Gang of Youths - What Can I Do If the Fire Goes Out?

[@Salocinist]

I've only heard two songs from these guys but god the Y E A R N I N G

[@linleyn3014]

Just wait till you're obsessed with em all🙃

[@evas5054]

That. That's the feeling I couldn't place

[@user-so7nd5zl2b]

Lmao dark academia reference

[@ceedy7857]

It's the drumming that gets me.............wow!

[@sixty-nine3574]

Gang of youths would be way more popular if they came out in early to mid 2000's

[@josephcorridon9314]

HOW ARE THESE GUYS NOT THE BIGGEST THING IN THE WORLD!?!

[@jasminelindley111]

SERUOUSLY!

[@HentendoGaming]

This song deserves WAY more attention. Easily my favourite song of 2017. Its just so beautiful, and happy, and sad at the same time. Amazing, can't wait to see you guys live again!

[@rickicoughlan]

I'm leaning towards "Let me down easy tonight" but yeah, this is awesome . . .

[@dnademon-ko1tk]

Same dude. You voting in the Triple J's Hottest 100? My #1 is Second hand car by Kim Churchill. hbu?

[@GodTierComments]

It goes for too long and it has unnecessary sections. I'm working on an edit and video that I'll be posting shortly.

[@jasperfrost907]

So tru has to be one of my fav songs ever. Still so in love with it no matter how many times I hear it.

[@HazzaBlast]

It proves your point when British radio stations are saying "the best new band from 2018".

[@IszyBelle]

As someone in 2020 this resounds so much more now, after the fires and the pandemic and so much death I really understand the loss of hope this song is portraying

[@addimachut5078]

[Verse 1] This is the sound of a soul in tune To a savage desire for a soul made new It's a savage desire for a soul untamed A definitive cry in the present age [Pre-Chorus] Do I throw my clothes in the fire? Do I throw my hopes in the fire? Do those things grow in the fire Or burn just to keep me complying? Can you still show me the way? Can you still show me a light? 'Cause I was only a kid when I fell and you tossed me aside, hey [Chorus] What can I do if the fire goes out? 'Cause I don't know if I can live without [Verse 2] I wanna taste and see if the Lord is good I wanna know if I'm heard and if I'm understood See the savage desire is some stupid thing Or if having desire is summoned deep within [Pre-Chorus] Do I throw my clothes in the fire? Do I throw my hopes in the fire? Do those things grow in the fire Or burn just to keep me alive? Can you still show me the way? Can you still show me a light? 'Cause I was only a kid when I fell and you left me behind, oh [Instrumental break] [Chorus] What can I do if the fire goes out? 'Cause I don't know if I can live without

[@Reliq3k]

Thanks you for posting the lyrics!

[@ikeradalbertofigueroadiaz5756]

I met this band in 2019, they were oppening a concert for Mumford & Sons. Since the first time I heard THIS particular song, it was a total hit to my brain

[@liam4295]

Just heard this song on rage, honestly amazing. It's one of those songs I'll just listen to on repeat in the middle of the night.

[@AzizSwanson]

I saw this live two nights ago. They killed it and totally blew the venue to pieces. So epic

[@maddhatter7769]

This song hit me right in the heart everytime I hear it. It's beautiful.

[@camilabarbosa5013]

I came here after NBT but I just descovery a beautiful and touching piece of art by yourself. Congrats BofY

[@mooselord4394]

Its a shame you aren't more popular.

[@nothingbutgianttrees1995]

Every once in a while I come across a song, that remembers me of her. It's normally a subtle feeling, from only a small passage. But this one hit deep. An all out attack on my heart.

[@Archeh3005]

My favourite song of all time by far.

[@imlazy77]

Struggles with my faith is why this song resonates with me so much.

[@3rzturbo697]

I play this song everyday, can't get enough of it. :)

[@goldenponyboy6793]

I feel like my fire went out and I think that I really can't live without it

[@Lost_snail-29]

My favourite song of theirs. Energy energy energy. LOVE it. In my top 10!

[@Mark-se7jf]

Man, these guys are going to be huge.

[@jonru14]

Beginning has an old Bloc Party vibe. This guys are awesome!

[@joerxlll9146]

Jon Ruiz Olazabal - not as good as Matt Chung but I get where your coming from

[@DV-zv4ox]

The whole song sounds like it could easily fit on silent alarm. Such a tune

[@jieksun]

the best song honestly, took me places I’ve never been before ❤️

[@Saboss17]

i'm here because of last night, saw them opening for Mumford and sons in Paris, great energy, great performance, epic band

[@iain9204]

Great band, live shows unbelievable they could be playing for 2 people or 20,000 rock it out. This was the final song, great one.

