Sorry to break it to you, but the stars shine equally for everybody, so anyone who says this to you at a dinner party is totally schmoozing. You probably thought we'd be nice and give this a 1 in honor of love and romance. If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison 'awww' or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

Chris Martin talking to Howard Stern about making the song.

In the evening, under a clear sky spattered with countless sparkling dots, your sweetheart says this and you swoon. We'd rather be bathed in star shine than be the star shine. Her take on Romeo and the stars is a little darker: 'Take him and cut him out in little stars / and he will make the face of heaven so fine / that all the world will be in love with the night / and pay no worship to the garish sun.' We like Martin's expression of love more than Juliet's.

Don't you wish things fell from the sky like that more often? Beats the heck out of slogging through a hundred re-writes. Chris Martin was looking at the stars one night, wrote a love song about them, called it 'Yellow' because of the Yellow Pages phonebook next to him in the studio, and made a hit song. Most of the pinpricks of light that shine in the night sky are also stars. Isn't that sweet? You're so special, look how the stars shine for you. This line is from the song 'Yellow' by Coldplay from the album Parachutes (2000). One of the easiest ways to distinguish between stars and planets in the night sky is by looking to see if the object twinkles.
