Vocalist/guitarist Dave Bayley explained the story behind this song to Paste magazine: "The idea for this one came from a story someone told me once. They were telling me about their child, and something awful had happened to them. She was crying - but at the same time the memories that they had from that previous life made her so happy - so she was also smiling. That combination of emotions kind of made me feel like my heart was being ripped apart but also optimistic in a weird way. She had found a way to see happiness in this awful thing that had happened to her. That combination of emotions is what this song is getting at."
Honestly I don't understand songs in english right away (not a native speaker) but the feeling was there. My dad wasn't there for me, but it made me appreciate all the good things he did for me when he was there.. there's no happiness without pain, there's no white without black. :)
im sorry for your loss, we all have rough times. it gets better, never let anyone put you down, people care for you, even if you don't think they do. if you have problems, reaching out is okay!
In Arabic when we want to express how much we love and cherish someone we say "you are my eyes".. And for some reason that line "don't you know you got my eyes" makes me really nostalgic and sad.
As a mother whose had to let her son go for his life to be better, this song is about exactly that. The pain and sacrifice and love and the warm memories you pray they will have of the sweetest moments you've shared when you held them so long ago.. I miss you.
I'm imagining two characters going through through something like this. Adam and Athena were expecting a son. If his birth were to occur naturally then it kill him and his mother. Adam had an idea, have him be born in the Sanctum. A plane of existence much like their own, however they can't go back. Archangels, like Adam and Athena can. He was able to be born but it would be years or centuries that he would exist on Adara. I imagine Adam and Athena singing this song to their son while he becomes light. Becoming part of the moon in the Sanctum.
Wow.. I didn’t know my comment had any likes, and I happened to listen to this song yesterday while mourning my loss, and just noticed today that someone commented five days ago on this thread, and it brought the likes and comments to my attention. Thank you to anyone who has prayed for me or had me in their heart or thoughts. I’m still here a year later, missing him and coming back to this song to sing my heart out hoping he can feel my energy. 💗💕
The boy probably represents youth and the pure, free spirit of being young. When you grow up, it's hard to find that spirit again. You have to search for it.
I get that the mom is a single mom who has hard times looking after her child so her youth is gone and she's doing whatever she can to make him have a good youth?
I hope my son can find some type of solace or message in this song one day. We lost his mother my wife when she passed suddenly three months ago at 23 years young. He was only 2 years old and 7 months when it happened. It was a short time for him but so many happy memories. They spent every single hour of every single day together. We’re so lost and devasted without you, We love you Deja C Rodriguez
This story is heart wrenching, its absolutely tragic to hear about the loss of a young beautiful life. I am actually 23 years old and to think that someone my age could be ripped away from this world is horrific. Unfortunately nature takes its course in unforeseen ways, but the bright side is although it feels like she's gone her soul isn't. I truly believe that she is there watching over you and your son each and everyday, trying to guide you down the right path in subtle ways. I know its not the same but she lives on, especially through your child and some day soon enough you will all be reunited again. I can only imagine the pain you must feel, but thankfully time will continue to heal your heart, you just have to be patient and allow the time to pass. Meanwhile if you need a person to listen, you can talk to me! I'm sending positive energy your way, I hope you can take some comfort in this ❤
My dad passed away in 2012 and now he communicates to me sometimes through songs. If I ask him a question the next song I hear will have the answer. This year I had to start my life over completely and I have moved across the country away from a toxic person, and then I moved again from the next place I lived from another toxic person, all during the pandemic. I am also legally blind and otherwise disabled so I worried about how I would make it on my own after my losses and divorce. I don't know anybody here and I'm completely alone. This comes after 10 years of loss and change that started with his death. Anyway, When I asked him how could I ever have a life again he sent me this song. He always does. I have been told he is my spirit guide and I can tell when he's here. I love glass animals
The devil wants to feed off your emotion. I’m deeply saddened by your lost that must be difficult but you should read the Bible and see for yourself. Leviticus 19:31 ESV “Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God.
this song is so heartbreaking. The first time i heard it i sobbed. my mother is so incredible and i imagine this is how she felt when i was sent to the hospital after my suicide attempt. mothers have to sit back after their child is raised and just hope for the best. they love from a distance and this song literally describes their desire for their child to "be happy and free to run."
I cried watching this video, this is my first time seeing it.. It just reminded me of my mother, how she raised me alone. Seeing me happy and dancing all her life . How she works hard day by day just so I have a roof on my head and food on the table. She's amazing...
