yellow(酷玩樂隊演唱歌曲)

創作背景

2000年的一個晚上，酷玩樂隊錄製完專輯《Parachutes》中的歌曲《Shiver》後，一起出門休息。當時天上的星星在漆黑夜空中顯得特別耀眼。坐在一旁胡亂彈著吉他的主唱克里斯·馬汀抬起頭凝望著夜空，即興哼出了《Yellow》的旋律，靈感迅速地衝進了馬汀的大腦里。

馬汀在構思歌名的時候遇到了瓶頸，他想用一個特定的詞來貼合這首歌。他無意間看見當時錄音室里的史蒂芬妮（馬汀碰巧在錄音室的朋友）的黃色皮膚，史蒂芬妮皮膚洋溢的黃色光芒讓馬汀立即將這首歌被命名為《Yellow》。

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,

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.

Cos 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,
