6. Yello is a Swiss electronica band consisting of Dieter Meier and Boris Blank. They are probably best known for their singles "The Race" and "Oh Yeah", which feature a mix of electronic music and manipulated vocals, as does most of their music. The band was originally formed by Boris Blank (keyboards, sampling, percussion, backing vocals) and Carlos Perón (tapes) in the late 1970s. Dieter Meier (vocals, lyrics), a millionaire industrialist and gambler, was brought in when the two founders realized that they needed a singer. The new band name, Yello, was chosen as a pun based on a statement made by Dieter Meier, "a yelled Hello" .Meier and Blank's first release was the 1979 single "I.T. Splash". The LP Solid Pleasure, featuring the hit dance single "Bostich", was released in November 1980. In 1983, Yello received substantial media attention with the release of "I Love You" and "Lost Again". Perón left the band in 1983 to start a solo career. With their 1983 album You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess, the band began a working relationship with Ernst Gamper, whose "corner cut" logo would represent them for three albums, and who would design covers for the group beyond the demise of this logo. In 2005, Yello re-released their early albums Solid Pleasure, Claro Que Si, You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess, Stella, One Second, and Flag, all with rare bonus tracks, as part of the Yello Remaster Series. A documentary on Yello, Electro Pop made in Switzerland, directed by Anka Schmid, was premiered at the Riff Raff cinema in Zürich in September 2005. Yello was commissioned to produce music for the launch of the Audi A5 at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007 and for the Audi A5 commercial in May 2007. Yello's sound is mainly characterized by unusual music samples, a heavy reliance on rhythm and Dieter Meier's dark voice. Boris Blank has taken a couple of vocal turns; on "Swing" (from You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess) and "Blazing Saddles" (from Flag), and guest vocalists have included Rush Winters (the first female diva to be featured on a Yello recording), Billy MacKenzie, Stina Nordenstam, Jade Davies and Shirley Bassey. The group has shared writing credit with MacKenzie and Winters. Yello rarely uses samples from previously released music; nearly every instrument has been sampled and engineered by Boris Blank, who over the years has built up an original sample library of over 100,000 named and categorized sounds. The music is composed by Boris Blank, who considers himself a perfectionist. When the tracks are mostly finished, Dieter Meier adds the vocal parts when fitting. Yello's music has been popular in the TV, advertisement and movie industries.

Yellow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no one left to catch my fall
There's voices running around my head tonight
There's voices running around my head tonight
You got just what you wanted
But you still wanna run away
So you'll just try again another day
Bad sleep, good dream
I know your scheme
Of disappearing with my blood stream
It's not that hard to figure out what happened
The lyrics of Yellow's "Voices" is a contemplation of turmoil and chaos that one goes through, which leads to their mental instability. The lines "I fall off into the sky, there's no one left to catch my fall" expresses the feeling of abandonment and loneliness that one feels when there is no one to put a stop to their plunge into madness. The repetition of the line "There's voices running around my head tonight" emphasizes the constant and intrusive thoughts that one deals with, which lead to a heightened sense of paranoia.
The next stanza "You got just what you wanted, but you still wanna run away" directly addresses the singer's state of mind, that even after achieving success, they are still not content and find reasons to flee. The following line "It won't take back what you started, so you'll just try again another day" indicates a realization that running away from problems is not a solution, and one must face them head-on to move forward. The line "Bad sleep, good dream, I know your scheme of disappearing with my blood stream" can be interpreted as a sense of loss and how sleep is not a solace, rather it's a moment where anxieties begin to surface.
In conclusion, "Voices" highlights the necessity of confronting and dealing with one's internal strife, rather than masking it with fleeting pleasures.

I would 1000% listen to his future songs/album. How he keeps the original song intact and still adds originality is impressive. He's the winner of this season, in my opinion.

I usually do not like covers of "Yellow", but this is terrific. He is very natural and easy with his singing. I hope he goes far. This needs more views.
Greg Cocchiaro
was thinking this too
cbordes1
His voice is absolutely perfect. The way he goes in and out of his falsetto and head voice so smoothly is incredible.
Nyx Quake
That deserved a standing ovation from everyone. His voice never ceases to stun me. What a beautiful soul.
My life is a joke
Devix sang this song so perfectly. I didn't hear any cracks in his voice. It was just in the right range for him. It sounded effortless. And most importantly, I felt every word he sang. Camila made the right choice because he was the winner of this battle for me.
Anthony Armento

Natalie Nunya
