22.000.000 isnt anything for youtube, also i can click this vid and leave after 3 seconds and stills counts. Nobody talks about the group so yes they are underrated. Actually I only discovered it because Spotifiy put it as related to Kodaline.
Lyrics Life's too short to even care at all oh I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh oh oh oh oh A wet world aches for a beat of a drum, oh If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away To some fortune that I, I should have found by now I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down Life's too short to even care at all oh I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue oh These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart oh oh oh oh A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away To some fortune that I, I should have found by now And so I run to the things they said could restore me Restore life the way it should be I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down Life's too short to even care at all oh I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away To some fortune that I, I should have found by now And so I run to the things they said could restore me Restore life the way it should be I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa
As soon as I remember the melody Nostalgia hits me so hard, it flows through my veins, all the memories, every tiny detail, even the smell of the certain time.. It just comes clearly to my eyes. I can’t describe how beautiful feeling then again sad, since those are now very distant memories, no way of reliving it.
This is life. Your entire moments go by never to return. Wait till you have children. They grow up never to be children ever again. Oh the sadness of it.
I know exactly what you're talking about. A song brings everything back to me often. Let the knowledge that you're making new memories just like those you miss so much right now whether you know it or not. Even if the songs bring everything back from a time that was dark for me, I still get those very feelings you're describing. We're making new ones right now.
Upbeat songs with dark lyrics are my jam rn, can you suggest some music like this one? (I'm still adding the songs that you're suggesting so keep on commenting)
S.A. Nyx are you really saying he should have killed himself? Yes of course in the beginning i hated him too for bullying Kurt but my opinion of him changed. He has in my opinion one of the greatest character developments on the show. He was really struggling emotionally and hating himself and although that is of course no reason whatsoever to bully someone, i can kind of understand him. I am so glad that he was able to accept himself after some time because I know how difficult and sad it can be to hate oneself.
I heard it on a now defunct radio station, about 8 years ago. This, Mumford and sons, black keys, awol nation, fun., and of monsters and men. I liked that music.
This song, Makes me think of all my life's experiences that brought me to this point in my life. Makes me think of people that hurt me and people that I've hurt. Makes me think how insignificant we are.
funny how fast time goes by when you've lost all motivation to do anything. days turn into weeks, weeks into months, and before I realise it, another year goes by.
I have diagnosed depression and anxiety and sometimes what harms me the most is actually blocking my feelings. It's incredible how this particular song actually helps me to feel and deal with whatever it is that I'm going through. I can not even measure in words how much this song means to me. Jeeee
I was also diagnosed with depression and anxiety, coincidentally last night I had an anxiety attack that almost did not end in tragedy. listen to this song all day you have no idea what to me I relax.
I feel you and let me tell you that you all are not alone. Just keep having faith and everything will go just trust yourself and still learn everyday to love your self keep going!
Every single person reading this. I love you and you matter. Life is almost impossible sometimes but life is better for having you in it. Peace and love
No offense but you don't know a single thing about me, why do you love me? You don't. I understand that you are trying to help but lies like this just make me not trust anyone and want to die more...
This song really reminds of a book I read called the last leaves falling. Don’t waste your time guys we all only have so much time and one life. There are a lot of people who reach the finish line before us and we should appreciate that we are healthy and and still have a while.
One of my favorite songs of all time. The tune, rhythm, meaning, and length are perfect. This song used to play on my favorite radio station about three years ago during a much better, simpler time. I wish I could go back to it, but listening to this, Sound of Winter, and Shake Me Down are as close as I get. Sadly, that radio station got shut down and replaced with a country station (like our 6th fuckin country station) so now we have no rock/alternative stations.

I nearly jumped a month ago. I’ve nearly done that 5 times now. I just come here to break down and cry, it’s the only thing that makes me cry anymore. I self-harmed two days ago. I know I need to stop now. I need to heal. I’m going to go to the doctors soon and get help. I hope to recover soon. I love this song and anyone who relates to it like I do
We're seeing hope for self healing and self love yes? Just know in your heart that everyday is a progress and all of the work that you will be putting in yourself will be a life journey : ) Start small even by just acknowledging that you're doing the best you can to move forward each day. Being kind to yourself can take you in a long run right? Hope you're eating right and drinking enough water : ) Much love and hope for your life ❤🙌
Yo can do it. You can heal. Remember that it always gets better. It's so great to read that you finally don't jump. I hope you don't try it again. I don't know you but i wish you the best.
there are so many different theories as to what this song is about and I really love it. they're all so deep and meaningful and I love how everyone has a different perception of the lyrics.
