I found your music through my sons things cleaning up his apartment after he passed away from a tragic accident June 19th 2022. Only 26 years old. My son struggled most his life with social anxiety and went throughout high school being bullied. He later found friends in the most unconventional places. He never judged ppl. Just let them be, he eventually found purpose helping those who struggle, help find a place to sleep or eat., furniture make doctors appointments. He volunteered at a place that would let homeless shower and do laundry.. I haven’t stop listening to X ambassadors since he passed..I see my sons life through these songs, I resinate greatly, he had a burned cd in his player.. (old school I know) warned my heart actually. I gave it to his 8 yr old son, my grandson who plays it regularly. I get super emotional listening sometimes. My Child, Renegades (my son skateboarding every night down our street) This one No Strings hits hard. He just wanted to be who he was, no strings. Love my and miss my loving child Nathan so much. His Birthday is April 5th. Your album release date. I found that special. Thank you for the music. Forever my ❤
@starlight7041 I am sorry for the loss of your young son. I hope you won't take this as a criticism, but you said he just wanted to be who he was, no strings. I didn't know him but reading your post, it sounds to me like that is exactly what he did! How amazing. Even in his short 26 years he likely made more of a difference to the people who needed (I do mean the ones that actually NEEDED some help) someone that actually still gives enough of a f about another human being to make it his mission to put aside his own daily life long enough to help someone else. Because HE wanted to. I think that is living. He"leaves behind" you and his child, unnamed/unknown others, and a refusal to live as a victim mentality) It's Wonder full that your grandson is with you, not being raised by ???? There has been so much loss in these past 2 years (I am 54years old myself, never considered my life would be as it is now but I'm not posting for this to be about me. I do know about "loss" of loved ones. Just putting this part of my comment For the "keyboard critics and bots". Conversation? Yes please. Arguments? Not here! ) Wishing you peace, strength and good memories~
"No Strings" No strings to hold me down Feeling so high We don't need wings To fly No strings to hold me now It's just me and you tonight We don't need wings To fly Meet me at the Thurston Ave bridge Sit around and watch the rich kids Wonder how they got what they got Dad was gone and mom had four jobs Told me you were sick of living here All you wanna do is disappear Watched you as you stared over the edge Stick-and-poke tattoos on your wrist We don't care what anybody thinks of us Living dangerous Living reckless We don't care what anybody thinks of us Just some wanderers Never high enough, oh No strings to hold me down Feeling so high We don't need wings To fly No strings to hold me now It's just me and you tonight We don't need wings To fly We don't need wings To fly We don't need wings To fly Parties in an old abandoned house Skateboarding under grey clouds Swore to God that I would make it out Couple of us went a different route This town will suffocate ya First they love ya, then they break ya Driving 95 on 88 Never going back upstate We don't care what anybody thinks of us Living dangerous Living reckless We don't care what anybody thinks of us Just some wanderers Never high enough, oh No strings to hold me down Feeling so high We don't need wings To fly No strings to hold me now It's just me and you tonight We don't need wings To fly We don't need wings To fly We don't need wings To fly We don't need, we don't need, we don't need We don't need, we don't need, we don't need
Its so crazy just seeing Ithaca through the view of this video. Ive lived here my whole life and i feel so much comfort in your music. The way you paint the picture of this town through words is exactly how it is
Omg.... when I read your comment my eyes skipped over the word 'Ithaca.' Without even seeing it's Ithaca, somehow I just new it was rural New York. Hm. I've never been to New York (City or upstate). I think the closest I've ever been to NYC or NY State is Washington DC/Maryland. I've been a lot of places in the western US, but not so many in the east. I might have to change that! #LifelongMinnesotan
I was so excited to hear something new from you guys! Beautiful, natural storytellers. I would love to be in the room and be a part of creating the magic that you create.
One more time X Ambassadors keep proving that their talent evolves while keeping the special thing that makes them so unique! This song as the first one from their new album TOWNIE and it’s a perfect way to introduce it! It feels like a breath of fresh air and takes me to fly! Just what I needed on my life! I can’t wait for the new album! ILYSM guys!! STREAM NO STRINGS!! AAAAAH! 🔥👏🏼😩🇲🇽
Literally been binge listening to all the songs and not one bad song at all! I'm literally obsessed and cannot stop listening. Your music has shifted my soul.
TH-cam algorithm has hit the nail on the head with this one. Hardly every find a song that gets me singing with it first time. Love it, loved it, LOVED IT!
Song is beyond beautiful, congrats! Absolut stunning and georgous...and now, excuse me, I have to listen to it on repeat. :D And sing my soul out. Hope i see you guys in 2 weeks in Berlin, cant wait! ❤
I found his music listening to another group while cleaning, his music need to cross over to RnB he will become a legend. Beautiful music like you took me back to the late 70s through the 80s👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
‘Driving 95 on 88, never going back upstate’. What a random perfect lyric that would mean little to most, but meant everything to me. Wow, new subscriber in the house…. This song was so refreshing.
I lived in Newport News nearly most of my life. Until 2019.since 91 when i was born. I was never a fan of my town until I moved to Hampton. After Dealing with my dad for so long. And just tension with him. My mom was Always the caring one. Who help find the best Living situation for me When I moved to Hampton, I definitely found my Hometown. I still have a good relationship with my mom and stepdad. But me and my biological dad have split ways. I feel more freedom than ever in my 30s. I feel like now I can live life with no strings attached. This song is now the anthem of my 30s. Very happy to have gained my freedom
The singer is conveying a feeling of liberation and freedom, fueled by a sense of rebellion and disregard for societal expectations. Here's a breakdown of the key themes: Breaking free: The recurring line "No strings to hold me down" emphasizes the singer's desire to escape constraints and limitations. The verses depict a yearning to leave behind a stifling environment ("This town will suffocate ya") and forge their own path. The bridge reinforces this with "We don't need wings to fly," suggesting they can achieve freedom without external help. Reckless abandon: The lyrics mention "living dangerous" and "living reckless," highlighting a willingness to take risks and challenge the status quo. The imagery of "parties in an old abandoned house" and "skateboarding under grey clouds" reinforces this carefree and rebellious spirit. The line "We don't care what anybody thinks of us" emphasizes their independence and disregard for judgment. Shared experience: The chorus repeatedly mentions "you," suggesting the singer finds this freedom even more exhilarating when shared with someone else. The line "It's just me and you tonight" emphasizes the intimacy and shared adventure they experience together. The verses depict shared activities like watching rich kids and escaping their hometown, reinforcing their bond. Overall, the song paints a picture of two young people yearning for freedom and embracing a rebellious spirit. They find this liberation not through external means like wings, but through their own choices, shared experiences, and disregard for societal constraints.
Loved the change of sound they had with The Beautiful Liar, but this is definitely giving me Love Songs, Drug Songs/VHS vibes again! Seen them live twice (2nd was after the world opened back up and we needed it the most) and can't wait for the 3rd.
People don’t understand how much he works to keep his listeners happy and vibing. Even when he made Torches, Unsteady, and Hold You Down some of the best songs that carries a more personal message.

