'I'll recover if you keep me alive' I discovered this song 7 years ago, during a period of turmoil. Brings me to tears hearing this again, and how far we have come
Years & Years blew it out of the park on their first go at it that nothing else has ever been able to compare to it. Such a unique sound, it encapsulates the era in which we heard it. Victim of their own success.
The only 80's influenced song that wouldn't feel out of place in that decade. In fact, it would have almost definitely been number one for months. Classic.
Love Ollie Alexander, his voice and talent are amazing, and when I watched him on TV and in an interview, he was the most honest, sincere, interesting person, who is so authentically himself. I really like his music and personality.
He said in an interview that he's always been singing about his boy friends in his songs. Also if you look at the lyrics to songs like 'Real' the lyric "You do it boy" and Memo the lyric "when he looks like that" it's obvious what his sexual preference is.
I love you olly! I’ve been listening to you faithfully for 8 or 9 years now. Thank you for your hard work, dedication and inspiration. So much love and blessings to you babe
"Shine" I remember us alone Waiting for the light to go Don't you feel that hunger I've got, so many secrets to show When I saw you on that stage I shiver with the look you gave Don't you hear that rhythm Can you show me how we can escape [Pre-chorus:] I was biting my tongue I was trying to hide I'll forget what I've done I will be redefined [Chorus:] It's shaking the sky and I'm following lightning I'll recover if you keep me alive Don't leave me behind, can you see me, I'm shining And it's you that I've been waiting to find [2x] I'm holding it all tonight I'm folding it all tonight You know that you make it shine It's you that I've been waiting to find Now that we can hear that sound Now that you can hold me down You can pull me under You can raze everything to the ground Everything I can arrange Every part of me you change Just hold me together Tell me, you'll always want me to stay [Pre-chorus] [Chorus] Wanna be the one you steal I wanna be the one you shield I wanna be the one that your love, that your love can heal I wanna be the one you steal I wanna be the one you shield I wanna be the one that your love, that your love... [Chorus] [2x] I'm holding it all tonight I'm folding it all tonight You know that you make it shine It's you that I've been waiting to find It's you that I've been waiting to find [3x]
Back in 2015 - I was obsessed with this song as it's musical perfection and lyrically pure genius... I can so relate to the message... Wow now I'm back to listen again as it still soars.