I'm not sure about the true meaning of this song. but somehow I find it relevant to my situation, at the age of 19 I don't know what I want, and I don't know what I want for my future, and I just feel lost, and feel that my life is going no where, I hope that once the cough syrup goes down, I can clearly see what I want, and see my true purpose.
Dixie Flores you'll find it, just give it some time and keep listening to YTG. They'll help you figure it out. They help me everyday, good luck in life.
When I was your age and younger I and everyone I knew and hung out with for any time, was incredibly jaded toward...well..everything. I don't know now why I refused to give a single solitary fuck about anything back then, least of all my future. I guess I just assumed that I wouldn't be around in that future. It's strange. Even though I did major damage to my body and mind from drug abuse without a thought to co sequences, I don't mind it so much. I just find if strange. I'm here to tell you that I am almost 36 and I have yet to find my purpose in life. I don't have a direction and I guess that is okay B.
I love this song. So nostalgic, and genuinely amazing. "And so I run now to the things they say could restore me, restore life the way it should be" absolutely never fail to get me hyped. Such an underrated band
This song is wonderful! I've been stressing a lot regarding the fact that I always have a lot of homework from school. I find the need to be grateful to be living right now where I have potential to improve from my mistakes and flaws, which everyone has, and know what I can want to do will be accomplished later on in life. Hope everyone sees a bright future in their lives because I am getting there! 😊
It’s sad because I love the way that Blaine sings the song and I want to add it to my playlist but I just can’t. Every time I hear that song i can picture this scene in my mind and it always just makes me so sad 😭
A cousin of mine who recently pasted loved this song, I've only known him for a few years before but I believe that the bond you have with someone isn't effected by the amount of time you've spent with them. He was such an amazing person that touched every person he met. I truly believe that he was ment to change the world. Every time I hear this song I tear up thinking of all the things he won't be able to do and all the things I won't be able to say to him. I know this might sound empty and impersonal but tell the people you love how much they mean to you. Tell them how much they mean to you, because one day you won't be able to. Thank you for reading, I love you Josh. You'll always be in our hearts and on our minds.
I heard this song a long time ago but only once. I’ve forever tried finding the song because it held a meaning to me. Finally found it after all these years and I’ve realized what its meaning meant to me. Cherish life while your young
Currently listening for the first time in a while with my window open smelling the cold outdoors. It's such a good combination. Something about it makes me want to cry.
I recently lost my best friend, lost my family, my future plans are failing and the peoples i trust the most are telling me that I can never be good like them, they are telling me i can never be powerful like them. And here i am listening this song for the 200th time. I really don't know what to do but every time I hear "life is too short to even care at all" part I feel something deep down inside. Giving me strength to look at my way and move on. Thank you for this beautiful song. I hope things get better for me. (Sorry if i did wrong in grammer or something. English is not my mother tongue)
I've just heard this song for the 100th time. I clearly remember how Cough syrup caught my attention in 2012 and when I rediscovered it I felt so good. But just now I've really understood what the lyrics really mean, or at last to me. Just when you feel the same way you can realize how much pain is hidden in the song. Sometimes I feel lost and my head seems bumping to me, my thoughts are not clear and my heart beats like a damn drum, and I ask myself what I've done in my life and how bad will my future be. People around me don't notice it, but I feel broken. Then I get out of the blue but I know that when the sun sets everything is gonna come back. Maybe you can also feel everybody is judging you, the heartless zombies that don't understand pain and bad deep thoughts.
Personally, I think the following lyrics are probably one of the best written sections ever: "So I run right to the things they say can restore me, restore life the way it should be". The way it is paced, sang and presented fits SOOO PERFECTLY, it should be a song in itself. Damn I love this band!