I know no one cares about stuff like this but I just wanted to speak on the power of art because it’s beautiful. This video and this entire album has been a huge catalyst and help in me saving myself and my family. I was forcing my husband and 3 kids to live with my abusive parents so that I could try to make them love us before they died. All they did was hurt us more and instead of dealing with it I kept staying there and started doing pain pills. This video helped hit home how much I don’t need my parents and it made me never want to escape from my reality again. I hadn’t quite gotten to a stage of disgust, but I sure have done a lot of regrettable things. This album helps me have the strength to keep doing my best to learn to be better and to learn to be the best I can be for my kids. I don’t want to be held back by anything anymore and I don’t want to hold back my family. Thank you glass animal and crew:) your saving lives with this music
That was so deep my eyes teard I'm happy for you hope you make the right decision and never forget asking for help from your loved ones is never a bad thing :)
I'm a little late on this but music is just that...tight hand hold of love and guidance. I'm joyful for you and your family and the healing trek you've been on.
Camilla, hundred percent concur with you:)....what a stunning band and their sense of creativity............it's almost unreal.......what beautiful soundscape they create.....and add to that, the oh so evocative videos.....utterly lovely!!
I'm almost upset because I started listening to their music a few months ago because I heard Heat Waves and thought it was _interesting._ Like it's good, but almost every other song they've made is better so?????
I saw this live at the glass animals concert. My fiancé and I both agreed we couldn’t provide for our daughter that was on the way so we had to give her up for adoption. This song came on at the concert and I lost it. I was singing the chorus completely choking up. Voice cracking that turned into straight sobbing. My friends and family all knew, they held me saying how much they loved me. Every memory I have of my daughter is in this song. My god I don’t think I’ve cried so hard in my life while singing. It was closure I felt and needed. Thank you glass animals truly. As I write this I can feel the tears. Thank you so much for playing this song at your concert. Waited 7 years to see them live.
@@promontorium that was over 5 years ago when that decision was made. You can keep stupid comments to yourself. Also I didn’t pay for the tickets. They were a gift. Have a good one
@@jacobbaker1609 dude seriously lmao “if you could live in someone else’s shoes”? Your lazy and I’m glad that child hopefully ended up with even a percent better people than you … so I will atleast applaud you and the girl “not a woman” for not using your liberal birth control abortion 😊
isnt it strange?? the more you listen to this song, it gets sadder each time. at first i hear this song as casual happy and high. now it kinda becomes sad especially when he said "boy... i want you to be happy.... free to run" :'(
Its opposite for me. Each time hearing this song I connected to it some way. And each time hearing it, i felt it more closer to myself. Lately I've been connecting strongly to the sadness of the song. And I somehow always find bittersweet in sad

so is the child in the music video a ghost in a sense? i’m not really sure what the plot for life itself is. i’m assuming that has something to do with the terrible news about the child?
I'm 17 years old and five years ago I was playing career mode in fifa 17 with my cousin and this song hit me in my feelings. I missed the innocent days. I was smiling so hard I almost tear up I returned here cause my cousin has passed away 😢 from heart attack RIP my brother
this song perfectly encapsulates that deep instinctive parental love, that need to protect your child, raise them, watch them prosper, to kindle that next torch and do anything to keep that flame alight even if it means snuffing out your own. ive only ever gotten this feeling in small glimpses but this song just wakens it entirely and it’s beautiful
I lost my little sons to the care system because i had depression and experienced domestic abuse. I see them now sometimes. It doesn't get any easier and I miss them a lot.
I'm in the same boat as you. I heard this song in my dream last night. Didn't know it would lead me to feel sad, and nostalgic about being a mother. I lost my first child because he died, and I lost my 2 boys because of the care system, as well as domestic violence that carried on to my oldest son. My youngest wasn't born at the time. This song makes me feel so many different emotions at once.
I found this song the day after the funeral of my friend who I loved and trusted like a little brother and saying that is still an understatement of how much he meant to me, he died at only 11 years old , he was an optimist and knew where he was heading, he took others before himself and was the most selfless person I've met, he would always great me as his hyper self running down the stairs from his room and yelling "VIIICCKKKKYYYYYYY" my God I would have done anything to make him happy, and I did, I tried, to see him upset was to see the world crumble and yet the world seemed to go with him as a whole when he left. Jesus Christ this song hits hard

My interpretation: The mother put her son up for adoption because of their life not being in the best state so she left him so he could have a better life, either the lyrics are a message to him before he was put up for adoption, or a message to him when he has grown up.
returning to this song after graduating highschool and also a month before i turn 18. this song truly helped me through some of my hardest moments throughout my teenage years. i experienced trauma after trauma, had no friends, wanted to drop out of school but was still a straight a student. my childhood was picture perfect, my mother worked two jobs and my father raised me while being an alcoholic. when i was four, my family got ‘better’ until my preteen years, when i found glass animals. i’ve never been so musically touched by the art of music in the way that glass animals music has affected me. this song and many others from their discography have allowed me to relate, grieve, be a kid, smile, cry, and so much more. hope to revisit this song in years to come. ❤ -jay
I like how the kid is walking around at dawn in the beginning, then it goes directly to the mom opening her eyes like she’s waking up from a dream (of him).
i am not afraid to admit i cry every time i listen to this song. It reminds me of my own mother and i wouldn't trade her for any other mom in the world
Cannot listen to this without crying most of the time Respect to anyone supporting their families especially during difficult times like these Bless you all 🙏
the fact that for the evening shots the little kid is in a coat is adorable and I appreciate it after such a deep song. It's nice to just take a moment and think 'wow this must have been really fun sometimes!'