this song for me always has a special meaning. I always connect it with anxiety and a inner struggle. Biting my toungue - trying to hide anxiety for so long. The hook is like my inner voice calling me: If anxiety comes back (shaking the sky) I will face it (following the lightning). Only that way I can be redefined. It's like my inner me screaming you got this, I can recover just keep me alive (I know, originally he says alight ;)) which also makes me very emotional because I was 3,5 bad instances away from not doing so on my lowest low. It's my inner voice screaming: Don't leave me behind, can you not see how much you can shine if you believe you can fight it. I can become the one I was trying to find, trying to to be. Who cut the onions?
This song is already 7 years old?! Damn, time flies by so fast… have made so many memories to this song. It’ll always have a special place in my heart 🙏🏻
Totally Smashed it!!!.... Changed my views on the whole LGBTQ community.... helped me grow up! I’m 45, kinda grew up during that time, must admit, I had ( shall we say, not so good views regarding that community )... It’s a Sin changed everything!... Thank you Olly Alexander, you are the Man!!! Russell T Davies, and Peter Hoar... and not forgetting all the caste, you guys truly made something special.... Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
I always try not to fall in love, but, everything speaks right through my whole being. Thank you for making me feel alive, thank you for reminding me how to shine.
My absolute fave Y&Y song... I adore THE magnificent Olly Alexander and have the pleasure of sharing a birthday with him!!! If you haven't watched 'It's A Sin' then get binge watching now!!!!!.... Olly not only has a stunning voice, amazing stage presence but is a consummate actor!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you get nostalgia, than do the nostalgia. Your currently in nostalgia you just don't know it. remember this time and remember the next time you do something. your living in future nostalgia.
And this is how you do a MASTERPIECE video, I can't get enough of Years &Years, Olly is so talented, this is so lively! He's is one of the best male singers, ever! I'm in love of his voice, is so heavenly. Perfect, great video, great band!
this song has an unexpectable atmosphere inside my mind. feels like i was in a middle of night, alone with a moonlight. also i felt really lonely and no one beside me
Few years ago when I was in a bad place, that part “I wanna be the one you shield, I wanna be the one that your love can heal”, helped me make a switch in my head. When you sing it to yourself it makes you realize that you are the only one who can help you get up and that your love can heal you as well ☺️
So so true. been in that situation myself 17/18 years ago and was living in another country and my world turned upside down within an hour. not nice but after locking myself away for a few weeks with my music and a few beer, managed to get my head back on track. this is a great song and will never go out of fashion.
This song makes me cry almost every time I play it because it came on when we were taking my cat back from the vet, her eye had exploded (we don’t know how, sometimes it just happens) and we lost all hope for her because she wasn’t eating, she fractured her skull. They were going to put her down..But now she’s here with us for YEARS AND YEARS
Omg I stumbled across this song finally, I've heard it so many times but never knew what it was called. Love love love , will be on repeat. and the dudes hot too. yaay icing on cake.
I know this is a really late post but when I first heard this song I had it on repeat and I absolutely loved it . Then a day later, my cousin who was 2 years longer than me died of a overdose. Since then and probably forever this song will always remind of him. The sadness of him passing and how much I miss him. Sad connection for such a good song.
Wow! This is actually an amazing music-video! Im in love with this song! Please make a collab with Troye Sivan, that would be ridiculous!!! And where is Michael?😅 Also guys please welcome to my channel! I make cool covers and think you like them! Bye!
Chris Smalldini Yeah, but this person's opinion was 'I've NEVER heard good music. This is the first piece i've ever heard I've liked" That's a LONG time to live an existance never hearing one piece of music that has ever entertained you!
I became a fan since 2014 This takes me to when I was 16-17 hoping for someone to save me from living with my dad. He'd constantly beat me up and I tried escaping everytime I could. I tried dating behind his back but everyone I met would be 'too good to be true'. This song was like "my boyfriend song " from me to me. I always craved for a love like this. I was the most vulnerable during this time. Today im 25, I'm married and have a beautiful daughter . I actually have someone who loves me , who cares about me, who actually isn't obsessed and wanted to find me. This song brings tears to my eyes everytime. I haven't showed him this song because im much to afraid to cry or to show how truly vulnerable I am . Hubby, if you ever see this comment. Ive been hurting for the longest time and 1:08 " it is you that I've waiting to find" I truly hope we stay together forever for I will try my best to be redefine myself every day

5 years ago fighting to get my kids back my wife was being told to leave me and she was contemplating it ... this song came out of knowwhere and the lyrics truly gave me the motivation to fight for everything ... 5 years later I got my family back and were so happy thank god for putting this song out there I didnt no I needed it 💚💚💚 1 of my favs for life
This song unlocked nostalgic memories I had no idea I even had. Been hearing Years&Years songs for all these years (no pun intended) and I never even knew their names. I miss this era of pop music. 1996-2015 was truly the best
This song brings back so many nostalgic memories, places gone and friends lost.
That's the thing with music...it's not always the subject of the song or love itself - it can simply be old memories.
I feel the same
omg what are you talkng about, it was just 4 years ago. You never had friends.
Big oof
same here!
No matter how much this song is appreciated. It still feels underrated.
true
Deserved way more recognition!!
Agreed

So under rated..
As a 68 year old man, I still enjoy this music and appreciate it
Just with saggier balls
I'll be like u in the future

If you have Forza Horizon 3 boot that game up... Its always on the radio there.
Years & Years blew it out of the park on their first go at it that nothing else has ever been able to compare to it. Such a unique sound, it encapsulates the era in which we heard it. Victim of their own success.
king is amazing too!!
Have you listened to Palo Santo? It’s actually really really good. I thought nothing would ever compare to communion. But it absolutely does