@@MoonlapseOpethianNice connection you made, never looked at it like that, does make sense. Stick to the good stuff dude, hope you can break free 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I know you are probably annoyed by seeing these comments like, “who’s here from...” but I forgot about this original version. I heard it when I was watching Glee. It made me cry my eyes out. So here I am. And anyone who is reading this comment and is feeling worthless or not good enough, I love you, you have a purpose, keep living. Despite this world being kinda messed up, there are so many other amazing things in life that we still have yet to experience.
Even in the depths of misery and suffering can you find resounding beauty. Life is about recognizing the silver-lining, letting go and moving on to your next chapter.
Scrolling back through my old pictures talking to my younger self, this song was one of my old captions in 2015, I used to listen to this on repeat as a teenager lol And wow, I really brought this song back to myself when I needed it.❤ I'm in tears I really understand now
This song changed my life years ago. Thank you Young the Giant. I understand no one has any idea whether what I'm about to say is real or fake, but... I'm a living example of things can get better, never surrender. Thank you for reading. Take care. Peace.
I love so much this song, I heard for first time when I was in Canada and my departure flight was at 11:00 pm, and I decided to stay with strangers and to live a new experiences in Vancouver, each time when I listened this song I remember that I can take the desicion of do anything and will be all right.
Life is too short to not care at all. I love this song. Hearing it brings you into the dark of sad and somehow makes you realize how dark sad is and wants you want to BE again. It's a hard balance.
Life's too short to even care at all, oh I'm losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control These fishes in the sea, they're staring at me oh oh Oh oh oh oh A wet world aches for a beat of a drum Oh [Chorus 1] If I could find a way to see this straight I'd run away To some fortune that I should have found by now I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down [Verse 2] Life's too short to even care at all, oh I'm coming up now, coming up now out of the blue, oh These zombies in the park, they're looking for my heart Oh oh oh oh A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh [Chorus 2] If I could find a way to see this straight I'd run away To some fortune that I should have found by now And so I run now to the things they said could restore me Restore life the way it should be I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down Life's too short to even care at all, oh I'm losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control [Chorus 2] If I could find a way to see this straight I'd run away To some fortune that I should have found by now So I run now to the things they said could restore me Restore life the way it should be I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down [Outro] One more spoon of cough syrup now, oh One more spoon of cough syrup now, oh
This song has affected me in so many ways that I can’t explain. There’s so much going on , my ex leaving , parents arguing , suicidal thoughts. I’ve never been such a mess in my life. And this song brings something out in me that no words can express what brings out . “Losing my mind losing my mind losing control” is what I’m feeling with my ex leaving me , I’m losing myself because of her , she saw me through my ups and downs. Now that she left I feel alone and without anyone. Had plans for the future and to realize she can possibly find someone new and restart her love life breaks me so much. If you’re reading this I hope you’re doing alright !
Bro these things won’t mean shit to you in ten years, probably even sooner than that. But please seek professional help if you’re experiencing suicidal ideation. Nip that in the bud while you’re young
I come to this song everytime I lose hope in my life, people, humanity whatever you wanna call it... This was my soundtrack when I was dealing with depression and my numbness wouldn't even make me feel anything at all
I’m now 26 and enjoy this song more than ever because my housemate played it after many years of not knowing it’s name! Thank you Aiden! Love you ma boy 💯🫡
To all the people who are in mourning for the loss of a loved one, to all the people who suffer from depression and like me are having a difficult day, do not give up, do not let the mind win us.
This is probably the second time I've heard this song today and I already feel like I'm going to cry again. It's not the song itself It reminds me of something that I hold very dear to my heart and just hearing this makes me remember it.
I first heard this song when it was a few years old and I was like 19. I’ll be 28 in 11 days. My, how the time has flown. Sitting in my virtual office my brain said “I’m waiting for this cough syrup to go down” and instantly I’m 19 again. Not old enough to be at a bar, so lost and scared. My god how far I’ve come. Here’s to 28 🎉
@@simplyselina IM SORRY IM LATE BUT I HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT BIRTHDAYYYYY I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE BECAUSE YOU DESERVE EVERY GOOD THING THAT COMES YOUR WAYYYY
was 22 when randomly listening to this very song. im 32 now. feel young as ever, only job and other responsibilities makin my body feels old. Good ol' times. Happy to stumbled upon this song again. Never thought i used to be energetic, foolish young and daring.
