Young the Giant - Firelight (In The Open)

[@lucaskamal8094]

This is what happens when you combine raw talent, meaningful lyrics and beautiful music.

[@unknownff1316]

Raw talent??? Hahaha kid

[@patricktimberman1100]

Ya know I’ve been trying all this time and I didn’t think of trying any of those. Good looks

[@arushigupta4235]

Seven years later, and this is still gold.

[@Jessssssssica]

9 years strong.

[@xJacquelineBx]

ive heard this song a million times but the melody still gets me thinking "this is the most beautiful thing ive ever heard" every single time

[@grandmastersmyth]

Same

[@floridahippyman1984]

That’s what I was thinking today lol

[@andreabellini6796]

You aren’t wrong

[@soccerbaby7710]

No one is the music industry right now can match Sameers vocals, he is just on another level. I am proud to be a fan of this band.

[@StephenGoodrickJr92]

Look up Fairweather band...the dude sounds just like him

[@carlossaucedo9739]

This comment still aplies in 2020.

[@rafaelcbm]

Caleb Followill

[@jacobhensley8614]

Sameer is amazing but I think Conor Mason is undeniably the best right now. And shoutout Joe for the amazing lyrics too;)

[@metroact2117]

When he sings, "Lay down by the firelight" I swear it almost makes me nauseous from the way it touches my soul.

[@beccataylor2589]

Music makes you want to keep living

[@tanya.2365]

I remember listening to this song at their concert and just looking up at the stars. Everything was okay and peaceful for a moment in time.

[@ashlilopez13]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@andreabellini6796]

Their music honestly makes my life better

[@Brentmovson]

In the open acoustics! Bring them back guys!!! LONG time fan. I watched you guys when there were only 50 people in the crowd in the bay area!!!

[@casslowry6225]

I used to listen to this every night to help me fall asleep when my anxiety was at my worst

[@dawncase8575]

I'm sorry, I understand. I think I did too. I've always dealt with it.

[@gabrielleseok9445]

When Francois, Eric, and Sameer harmonize together, it's sounds like the world just falls into place.

[@jayvintus7498]

That's superposition😎

[@Amethys12]

I agree wholeheartedly

[@TejaSathi]

How do they DO that? It's mesmerizing.

[@itsizziman]

...this is the only band that can relax me and just make me feel happy about life!

[@DamonRennaker]

Look up the Maine!

[@Nino244]

His voice is so calming and at the same time it's tearing my heart apart.

[@xJacquelineBx]

Nienke Timmermans wow yes you're right!

[@linahorn6483]

Couldn’t have described the feeling any other way

[@shannamagdalene6695]

My 14 month old son has LOVED this song since he was about 6 months old. From the first time he heard the first few notes of the song, his eyes got very big and his ears pricked up and it’s the only tune that will calm him other than my singing when he’s upset. Thank you, Young the Giant for your awesome music!

[@christianspringer2433]

The pure intimacy of this song and the way they perform leaves me with goosebumps.

[@jeanamillis3078]

There’s no way ever that I could get sick of listening to these in the open sessions 🥰🥰🥰

[@christinel.4827]

Gives me the chills... Makes me cry... Such beauty in its simplicity. What more can I say?

[@bocofsa]

Yeah, just simple and perfect

[@sharonfieldstone]

I've played this three times already, in succession. So beautiful.

[@hezaz4991]

crying so hard now, remind me of my dad who passed away year ago and not having a chance to say goodbye ;'( anyway beautiful lyric and song!

[@javierestebanmora5724]

I feel like I were walking in the forest then starts rain and the drops fall into my forehead as I lie down to see the sky. So emotionalllll

[@chrisakersmusic]

One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I've heard. I listen and watch as shades of years gone by wash over me in waves.

[@elleinadamoako]

Why are they not more popular!? They're so amazingly awesome at what they do

[@VinylCollectorJames]

just so gorgeous. I have no words

[@heavengallegos826]

I love how all the sounds come together perfectly.... like music from heaven

[@benscofield8689]

I love these stripped down versions. They seem so much more personal.

[@christiwilliams8457]

Not just the best songs on "Mind Over Matter," but one of the best rock songs ever, just imho.

[@otherperspectives1901]

All ❤. The only thing keeping me sane in this lockdown is this band. Oh I am grateful for this music

[@DomenicPetrino]

Without a doubt the best band in the world at the moment, with the best voice.

