Of Mice & Men - YDG

Of Mice & Men's song "YDG" comes from their album 'Of Mice & Men'. Buy/stream at ofmiceandmen.l...
Won't be mistaken with the saints of youth,
God's backed up again.
I swear, when I scream,
we're not home again.
Run from your problems,
but you cannot run from yourself.
You'll take this back.
Broken I've lied,
pick up the pieces,
you'll try to live for yourself.
How can you live for yourself?
Live how you wish,
but live as if you'll die today.
I won't stop until I can reach you
And get this off my chest.
A sense of direction,
to lead you home again.
Mind your tongue
And save your breath for someone else.
You won't believe me,
we're not the same 'cause I dig
And I dig you too.
Conformed in writing,
I will fight for the sake of you.
I will fight for this.
Dream if you'll live forever,
Dream for me.
Broken down,
I've tried to pick up the pieces.
You lied.
You live for yourself.
Yourself.

[@BRNardy]

That chorus 💕 I'll always be listening to this classic, I miss this OM&M so much!

[@yuyu-tg3tl]

It's 2021, and Im still listening.

[@brandonbolton1599]

2022*

[@Sign-oi4oc]

How long have you been listening to this?

[@atlantafalconsaustralia]

Ferk yeh breh xP

[@WillVos]

2024

[@Sphelpsx]

this is like the only high screamer i like, all others just dont sound good to me, i prefer low brutal screams, but this guy, A++

[@iarias7028]

the metal world needs more guys like you (:

[@Sphelpsx]

haha, well thankyou

[@sethawesomeness05]

agreed

[@alexwilliams9189]

Have you heard of Thy art is Murder and their Infinite Death ep, the original vocalist had some sick highs or War from a Harlot's Mouth and their song Uptown Girl, Uptown Girl

[@maddisonsylvain6901]

Agree

[@whogavehimafork]

This album still has not disappointed me, I've just started listening to them a month or two ago, these guys are fucking great

[@snipes0009]

Yeah this is when his voice was incredible.. Too bad they sound like Creed now.

[@PYR0NinjaPXG]

snipes0009 SHOTS FIRED

[@diegonava7820]

Yea they're newer stuff is garbage

[@HartoSux666]

***** true

[@FoiledAgain7]

***** its not garbage its just not shay, and austins voice has changed slightly so he had to adapt

[@atlantafalconsaustralia]

Bruh I always think I’ll move on from this “phase” but I realise it’s not just a “phase” it’s WHO I AM AND WILL ALWAYS BE xD long live long fringes and getting crunk with your bffs

[@Gutsu]

Comparing this to the new 'YDG', honestly this one still is the best. Not only that but this is by far their best album. Hands down.

[@agoogleuser4859]

HANDS DOWN thank you! for real this album blows the others away.

[@4eyesover2]

It still blows my mind how many people don’t realize YDG = Ya dig. He literally says “cause I dig and I dig you too” right in the chorus

[@rescue2283]

One of the best choruses in the history of everything and anything.

[@matt-irby]

When I first heard this song, I thought YDG stood for "Young Dying Generation" then I looked it up and found it was stood for "Ya Dig" and then I was like oh well ok

[@HeyItsAshuriGameplay]

Same with OG Loko for me, I thought it would have a great, deep meaning, nope.

[@jamesstinebaker1290]

MisterFluffyHead its so damn hard ill make this last x'D Omg deepest meaning ever

[@tylermyrman4092]

What does OG Loko stand for?

[@kevinhodges7704]

Tyler Myrman the original Four Loko that actually had alcohol mixed with energy drink instead of juice

[@lanncraster5372]

the glory days....

[@phillakai321]

1:35 gets me everytime ;)

[@BartlettPinstriping]

This entire album will never disappoint..