This song is so powerful, it reminds me so much of my life in highschool (it was weed not cough syrup I was using to get out of a suicidal position, but there was always one more after the last)
this song always reminds me of Skins. I don't even know why, I don't think it was even in the program. I just think it really sums up the show as a whole. c:
It seems wrong, but every time I hear this song, I can only think about death in an expected way...? Kind of like you know that you're going to die, but it's okay somehow, because people you love are going down with you, and you're enjoying whatever is left of life as you know it. This song will forever make me cry though, it's too upsetting and beautiful at the same time ♡♡♡♡♡
I hear you. Good to listen to but not let it bring you down. They wrote this song when they were broke and about to give up. Lesson learned. They made it. Do not give up. I beat breast cancer as a single mother. You need to keep that chin up!
One of the most underrated bands of the decade
Jose.dlgd this band is treated as a one hit wonder band. This isn't even their best song, by far. 22 million for genius music is severely underrated.
22.000.000 isnt anything for youtube, also i can click this vid and leave after 3 seconds and stills counts. Nobody talks about the group so yes they are underrated. Actually I only discovered it because Spotifiy put it as related to Kodaline.
The only artists that are familiar to a big group of people are pop artists or classic rock artists. It's how it has always worked.
I love these guys but bastille is the most underrated band of the decade
Mesu Isfahany set it off...
i still genuinely think this is one of the best songs i’ve ever heard
My ultimate go to song for life 💚💚💚
I agree always loved this song and this was never really my scene
Same. It really makes me cry, but I love that. I love being able to cry
I cried every minute the first few times
Completely agree
you know that song that makes you feel sad but good, but sad at the same time? this is that one for me
Ngan N. same here! I love it.
Nostalgic?
Yeah, I guess you could be right
Contemplative, regretful, I've been trying to come up with what it's called...
Just like Cough Syrup 😂
This song smells and tastes like tears and comfort with a hint of upcoming calmness
Yup agreed
completely get you!!!
Thank you for putting the feeling into words
Omg so true. Its a threat of incomming calmn!!!
No this song taste like cough syrup
Lyrics
Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh oh oh oh oh
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum, oh
If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down
Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue oh
These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart oh oh oh oh
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh
If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
And so I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
And so I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa
One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa
Neufae thanks for the words mow I can understand this much beter and.mmore Clearer thanks again BLESSED
You are the real mvp
Glee's recreated version was beautiful, angsty and the most heart renching ever on that show, absolutly beautifully kept.
wolfhowlex darrens version was beautifully done
As soon as I remember the melody Nostalgia hits me so hard, it flows through my veins, all the memories, every tiny detail, even the smell of the certain time.. It just comes clearly to my eyes. I can’t describe how beautiful feeling then again sad, since those are now very distant memories, no way of reliving it.
well put. same.
this song reminds me of my first love, that blissful, aching, nostalgic pain
This is life. Your entire moments go by never to return. Wait till you have children. They grow up never to be children ever again. Oh the sadness of it.
I know exactly what you're talking about. A song brings everything back to me often. Let the knowledge that you're making new memories just like those you miss so much right now whether you know it or not. Even if the songs bring everything back from a time that was dark for me, I still get those very feelings you're describing. We're making new ones right now.
Life is about making memories. It's not about reliving them, but having the opportunity to make them and appreciate them in the future.
I will always keep coming back to this masterpiece
It is a crime to be such a boss song
Me too
I touhght it was just me
Also me

It feels so wierd not seeing and hearning Darren Chris singing this..... but honestly I dont know which one i prefer! Both are so good
This song reminds you of those depressed feelings you have deep down inside you and you just wish you could just fix them...you know..
This song touches my soul in a way that no other song ever did. It’s so deep and displays such a broken soul energy. It’s tragic and yet beautiful.
Agree 200%. It’s so special to me.

I'm replying to you so you can hear this song again
niyah w sure
Same
This song... ugh this song. Pure nostalgic, and with every year that goes by its even more special. PURE GOLD.
