This has to be one of the most visually beautiful music videos ever. Just look at the shadows and use of lighting. Also the throwaway sounds, like those sudden yelps and female vocalising during the chorus, add so much more value to this song. Truly a haunting masterpiece.
Look how far we've come...Its been such a long time and its so...So good to see them now. All the way from Curse to Clouds to 30 lives to Its Time to Gold, they have still not managed to fail me.
Everytime I hear a song of Imagine Dragons, my first opinion is that the song is not bad. Then, I listen to the song agains, and I like it a bit more, and then more and more each time I listen to the song. My love for the song increases every time I listen to the song, until the point when I'm completely addicted to the song and force everyone around me to listen to the song. Then, I happily watch them have the same journey as me.

whenever I hear a song Imagine dragons at first I say meh, not bad. then I go running rhythm in the head, I listen again, and finally I just liking it seems amazing. I'm the only one?
First time i heard radioactive it was my worst imagine dragons song... now its my favorite. It happed again with warriors and gold... more i listen to their song more im addicted to them :D
Ahaha this is like me to an extent. I was so on the fence about Imagine dragons and then gradually warmed to them. Now I am hooked and listen to them multiple times in a week
@@nishattasnimmaisha9706 For me they only have nine amazing songs: 1. Radioactive 2. Cutthroat 3. Gold 4. Warriors 5. Battle Cry 6. Hear Me 7. Natural 8. Whatever it takes 9. Believer
Is it just me or did people notice that this song is about king Midasas golden touch. This song is about to be careful what you wish for, it may just deceive you into living in tragedy
As a long time ID fan, I have a theory on what this music video is telling us. I think everything he touches, somehow turns to gold. I know the theory sounds a bit far-fetched and wild, but its something to think about.
It's referring to King Midas, and all the lyrics seem to say the same message: " 'Gold' isn't everything. We only get greedier when we are given 'gold'." King Midas' story is that everything he touches turns to gold, but he ends up turning his daughter into a golden statue by accident (he loved his daughter very much, so you know, sad ending with all the riches). Plus he couldn't eat (all his food turned to gold), everything he owned became useless pretty much. The idea is that having money, fame, fortune... they aren't worth much.
Actually it's a Greek myth about a king. Zeus, the king of the gods, granted him a wish, and Midas wanted the power to turn anything he touched to gold. Everything starts to go wrong when he notices even the food he touches turns to gold. He hugs his daughter, and she turns to gold. Zeus doesn't revoke the wish, and Midas dies of starvation.

(Who can you trust) When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold (Ooh, gold, woah Ooh, gold, woah Ooh, gold, woah Ooh, gold, woah) Statues and empires are all at your hands, Water to wine and the finest of sands When all that you have's turnin' stale and its cold, Oh you'll no longer fear when your heart's turned to gold Who can you trust (Who can you trust) When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold (Ooh, gold, woah Ooh, gold, woah Ooh, gold, woah Ooh, gold, woah) I'm dying to feel again, Oh anything at all, But oh I feel nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin' at all When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold (Ooh, gold, woah Ooh, gold, woah Ooh, gold, woah Ooh, gold, woah)
@@trafficcone7893 In my opinion, the song is about the downsides of stardom. The band felt blessed with the unexpected and immense success they achieved but they also realized that wealth can degrade their morals and relationships ("First comes a blessing of all that you've dreamed but then comes the curses of diamonds and rings"). When wealth and fame dictate their lives, hardly anything else can give them personal satisfaction ("When all that you have's turning stale and it's cold"). As their sense of fulfillment is devalued, they gradually lose their life purposes and perhaps that drove them to take off their time from making music and touring to spend more valuable time with their family, friends and themselves ("I'm dying to feel again. Oh anything at all. But all I feel is nothing"). Everyone around them become less trustworthy because who actually cares for them and who just wants to gain from them? ("Who can you trust?") The apparent allusion to King Midas' story further discusses these aspects that they have paid off for their ambitions to be realized.
Pretty sure that this song is about the fact that their success has caused everything around them to seem perfect. Huge tours, platinum albums, etc. Unfortunately, much like King Midas, the initial glamor of everything they touch turning to gold has been damaged by the fact that it's now impossible for them to know if people are wanting to be groupies/praising their music because they really like it or if they just want a piece of the glamor/wealth. Nothing is what it once was, and it never will be again.
Laggiter97 I don't think it's completely about Midas, but I certainly think of Midas and Hazel Levesque when I hear this song. (All of those people who don't know who Hazel is can go die in a pit, cold and alone.)
The fact that that's not just a part of the beat (the almost hiccup sound) but also them saying "gold" in Arabic gave me a better appreciation for this underrated gem.
These guys, don't care if this band is outdated or whatever. Its not. The songs are still amazing, the band is still epic. I'll always be loyal to these Dragons!
I think Imagine Dragons is the most talented group I've seen, at least in a long time. Their music is epic but they don't use curse words so their demographic includes everyone. Too many groups use curse words as a sort of crutch to replace talent, but Imagine Dragons has no need for that.
I really love the lighting on this. There are moments in it that feel like watching the sun set, giving a haunting mix of warmth and a sense of loss. And it's beautiful how such a warm brilliance is used to wash everything out in time to the lyrics as they sing about a loss of discernment. It manages to capture both hues of gold and also play out the feelings of the song in a tangible way that isn't as obvious as an acted bit might be.
When I heard of Imagine Dragons, I was like Ehh, then, as I listen to all if their songs, I like them a little better each time, until I beg and beg for Imagine Dragons Tickets! Now I'm going to see them live soon!
I'm stuck in the hospital, recuperating from a car accident. This is just what I needed. Thanks, Dreamy. Edit: Finally discharged. Got a long road and a lot of PT to go, but I'll make it. Thank you everyone for the thoughts, prayers, and well wishes. Love you all.❤️
Everyone's talking about Midas, and while you're not wrong, it's not the meaning of the song. In my opinion, he's talking about how when you become famous everything you use or touch becomes valuable. For example, if he were to use a pen, the pen now has artificial value that it previously didn't have.
+haveyouacceptedjesusasyourpersonalsavior he is a king who wished that everything he touched would turn to gold but he could not eat and his daughter got turned into gold
Derpy Emma ._. I stopped listening to them a while back because their songs were too sad sounding for my tastes. Three years later and I'm getting proven oh so very wrong
My hand : scrolling the comments My mouth :singing and reading comments My ears : listening My legs: dancing My mind: working all out at same time I am having a very busy day
@Brenden O nothing. But the problem with other musicians is that they put women in skimpy clothes. Which is very used and people hate that. Imagine dragons on the other hand. Doesn't do that