one month later still thinking of your son. rest in peace
My favorite band ever. I’m sooo excited to see you guys live. Met Sam at his solo show and he’s the coolest nicest dude
"No Strings"
No strings to hold me down
Feeling so high
We don't need wings
To fly
No strings to hold me now
It's just me and you tonight
We don't need wings
To fly
Meet me at the Thurston Ave bridge
Sit around and watch the rich kids
Wonder how they got what they got
Dad was gone and mom had four jobs
Told me you were sick of living here
All you wanna do is disappear
Watched you as you stared over the edge
Stick-and-poke tattoos on your wrist
We don't care what anybody thinks of us
Living dangerous
Living reckless
We don't care what anybody thinks of us
Just some wanderers
Never high enough, oh
No strings to hold me down
Feeling so high
We don't need wings
To fly
No strings to hold me now
It's just me and you tonight
We don't need wings
To fly
We don't need wings
To fly
We don't need wings
To fly
Parties in an old abandoned house
Skateboarding under grey clouds
Swore to God that I would make it out
Couple of us went a different route
This town will suffocate ya
First they love ya, then they break ya
Driving 95 on 88
Never going back upstate
We don't care what anybody thinks of us
Living dangerous
Living reckless
We don't care what anybody thinks of us
Just some wanderers
Never high enough, oh
No strings to hold me down
Feeling so high
We don't need wings
To fly
No strings to hold me now
It's just me and you tonight
We don't need wings
To fly
We don't need wings
To fly
We don't need wings
To fly
We don't need, we don't need, we don't need
We don't need, we don't need, we don't need
Awesome thanks
appreciate

Which town is it? Is it somewhere in upstate New York?

It's his Hometown and my hometown as well. So yeah! Ithaca, New York
My town too. I-town
Mine too. It's kinda surreal to see it in a music video.

‘Driving 95 on 88, never going back upstate’. What a random perfect lyric that would mean little to most, but meant everything to me.

Why tf he's so underratted??
People don’t understand how much he works to keep his listeners happy and vibing. Even when he made Torches, Unsteady, and Hold You Down some of the best songs that carries a more personal message.
Cause all of his music is depressing
Underrated? Pop music with 1.35 mil subs? Is it BAD?
He doesn't
Not all of his music is depressing
perfect!
Beautiful thing to come back home shoot this ❤
Muy bien la música ❤, mi gustas muchoo! Soy brasileño❤