What an emotional video. I love reading all the perceptions. From my perspective, I think it is about a single mother who worked endlessly to provide for her son the best she could, even if it meant bringing him to work and she had him taken away from her because she failed to provide an adequate life for him. Now she grieves the loss of him as she still works at the same diner endlessly.. unable to move forward.
dude no, she had him to a white guy we met at work but she was too young to support him and he didn't stay to help/she didnt tell him so she gave him up for adoption and she's grieving over that.
Chris cancercell Everyone sees it differently. In my interpretation the child died, you’re he was adopted out, theirs he was taken by foster care. There is no right answer. It’s all perspective.
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to listen to this song with dry eyes. My grandmother died when I was 14 quite suddenly, and throughout my childhood, she was my rock. My parents were never that great. They were toxic in many ways that I’m not going to go into depth about here, but I always loved going to her house. I loved helping her in her garden and running errands with her and doing crafts together and baking cookies with her. When she died, my entire world fell apart. It felt like a part of my soul was ripped out of me and I didn’t know how to react at the time. It’s been years now, and I’m 21 now, and I swear to god this song is her singing to me. These lyrics feel exactly like something she would say to me and every time I listen to this, it feels like she’s comforting me from beyond the grave. Thank you so much for releasing this beautiful work of art.
LYRICS Boy When I left you you were young I was gone but not my love You were clearly meant for more Than a life lost in the war All I want's you to be happy Free to run Get dizzy on caffeine Funny friends that make you laugh And maybe you're just a little bit dappy Fly high Feel your mother at your side Don't you know you got my eyes I'll make you fly high You'll be happy all the time I know you can make it right Boy Now your life is back to fun But you see that's not for long Cause I know you'll feel the ghost Of the memory so warm Boy I want you to be happy Free to run Get dizzy on caffeine Funny friends that make you laugh And maybe you're just a little bit dappy Fly high Feel your mother at your side Don't you know you got my eyes I'll make you fly high You'll be happy all the time I know you can make it right Boy I want you to be happy Free to run Get dizzy on caffeine Funny friends that make you laugh And maybe you're just a little bit dappy Fly high Feel your mother at your side Don't you know you got my eyes I'll make you fly high You'll be happy all the time I know you can make it right I'll make you... Boy I want you to be happy Free to run Get dizzy on caffeine Funny friends that make you laugh And maybe you're just a little bit...
I don't get that vibe from the music at all, neither the lyrics nor the actualy melody. Makes much more sense as a very poor mum that gave up her son to another family so that it could get a better life.
I always heard as if they were counting in the chorus since they used phonetically similar words. Even reading the lyrics I still hear it. Like: ONE, i want you TWO be happy THREE to run and dizzy on caffeine FOUR your friends that make you laugh And maybe you're just a little bit dappy FIVEEEEEEEEEE strangely enough i never heard the second fly as Five hahaha. But always felt as if the counting was symbolizing the priorities she wanted her child to have.
please make a third part to this this is too beautiful to not see them reunited when she's older and he steps up in her cafe and doesn't notice at first it is him, because her sight is still clouded but when she sees his eyes she does
It was so hard to find but here are the actor's names: Brock Brenner (the kid) Dorian Hampton Camila Ivera (the waitress) Pat Janssen Heidi Kaufman (The others are in life itself)
this is the only song that’s given me goosebumps. a mixture of nostalgia from being younger and hearing this on FIFA 17 as well as a newfound appreciation for the beauty in this song.
It seems like when she's looking for him he kind of goes away but when she's distracted she's missing out on seeing him. Youth itself kind of is like that. If you keep trying to chase after how your past used to be, it's just going to get further away. And if you try to push it away and forget about it, you miss the good things that it could've given to you. Our childhood dreams can't stay forever, but to just forget about them is kind of callous. She's also too invested in her job it seems to be able to be 'young again'. And, like most music videos, I don't think the lyrics have the match the meaning of the video perfectly.
I can't imagine how my mom would cry if I ever sent her this song. I'm her second son, her first having been miscarried. Her entire life has been devoted to being a mother, and she has three surviving children, so this song would really hit her hard.
@@firex.6273 yep. It's a sad decline for fifa. But at least there's something to enjoy. Although you could just go on Spotify or something. But you dont get the same vibe as hearing it in fifa soo
The first time I heard the song, I thought that the line “Boy, I want you to be happy, free to run, get dizzy on caffeine” said “One, I want you. Two, be happy. Three, run and get dizzy on caffeine” as if they were counting what they wanted the boy to do
This song makes me bawl my eyes out every time. My mom was an addict when I was growing up(she’s 10 years clean now) and she didn’t get the chance to raise me because of this and the line“I was gone but not my love” BREAKS ME EVERYTIME!!
this is absolutely one of the most underrated songs i have ever heard. it is fucking beautiful and i get chills every time i hear it. you guys created a masterpiece and i wish i could tell you directly how beautiful it is.
