Sylvan Esso - Die Young [OFFICIAL] 

For me, this song is how I feel about myself and my son. I’ve struggled with depression and suicide for a very long time. I unexpectedly became pregnant and my son is special needs and I know I have to stay alive for him. 🖤

I was a heavy metal guy when I was young. Black Sabbath's "Die Young" was an anthem especially as I was a committed motor biker at the time. Never thought I'd see 30. Happily I've achieved 63 and loving Sylvan Esso. :;)

That moment when "I was going to die young. Now I gotta wait for you, honey" is a heartfelt message you yourself. The song takes on a whole new meaning.

"I was gonna die young, but now I gotta wait for Johann" So great when one of your favourite bands writes a song about you

Sylvan - Thank you for being the woman I needed to see growing up. As a 33 year old woman, you have moved me to tears with your art, bravery, confidence, grace, poise, could go on and on but the point is your impact is so very real. Thank you from my heart to yours.

Met my wife right before this song dropped and we went to see them live. It’s like part of our soundtrack.

I had it all planned out before you met me Was gonna leave early, so swiftly Maybe in a fire or crash off a ravine People would weep, "How tragic, so early" I was gonna die young Now I gotta wait for you, honey Now I gotta wait for you, honey Now I gotta wait for you, honey I was a firecracker, baby, with something to prove Now I gotta contend with the living blues I could've missed it, I never knew Chain reaction but you're holding the fuse I was gonna die young Now I gotta wait for you, honey Now I gotta wait for you, honey Now I gotta wait for you, honey Oh, I don't mind I got the fire Electric light So high, so wild It's not like I chose Not like I tried But now I gotta wait around and watch you burn so bright I was gonna die I had…

I seriously CAN NOT WAIT for this album to come out!! The video is amazing! You two are amazing! Amelia I love the faces you make in this video!!! Both of you are such good actors too!! AHHH my favorite band! !

I know I am pretty fuckin late, I was a huge fan of Britney Murphy, watching the doc on hbo bought me here ….this song to me will always make me think of her now 😞….also happy to have found a new talented artist in you sylvan 🙌🏿

Her voice gives me cold chills ❤️

This song is me everytime I buy a new houseplant

My soul is a gymnast performing back flips of joy... Cannot wait for this offering to drop!

That synth melody is soooo sick. It's like an oldschool NES Metroid-era game or something.

Hello everyone! There is something called a “foreshortened future”, a term that describes what happens when a person endures trauma to the point where they feel an inability to develop thoughts about their future. Instead, they grow so accustomed to surviving on a moment-by-moment basis, that the “future” begins to *feel* like a big, loud lie. They often expect to be sent off like a beautiful, loud firework. This was a belief system I carried until several months ago. I never thought I’d grow old, or be with another person, because of how “challenging” my experiences were. I found my person, she truly loves me, and together we’re building a big, bright future. I’ve been a fan of Sylvan Esso since their single radio premier, and just caught the last show of their tour the other night from the front of the pit. I danced with a room of heartbroken strangers and felt my bones shake with the bass. I watched pain turn into life with strobing lights and an incense stick up on stage. Thank you for everything, Amelia and Nick. You carried me throughout so much of adulthood. I’ll be forever grateful.

Literally one of the best newer artists today. See them live, really great show. They sound better live then even the recordings!

At first I was a little hesitant to this song just because Radio and Kick Jump Twist are absolute masterpieces. Sylvan Esso went above and beyond my expectations. I'm absolutely blown away! I can't wait to hear the rest of the album!

Two years ago I discovered this song and fell in love, only to have a friend of mine of almost my entire life commit suicide soon thereafter for reasons I will never know. The meaning and feeling of this song changed significantly for me after that, but not in a depressing kind of way. I feel like it's almost a tribute to my dear friend who I miss so much. I put it on repeat every now and then to think about him and what could have been. Miss you. Xo

The lyrics to this are weirdly, morbidly romantic

I'm gonna die young if this album isn't released soon

Just got my tickets to see you in Charlotte!!!!! I'm dancing in my chair at work!!

The Hermit Tarot sent me!!!

They keep making my new favorite song.

so delicious & dark, these 2 deserve acclaim & a devoted following for.their powerful combo of the.voice & the technical. perfection SE

Every song I've heard off this album is so damn solid. Sylvan Esso has fast joined the list of my favorite bands.

Absolutely so much love. My whole year is made and knowing the new album is coming out makes all the other nasty shit happening right now worth fighting.

This music is exactly what we need. Keep on moving forward! Inspiration 💞

so ready for the album. Sylvan Esso is the one of the only bands that I love every song of. I keep repeating this song

Only 34 likes and one of my favorite songs with an entirely fantastically produced music video. How much more does anyone need to do to make it in the music industry? This song is indelible and I will never forget it. Seriously one of my standalone, favorite songs ever and, I'm so grateful I came across it. Fabulous work.

