It seems like ages ago. But before Coldplay went their adult contemporary ways, they produced two wonderful albums full of dissonance and intrigue: Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head. And “Yellow” was one of their finest musical moments from that era. A song that was as cathartic as it was melodic. It introduced us to one of Coldplay’s truly ownable sounds: Chris Martin’s towering falsetto vocals.

“Look at the stars. Look how they shine for you.”
