Youth is one of those songs that you can't stop listening to. The moment it ends and you go to look for another video or leave it be, the urge to listen to it again itches at you over and over again till its time to do something else, but the song will be in your head till you listen to it again and you get that urge again and it repeats over and over and over and over
Hey man same here bro lost my parents when I was 11 my grandma takes care of me to this day she's everything I have I just dont want to lose her :'( it sucks man stay strong bro hope ur doing fine best wishes
This song makes me think of my dad who committed suicide and that he wouldn’t want me to live like this and be sad, be happy and go on. It’s like he’s singing it to me because I only have my mother left. I have his blue eyes too, it really hits me in the feels I love this song!
My dad died the same way and I've also got his blue eyes, it's recently been 5 years. keep your head up, if you hold on to thinking things will get better they will. you're not alone, remember him. keep it up, you've got a whole lotta people rooting for you.
I’m a veteran and had to leave my son alone with my wife for months at a time and he always had my eyes. I’m glad I could make it back and have music like this to enjoy and get some perspective on other peoples lives and situations. I only saw the music video and couldn’t really make out most of the lyrics. Glad I looked them up; thank you for posting. Don’t take life for granted guys. Fight for what makes you happy. I love you Glass Animals ❤️
I feel like this song is about parents who died from an accident or war and this is their last message to the children they loved and have to leave behind. Therefore a lot of children raised in a single parent home could relate. This song almost feels like a goodbye letter giving their loved ones hope.
1 I want you 2 be happy 3 to run, get dizzy on caffeine 4 the friends that make you laugh and maybe you’re just a little bit dappy *deep breath* **5!**
QuitoNeko I think they did it on purpose, very clever If you’re confused, go back and listen to the clip again. You’ll see it sounds like they’re counting
my adhd makes it really hard to consciously process stuff like lyrics, and I never understood why I always felt so bittersweet when I listened to this song until now. bless glass animals for portraying this song meaning so well
Omg I could never make out what he was saying before and now that I see the lyrics the music video makes so much sense and it's so beautiful omg I'm gonna die
I got this song recommended by someone I met on discord, they said it made them feel a sombre way of calm, hopeful. I wish you all the best, kittygirl.
I just realized that there’s a story behind this song and Mamas Gun. In Mamas Gun, the mother is a psycho and she killed the father. In this song, the father is speaking to the little boy and the little boy is sad that his dad is gone.
A lot of people are taking the “more than a life lost in the war” bit rather literally, implying that the boy’s father may be dead, but I like to think it’s a reference to the “war on drugs” in the US. Maybe this family was poor and the dad starting using/selling drugs to get by, and eventually got caught and sent to prison for a long time. Thus leaving behind a low-income single mother who knows her son couldn’t make it in the ghetto, so she gives him up for adoption in hopes that he’ll at least have a better chance in life than his parents. :( God this song still haunts me emotionally years later... It’s so optimistic in tone but so very mournful under the surface.
I love this song my older brother who I was super close to he was my best friend and passed away last year I miss him Soo much even though some days are hard he's still next to me Fly high Mikey! ❤️🕊️
My mum's got covid rn and my dad's sick too and i feel so alone rn with so many other things happening. I needed this. I dont feel alone while crying anymore
@Rylee Barnes I think that's what goes through my cats head, she eats our fucking plants. Like, literal consumption of the plant. (She has ate a sum of our bonsai, bamboo, money plant and ripped out my aloe vera, tho I love her to pieces still. She's just an oddball.)
@Rylee Barnes It is infact what they'll eat. Though, keep the centipedes away from them. I'm pretty sure it can impact their health. Certain spiders can't be consumed, many beetles are okay but still not any big beetles. (Small black beetles are okay) Moths? All of em can be consumed as far as I know. Mosquitoes are best not to be eaten. My cats kinda just paw at any bugs, but we rarely have bugs come in because we barrier spray every year. (Big jugs of multi-insect killer, spray it around windows, doors and any suspicious crevices) Edit: and yes. Weird cats are best cats.
This takes me back to 2017 , going to Brooklyn all the way to jersey . Sometimes I think 2017/2016/2015 wasn’t that long about but we are more than 5 years since that time . A lot has changed since that time . But this takes me back so much
My best friend and her brother lost both their parents unexpectedly. She takes care of her brother who has autism. When I finally listened to the lyrics, I picture their dad telling his son that even though he and mom are gone, he is in good hands with his sister and he will be happy and everything will be alright.
when i was a kid i lost my dad to cancer. i was really close with him and losing him hit me really hard, i don't think i ever truly recovered from it. people always tell me i have my dad's eyes. every time i hear this song i feel a little closer to him.
This song is POWER... what an amazing band and sound... one of a kind... GOD THIS IS FKN SICK... LIFE LOVE AND ROCKERS... PURE MADNESS GENIUS OF A SONG. I COULD AND DO LISTEN AT LEAST 50X A DAY.. SICK
same, It's the mother by your side part in the chorus that gets me. Plus, there's no adorable little boy to lighten up the whole song lol. Just hard Lyrics and Feels.
I felt it so bad, like a letter to my young self, it’s so crazy how a bad memory can chance you while life, both my parents are now death, but they give the hell of a fight jaja.
anyone else from the bluestar MAP? i mean i found this myself but i heard it there first and didn't seek it out after that i didn't even realize this was the song from the MAP until i listened and was immediately ecstatic
Me: *Relaxing while listening to this song. Me: *Starts thinking of memes. Youth (Glass Animals): *Roblox O O F* Me: *Jerks awake. What? Youth (Glass Animals): *Markiplier E* *What?*
I just realized that the little boy in Youth might be dead. Since in song it says "You were clearly meant for more, than a life lost in a war." so maybe he died in some war? This is just a guess btw.
Youth was based on "a devastating story" a woman told them about her son while they were on tour. They said she was cleary sad, but happy to reminisce and had a calm hopefulness. What I got from it was a mother that was heartbroken to be absent for her son's childhood when she gave him up for adoption. This woman might also be the lover left behind in Other Side of Paradise.
Maybe he's singing this song to older self? That's why it's called "youth" maybe? And then he says "boy, I want you to be happy" he's addressing him self? Or something like that. It is also possible that it's the song to younger self.
@@NaruTheBlackSwan I rather guess "a soul lost in a war" referrs to being a child in a broken relationship between mother and father. Not knowing who to stick with. The father left (or died) and sings this to his son, who is with his mother now.
thank you for letting me understand this song .... now i can feel every word in this song that describe my life ..... but can you just give the fonts that you used i just want to add some words to complete it
Here's to the dude I like right now, I took 2 hours to draw him, and he's staying the night at his boyfriend's house the day he said we'd hang out.. I just want to make him happy cause a lot of shit happens with him and his boyfriend, he can't live without him if anything happens, so I have to be the mediator to smooth things out.. God if he could only see past him..

