“The title ‘Yellow’ came from a telephone list called Yellow Pages (Yellow Pages). The whole song came from a mistake, a break, a dysfunctional machine (recorder), something that was out there and the stars themselves. It was all a gift. I went to where Jonny (Bucklandguitarist) and Will (Championdrummer) were playing FIFA In the salon and said, ‘Listen to that – what do you think?’ They barely looked up. ‘Yeah, it’s all great. “

In statement highlighted by the website Songfactshe adds:

Adjustments in composition

“Yellow ‘ It was our passport everywhere. The first time we came to the United States – before I had the right tools to control my emotions – I had a real attack of anger because the label had changed the cover of that single to a more yellow tone. I freaked out because I thought, ‘No, no, we specifically chose this tone of hot orange.’ They said, ‘But we don’t understand. The music is called ‘Yellow ‘‘. And I said, ‘You don’t understand me’. Now I would deal with it more diplomatic. “