TheInanimateFight, please explain how they "sold out" and how they're bad now, because I don't think they did and they're great, but I'd like to see a trolls point of view.
*Step one:* place hand upon mouse. *Step two:* maneuver mouse to where cursor hovers over thumbs down icon. *Step three:* use finger to left click thumbs down icon. Sorry, that was super troll-y - not to mention douche-y - of me. I agree with the sentiment of the OP's intended meaning. This song rocks! Whoever disliked it needs to get their hearing checked...probably needs to pick up a book or three as well.
It is a view counting mechanism that youtube does for every video, first it checks if these views are real or not? So may be there are few hundred people also who are no. 301:-p
Antonio Nieves I have listened to a huge amount of Imagine Dragons songs. Perhaps you may consider that your opinion of which song is best is different to mine?
You guys hearing that in the first few seconds he's saying "دهب" "dahab" which means GOLD in Arabic !!!! I can feel those music vibes coming from Saini in Egypt as i'm Egyptian so i can relate😂
It's depressing to see a masterpiece as this only have 26 million views whereas Rhiannas shitty "Work" has almost 800 million views. Kudos to those who likes imagine dragons, and know these songs Gold Fallen Round and round Monster Amsterdam Tiptoe Bleeding Out Im so sorry I bet my life Dream and so much more than just radioactive, demons, and its time. You and the ones that read this comment posted on this song, are the only true imagine dragon fans out there.
Floralsasha - **Sees Bleeding Out** **Starts Screaming** Cause Im Bleeding out! If the last thing that I doooo! Is to bring ya down! I'll Bleed Out for Youuuuu!!!
Imagine Dragons offers you the best sick rhythm, meaningful lyrics, anti-mainstream, and golden voice (LUV DAN REYNOLDS). Everything you touch turns to gold. Don't be greedy everyone.
ZazarStudios I think Alma J. was saying that not all their good songs are mainstream, yeah everyone knows Demons, and all of their really big songs, but their songs that aren't mainstream are better IMO
Recently, I have started listening to Imagine Dragons. I always have parts of there songs in my head, from hearing there songs when I was a kid. There songs bring back great memories for me. Plus its absolutely amazing music. The sound the meaning, everything. I love it!!! Hey, thanks for the 3 likes, it's the most I've ever had. Lol And now even more wow Edit~ Wow that's a lot a likes, thanks guysss
Everyone: King midas LoL Me: this feels like they’re talking about being famous. Everything you touch people treasure. Who can you trust? People will lie to get attention, money, and much more from you. Empires and statues, companies offering you stuff. Ik I’m way late btw but I only thought about this a few months ago
Imagine Dragons is the only pop band I like cause each of their songs is unique, each one with a different meaning behind it unlike todays pop artists. Also their music sounds amazing.
I wouldn’t consider them pop...they don’t even consider themselves rock. They like to keep their music “genre-less” but yeah they are MILES better than most anything else nowadays.