I got in trouble for listening to this or the song gooey in the car. Idk why. My grandma said "DO U EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY SAY?!" I was like "noooo???" She said "YOU SHOULD NOT LISTEN TO THIS!!!" but literally my mom would listen to sex mental barbie.. I love this song so much!
I finally got to hear this song live! Will always love it, thank you Glass Animals :')

i lost both of my parents before i turned 13 and this song makes me think of my mom, like this is something she would say to me
I’m very sorry, I hope things get better
you poor thing!!!
Hey man same here bro lost my parents when I was 11 my grandma takes care of me to this day she's everything I have I just dont want to lose her :'( it sucks man stay strong bro hope ur doing fine best wishes

lord_bjorns bless your soul brother.
I don't know why, but I'm in love with this song. And at the same time I feel like crying everytime I listen to it.
Relatable af

should be recognised
I've... never actually paid attention to the lyrics of this song. This is actually really beautiful and kinda sad. Wow.
1 I want you
2 be happy
3 to run, get dizzy on caffeine
4 the friends that make you laugh and maybe you’re just a little bit dappy
*deep breath*
**5!**
Thats EXACTLY what i thought i was
Wait-- wha... this was so confusing for me to read I-
that's exactly what I heard the first few times i listened to this song
QuitoNeko I think they did it on purpose, very clever
If you’re confused, go back and listen to the clip again. You’ll see it sounds like they’re counting
Oh they 1000% did this on purpose
that chorus is the most addictive thing to listen to i swear
my adhd makes it really hard to consciously process stuff like lyrics, and I never understood why I always felt so bittersweet when I listened to this song until now. bless glass animals for portraying this song meaning so well
This song is euphoric, nostalgic and everything in between. Music done right
Omg I could never make out what he was saying before and now that I see the lyrics the music video makes so much sense and it's so beautiful omg I'm gonna die
Jerry n same i love this song
Same here 😆
MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY RN
Same!!!!
It makes me sad and happy at the same time
I got this song recommended by someone I met on discord, they said it made them feel a sombre way of calm, hopeful. I wish you all the best, kittygirl.
I swear ever time they said “FLY” I thought they said “FIRE”
XD same lol
FIRE *star*
@@sapphirerose5139 bruh, did you have to ruin it.
I heard 'Fly High'