[@superbesperia]

The drums on this is blowing my head off, so hard to play 🤯🤯🤯🤯🥵

[@utkukaraca07]

this is the most brilliant song i've ever listened.

[@lucasmith1890]

[@shehannanayakkara4162]

Got 10th, shouldve been higher

[@rexcaruana5800]

[@katrinajardine3126]

[@carlyguppy2274]

they won album of the year at the arias?

[@joshmorgan4790]

fuck i love the drums in this!

[@ourempire1]

Spectacular. I get worried when I see the pop music these days as its shot to bits. But this is proof that real music really still exists.

[@tj40454]

JFC the riff is out of this world!

[@Jylart]

Those drums!!

[@davidedwards2270]

I found the band thru Achilles come down like most of you but this is my favorite song by them

[@rachieio]

I can't love this song enough. 🔥🔥

[@nitroptics]

I went into a surf shop a few hours ago and this was playing through the speakers, I never shazam'd a song so fast before aha loving that lead 🙌💯

[@bradpamp5699]

Finally, real stars, real music, they have arrived!

[@Floopiez]

[@steffaney2012]

[@mariliaalcantara5693]

Conor's performance was awesome.

[@kyanaddison6115]

Best song ever

[@christianvelezvelez8224]

This is the sound of a soul in tune To the selfish desire for a soul mate who It's a selfish desire for a soul untamed That definitive cry in the present age Do I throw my clothes in the fire? Do I throw my hopes in the fire? Do those things grow in the fire Or burn just to keep me compliant? Can you still show me a way? Can you still show me a life? 'Cause I was only a kid When I felt you tossed me aside, hey What can I do if the fire goes out? 'Cause I don't know if I can live without I want a taste to see if the Lord is good I want to know if I'm hurt and if I'm understood See if the selfish desire's some stupid thing Or if heaven desires something deep within Do I throw my clothes in the fire? Do I throw my hopes in the fire? Do those things grow in the fire Or burn just to keep me alive? Can you still show me a way? Can you still show me a life? 'Cause I was only a kid When I felt you left me behind, oh What can I do if the fire goes out? 'Cause I don't know if I can live without

[@Joey-vm2jk]

This song is so calming to me

[@thefamilycat86]

Magical song.

[@Luis-mg5kc]

Who discovered this band watching the NRL grand final?? I gotta say this song and band are Incredible

[@squeemchie7764]

i have a feeling this song is vaguely about the vestal virgins but i can’t be sure

[@AmyRadiance]

I can’t stop thinking about that now!

[@sharingleaf78]

I have discover this beautiful song

[@Persephxne]

Beautiful!❤️

[@margarethoertz5167]

I think his words mean more than you think they do more deep and are realize and that's a good thing for me

[@dmr74]

Beautiful.

[@margarethoertz5167]

I was left behind by my parents when I was 17 but then I begged them to take me back because I love my family and I didn't want to be alone it was wrong because they didn't know how to treat me right they didn't know what I meant by wanting to come back they at least took me somewhere else where they were not around and I made friends but those friends did not last and it's an ongoing thing to make a life for myself at 63

[@gamergril5940]

love it

[@margarethoertz5167]

Past the feelings of being discarded and towards the feeling of being what are you going to do when you see what it means to be discarded he is so true like me I see the truth and from what I said before the truth is that your truth is anchored in the soul of the parents that discarded you...elusive as where your mother is the day after she dies...

[@justuseubank9192]

What is this? Cuz I've found lately I associate every song with my mom who passed b4 I was ten

[@TheMattd86]

Dmas and these wow the Aussies have got the sounds

[@iMakeMediaNZ]

add sticky fingers to that list!

[@jojomojo5079]

Love It!😌

[@brianteo3996]

So glad I found this song

[@trickyauzzie3603]

fuckin yessssss. been serching my whole life for this 1 song

[@st3phleigh]

YES

[@davidvenkatanarasimharajuv7103]

Nice!

[@cheddarandsourcream]

Just discovered this amazing song, kind of sound like the love child of the killers and arcade fire. If you love the guitar in this song as much as I do check out Explosions in the Sky, First Breath After Coma a good place to start.

