Even though the man with the shaker percussion instrument is simply doing his job by just shaking an instrument. The intensity and passion on his face just makes you feel the love he has for his craft. I think his expressions set the tone for the setting and song perfectly.
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
they sound amazing (of course) but what hits me every time is the background vocals + harmony (from the drummer, francois, i think?) - it's just so beautiful blended into sameer's voice. they all show so much passion for their music in live sessions, it's inspiring.
Sameer is incredibly talented. The whole bands is full of talents but damn if that voice doesn't separate them then Idk what else. That voice is just too damn good, especially live. :)
Once again, this is my song of the year. Perfect for calming me. Perfect for cheering me up. perfect for singing. Perfect for drowning out the arguments around my home. Perfect to loose myself in. I will never be able to thank Young The Giant enough for creating my safe place.
Ok seriously, I have been watching this video over and over since it came out. How it still only have 270k views is beyond me, this is infinitely better than the radio version of the song. His unedited voice is much better.
this is the first song and video ive seen of young the giant. i watched this about a year ago and it had right over 1000 views. YTG you boys are doing big things. This kind of raw talent deserves to be recognized.
I love YTG so much. Can't wait for their new album, I've already played the hell out of their current album the the Jakes ones. Saw them in concert and it was one of the best nights of my life, their music is just so unique and catchy, I never get tired. One of the only bands that can have a completly new take on their songs when they are played acoustic, I love listening to everything they do. These guys are going to make it big. Some of the best music in the world is being played here.
I still can't believe that my sister saw them, for free, at an Ugly Sweater Party back in 2007. The venue was someone's living room. And now, look where they are, a famous band. Amazing.
tiktok reminded me of the chokehold this song had on me but listening to the album version i thought this isn’t quite it and i came to yt and THIS this is the replayed and replayed version. i am transported. what an absolute bop
