"The Best Thing"
(written by Austin Garrick and Bronwyn Griffin)
Monkey's on their back
A scorpion's on yours
You know their hearts are black
They can't follow the course
You'd only take a life
That was already over, to save another
No guns or bombs or knives
Your hammer, your hands, your heart is full
And you, and you
Are the best thing that's ever happened to me
mmm, mmm, mmm
They say you have no name
They say you show no signs
And who you are by day
Isn't the same in the night
But you'd only take a life
That was already over, to save another
No guns or bombs or knives
Your hammer, your hands, your heart is full
And you, and you
Are the best thing that's ever happened to me
mmm, mmm, mmm
Music is a healer especially in this toxic world .
It was supposed to be the end track for the movie, but was changed to, A Real Hero. Both are great song's. So glad I saw Drive on the big screen. 👍🏻
False. This song was made after drive.
cut the bullshit idiot
@@mattline76 no its not false... the lyrics are the give away...
"Monkeys on their back.. ,
A scorpion on yours...(relates directly to the Scorpion insignia on Goslings jacket in the film Drive)..
Lyrics-
"No guns no bombs no knives, your hammer in your hands your heart is full"
Shes singing how Goslings character uses no guns or knives ,only the hammer.(mostly)Apart from the one scene when he uses the mob guys knife , on the mob guy who stabbed him in the parking lot.
@@colddaze6680 I mean, he also uses a shotgun to defend himself against the mob assassins sent after him in that motel.
@@FrancisCastiglione true
The voice of this woman is amazing. I love it.
Ever since I first listened to this song, I can't help but to think that it will be one of my daughter's 15th birthday dance songs; she used to extend her little arms in order for us to dance. At nearly 4 years of age, she likes to listen to "And you", as she calls it. Thank you for coming up with this beautiful melody, keeping me alive after a bitter divorce.
Hugs from Tijuana.
How has nobody else liked this comment so far apart from me??... I'm a 49 yr old punk guy, and it just made me tear up for Christ's sake..
@@colddaze6680 thank you for your kind words. Far from looking to be liked, I only tried to convey what I have experienced.
I appreciate your empathy.
@@alexrcanez I hear you man, but I was being genuine. And thought was a cute lil story. For better or worse, I call it how I see it
@@colddaze6680 thank you so much.
You are the best thing that has ever happened to me!
I think it's safe to say that is from the point of view of Irene about The Driver
these lyrics HAVE to be reference to Ryan Gosling's character in Drive!!
"Monkeys on their backs, scorpions on yours." As the opening lyrics. Definitely yes. I heard it was written for the movie. Same with Real hero. Theres another Best thing video made purely from the film ,same with Real hero. So I'd say yes definitely .
Check Le samourai.A French masterpiece …
@@colddaze6680also the hammer bit
For reasons unknown, this makes me sad and happy at the same time.
Electric youth . I love you. There's nothing more than that I can tell. Your music is so good, it is so soul touching..
Even though this song wasn’t in Drive (2011) it’s theme reflects the drivers theme with Irene and Benicio
this is that sounds I'm looking for
love the Retro sounds on this track.. would like to hear the Album when it comes out..
It’s called innerworld
I feel like the song lyrics are specifically about the driver
This track have nothing to do with the movie. But respectable feeling.
Benji Arias Nothing to do? It's literally about the main character. Referencing the scorpion on his jacket and the hammer he uses.
@@benjiarias9599 they talking about driver the scorpion and his hammer
@@benjiarias9599 yeah the Electric Youth album Innerworld helps one discover that
The Best Thing...
Best Days
Best Life
Best Lives
Best Times
All the Best Things & Stuff
One of the best.
It's probably the best track of my life.
I listen to this while running down a road shooting zombies in Arma 3. THE most relaxing and pleasant thing.
"Additional Production by Vince Clarke"
Wait. The same Vince Clarke from Depeche Mode, Yazoo and Erasure? Awesome!
I've listen to this since i'm still a dumb teen, now I'm still here and listen to this in my almost 20s. this song was really one of the best thing I ever heard. still beautiful as the first time I hear it, makes me calm in such time like this. thank you Electric Youth :)
Same, life is suffer, but have wonderful things as love and music, and that's what make wonderful and "the best thing"
@@DonSawa and the best thing is I get to find other people sharing their thoughts with you. isn't that the best feeling? 😌
@@synthnation9857 totally agree, nothing like feeling understood
nice chord progression, I'm feeling this tune.
my favourite from Electric Youth. soul grasping music
the nostalgia is overwhelming, man
I always shiver when I ear this song
I love music !!!!!!
Drive
Just Beautiful.
Love this band.🍄🇨🇦
J'écoute cette musique 5 fois par jours minimum :)
Mien 'etait infini.
1st time i heard this group . no idea who remind me of but 100% spot on
Oh for deff this is about Ryan in drive, exspecially the part were she is watching him being a real human being interacting with her son, for her it's a missing part of life that she so much desires and that she only felt in her dreams.
Well something like that,lol, frellin good film guys and the sound track from electric youth is outstanding
Didn't Electric Youth say this was inspired by Capt. Sully - from the "Miracle On The Hudson"
@@zb1123 nah, that was A Real Hero. The song used in the movie which is a trubute to Sully and most Action hero movies
This is not a reality show this is real
Love the friendly and peaceful sound of this song
Delicious Kawaiigami surely your birthday's on the same day every year, not just last year? :3
J'aime beaucoup cette chanson si je peut le dire ça représente ma vie aujourd'hui d'ailleurs 😍😎
Totally AWESOME!!!
Your a great band and couple
EPIC!! heartwarming ALWAYS
I hope Nicholas develops drive 2 and for sure they have to add this to the soundtrack !!
Drive is one of my favourite movies EVER, but the closure was perfect. A sequel would likely even hurt the original.
@@m1s3ry97 What about a prequel?
@@ibrick430 theres a sequel novel called driven
Love your music
This makes me like I'm having 80s flasbacks!!
Nice song
Love this :)
There was this girl I met when I was in college her name was fulden and everytimr this I play this song I think of her. I never really started any relationship since I met her it was 20 years ago I still am very much in love with her.
awesome
This song seems like a song of 1980's.
Cállese

This song gave me a safe space when I was in trauma
I realized how much I fit this song lol new theme