Same here he casually pours his soul out in his music and its so listenable but sometimes I'm sure your subconscious picks up on what he was putting into his words and singing and it just kinda shows up in you
I don't know what it is, but every time this song starts, I HAVE to let it finish... like this tragic story must lead to its conclusion... the Youth lives forever in this 3:53 seconds!
I know my depression is bad when I'm listening to this song as often as I have been, but listening to it makes me think if I love Agnes' life it will make someone else feel the same why I do now
The first time I heard the song, my eyes teared up. It reminds me of my mom. She has her mothers eyes and I have hers. Even when she's away sometimes, she always lets me know that I'm not alone because I can't be alone that well because of my anxiety. Everything about this song makes my heart happy. And I am so happy to have heard this song live. I love you so f***ing much glass animals, greeting from germany
Just some thoughts... This video makes me feel the song is about mother who grieves of her child. They're not together anymore by whatever reason could be. She's dressed in red and he is in pale blue t-shirt, that's important. When he dances under the red lights this could mean she's still with him in her thoughts and tries to take care of him. When she sits at the table looking into the camera she has pale blue cup on the table - this also could mean she's always thinking of him. The pale blue empty car as a symbol of the place in her heart left empty without her boy. Also pale blue sky when she's running out looking for him could mean that now he's everywhere around her. Didn't think the song is so sad until I saw this video.
My dad died before I was born on my older sisters birthday while driving to her party. I never got to meet him but I'd like to believe these lyrics would be something he'd say to me. Rest in peace Marc Owen Renville
not to be that person, but my mother passed away in 2018 and i was only in 8th grade. it hit me hard and im still learning to cope. a few months ago i found glass animals and on my way to school one day this song came on and i instantly started to sob my eyes out. glass animals is and will be one of my favorite groups for the rest of my days. cant wait for the concert in march.
I'm sorry for your loss. I wish you find a good way to cope with how you feel (including listening to this song). And have fun at their concert in march!

I'm imagining two characters going through through something like this. Adam and Athena were expecting a son. If his birth were to occur naturally then it kill him and his mother.
Adam had an idea, have him be born in the Sanctum. A plane of existence much like their own, however they can't go back. Archangels, like Adam and Athena can. He was able to be born but it would be years or centuries that he would exist on Adara.

I cried watching this video, this is my first time seeing it.. It just reminded me of my mother, how she raised me alone. Seeing me happy and dancing all her life . How she works hard day by day just so I have a roof on my head and food on the table. She's amazing...
If u can tell it to her. She probably would be rlly happy
this hits too close to the heart 😢
I know no one cares about stuff like this but I just wanted to speak on the power of art because it’s beautiful. This video and this entire album has been a huge catalyst and help in me saving myself and my family. I was forcing my husband and 3 kids to live with my abusive parents so that I could try to make them love us before they died. All they did was hurt us more and instead of dealing with it I kept staying there and started doing pain pills. This video helped hit home how much I don’t need my parents and it made me never want to escape from my reality again. I hadn’t quite gotten to a stage of disgust, but I sure have done a lot of regrettable things. This album helps me have the strength to keep doing my best to learn to be better and to learn to be the best I can be for my kids. I don’t want to be held back by anything anymore and I don’t want to hold back my family. Thank you glass animal and crew:) your saving lives with this music
this comment is beautiful and i think other people might care :P
❤️
That was so deep my eyes teard I'm happy for you hope you make the right decision and never forget asking for help from your loved ones is never a bad thing :)
I'm a little late on this but music is just that...tight hand hold of love and guidance. I'm joyful for you and your family and the healing trek you've been on.
Hi, Samy. I think you’ll love Glass Animal’s new song, Domestic Bliss. It makes me bawl my eyes out every time I listen to it.
Literally any frame in this video would make an amazing painting.
especially the kid dancin'.
On it
so right.
Jordan likes cake how about 1:24
Or 3:51
Blue Ghost you still on it?
Why is nobody talking about this kid’s freakin’ sweet dance moves?
Right??? He's jammin'
He vibin and we love him for that
he's adorable he's just vibing man
His little wiggles are top tier
Absolutely grooving
This is a rare thing... I like every song a band makes
That's exactly how I feel.
same
in my opinion, Glass Animals are the greatest band of our generation
Camilla, hundred percent concur with you:)....what a stunning band and their sense of creativity............it's almost unreal.......what beautiful soundscape they create.....and add to that, the oh so evocative videos.....utterly lovely!!

Listening to all these songs from Glass Animals feels like an adventure.
