I'm 61 and was driving my daughter's car with JJJ playing last weekend. Heard you guys live in Brisbane and decided I wanted to hear more. I'm impressed.
Driving to buy hair dye, decided to cover the grey and fall in love.. I'm here because I fell in love with these lyrics and the sound ❤️ sigh ✨ at 58 years young, still a dreamer I''ll take this breathe and cherish the memory 💞 calling a love shot to embrace
This song makes me want to fall in love with my best friend and go on a road trip in a big red pickup truck and drive on a completely empty road in the middle of a dessert somewhere screaming this song at the top of our lungs with the wind blowing in our hair Oddly specific, I know. But that’s the feeling I get, yet I’ve never experienced this feeling.
I can relate it makes me invision cruising down the coastline highway in a 1986 monte carlo with my dream girl cuddling against my arm as the symphony of the v8 and this song plays in my ears that sounds like heaven to me Edit : got my dream girl next step is saving up for my dream car
'Le symbolique' is definitely not getting enough hype guys.. The transition from that to Let Me Down Easy was one of the best things that's ever happened to me, like it was absolutely IMMACULATE - if you haven't listened to the entire album yet you HAVE to check it out, trust me.
You want someone who wants you for who you are I want someone to try, then let me down easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight Honey, it’s no secret that with matters of the heart Unreserved, I’m irrational and rarely ever start But since the world’s dark and often inhumane Relish our condition, come drinking in the rain ‘Cause you remember when, after Paris We all decided the best way to fight it was Drink wine, dance here and pray And make love that lasts with avengeance So you can join the cowards all aboard the outrage train You can stay afraid, or slit the throat of fear and be brave And scratch the little itch 'Til you’re moving like a motherfucker up in this bitch You wanted to fight for a cause Then go out and fall in love Don’t stop, don’t stop believing In truth and grace in the grievance You want someone who wants you for who you are I want someone to try, or let me down easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight So look at me and tell me what I already know That I trialed and I failed and it’s good to let it go Sometimes life sucks, everything is lame Not everything’s as easy as making lemonade And so dismembering our state of balance With lust requited, a gaze undivided With a cool mind and warmth in your face A good heart, a grace under pressure You give me a good reason to be heartsick again To be here, to be strong, to be oddly and boldly estranged From the loss and bitter years I found myself descending into tedium and fear You wanted to fight for a cause Then go out and fall in love Don’t stop, don’t stop believing In truth and grace in the grievance You want someone who wants you for who you are I want someone to try, then let me down easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight If it’s late, you’re drunk and wanting A reason, some reason to live I always, I always say Just put on some Whitesnake Honey, it’s no secret that I’ve been losing my way In the weirdest of moments and the stupidest of ways But hey, I’m still young and it’s gonna be okay I got solipsism, baby, and I brought lemonade I’ll surrender then, all my balance And be excited and drink to tonight It’s not a, a bad time, time spent with you There’s cool lights and songs with good lyrics We never have to talk again, whatever, up to you But since you’re putting up with me Here’s another toast just to you Let’s dance, off the beat Then mosey out together and say goodbye on the street You wanted to fight for a cause Then go out and love someone Don’t stop, don’t stop believing In truth and personal freedom I want someone to want me for who I am I want someone to try, or let me down easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight
When you’re walking along the road heading into your dream new job, When you’re humming and singing this song and loving it, When you think to yourself “I’m 70 years young” and still kicking it....life is good 🙂😎👍👍
I look up the song that beat him and it sounded like a cartoon chicken going nnn-na na in high pitched rapidfire was devoid of melody. I don't think Triple J bother trying to stop one or two Fanatics from voting a couple of thousand times.... They had a small group of individuals that will determine to vote for "Love Will Tear Us Apart" early on and the level of the song I didn't feel that needed to be voted in every time and ring up and suggested that they take it out of the running
Joshua Wilkie I hope one day you get to visit Samoa, it's a beautiful country. I also feel that the people there would really like you even though I don't know much about you 😂 and I too also live in Australia :)
Joshua Wilkie That would be really nice, I could show you around but I'm not gonna lie I would have to convince my dad to say yes for a long time 😂. I'm actually going to Samoa this July for 2 weeks, if you do ever go tho let me know. As nice as the hotels are, living in the village in my opinion is way better I could show you the real Samoan experience it would be fun😊
Joshua Wilkie No, don't be sorry. you're fine, that's just the way my dad is but trust me he would say yes. aww your so sweet u didn't do anything wrong but Thanks anyway 😊
I get lost into my version of a perfect world each time I listen to this song! His voice, the beat the lyrics have me playing it on repeat so often... I am hooked and in love :)
Warms my heart to see so many people in their 60s and up in the comments. On my fave song from the band nonetheless. Good music gathers the best people no matter the era :)
I only recently heard about Gang of Youths after reading Adam Duritz (Counting Crows) praise them and liking the sound of them. I gave them a listen and I'm really enjoying catching up on some great songs. This is definitely one of my favourites so far.
How good are these lads..? Told my kids about them maybe 3 years ago when they first came to the UK and the gigs were cancelled due to covid. Not seen them live yet but hopefully soon..
the keyboards, the bass tempo with the drum beat playing off each other, that wicked violin, the lyrics and how the song flows with them, God this song is Perfect. oh my girlfriend wants to have the frontman's baby.... what the fuck
I'm here because the Achilles come down was in a playlist I was listening to and I had to stop the playlist to go and listen to the song a few more times ... and then decided to check out the band... Long story short, great stuff!
This song manages to keep rising and never drop, yet not get old and keep the energy the whole way through. Makes me wish my boyfriend was real and we could go driving down on a road in the crispy fields of Canada
Never heard this song until yesterday. Immediately put it to a play list. It starts just like a St. Vincent song, which lead me to hear his vocals as a male St. Vincent. No disrespect meant. Thanks triple J for the exposure yet again to talent!
here because the algorithm recommended "achilles come down" to me and i fell in love-
Dude saamee
SAME loll
SAAAAAAAAME!
Lol, add yet another to the talley boys.
Yesss
I love people who found this band from Achilles Come Down and decided to listen to their other songs
I'm 61 and was driving my daughter's car with JJJ playing last weekend. Heard you guys live in Brisbane and decided I wanted to hear more. I'm impressed.
i like it when different generations like the same thing :)
Hi Ms Julie! You're really cool..
Driving to buy hair dye, decided to cover the grey and fall in love..
I'm here because I fell in love with these lyrics and the sound ❤️ sigh ✨ at 58 years young, still a dreamer
I''ll take this breathe and cherish the memory 💞 calling a love shot to embrace
Hey Julie your cool as fuck mate and that's coming from Wolverhampton ENGLAND xx
Im Not impressed with you ,ya old bludger