Dude, this song makes me want to cry everytime i listen to it because i imagine my mother leaving me everytime I listen to this.
thanks for making this video! I'm just getting into glass animals haha
wow, thanks so much! sorry for replying late, but this is very kind, thank you :) (and yes, they're so amazing!!!)
I just realized that there’s a story behind this song and Mamas Gun.
In Mamas Gun, the mother is a psycho and she killed the father.
In this song, the father is speaking to the little boy and the little boy is sad that his dad is gone.
I originally thought this song was about children who got separated from their mothers
Stop making assumptions
Hector Carlos stfu just listen to the songs idiot
Hector Carlos and plus I’m just making a theory
Statue Of Liberty right..bc the son wants to be with the dad. Not the mom.That's why the next lyric is "Don't you know you got my eyes" smh
A lot of people are taking the “more than a life lost in the war” bit rather literally, implying that the boy’s father may be dead, but I like to think it’s a reference to the “war on drugs” in the US. Maybe this family was poor and the dad starting using/selling drugs to get by, and eventually got caught and sent to prison for a long time. Thus leaving behind a low-income single mother who knows her son couldn’t make it in the ghetto, so she gives him up for adoption in hopes that he’ll at least have a better chance in life than his parents. :(
God this song still haunts me emotionally years later... It’s so optimistic in tone but so very mournful under the surface.
God, the part when he said war was just..so pretty
I love this song my older brother who I was super close to he was my best friend and passed away last year I miss him Soo much even though some days are hard he's still next to me Fly high Mikey! ❤️🕊️
My mum's got covid rn and my dad's sick too and i feel so alone rn with so many other things happening. I needed this. I dont feel alone while crying anymore

Lmao bruh why'd you deepfry all the images of flowers
Matt Kim they wanted fries

Tastes better
@Rylee Barnes I think that's what goes through my cats head, she eats our fucking plants. Like, literal consumption of the plant.
(She has ate a sum of our bonsai, bamboo, money plant and ripped out my aloe vera, tho I love her to pieces still. She's just an oddball.)
@Rylee Barnes It is infact what they'll eat. Though, keep the centipedes away from them. I'm pretty sure it can impact their health.
Certain spiders can't be consumed, many beetles are okay but still not any big beetles. (Small black beetles are okay)
Moths? All of em can be consumed as far as I know.
Mosquitoes are best not to be eaten.

This takes me back to 2017 , going to Brooklyn all the way to jersey . Sometimes I think 2017/2016/2015 wasn’t that long about but we are more than 5 years since that time . A lot has changed since that time . But this takes me back so much
I never payed attention to the words. I was just playing fifa and enjoyed the music.
But now when i read the words i cant stop crying.
Thank you for making this video man!
I really can't stop listening to it!
My best friend and her brother lost both their parents unexpectedly. She takes care of her brother who has autism. When I finally listened to the lyrics, I picture their dad telling his son that even though he and mom are gone, he is in good hands with his sister and he will be happy and everything will be alright.
My cousin showed me this and ever since I have loved and got so immersed into it
Loll same here!
A remix with this song and Sweater Weather I feel would go well but idk
That sounds really good..
who's gonna do it
@ me when someone does it
when i was a kid i lost my dad to cancer. i was really close with him and losing him hit me really hard, i don't think i ever truly recovered from it. people always tell me i have my dad's eyes. every time i hear this song i feel a little closer to him.
I love this track from How To Be A Human Being album 2016.
Great song for when you loose a parent
This song is POWER... what an amazing band and sound... one of a kind... GOD THIS IS FKN SICK... LIFE LOVE AND ROCKERS... PURE MADNESS GENIUS OF A SONG. I COULD AND DO LISTEN AT LEAST 50X A DAY.. SICK
Nice flowers 😃
My brother recently passed and this song reminds me of what he'd say to his son if he had a chance ❤
everytime i listen to this, I always end up crying
whenever i watch he original video i'm fine but when i watch the lyric videos i cry
same, It's the mother by your side part in the chorus that gets me. Plus, there's no adorable little boy to lighten up the whole song lol. Just hard Lyrics and Feels.
I listen to this and Black Mambo so much, I'm surprised I haven't burned it out yet.
Same but this and gooey
I felt it so bad, like a letter to my young self, it’s so crazy how a bad memory can chance you while life, both my parents are now death, but they give the hell of a fight jaja.
Even a song can make you feel you have a mother or love for some minutes.
Only just found this again, how did I forget ... Feeling REUNITED 😂✌🏼
anyone else from the bluestar MAP?
i mean i found this myself but i heard it there first and didn't seek it out after that
i didn't even realize this was the song from the MAP until i listened and was immediately ecstatic
Yep. That's also how I found this song
I found the MAP, then heard this song in a mall and I just HAD to search it up. No regrets.
Frrrriiiiccckkkk. This is such a great song and it fits a fic of mine perfectly.