A really comfortable lay-back-and-enjoy-the-ride adventure
Thomas Carter Like riding in your car with the windows rolled down, the wind blowing in your hair
Thomas Carter I listen to glass animals when I go on hikes and it feels amazing
its insane to me how heat waves got that much of a hype with songs like this on their discography
This one, domestic bliss etc. They really have a lot of depth in their songs
I'm almost upset because I started listening to their music a few months ago because I heard Heat Waves and thought it was _interesting._ Like it's good, but almost every other song they've made is better so?????
Heatwaves appeals to the general braindead public. The lyrics are pure generic trash. Their earlier works are much better.
Yeah, agreed. The first two albums are absolute fire. I hope people delve into them.
The song was in fifa. So millions of people got to hear it through that
I saw this live at the glass animals concert. My fiancé and I both agreed we couldn’t provide for our daughter that was on the way so we had to give her up for adoption. This song came on at the concert and I lost it. I was singing the chorus completely choking up. Voice cracking that turned into straight sobbing. My friends and family all knew, they held me saying how much they loved me. Every memory I have of my daughter is in this song. My god I don’t think I’ve cried so hard in my life while singing. It was closure I felt and needed. Thank you glass animals truly. As I write this I can feel the tears. Thank you so much for playing this song at your concert. Waited 7 years to see them live.
Had the money for a concert with the father but couldn't pay for Cheerios to raise your own child?
@@promontorium that was over 5 years ago when that decision was made. You can keep stupid comments to yourself. Also I didn’t pay for the tickets. They were a gift. Have a good one
@@jacobbaker1609 no need to answer to stupid questions. You made your choice💗
@R Cortez oh if you could live in someone’s shoes for a moment. It’s okay that you don’t understand.
@@jacobbaker1609 dude seriously lmao “if you could live in someone else’s shoes”? Your lazy and I’m glad that child hopefully ended up with even a percent better people than you … so I will atleast applaud you and the girl “not a woman” for not using your liberal birth control abortion 😊
isnt it strange??
the more you listen to this song, it gets sadder each time.
at first i hear this song as casual happy and high. now it kinda becomes sad especially when he said "boy... i want you to be happy.... free to run" :'(
That is so frikken true. Months after hearing it as an uplifting happy tune, now I cry at the first beat every time.
noooooooo pls don't do this to me
I sob everytime i watch this
I wish I had never seen this video, because I really liked how this song made me happy before
Its opposite for me. Each time hearing this song I connected to it some way. And each time hearing it, i felt it more closer to myself. Lately I've been connecting strongly to the sadness of the song. And I somehow always find bittersweet in sad
the best from fifa 17 yesss!
A child's innocence is one of the most beautiful things on this planet.
Warning ⚠️:
The comment section is like the song. You'll find parts that hit you right in the feels and some parts that will make you smile.
Too late T^T
Sooo right,mushrooms have brought me too tears once again

I scroll three comments further, and I am bawling my eyes out haha
This song literally makes me cry every time I hear it it's just so sweet
Bittersweet
same, the music video and the lyrics are just too much. so heartbreaking
Vocalist/guitarist Dave Bayley explained the story behind this song to Paste magazine: "The idea for this one came from a story someone told me once. They were telling me about their child, and something awful had happened to them. She was crying - but at the same time the memories that they had from that previous life made her so happy - so she was also smiling. That combination of emotions kind of made me feel like my heart was being ripped apart but also optimistic in a weird way. She had found a way to see happiness in this awful thing that had happened to her. That combination of emotions is what this song is getting at."
Oh god, I’m so scared to think of what might have happened to the child :(
@@sistersamich2075I can think in just onde thing, and I guess you think the same :(
I love how well the song's sound captures this feeling
😔😔
so is the child in the music video a ghost in a sense? i’m not really sure what the plot for life itself is. i’m assuming that has something to do with the terrible news about the child?
“You’ll be happy all the time” always gets me 🥹
I'm 17 years old and five years ago I was playing career mode in fifa 17 with my cousin and this song hit me in my feelings. I missed the innocent days. I was smiling so hard I almost tear up
I returned here cause my cousin has passed away 😢 from heart attack RIP my brother
This is literally me, before im on ps4 all i did was playing fifa 17 career mode on ps3 everyday
This, send them off, chariots,high and low 🥲
it's literally me
Bro fifa 06 for me
Time goes by fast kid. Stay humble
Your choices of sounds and melodies are fucking great, I feel so great, high and comfortable with your music guys ❤️ this vibes are life!
It's so soothing.........so pleasing.........def one of the bands one can take to the grave.
your so right!
this song perfectly encapsulates that deep instinctive parental love, that need to protect your child, raise them, watch them prosper, to kindle that next torch and do anything to keep that flame alight even if it means snuffing out your own. ive only ever gotten this feeling in small glimpses but this song just wakens it entirely and it’s beautiful
I lost my little sons to the care system because i had depression and experienced domestic abuse. I see them now sometimes. It doesn't get any easier and I miss them a lot.
