Yellow Cover

This is my first non-Porcupine tree cover for the blog. I love the old-school Coldplay tunes, they seem to exude a lot of personality, whilst having simple sing-along lyrics. I hope the follow-up to MX is more unique. This one is a classic tune,so I thought I'd give it a shot. Did it over 2-3 days because of my other pending work. If you say it isn't really faithful to the original, I agree, because I didn't see the point of doing a watered down take of the original (which I can't even hope to do justice to), so I just went for my own interpretation, in places. Recording this was kind of cathartic, I'm not too sure how to explain. I guess, the act of harmonizing with someone, is a source of unbridled joy, even if it is with yourself. I dedicate this to my sister, because it's her birthday today. I can't do a Bartesque 'Lisa it's your Birthday', so this will have to do.
