Yellow - Coldplay Guitar FC (GHWT:DE) "Guitar Hero 3 Remastered" HD Gameplay (PC)

My Thoughts On The Song/Chart: Nothing special here, just using the "GH Remastered" ReShade Profile on GHWT:DE after hearing about it on Lore Hero. TBH i had my eyes on this ReShade profile for a while and was following development of it but never realized how good it could look.

It honestly does look really good, with striking visuals that are a love letter to the original game of GH3. Admittingly the Mask UI kind of bleeds into the highway at times, which is something that i'm not sure if can be fixed or not but overall i'm impressed with what i see.

Song Facts:
"Yellow" is a song by the British rock band Coldplay. The band wrote the song and co-produced it with British record producer Ken Nelson for their debut album, Parachutes (2000). The song was released on 26 June 2000 as the second UK single from Parachutes, following "Shiver", and as the lead single in the United States.

"Yellow" reached number four on the UK Singles Chart, giving Coldplay their first top-five hit in the United Kingdom. It was Coldplay's breakthrough hit internationally, reaching number one in Iceland, number five in Australia, number nine in Ireland and number 48 in the United States.

Helped by radio rotation and usage in television and movies, the song thrust the band into popularity. "Yellow" has since been covered by various recording artists worldwide, and remains one of the band's most popular songs.

"Yellow" has been called an alternative rock, post-Britpop, and pop rock song.

Martin has explained, "'Yellow' refers to the mood of the band. Brightness and hope and devotion."

The song received critical acclaim. Matt Diehl of Rolling Stone has noted "Yellow" is "unrepentantly romantic", adding that "the band creates a hypnotic slo-mo otherworld where spirit rules supreme".

"Yellow" has also won Best Single at the 2001 NME Awards and got nominated at the 2002 Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.

In 2021, Billboard included "Yellow" at 35th place in their "Greatest Songs of 2001" list.

The music video for "Yellow" was filmed at Studland Bay in the county of Dorset, South West England on 23 May 2000.

The video is minimalistic, featuring only Martin singing the song as he walks along the beach. He is seen wearing a set of waterproofs with his hair wet. The video is one continuous shot with no cuts. The entire sequence is in slow motion.

The song is regarded as a career-making record by Rolling Stone magazine and has since been considered the centrepiece of the Parachutes album.

Martin Roach claimed in his book Coldplay: Nobody Said It Was Easy that although "Shiver" earned the band their first UK Top 40 single, it was "Yellow" that changed "everything"; he also mentioned how the track "exemplifies much of what made [them] popular"

In a 20th-anniversary article, The Independent credited the song for altering the course of 21st-century rock, given how it was responsible for beginning Coldplay's trajectory as one of the biggest bands in the world.

Similarly, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame included "Yellow" on their "Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll" list for being one of the most successful and important recordings in music, while Barry Walters from Spin magazine noted that Coldplay is still known in the United States for their "surprise smash"
