Valentine's Day: 20 Greatest Love Songs Of All Time
19. "Yellow" - Coldplay
http://youtu.be/1MwjX4dG72s Its time to face a couple of cold (excuse the pun) hard facts: leggings are not pants, Superman would destroy Batman, and Coldplay has sold out. Dont shoot the messenger. But, come on, if you built a time machine and traveled back to circa-2000-Parachutes-era Coldplay, held Martin down and played anything from Mylo Xyloto, Im pretty sure he would self-destruct (releasing a 6 part comic series telling the story behind the recordyeah, thats not pretentious). Since were already visiting circa-2000-Parachutes-era Coldplay lets take a look at Yellow. Martins reedy vocals are perfectly suited to the songs ethereal feel. The song was everywhere in 2000 and it captured what we wanted to be in the new millennium: hopeful and romantic, thoughtful and transcendent.