He has an AMAZING VOICE. And what an amazing actor xx love Ollie
I just heard this when I was shopping. It's 8 years old but my most listened to song in february 2024
I'm coming back to this song after 5 years. Still remember it.
who can forget this song!
It's 6 years 😪
Love Ollie Alexander, his voice and talent are amazing, and when I watched him on TV and in an interview, he was the most honest, sincere, interesting person, who is so authentically himself. I really like his music and personality.
Their best song so far?? I think so.
In my opinion Gold and King are the bests songs of Years and Years.
For me Memo, Eyes Shut & Shine
Eyes shut, Real, Take shelter, and Shine are my favs!!! 😍
real, take shelter, traps, you annd I and worship
Desire is my fave!
Olly is so damn talented! Great Actor aswell!
I wanted his boyfriend to make a special appearance!
Me too. If only we saw neil at the end.
TrentAndLuke olly is gay? dafaq
Darina Carter yes, he is
He said in an interview that he's always been singing about his boy friends in his songs. Also if you look at the lyrics to songs like 'Real' the lyric "You do it boy" and Memo the lyric "when he looks like that" it's obvious what his sexual preference is.
TrentAndLuke who's his boyfriend? I know he has one but I don't know his name
This is the most beautiful song, his voice sounds so pure and sincere and I finally found someone that I can relate it too 💖

"Shine"
I remember us alone
Waiting for the light to go
Don't you feel that hunger
I've got, so many secrets to show
When I saw you on that stage
I shiver with the look you gave
Don't you hear that rhythm
Can you show me how we can escape
[Pre-chorus:]
I was biting my tongue
I was trying to hide
I'll forget what I've done
I will be redefined

It's shaking the sky and I'm following lightning
I'll recover if you keep me alive
Don't leave me behind, can you see me, I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find

I'm holding it all tonight
I'm folding it all tonight
You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've been waiting to find
Now that we can hear that sound
Now that you can hold me down
You can pull me under
You can raze everything to the ground
Everything I can arrange
Every part of me you change
Just hold me together
Tell me, you'll always want me to stay
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
Wanna be the one you steal
I wanna be the one you shield
I wanna be the one that your love, that your love can heal
I wanna be the one you steal
I wanna be the one you shield
I wanna be the one that your love, that your love...

You know that you make it shine

They were going to put her down..But now she’s here with us for YEARS AND YEARS
Cool story bro
Callum Burke Bish I swear baby yoda will throttle you

I have just my kitty too last week. I also love this song. I close my eyes and dance and dance.. And dance

This Year's and Years song Shine is a masterpiece of music and Olly Alexander is so talented from a 60 years young Irishman fan ❤😊
Omg I stumbled across this song finally, I've heard it so many times but never knew what it was called. Love love love , will be on repeat. and the dudes hot too. yaay icing on cake.
+Christina G
The Dude is Hot and very Gay x
+Sparkycbc1 damn!!! Hahaha
I was disappointed too when I found out, but then I thought, "like I'd ever have a chance anyway" 😂
NOSTALGIA!! Always had this song on repeat waaaay back in2015. Well hello 2022: SHINE's back on top!!
I know this is a really late post but when I first heard this song I had it on repeat and I absolutely loved it . Then a day later, my cousin who was 2 years longer than me died of a overdose. Since then and probably forever this song will always remind of him. The sadness of him passing and how much I miss him. Sad connection for such a good song.
Just so everyone knows, the sad connection doesn't make me like the song any less 👍
I have been trying to remember this song's name and singer for months!I have just found it!I am really happy!
randomly woke up on 15th November 2016 with this stuck in my head despite not really listening to it much before. great song.
Immajust Someaguya haha cool

Really amazing and beautiful work from Years & Years. And there videos are truly great. Inspiration for me, for-sure for my next videos.
***** This is one of those songs that you just go outside and stare at how beautiful the world can be.
***** I totally agree
***** Thats what happens when you make it in the music industry. They play your music non stop.
***** Lol you are truly the first person to make that joke.
***** Yeah. hes 24 acutally.
Communion is perfect, but this sing is life, this song is everything ❤️😭
Years & Years is my favorit band ❤️🌈🦄

