Glass Animals - Youth (Official Video)

The boy probably represents youth and the pure, free spirit of being young. When you grow up, it's hard to find that spirit again. You have to search for it.

[@Abram-Delgado]

I'm imagining two characters going through through something like this. Adam and Athena were expecting a son. If his birth were to occur naturally then it kill him and his mother. Adam had an idea, have him be born in the Sanctum. A plane of existence much like their own, however they can't go back. Archangels, like Adam and Athena can. He was able to be born but it would be years or centuries that he would exist on Adara. I imagine Adam and Athena singing this song to their son while he becomes light. Becoming part of the moon in the Sanctum.

[@leotrombetta1783]

Wow.. I didn’t know my comment had any likes, and I happened to listen to this song yesterday while mourning my loss, and just noticed today that someone commented five days ago on this thread, and it brought the likes and comments to my attention.

Vocalist/guitarist Dave Bayley explained the story behind this song to Paste magazine: "The idea for this one came from a story someone told me once. They were telling me about their child, and something awful had happened to them. She was crying - but at the same time the memories that they had from that previous life made her so happy - so she was also smiling. That combination of emotions kind of made me feel like my heart was being ripped apart but also optimistic in a weird way. She had found a way to see happiness in this awful thing that had happened to her. That combination of emotions is what this song is getting at."

Honestly I don't understand songs in english right away (not a native speaker) but the feeling was there. My dad wasn't there for me, but it made me appreciate all the good things he did for me when he was there.. there's no happiness without pain, there's no white without black. :)

My dad passed away in 2012 and now he communicates to me sometimes through songs. If I ask him a question the next song I hear will have the answer. This year I had to start my life over completely and I have moved across the country away from a toxic person, and then I moved again from the next place I lived from another toxic person, all during the pandemic. I am also legally blind and otherwise disabled so I worried about how I would make it on my own after my losses and divorce. I don't know anybody here and I'm completely alone. This comes after 10 years of loss and change that started with his death. Anyway, When I asked him how could I ever have a life again he sent me this song. He always does. I have been told he is my spirit guide and I can tell when he's here. I love glass animals

I hope my son can find some type of solace or message in this song one day. We lost his mother my wife when she passed suddenly three months ago at 23 years young. He was only 2 years old and 7 months when it happened. It was a short time for him but so many happy memories. They spent every single hour of every single day together. We’re so lost and devasted without you, We love you Deja C Rodriguez

[@alivc2458]

This story is heart wrenching, its absolutely tragic to hear about the loss of a young beautiful life. I am actually 23 years old and to think that someone my age could be ripped away from this world is horrific. Unfortunately nature takes its course in unforeseen ways, but the bright side is although it feels like she's gone her soul isn't. I truly believe that she is there watching over you and your son each and everyday, trying to guide you down the right path in subtle ways. I know its not the same but she lives on, especially through your child and some day soon enough you will all be reunited again. I can only imagine the pain you must feel, but thankfully time will continue to heal your heart, you just have to be patient and allow the time to pass. Meanwhile if you need a person to listen, you can talk to me! I'm sending positive energy your way, I hope you can take some comfort in this ❤

I know no one cares about stuff like this but I just wanted to speak on the power of art because it’s beautiful. This video and this entire album has been a huge catalyst and help in me saving myself and my family. I was forcing my husband and 3 kids to live with my abusive parents so that I could try to make them love us before they died. All they did was hurt us more and instead of dealing with it I kept staying there and started doing pain pills. This video helped hit home how much I don’t need my parents and it made me never want to escape from my reality again. I hadn’t quite gotten to a stage of disgust, but I sure have done a lot of regrettable things. This album helps me have the strength to keep doing my best to learn to be better and to learn to be the best I can be for my kids. I don’t want to be held back by anything anymore and I don’t want to hold back my family. Thank you glass animal and crew:) your saving lives with this music

My friends and family all knew, they held me saying how much they loved me. Every memory I have of my daughter is in this song. My god I don’t think I’ve cried so hard in my life while singing.