I'm not! Thanks to Brian.
You are an amazing human

klainesings yes yes and yes
You guys make me want to be a genie and grant all your wishes.
took the words right out of my mouth wow wow wow wow
♩ ♫ Goin' down the only road I've ever known... ♫ ♩

❤Wanbi in charge
YES THANK GOD SOMEONE ELSE SAID IT
Saw these guys yesterday as the opening act for Mumford and Sons in Cologne, Germany. They were PHENOMENAL! Glad to have discovered them!
So lucky, I haven't seen them yet.
I saw them too two days ago.
They were the opening act for M&S here in México.
They brought a great act.
You can just tell when someone has a passion for writing music.
I've been around for 59 years and this has to be among the best Aussie bands that I've heard so far and yet another amazing tune from them!
Ricki Coughlan
Geez there is some good aussie bands that have been around in that time
Gang of Youths and The Rubens take me back to awesome Aussie bands of the 80s, like The Sunny Boys
@ticklemaster your really gonna pull that one really?
You are 59 years old? Tell me the secret for maintaining your youthful looks!
winner yeahmate I’m 49
This album restores my faith in humanity
That Eastern erhu riff is so beautiful, absolutely takes me to another world
You want someone who wants you for who you are
I want someone to try, then let me down easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
Honey, it’s no secret that with matters of the heart
Unreserved, I’m irrational and rarely ever start
But since the world’s dark and often inhumane
Relish our condition, come drinking in the rain
‘Cause you remember when, after Paris
We all decided the best way to fight it was
Drink wine, dance here and pray
And make love that lasts with avengeance
So you can join the cowards all aboard the outrage train
You can stay afraid, or slit the throat of fear and be brave
And scratch the little itch
'Til you’re moving like a motherfucker up in this bitch
You wanted to fight for a cause
Then go out and fall in love
Don’t stop, don’t stop believing
In truth and grace in the grievance
You want someone who wants you for who you are
I want someone to try, or let me down easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
So look at me and tell me what I already know
That I trialed and I failed and it’s good to let it go
Sometimes life sucks, everything is lame
Not everything’s as easy as making lemonade
And so dismembering our state of balance
With lust requited, a gaze undivided
With a cool mind and warmth in your face
A good heart, a grace under pressure
You give me a good reason to be heartsick again
To be here, to be strong, to be oddly and boldly estranged
From the loss and bitter years
I found myself descending into tedium and fear
You wanted to fight for a cause
Then go out and fall in love
Don’t stop, don’t stop believing
In truth and grace in the grievance
You want someone who wants you for who you are
I want someone to try, then let me down easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
If it’s late, you’re drunk and wanting
A reason, some reason to live
I always, I always say
Just put on some Whitesnake
Honey, it’s no secret that I’ve been losing my way
In the weirdest of moments and the stupidest of ways
But hey, I’m still young and it’s gonna be okay
I got solipsism, baby, and I brought lemonade
I’ll surrender then, all my balance
And be excited and drink to tonight
It’s not a, a bad time, time spent with you
There’s cool lights and songs with good lyrics
We never have to talk again, whatever, up to you
But since you’re putting up with me
Here’s another toast just to you
Let’s dance, off the beat
Then mosey out together and say goodbye on the street
You wanted to fight for a cause
Then go out and love someone
Don’t stop, don’t stop believing
In truth and personal freedom
I want someone to want me for who I am
I want someone to try, or let me down easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
humzaali123 well I had a lot of these lyrics wrong haha!
Wow 🤩
Awesome!!!!! Thank you for adding the words to this magnificent song!!!!
Love you 😍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
CBC radio in Canada brought me here
The soft rock mixed with oriental instrumentals is some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard.
You just don't want it to end......It's a nice relaxing song, I love it when this song comes on the radio, while I'm driving, I get so happy.
fuck how do you remember all the words when singing in concert
@@tonybrady3244 ?
Sort of a mix of the killers and the strokes- awesome
When you’re walking along the road heading into your dream new job,
When you’re humming and singing this song and loving it,
When you think to yourself “I’m 70 years young” and still kicking it....life is good 🙂😎👍👍
My man
How could you thumbs down this magnificent piece of music.
Possibly the best song of the last 10 years.
Deserved no.1 in the hottest 100.
Definitely.
It was robbed big time!
I look up the song that beat him and it sounded like a cartoon chicken going nnn-na na in high pitched rapidfire was devoid of melody.

