MORE: Where every Coldplay song and album has charted in the UK
Each of the 58 steps have been tailored with a different shade of yellow to symbolise the track’s immense depth of emotion and vigour. It starts with pale, muted tones before building to a deeper, more luminous gold to reflect the song’s powerful progression.
Yellow taps into themes of love, devotion and melancholy. Accompanied by the memorable music video featuring lead singer Chris Martin waltzing down Studland Bay in Dorset, an instant classic was immediately born.
Yellow peaked at Number 4 on the Official Singles Chart in July 2000 but has since become known as one of the bands greatest hits and a symbol of British music culture. The album Parachutes, which the single appears on, did clinch the Number 1 spot on the albums chart, though.
Now in its fourth year, Coldplay’s ongoing Music of the Spheres World Tour landed back in the UK on the 18th August, beginning with two shows at Craven Park in Hull, before their run at Wembley takes place four days later.
This installation is free to visit until September 30.
