here is a version of our song Eyes Shut we did for Vevo Lift so thankful to all the musicians and vevo for making this possible it was really really special x
You're so right 😉 His voice is unique and special and it makes you feel like if you were in other universe where everything is better. Thank you for making such a great music 😄
+YearsAndYearsVEVO did i ever say that UR SO DAMN HOTTER THAN ANY CREATURE IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! and ur voice MELTS my heart... this is the first song i listen to ..
This song makes me that kind of sad thats a little bit happy. Like il listen to this song and feel so peaceful and smile the whole time then when its over burst into tears.
I'd never imagined that he could make this song any better, but he really has pulled out all the stops with this version! I got goosebumps and my hairs stood on end after the first 30 seconds..... I cannot wait to see how these guys progress over the next few years.
the amount of range olly has over his voice + the control he has over it... he's beautiful oh my god i can't wait for you guys to blow up globally, but at the same time i kind of want to keep you quiet, because it feels a lot more special :)
I cry everytime i hear this song.. I remember when i had my 'mentalbreakdown' and i listened to this, and it made me stronger, and made me feel better. Thanks Y&Y for making this song.
This beautiful rendition helped me cope in my grief after losing my sister. I heard the radio version on the drive back to my hometown on the evening she passed away. Thank you Y&Y. Thank you Olly.
If I never had this song... I honestly don't know where my life would be. This song has helped me overcome many things in its little time here on Earth. Thank the Lord Years & Years have formed to make such a helpful song for my life and others
Throw your heart to me Let it fall and hit the ground Let it go Your timing was so wrong I just want to be found And Ooh... And I… Yeah, I've got the lines I've got the lines Oh it's brighter this time This type of mine This disguise Oh you talk, ooh, to me Well, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut I can see through them I can see through them I am drawing pictures I'm evading I will not use them I will not use them Again And it starts again You come over with your friends I don't wanna talk to them And all I really want Is to start again And oh... And I… Yeah, I've got the lines I've got the lines Oh it's brighter this time This type of mine This disguise Oh you talk, ooh, to me Well, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut I can see through them I can see through them I am drawing pictures I'm evading I will not use them I will not use them [2x] 'Cause I wanna be bigger than life For you For you And nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut I can see through them I can see through them And I am drawing pictures I'm evading I will not use them I will not use them No, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut I can see through them I can see through them))
In the past 2 years,I've introduced 237 people to you guys, and still counting.. I think they are as obsessed as I am! Is it weird that I actually counted how many people I talked to them about the band? Well, who care! ❤️😍 That was... wow...beautiful
In almost 2 years, I saw their evolution until today and it makes me so happy. I love this song since it's out. This version gave me goosebumps. Keep doing what you do, it's amazing. Kisses from France 🇫🇷
I just became obsessed with this band about two days ago this is the first time that I've actually sat down and listens to a whole album and didn't skip a song...true artist with real talent
No amount of words could explain how proud I am of you boys😭 I have watched how you have grown for quite some time now and I will continue to watch you grow and become MASSIVE this year! This song has always been my fave and I didn't think you could make me love it anymore...and then you posted this!! I may or may not have shed a tear while watching this - it was so breath taking and performed stunningly! Big things to come for you in the future💙
I love every song done by Years and Years so far. It seems I have listened to nothing else for past few months! You guys are what I've been waiting for in the music industry. Pure, genuine, real and heartfelt music.
How have I missed this for 2 weeks? This has been my favorite song for awhile now and this acoustic is pure magic. Strings, are you kidding me? I am kind of in love with Olly as an artist.
amazing. absolutely brilliant. i love you guys so frickin much and can't wait for your new album!!! you guys are gonna be really big soon; i can sense it hehe 😊😍
Olly's voice brings tears to my eyes. When people say that some music runs with their vibrations, I have to say that Years & Years runs completely in sync with mine. Never could I imagine that a certain music group would make me feel something so real. Much love, you guys are really amazing.
was humming this song and for an hour i finally found it!! i listen to it when it first came out.. today just not my day..and the first comforting earworm i heard was .. cuz I wanna be bigger than Life..nothings gonna hurt me when my eyes shut..
This song is sensational, beautifully sung, meaningful lyrics and such emotion showed throughout. Everytime olly sings he shows so much passion and meaning. I love you years and years. Xxx
im so glad i decided to explore the realm of music, and i happened to stumble upon the angel voice that is olly's and the amazing instrumentals from mikey and emre
I thought that too when I first heard them, but I've seen completely raw live performances and it's just his voice. He does this kind if shaky vibrato thing that makes it sound like that. It's very different to anyone I've heard before :)
14Rimvydas I think he is using it, to be honest. I'm not an expert and could be wrong, though. Someone prove me wrong! But even if he's using it, I think it's an artistic choice not something he needs. He sounds awesome without it.

