I didn't hear that. (It) just came out, came through. I'll tell you exactly how it happened. We were in Wales and my microphone was broken or something; I was waiting to record something else. And I was thinking about Neil Young and I was starting to do a Neil Young impression just to try and make everyone giggle. I love Neil Young. So I was like, doing this and I was like, and it was very starry outside. I was like, look at the stars like trying to do, I can't do Neil Young for shit, but that's how it came out, (I) was trying to do that. I never told anybody that. You started to do it. You started to do your Neil Young impression. This is pretty good. And then Yellow came out with the lyrics? - Yeah. Could you play a little of that, the way you did at that time that you, that it first came out of you? Yeah. I have to switch to a guitar. Is that cool? Hey, if you're willing to do it, go ahead. - I'll bring it. Switch to anything you want. I'm happy with that. I didn't know you play guitar too. So I was just waiting like sound checking like this. We had another song called Shiver, which is on our first record, which is, OK. And, I was waiting to do that and then I was found this chord because I like to use strange tuning on the guitar. So that chord made. I liked it. And then that chord. So it's like, "Look at the stars." Real Neil Young and then the rest just come out. Come on, play a little. In my voice or in my bad Neil young voice? Do it in your voice. - OK. ♫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♫ Wow, that is beautiful. Now, that is a romantic song. - Yeah. Were you in love with someone at the time you wrote that? - No. That's not about a specific girl. - No, it's about all girls.
