Lyric discussion by christianv 

When I listen to this song I think of my little boy. He is now seven years old. He was born with highly functioning autism - aspergers. Although he has a "disability" he is the most special, beautiful, miraculous thing that has ever happened to me. I am a single dad and for the longest time it was just us. As the lyrics of this song go, I would do anything and everything for him... for his happiness. It's been hard at times and we've had to sacrifice a lot but everything was worth it. This song will always make me think of him. I dedicate it to him. "Yellow" is essentially about the undying selfless love one person feels for another. Be it a spouse, dear friend, mother, father, daughter, or son, etc.

@christianv I agree with you in that the song is about undying selfless love. However, I see it as the undying selfless love that our Savior, Jesus Christ has for us. He helped to create the beautiful earth that we live on and enjoy each day. He came to earth to show us the way to live and to tell us how we could live in order to return to live with Him again someday and He suffered for our sins and infirmities in order that we can repent and also know that someone truly does love...

@christianv that is a great tale of how you have made the song yours. That said, the song is about absolutely nothing, as ColdPlay have confirmed in several interviews. That you can make a song about nothing into something, makes the song special, and yours, especially a touching one.
