Lyrics:
All the kids are throwing sticks:
Politics
Nights on the wire!
Everybody wants to get by
'Ts a test of the times!
A test of my rights
It's on pretty lady
Born to be angry
Grip of the vice
Click on the trigger, girl;
Sip wine on ice!
It's about time
Best to rewind
You better blow
Pistols, pistols...
Lights low
Go on baby go
It's a bad time
I'm on a tight rope!
Don't go-o!
It's about time, It's about time!
Everybody come on
Lights on
The beaches
Everybody come on; delight!
Close the front door
I don't wanna go
Like I'm on the 'Truman Show!'
Best to let go
You don't wanna know
You better blow!
Lights low
Go on baby go
It's a bad time
I'm on a tight rope!
Don't go-o!
It's about time, It's about...
All the years of paradise
Paradigms
Paralyze
Us
"You're crazy!"
All the cards you've organized
Shuffled twice in front of my eyes
Everybody has
Needs, wants, a cold gun!
Lights low
Go on baby go
It's a bad time
I'm on a tight rope!
Don't go-o!
It's about time, It's about...PISTOLS

I don't think I can shake a maraca as passionately or as cool as Sameer
sameer is the definition of vibing in this video
Sameer controls his voice so perfectly
Never stop with this In The Open series.
Please.
Never.
Never thought anyone could look so good holding a shaker but man can Sameer rock that thing like nobody's business.
Well when you're the golden god you can make anything look cool.
Best Facial Hair Award goes to this band.
Maria Stroia and best dressed
bballislife7158 Not to mention best looking...
+Marie Claire i mean damn
I think Incubus has them beat!
Maria Stroia can’t believe that’s what you’re taking away from this
Young the Giant is honestly so talented and the fact that they do these raw videos just prove how talented they are and the fact that they don't need fancy recording studios to create an amazing music video.
His falsetto is the best!
OMG
Definitely overlooked I'd recommend checking out Karnivool
just imagine... walking one day by a river when suddenly you hear the most beautiful music ever... you walk closer and see sameer gadiha, the god of all things pure.
lol best thing ever
just had a three hour one-man party....this video was the only thing on the playlist.
Athenkosi Maqokobe if this isnt me :D
lol that opening. it pans over to sameer looking all cool-like. then he just starts shakin it. i just died
this deserves waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more views. This is real music and not trash
Sameer's dance move hasn't changed. I love it.
When he starts swaying to the melody.. *-*
I like when artists actually enjoying the singing rather than just standing still focusing to hit the right note.
his voice is like butter
Best band in the world to me!! I really wanna see you live!
Tickets for sale now! Go on their website, can't wait to see them myself!
***** so lucky!!
Just did amazing !!!
Travis Garman SO JEALOUS YOU GOT TO SEE THEM!
Jono Gio Fau They are AWESOME LIVE
I just keep falling more and more in love with this band!!! (sigh)
I had only been exposed to this song in the Lalapalooza live performance video from 2014 (which was electrifying). To hear it In The Open with what he does with his voice here was even more fantastic! I love this song no matter how or where they perform it!!
I can never just watch only one In The Open session at a time...they're so addicting
I am currently binging them all right now 😂
i love these in the open sessions! sameer's voice is beautiful
Finally! A music artist that isn't a slave to VEVO
you are late, it was popular to hate vevo like 1 or 2 years ago
MrN893 i really dont get the hate on vevo
they still have artists' music videos available in great quality
what difference does it make if its labeled vevo or not
Errold Tumaque A few years back they were taking over youtube, censoring all the videos. But its not so bad anymore.. i mean you can see tits on youtube now so.. but either way i dig this song lo
the scenery makes this video 10x better than it already is! love this song!
so excited for the album
i did not know i needed this in my life until now
Sameer and his tambourine ♥ He is perfect in every way, and if you aren't in love with his voice, you're wrong.
LAY ME DOWN IN A BED OF FLOWERS AND SHOWER ME IN HIS VOICE IT'S PERFECT
love the lil keyboard they are using
I'm I the only one patiently waiting for "In the Open" of their new album?
I love this band, music, vibe. Forever
sameer's dancing though
Sameer got the moves like Jagger.
His is like candy!!! Love it
This song was playing at my job when I was cleaning tanning beds. I asked spiri what it was. I found this, and yo this mans voices and vibes are immaculate dawg! Fs the dopest song my Job has ever played!
I'm still kicking myself for not seeing them live with Walk the Moon when they toured....would have been the best concert ever from the footage I saw. What a great band!
Fell in love with this band like 1 week ago when i found the "In the Open" series! love it!
I'm in love with his moves!
I love this band :)
Sameer vocals & showmanship are amazing. Awesome band who keeps putting out great music. I have their first album & loved it, can't wait for the new one to be released. I'm really looking forward to experience them live in concert!!!!!
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Gadhia's voice is the sexiest, purest, most soulful male voice I've ever heard in my entire lifetime. Incredibly catchy song..typical of YTG! *thumbs up* I'd be soooo lucky if I ever manage to see you guys live one day!
I love his voice. This is just one of my favorite bands. I agree more views definitely.
Please make an album with all the In The Open sessions! I thought it was imposible for your music to get better, but I was so wrong. These are really addictive.
