Coldplay

The song was recorded in March 2000 and released in June that year as the single from Coldplay's debut album, "Parachutes". Although the color yellow can have negative implications, according to lead singer Chris Martin, "It was used simply because that word sounded nice, it just seemed to fit, no other reason. None of the other colors would have sounded right really!, The song is about devotion, About doing something for someone and being pleased about it. - Chris Martin." The music video was filmed on the beach of Studland Bay (Dorset, England). As it was shot at 50 fps, to achieve the slow-motion, Chris Martin had to sing the song at double speed so that the audio and video would be in sync. Yellow received two Grammy nominations and reached #4 in the UK Singles Chart, marking Coldplay's first top-five hit in the UK. The song has since been covered by various artists worldwide, and remains one of the band's most popular songs. Lyrics: Look at the stars Look how they shine for you And everything you do Yeah, they were all yellow I came along I wrote a song for you And all the things you do And it was called "Yellow" So then I took my turn Oh what a thing to have done And it was all yellow Your skin Oh yeah your skin and bones Turn into something beautiful Do you know You know I love you so You know I love you so I swam across I jumped across for you Oh what a thing to do 'Cause you were all yellow I drew a line I drew a line for you Oh what a thing to do And it was all yellow Your skin Oh yeah your skin and bones Turn into something beautiful Do you know For you I'd bleed myself dry For you I'd bleed myself dry It's true Look how they shine for you Look how they shine for you Look how they shine for Look how they shine for you Look how they shine for you Look how they shine Look at the stars Look how they shine for you And all the things that you do

Clocks is a song by the British rock band Coldplay. It was released on 17 March 2003 by Parlophone in the United Kingdom. It was written and composed as a collaboration among all the members of the band for their second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head. The song is built around a piano riff, and features cryptic lyrics concerning themes of contrast and urgency. Lyrics: The lights go out and I can't be saved Tides that I tried to swim against Have brought me down upon my knees Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing Come out of things unsaid Shoot an apple off my head and a Trouble that can't be named A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing You are You are Confusion never stops Closing walls and ticking clocks Gonna come back and take you home I could not stop that you now know, singing Come out upon my seas Cursed missed opportunities Am I a part of the cure? Or am I part of the disease? Singing You are, you are, you are You are, you are, you are And nothing else compares Oh nothing else compares And nothing else compares You are You are Home, home where I wanted to go Home, home where I wanted to go Home, home where I wanted to go Home, home where I wanted to go