From my perspective, I think it is about a single mother who worked endlessly to provide for her son the best she could, even if it meant bringing him to work and she had him taken away from her because she failed to provide an adequate life for him. Now she grieves the loss of him as she still works at the same diner endlessly.. unable to move forward.

returning to this song after graduating highschool and also a month before i turn 18. this song truly helped me through some of my hardest moments throughout my teenage years. i experienced trauma after trauma, had no friends, wanted to drop out of school but was still a straight a student. my childhood was picture perfect, my mother worked two jobs and my father raised me while being an alcoholic. when i was four, my family got ‘better’ until my preteen years, when i found glass animals. i’ve never been so musically touched by the art of music in the way that glass animals music has affected me. this song and many others from their discography have allowed me to relate, grieve, be a kid, smile, cry, and so much more. hope to revisit this song in years to come. ❤ -jay

@@firex.6273 yep. It's a sad decline for fifa. But at least there's something to enjoy. Although you could just go on Spotify or something. But you dont get the same vibe as hearing it in fifa soo

[@explosivedoggo128]

And phone numbers from fifa 20

[@explosivedoggo128]

I would literally dance on this song while I was playing fifa 17

[@suliahmed2907]

And now I Don’t Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)

[@phroggieauggie4100]

i am not afraid to admit i cry every time i listen to this song. It reminds me of my own mother and i wouldn't trade her for any other mom in the world

[@e.nataliareyeshdez.3557]

I love how it looks at 0:10, when both the video and the song syncronize. It looks so perfect

[@KingKamidereSama]

It seems like when she's looking for him he kind of goes away but when she's distracted she's missing out on seeing him. Youth itself kind of is like that. If you keep trying to chase after how your past used to be, it's just going to get further away. And if you try to push it away and forget about it, you miss the good things that it could've given to you. Our childhood dreams can't stay forever, but to just forget about them is kind of callous. She's also too invested in her job it seems to be able to be 'young again'. And, like most music videos, I don't think the lyrics have the match the meaning of the video perfectly.

[@vickst0892]

You're right Edward

[@Sip_Dhit]

I think in this case it's both, the video is an interpretation but yours could very well be another legitimate interpretation

[@Chalchiuitlyollotl]

It's as timeless as your nostalgia allows. Everything one day, and nothing, another

[@tatumsh9]

Their aesthetics for their albums are just phenomenal. I could listen to what they've put out so far for the rest of my life on repeat.

[@genimflash]

I always heard as if they were counting in the chorus since they used phonetically similar words. Even reading the lyrics I still hear it. Like: ONE, i want you TWO be happy THREE to run and dizzy on caffeine FOUR your friends that make you laugh And maybe you're just a little bit dappy FIVEEEEEEEEEE strangely enough i never heard the second fly as Five hahaha. But always felt as if the counting was symbolizing the priorities she wanted her child to have.

[@sanvi1294]

holy shit

[@dripaliousbatman]

i genuinely thought his was the lyrics before i listened more carefully

[@_Krazy47]

Yo… This is an awesome connection. Good thoughts but difficult to implement… I’ve always wondered the weird pronunciation to those words

[@promontorium]

I thought it was counting too, I'm positive it was done on purpose.

[@roshanfey]

this is how i used to hear the song as well :')

[@jessicadomladovac4702]

The boy is "Youth" itself. She had him, but lost him. While searching for him, he is long gone.

[@kidacrimson1204]

Exactly...it's sad. :(

[@GCGray]

Thanks for defining the deeper meaning, however I am still stressing over the fact that she's lost her child! :-O #Mothersworry

[@cesaraguirre4577]

So tell me then, how do you left youth at a young age? The lyrics start with the line "Boy, when I left you you were young".

[@larkysnake]

You can only leave your youth young. Youth is always young by definition.

[@EmmaDaOne]

This song makes me bawl my eyes out every time. My mom was an addict when I was growing up(she’s 10 years clean now) and she didn’t get the chance to raise me because of this and the line“I was gone but not my love” BREAKS ME EVERYTIME!!

[@anthonyrocha4360]

I like how the kid is walking around at dawn in the beginning, then it goes directly to the mom opening her eyes like she’s waking up from a dream (of him).

[@KS17-1]

Easily my favourite song ever since I first heard it on FIFA 17. Great game and great song.

[@wegypt9612]

This song makes me cry sometimes. Idk why, it just does.

[@Makeyouinfamous1]

Egypt Hubbard me too every time I get this huge wave of emotion

[@Instinctive82]

Same here he casually pours his soul out in his music and its so listenable but sometimes I'm sure your subconscious picks up on what he was putting into his words and singing and it just kinda shows up in you

[@justinhuffman6645]

Egypt Hubbard ... Agreed!!!!

[@shandianderson6796]

Me too its love and grief lyrically and haunting voice coupled with this heart wrenching video

[@ligialima6352]

Me too.

