Lyrics:
Oh what did I say?
She's all shook up
Lost in the summer, man
We're burning up
The time don't show
When the sun gets carried
The tide curves off your body
Oh you'll stay with me
I, now I will show you
It's how I lie
When no one told you
Oh what did I say?
She's all shook up
Vision by the seaside
We move
But I don't know
When the fire gets hazy
The flames roll down and off her body
Oh you'll stay with me
So ride, Sherry, ride, Sherry, ride
I will show you
We'll go in the night
Wondering why no one told you
Now I can walk the stones of the shoreline
And taste the ocean salt when the cold shines
My words are rolling soft down your south side
Why, you know it goes, you know it goes
Why it goes
There has to be someone else watching in 2020. So nostalgic 😢❤️✨
Here!! Oh gosh the nostalgia hits hard
For real...
Yess!!
Yup! I remember listening to them in highschool. It was gold then and its still gold now
We’re vibing while we’re dying
Someone listening for the 1,000,0000,0000 time in 2022. A masterpiece. Still my favorite band. Thank you.
2022 November and still listening
July 2023. Been here for 7 years
Yep, they've been my favorite since cough syrup, from Fright Night... and seen them perform live in India... one of the best experiences of my life.
If I’m being honest….this version of the song got me through a lot. I’ll always come back to listen.
Me too throughout the years it’s always been a relief
I wish I could play the orange like him.
Lol
Jenn Harris that’s a vintage orange that robust sound is hard to replicate
I thought it was an apple LMAO
Jenn Harris hahaha I've laughed about this so hard
😂😂😂
I found them in 2012, a freshman in college. Here it is 12 years later. Life 🤓
2012 was the same year i found them! But was a freshman in Highschool
Life for sure
I think I've listened to this band everyday since 2011
Conner Willson me too
well not technically everyday lol
The times when the band was named the Jakes time flys
SAME!!!! I know your comment was from four years ago my friend but, I do as well but to this very day in 2021 lol. I was able to tell Sameer Ghadia that he has one of my all-time favorite voices along with Stevie Nicks, Lana Del Rey, and Frank Sinatra. His jaw fell to the floor and said "Stop! What?! You're putting me up there with Sinatra and Stevie?!? That's probably one of the greatest things any listener has ever said to me so, thank you." He gave me a hug and I got a photo with the band as I got the meet n greet pass. They're so unbelievably good live...I almost prefer to listen to their lives over studio. ♥️
Their music could wrench emotion from ice
I will never get tired of listening to this beautiful song
THEYRE ALL SO FREAKING ATTRACTIVE
Right?!?! It's not even fair
This brings me back to High School and my whole hipster phase 🤝
Haha nice, I feel like I'm still in that phase, with music anyway ☺️ gotta love the indie music!
11 years still going on in my head
Really can't believe it's been this long, I remember listening to them even before my highschool years!
put all of your in the open songs On Spotify PLEEEAASSEEEE
3:27
this exchange is the cutest. I love it when you can see the love band members have for each other and their music.
i love the way he smacks that shaker.
I want him to smack my ass like he smacks that shaker
you bad girl
Their open sessions are fucking incredible. More people should be aware of this band's existence.
I'd pay to see them Live if the entire set was this song, played THIS way.
Hayden H I melted when they played this live'
My girlfriend and I were just saying how we wished they did an "In The Open" acoustic concert.
I am in love with Sameer's voice in this song. They really need to release these open session versions. I would buy the session version album in a heartbeat.
10 years later and I'm still hoping they do
The studio version is already so perfectly soft. But this one's is just magical.
Listening to this at least once a week (since 12 years) is what enforces sanity
Sameer's voice is amazing
If you pay attention to the beached boat in the background, you can find that that spot is actually a landmark spot that appears in many pictures. In fact i think one of the themes you can choose for your gmail is a picture of that very boat. I did some research, the boat is called the Point Reyes, it is beached at Tomales Bay near San Francisco. A very beautiful place to go and visit or, if you happen to be Young the Giant, film an ITO.
I can't stop it, my face contorts into a smile every time I hear this.
Can we get an 'In The Open' album
FightOrFlight you can always make your own (:
I think I'm gonna ask my wife to make me a CD with all their Open stuff (:
And put it on spotify please!
Done
YES PLEASE!!!!