[@bonitarvmirxz2835]

I randomly thought of this song ..can’t believe I was 14 walking to the bus everyday listening to this. 😭

[@DevinMarkovichMetal]

Life flies, my friend... its almost sickening. I remember feeling invincible at that age. Now I'm almost 26. Fuckin sucks. I cannot even emphasize how much youth is wasted on the youth. It sounds cliche but so true.

[@atlantafalconsaustralia]

Bruh I’m still walking to the bus to this xD

[@jasminewafa31]

I’ll be coming back to this album forever lol

[@atlantafalconsaustralia]

You and me both baby xD

[@TezalaOfficial]

I second that

[@chuxley143]

OMG! I love them sooooo much it's not even funny. Usually people are like, you listen to that kind of music? I'm like duh! Who doesn't?

[@somewhatgaming1281]

Yea srsly soms ppl dont get the musical genius and talent put into this kind of music

[@anthonyandrews6705]

Same lmaoo love from Memphis

[@rballard2730]

I adore this album - it’s immense.

[@carminegloomysundayhunter6889]

2023 still listening

[@marcovenenosa3661]

Those first two albums my God!

[@VaporGuey]

Listening back to these classic tracks, Shaylee was super present. :)

[@Seralious]

0:59 - 1:13 Holy shit, that's the most badass thing I think I've ever heard in a while.

[@WrestlingCovers]

Damn.. Just finished listening to "Cold World", now going back to this.. WOW..

[@Austin3]

well this is their best album and it's just gone downhill since the flood

[@plumpykong]

I just did the same lol

[@amalgamousgoat6217]

To be fair, they couldn't keep the old sound. Austin's condition gives him quite a few limitations

[@RingsofCaturn]

Yo, I know it's an old comment, but check out Forever YDG'n off the new album, you won't be disappointed .

[@Sseverr]

To me it's nothing like YDG and Still YDG'n :\

[@chelseasarah8621]

clean vocals and breakdowns are amazing .

[@laurenvance9151]

Oh god this brings back memories.

[@randomness1577]

Memories of my metalcore phase

[@MireilleAntone]

0:17 - 0:22 I SWEAR WITH ICE CREAM #MisheardLyrics

[@kirarobson841]

god, now I can't unhear it.

[@mangojuulpod.8648]

+Mireille Antone yeahhhhhhhhhh

[@DJustin210]

it's I swear when I scream!

[@MireilleAntone]

DJustin210 I know that. I wrote the misheard lyrics, or what it sounds like to some people,

[@lucascerbasi4518]

lol

[@OliiMayFire]

I totally agree…every chorus….they're just too good!

[@laurentdupont-gagnon7889]

that chorus slap more than my drunk step dad!

[@jbug71]

:(

[@Openmindallthetime143]

Cheers big ears

[@Sauniks]

Still one of the GOATs

[@tylerklingbeil]

2:48 is the best part

[@leslie.hoenig]

This still slaps.

[@Radi0activet0ast]

I SWEAR WITH ICE CREAM!!!!!1

[@rvsalki]

i thought i was the only one who thought he said that hahahaha

[@tatertaterto]

Reggae Shark I just played a game of CSGO with you (Im George W. Kush)

[@chokeonwasabi]

This type of music will always put a smile in my heart.

[@lucasgrosso4795]

2014 and I still love this album!!!

[@Sphelpsx]

right here with ya on that!

[@deetyclone7105]

I can dig this in 2015 dude forreal

[@internettrash9160]

Jamming in 2017

[@madjack9469]

2022!

[@TSTEMP9]

2013

[@CallMeKichael]

Yes. One of my favorite songs on the album.

[@alexwilliams9189]

Their best album

[@dracon7474]

2024 and still YDG'n!

[@McSauceTheDrummer]

years later and still a great song!