I just wanted to be a cool kid. Now I have emotions.
Same.
This is probably the best song of all time!
This is like my fav song but every time I hear it it feels sad yet I have lost no one it just feels like someone is slowly dying.
Just reminds me of Fifa so Much ;)
Song of the year
Ima make a Scourge map with this, thanks!
I do this thing where I listen to the same song for a week. Started with heat waves, then Gooey, now youth.
this is disturbingly underrated
how does this vid almost have 1m views but the guy who posted it only has about 600 subs?
Thank you so much for making the lyrics!!!
My dad died before I was born on my sister's b day driving to her party back in 1989. I'd like to believe these lyrics are something he'd say to me
I LOVE THIS
This song really reminds me of my grandparents both gone from lung cancer.
I love this song
Me: *Relaxing while listening to this song.
Me: *Starts thinking of memes.
Youth (Glass Animals): *Roblox O O F*
Me: *Jerks awake.
What?
Youth (Glass Animals): *Markiplier E*
*What?*
I just realized that the little boy in Youth might be dead. Since in song it says "You were clearly meant for more, than a life lost in a war." so maybe he died in some war? This is just a guess btw.
I take it that the father is the one that died in a war, and the song is from his perspective.
Youth was based on "a devastating story" a woman told them about her son while they were on tour. They said she was cleary sad, but happy to reminisce and had a calm hopefulness.
What I got from it was a mother that was heartbroken to be absent for her son's childhood when she gave him up for adoption. This woman might also be the lover left behind in Other Side of Paradise.
Maybe he's singing this song to older self? That's why it's called "youth" maybe? And then he says "boy, I want you to be happy" he's addressing him self? Or something like that. It is also possible that it's the song to younger self.
And "don't you know you got my eyes" means that he still has same morals or dreams... Or something like that. I dunno 😅
@@NaruTheBlackSwan I rather guess "a soul lost in a war" referrs to being a child in a broken relationship between mother and father. Not knowing who to stick with. The father left (or died) and sings this to his son, who is with his mother now.
Nice song
1:56 is it really 'Funny friends' or is it 'Find friends'
I think 'Find friends that make you happy' makes more sense?
bruh i finally came back to this song in i cant remember anything from the time i listened to this except for the song help?
This cures my depression
Wtf the lyrics are so sad and happy at the same time. What do I feel?!
0:50 I always thought they said “finally friends” not “funny friends”
This song makes me remember something but I can't remember what I remember...
This song makes me sad because i don't have anything mentioned in the video. Happiness, free will, friends
Perfectly said, exactly that.
Awsome 💙
this song reminds me of Keith and Krolia
same!
This is so fucking cool i love the background it's so weird but beautiful😍
This reminds me of someone that was close to but they are gone now...
best song
me: hey can I get top surgery
FTM surgeons: 3:06
this is my song thanx for the lyrics
Fifa 17 brought me here ❤️❤️
FEEEEEEELLLSSS!!!!!
sometimes i hear "they dont know im right at your side" except "feel your mother at your side"
makes me think of my mother T_T ill always miss you mom i wish i got to know you
You've got her eyes.
thank you for letting me understand this song .... now i can feel every word in this song that describe my life ..... but can you just give the fonts that you used i just want to add some words to complete it
Ngl i thought the "Fly" part was "Fire", i Also thought the "Feel your mother at your side" was "Feel my rage inside"
This song touched me you honor. 😭😭😭 holy shit I need to go lay down. What is this feeling?
i always think he's singing "fly high" instead of just "fly"
Here's to the dude I like right now, I took 2 hours to draw him, and he's staying the night at his boyfriend's house the day he said we'd hang out..
I just want to make him happy cause a lot of shit happens with him and his boyfriend, he can't live without him if anything happens, so I have to be the mediator to smooth things out.. God if he could only see past him..
Why am I crying?
makes me feel a lot
"you'll be happy all the time"
why must you lie to me :')
Oh wowser! Luv u guys some of u guys are nice XD
why does this remind me of my own youth? ;-;
Kids: Heat waves
Men: Youth
What font did you use for the lyrics? I'd love to know!
i used Bodoni MT for the lyrics, and Bodoni MT Poster Compressed for the title!
It’s funny how a happy song can still be sad
DARN INVISIBLE NINJAS!

Stranger-Cats Thank you😊
I think this is weird fire paw was fire heart at that time
King Namor 777 Aww, I love that 😊 Also, I believe there's actually a MAP of this song for Bluestar, so that fits 😆
But blue star goes insane and doesn't have faith in anyone
Fly high
this would be something my past happy self would tell me
Man I wanna be loved.
I seriously thought they were counting in the chorus
I got in trouble for listening to this or the song gooey in the car. Idk why. My grandma said "DO U EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY SAY?!" I was like "noooo???" She said "YOU SHOULD NOT LISTEN TO THIS!!!" but literally my mom would listen to sex mental barbie..
I love this song so much!
No thoughts. Just Itachi and Sasuke
Crying
