For the past 10 or so years i have kept coming back to this song. I don't think i would ever forget it. There is something about it, something otherworldly.
I will never have the accurate words to express how this melody and lyrics make me feel nor where it takes me… it’s unexplained. A dream. And these guys nail it every time. In all their songs. All. To Sameer and Band, I’ve been listening to you guys since the first day. Young The Giant is and will always be my favorite Band EVER. A million times, thank you. 🙏🏽🥹♥️✨
This song demonstrates a haunting level of restraint. You can tell there is so much emotion behind the lyrics, but Sameer keeps his delivery airtight. And the melancholy of him crooning at the end is enough to give me chills.
I find the restraint mentioned to be for one, representation of repressed desire and emotion, especially to his love ('I thought you knew that I'd be coming", "I could never hold you"), but also, more importantly, the gentle vocals help allow the song to not just be heard as a song, but also as a poem, which is evidenced by the beautiful lyrics rich in metaphor :)
Fun fact, Sameer was a creative writing major so that is why their songs have very deep and unique meanings. I love them so much and if you've never seen them live you should go to one, you will not be disappointed.
13 years of this song, and it still does exactly what I need it to.. eases the suffering, makes me feel when I can no longer, many long nights, many long drives stuck on this song. Forever grateful for this album ❤
I don't really listen to Indie music, this was a recommended song by a friend of mine. It was a song on repeat for me two years ago. After 2 years, the melody of this song has been stuck in my head. I couldn't remember the name of the song, or the name of this band. Only the melody, not even any whole lyrics. I searched for 5 minutes, here it is. I almost cried when I found it.
Five days Underwater Near your island Off the coast I know Five ways You were my lover Incantation Off the tide In rhyme Oh, what if the whole world finds you waiting Oh, as it can so long now have Oh, I thought you knew that I'd be coming The way you move, a foreign groove, at night I could never I could never hold you Watch it rise and where you hide your pearl Feel the tide low where you cast those stones you wear When no one's home, do they feel cold on your bones All the years I miss your warmth Have you missed my warmth? On your island
i've been in a long distance relationship for five years. thinking of all the time we have spent worlds apart. souls intertwined. drifting through the ether. longing to be home. the heartache we're force to endure until we reunite. the way you move, a foreign groove. I could never hold you. have you missed my warmth? i feel this on a spiritual level
I would listen to this while driving to Auburn Washington and Everett looking at the evergreen surroundings with the fog, made me feel so… alive like if enhanced my existence
I remember the first time I listen to this song, I was in lov with someone that did not love me, I remember this song taking me, taking me a place I can only define by tranquility, I feelt floating in the ocean, I felt so huged by this... Damn, that was a long time ago.
The calendar has just flipped to 2023 and I’m still completely haunted by this song. The part you mentioned might be one of the most beautiful few seconds of music I’ve ever heard. Just perfect.
I reamemebr back in 2013 or around then forget what year of highschoo my english teach whonwas also pur theatre teacher gave us a soundtrack project which he did with other assignments where we relate the a song to a real life event or writing and write about its relevancy to said track and why. I chose this track for the book the great gatsby, because there is line about him whishing he could through his love interest up to rest upon a cliud and just look uoon it or whatever. Me relating it to a fading ungraspable thing. One of my favorite YTG songs

okay i swear im not crazy but there is a 2nd version of this song that i had downloaded on google play music (which has since been deleted so i cant even give you proof😭) that i loved so much even more than this one but it wasnt a live version it was another studio version and i cannot find it ANYWHERE does anyone know what im talking about??? sameer sung it more in his chest voice rather than his head voice and there were longer spaces between each phrase.. it was so hard hitting I loved it
This is one of those songs that feels exactly as it was meant to. It takes you far away, to another world.

He was a human biology major Pre-med.

This takes me to another place. Listened to it a hundred times on loop

John Eli sho does my friend, sho does.
All the years I've missed your warmth
I miss you old friend ❤️