[@MonkeyDLuffy-nv6cx]

That last lick towards the end will never get old 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@CrowwreakStevenson]

I love how all the video pics from this album have Jerry Roush even though he didn't sing on a single one of their songs

[@ChlamydiaIntensifies]

well. he did one song while he was in OMM, but it was a cover. :L

[@spacialrevenant7591]

He was in charge of the band while Austin was having heart problems in the hospital tho

[@lilcutiepie11234]

this is my absolute favorite album by Of Mice and Men

[@charmosity6872]

R.I.P. to the good OM&M .

[@cranjmcball447]

nah they're even better now

[@charmosity6872]

How could you say such a thing

[@masoxdd]

+Charmosity I'd say they're still just as good but different style

[@willcoRed]

+Charmosity Let's play spot the fake fan!

[@fxcrimmy1638]

+Charmosity agreed. They are kinda shit now.. Lost their heavier touch, pussified Xd along with BMTH, MIW, and AskingA lol

[@necster2]

Cant believe its been 7 years since i first heard this.... time runs so fast, thats insane

[@ninocappuccino2343]

Here after reading the news of Austin leaving OM&M. Who's making a listening marathon with me? From the early years until the end

[@wessones9056]

Nino Cappucchino this is not the end, the band plans to continue. I'm not sure if they are getting a new vocalist or just making Pauley the lead vocalist

[@ninocappuccino2343]

Wes Sones i know that's not the end for the group but it is for Austin as a part of OM&M. I'm glad they continue making music since it'd have been really sad if they'd split up because of Austin departure.

[@wessones9056]

Nino Cappucchino I think they are going to change completely now. I'm pretty sure the only reason Cold World had any screaming at all was bc of Austin but now that he's gone they will probably just become a rock band with no screaming. I'd love it if they got heavier but I will support them regardless

[@ninocappuccino2343]

Wes Sones i continue to support them either way. If rock is what they want to do then fine, go for it. It's been a while since the first record and I guess the music influence and style you like changes while you get older and grow personally.

[@wessones9056]

Nino Cappucchino agreed, I'm actually just now getting into the first and second albums lol I only started liking them around Restoring Force's release

[@patrickstar6247]

They will never top this album!!! Such Gold!!

[@safecampdee]

The comparison between the newest album versus this one....goddamn. completely different. I'm still a huge fan though.

[@amalgamousgoat6217]

See guys? THIS is how you point out the change in sound, instead of bitching like children about how they didn't do what YOU wanted them to.

[@touyaism7860]

RahmiThing Goat literally

[@bl33zy52]

god this album hasnt aged A DAY, sooo good still

[@raydog_97]

This song is in Drop C# for anybody who plays guitar or bass.

[@zacharywilliams3631]

This song means so much to me.

[@indieindie9842]

classic❤❤❤

[@garyjones3961]

I love this whole CD.. rocks

[@gerryaguayo]

Definitely OM&Ms best album! The best screaming song to me out of all the albums will have to be The Depths, and best cleans would have to be My Understandings.

[@XPlosiveFilmsInc]

Hell yes I dig.

[@KayLa-vf9tu]

when they were still good rip

[@jordanmuzeroll9762]

Honestly

[@shanebunton8581]

+Kay La Lol they're still good

[@htx_asmodeus]

+Shane Bunton lol no they're not lol

[@htx_asmodeus]

K then id rather listen to upon a burning body than the new om&m. And love you boo boo XD

[@joshuawhitley5819]

+Alex Morales I'm fine with them growing up and maturing, but they can do it without flipping genres.

[@82Circa]

one of the best band out there!!!

[@jakelaframboise6173]

This and The Flood are my top two. Restoring force was alright

[@JuanPablo-cu1oy]

The Flood was the best, this comes in as second, Restoring Force (Sadly) last :/ still enjoyable... but just... isn't the same *Sigh*

[@iarias7028]

jose diaz completely agree :(

[@TheIntenseLime]

Really? I liked Restoring Force the most. I just liked the overall sound of it.

