I lost my girlfriend in February unexpectedly, and her favorite color was yellow. Every time i hear this song, i cry a little, but hearing this version, i am sobbing while sitting here. It makes so much more sense hearing it this way.
I asked for you to do this cover 4 years ago. Ive been listening to you since i went to rehab back in February 28th,2020. I will be 4 years on my sobriety journey next month and you were a big part of my rehab journey. 2 unfortunate slips in the past 4 years but im still standing strong. Love you always, Frank! Stay rocking!
Just what I needed today. I’m sitting here at home with a heart monitor on. Idk what my future holds for me. But in the few moments I get to slow down and see or listen to something beautiful, my worries give me a chance to breathe for a minute. Thank you for this gift Frank.
I’ve sung this song at a Coldplay concert at the rose bowl, 80k people, all the lights, all the speakers and everyone singing along… and here I am tearing up because of one man and his guitar playing and singing with all his heart! That’s the power of music! It doesn’t matter who it comes from, or in what way it’s presented… if it’s done right, it can be the most powerful thing ever! Great performance mate! Thank you so much for sharing it with the world!
SOMEONE PLEASE GET THIS MAN ON DISNEY!!!! I can imagine a movie where he’s singing to a grandchild or even to his own lover. This voice definitely needs a to be in a movie!!!!!
I saw a grandpa and clicked on the video. What an impressive voice you have, sir. Congratulations! God bless and give you many years of life in His Presence! Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷❤
That deep voice and that singing with emotions, it really made me think about some things going in my life Keep living, keep singing granpa, love from India ❤
can you be my grandpa please? you are so wholesome and every song brings tears to my eyes. makes me want to lay on the couch and close my eyes and just listen to you sing. the emotions are so overwhelming and it’s amazing. 💖💖💖
I'm a spanish young boy, I'm studying in the university and i know i've lot time to learn and having fun. Unfortunately my grandparents are no longer here and they couldn't know how much I love coldplay and how it is helping me at this point in my life. But thanks to you, you make me imagine them singing to me to relax and give me strength to continue completing the challenges that life presents to me. I hope I don't have too many writing mistakes 😅. Anyways, thanks for being here.
thank you frank. i watched this after your mitski cover and this song has always made me emotional due to the memories i have attached to it but this cover was especially touching. you’re amazing!!
Currently tired of life in general. But hearing this, tearing up, gave an emotional release. Thanks Frank! Keep doing what you do. It gives a life line to a lot of pwople.
This is the most heartwarming channel that I have ever seen . Thank you soo much Mr Frank Wish to you good heath and happiness So that you will continue to sing for us Love from all the way to mauritius ❤
Офигеть дедушка красавчик, неожиданно просто и круто звучит. Все пытаются выжать голосом высокие ноты, а тут все почти шепотом а качает как на кнцерте!!! прям открытие!!
Wow…I’ve listened to this song for years during hard times, but not once did I ever feel so much emotion as I just did hearing this. It’s insane how much music can do the body, mind and soul
The song itself is so unique ...and now with this voice its truly mesmerising, amazing, nostalgic ... I can't explain that in words to be honest. I don't know what but sometimes is VERY SPECIAL about this voice.
Just found this channel, and as a singer myself, I’m obsessed! Love the cover and all your originals. please keep singing. Your voice and music is lovely.
The sheer emotion in your voice has brought me to tears and ignited reminiscence of my passed father, thank you frank. This was truely heartfelt. A new fan from Australia :).
I've never had the opportunity to experience the feeling of listening to any song again for the first time. Frank has done that for me, I think I truly understand how to appreciate music so much more from his videos. The emotion behind each lyric and intention in his playing is so impactful. Keep singing king, keep singing.
Frank, the rawness makes these so beautiful. It's such a nice song but it's so nice to hear it like this. Your a fantastic musician Frank :) :D. Thank you for deciding to share it with us :). Also your dog is very cute :), was nice seeing them in the background.
Tears streaming down my face. Ive always liked this song, but it's as if im now hearing this for the first time. This is beautiful! I hope Chris Martin hears this.... he'd be blown away! ❤
hi frank! i recently came across the one year anniversary of my grandpa’s passing and i love to watch your videos. they remind me of when my grandpa would sing to me❤️
My mom loves this song, and I finally got to share my admiration for Frank by playing this version to her. Amazing feeling perfect por this song. Thank you, Frank
There is no way someone could not feel the real meaning of this song when it is sung this way. Dear Frank Watkinson, your versions are always incredible, and they also bring an extra strengh to the song. Thanks for the great covers. Wish you the best, hugs from Brazil.
It's amazing how a beautiful thing is someone singing with their guitar when they're enjoy singing together, as simple as that, but beautiful as much as something could possibly be
[LYRICS] 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 turn Oh, what a thing to have done And it was all yellow. Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones Turn into something beautiful And 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 And your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones Turn into something beautiful And you know, for you, I'd bleed myself dry For you, I'd 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 P.S: Love you, Frank. Thanks for another dose of beautiful melancholy.
I love this cover so much! Of course, I love the original, but the lyrics carry so much more weight when the song is pared down to its core. Your style is unique and irreplaceable, Frank.
In about a week it will have been a year since my grandpa died. my life has been so full of chaos and other hardships that i haven’t been able to pause long enough to properly grieve. Some of my favorite memories of him are of him singing, and your voice sounds just like his. i don’t know why youtube suggested one of your videos to me tonight, but i’m glad i clicked on it because your videos are bringing me a lot of comfort tonight 💕
There’s so many comments I hope you read this. I spent years almost in isolation because I was so ill I could barely come out of my room. I got so detached from life and people. Your voice is the kind of thing that could bring me back and remember what life is. That there is good. I don’t like when people cover songs to sound exactly like the artist. You sir are why there should be covers. Because despite these not being tour lyrics, every word of every song you sing, you sing as your own it’s a real talent. Thank you for sharing your voice and gift with us 🥺
With all due respect to Coldplay, this is the first time I really understood what the song was supposed to be about. Frank is a magician ❤
VOILA.
Yes he is… 😊
I have experienced the same thing with several of Frank's cover songs. Turns a familiar song into something extraordinary and meaningful.
very true. I used to joke with my friends and say "yellow" in a funny way. Now it has struck a chord with me
Same.
Lol true
I cried listening to this. Never heard someone play with so much emotion. I can tell Frank has been through a lot. His singing tells it all.
im crying
Me too
Me too😢❤
Me too. He may have ALOT of confidence & be an outstanding performer!❤
Me too
There are few things that make me as happy as a new Frank Watkinson cover/original.
I just found Mr. Watkinson and I can understand why! This song will haunt my sleep tonight. This is what love is about.
I lost my girlfriend in February unexpectedly, and her favorite color was yellow. Every time i hear this song, i cry a little, but hearing this version, i am sobbing while sitting here. It makes so much more sense hearing it this way.

