SPECIAL THANKS to Earthworks Microphones for helping us make this shoot happen (and for making the best microphones!). Also, big thanks to Paul Jacobson from Avatar Productions and Pierre Rueda for their video expertise.

Is anyone else in denial like us that this song came out almost 20 YEARS AGO?! Crazy. It's still one of our favourites though. We loved working on it and had a blast filming!

Brooklyn Duo:
Marnie Laird, piano
Patrick Laird, cello

Brooklyn Duo uses Earthworks microphones.

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
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

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

BROOKLYN DUO BIO:

Founded in 2014, Brooklyn Duo has quickly established itself as one of today’s most successful classical crossover ensembles. Through its creative arrangements and live video performances, the piano and cello duo has garnered a huge following, with over 800,000 YouTube subscribers, and over 150 million streams annually on platforms such as Spotify and Pandora Radio.

In 2014, on a whim, the couple arranged and recorded two pop covers and released them on YouTube. Amazingly, Shakira noticed the duo’s cover and promoted it to her 130 million-plus fan base, saying: “We're loving Brooklyn Duo's piano/cello cover of Empire! Great work guys." The boost that resulted from that exposure and the positive response they were getting on YouTube encouraged the couple to continue creating videos. (Other notable shout-outs since then include ones from Taylor Swift, a-ha and Pearl Jam.)

Today, Marnie and Patrick have released over 100 videos on their Brooklyn Duo YouTube channel and 9 albums of covers, spanning artists from The Beatles to Metallica to Ariana Grande. In 2016, the couple started a second YouTube channel, Brooklyn Classical, with the goal of introducing classical music to a larger audience through high quality, live performances. Brooklyn Classical often hosts high-profile guest artists, including the world-renowned Dover and Escher string quartets, percussionist Ivan Trevino and cellist Cicely Parnas.

In 2017, Marnie and Patrick partnered with Carnegie Hall and Ensemble Connect to produce a cover of a-ha’s “Take On Me”. The video went viral and garnered millions of views in just a few months. Popular classical music stations Classic FM and WQXR regularly share Brooklyn Duo’s music on their social media pages, with Classic FM calling the duo “masters of the artfully planned pop cover.” Their music has also been featured on several television shows, including Grey's Anatomy and Pretty Little Liars.

Highly appreciate the yellow socks and nail varnish 👌

My two year old and I watch your videos every morning. She gets so excited, and her eyes are filled with wonder.. she loves you guys and has loved you since she was 4 months old. She grew up with you. Yellow is her favorite piece.. i just wanted to say thank you for the music, for being there at the 4am feedings, the tantrums, and the simple beautiful moments where she looks at me and smiles with that little light in her eyes. My husband and I feel so lucky to have found your music.. i feel like i owe you guys a fancy dinner for everytime you've saved our sanity.

I really hope to listen this song in Bridgerton Season 3! <3

[RMom]

People keep commenting about Patrick's yellow socks, yet Marnie is also wearing yellow: on her nails. Love the energy and love which you both put into your music.

I’m going to walk down the aisle to this on 10/01/22. Walking towards the man that proved to me that soulmates exist. That you can marry your best friend. That life is worth living through all the pain. My arm wrapped around my father’s. I can’t wait. Thank you

[pedrovalente]

The crescendos at 1:22 and 2:44 are something never seen in instrumental performances of this kind, probably the best sequences ever. The nerve and complicity of the Duo and sheer beauty of the arrangements leave me without suitable words of praise. Thank you!

[INTJ-Sara]

I listen to this more than the Coldplay original. It has so much heart. One of my favorite songs.

[Superninja-xxdd]

I love to watch people play instruments like this since learning piano. The true emotion on their faces is just addicting and opens your heart to all of that music offers.

[christabellechn]

Thank you for the music sheet. This piece is gonna be played at my daughter’s wedding this Saturday, June 27, 2020 by her brother in piano and sister in cello. It’s hauntingly beautiful.

[vicy.]

If I'm ever stressed, I'll listen to your covers and dance my heart away. Before a recital, before/after practice, on stage in the wings, when no one is looking or when I'm in public...your music gives me life and joy. 💙 It would mean the world to me if you both did a cover of Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi. I couldn't imagine anyone else doing that song justice except you both.

[brandonaguilera]

Last night, my wife walked down the isle to this song. Instantly brings me to tears. What a beautiful moment this was and this song will forever remind me of that moment. Beautiful song. Thank you guys so much.

[rebeccamiller]

This was my mom's favourite song, it was played at her funeral, I also have the lyrics tattooed on my right shoulder going down in memory of my mom. I'm getting married in 2024 and have found the right song to walk down the aisle to, for my mom as it will mean alot to me and my family x

[greengreen]

The way they just play their instruments with passion and joy makes this even better. They are just perfect for each other with their harmony, this just makes my heart melt and inspired me play the piano again. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

[Barbara-gyjq]

You are my favorite duo....you're magic together. May God Bless you always.

[boss]

One of the best covers of this song that I've ever heard...

[amandalopesss]

Their look to each other is just so pure ❤

[JamesDFeldman]

This uplifted my day. Learned of a friend's near-death illness, the loss of another friend 42-year son asthma attack and a business deal went south...and then this made up for all the darkness by shining a light on talent, music, and the color yellow. Thank you so much.

[davidherman]

Great arrangement. I think Cold Play would be very proud of your performance. Beautiful.

[stevenfromer]

I love these people. It is impossible to listen to their music and not hear beauty. The love they pour into each other is expressed is their music. Beautiful
