A rather random post. I thought of writing something about music that deals with colours. I have three songs to “showcase”.

Coldplay – Yellow

Probably the most famous song of the trio that I am going to write about. This was probably THE song that propelled Coldplay to the top of the charts. A enduring classic even to this day. I’ve been listening to Coldplay a lot recently, probably because of the interest rekindled by their performance at Glastonbury this year. I swear to myself that I must attend Glastonbury in 2013 when it returns and, hopefully, Coldplay will perform as well.

Les Miserables – Red and Black

In my opinion, this is one of the under-looked songs from the musical, other than the obvious crowd favourite “Do you hear the people sing?”. It evokes a sort of nationalism in you when you hear the characters sing about revolution. This version I have embedded above features Nick Jonas singing as Marius, which I don’t think is as good as the original singer from the original Broadway Cast.

Eiffel 65 – Blue

An old song. I just randomly remembered this song when I wanted to write a post about colours. One of my favourite songs when I was in Primary School. Worth a listen after ten years.
