Yellow From Coldplay Sounds Even Better in a Pub in Switzerland

Great beer, cozy environment, and a musical experience I'll never forget

A magical place where good music, food, and beer create an experience I could only dream of. This is the story where I could watch a cover English band live in a pub in Switzerland.

If this is your first time reading one of my pieces, my name is Felipe Xavier and this is one more chapter of my collection about my unforgettable honeymoon trip.

I got married in 2019 and my wife and I decided to take a short Eurotrip. I've been telling all about it here in The Masterpiece pub.

Daylight

On our second day in the city of Zermatt, my wife decided we would go out dressed as bride and groom to take amazing photos through the city.

After this interesting adventure, we went back to our hotel to relax a little bit and take a bath, but we intended to go out later. We also ate because we found out that like every small town, life stops after 8 p.m.

While walking around town earlier we saw a sign talking about live music at a pub starting at 11 p.m. My wife and I are crazy about music so we could not miss this opportunity. This pub was a couple of blocks from our hotel so it was a date.

Paradise

We were so relaxed in our divine hotel room that the thought of not going crossed our minds, especially because it was a bit cold. It was close to the beginning of Winter so the temperature was already dropping. After talking about it for a while we decided to definitely go.

We got dressed and walked out on the street. A desert Zermatt stands in front of us. Nobody on the streets. We could see lots of lights inside other hotels close to ours where people were probably hanging out indoors. The street was ours.

This is an interesting topic about this moment. I live in Brazil and here is not as safe as one might wonder. I would never go out at 11 p.m. on foot on my own street without having all my mental alarms on. This was not the case in Zermatt. We were all alone but yet we had the feeling of being safe.

When we got to the pub everything was closed and dark. The sign about the concert was still there but it looked like nothing was happening. We started to wonder if they made a mistake or something. Suddenly we saw a little door on the corner where a bit of a blinking light was coming out. It was there.

In My Place

We walked into the pub through a revolving door and there it was. Magic all around it. A bunch of people enjoying themselves at the sound of good rock n' roll. I remember they were playing some rock version of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean.

The first thing we did was divide to conquer. My wife went to find a table and I went to get beer — only for me since she does not drink. When I sat down and had the first sip of that delicious beer it was one of the best feelings I have ever had.

The band Good Noise Inc was playing and they just got better and better but the pinnacle of the night was when they started to play the song Yellow, from Coldplay.

As I said before, my wife and I are music lovers and Coldplay is definitely one of our favorite bands ever. So when I realized where I was, who was by my side, and what was the soundtrack to that moment, my mind went to the state of so much joy that if I were a Buddhist I would say I had reached nirvana.

We didn't stay for the whole night, just until this band stops playing. When they left they would leave some DJ tracks on and this was not our vibe. We went back to the hotel so happy that I believe we took another bath to relax before going to bed, but this might be only my mind playing tricks on my amazing memories from that perfect night.

I don't have many good pictures from that night as I do on the other stories because it was dark inside the pub and we were so involved with the music that we forgot to take more pictures.

Thank you for reading.