Some songs are just awesome. This is one of them

As someone who spent their entire teens and 20s trying to “flame out” as gloriously as possible in a cavalcade of booze and drugs, I feel like this song should be my anthem now that I’m pushing 40 (oh, and I should probably add that I’ve been sober FOR YEARS).😊

Don't you burn so .. This song has just haunted me for the last 6 months. I love it. A complete classic in my book ✨💕💕

Love these two!!!! They create such unique beautiful stuff!

You both are so good together! you do great work! can't wait for more and hope to see you in France once

I ALWAYS come back to this song! It's so good! Sylvan Esso never lets me down :)

Hell yes!! Sylvan Esso delivers again! (Side note: That lady does not fuck about when it's lipstick time.)

I don't know what to say about this song. It´s perfect! Love it!!!!!!!

I WAS gonna die young! and I'm so glad I gotta wait for her... can't get enough of this song.

i am so glad i found Sylvan Esso

Love it! So ready to hear the new album and SO excited to see you guys in NC in May.

That synth is perfection! Love these guys

Good stuff! Can't wait to hear/see the rest of the album/story

Absolutely in love already

I've had this song on repeat for a week now and I honestly can't get enough. The lyrics, the beat, everything is so catchy! 👍👍👍

My partner confessed to me he had a plan to take his own life until he met me. The world would have been so robbed of his beautiful energy. This song is my love song to him

So connected with this message!

My all time favorite song.

I just found this artist yesterday and this song got me hooked! I now have her on repeat 24/7... She is aaaammmaazing!

The Fault In Our Stars vibe is strong in this one.

Heard some radio host mention her now I am in love. Thank you 104.5 😍

can't wait for this album

everything about this music video is practically perfect. the vocals, the vintage feel, the camera work, the electronic elements. i can see you rising greatly in popularity soon

This is amazing! The sound and the lyrics and just everything about this

just the lyrics alone are so moving and romantic... then you add the music and its all too much ! The song is perfection, but I can't help but want someone to remix it with a huge beat drop on the chorus.

so glad esso is on the trending page 👌👌 loved hskt and sleepy bruises

Mimi... congratulations. It's simply beautiful... video and audio. So proud!

This song is literally perfection! Amazingggg

love these two.... didn't think they could keep the pure quality up... gg still savage af with even more dynamic sound and vocals... so gold...

My new favorite song! 😍😍

Absolutely love your work, and especially this song. Infectious music and lyrics that stay with a person long after the track ends.

my life has been noticeably improved by the existence of this song & video this album's gonna be killer

This is gonna slap in my 90s

The more I listen to this song, the more I interpret it as a someone finding reason to live in their newborn child.

A powerful sound ! Greatings from Switzerland

Great melody, irresistible! love that part where the bass drops into an echo of the melody. Brilliant. Absolutely gorgeous girl with wonderful voice and acting

2019 still love this.

her music gives me life

I saw ODESZA at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Baltimore, MD last night. I had no idea who you guys were. But I’m glad I went early, your performance was pure bliss and you have a new fan. This song was the highlight of my evening. Thank you

Someone else listening to this on 2020?🤭

Good Stuff. I look forward to the album!

I know I don’t fit the fan base, but when I heard Coffee years ago. I fell in love with this bands vibe, so many songs live in my head now.

EPIC!! My friends and I LOVE YOU and waking up to new Sylvan Esso music this morning made today the BEST DAY EVER! Come back to Chicago #superfan!

The perfect love song. I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THIS NEW ALBUM AND IT DROPPED ON MY 21ST BDAY HOW PERFECT THANK U THANK U SYLVAN ESSO!!!

Christ this is really good

I never know what these songs are talking about but the sounds are very satisfying

There is nothing better than this. Love it, y'all!

Its gonna be a hit! Love it!!!!!!!!!

I just discovered this artist when I was watching some of NPR's tiny desk concert's tonight and found out a new video was release 13 hours earlier. Fun little bit of synchronicity, there.

Finally some good music from the 21st century.

This is the most amazing song. I feel it to the core.

I feel ashamed that I have just heard about her today. She is beyond freaking amazing. Her voice gives me the chill

i love it 💙

Great job guys

How is this group not internationally known yet? I have been a fan for three years now. Love all the way From Nigeria.