@@davidrobertson4301 Lay off the fairy dust you incoherent cabbage.
a travesty
This song will stand the test of time
I rarely ever hear the end of this song, due to me constantly restarting it halfway through because it's so good
cheap wine & gang of youths is the only combo i'll need in my life
I thought it was cheap wine and a 3 day growth
You could up grade on the wine a bit.
discovering new music thanks to Dan Ric, F1 is awesome
Absolutely robbed from the hottest 100 number 1!
Gary Laffy completely agree!
True
Gets better each time you listen :-)
I've had it on all day on repeat ey!
It really does hey
Mind exercise ya mean.music meant for yaayaa
Doesn’t it what 👌🏻
Hey a fellow, Hitchcock.
This song is perfect! they deserve more fame
Absolutely True!!! How can we make them absolutely Famous hey!!!
Saw the show last night opening for the Foo Fighters and I'm very impressed with Gang of Youths... Loved everything on the play list!
This gives me major The National vibes!
I can't believe that he's Samoan too it makes me so happy since we are such a small country and no one knows about us
Joshua Wilkie Thank you :) are you Samoan too?
Joshua Wilkie I hope one day you get to visit Samoa, it's a beautiful country. I also feel that the people there would really like you even though I don't know much about you 😂 and I too also live in Australia :)

Joshua Wilkie Yeah sure let's be friends, btw my real name is Meg :)
It's tunes as good as this that keep me excited about new music after 53 years listening to & collecting, a complete song on all fronts
Absolutely outstanding!!!!!
Just saw them perform this song at Hyde Park, it was honestly amazing and such a fun song
The strings in this song constantly make me cry.
I get lost into my version of a perfect world each time I listen to this song! His voice, the beat the lyrics have me playing it on repeat so often... I am hooked and in love :)
If a song measures emotion ..this song gives it all , fight for cause ...choose love, choose life, choose this song.
#2 hottest 100 australia 2017... thought it would get the #1 spot for sure!
Warms my heart to see so many people in their 60s and up in the comments. On my fave song from the band nonetheless. Good music gathers the best people no matter the era :)
Even in there fooking 70's

I only recently heard about Gang of Youths after reading Adam Duritz (Counting Crows) praise them and liking the sound of them. I gave them a listen and I'm really enjoying catching up on some great songs. This is definitely one of my favourites so far.

You can thank Daniel Ricciardo for bringing me here. Thanks Dan!
Me too lol hahaha
Me too

Awesome, how refreshing to write a song that lasts over 5 mins, not the lazy easy song writing we've been used to!
Let Me Down Easy......down to earth and full amazing music and rhythm......loving earthing voice vocal. A lot of joy with your music.
Thank god we have Radio X here in the UK otherwise we would probably never have heard of this superb tune
They've been playing Gang of Youths on Radio 6 Music for years
Ok then... Thank god we have Radio X and Radio 6 here in the UK otherwise we would probably never have heard of this superb tune... Happy now?

Whoa best tune ive heard in a long while, very very talented
I could listen listen to this band all day everyday....actually I do
I can’t stop playing this. It makes me happy which is amazing, been a long time sometimes life is “lame”
This song is a throwback to some of the great anthems of the 80s. It invokes a flood of memories past just awesome,
"...I've got solipsism baby, and I brought lemonade."
"...songs with great lyrics..."
They know
Amazing tune...fell in love with it the first time I heard it
oh my god i am in love with this song
An Angel's voice
This track is good, may have rubbed shoulders with you guys in Sydney, with the greatest drummer in the world.
The fact that this only has 3.2 m views is criminal
Thanks guys. A new song worth listening to!
I'm discovering them just now. It fells like a fresh gasp of air
I love these guys. They honestly are keeping me alive right now. Right now.
How good are these lads..? Told my kids about them maybe 3 years ago when they first came to the UK and the gigs were cancelled due to covid. Not seen them live yet but hopefully soon..