This song carried me through high school. I’m forever thankful
I'm not sure about the true meaning of this song. but somehow I find it relevant to my situation, at the age of 19 I don't know what I want, and I don't know what I want for my future, and I just feel lost, and feel that my life is going no where, I hope that once the cough syrup goes down, I can clearly see what I want, and see my true purpose.
Dixie Flores you'll find it, just give it some time and keep listening to YTG. They'll help you figure it out. They help me everyday, good luck in life.
its the glitter
+Leonardo Costa Right? Like my first though was just you know drugs... Some good ol' fashion Texas lean lol
+Leonardo Costa delsym is the bomb
When I was your age and younger I and everyone I knew and hung out with for any time, was incredibly jaded toward...well..everything. I don't know now why I refused to give a single solitary fuck about anything back then, least of all my future. I guess I just assumed that I wouldn't be around in that future. It's strange. Even though I did major damage to my body and mind from drug abuse without a thought to co sequences, I don't mind it so much. I just find if strange. I'm here to tell you that I am almost 36 and I have yet to find my purpose in life. I don't have a direction and I guess that is okay B.
This's my comfort song. I'll never stop recommending it ever. Literally the best song in the world.
One of the best songs i've heard in a while
nice pic of Caleb you mustve seen these guys as the opening act lol
Did you know these guys are the opening act for KOL?
Yes, they're on the Mechanical Bull tour along with KOL
Hey Guys I just did a cover for this song! check it out! I hope you enjoy! :D
Why not?
I love this song. So nostalgic, and genuinely amazing. "And so I run now to the things they say could restore me, restore life the way it should be" absolutely never fail to get me hyped. Such an underrated band
When you're looking for a cure to your current bad situation but you know the only cure is time. You must wait for this cough syrup to go down.
deep
Yep Cough syrup team
I really needed to hear this. Thanks Gilbert!
Yeah man, we’re looking for a cure, and we’ve got to wait this out🤙
🙏🏽🙏🏽😘😘
the one song that brings you back to appreciating good music again
right?
true very true
true
and they're all right
everyone thinks they were born in 1958, +/- 5 years.
I love this band lol
Same lol
Saaaame
Is that funny? lol
what you laughing at boy
@@jmadluck laughing at the lol that's all
It's 2023 and bloody hell !!! - this is one of the best songs I have come across in my lifetime...
This song is wonderful! I've been stressing a lot regarding the fact that I always have a lot of homework from school. I find the need to be grateful to be living right now where I have potential to improve from my mistakes and flaws, which everyone has, and know what I can want to do will be accomplished later on in life. Hope everyone sees a bright future in their lives because I am getting there! 😊
If your here from the glee scene of Blaine singing this, you have to agree this makes this song more of a feeling that u need to cry when you hear it
i don't usually cry a lot but my bestfriend committed suicide and I just cried while watching that scene it just really hit home for me
same i’m crying rn
It’s sad because I love the way that Blaine sings the song and I want to add it to my playlist but I just can’t. Every time I hear that song i can picture this scene in my mind and it always just makes me so sad 😭
William Dixon I’m so sorry
William Dixon I feel very bad for you I couldn’t imagine he’s in heaven now I know I sound like everyone else but I’m series I couldn’t imagine
Awesome song! I remember when it first came out. My daughter, who was under one at the time, would just sit on my lap and watch this video
I found this song through someone singing it at karaoke. This is honestly one of the best songs I've ever heard. How heartbreakingly beautiful.
An odd choice for a karaoke song…
This always makes me cry my eyes out. Just hits me in a sensitive spot.
Don't be a jerk
A cousin of mine who recently pasted loved this song, I've only known him for a few years before but I believe that the bond you have with someone isn't effected by the amount of time you've spent with them. He was such an amazing person that touched every person he met. I truly believe that he was ment to change the world. Every time I hear this song I tear up thinking of all the things he won't be able to do and all the things I won't be able to say to him. I know this might sound empty and impersonal but tell the people you love how much they mean to you. Tell them how much they mean to you, because one day you won't be able to.