I can never believe four minutes pass when listening to this song.
Yeah exactly, four minutes just slip by before I have a chance to even realize it.
Yes! This happened to me just now! I had to recheck if it really was 4 min.
Same !! I was really shocked the first time I listened it
It was and it still too short for me😂
3 years late but I had the same thought.
I swear I just realized that before looking at this comment. Love this song. (Hits blunt)😏
Five days
Underwater
Near your island
Off the coast
I know
Five ways
You were my lover
Incantation
Off the tide
In rhyme
Oh, what if the whole world finds you waiting
Oh, as it can so long now have
Oh, I thought you knew that I'd be coming
The way you move, a foreign groove, at night
I could never
I could never hold you
Watch it rise and where you hide your pearl
Feel the tide low where you cast those stones you wear
When no one's home, do they feel cold on your bones
All the years I miss your warmth
Have you missed my warmth?
On your island
Oh, out in the glow I'll find you waiting*
Oh, has it been so long now, ahhh*
Oh, has it been so long now, I...*
Juliana Sauvé r
Last three lines kind of fills up my eyes.
i've been in a long distance relationship for five years.
thinking of all the time we have spent worlds apart.
souls intertwined. drifting through the ether. longing to be home.
the heartache we're force to endure until we reunite.
the way you move, a foreign groove.
I could never hold you. have you missed my warmth?
i feel this on a spiritual level
I would listen to this while driving to Auburn Washington and Everett looking at the evergreen surroundings with the fog, made me feel so… alive like if enhanced my existence
"Under water..." feels. I have them. Also chills, I have those too.
Its such a simple song yet it takes you somewhere...
He was in no rush singing this song... reminiscent of holding the woman he was thinking of as he wrote it..
I remember the first time I listen to this song, I was in lov with someone that did not love me, I remember this song taking me, taking me a place I can only define by tranquility, I feelt floating in the ocean, I felt so huged by this... Damn, that was a long time ago.
I wish this song was forever long
Man I was about to cry at my desk... It seemed so quick I'm like no it can't be over
I feel you. I'm feeling the same way right now, and the worst part it's that i cannot cry even though i really want to.
This song literally gives me the chills, I love it.
Been on repeat for 2 hours straight. Bliss.
***** Fucking awesome ^_^
the part at 1:44 with headphones is so beautiful omg
The calendar has just flipped to 2023 and I’m still completely haunted by this song. The part you mentioned might be one of the most beautiful few seconds of music I’ve ever heard. Just perfect.
this took me to another world. how has only 4 minutes passed
This blew me away! This is what we are missing! So much depth to this song, I'm floating.
This is by far the best YTG song. I relate too much to this
I listen to this song every time I run, takes me to another place and I feel all my feelings getting released, I love this song
I cant stop listing to this, I cant.
This song guts me.
Still listening to this song. It takes me to another world, and seeing it live made me cry
I could never hold you.
You are deaf.
You are the deaf one he does indeed sing I could never hold you
I could never hold you again and I miss your warmth
This song is so beautiful & I unfortunately use it to get very sad when I'm in my weakest points
Same here
God I wish this song was longer
This is one of those super good songs that give you nostalgia even though you barely found it.
i have legit been ,listening to this song over the years and i just recently made it part of my everyday. still not sick of it
I could never… i could never hold you 😍
beautiful! it has a Coldplay feel. But sooo much more awesome.
Jd Hux I agree, so lovely
true. but better than coldplay any day.
Nothing is better than coldplay
***** Clearly your eardrums are jaded or broken. No matter, I'll enjoy them for you :)
***** Love Interpol... I will have to check out the others. Very different artists, though. Coldplay will always have a special place in my heart
ughh why do they have to be so good? my whole phone is going to be filled with their music
Wrote my scholarship essays to this song. It really got the creative spark going!
Thank You YTG!
I’m a dad of two, and this song helped tremendously with putting them down. Not sure why, but it worked for both of them haha.
All the years I've missed your warmth.
Have you missed my warmth?
This song makes me transient in reality. Absolute gold.
Dropping this comment as a thank you note to YTG. You've made someone's banalities out there, seem less like so because of your music. :)
I've liked this band since their debut! Refreshing! Makes me wish I lived on the West Coast!
This song and this group are life.
oh damn, it has been 7 years since this song was released ♥ I missed a lot !!
I miss these tunes. kept me calm.
Still LOVE LOVE LOVE this track, makes my heart ache
i always find myself back listening to this song such a paradise
cold play, black keys sounding! awesome voice and vibe loving this song :)
One of the few songs that bring me to a different place. Ohh how i love this feeling.
Darya and Varnika this song is so effing good, I listen to this to fall asleep
This songs hits different when ure high and rain is pouring outside
Been there and yeah I’m glad I was there
Es increíble como tiene tantos estilos, mis respetos!
Rolen rolas de este género! 🙏🏼
Escuchándola desde 2017

Lyrics
Five days
Underwater
Near your island
Off the coast
I know
Five ways
You were my lover
Incantation
Off the tide
In rhyme
Oh, what if the whole world finds you waiting
Oh, as it can so long now have
Oh, I thought you knew that I'd be coming
The way you move, a foreign groove, at night
I could never
I could never hold you
Watch it rise and where you hide your pearl
Feel the tide low where you cast those stones you wear
When no one's home, do they feel cold on your bones
All the years I miss your warmth
Have you missed my warmth?
On your island
🗻
:')