This is ridiculous how good his voice is, so unique. When can we expect their album?
Thank you. Summer with years and years, can't wait!
Love their version! Olly's voice is always so emotive, even if it's not his own words...
This is actually their own song, and the lyrics were written by Olly :)
You're right...I only heard part of the studio version before...Love the song. And my comment still stands about Olly's voice :)
These guys me makes me fall in love with their work more and more with every passing second.
the amount of range olly has over his voice + the control he has over it... he's beautiful oh my god

Throw your heart to me
Let it fall and hit the ground
Let it go
Your timing was so wrong
I just want to be found
And Ooh...
And I…
Yeah, I've got the lines
I've got the lines
Oh it's brighter this time
This type of mine
This disguise
Oh you talk, ooh, to me
Well, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them
I am drawing pictures I'm evading
I will not use them
I will not use them
Again
And it starts again
You come over with your friends
I don't wanna talk to them
And all I really want
Is to start again
And oh...
And I…
Yeah, I've got the lines
I've got the lines
Oh it's brighter this time
This type of mine
This disguise
Oh you talk, ooh, to me
Well, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them
I am drawing pictures I'm evading
I will not use them
I will not use them
[2x]
'Cause I wanna be bigger than life
For you
For you
And nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them
And I am drawing pictures I'm evading
I will not use them
I will not use them
No, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them))

I want him to sing this song to my ears 😍😍
This song will forever be huge part of my life. From when I was 16yo and didn´t really know the meaning till now, when it is my comfort song.
This song just really speaks to me. I don't think I'll make it through the end of the year
everything will be alright, believe me.
This is "THE BEST" rendition of this song to me. The absolute best.

Sitting here in Uni at nearly half three in the morning. With only Years & Years keeping me sane. Beautifully well done.

I was a gonner from the piano and them Olly tool me over the edge. I love this so much. Been listening to this for months now and it never gets old .
For some reason this reminds me of 'coloring' by Kevin Garret. OH MY! YEARS AND YEARS MUST COLLABORATE WITH BIRDY!
YO I WAS JUST THINKING THAT
i didn't think this song could get better but they've proven me wrong with their talent once again
Am I the only one to think this is better than the studio version ??

Olly and Troye Sivan should have a baby!!
olly and neil should have a baby
+YUWEN ZHAO well they broke up so...

I think Troye will be better suited for the role of Mommy and he can make them You Tube baby personalities - Bye,,,,,,,,,!!
you are reading my mind oh my gosh
He is so incredibly beautiful. His soul is breathtaking.
He's like God....
Beautiful song....and that voice... I can't forget it.
I think he kinda sounds like michael jackson
Hahaha I totally get what you mean, definitely elements.
OMG I HAVENT THOUGHT OF THAT TIL NOW OMG YOUR RIGHT
+Robert Sanchez Oh GOD you're right
Nisrina Alifah Sauda so true
This song is sensational, beautifully sung, meaningful lyrics and such emotion showed throughout. Everytime olly sings he shows so much passion and meaning. I love you years and years. Xxx
0:56 olly casually transforms into zayn malik :D
im so glad i decided to explore the realm of music, and i happened to stumble upon the angel voice that is olly's and the amazing instrumentals from mikey and emre
Can't believe you're gay ! I wanted to marry you so bad !
I'm in love with Olly's breath taking vocals 😍😍😍
Sounds like autotune...
I thought that too when I first heard them, but I've seen completely raw live performances and it's just his voice. He does this kind if shaky vibrato thing that makes it sound like that. It's very different to anyone I've heard before :)
Megan Stacey because of you I've watched fee live performances. This is really interesting voice, you are right :)
Megan Stacey few*
14Rimvydas I think he is using it, to be honest. I'm not an expert and could be wrong, though. Someone prove me wrong! But even if he's using it, I think it's an artistic choice not something he needs. He sounds awesome without it.
I saw them live yesterday and I can tell you he doesn't use auto tune, it sounded like this and it was soooo good
I am so inlove with this song and with Olly's voice and with this version .. everything is more than perfect
I have never heard something so beautiful. such raw talent honestly
This is literally my favorite song
There are seriously tears streaming down my cheeks. This was so beautiful!
Actually physically struggling to breathe whilst watching this. So incredibly beautiful!
BEAUTIFUL! Can't wait for all of Communion!!!!!
