    After losing my father to COVID on 20-12-21, almost 3 years now, this song have a special meaning to me, he is a Mediccine Doctor, he was about to retired,still continued helping, still to this day, people still reaching to let us know about how he helped a lot of folks, he did a lot, somethings that I didnt knew about, but to learn about it, I'm really proud and I'm trying to do better for those around me, miss him a lot, anyway , this song its amazing

      I’m so sorry you lost your father to this cruel illness! My heart hurts for you. It took my grandpa who was the closest thing I had to a father. He was one of my best friends. Your dad sounds like a hero and you are a hero for sharing him with the world.

    I feel guilty absolutely loving a song that is so sad. It sounds so lively and fun and upbeat that you forget it's about her mother being taken by breast cancer. I can literally listen to this song a hundred times on repeat and never get tired of hearing it. I love this band with every fiber in my body. I've never heard anything like them before. They play and sing with such passion and feeling. It's something that is missing ion a lot of music these days. I was an arms length from Alisa for a show they did near me and I'll never forget how awesome and surreal it was to be that close to her. It made their music mean even more to me. They're definitely one of a kind and I'm going to love introducing my kids to them one day

    I can't even stop listening to this. I lost my Dad to terminal lung cancer when I was 16. It's coming up to the 2 year anniversary. This song is helping to cure the hole in my heart. Genuinely never related to a song as much as I can relate to this. It's audio perfection xo

    The best songs, the ones that matter, they stick with you and hurt, this song is about a transition. Every transition begins with an ending, a loss. They force you to explore, which is a potentially confusing and frustrating time between the old way of being and the new. This song helps the audience find acceptance. Acceptance can happen only after people have let go of the past and spent some time exploring the future. This song is a haunted gem, one for the ages.

    On this beautiful song, I came by chance.
    It reflects my feelings and gives me comfort/consolation in my grief to him.
    A Big Thank You for this wonderful song.
    Gestern Samstag 30. November 2013 war die Beerdigung von meinem Vater.
    Auf dieses schöne Lied bin ich zufällig gestossen.
    Es widerspiegelt meine Gefühle und spendet mir Trost in meiner Trauer um ihn.
    Ein grosses Dankeschön für dieses wunderbare Lied.

    Song meaning:
    ALISA:- "There’s a song called “I Kill Giants” that was supposed to be on the first record but wasn’t totally finished at that point. It’s so special to me because it’s a reconstructed memory of when I lost my mother; she died when I was young, around seven. It was the biggest moment of my young life. It wasn’t until years later that Thom gave me this graphic novel called I Kill Giants. There’s this character in it that I related a lot to and it encouraged me to finish the song."

    I'm kind of glad they did a beautiful and simplistic interpretation of the song rather than have the video blatantly lyrical and autobiographical, which I'm sure would've been somewhat uncomfortable for Alisa if it were. I love Kefali's non-glitzy directing and it makes it so much more breathtaking and universal!

    The end of June came
    And took you away
    We were all crying
    Felt like I was dying
    Black dress & black shoes
    Tied laces for you
    The saddest of days
    Why couldn’t we save you?
    Inside my head
    At the edge of the bed
    Where somberness lay
    In your children that day
    As goodbyes are spent
    Holding on to what’s left
    The saddest of days
    Why couldn’t we save you?
    Nothing but ashes
    In the old fire place
    With all of the memories
    He has erased
    Heavier heels
    His mourning concealed
    On the saddest of days
    Why couldn’t we save you?

    "I Kill Giants" by The Naked and Famous is a deeply personal song that delves into themes of loss, grief, and resilience. Alisa Xayalith, the band's lead vocalist, wrote the song as a tribute to her late mother, who passed away from breast cancer when Alisa was just seven years old.
    Song Themes:
    Loss and Grief: The lyrics convey the emotional journey of dealing with the pain of losing a loved one. The title "I Kill Giants" metaphorically represents the immense and seemingly insurmountable challenges that come with such a profound loss.
    Resilience and Strength: Despite the sadness, the song also speaks to the strength and resilience needed to move forward. It reflects the courage required to face and overcome personal giants-those overwhelming emotions and memories tied to grief.
    Motivations Behind Writing the Song:
    Personal Healing: For Alisa Xayalith, writing "I Kill Giants" was a form of catharsis. It allowed her to process her grief and honor her mother's memory through her music.
    Connecting with Listeners: By sharing such a personal experience, The Naked and Famous aimed to connect with listeners who might be going through similar experiences of loss and grief. The song offers a sense of solidarity and understanding.
    Emotional Expression: The song allowed the band to explore and express deep emotional themes, adding a layer of authenticity and vulnerability to their music.

    Directed by Joel Kefali, the clip features two young ballet dancers putting on a powerful performance at a church for a rather depressed looking audience.
    “At first I felt insecure singing about something so infinitely painful and blatantly autobiographical,” said lead singer Alisa Xayality. “But now I’m more comfortable explaining that ‘I Kill Giants’ is a song about losing my mum to breast cancer as a young girl." From an interview in Fender magazine.
