Even though the man with the shaker percussion instrument is simply doing his job by just shaking an instrument. The intensity and passion on his face just makes you feel the love he has for his craft. I think his expressions set the tone for the setting and song perfectly.
Life's too short to even care at all oh I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh oh oh oh oh A wet world aches for a beat of a drum, oh If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away To some fortune that I, I should have found by now I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down Life's too short to even care at all oh I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue oh These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart oh oh oh oh A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away To some fortune that I, I should have found by now And so I run to the things they said could restore me Restore life the way it should be I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down Life's too short to even care at all oh I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away To some fortune that I, I should have found by now And so I run to the things they said could restore me Restore life the way it should be I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa
they sound amazing (of course) but what hits me every time is the background vocals + harmony (from the drummer, francois, i think?) - it's just so beautiful blended into sameer's voice. they all show so much passion for their music in live sessions, it's inspiring.
Once again, this is my song of the year. Perfect for calming me. Perfect for cheering me up. perfect for singing. Perfect for drowning out the arguments around my home. Perfect to loose myself in. I will never be able to thank Young The Giant enough for creating my safe place.
Sameer is incredibly talented. The whole bands is full of talents but damn if that voice doesn't separate them then Idk what else. That voice is just too damn good, especially live. :)
I still can't believe that my sister saw them, for free, at an Ugly Sweater Party back in 2007. The venue was someone's living room. And now, look where they are, a famous band. Amazing.
Ok seriously, I have been watching this video over and over since it came out. How it still only have 270k views is beyond me, this is infinitely better than the radio version of the song. His unedited voice is much better.
this is one of those times im in the car changing the radio station randomly and i come upon this!! hell yeah love when that happens great band now cant get enough :D
tiktok reminded me of the chokehold this song had on me but listening to the album version i thought this isn’t quite it and i came to yt and THIS this is the replayed and replayed version. i am transported. what an absolute bop
I can never listen to their music and not feel moved. The lyrics, Sameer's voice, and the instruments together are peerless. They are the best band out there. Cough Syrup was the first I listened to of Young the Giant. :D
Back here for some nostalgia

Evan E neville longbottom's doppleganger
He probably shakes the perfect amount of salt and pepper every time he eats.
he was in the original group before they got big.
@@dblackperez what's his name
The drummer is harmonizing like a boss
you mean the baby rattle?
3:38 I love how they look to each other like "This is soo good man"
This is much better than the highly polished original. This just sounds far more human and honest
you're right!
🙄
Let's take a moment to appreciate how amazing he sings live..
such a beautiful voice
It's the only song I never get tired of. And this performance is incredible
His voice... amazingly beautiful
"A dark world aches for a splash of the Sun"
Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh oh oh oh oh
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum, oh
If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down
Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue oh
These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart oh oh oh oh
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh
If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
And so I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
And so I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa
One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa
The way Sameer and François look at each other at 3:38 like saying "we sound so good". I just...I can't. I love it🥺❤️
they sound amazing (of course) but what hits me every time is the background vocals + harmony (from the drummer, francois, i think?) - it's just so beautiful blended into sameer's voice. they all show so much passion for their music in live sessions, it's inspiring.
still a solid piece even now. amazing
These Big Ugly Yellow Couch recordings are fantastic.
i love the smirks between 3:30 and 3:41. everyone loved that harmonising
Doesn't matter who you are or how you got here, you can't deny that this song speaks to at least a bit of your soul.
This is Jan 12, 2021 and I still love this song and all the wonderful talent these men have! 🌺
Literally the only band that I HAVE to listen to acoustic, rather than the album, because they're so much better live. I can't even.
He has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.
holy mother of all mankind, if beauty had a voice- it'd be his. he shows so much passion, IT'S MADNESS!
They absolutely killed it...great harmony in his voice..
Amazing version of Cough Syrup. Love Sameer's performance even just sitting on the couch.
Once again, this is my song of the year. Perfect for calming me. Perfect for cheering me up. perfect for singing. Perfect for drowning out the arguments around my home. Perfect to loose myself in. I will never be able to thank Young The Giant enough for creating my safe place.
Oh man this version has such a hold on me, 2022 and I’m still here
Sameer is incredibly talented. The whole bands is full of talents but damn if that voice doesn't separate them then Idk what else. That voice is just too damn good, especially live. :)
His voice is so magical 😍😍😍