[@joeydrummer7929]

Trippin this is the best album they ever made and one of the greatest albums in metalcore history

[@justinhall8201]

More than human .must be . will be. You Rock

[@boithefirst9271]

Big difference from this album and Cold World. I don't care if they change I still love them the same ❤ I love every genre in music honestly lol

[@intermediate212]

the...ending...is ....so....ORGASMIC!!!!!!!

[@natalienieto7034]

I miss this

[@Pockits]

I know I'm seeing them, Bring Me The Horizon, and Issues. But Bring Me, and Of Mice & Men have changed so much. I just hope they play something off of this album.

[@natalienieto7034]

I doubt it man, it's just not the same. Tell me if they do

[@scarletsnow1893]

I saw them along with Volumes and The Amity Affliction, the only song from this album that they played was Second and Sebring. They were great live, though!!

[@steatlthyfolf]

That guitar at the end, awesome!

[@ilovedrums1000]

Nobody's giving credit for what the drummer does at the end with the china cymbal. So technical

[@ilovedrums1000]

+Noah Habermaas 2:54

[@willcoRed]

+Muj Sidiqee It sounds amazing yeah, but don't sugar coat it. Simple half skipped beat or whatever.

[@ilovedrums1000]

Cody Hardy the beauty about it is that you wouldn't notice it unless you were looking for it. The other of course is being a drummer and having good ears.

[@willcoRed]

+Muj Sidiqee Yeah, maybe. I often wonder how I'd feel about some bands and how much content I wouldn't notice if I weren't a musician. ^^

[@ilovedrums1000]

Cody Hardy hahaha I often wonder how bad my taste in music would be if I weren't one as well! I swear learning an instrument changed my perception of music so much

[@dljdljdljdljdlj]

Mind your tongue Savior, pray for someone else..

[@jessiebeaver2875]

I dig

[@Soupmeupscotty]

I love this song with my heart and soul

[@tonyxslam]

Is it bad that I listen to brutal death metal and slam and yet I still like this....?

[@heresmikey4186]

I think me n u are the only rare metalheads I'm a really huge Thrash fan I grew up with Thrash but I still like some metalcore

[@robertspear226]

I'mm a metalhead xD

[@danielnealroberts6324]

no, because I'm the same way lol

[@robertspear226]

Shepherd SAMMME

[@neubatron600]

same.

[@CallMeKichael]

Trust me, so do I. lol Shayley gave me some of the best advice of my life: "Everything good happens for a bad reason, but nothing bad happens without good ones." Literally a week before they released his departure. lol Shayley has the best voice in this genre by far, but I'd rather have that voice than have him suffer through depression constantly. Hopefully he sorts out his life. Even if he decides not to jump back into Of Mice & Men, least he was phenomenal while he was in the band.

[@megachaosblast126]

2:15 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII WIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLL FIIIIIIIIGGGGHHT FOOOOOOOOOOOOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Bsoupful]

This song just buttered my toast this morning.

[@trillsammy1096]

came here after listening to their new shit that they've released.

[@entediadoaff7692]

Lembro o dia em que o álbum saiu e ouvi pela primeira vez que saudade q nostalgia dessa era do metalcore imagina pra quem viveu na pais lá

[@mauvnoelful]

2:03. Wait a minute something's wrong with the picture and the vocals I can't figure it out but it strange.

[@chrisford1518]

From 2:07 -2:40is usually going in my head just screaming 😂😂😂😂 "i will fight for you sake of you"

[@caseybowers9832]

Listening in 2018😎 FUCK they new stuff. Austin is what made this band.

[@retrocny5625]

I played this album OUT when this was new. Like every day in the car, since I was doing a job that required a lot of commuting back & forth delivering auto parts to dealerships. Awesome album and some of my favorite clean vocals in this genre at the time, still are actually.

[@moria2021]

Best album, The Flood bores me and Restoring Force sounds like radio rock, in my opinion

[@moon_light404]

commonxwealth i get Restoring Force but The Flood, really? I have never heard one single person that says that The Flood is “boring”

[@Rawfatal]

The breakdown for this song is amazing.

[@wilson0213]

They went downhill after this album, but I'm not hating, it's just simply very hard to improve from such a good album

[@tristananvilcaster]

No o.o... The Flood was kickass, and I liked Restoring Force. They actually improved meaningfully and sound production, plus matured as a band

[@xXWinter720Xx]

The Flood was great. Not a bad song on OM&M or The Flood, imo. I can't get into Restoring Force that much though..

[@sashaandrews5444]

NOOOO the Flood is amazing and their new one Restoring Force is too

[@flesruoYkcuFoGuoY]

Restoring Force is when and where they died. Shayley took all the genius with him to Dayshell.

[@jackoo666]

this is the first song I ever heard from them, and IMO still their best song

[@mcriero]

definitely better than their new album. i mean i love Aaron's voice but dude. i get goosebumps from Shayley's voice. and i think austin's screams are better on this album well ok it's just my opinion i still fucking love them :)

[@MasonLovesBoobies]

Of Mice & Men, YDG'N since 2009.

[@danilahache6172]

Woah. Why do i hear people saying black veil brides is bad music... I like black veil brides and of mice and men! So cry me a river, build a bridge, AND GET OVER IT. Gooossshhh people. And learn how to spell... .-.

[@HalaMadrid0226]

such an amazing song, still jam to it

[@magical_unicorn1187]

WHY THE FU*K ARE YOU DISLIKING THIS?! WHY ARE YOU HERE IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS TYPE OF MUSIC, HUH?!

[@ChilisauLP]

To discover something new and see if you like it?

[@magical_unicorn1187]

ChiliLP But if you don't, there's no reason to spread hate on it.

[@ChilisauLP]

Magical_Unicorn Disliking something is not hating it. There's a big difference between those two.

[@magical_unicorn1187]

I agree. I honestly was just fangirling. I'm not that bothered by it.

[@magical_unicorn1187]

ChiliLP ^

[@iamalexbent]

2:55 has got to be one of the coolest drum parts I've ever heard. Period!

[@sebakkdrowner2701]

Why does everyband only have great music in their early days, wanted to listen to their old stuff after listening to their newer shit..............

[@amalgamousgoat6217]

They were pretty much forced into the sound change by Austin's medical condition. If you don't know or don't care about that, don't go and complain like they just up and said fuck you to their fans or something.

[@xtracheezycheezit9394]

RahmiThing what exactly is Austin's condition? I'm just now getting in to OM&M so a little clarification would help.

[@amalgamousgoat6217]

William Lemon I believe it's called Marfan Syndrome. I'd probably mess up if I tried to explain it, so it'd be best if you looked it up instead.

[@nessachae9305]

DamnI haven't heard this song since high school... why did I ever stop listening to them

[@alyssadoesmakeup4873]

Am I the only girl who listens to these?

[@gon7563]

This band is really fan girly you're not the only one lol

[@sashaandrews5444]

Uhm lol no

[@thatbrit2005]

***** a very stupid question haha

[@iarias7028]

uhhhhh..check social networking sites. female fans of om&m overrun male fans, from what ive seen

[@blakeparthenay3049]

This is still my favorite album from these guys. The vocals are just savage! The other albums just cant compare in that department.

[@jodiesamanthaxo]

where is austin in this video omg new fans are gonna think the lead vocalist is whoever that is

[@yryry93]

my favorite band of all time

[@christopherseddon3273]

Austin left 😢

[@Ozzy432_]

WON'T BE MISTAKEN FOR ANOTHER LOVE SONG

[@Gripps3434]

Run from your problems! But you cannot run from The South!

[@neilfletcher4520]

Soild song, unbelievable

[@Ananhedonian]

Still listening after all these years, the only band from the genre I still like.

[@lawyerxsinxdarkky]

Thank you! nobody ever notices!

[@nayemarquez8719]