[@rubymilne6651]

YEP there is a reason why this hasn't gotten any thumbs down... it's a fucking great song. I have been a fan of Gang of Youths since the beginning and i am so proud of how far they have come. The second album is gonna be a ripper

[@Joot_Doctor]

Ruby Milne you never say that because someone always goes out to give a video a thumbs down if they see a comment like this.

[@destrupt2787]

yes yes yes

[@lukassigg6381]

Dont let it go out

[@troyowais2626]

Best smoko listening to this jam

[@joshgrimmett]

Jesus loves you bro I pray for you to find the truth your heart yearns for! ❤️❤️❤️

[@marja9130]

What can I say? I say *voisikohan olla ihanampaa biisiä* Tykkään isosti, kiitos

[@fresiaandrea6590]

Came here bc of Nothing but Thieves cover and now I'm so glad I did it

[@calnorman5370]

Nothing But Thieves raised this song to another level

[@tijanabanic8267]

Fire🔥🔥🔥

[@eltombre08]

Home! Let me go home! Home is wherever I'm with you! Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros Same melody

[@2blackman1]

Anybody know where that guitar tune is originally from? ahh its in the back of my head but I can't remember the songs name. All I remember is that one of the lyrics is a lady singing "home is where the heart is"

[@Patch.of.clover]

Hmm no clue. That line kinda makes me think of Heart of Nowhere by Noah and the Whale, which this band kinda gives the same vibe of but I don’t know.

[@poppyhildebrandt9888]

Rivers and roads has that line

[@BIGBodsta]

Why is this not getting the views it deserves!

[@NefariousPorpoise]

Maybe it's shit.

[@jimmytrevino2346]

a thousands thieves.

[@muscles80ful]

[@iiReflectionzZCoD]

540 Views on this is a crime, deserves so much more attention...

[@nomad1761]

Nope

[@samycfc3709]

ayyyy they support the mighty toffees as well

[@darcybrown3518]

Slapper

[@panoskalogeropoulos1453]

[@reborndiajack9612]

thanks to my oed teacher for this

[@abbiegilligan2062]

hi

[@zeemonkeyman1]

This song sounds identical to an older song from the last ten years but I can’t put my finger on it

[@BenBrawn]

Reminds me of some of Arcade Fire's works

[@zacmucklow1]

through the fire and the flames

[@emkidd4122]

It's got a bit of a Bloc Party feel to it

[@zeemonkeyman1]

I worked it out! It’s “When you were young” by The Killers

[@timmarshall2258]

EXACTLY!

[@andyandys5356]

NRL grand final brought me here

[@gaintrainwompa1133]

It sounds like an older song from another band. I just can't think of it.

[@ctom5912]

I feel like in the 80s or 90s this would have been very big. The band is verytalented. People just don't appreciate good music today sadly. They would rather listen to garbage than real musicians in 2018.

[@jamesstewart8258]

Like the altar of incense before the holy of holy‘s in the Jerusalem Temple, we are meant to smolder at all times. Flame burns bright, but it destroys the sweet smell of smoldering incense. Only the spirit can determine whether we burn or smolder. Your enemies may make you burn it as a martyr 1 time. The Holy Spirit would have you smolder every day of your life thru A prayerful existence.

[@donnapooler2856]

Can hear a tinge of The Killers.....?

[@Harmony277]

Does anyone get death note vibes whenever you hear the guitar 😂😂

[@coconutterssir2744]

got 10th on hottest 100, should've been #1 imo. anyway great song.

[@amandapartridge3246]

「アークジェク」すべての歴史のためのホモ 10 is good for them. They will take what comes

[@zacflash]

I throw my marshmallows on the fire

[@Stoneman180190]

I thought they couldn't top The Positions, but I was wrong.

[@ellamorrison6427]

22 dislikes......there shouldn't be any dislikes!!!

[@rse3946]

i loved this song till i knew it was about god, no disrespect to believers but i think this song has a truth in life beyond god to me. like your passion or drive is your fire, when you lose it can it be reignited and can you find more drive or purpose. when i was younger i was more temperamental but learned to be more accommodating. i think that to conform is a misktake and you should find people that see your fire and watch it grow.

[@emrachaelbell]

antixo - this has nothing to do with god. “It’s about empathy, finding humanness and trying to negotiate the sickness of soul as a millennial with no clue.” They have said in multiple interviews that this song is about trying to reignite your passion for something when you are lost.

[@rse3946]

fair enough, i just googled on fire and the result i got was when someone is going really good with the lord. glad to hear the song has aspects of what i thought it was about because it makes the song a lot more powerful to me and resonates with me also. thanks for the clarification.