[@endalanefarm]

This was on my tv, which I had fallen asleep in front of, and it woke me. I was so grateful to have the ability to back it up and hear all of it awake.

[@catramax]

This is one of the most amazing performances ive ever seen by the way

[@IvannaAvina]

is there anything more beautiful than this

[@doreenr7450]

art exhibit

[@wensoto3507]

I love all the comments here, the fans of young the giant are just goldddddd, I'm in love of all this community full of kindness and support to the band

[@vtecIntegra88]

literally rediscovering inspiration for music with these guys. so much love for this.

[@eddieperez6929]

me and you man, me and you!

[@jabaloubusa4561]

Am i the only one still listening to this in 2015 and still getting the chills

[@jaynine4813]

+Jabalou busa I'm waiting for them to do Camera in the open. I need it. Haha.

[@joeInterpol20]

+Jabalou busa fr

[@MsMinecraftLife]

+Jabalou busa I honestly think these guys have the best music in their genre, and they have made a hippy path in everyone hearts. If you think of the meanings of these songs it makes you love life about 100x better.

[@teri5719]

+Jabalou busa i love them :'''''(

[@eddieperez6929]

naych

[@lafemmerun]

this is the most beautiful thing i've seen or heard in a while

[@Gvcp117]

This is the best song i've heard in a while

[@SwanginSpurs]

Sameer's combination of feeling and control in this performance is stunning

[@guido3321]

totally amazing version of this song. Sameer nailed it, what a voice

[@Paulogy]

I don't know what else you need to see to know Young the Giant is the real deal :-)

[@cciara19]

This is a very compelling performance, I was genuinely taken somewhere else when listening. When it ended I just let the silence ring out and had to lay here for a moment. Every sound these guys fabricate fits together like some kind of audible inter-cosmic puzzle. With artistry like this you all deserve much happiness/well wishes/adoration! Thank you for putting this out into the world

[@ashlilopez13]

❤❤❤

[@yesickamata1905]

I'm in tears again.

[@catramax]

Francois thoooooo. His voice is rarely heard but I can just tell it's beautiful. Wonder if he'll ever feature more than usual in a song

[@BUcKeyEsAtOHioSt]

Listen to Waves by YTG live. Francois' backup vocals in the chorus are stellar.

[@ashlilopez13]

Amerika

[@26reinventlove]

Does anyone else think Firelight sounds like the prequel to Islands? Like he runs away to be with this girl, but then in the end she doesn't wait for him.

[@LINX29X92]

Saw them last summer in Chicago, fireworks were going off felt like I was in some hippie love trip but with out the lsd lol was pretty eargasmic performance though

[@gogogoode]

my goodness, that voice is heavenly

[@michaelpatterson738]

Seeing them Aug 24 - San Diego with my favorite girl in the whole wide world, (my daughter).......BBB seats....should be fabulous.....really love these songs from In The Open

[@KristiEnigl]

This songs gives me chills every time and especially played acoustically....

[@isabellvasconcellos]

You have to put the In the open sessions on spotify!!!!!!!

[@TheProsaicCult]

No you're not. This song is breathtaking in it's beauty. These guys are like magic.

[@landsharkofdoom]

I mean... This is so good it makes me dislike other things I normally like.

[@pproferes]

Their simplicity is utterly COMPLEX

[@ManjitGrewal1989]

Your voice sends chills down my spine. What an incredible song!

[@cubworld]

LOVE this band!

[@CFL0]

his vocals, ugh his vocals... but the guitar companion too, I watched this like bored in the beginning and suddenly I was hooked, and felt it.

[@q.c.key7044]

Love these guys, they are a blessing to the world

[@CarolsVideos]

I love their slower stuff... Typhoon is one of my favorite songs and this one is pretty high up there too. It's so relaxing and his voice is so smooth.

[@CeruleanAnthracite]

What about Islands?

[@williamritson4871]

These guys are on another level. They're all really, really talented. Quite rare to see a band in which every single member truly carries their weight. Beautiful, beautiful music.

[@myvalley109]

I think this is one of the best videos I've even seen/heard. Breathtaking! I won't die happy till I see them live

[@vilAvain]

one of my all time favorite song....

[@matthuber6270]

̶ ̶C̶r̶o̶s̶s̶m̶y̶h̶e̶a̶r̶t̶ ̶ I want you to know that I've been seeing your comments everywhere I go. Found you on a miniature tigers video a few days ago.

[@Tehutli]

One of the very few songs that transport you to somewhere you didn't know existed. Think about how many songs do just that.. not many.