Absolutely brilliant

A friend of mine sent this to me as she knows I'm at raging alcoholic. A friend of ours died in a freak skate accident with a whole future and so much potential in front of her. This song hits on so many levels. RIP Lizbeth

I am dying young, believe me reaching old age is such an amazing gift I'd do anything for. Then again the song is oddly beautiful. If you have something, someone, somewhere, or even some hobby or even freaking routine or park to take long walks to, you should appreciate it. I used to be happy, appreciative, and a researcher and published author, but almost the moment I found out I had stage 4 cancer, ppl start to leave (well, at least when they realize your cancer is untreatable), opportunities and any financial stability you may have had, leave almost automatically and try to make it sound like "common sense" you're already dead in their eyes. My cancer is metastatic breast that spread thru my bones and now is quickly taking over my lungs. Oh and I'm actually bullied by sooo many older women who (are at least currently in remission," bc apparently they can't believe such a "young, pretty girl" would be so ungrateful...after all, when they were the age they think I am (they all think even tho I've repeated stated .in my 30s I'm in my 20s, oddly) they didn't get upset over pain, lack of resources, fear of never reaching milestones I deeply care ab, the (isn't buy sure feels like it) fact I'll never not only not get married or have kids (which I sincerely wanted, no questionimg for me) it will never happen no matter what. I used to be "popular" and had so many (clearly Fairweather bc all but 2 are completely out of my life by their choice so quickly I was swiftly taken by surprise and only one of the 2 actually will try to do things I like or say ANYTHING remotely kind to me. I'll be dead by the end of this yr (if oncologist is right, plus tests show its spreading quicker than ever for me). Ppl don't really care an those who die young unless they are kids. Sorry, this song just stirred something up for me. The longer I "live" the less of ME seems like it was me. Three straight years w not a single good (or even decent day) besides one specific beautiful week my mom is not enough to live for tho, not when ppl had 3 years to do something, ANYTHING, ANYTHING at all I mattered or should have a kind of celebration of my life. I'm always alone unless I'm at the hospital or putting myself out there to volunteer or join a club or Hobbit with others (I have plenty I do alone honestly). I'd do anything (as long as nonviolent) to have ppl (any ppl, any amount, as Long as they are authentic I don't care if I've only known them 2 days) to show me they care...like, at all ab my life/me in the time where I absolutely need pplmore than ever before but yet it's the first time these 3 yrs I've actually been lonely, completely devoid of any opportunities when I used to be such a smart, through, and genuinely interested and determined to be the best at all I could be (and tbh typically was) but ppl avt like cancer in my bones and lungs is the same as if my entire brain were riddled with cancer. Apparently NO ONE likes a young, healthy-looking (previously, but have no chance of being again), extremely well-informed (sadly, the more videos by BC patients I see, the more I realize "research to them is one page from the National Cancer Institute that hasn't been updated in 4 years. That is not research. That is not knowledge. That is virtue signalling pretending to be valid and even life saving" pseudotruths presented as facts that actually often misinform or are "best guesses." I wish ppl actually cared (even just a bit) ab young adults with cancer. I will be dead by the end of 2021 (likely, my oncologist seriously are more often wrong than right about anything and OMG if I could live somewhere wiith intelligent (kind would be nice too but I can easy get over that if I get to get better...or he'll make it to my 40th birthday. But I have had to accept I won't. I REALLY REALLY REAL wish I could die with dignity or a friend besides my mom and 5 yr old neice. But tbh I'll prob die home alone and only be found if I miss enough doc appointments, since ya know, I'd be too dead to go. But oh well. I literally can't come up w anything worth living for besides my neice anymore for maybe 1.5 years (the other things turned out only harming me or my fam, or the absolute love for life, connection, and creation, but how can feel ab it life if it ends w you far below the poverty line, with ZERO friends that don't live over an 8 he drive away fr you, my left hand recently stopped functioning completely, but hurts do bad ,24/7 I consider just chopping it off and go to the hospital to finish the amputation. If you know someone sick or dying, please just be there for them (at least). I'd give anything (well if I had anything at this point) to have anyone at all just create music or videos w me (I do have a RU-vid channel and would be fine collaborating over the internet, tho in person would make me feel human again...and I going to miss that until and through the day I die. I have to make up for these 3 yrs this year, or I really prob am worthless. God, I wish sooo much being the "living" me, or even something somewhat like it 🧡💛💜💚

This song is fantastic. I can't get the chorus riff out of my head.

they are awesome! cant wait to see them in oakland

From someone who usually hates all new music and loves 50s-80s music this is actually pretty good!

This is glorious

goodness, I keep getting overly excited for your new stuff! sad you won't tour anywhere near me, would have loved seeing the new album live!

They are just amazing!

Reminds me of Dance Yourself Clean(LCD Soundsystem)

I listen to this and coffee only like 10 times a day each 🤣❤ I LOVE THEM.

Cool. They’re great. I listen to “Sound” often and sometimes on loop for hours Lol. It’s like a sad lullaby but really fascinating and ethereal harmony in a simple way. Love it 👍

cant wait for the album!

Of the 792 views so far... 10 are mine.