Please please plzzzzz
ITS BEEN 10 DAMN YEARS, PUT THIS ON SPOTIFY ALREADY!!!!
Just saw them live :) One of the best performances I've seen.
Where???
Springfield, was their first tour hit this year.
dude there is a springfield in every state wasnt very helpful
Check their touring then. :\
Drove to Springfield, MO for it. College city.
You can tell how much they genuinely love making and performing songs together as a band in this vid :')
Every year I get back here to these acoustic versions since 2010. What great memories
Can't get enough of this music.
How about the fans in Oct 2023?🎉❤
Music live in nature, so comfortable
Like the birds sing for us. We sing for the birds.
Valentin Aguirre In studio version, the beginning of this song really has bird sounds, haha
The earth without art, is just eh..
Jimmy KEL Music live in nature, it's called real Music! :) Pace!
Adryannno Adryanooo Indeed! : )
2022… still hasn’t gotten old ❤️
Keep finding one great song after another today. Discovered these guys and Garry Bean. I'm one happy girly.
Sameer and Francois have a unique connection when they sing sometimes. It's interesting the way they trade looks at each other...like they have some secret (which they prob do, see 3:26) a kind of "eye language" about what's going on with the song right then. There are other vids where I noticed that too.
Christi Williams true
I agree, there is definitely chemistry there, and it's very much visible at that point in the video I think. I theorize maybe Francois felt some type of way while looking at Sameer in that moment. He looked down right after, almost as if discouraged, and then it seems to me that he felt reassured when Sameer returned the glance with a smile
I was feeling a little blue but now my heart is content
the only way to really appreciate quality and class... not many can perform like this in the open... class is class !!...
it's 2024 and I been coming to yt for this specific in the open session for yearsssss, I need it on spotify like 10 years ago and yk what, go crazy and put it on a vinyl too and I'll snatch t up REAL QUICK
I was thinking exactly the same, it’s +10years I come back to this song, close my eyes and have the same sensations I felt when I first heard these open sessions back in 2011/2012. What happy days. 15 years and no thoughts. It’s time to save them on some vinyls.
the scenery seems spectacular wouldn't mind spending a few days out there
In the Open ranks among my top 20 tracks of any type, any genre, ever.
I agree, their open sessions are incredible!!!
i can't even begin to express how much i miss the time of my life when the self titled and mind over matter album were it... it felt like my life had its own soundtrack. anyways.. i love you guys, young the giant fans and band alike.. may we all find what drives us crazy
Its awesome feeling when you find a new band with amazing music
That voice is so soothing. I love Sameer!
The fact that they sound this good live speaks for itself
I will listen to this on repeat, forever. For the rest of my life. Or until youtube no longer exists lol
still listening 4 years later? :P
still here
Young the Giant, You belong In the Open
Loving that bass.
Agreed, but am I the only one wondering exactly what the hell he's plugged into?
Dude, the water. Duh.
i feel so emotional listening to this...man masterpiece!
I am so in love with this whole band. And these open sessions just make me so happy because it shows just how truly talented they really are.
Please never take this down.
This makes me so happy.
I was about to type the exact same thing :)
Great minds think alike.
Lauren Fuchs smooth dude, smooth
Julian Alvarez lol
I'm sorry if this is immature or weird, but, is your last name pronounced the way I imagine that it's pronounced?
Without the slight overproduction that was on the album, their songs shine even more. I would totally buy an acoustic album.
I don't think it's overproduced at all. Is all the layering what you don't like or the addition of synths or something? The production is so clean for being their first album and the aesthetic with the summery layered guitars and upbeat drums I think sounds perfect.
And if we're talking overproduced my god Mirror Master is easily the most uninspired and stale of their albums by a long shot. At least MOM had a lot of really beautiful moments, and Home Of The Strange is obviously produced perfectly for what they were going for with the album, Mirror Master just sounds like overproduced B-sides from HOTS but with indie trends from 2012.
@@nolestrono personally, i loved mirror master just as much as the other albums. the thing with young the giant is that they're constantly shifting and changing their music, that's what makes it a true breath of fresh air. songs like simplify i imagine where written from sameer to people he loves, like his wife. the aspect of bringing in math and physics in superposition made me fall for the song, it seemed like a sweet heartfelt love song compared to normal songs like 'a thousand years by Christina perri'. it's weird, ytg is the one band where i love all of their songs.