[@dannyjameson1980]

Doesn't get much better than this, musically or lyrically.

[@anthonylalli3186]

The chemistry in this band. They're fucking amazing man.

[@traderhoe]

i come back to this video once or twice a year and it always feels like i’m hearing it for the first time

[@redflare100]

Payam is an amazing bassist. His bass lines are incredibly artistic and catchy; Especially on the track "Your Side". I'd have to say he's one of my favorite bassists. :)

[@RedeemedRose1]

my favorite on the album :D

[@arrow3079]

You know a band has extremely good songs when they can take everything they need to perform outside, and have it sound pretty much the same and have the same quality vocals and instrument sound. Every one of their songs is a masterpiece

[@PrincessIgna]

There is a peace in my soul.

[@taylormarberry6402]

This gave me goosebumps. Incredible.

[@maryglenndraper8753]

I have listened to this band almost everyday for 2 years and not once have I gotten sick of any of their songs!! they are PHENOMENAL!!!!

[@MeganLarabee]

Cannot WAIT to see them again this fall at ACL. Such an under-appreciated band! These In The Open videos prove just how talented they all are.

[@megustacantar310]

that was beautiful. when sameer and francois started singing together... ugh so amazing! buying mind over matter NOW

[@aimeeanastacio3579]

this brings about peace and comfort to me

[@SuperCableDawg]

Tell my son....my son has no't spoken to me for 17 years. I don't have much time left. I'll have them play this at my funeral...maybe he will hear it and understand I still love him.

[@hillarymekoyo4487]

In the open sessions are just the best

[@bettywoodhouse9876]

There aren't any words good enough to describe the brilliance of this...

[@Spashaei]

this song is so beautiful

[@ClissyRose]

jacob's guitar skills are mighty fine!!! aww cute little payam

[@paramoreluver677]

Insanely beautiful this band never ceases to amaze me

[@TheSupaKman]

If beautiful could be defined in a song, it would be this song. I feel so calm listening to this. It's such a wonderful feeling.

[@Captainsphotography]

Can't get over how beautiful this song is... very moving, and a treasured piece of music that has helped me cope with my big sisters death. RIP Andrea

[@lourdesmartinez1305]

Música , sonido , voz relajante , sencillez , humildad , perfecto !!! Felicidades , bendiciones , hermoso grupo , bendiciones a sus familias .

[@Glexkk]

I just want to say that this is a good song and it sounds so good ,they are one of the most bands that actually feel and try to understand the meaning of the songs...

[@kalinamiletic]

firelight is my favourite song from the album and this is just perfect. this song is a dream and sameer's voice is amazing, i love you guys!

[@danielcontreras3154]

What a song

[@milenanord6298]

I'm crying. You guys, I just can't even. I love you Young the Giant

[@pproferes]

sorry for the multiple comments, but you know how it feels when music is so good and well done that it hurts. This is an example

[@datspookywitch]

I’m in LOVE with them all

[@kelseydimi3163]

they're literally perfection

[@unlimitedbunnies3481]

This is the loveliest thing I've ever heard.

[@jazzt6860]

I won’t ever stop crying when I hear this song. So beautiful.

[@ianhart6247]

The acoustics in this place are awesome

[@majlife9460]

Love it! Can't wait to see you guys live in Dallas on Feb 14th!

[@todaysrules6730]

Talent. Love this band. I was a teen in the 80s, so most of the bands/singers I love, are retired, and some, passed away. YTG, has caught renewed my love of music in the concert setting. I was at UCSD Friday 9th 2019 to see them. It was what I expected, and more. I feel honored. Saw them at Redrock in June also.

[@jamilcharles9159]

They are so beautiful

[@Kiwii216]

breathtakingly beautiful!!

[@peytonhanserd2024]

After 5+ years of this song being in my playlists, I can say it helps me get through lots. Just pulling out a guitar and shittily recreating it somewhat makes me remember to never take a moment for granted. “Lay down by the firelight, For all I know it is the last time”

[@gelliferdschannel]

YTG's songs are the soundtrack to my life

[@13jkjkjk]

this band and this song are beautiful

[@ashlilopez13]

This song literally makes me feel like I'm in a dreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmm 💚

[@A2L124]

fave song of YTG....truly transcending!

[@roch93]

Instruments (guitarists) are amazing at helping to create the atmosphere for the song, whether it's upbeat or calm and haunting like this