What a voice ! Just discovered the band because HBO is using this song in their winter promos.Wow ! Talented singer, and that lip biting at 1:30...s-e-x-y!
First of all this location is frigging sweet. Then put Sameer's voice and everybody's talent together and bam this is perfect.
I could watch him dance for the rest of my life
I hope they never stop making these. It just shows how amazingly talented they are.
He sounds like he does in studio. Thats really remarkable.
Saw them open for Kings of Leon last year and they put on a fantastic show! Hopefully i'll see them again on their tour this year. Truly amazing artists!
the talent though.. so raw
Young the Giant continues to impress. They evolve with every song and its incredible to listen. From my fist concert in the Galaxy back in 2011 to in the open for their sophomore album. They are talented individuals whom i admire dearly.
yo this is perfect
I love this so much, the music, the performance, the way it's shot. Everything
damn.. 3:03-3:25 that's majestic af its like im in a dream
rad rad rad
I was supposed to see them this past Valentine's day in Montclair, NJ but they postponed the show until october. OCTOBER!!!! *Sigh* Fuck it these guys are worth the wait, their music is a breath of fresh air and I'm really inspired by Eric's guitar playing!
Learning to dance like Sameer in 3...2...1....
I'm so glad they are doing more of these In The Open sessions, because these videos are what made me fall in love with this band.
Amazing live performance!! True talent! No gimmicks or effects needed. A rarity in music these days.
I absolutely LOVE your In The Open versions!
Such a brilliant song....from the two guitars that complement each other so well to Sameer's dope falsetto. This song grew on me nasty....can't stop listening to it.
This has been my fave band for ages saw them live some times people don't sound the same live and this is not so for them. They killed it sounded even better live shocked me now my wall has them covering it. Best albums ever. Everyone works so in harmony it's just what music should be lol soulful
What a unique voice from Samir
i love their open sessions so much
Such a great song. This is an awesome performance!
i love love the open sessions and i cannot lie!
sameer's dance moves tho
Right. 😍
These guys are soo effn awesome.
Cannot wait til they can start playing for us again!
This is incredible. Young the giant are a breath of fresh air into the pop/folk/rock genre. And if it wasn't possible for Sameer's vocals to get any better. The open sessions are only to get better from here.
Ahhhh!!!! Got to see them live two days ago and they are so amazing.
...worked security for their show at the UB Spring fest May 2nd, totally enjoyed!
I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS BAND AND THE IN THE OPEN SESSIONS!!!!!!!!!!
upon listening to the in open version, i see this really is a work of art, i expect nuthin less from ytg
I hear a lot of new music on the radio and often when something catches my attention i'll come home and find it on youtube. More often then not those songs get old real quick with me, after listening to them closely i realize they are shallow and formulaic, not this song. This song has been amongst my daily listens for months and months now and i think i know why, they play real instruments and sing with passion, awesome stuff.
Missing the "essence" of an open session. It's lacking the organic or raw soul that your other open sessions carry. Love love love this song by the way and can not wait till the new album is released!
I freakin love YTG, and Sameer .. o.m.g. a straight up gift from baby Jesus himself.
Can't wait to see you on my birthday in Vegas! You will forever be my favorite band. I love you guys so much!!!!
So glad to see Young the Giant back at it. Will we be lucky enough to see more of the new album In the Open?
Shows how amazing they are only needing one shot for this performance, wow!
I love these In The Open Sessions. Thank you so much for doing one for the new song, it's wonderful. I'm strongly looking forward to the new album.
My favourite band of all time and its because of videos like this, showing the raw talent that these guys possess. I saw them live a few weeks ago and it just strengthened my obsession! Love you guys!
this is my favorite 'in the open'. see you at summercamp this august!
OMG; you guys are amazing, and you, Payam, rock! #youngthegiant #videomusic
Wow, this is absolutely amazing. You guys are just so incredible live! I can't wait to see y'all again in February and it was amazing meeting you guys at your last concert (and maybe that'll happen again). Looking forward to the new album!
♥
I remember watching them on Feb. 11th, 2012 with Walk the Moon opening their show... it was amazing! I can only imagine what their tours would be like now.
Desde hace mucho tiempo es mi banda favorita.
¡Son fantásticos!
I don't know what it is with this band. I like everything they do. Like seriously, how different isn't this from the first album? I love it. Ah, keep rocking that maracas dude!
I really want to see them live again. Best band out there.
The ambient sound is second to none
I wish they would've focused in on the guy doing the fingerpicking riff when he's sings the chorus:(
i think hes actually using a pick which makes it like 10 times more difficult
It is about time :P What a stunning setting!
Not sure if this one works as well in the open as full live, but Sameer's little jig at the end just made my day...
They're so good live. Saw them in Seattle at the end of their last tour in April soooo good they even covered Nirvana for Kurt 😍
Yess!!!! This was amazing I love these open sessions thank goodness we have a new one
Apaixonado pela banda :D
Such a great band overall. Been waiting so long for thier second album
This video deserves more views. Excited that the In the Open sessions are back!
These guys are hot. Love this song. My favorite this month.
Jesus plays the bass so well 😊
I am absolutely mystified by this magical scenery and the handsome gentlemen filling it with groovy vibes! Keep that shit up boys!
Sameer is one tall glass of choco milk !
Perfection at its finest.