Nimala Sivakumar yeah despite my other comment I do still enjoy listening to a lot of the songs from Mirror Master. I was obsessed with Simplify when that came out. Most of it just sounds uninspired, but its YTG so even the uninspired stuff still sounds nice.
Cannot believe this was 2010. 11 years!!!
Am I the only one that loves all their songs?
This song got me through middle school ❤️ I'm a senior now. I love you Young the Giant
Do not change anything about Sameer's voice!! It's PERFECT
Nothing shows the true talent musicians possess more than an open air performance and these guys are the real deal.
Young the Giant's music proves that there is still great music out there, and life isn't half bad either :)
Awkward accidental eye contact: 1:43
Just noticed that he also did it in he Apartment ITO at 1 minute and 12 seconds in
5 years already, like... wow.
To the day... 10/12/15
+anya isabella Whoa...almost 6 now lol These guys are incredible
*8 years
Another five years have come and gone
the popularity of a band doesn't matter. the quality does. and i believe this band gets an A+
Laying in my girlfriends bed in her dorm listening to the calming rain fall outside. I am at peace finally happy with where im at in life. No better feeling
they are TOURING and even better live. don't believe me? go see it for yourself.
They're my favorite band .) I love all their songs
a key to a memory.
There is no truer beauty than your acoustic takes on your own songs. Makes me cry like a baby. Love love love love and more.
I look at his face and he always looks like he's going to cry ;~;
-T S- My poor baby Sameer ; n ; XD
you guys should list WHERE these open sessions occur, because you always pick the most beautiful landscapes
LONG LIVE THE YOUNG THE GIANT!!!!!! YOUR VOICES ARE ENGRAINED IN MY BRAIN
have you ever had a song that kind of takes you back to a certain point in your life? i've never teared up to a video before 'till now, but this song means so much to me. christ.
I have listened to every song on Young The Giant and Mind over Matter and this is still in my top 5
same here!
Remember First Listening To This Song About 4 years ago and I still love it today
Every great song has a tambourine! The shaker's great too…and very much overlooked:-)
2022 still watching. Talent has no age and these guys have more talent in their toes than most people will ever find. ❤️
Ytg have the best lyrics I've heard in a long time. Just make you to reflect on your life.
listening this again 2016
Make it 2017 homie. They're just on a different level.
donmegahole no I am!😂
haha but really i am the future
2017 and still 💪
Oct 2017
you know a good group of talented people when they can go anywhere and always sound amazing
Been listening to these guys for over 7 years now... their music certainly stands the test of time. Always get something new from each listen, so talented.
This is fucking great
2019 and still in love with them.
I LOVE that they are playing in Tomales Bay in this video! I grew up not far from there and recognized the boat immediately!
I didn't know you can play an orange like that. Great acoustic version.
Listening in 2017, they are so fucking talented! Greetings from Portugal
There's no such thing as a perfect ban-
OHP, NEVERMIND.
This is the first Young the Giant song I have ever heard.
I used to be really stressed about school and stuff but now I started listen to YTG all at the time and I'm just overall more relaxed and carefree. They're my favorite band by far. Waiting with bated breath for an Open Session album.
I want them to be successful and go mainstream, but I also love the intimacy. I had the pleasure to go to a small, almost elegant venue and see these guys. It was literally the best concert experience I have ever had. Everyone was so chill and friendly, and was literally in the arms length of their feet. I don't know if i have had a better atmosphere at any other concert.
I feel like dancing hahaha
still watching in 2022, Wishing they would release another album :D
I remember when I first came across this video it had been uploaded for about a month. I listened to it on repeat for hours. It makes me so happy. This video has a special place in my heart.
Lol at the little "ah" at the very end
This song makes me want to crack cold one with the boys
really rare to find a singer that sounds exactly like the recorded track. his voice is dreaammyyyyy.
I LOVE watching Eric play the guitar. Every time.
Any 2021 viewers?? 🥺🥺🥺🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
is françois shaking an orange
i can't be upset when this song plays just makes me smile so hard. *swoon*
As another drummer I concur and also add that if I had t have two drum items to have with me wherever I went, it would be a shake egg and a really good tambourine. All I need!!! :D
April 2024 anyone?
Right here with you 🤝
May 2024 😊
the abandoned boat in the background
never gets old 🤌
This version is just summer twilight. Majestic.
