Young the Giant - Cough Syrup (In The Open) 

do you ever listen to a song, and just for those 4 minutes, everything feels ok? cos this song does that to me...

These "in the open" sessions are quite breath taking. Thank you

2:16. Absolute harmony, perfect feeling. The world is fine at that moment.

watching this still almost 10 years later its so beautiful

i will forever love this song

This song helps me get through a lot

I love this song. Sameer sounds great in these outdoor clips. Love the band.

Close your eyes and turn this up LOUD, relax, lay down even, if it's nice outside go outside, grab friend who has good music taste and just breathe in through your nose and out of your mouth and let it play for 4min 19sec so you can experience how beautiful this is ugh

They're so underrated It makes me sad

I watch this at twilight, when the air is clear and sweet like maple syrup and the sun is still burning low on the horizon and everything glows like a vintage photo album. Beautiful.

get chills from every in the open video.. how can this not make you feel better

They sound just as good live as they do in the studio. That is the true sign of a great band!

I remember when they were the Jakes but I love the transition to Young The Giant. A lot people don't know this band was made in 2004 however the lead singer had left.

What I like about this band is that they tell stories and messages in there songs I really love that bravo

this song always makes me smile no matter how bad my day is going

This song is so timeless

One of the best compositions of the decade IMO.

they have such pure and beautiful music

Can never get tired of this song, first heard it in 2013, and have recently been listening to it at least 20 times everyday for the past week.

Just when I thought I couldn't love them any more, I stumbled across these in the open sessions. Brilliant!

Just an incredible performance, words cannot do it justice. So glad I discovered this band.

(drummer) "OMG HOW MANY MORE OF THESE DAMN "IN THE OPEN SESSIONS" I WANNA PLAY MY DRUMS!"

Lord I’ve been listening to this band forever .... since 2011 probably I’m 18 now they’ll always transport me to a beautiful nostalgic place 💕

Music sound and emotion. Kind of sad but true as we all go through this at various times in our lives. For me, things got a little better.

I heard this song on Glee and I fell in love with lyrics. Since that episode I'm a big fan of this band. And this just makes me think and relax. I love this band.

i feel like these open sessions is their music in the purest form

goodness, his voice is SO BEAUTIFUL

Y'all are awesome love the words to your songs. Please pray for world peace. ♡♡♡

they're so talented and good looking! too much amazing-ness in one group...

this was the first song I ever heard done by them ....it touches me every time, helped me through some times , absolutely love it ❤

Words cannot describe how much I love this song.

Every time I hear this song I cry a little because it's just so beautiful. This is truly my favorite song in existence, thank you for your art please never stop creating

this song never fails to make me happy. I could listen to it for the rest of my life and it would still feel as incredible as the first listen.

254 so great

These guys are especially amazing when performing under environments most bands wouldn't want.

Take a piece of my soul with your song...

This band understands me. Been listening to it since 2011 Still great

Congratulations!! You stand a chance to be a part of history and people will remember you 500years down for liking this song WAY before glee. I wish you all the best and hope you make history.

9 years later and this song is still magical

this is the first song I've heard from them

Ohhhhh so much love. When bands do acoustic versions of their songs it really gives me joy, because it's kinda what I do when I cover songs, only it's them and that makes it much more real and cool.

Much Love for this song!

one of the few songs that gives me chills.

So beautiful

What trash was I listening to in 2011 while i couldve been listening to this.. a good 7 years ago

There are no words to express how much I love this. So incredible.

love, love, love this song and your band. thanks for such wonderful music.

Great song

His voice... dear god.

I love this song

This band is just gorgeous

The bass line of this song (especially this version) makes me so happy I want to cry

this video sends shivers down my spine. they are so good lyrically.

Awwwwwwwwwww Sameer

2020 and still in love of this song

Whenever I listen to YTG, especially anything acoustic they've done, I just close my eyes and appreciate it because everything sounds so perfect together and Sameer's voice just blows my mind.

i love the waves in the background

I like this so much better than the studio version, glad they did this!

His voice is so amazing.

Sometimes music like this is all that keeps my going.

there music takes me to paradise...wait they are paradise.

Once again, you guys blow me away with your real talent.

Wow, everything about this video is just beautiful. The location, the cinematography, and his voice..........just breathtaking.

Beautiful music

So beautiful.

best song in the world.

This song makes me tear up omg I love it

so beautiful. i cant even

soooo in love with this song.

Life's too short to even care at all oh I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh oh oh oh oh A wet world aches for a beat of a drum, oh If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away To some fortune that I, I should have found by now I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down Life's too short to even care at all oh I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue oh These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart oh oh oh oh A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away To some fortune that I, I should have found by now And so I run to the things they said could restore me Restore life the way it should be I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down Life's too short to even care at all oh I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away To some fortune that I, I should have found by now And so I run to the things they said could restore me Restore life the way it should be I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa
