Young The Giant: Amerika (Official Visualizer)

[@geetarbube]

I’m 50, having grown up with classic rock, new wave, and alternative music, and this is one of my favorite modern bands. Definitely the highlight of Firefly 2019.

[@Catherinewheel1995]

You are an year older than me.😁 And i grown up with the same music. And i have a lot of music list on YT. Have you heard of the band Madrugada? It's my music on this moment. Gr K. Vos The Netherlands.

[@damonandelin7617]

Same and same. 50 and one of my favorites

[@jakenorthrup2905]

"Are you mad because I don't know what you used me for?" That line gets to me. God damn it, I love Young the Giant.

[@addiej5497]

Jake Northrup Yeah but I don't get it

[@fluidthought42]

MrValienty It also reflects with his frustration with the the American dream, using him for profit without supporting him.

[@F1amisismatt1]

Jake Northrup it’s “I am mad because I don’t know what you used me for”. He’s not asking a question he’s saying that he’s mad for being used. 😁

[@KristenChangstahh]

Fuck yea!

[@jthweatt412]

* I am mad because I don't know what you used me for The song speaks to a feeling of abandonment in a harsh foreign world (Amerika). The singer knows he was merely a pawn in someone else's game, but he's too naive to understand how he was even played. He was manipulated at a time and place where he truly needed companionship :(

[@brookemichael5864]

This band is too underrated

[@alli_416]

+CFCninja omg me too

[@savannahmalo2216]

I AGREEEEEEE

[@shebokanno6123]

yasss bitches

[@classclown55210]

What I love about underrated alternative bands is that no one has no idea who you are talking about

[@carlamibzarrodriguezgil6927]

the clique is everywhere :')

[@jayp.2987]

I am not okay, this is beautiful

[@davidandrade2279]

Same

[@isabela2233]

One of the best song i ever heard. Masterpiece. No words

[@lilygleaton3731]

I found this band by accident but I don't regret it.

[@OdysseyZZGaming]

Do you mean by accident

[@lilygleaton3731]

OdysseyZZGaming Yea autocorrect

[@albertorodriguez7063]

me too....moved from L.A. to alaska.....heard them in an indie station here......damm big radio stations they don't play good music and suppress great indie bands..

[@JesusAriasB]

Yeah!! Me too

[@helenatrejo2374]

Yeah me too

[@justvoxity6252]

Is it me or do Fueled By Ramen always sign the best bands?

[@kateadkins2118]

I know! I was also thinking that!

[@ryanb8994]

twenty one pilots, P!atd, Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World, Paramore, and YTG. So,,,, definitely yes!

[@xy4856]

+Ryan B Vinyl theatre dude

[@santiagorenteria1851]

not all of them. Foster the people

[@holycabrol5860]

yes, they do. 👍

[@soratherunaway3783]

They've been one of my favorite bands for a while now (at least two years) and they still get me with their music every time. So amazing!!

[@angelbetancourt8733]

I can't stop playing the song over and over.

[@fernandawritesstories2701]

As the daughter of two immigrants I can relate to this so much. This sense of culture and community in a place that is foreign to you. This is amazing.

[@kayw1230]

Huh? America is the most diverse country in the world that has the most opportunity for non-whites than any other predominantly white country..

[@mdesmdes9224]

I have yet to hear a song by these guys that I haven't liked, they hit the mark every fuckin time! Stoked for this new album, such a kick ass band!

[@markhale6105]

do u still feel the same way?

[@anyacasey7517]

This song makes me so happy. I rode through a bus with 17 other teens in Costa Rica listening to this. It was only the 2nd day that we had all known each other, and I SWEAR this song is what brought some of us closer together. Thank you Young the Giant!!!!!!

[@LiIBrehBreh]

Young the giant is my favorite band of all time

[@thedimindrubytdr6758]

Same

[@KristenChangstahh]

Same here!!!!!

[@eyeofbass]

Holy smokes. Just listened to the song for the first time while reading the lyrics. How can it be this good? How can the story, the lyrics, and the melody all align this well when so many "songs" out there are meaningless gibberish? This is the definition of music. It's perfection.

[@ChibiKawaii3]

crap. I've only listened to two songs so far and I already feel an obsession forming

[@MaddieSmith]

That's YTG for ya! Welcome to the dark side!

[@yiyorock2438]

Vanice Icarus i saw them at el rey teather.in L.A....im impresed.

[@eyeofbass]

Vanice Icarus same thing happened to me. I recorded Artists Den (PBS), just out of routine, and here was this group that I had never heard of. They were performing at... El Rey. That's all it took. I was strangely and obsessively hooked. I caught them in Atlanta a few weeks back (drove a few hundred miles for that). They were awesome.

[@alecguarneri1265]

Same here!

[@chasitydorsett5196]

Just you wait...

[@chrisperez3232]

This song is so Beautiful, almost cried the first time hearing it.

[@glitteryblacksunny8888]

I immediately liked it, but when the drums came in I really liked it! Cool!

[@felpczar]

indeed

[@marissatrujillo487]

I saw them last night. It was definitely the best concert I have ever been to. It was 100x more amazing than I thought it was already going to be. So amazing.

[@leo9lady]

I've seen them twice now, they only get better every time or else I just fall in love with them more every time, lol! I will see them EVERY chance I get!

[@PandaChaos36]

How do you create something all of sudden that feels like your life was missing? is this love? I think I'm in love with this song. “Its all it really is.."

[@ruisilva3604]

First time I heard these guys was on the MTV acoustic set they played 6-7 years ago. I remember asking my wife to come and listen to the the amazingly crystal clear vocals (fast forward and no deterioration on the front). My wife's favorite band. Saw them live in CT a couple of years ago and have tickets to the D.C. show this coming November. Very good band indeed.

[@Meeech0]

Everything this band puts out is gold, saw them live in Hawaii and Sameer makes me melt

[@ewoenamey]

I can not wait for the in the open session of this

[@bijanadhikari7928]

This song just rips my heated heart out ,chills the fuck out of it and puts it back

[@horse5407]

That makes no sense

[@Maria99Maria99]

I didn't expect this video, but it's pretty cool :3

[@gabrielahuatzi4928]

[@anamorrow2364]

This is a deeply touching song. My brothers favorite and he is in Korea and I miss him so it reminds me of him.

[@skirk4123]

They make me feel like Coldplay did in the the early 2000s. Beautiful imagery

[@cza79]

This band is better than Coldplay imho

[@rurumadd]

@@cza79 Yeah have to agree on that

[@egoularteschroer9596]

Coldplay are a great band, but ytg are better.

[@aurelliusbhat6773]

[@TigerPrawn_]

Ok, well that was way too beautiful...

[@derekluna7226]

This song is so chill. Love these vibes!

[@Tylanjamison96]

If only Two Door Cinema Club would take a page from Young the Giant and M83's book, and just release something instead of teasing us.

[@mg7685]

One of the best songs.

[@thatssus3677]

It's my first to listen Young The Giant and I LOVE IT

[@cmathew86]

You're in for a treat then. Start with the first album and work your way forward. Also, check out in the open sessions by them. You'll see how talented they really are

[@thatssus3677]

+cmathew86 thank u i'll search!

[@cmathew86]

+Selen Nope You're welcome. The song that got me into them was “I Got” from In the Open sessions. Enjoy!

[@LastStopGaming]

listen to something to believe in by them

[@zane31415]

Lyvia Migliaccio first song I heard by them was apartment

[@prialeya_m3059]

I already loved fueled by ramen bc of Twenty øne pilots and P!ATD but NOW that i’ve found this well... i’m obsessed

[@deadstar21]

Underrated! I'm clutching to any available songs from this album. Need more now.

[@thesayin]

[@DawnHenke]

Same. Over and over.

[@XxECbass25xX]

Young The Giant never disappoints. Nothing but Gold.

[@danmaxwell8000]

Literally heard this two days ago on a date while I was driving home from watching Star Wars, one of the best nights of my life

[@arjayamba483]

[@ardillagrams]

Amerika is the best song of the entire album. God damn it, I just love it so badly.

[@michigan2974]

M. Brieff second best behind something to believe in

[@delimeat-]

M. Brieff it was a good album opener too.

[@anaritaazevedo139]

Sosososo good, I have no words. I won't die without meeting these guys. So precious.

[@alejandroalviarez7729]

Breathtaking. That's all that it really is.

[@Duchessjo44]

Oh my gosh....these guys just keep getting better and better. This is the best song I've ever heard by Young The Giant.....I cannot wait to hear the rest of the CD......

[@kenialeon-mora4255]

Ive been waiting two years for this!!

[@brantgreen3387]

2 door cinema club brought me here... thank you for that! Insane how good this is. Can't stop listening...

[@crystalpadayhag6970]

Glad to hear they've come back. Good concept too.

[@markwagoner4218]

59 years old, and this band is great! Going to see them in September. Can't wait!

[@sampaguitax]

I've had this on repeat for days now, and this is the best I could do in deciphering the lyrics. Can't wait till they publish them! And so I've arrived With gold in my eyes Are you paying attention? I was searching for something as I watched you run I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some Were you looking for someone as I watched you go? Are you mad because I don't know what you used me for? I've been looking for so long in America Throw my hands in the air Flash, fade in Say you care, but you don't You know I hate it It’s a rich kid game and they grow up with the throne It's all it really is I was searching for something as I watched you run I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some Were you looking for someone as I watched you go? Are you mad because I don't know what you used me for? Always talking about one day in America Same old story oh, you want glory son I've been looking for so long But you cut me out Throw my hands in the air cause I... Your parents All the friends, you, oh (owe?) So jealous But that rich kid pain, what it is to be alone It’s all it really is I was searching for something as I watched you run I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some Were you looking for someone as I watched you go? Are you mad because I don't know what you used me for? Always talking about one day in America Same old story oh, you want glory son In America, in America In America, in America In America, in America

[@tashanovak4382]

+sampaguitax : I KNEW it was "It's a rich kid game, and they grow up with the throne. That's all it really is." I thought that was a particularly poignant line. Thanks for hearing the same thing as I did! Ha ha. The video and song are both so moving and poignant. Gives me chills literally every time I hear / watch it.

[@dblackout1107]

First real band I ever went to see. What a great group.

[@superbanananinja]

Sameers voice is so beautiful

[@heybro104]

the video is awesome and moving.....so good to hear YTG's music and Sameer's voice, favorites forever

[@MrBeltethon]

I love this song. I just hate that I wanna sing along but, can't settle on the lyrics to it

And so I've arrived With gold in my eyes Are you paying attention?

[@cherrypie414]

Listen to island both recorded and the live version at 101.1 station. Oh and listen to mirrorball and firelight and camera. Oh oh and all their In The Open Sessions where they play all their songs in cool locations. Just listen to everything, you won't regret it.

[@Abdulmelodies]

love this band, happy to see new music by them

[@leiawen]

I work in immigration and this song is one of those that keeps me going on the hard days. I don't know how you did it, but you somehow captured a slice of the lives and stories we see in a song. We see a lot of happiness and a lot of sadness. Thanks for making it feel less lonely.

[@raypritchett6981]

[@Daniela-ny3pu]

[@Oscar-vs9xv]

Beautiful song! It really hit the soul when I first heard it at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. ✊🏼😩

[@Pointblank539]

You know I was looking for Amerika by Rammstein but I’m okay with this. What a nice happy accident to find this gem of a song.

[@thedravidiandon]

It's About Time YTG! :D

[@killadiego]

Young The Giant, you guys nerve cease to amaze me!

[@stepheniewilliams3933]

In a way this video is very political... I see it as a reminder that no matter where we originate from, we are more powerful when we come together. All the abstract flags in the video united together is a powerful reminder that we are all humans trying to work towards a better humanity. We need to forget the typological barriers created through categorizing ethnic background, religious beliefs, sexuality, gender etc. and realize that we all just want to live good lives in the end. We are all one, and that fact is too often forgotten in modern society. This is a beautiful song and video and I cannot wait for the new album! Young the Giant just keeps getting better and better

[@mytubeworldmayhem]

i was looking for a comment like this.

[@thereallife16]

So exciting, love the song, and the art in the video is amazing! Glad you guys are back, can't wait for the new album!!