I hope and pray everything works out for you ❤
I hope you find peace.😥
I'm in the same boat as you. I heard this song in my dream last night. Didn't know it would lead me to feel sad, and nostalgic about being a mother.
I lost my first child because he died, and I lost my 2 boys because of the care system, as well as domestic violence that carried on to my oldest son. My youngest wasn't born at the time.
This song makes me feel so many different emotions at once.
I pray for you all and I hope everything is OK ❤️
Prayer to you 🙏 wish you all the best
the guitar tones!!! wow
Thilina Blyz It's actually an owls hoot edited. :)
Best glass animals song
I found this song the day after the funeral of my friend who I loved and trusted like a little brother and saying that is still an understatement of how much he meant to me, he died at only 11 years old , he was an optimist and knew where he was heading, he took others before himself and was the most selfless person I've met, he would always great me as his hyper self running down the stairs from his room and yelling "VIIICCKKKKYYYYYYY" my God I would have done anything to make him happy, and I did, I tried, to see him upset was to see the world crumble and yet the world seemed to go with him as a whole when he left. Jesus Christ this song hits hard
What happened to him?? 11 years old and to go away...it's just pure tragedy
can't wait for the album! please put out more canadian tour dates!!
I second this D:::::
can I THIRD IT?!
I agree!! More Canadian tour dates!
Guys we did it there is a Toronto date added :DDDDD
next up ontario dates!! (please)

Thanks
I read up to the first pre-chourus and fEEELS
My interpretation:
The mother put her son up for adoption because of their life not being in the best state so she left him so he could have a better life, either the lyrics are a message to him before he was put up for adoption, or a message to him when he has grown up.
YES! A continuation of "Life Itself". Glass Animals makes the best music. These guys are so underrated.
This album is going to be golden
returning to this song after graduating highschool and also a month before i turn 18. this song truly helped me through some of my hardest moments throughout my teenage years. i experienced trauma after trauma, had no friends, wanted to drop out of school but was still a straight a student. my childhood was picture perfect, my mother worked two jobs and my father raised me while being an alcoholic. when i was four, my family got ‘better’ until my preteen years, when i found glass animals. i’ve never been so musically touched by the art of music in the way that glass animals music has affected me. this song and many others from their discography have allowed me to relate, grieve, be a kid, smile, cry, and so much more. hope to revisit this song in years to come. ❤ -jay
this song is so underrated! gosh it gives me good vibes and the storyline is just amazing♥
How can a song be underrated if it has only been out for two days
+Liam Pope well the band kinda is like some songs get 5 million views after 3 days of releasing!
+Liam Pope haha yeah...
You should listen to their last album, ZABA. It's incridible.
But you don't know the story line...
miss you mom!! 17 years since you gone. from the heaven i know that you take care of me...
one of the best songs i've ever heard. it just invokes so much emotion that you can't describe
This song makes me cry
Who’s here after glass animals are in 21 and the songs a banger
Surely many people, dude👌
What fifa was this song
@@gijslangeveld5736 17 i remember it vividly
@@gijslangeveld5736 fifa 17
I sure am
I like how the kid is walking around at dawn in the beginning, then it goes directly to the mom opening her eyes like she’s waking up from a dream (of him).
i am not afraid to admit i cry every time i listen to this song. It reminds me of my own mother and i wouldn't trade her for any other mom in the world
Cannot listen to this without crying most of the time
Respect to anyone supporting their families especially during difficult times like these
Bless you all 🙏
This band is amazing. Their lyrics have meaning and soul. The vibes are chill, and are excellent in every way.
the fact that for the evening shots the little kid is in a coat is adorable and I appreciate it after such a deep song. It's nice to just take a moment and think 'wow this must have been really fun sometimes!'
What an emotional video. I love reading all the perceptions. From my perspective, I think it is about a single mother who worked endlessly to provide for her son the best she could, even if it meant bringing him to work and she had him taken away from her because she failed to provide an adequate life for him. Now she grieves the loss of him as she still works at the same diner endlessly.. unable to move forward.
dude no, she had him to a white guy we met at work but she was too young to support him and he didn't stay to help/she didnt tell him so she gave him up for adoption and she's grieving over that.
Chris cancercell Everyone sees it differently. In my interpretation the child died, you’re he was adopted out, theirs he was taken by foster care. There is no right answer. It’s all perspective.
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to listen to this song with dry eyes. My grandmother died when I was 14 quite suddenly, and throughout my childhood, she was my rock. My parents were never that great. They were toxic in many ways that I’m not going to go into depth about here, but I always loved going to her house. I loved helping her in her garden and running errands with her and doing crafts together and baking cookies with her.
When she died, my entire world fell apart. It felt like a part of my soul was ripped out of me and I didn’t know how to react at the time. It’s been years now, and I’m 21 now, and I swear to god this song is her singing to me. These lyrics feel exactly like something she would say to me and every time I listen to this, it feels like she’s comforting me from beyond the grave.
Thank you so much for releasing this beautiful work of art.