Thank you for reading, I love you Josh. You'll always be in our hearts and on our minds.
This song made me cry today
I literally want to hit the pause button on life
And listen to this and just cry for hours
Huey Freeman wUt m8
is everything alright?
SpoonsForUnluckyOnes My grandma passed today, I wanted a song to remember her. Bro. I'm crying as I'm writing this.
BradBoo kay dude I'm sorry
+BradBoo kay hope you are doing fine sorry for your lost. but indeed this song is so good a good one to remember your loved one
No matter when, where, why, and what... this song brings a smile to my soul!!!
love this song. i relate it to the time i spent in the hospital after a suicide attempt. lyrically this song is catharsis
Alyssa Whittaker in Glee this song was used for that very purpose
Hope you're fine now. Cheers from Brazil!
Went to a concert Sunday night with my adult daughter! I’m a 60 year old fan now! 🎉❤ whoa ohhh!
I love that u guys are friends even when ur older 😊
@@MissKitten-gt4zb best friends for life! 💕🌟💯
Hey I just saw them with cage the elephant the other night. They almost stole the show. Great performance. Definitely turned me into a fan
@@wecomeinpeace5082 yes I agree! I can’t wait to see them live again! 💯
Rock on!! You’re never to old to rock n roll.
I heard this song a long time ago but only once. I’ve forever tried finding the song because it held a meaning to me. Finally found it after all these years and I’ve realized what its meaning meant to me.
Cherish life while your young
Currently listening for the first time in a while with my window open smelling the cold outdoors. It's such a good combination. Something about it makes me want to cry.
I recently lost my best friend, lost my family, my future plans are failing and the peoples i trust the most are telling me that I can never be good like them, they are telling me i can never be powerful like them. And here i am listening this song for the 200th time. I really don't know what to do but every time I hear "life is too short to even care at all" part I feel something deep down inside. Giving me strength to look at my way and move on. Thank you for this beautiful song. I hope things get better for me. (Sorry if i did wrong in grammer or something. English is not my mother tongue)
You are not alone you got this , okay ur stronger than you think
@@barakaleo4877 thank you

How are you know?
@@esterborrazbarrado1130 everything went well for me after those days. Im much better. Thank you for asking :)
I've just heard this song for the 100th time. I clearly remember how Cough syrup caught my attention in 2012 and when I rediscovered it I felt so good. But just now I've really understood what the lyrics really mean, or at last to me. Just when you feel the same way you can realize how much pain is hidden in the song. Sometimes I feel lost and my head seems bumping to me, my thoughts are not clear and my heart beats like a damn drum, and I ask myself what I've done in my life and how bad will my future be. People around me don't notice it, but I feel broken. Then I get out of the blue but I know that when the sun sets everything is gonna come back. Maybe you can also feel everybody is judging you, the heartless zombies that don't understand pain and bad deep thoughts.
yeah dxm is pretty crazy
everyone feels pain, my dude. you’re not special enough to call everyone else “heartless zombies”
I can relate to this :(
There is someone who loves you, no matter what you go through.
This is the best analysis of this song I've ever read. Soul-achingly accurate. Well done.
I can’t believe this is almost 10 years old. Still a jam
12 years now:(
Personally, I think the following lyrics are probably one of the best written sections ever:
"So I run right to the things they say can restore me, restore life the way it should be".
The way it is paced, sang and presented fits SOOO PERFECTLY, it should be a song in itself.
Damn I love this band!
To me this represents recovery from addiction.
@@MoonlapseOpethianNice connection you made, never looked at it like that, does make sense. Stick to the good stuff dude, hope you can break free 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Where has this been for the past 5 years??? This is a fucking amazing song and I'm just hearing it now
man i totally agree you
The world needs more music like this.
I know you are probably annoyed by seeing these comments like, “who’s here from...” but I forgot about this original version. I heard it when I was watching Glee. It made me cry my eyes out. So here I am. And anyone who is reading this comment and is feeling worthless or not good enough, I love you, you have a purpose, keep living. Despite this world being kinda messed up, there are so many other amazing things in life that we still have yet to experience.
Agreed!
es un hermoso comentario, sanador...felicidad infinita...y fuerza para seguir...
