Is simplicity the key?: Coldplay - Yellow

While there are many over the top and crazy videos out there today in music video land, Coldplay's video for the song Yellow is not one of them. Some would argue this is a good thing as it lets viewers focus on the music accompanying the video. I would even be inclined to agree with them, if this video wasn't so damn boring.

Now don't get me wrong, I like Coldplay as much as the next guy, more even, but I get quickly tired of watching some dude walking along a beach for five minutes. I mean come on... its not even a nice beach.

In defence of the band they probably didn't have much money to spend on a video considering this was one of their first singles, but nevertheless, I'm sure they could have tried something.

Anyway, thanks for reading my rant concerning Yellow, and welcome to the blog!
