Gang of Youths - 'The Deepest Sighs, the Frankest Shadows' (live for Like A Version)

[@mollyhobson8915]

That moment you first hear some ones voice and you realise your going to be listening to it for the rest of your life.

What an amazing comment. Never thought of anything like that before but so true

[@tarik567]

The hype is real. These guys are great. One of the best if not the best original of the year. Incredible.

[@liamlannen6739]

I agree and it's better than the studio version

[@genetenz]

[@nathanielpillar8012]

why must you specify whether the "hype" is real or not? I never hear/see people discussing fake hype...

[@TheAussiefrog]

Australian music is at such a high right now and Gang of Youths are fucking amazing. Big thanks to Ben and Liam for playing your part in driving it and being apart of my morning drive to work everyday just like Matt and Alex and Mif, J and The Dr before your all JJJ

[@kurtwilliams1460]

yes, if they're on the trip J they are good

This comment is still Relavent 2 years later. More than ever ‼ Australia must support our own acts, as they are rarely recognised elsewhere. Let us pay their wages! Not wait for the world too ❤

The greatest Aussie band out there right now. Saw them at the Hordern last week and they blew my mind. So much love for their beautiful lyrics and incredible energy!

I watch this every time I feel down or sad about life and then it instantly changes my mood. Amazing band!

School band played/sang this amazing song at my daughters high school graduation night last year. That's a whole lot of under 20's listening and loving your songs David. 😃

best song I've heard in the 18.6 years I've been around so far.

[@rockygraziano2339]

I just ran across this amazing voice today !!! Dang !!! I’m now a giant fan

[@freyamuldoon5220]

I feel like it’s a duty to listen to this song EVERU day or at least every week, it’s such a beautiful arrangement and how each word and each instrument is placed so delicately in the song so it all just mixes so perfectly, I don’t believe in shit being perfect but goddamn this song is the closest thing to perfect I’ve ever known. How does one come up with such gorgeous lyrics, with such a soothing yet rough voice, it’s a masterpiece.

[@maureenLochs]

YESSSS

triple j, this is a spectacular recording of a fantastic song. thanks for capturing and posting and doing their live version of this song justice for all to see!

About 4 weeks ago I was sick with influenza just laying like a zombie in bed watching rage until this song came on. I felt like this song gave me so much life and peace. 👍 Truly wonderful.

The Deepest Sighs and Frankest Shadows: There's a sky full of lights And none of them stars But each white, silvery flicker's A faithful reminder to us Of a weight that's in youth That makes a dick of us all If it happened today Then it's probably happened before In a crowd unfamiliar I just wanna touch a familiar face And make friends at the parties I've feared The likes of an age To be wanted with truth And make formidable love See light in myself That I see inside everyone else I know It's not a lacking of spine Nor of physical pulse It's just a feeling of distance Akin to a feeling of loss Of love in the youth Of my limited life That passed in a violent And ritual screwing inside And the years unfamiliar Are made of increasingly digital days And I am grieving the loss of myself With frightening malaise When there's weightless in youth And the sum of it's small Just stand in the darkness And laugh with your heel on its throat 'Cause not everything means something, honey So say the unsayable Say the most human of things And if everything is temporary I will bear the unbearable Terrible triteness of being Alone in my house Frozen in time But don't get me wrong now, honey I am trying There's a warmth in the eyes And a clearness of thought When the deepest of sighs And the frankest of shadows are gone We're pushing a stone Up a mountainous waste And the lines at the store Look like lines on a beautiful face See, I'm not so assured Nor unusually strong Or outstandingly brave I'm more just fumbling around in the dark For the bulk of my day When there's weight that's in youth And the sum of it's small I will stand in the darkness And laugh with my heel on its throat And not everything means something, honey So say the unsayable Say the most human of things And if everything is temporary I will bear the unbearable Terrible triteness of being Alone in my house Frozen away But don't get me wrong now, honey I'm okay Ah, cast me a line Ah honey, cast me a line Won't you fear me tonight? Goddamn, do you fear me tonight? Ah, pass me a light Ah honey, pass me a light Won't you feel me tonight? Goddamn do you feel me tonight? 'Cause not everything means something, honey So say the unsayable Say the most human of things If everything is temporary I will bear the unbearable Terrible triteness of being Source: Musixmatch
