Song of the Day: Yellow by Coldplay

You could say so much about this video and song. It's really Romeo and Juilet in the form of
music instead of a written play. I like the chorus with the ethereal backing vocals. The lyrics of
life and love, heaven and hell. Any yes Hell is definetly there in the dirty guitar tone the sound of heartbreak. But there is such a beautiful contrast with the chorus that is heavenly, it really is.
I like how the video shows the stars at the start just verging on being left out of the frame.
There's so much going on in this song that makes it transcend music and turn into pure emotion
and feeling. Chris Martin isn't a genius for writing this song he's human this song is about
the human condition and the affects of love on our souls. It's honest and you can feel the longing
in every aspect of the song especially the musical performance that was recorded. I'd love to know
how many takes this song took to record. Drums lag a bit that makes me think it wasn't the first, i'll have to find out! This song is the "Let Her Go" of the 90's... :)