Hey, @elephunk6456, that's rough. I see it's been a year since you posted. Hope you're hanging in there.

I am so sorry for your loss ❤
i'm so sorry, wishing you all the best, you're wonderful, everything's will be good, you are gonna be with your true love forever!!!

YES! I agree completely!
Yaaasssss! I was just telling my guy this the other night when we found him! I also want him to play at our wedding, where does he live? Lol 🧐
Just what I needed today. I’m sitting here at home with a heart monitor on. Idk what my future holds for me. But in the few moments I get to slow down and see or listen to something beautiful, my worries give me a chance to breathe for a minute. Thank you for this gift Frank.
Hey how are you
Hey man, just hope you are still around. In the end of the day, we all are one. Wish you the best sincerely 🫶🏻
I've been there. I go back to being there sometimes with my heart condition. I hope you'll be ok.
Get well ❤️🩹 your love personified as the song say look how they shine for you ✨

holy... Coldplay must see this and give this man a full VIP concert ticket with a backstage ticket and on stage performance.
I'll never forget this man because his songs have more meaning then every modern-day song combined
SOMEONE PLEASE GET THIS MAN ON DISNEY!!!! I can imagine a movie where he’s singing to a grandchild or even to his own lover. This voice definitely needs a to be in a movie!!!!!
i want to be in a movie where i'm busking and get taken down in a drive by. lol.
@@FrankWatkinson oh my goodness 😂😂😂 I did not expect this response! Haha.
I just had the urge to grab my guitar and had the privilege of playing along with Frank. Tears were there, accompanying too.
I saw a grandpa and clicked on the video. What an impressive voice you have, sir. Congratulations! God bless and give you many years of life in His Presence!
Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷❤

O brasil precisa de você, Frank! Muito feliz por poder te ouvir cantar e tocar com tanta expressividade e sinceridade. ♥

It's outstanding how you make each song your own! And the rawness of it makes me so emotional. Thank you Frank x
This... This is the best cover of this song I've ever heard. Props to Coldplay for the lyrics and tune, but you Frank made me *feel* it. Thank you 🥹
So many songs on this channel I discovered yesterday, reminds me of Johnny Cash’s cover of NIN Hurt.
Just lovely❤
Instantly brought tears to my eyes. Your voice feels like sunshine on my face 🌞

This is... absolutely amazing, I don't have the words to explain what emotion I'm having right now... I'm just on tears.
Офигеть дедушка красавчик, неожиданно просто и круто звучит. Все пытаются выжать голосом высокие ноты, а тут все почти шепотом а качает как на кнцерте!!! прям открытие!!
This is so calming. I could listen to this all day. God bless your beautiful soul 😭
Wow…I’ve listened to this song for years during hard times, but not once did I ever feel so much emotion as I just did hearing this. It’s insane how much music can do the body, mind and soul

Thanks Larry.
This is so good. This is my favorite song, ever...Thank you, sir. May you bless with good health❤

[LYRICS]
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 turn
Oh, what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow.
Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And 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
And your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And you know, for you, I'd bleed myself dry
For you, I'd 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
P.S: Love you, Frank. Thanks for another dose of beautiful melancholy.
I was excited today after a long time I think Frank, and now you uploaded this. It is nice I should feel. Everyone should be well...
I love this cover so much! Of course, I love the original, but the lyrics carry so much more weight when the song is pared down to its core. Your style is unique and irreplaceable, Frank.

FINALLYYYY, please do a Sparks cover from the same album!!! please!!!! ❤
Do you mean Sparks (the band)? If so, I agree - would love to hear Never Turn Your Back (On Mother Earth) through Frank’s way…
@@jipsigal no, i said Sparks from the same album, Parachutes
@@stacial I realized that shortly after my comment… oops! 😊
I cried too when listening to this. Frank, you really moved me. Thank you for posting this.
As always amazing cover Frank! We love your songs and covers ❤
The simplest of chords and melody Frank plays is resonating deeper with us, then full symphonies. Thank you for this gift sir.
a versão mais bela que já vi dessa música. ♡ eu amei.
Grandpa, it was a sad song now, it became sadder. 😢 You are great. ❤
This is beautiful
And so I stumbled across this man randomly, and my life has changed forever. ❤️
This is amazing :)