There is hope in Jesus Christ no matter how far you may be from God you can still find Him ❤
This made me cry
meee toooo
Even in the depths of misery and suffering can you find resounding beauty. Life is about recognizing the silver-lining, letting go and moving on to your next chapter.
You know one of those songs that like speak to your soul and like describes your life, this is my song
I can’t explain how much I love this song. Definitely has a bit of an 80’s vibe to it. Loved Matthew Schuyler singing it on the Voice🥰
Foi lá q conheci
where has this song been all my life
with rihanna
LITERALLY MAN
It's unbelievable that I didn't know it until now...
Fact
Aug 1st Utah! boom Im there
You showed me this incredible song. Now that you're gone, it hits so much differently. My world will never be the same
Never heard before until Darren sang on Glee. Great song 😍👍
Scrolling back through my old pictures talking to my younger self, this song was one of my old captions in 2015, I used to listen to this on repeat as a teenager lol
And wow, I really brought this song back to myself when I needed it.❤
I'm in tears
I really understand now
just heard this song yesterday. cant believe its 11 years old... better late then never. haven't taken it off repeat yet.
This song changed my life years ago.
Thank you Young the Giant.
I understand no one has any idea whether what I'm about to say is real or fake, but...
I'm a living example of things can get better, never surrender.
Thank you for reading. Take care.
Peace.
Im so glad this song changed so many people’s life. It got me too for the best. Have a great life!
Same to you Matteo. Take care.
Having listened to this song quite a bit back in the day, it'll always hold a special place in my heart.
I LOVE YOUNG THE GIANT SO MUCH
I love so much this song, I heard for first time when I was in Canada and my departure flight was at 11:00 pm, and I decided to stay with strangers and to live a new experiences in Vancouver, each time when I listened this song I remember that I can take the desicion of do anything and will be all right.
I heard the song for the first time and really made me become bolder to be just me and take time. Especially from a result driven workaholic
Life is too short to not care at all. I love this song. Hearing it brings you into the dark of sad and somehow makes you realize how dark sad is and wants you want to BE again. It's a hard balance.
this song gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it, it's so beautiful
Life's too short to even care at all, oh
I'm losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control
These fishes in the sea, they're staring at me oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum
Oh
[Chorus 1]
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down
[Verse 2]
Life's too short to even care at all, oh
I'm coming up now, coming up now out of the blue, oh
These zombies in the park, they're looking for my heart
Oh oh oh oh
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh
[Chorus 2]
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now
And so I run now to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
Life's too short to even care at all, oh
I'm losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control
[Chorus 2]
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now
So I run now to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
[Outro]
One more spoon of cough syrup now, oh
One more spoon of cough syrup now, oh
Even though it's in the description
time = wasted
I bet she liked her own comment too
yobardo562 Yobardo562 yep
Is this about Codeine ?
This song has affected me in so many ways that I can’t explain. There’s so much going on , my ex leaving , parents arguing , suicidal thoughts. I’ve never been such a mess in my life. And this song brings something out in me that no words can express what brings out . “Losing my mind losing my mind losing control” is what I’m feeling with my ex leaving me , I’m losing myself because of her , she saw me through my ups and downs. Now that she left I feel alone and without anyone. Had plans for the future and to realize she can possibly find someone new and restart her love life breaks me so much. If you’re reading this I hope you’re doing alright !
I’m here for you. You’ll make it through
Hey man, I'm glad you're still here with us.
believe in yourself and STAY STRONG, PAL !!! - YOU HEAR ME ???!!!!!!
Bro these things won’t mean shit to you in ten years, probably even sooner than that. But please seek professional help if you’re experiencing suicidal ideation. Nip that in the bud while you’re young
Gaslighting Narcissist murderer.
3:52 it’s such a beautiful, unique way to end a song. It truly is perfect
knew from Glee... Darren ♡ That Song is amazing, love ya ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
this song is in a class of it's own when it comes to stirring up deep emotions.. it's inexplicable but it's real !!!!
Life’s too short to eat a carrot whole ooh oh ohh
too short, bro
lmao
I'm forever gonna sing it this way now 😂
Ur an ass
These bitches in the sea they're staring at me, ohh
@Christ Cano I know the lyric is fishes in the sea, I was trying to add on to the joke...