And I love YEARS&YEARS IS MY FAVORITE BAND
First Artist I've ever been just completely in love with. Amazing music. ❤️
Were you just born? There are a billion artists out there with great music!
+Aaron Alam he really didn't , people have different opinions
+Sammy lee oml xD
agreed!
Chris Smalldini Yeah, but this person's opinion was 'I've NEVER heard good music. This is the first piece i've ever heard I've liked" That's a LONG time to live an existance never hearing one piece of music that has ever entertained you!
I love the way he sings "recovered" 😩 what a voice
Somehow Olly's voice sounds 10x better when I'm watching him sing
Omggg, thats soooo trueee
So true
OMG SO TRUE

I can never get bored of this song. I love it so much : )

I became a fan since 2014
This takes me to when I was 16-17 hoping for someone to save me from living with my dad.
He'd constantly beat me up and I tried escaping everytime I could. I tried dating behind his back but everyone I met would be 'too good to be true'.
This song was like
"my boyfriend song "
from me to me.
I always craved for a love like this.
I was the most vulnerable during this time.
Today im 25, I'm married and have a beautiful daughter .
I actually have someone who loves me , who cares about me, who actually isn't obsessed and wanted to find me.
This song brings tears to my eyes everytime.
I haven't showed him this song because im much to afraid to cry or to show how truly vulnerable I am .
Hubby, if you ever see this comment.
Ive been hurting for the longest time and
1:08
" it is you that I've waiting to find"
I truly hope we stay together forever for I will try my best to be redefine myself every day
🌸 Years & Years ✨Shine✨
[Verse 1]
I remember us alone
Waiting for the light to go
Don't you feel that hunger?
I've got so many secrets to show
When I saw you on that stage
I shivered with the look you gave
Don't you hear that rhythm?
Can you show me how we can escape?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooo
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooo
[Pre-Chorus]
I was biting my tongue
I was trying to hide
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooo
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooo
I'll forget what I've done
I will be redefined
[Chorus]
It's shaking the sky, and I'm following lightning
And I'll recover if you keep me alight
Don't leave me behind
Can you see me? I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find
[Post-Chorus]
I'm holding it all tonight
Unfolding it all tonight
You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've been waiting to find
I'm holding it all tonight
Unfolding it all tonight
You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've been waiting to find
[Verse 2]
Now that we can hear that sound
Now that you can hold me down
You can pull me under
You can raise everything to the ground
Everything I can arrange
Every part of me you change
Just hold me together
Tell me you'll always want me to stay
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooo
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooo
[Pre-Chorus]
I was biting my tongue
I was trying to hide
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooo
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooo
I'll forget what I've done
I will be redefined
[Chorus]
It's shaking the sky and I'm following lightning
And I'll recover if you keep me alight
Don't leave me behind
Can you see me? I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find
[Bridge]
I wanna be the one you steal
I wanna be the one you shield
I wanna be the one that your love
That your love can heal
I wanna be the one you steal
I wanna be the one you shield
I wanna be the one that your love, that your love 💕
[Chorus]
It's shaking the sky and I'm following lightning
And I'll recover if you keep me alight
Don't leave me behind
Can you see me? I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find
I'm holding it all tonight.....tonight
Unfolding it all tonight......tonight
You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've been waiting to find
I'm holding it all tonight......tonight
Unfolding it all tonight......tonight
You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've been waiting to find
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooo.....tonight
It's you that I've been waiting to find
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooo.....tonight
It's you that I've been waiting to find 💕💗💖✨

This song unlocked nostalgic memories I had no idea I even had. Been hearing Years&Years songs for all these years (no pun intended) and I never even knew their names. I miss this era of pop music. 1996-2015 was truly the best
Olly has absolutely amazing singing voice 😊
I could listen to this for years and years :D
Sonicfellow76 2288 Smooth(!)
wow haha
i see what you did there ((;
Kl
It's been years and years since this song came out
It reminds me of my past
It's a sin It's not played more often. 😆
For some reason, I'm new here. Don't know why I haven't heard these songs before lol
Is he the only member or is there a group
It's a group x
Oh he's gay too :3
+cookie pookie V so? what's that got to do with any thing?
Jason Payne Nothing, I was just adding some information... There's nothing bad with being gay.. sorry..
+cookie pookie V He's more than likely a bottom :3
Olly has an addictive voice
