The song you're referring to is called Yellow, and is by the contemporary British rock band, Coldplay. Yellow was released in the year 2000, and was the song that propelled the band to worldwide fame.
Full lyrics for Yellow, by Coldplay
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow
I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called 'Yellow'
So then I took my time
Oh what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow
Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know? You know I love you so
You know I love you so
I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
'Cause you were all yellow
I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow
Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know? For you I bleed myself dry
For you I bleed myself dry
It's true
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do
Personally, I've never been a huge fan of Coldplay. However, Yellow was a massive hit, and helped to establish the band as one of the most popular groups on the British music scene in the first decade of the 21st Century.
The History of Coldplay
Coldplay were formed by lead vocalist Chris Martin in 1996. However, the band was originally called Starfish, and its name was only changed to 'Coldplay' in 1998. They released a short string of EPs towards the end of the 1990s, before releasing Yellow in 2000.
Coldplay's debut album Parachutes was released shortly afterwards, in the same year. It received huge critical acclaim and was nominated for a Mercury Music Award.
The band went on to release four other studio albums, and their most recent, called Mylo Xyloto,was released in 2011. This album went on to top the charts in 34 countries, and was declared the best-selling rock album in the UK in 2011.
