Coldplay are
a British rock band formed in London in 1996. The
performing members comprise vocalist, rhythm guitarist and pianist Chris Martin, lead guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, and drummer Will Champion. They met at University College London
and began playing music together from 1996 to 1998, first
calling themselves Pectoralz and then Starfish before finally changing their
name to Coldplay. Their creative director and former manager Phil
Harvey is
considered the fifth member of the band.
After
changing their name to Coldplay, the band recorded and released two EPs, Safety in 1998 and The
Blue Room in
1999, the latter was their first release under a major record label, Parlophone. Coldplay achieved worldwide fame with the
release of the song "Yellow" in 2000, followed in the same year by
their debut album Parachutes,
which was nominated for the Mercury Prize. The band's second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head(2002), was released to critical acclaim. Their next record,
X&Y, was the best-selling album worldwide of 2005. While the Brian Eno-produced fourth studio album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends(2008) was the best-selling album of said year
and earned the band three Grammy Awards. In 2011, Coldplay released their fifth studio album, Mylo Xyloto, which topped the charts in over 34 countries
and was the UK's best-selling rock album of 2011. The band have since released Ghost Stories(2014),
A Head
Full of Dreams(2015)
and Everyday Life(2019).
In 2021, they announced their ninth studio álbum Music of the Spheres.
Coldplay
have sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, making them one of the world's best-selling music artists. They have won numerous awards throughout their career, including
nine Brit Awards, seven MTV
Video Music Awards,
eight MTV
Europe Music Awards and seven Grammy
Awards from
35 nominations. The band's first three albums—Parachutes(2000), A Rush of Blood
to the Head(2002), and X&Y(2005) — are among the best-selling albums in UK chart
history.
"Yellow"
is a song by the British rock band Coldplay. The band wrote the song and co-produced it with
British record producer Ken Nelson
for their debut album, Parachutes(2000).
The song was recorded in March 2000 and released on 26 June that same year as
the second UK single from Parachutes, following "Shiver", and as the lead single in the United States.
"Yellow"
reached number four on the UK Singles Chart, giving Coldplay their first top-five hit in the
United Kingdom. It was Coldplay's breakthrough hit
internationally, reaching number one in Iceland, number five in Australia,
number nine in Ireland and number 48 in the United States. Helped by heavy
rotation and usage in advertising, the song thrust the band into popularity.
"Yellow" has since been covered by various recording artists
worldwide, and remains one of the band's most popular songs.
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
What a thing to've done
And it was all yellow
Your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn in to 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
What a thing to do
'Cause you were all yellow
I drew a line
I drew a line for you
What a thing to do
And it was all yellow
And your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn in to 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.
