I came along,
I wrote a song for you,
And all the things you do,
And it was called "Yellow"
Quote:
"Yellow" is the breakthrough single that earned Coldplay international recognition. It was the second single from their debut album Parachutes and their first Top 10 hit on the UK Singles Chart. Regional singles were released for France, the United States, and Brazil.
The song was recorded at Liverpool's Parr Street Studios. The recording was rushed, so that the song could be released in time for Summer 2000. In 2001, the single was used extensively for ABC fall television promotions, and was also employed as the theme music for The Cancer Council Australia's "Daffodil Day", in recognition of that organization's official flower's yellow hue.
On VH1's Storytellers program, Chris Martin revealed that his inspiration for the song's title came from the Yellow Pages.[1]
The song is consistently played during home games at English Premiership club Watford.

This is where I first heard this. Been in my heart ever since
Great song!
