'my dad was a gifted and passionate gardener. it's where he funnelled a lot of his energy and sensitivity, and despite our humble surroundings, we were always surrounded by beauty. The journey he made from Samoa to NZ to Australia was a difficult and inspiring one, but also fraught with mistakes, regret and terrible choices. i like to think he was building something beautiful, and pondering what life had given him in spite of his mistakes and concealment. we never knew his story until after he died, so this is the most poetic interpretation of his affinity for gardening that I could think of.'

LYRICS:
i was young it was the 60s you see
i never wanted to be the chief of anything
so it was singing in the church for me
behind the organ was as close as i'd ever be
there was a woman that i knew before
she was in auckland she was spoken for
my hair was short my skin was brown
i did construction work from town to town
there were things we did and should not have done
been half a century since i seen my sons
lord knows if
they would ever forgive me I won’t
forgive myself at least
there are strange forces
in the air only time can unleash
in a way i still believe
i fell in love it was the 90s you see
i met a woman across the tasman in ‘83
and we settled down and raised a couple kids
but i couldn't bring myself to tell ’em what I did
i hope that one day if they find my sons
they’ll tell ’em everything that I’ve become
and i will hold it ‘til my dying breath
when i tend garden i will think of them
but my youngest kid, he can't shut his mouth
i guess it won't be long ‘til the truth is out
lord knows if
they would ever forgive me I don't
forgive myself at least
there are strange forces
in the air only time can release
in a way i still believe
in the instance of pain
i look straight down at the iris
if the irises fade
i spend days out in the yard
in the absence of rain
i take a seat down at the organ
and I play
lord I play
ah!
How the hell do you release a new song outta nowhere without alerting? Im gonna have a heart attack, now I want a full album!
It's coming Feb 25th
This is actually the single that came with the album announcement!
This album so far is a masterpiece. I love the intertwining of the beauty with the grief and struggle for love throughout the different songs. Everything is so impactful and purposeful. Thanks for producing this. Need this rn.
@@scumbagge3664 I don’t call everything a masterpiece.
The sophistication of the lyrics thus far, the new innovations in their music style and the inclusion of some really complex orchestral pieces makes this album a masterpiece to me.
So yeah, go fuck yourself.
The tone of all this new stuff is SO COOL
And I absolutely love how funky this one is, cannot WAIT for the album!
I find it absolutely amazing how they can balance all the instruments in a way where it isnt to much to the point where it gets annoying. I love when i listen to a song for the third time and hears a new instrument that they use that changes the song for the next times i listen to it! Easily the best band ever. And i persionally do think EVER
Another amazing song that makes me want to dance and cry at the same time. Fucking amazing, as always
I love this. And the deeper meaning about his dad is beautiful.
oh my gosh i’m almost crying. i love the detail of the iris flower, which symbolizes faith =‘)
Gang of Youths gives me life
God I feel so alive when I listen to your songs
These new songs have such a cool vibe to them - I think its the perfect amount of pop/dance combined with unique experimental sounds
What a story. Can't wait to hear every chapter. Thanks for not keeping your mouth shut.
Every song has been amazing so far
This album is gonna stay up on my list I'd say with many and all contenders welcome---they best bring another level like these gentlemen
Great song, again! That’s 4 in a row. I’m getting Marvin Gaye “What’s Going On?” & Bruce Hornsby vibes on this one.
First Gang of Youths song I've heard and I'm hooked. The funk and love is real with this one. Thanks to random Apple Music Playlists!
Literally song after song …just as incredible as the last. I couldn’t be more excited for the album!!!
@@scumbagge3664 be quiet, boomer
Heard this on the Js this morning, instant goosebumps. Love, love, love ❤
Absolutely lovely! Gang of youths don’t have bad songs. Just good ones. 👍
This new directions is absolutely fitting and fire 😭
my heart throbs for this song, always on repeat
Whn the deeply personal becomes universal. Thank you.
Cannot wait for a wee dance to this in Brighton town. Getting the feeling this will be the last chance to see you guys in a small venue
Another awesome tune, thank you!
Gentlemen, Gentlemen, stop it; you are really spoiling us. Prolific much. Lol. Really digging the soulful and funky vibe. Just can not stop the hot shoe shuffle. Weird, musically I am transported to a sunny day in New York, strange how the mind works eh? Lyrically I understand it regards the LV's Father, nice tribute. Everyone needs a Dave in their life. Yet another top drawer track. Can really tell with each successive release/track you are pushing and experimenting pulling the GOY sound into differing and exciting territory. Growth is a good thing people. Hope you had as much joy laying these down as we are listening to them. Roll on 2022 and the release of your Magnus Opus. No pressure!. Here's to the GOY Angels.
I love your song forever ♥️ 🎵🎸🎶♥️
the best of the best.

Great stuff lads, so keen for the Sydney show next year
I'm guessing he liked Voltaire :)
These guys in no way have been influenced by gang of oldies, THE NATIONAL. Passing the baton I guess.
Loving the saxophone gents 😍
Severe Avalanches vibes from the second half
Okay. This has my hottest 100 vote.
KOOL
I’m coming to see you guys in Brooklyn next year, There’s no way I’m not

This is the music I play in secret cause if people found out they might think I'm not violent
came from the discord 😌
