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.
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!
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!
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 ❤
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.
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. 💖💖💖
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
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.
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!!
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 ❤
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.
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.
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 :).
Mr. Frank, thank you for continuing to share your beautiful voice and guitar playing. I've listened to this song more than I can remember and it's one of my favorite songs by Coldplay, but out of all of those times, this is by far my favorite.
i love this old man, everytime i feel down i go to youtube and i open one of his videos... your sound just makes me forget all the stuff in the world, just mesmerizes me and makes me remember what summer nights on a beach feels like... love you so much Frank you are an amazing person
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
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.
I can just imagine we're sitting around a warm campfire with a small breeze blowing the ashes into the nightsky. We, a group of adventurers, have an old widowed spellcaster who is also magical with the guitar. Every night, at dinner, he would play and tell stories of his past. While enjoying the comforting crackles of the campfire, and eating some delicious soup that our only chef had whipped up for us, we would listen to the spellcaster's enchanting voice.
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❤️
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.
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.
[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.
There is some feeling of wisdom and gentleness when listening to You Frank, like sitting by the table with my own grandfather and sipping some good whiskey while talking about life and nature of time passing. Loved the cover (;
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

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.
uff, te mando un abrazo enorme! vas a poder seguir adelante :)
I am so sorry for your loss ❤

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 ✨
❤
I just had the urge to grab my guitar and had the privilege of playing along with Frank. Tears were there, accompanying too.
Someone PLEASE hire this man to do the soundtrack of a movie!!! This is URGENT!!!
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 🧐

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.

The simplest of chords and melody Frank plays is resonating deeper with us, then full symphonies. Thank you for this gift sir.
Your music is truly inspirational. Your smooth and warm voice gives me goosebumps with every phrase.

hey sir. I'm grateful to have found you. Thank you for the earthly words you conveyed from the heart.
There no words to describe the feelings you cause when listening to you sing this song.
Thank you for making us understand the true meaning.
I can just imagine we're sitting around a warm campfire with a small breeze blowing the ashes into the nightsky.

[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.
An absolutely beautiful cover
Once again as always such a beatiful cover…thank you❤
This is beautiful
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! 😊
Awesome. What a deep voice. That kind of voice that touch you. No need melisma to be awesome. Simple!
