C. Martin implied in interview that the line "look at the stars, look how they shine for you" was from a Neil Young song. Can anyone tell me which one? Adambisset 14:21, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
In the current series of the O.C. there was a version of Yellow by some female singer. Is there anybody who could tell me what it is?
What does Your skin, Oh yeah your skin and bones, Turn into something beautiful mean in the song? Is it, by any way, implying that someone's skin and bones turn into something beautiful? 203.98.102.8 07:24, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
that is a very interesting line. think about humans; we are just made up of physical matter, i.e. skin and bones. but we are more than just a clump of carbon and oxygen, proteins and enzymes; we have something to us, a soul, a mind, a heart. that's what's meant by the line: we're more than just our physical bodies; there's something inside of us that beautiful and complex and special: a soul.
well to get started with : what does "yellow" means to say in the song "YELLOW"??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.65.221.29 ( talk • contribs)
The lyrics include the lines: " swam across I jumped across for you Oh what a thing to do".
Is it possible that Martin's drenched appearance refers to his swimming to the locus of the narration rather than it merely happened to be raining when they were filming (heck, British weather!)? truthordare ( talk) 21:43, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
Doesn't the song I don't love you off there new album The Black Parade have almost exactly the same tempo, structure and chord progression as Yellow...not saying anything bad about either band. just it caught my eye..or should i say ear. -- User: Ksharpe126
Please move the page to Yellow_(Coldplay song) as there is another song titled Yellow.

It says in the article that the location of the video was Inch beach in Ireland, however, it clearly states in this Coldplay e-zine that it was filmed at Studland Bay. There have been numerous previous updates to the contrary. The article has been updated to reflect this new information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.156.60.166 ( talk) 15:29, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I am reviewing this article for GA. I choose to review it because I read the article and found it very interesting and clearly written, even though I knew nothing about the band or the song. I have read it through several times now and find nothing significantly wrong with it. It is well written, well organized and well referenced. The images are fine. I will be adding comments about a few suggested minor wording changes, as well as anything else I may notice. — Mattisse ( Talk) 18:25, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Published by Rolling Stone magazine, Martin retells the genesis of "Yellow". -- Efe ( talk) 12:00, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
I'm not going to say anything should be done, although 10% of the audio track is around 27 seconds. The sample appears to be 39 seconds right now. mechamind 9 0 02:46, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
The music video section of the article says that the video was taken in one continuous shot with no cuts. This is not true. Here's the source from the official Coldplay website. The video took one hour to be shot and Coldplay actually ran five times through the song. So should I correct the statement in the music video section of the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smtchahal ( talk • contribs) 10:47, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
This is not true. The Video was one continuous shot. What is incorrect is that the band conceived the idea. I am one of the Directors of this video and I can prove this to not be true. Credit where credit is due. — Preceding

The EP released in 2000 is almost certainly the same as the single, and the release date is almost consistent with this, it's just that the book cited as a source refers to this and "Shiver" as EPs. Peter James ( talk) 16:22, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

The reference provided says the vocals go from F#4 to G#5, but I really think it's from F#3 to G#4.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC_wPY_-glw At 3:32 he hits the highest note of the song.If you have a mobile tuner app, it should say this is G#4.

Like many songs, this one has been covered by various other artists. Most of these covers are trivial, per WP:COVERSONG.
Also like many songs, this one has been used in popular culture. Such uses are generally trivial, per WP:SONGTRIVIA/ WP:IPC. - SummerPhD v2.0 13:15, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