I've only listened to this song all the way through twice or thrice, & each time I was crying. This song is perfect for breaking your own heart.
It is 7 years since I first listened to the song. It still resonates vibrant in my head. I love it.
I’m gonna see them in concert with my aunt and friends soon! This song is so beautiful ❤
I come to this song everytime I lose hope in my life, people, humanity whatever you wanna call it... This was my soundtrack when I was dealing with depression and my numbness wouldn't even make me feel anything at all
I’m now 26 and enjoy this song more than ever because my housemate played it after many years of not knowing it’s name! Thank you Aiden! Love you ma boy 💯🫡
It hits every feeling that exsit, it's incredible!
To all the people who are in mourning for the loss of a loved one, to all the people who suffer from depression and like me are having a difficult day, do not give up, do not let the mind win us.
Needed this so much.
This is probably the second time I've heard this song today and I already feel like I'm going to cry again. It's not the song itself It reminds me of something that I hold very dear to my heart and just hearing this makes me remember it.
Resolveu seu problema?? Tbem choro qdo ouço, mas ñ sei por que
I first heard this song when it was a few years old and I was like 19. I’ll be 28 in 11 days. My, how the time has flown. Sitting in my virtual office my brain said “I’m waiting for this cough syrup to go down” and instantly I’m 19 again. Not old enough to be at a bar, so lost and scared. My god how far I’ve come. Here’s to 28 🎉
Ill be back to say happy birthday but I'm glad you've made it this far :)
@@eh-te6po apparently I’m bad at basic math since today is my birthday lol
@@simplyselina IM SORRY IM LATE BUT I HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT BIRTHDAYYYYY I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE BECAUSE YOU DESERVE EVERY GOOD THING THAT COMES YOUR WAYYYY
Happy Belated. I just turned 30 on the 6th and feel very much the same.
Man
was 22 when randomly listening to this very song. im 32 now. feel young as ever, only job and other responsibilities makin my body feels old. Good ol' times. Happy to stumbled upon this song again. Never thought i used to be energetic, foolish young and daring.
This song is so powerful, it reminds me so much of my life in highschool (it was weed not cough syrup I was using to get out of a suicidal position, but there was always one more after the last)
Lol
One more hit of marijuana now oh
Almost 10 years, this song has the best bridge ver.
this song always reminds me of Skins. I don't even know why, I don't think it was even in the program. I just think it really sums up the show as a whole. c:
Yesss omg yes
Someone should make a montage of every character
layla nazzal omg yes somebody pls do it!!!
thefionaadventures I am going to make one in higher quality, but I quickly made one a few months ago on my channel
thefionaadventures Agreed :)
Young the Giant is definitely one of the most underrated bands I know
Love it, one of the most underrated bands of the decade❣
Still thanking glee for introducing me to this band after covering this beautiful song
maejestic YAY ANOTHER GLEE LOVER
Trashy Trash of course
It seems wrong, but every time I hear this song, I can only think about death in an expected way...? Kind of like you know that you're going to die, but it's okay somehow, because people you love are going down with you, and you're enjoying whatever is left of life as you know it.
This song will forever make me cry though, it's too upsetting and beautiful at the same time ♡♡♡♡♡
Amen
@@abyschaaf6985 not the time or place
Abigail Schaaf sis calm down
I hear you. Good to listen to but not let it bring you down. They wrote this song when they were broke and about to give up. Lesson learned. They made it. Do not give up. I beat breast cancer as a single mother. You need to keep that chin up!
yes yes yes.. thats the true essence of this song.. Beautiful...
One of the few songs to have ever make me cry
Just hit differently during my life at one point
This song led me from depression. I can't thank them enough
It's pure art
That's great. I hope you stay healthy
At least it gave you feelings. It's better to have feelings than to be dead inside (feel nothing).
2018 and Still feel the power in this song! Timeless song and so true
This band is a family favorite, almost everything they make is great.
I saw them in Tecate Pal Norte fest and when this song started, god how much I cried. Its absolutely gorgeus. This song saved my life.