but I think the meaning of the song is you have fame and everything and life is good, but then it's too good you yourself started to fall
Milai I agree
Same thing but replace fame and gold
Summer Rose yes, touching things and turning them to gold would be the first thought, of King Midas, but it has a deeper meaning

When wealth and fame dictate their lives, hardly anything else can give them personal satisfaction ("When all that you have's turning stale and it's cold"). As their sense of fulfillment is devalued, they gradually lose their life purposes and perhaps that drove them to take off their time from making music and touring to spend more valuable time with their family, friends and themselves ("I'm dying to feel again. Oh anything at all. But all I feel is nothing"). Everyone around them become less trustworthy because who actually cares for them and who just wants to gain from them? ("Who can you trust?") The apparent allusion to King Midas' story further discusses these aspects that they have paid off for their ambitions to be realized.
Cause they have believer. Simple as that.
Pretty sure that this song is about the fact that their success has caused everything around them to seem perfect. Huge tours, platinum albums, etc. Unfortunately, much like King Midas, the initial glamor of everything they touch turning to gold has been damaged by the fact that it's now impossible for them to know if people are wanting to be groupies/praising their music because they really like it or if they just want a piece of the glamor/wealth. Nothing is what it once was, and it never will be again.
I agree have a like
Pretty sure it is a song about King Midas... And that's it...
Laggiter97 I don't think it's completely about Midas, but I certainly think of Midas and Hazel Levesque when I hear this song. (All of those people who don't know who Hazel is can go die in a pit, cold and alone.)
***** Yes.
Amanda Lyons You mean Tartarus.
The fact that that's not just a part of the beat (the almost hiccup sound) but also them saying "gold" in Arabic gave me a better appreciation for this underrated gem.
These guys, don't care if this band is outdated or whatever. Its not. The songs are still amazing, the band is still epic. I'll always be loyal to these Dragons!
I know right!
no way will I ever say Imagine Dragons are outdated
+ShadowGirl XD (Shadow) i'll assassinate anyone who says that xD
they're golden!... that was corny
Bryce Raber haha lol ikr :P
Who's here because they just really love Imagine Dragons?
I am
Feel you bruh
Farmadorito Brochacho me
Farmadorito Brochacho yep this song never gets old
me !!
I think Imagine Dragons is the most talented group I've seen, at least in a long time. Their music is epic but they don't use curse words so their demographic includes everyone. Too many groups use curse words as a sort of crutch to replace talent, but Imagine Dragons has no need for that.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Colplay, One Republic. One Direction,
Please do not use Coldplay and 1D in the same sentence Coldplay is a far better band
Fine............
Coldplay is good. 1D is also doing well.
different sentences
what you talking about he said just said nutsack!!! at 2:43
this is imagine dragons’s underrated song
This is your underrrated comment
This is your underrated comment to a comment.
They have many underrated songs.
not that underrated
@@bt_diamond4892 it’s quite underrated
The drums in ever imagine dragons song is one of those things where you can't help but air play it!
TheHero Gaming you should listen to a band called Rush, they have the best drummer in the world
The_B_Dude excuse me, Daniel Platzman is the best drummer in the world
TheHero Gaming ikr i'm killing this air guitar
TheHero Gaming They remind me of OneRepublic in this sense. Always a killer drumline!
Brent Altemus OMG !! IKR ??!! OneRepublic is like the best band ever, ever !!
It's a shame this song never gained in popularity. It's one of my favorites from Imagine Dragons.
How, it gained at least 82,229,830 million views.
@@justdave_54 they wrote that comment 2 years ago bro.. it for sure didn’t have that many views back then. Cuz I remember
sameee
Yes, its sad
Yeah I wondered
I really love the lighting on this. There are moments in it that feel like watching the sun set, giving a haunting mix of warmth and a sense of loss. And it's beautiful how such a warm brilliance is used to wash everything out in time to the lyrics as they sing about a loss of discernment. It manages to capture both hues of gold and also play out the feelings of the song in a tangible way that isn't as obvious as an acted bit might be.
Probably their most underrated song tbh
Hash tbh most of the songs on smoke + mirrors are underrated.