[@ivantyler2239]

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to listen to this song with dry eyes. My grandmother died when I was 14 quite suddenly, and throughout my childhood, she was my rock. My parents were never that great. They were toxic in many ways that I’m not going to go into depth about here, but I always loved going to her house. I loved helping her in her garden and running errands with her and doing crafts together and baking cookies with her. When she died, my entire world fell apart. It felt like a part of my soul was ripped out of me and I didn’t know how to react at the time. It’s been years now, and I’m 21 now, and I swear to god this song is her singing to me. These lyrics feel exactly like something she would say to me and every time I listen to this, it feels like she’s comforting me from beyond the grave. Thank you so much for releasing this beautiful work of art.

[@celestesanvicenteramirez2079]

I just can't get tired of thinking how beautifully directed is this video...

[@mahaqamerr]

It was so hard to find but here are the actor's names: Brock Brenner (the kid) Dorian Hampton Camila Ivera (the waitress) Pat Janssen Heidi Kaufman (The others are in life itself)

[@kaitoreader93]

I don't understand this video, but the music is beautiful and very pleasing to the ears.

[@albiss2843]

me neither

[@iouiebennett6867]

Kaito Reader93 I think it's about a mother that lost her son but his still there and makes noises to let her now his still there

[@kaitoreader93]

Louie Daily Hmm. Good Point.

[@LottieDeLuscious]

"The idea for this one came from a story someone told me once. They were telling me about their child, and something awful had happened to them. She was crying-but at the same time the memories that they had from that previous life made her so happy-so she was also smiling. That combination of emotions kind of made me feel like my heart was being ripped apart but also optimistic in a weird way. She had found a way to see happiness in this awful thing that had happened to her. That combination of emotions is what this song is getting at. Have a look at this character’s website, too."

[@kaitoreader93]

Chloe Aebersold Wow. What a sad story. I think I finally understand now. Thanks for opening my eyes.

[@nuetrina4866]

how to be a human being is a great album also the kids dancing is adorable

[@trashtavis9344]

my little brother literally danced like that... it was seriously the cutest thing

[@ScottNyce3]

The kid killed the dancing that's how your supposed to just vibe to glass animals

[@airnoiphongsavath3340]

This song hits me on another level

[@andrey7412]

Just some thoughts... This video makes me feel the song is about mother who grieves of her child. They're not together anymore by whatever reason could be. She's dressed in red and he is in pale blue t-shirt, that's important. When he dances under the red lights this could mean she's still with him in her thoughts and tries to take care of him. When she sits at the table looking into the camera she has pale blue cup on the table - this also could mean she's always thinking of him. The pale blue empty car as a symbol of the place in her heart left empty without her boy. Also pale blue sky when she's running out looking for him could mean that now he's everywhere around her. Didn't think the song is so sad until I saw this video.

[@sweetyface1975]

That makes this sad 😢

[@golfwang8084]

You got it pretty much completely correct ma dude

[@jennajudd4980]

There's actually a music video that comes before this called "Life Itself". This seems to be the second in a trilogy of music videos.

[@andrey7412]

Yes, thanks, I've spotted it a bit after. Great idea, telling one story through a series of music videos.

[@lemonyscabs]

Best song of the FIFA 17..

[@lennyfriedl2702]

This boy is absolutely adorable

[@cynicismpiee]

I can't imagine how my mom would cry if I ever sent her this song. I'm her second son, her first having been miscarried. Her entire life has been devoted to being a mother, and she has three surviving children, so this song would really hit her hard.

[@지성이최고입니다]

I'm rewatching this song in 2024, it's such a style. Now I feel alive again 🌹

[@burdy707]

this is the only song that’s given me goosebumps. a mixture of nostalgia from being younger and hearing this on FIFA 17 as well as a newfound appreciation for the beauty in this song.

It's helpful to put lyrics because I don't know what they are saying most of the time

[@KaiserFredVIII]

> Now your life is back to fun > But you see that's not for long I hear that as "back to front". Makes more sense than "back to fun".

[@jakefromsnakefarm8d541]

Théo yeah because the boy is dead.

[@KaiserFredVIII]

I don't get that vibe from the music at all, neither the lyrics nor the actualy melody. Makes much more sense as a very poor mum that gave up her son to another family so that it could get a better life.

[@bilbojesty]

@@KaiserFredVIII bro… there are so many layers to what this could mean and tweaking the meaning to that one idea limits these different perspectives.

The first time I heard the song, I thought that the line “Boy, I want you to be happy, free to run, get dizzy on caffeine” said “One, I want you. Two, be happy. Three, run and get dizzy on caffeine” as if they were counting what they wanted the boy to do