It's helpful to put lyrics because I don't know what they are saying most of the time
> Now your life is back to fun
> But you see that's not for long
I hear that as "back to front". Makes more sense than "back to fun".
Théo yeah because the boy is dead.
I don't get that vibe from the music at all, neither the lyrics nor the actualy melody. Makes much more sense as a very poor mum that gave up her son to another family so that it could get a better life.
@@KaiserFredVIII bro… there are so many layers to what this could mean and tweaking the meaning to that one idea limits these different perspectives.
My 2 yr old grand daughter made her dancing debut this week to GA songs. Seeing her little body dancing like this made my heart burst with joy.
Keep the joy!
I love how it looks at 0:10, when both the video and the song syncronize. It looks so perfect
It's as timeless as your nostalgia allows. Everything one day, and nothing, another
Easily my favourite song ever since I first heard it on FIFA 17. Great game and great song.
I always heard as if they were counting in the chorus since they used phonetically similar words. Even reading the lyrics I still hear it. Like:
ONE, i want you TWO be happy
THREE to run and dizzy on caffeine
FOUR your friends that make you laugh
And maybe you're just a little bit dappy
FIVEEEEEEEEEE
strangely enough i never heard the second fly as Five hahaha. But always felt as if the counting was symbolizing the priorities she wanted her child to have.
holy shit
i genuinely thought his was the lyrics before i listened more carefully
Yo…
This is an awesome connection. Good thoughts but difficult to implement…
I’ve always wondered the weird pronunciation to those words
I thought it was counting too, I'm positive it was done on purpose.
this is how i used to hear the song as well :')
please make a third part to this
this is too beautiful to not see them reunited
when she's older
and he steps up in her cafe
and doesn't notice at first it is him, because her sight is still clouded
but when she sees his eyes she does
is there a second one?
@@ksvideodiary999 I'm guessing the 1st part is 'Life Itself' and this is the 2nd part
Thank you so much. I actually needed this song.
It was so hard to find but here are the actor's names:
Brock Brenner (the kid)
Dorian Hampton
Camila Ivera (the waitress)
Pat Janssen
Heidi Kaufman
(The others are in life itself)
Omg BrockHampton is in the names
You fckin legend!! Waiting at least a year
Omg you're a G 😂
Good!!
Where else have I seen Brock Brenner? 🤔
I just can't get tired of thinking how beautifully directed is this video...
Their aesthetics for their albums are just phenomenal. I could listen to what they've put out so far for the rest of my life on repeat.
this song is so so beautiful, never gets old. "Fly, feel your mother at your side, don't you know got my eyes" makes me cry inside
this is the only song that’s given me goosebumps. a mixture of nostalgia from being younger and hearing this on FIFA 17 as well as a newfound appreciation for the beauty in this song.
It seems like when she's looking for him he kind of goes away but when she's distracted she's missing out on seeing him. Youth itself kind of is like that. If you keep trying to chase after how your past used to be, it's just going to get further away. And if you try to push it away and forget about it, you miss the good things that it could've given to you. Our childhood dreams can't stay forever, but to just forget about them is kind of callous. She's also too invested in her job it seems to be able to be 'young again'.
And, like most music videos, I don't think the lyrics have the match the meaning of the video perfectly.
You're right Edward
I think in this case it's both, the video is an interpretation but yours could very well be another legitimate interpretation
Just here crying as I wakeup dealing with life and my own problems. This song is something else when your going through it.
this beat and song is heavenly and so much paradise and beautiful their voice made me emotional and so got my football touch that I lost 2 years ago🏖
I can't imagine how my mom would cry if I ever sent her this song. I'm her second son, her first having been miscarried. Her entire life has been devoted to being a mother, and she has three surviving children, so this song would really hit her hard.
This and now heatwaves, This guy should just be hired as the new fifa soundtrack guy
@@firex.6273 Facts
@@firex.6273 yep. It's a sad decline for fifa. But at least there's something to enjoy. Although you could just go on Spotify or something. But you dont get the same vibe as hearing it in fifa soo
And phone numbers from fifa 20
I would literally dance on this song while I was playing fifa 17
And now I Don’t Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)
The first time I heard the song, I thought that the line “Boy, I want you to be happy, free to run, get dizzy on caffeine” said “One, I want you. Two, be happy. Three, run and get dizzy on caffeine” as if they were counting what they wanted the boy to do
Agree. I also hear four in funny and five in fly. The emotion and the song builds with the count and you can let go at fly (five). Great song.
@@jsandlaw12 100% I think he inflects that way on purpose
I have always heard that too and was wondering if it was on purpose or if only I heard that
Oh trust that’s what I thought as well
I was looking for this comment, I think he maybe did that on purpose its too coincidental
This song makes me bawl my eyes out every time. My mom was an addict when I was growing up(she’s 10 years clean now) and she didn’t get the chance to raise me because of this and the line“I was gone but not my love” BREAKS ME EVERYTIME!!
this is absolutely one of the most underrated songs i have ever heard. it is fucking beautiful and i get chills every time i hear it.
you guys created a masterpiece and i wish i could tell you directly how beautiful it is.