Love's pretty underrated too tbh, but yeah
@Tony Stark Yes

Found this song back in high school. Revisiting 4yrs later and it is still as EPIC🔥🔥
Now epic *GAMES* those fortnite kids are everywhere
Everyone's talking about Midas, and while you're not wrong, it's not the meaning of the song. In my opinion, he's talking about how when you become famous everything you use or touch becomes valuable. For example, if he were to use a pen, the pen now has artificial value that it previously didn't have.
and gold is valuable
Sounds right, but WHO's Midas?
+haveyouacceptedjesusasyourpersonalsavior I can't remember the story, but it is about a king who turned anything he touched into gold.
+haveyouacceptedjesusasyourpersonalsavior he is a king who wished that everything he touched would turn to gold but he could not eat and his daughter got turned into gold
Could be both?
This band and this song is amazing, nobody can surely tell me otherwise :)
This band is my favourite of all time! They could put out a really crappy song and I'd love it XD
Amy Crandall ikr?
I love this band
Well said my friend!
When they sing the lyric "Everything I touch turns to gold" they are referring to the band, and they are right.
I love the way Dan moves while singing..
I had forgotten how amazing Imagine Dragons were...
Im so happy i rediscovered them
Derpy Emma ._. I stopped listening to them a while back because their songs were too sad sounding for my tastes.
Three years later and I'm getting proven oh so very wrong
same here

This is such an underrated song honestly.
And there's such a hollow, yet deep sound when you listen to this with headphones. It sounds *so* good.
0% drugs
0%woman
100% pure talented musicians
@Lord Steve IV yes. There are musicians that talk about human trafficking
@Brenden O nothing. But the problem with other musicians is that they put women in skimpy clothes. Which is very used and people hate that. Imagine dragons on the other hand. Doesn't do that
The person who does the piano is a girl....
Brydude87 10000% agree
Amber Martinez he means they don’t use girls in their videos for human trafficking
LETRAS/LYRICS
First comes the blessing of all that you've dreamed
But then comes the curses of diamonds and rings
Only at first did it have its appeal
But now you can't tell the false from the real
Who can you trust?
(Who can you trust)
When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold
When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold
(Ooh, gold, woah
Ooh, gold, woah
Ooh, gold, woah
Ooh, gold, woah)
Statues and empires are all at your hands,
Water to wine and the finest of sands
When all that you have's turnin' stale and its cold,
Oh you'll no longer fear when your heart's turned to gold
Who can you trust
(Who can you trust)
When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold
When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold
(Ooh, gold, woah
Ooh, gold, woah
Ooh, gold, woah
Ooh, gold, woah)
I'm dying to feel again,
Oh anything at all,
But oh I feel nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin' at all
When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold
When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold
(Ooh, gold, woah
Ooh, gold, woah
Ooh, gold, woah
Ooh, gold, woah)

Why are most of their underrated songs always bangers
Because that is the society w live in, sadly😢
I love the song and the whistle makes it better and more epic
Haven't listened to an imagine dragons song in a while.
I'm in love.
welcome to the group
Lolz
I still only like their old songs before dubstep and BASS became the main thing of every song ever
Welcome to every other country song ever. (Im looking at you Florida Georgia Line..)

What an amazing fan base, so much support towards Imagine dragons. Simply because they don't do anything stupid and make great music. Much respect
Exactly
That's why I love them
Darkside 1234 One of the reasons for me too. Check out his new music video, and I mean he is just a good singer too.
The entire rock fan base is the best! imagine dragons, Muse, Linkin Park, Thirty seconds to mars all have an amazing fan base!!

They have spirit in every songs

Imagine Dragons offers you the best sick rhythm, meaningful lyrics, anti-mainstream, and golden voice (LUV DAN REYNOLDS). Everything you touch turns to gold. Don't be greedy everyone.
I wouldn't say they are anti-mainstream lol...
ZazarStudios Well you maybe right but it's kinda rare to hear songs like ID's...
ZazarStudios I think Alma J. was saying that not all their good songs are mainstream, yeah everyone knows Demons, and all of their really big songs, but their songs that aren't mainstream are better IMO

It can go both ways i guess
Many people still watch awesome old songs

Same. This is about the fame they got after night visions. Gold/midas thing is to make it more sublime to turn it into a poet.
Who's King Midas? You mean the king that turned his daughter into Gold?
Imagine Dragons is the only pop band I like cause each of their songs is unique, each one with a different meaning behind it unlike todays pop artists. Also their music sounds amazing.
I wouldn’t consider them pop...they don’t even consider themselves rock. They like to keep their music “genre-less” but yeah they are MILES better than most anything else nowadays.
There music actually has a meaning
If you like Imagine Dragons then you might like One Republic, Coldplay's old songs, and X Ambassadors.
