“Chris made the new album sound all the more enticing when he revealed to VH1 some of the personal events that had surrounded its writing (virtually all of which the band kept a closely guarded secret): “[It’s] born from all the places we’ve been and the things we’ve experienced. Some of our friends have died and some of us have fallen in love. Some of us have fallen out of love and some of us have been to Haiti and some us have been to Australia. Some of us have met Bono and some of us have met someone with nothing. It’s like a massive culture gun fired at our heads. All this stuff has been happening to us, and now we have the opportunity to put it into some songs.”
Martin Roach, Viva Coldplay: A Biography

“In the Seventies, there was Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, in the Eighties there was Duran Duran’s ‘Rio’ and in the Nineties ‘Runaway Train’ by Soul Asylum. We’re Coldplay and this is ‘Yellow’.”
Martin Roach, Viva Coldplay: A Biography

“Songwriting is a mix of fiction and myth. Things are very romanticised. A song is like a film in that you can say anything you want. So there are parts that are based on truth and there are also parts that just sound good or feel good. It’s a mixture of the two. It’s all imagery. It’s not strictly truth.”