This boy is absolutely adorable
"Please continue eating. Don't mind the child dancing on your table."
Nah its good
Aahahahahaha because all i wanna do is be happy 🤣
Every mall food court ever
I enjoy it.

This is the ultimate summer song. It just feels like every aspect of summer
This song makes me cry sometimes. Idk why, it just does.
Egypt Hubbard me too every time I get this huge wave of emotion
Same here he casually pours his soul out in his music and its so listenable but sometimes I'm sure your subconscious picks up on what he was putting into his words and singing and it just kinda shows up in you
Egypt Hubbard ... Agreed!!!!
Me too its love and grief lyrically and haunting voice coupled with this heart wrenching video
Me too.
The boy is "Youth" itself. She had him, but lost him. While searching for him, he is long gone.
Exactly...it's sad. :(
Thanks for defining the deeper meaning, however I am still stressing over the fact that she's lost her child! :-O #Mothersworry
So tell me then, how do you left youth at a young age? The lyrics start with the line "Boy, when I left you you were young".
You can only leave your youth young. Youth is always young by definition.
how to be a human being is a great album
also the kids dancing is adorable
my little brother literally danced like that... it was seriously the cutest thing
God 7 years flew by. I hope the actor who played the little boy grew up and started listening to glass animals 😊
I don't know what it is, but every time this song starts, I HAVE to let it finish... like this tragic story must lead to its conclusion... the Youth lives forever in this 3:53 seconds!
this band makes me feel like i need to go home , even though im in my home already
bubblemix what?
khairul amri idk , its just the vibe it gives me. the band i mean
Home isn’t always a place
bubblemix exactly.
maybe no one really is at home.
it's literally impossible for you guys to make bad music. pls don't ever stop
I know my depression is bad when I'm listening to this song as often as I have been, but listening to it makes me think if I love Agnes' life it will make someone else feel the same why I do now
Best song of the FIFA 17..
one of the few songs i never get tired of listening ... even after all these years. Always gets me.
a moment of silence for those who haven't found this masterpiece yet
Just found it. Can’t stop listening.
Thank you for holding the silence. It has drawn me in one year later. Let’s hold silence for those to yet join in the next year.
The first time I heard the song, my eyes teared up. It reminds me of my mom. She has her mothers eyes and I have hers. Even when she's away sometimes, she always lets me know that I'm not alone because I can't be alone that well because of my anxiety. Everything about this song makes my heart happy. And I am so happy to have heard this song live.
I love you so f***ing much glass animals, greeting from germany
What a song. I play this all the time in my restaurant. It's so chilled and upbeat even for the weekend mix
Up beat? You hear the lyrics lol
Kris O'Neill Play raging fire
Didn't know a song could make me happy and sad at the same time
This is a masterpiece
Ok...sure will do man
Just some thoughts... This video makes me feel the song is about mother who grieves of her child. They're not together anymore by whatever reason could be. She's dressed in red and he is in pale blue t-shirt, that's important. When he dances under the red lights this could mean she's still with him in her thoughts and tries to take care of him. When she sits at the table looking into the camera she has pale blue cup on the table - this also could mean she's always thinking of him. The pale blue empty car as a symbol of the place in her heart left empty without her boy. Also pale blue sky when she's running out looking for him could mean that now he's everywhere around her. Didn't think the song is so sad until I saw this video.
That makes this sad 😢
You got it pretty much completely correct ma dude
There's actually a music video that comes before this called "Life Itself". This seems to be the second in a trilogy of music videos.
Yes, thanks, I've spotted it a bit after. Great idea, telling one story through a series of music videos.
Awesome interpretation!
I'm rewatching this song in 2024, it's such a style. Now I feel alive again 🌹
That melody so relaxing ,thanks for making this song
tbh i cry every time i watch this music video because it's so heavy and symbolic of life ugh
WestCoastWannabe same
WestCoastWannabe I get the feels when he sings 'you have my eyes'. beautiful
WestCoastWannabe Don't you mean its symbolic of Life Itself? 😁
This is the most beautiful song I have ever seen 😭😭😭😭
My dad died before I was born on my older sisters birthday while driving to her party. I never got to meet him but I'd like to believe these lyrics would be something he'd say to me. Rest in peace Marc Owen Renville
not to be that person, but my mother passed away in 2018 and i was only in 8th grade. it hit me hard and im still learning to cope. a few months ago i found glass animals and on my way to school one day this song came on and i instantly started to sob my eyes out. glass animals is and will be one of my favorite groups for the rest of my days. cant wait for the concert in march.
I'm sorry for your loss. I wish you find a good way to cope with how you feel (including listening to this song). And have fun at their concert in march!
i teared immediately reading this
The kid killed the dancing that's how your supposed to just vibe to glass animals
