I would like to describe my favorite song which is called Yellow by Coldplay. It is arguably one of the most iconic songs of Coldplay. It is a retrospective and heartfelt song. The lyrics are written from the perspective of a young person who is longing or anticipating for something or someone. The lyrics go like, I wrote a song for you, I swam across and jumped across for you, repeatedly mentioning the acts of service that this young person had done for the thing or person he wanted. The tone of the song is tender and blending hope and anticipation and the lyrics are simple but genuine. I first heard this song when a friend of mine who was a fever fan of Coldplay recommended it to me and I fell in love with it before the music reached its chorus. Apart from the lyrics, the song, the melody was excellent. It features clear guitar notes, a steady bass line and soft drumming. It is a very pleasant and emotional song. It is a very pleasant and emotional song. I like listening to this song because it captures all the longing and anticipation of a young person. I played it over 100 times over the past two years and I play it whenever I am preparing for something I really want. I feel that the song is talking about my story and I feel deeply resonated within. So that is why I really like it.
