I think every piece of art involves emotion. I think a lot of times adding too much emotion can be detrimental. However anything with glass animals has this kinda care put into it 😂
This song did exactly was Dave wanted. It feels like a nostalgic memory that could make you feel sad in the moment while it only came out recently. It’s perfect.
@@familyguygamer4203 You know, I don’t really think so. Listen to some pop and then come back again. The difference is MASSIVE. Glass Animals is pretty original and anyway they’re more indie pop if anything
@@likeysoob from all the research I've done, I actually believe it's about the same person that "Agnes" was about. pretty tragic story tbh. the lyrics become really dark the more you think about them.
i absolutely love glass animals, every song of theirs just feels really authentic. how to be a human being will probably always be my favorite album, but dreamland was such a good album as well, it really deserved all the hype it got/gets
@@SunnivaAMV Zaba is my favorite too. When I say them in Bonaroo it was their only album. It takes me back to a really good time in my life. Very funky and groovy sounding.
Even though this song was made in 2021, It brings back memories of 2009-2014 It’s really beautiful and nostalgic. I’m definitely gonna grow up and hear this one day and probably cry from the nostalgia.
Heat waves was my brother’s favourite song before he passed away he would always play it on the bass & he died in june so the song has such a meaningful sense to me. I try play it whenever i can.
Literally crying on the floor This speaks too loud with me. And I know that it does with a lot of other people here as well So thank you Glass Animals, for giving us this masterpiece that gets me sobbing every damn time
@@Tepyr I haven't heard this one yet But will definitely check it out rn I'm sorry for you loss Whoever or whatever it was, I'm sure it was hard for you But stay strong okay? Life still will give you good things too okay?
I lost my boyfriend back in September on the 21st. It was my 18th birthday. This song helps me relive our time together.. those late nights.. it makes me wish I could’ve saved him. This song feels like home. He was home. Beautiful song. I can’t wait to see him in March. Concert is March 20th && my love left me the 21. About the 6 month mark. It’ll be more than a concert for me.
Like he said, the chorus can apply to a bunch of different situations, each personal and valid in its own. I have a friend who died earlier this year and this song makes me think of him so much.
definitely one of those timeless bops you truly will never get tired of listening to. i think he beautifully captured the emotion behind every lyric because the way he described it is exactly how i envision the feeling/nostalgia when i hear the song, just beautiful.
I think he’s talking about his friend that he wrote the song Agnes about,, they unfortunately took their own life. It’s just my speculation but it fits the best tbh
I listened to this song throughout an extremely abusive relationship. When it first came on the radio I couldn’t stop listening to it. It hit different when I would roll my windows down and feel the wind driving the beach scenic route to work everyday now this song is connected to that blissful memory. This song smells like that memory, the beach, the feeling of the wind the warmth of summer and the peaceful vibes it brought me when all I could ever feel was the hardships of abuse. The lyrics resonated with me bc I couldn’t make him happy but I stayed bc I pictured us being perfect one day. But the more I tried to make him happy the more abusing he got and so I had to let go but I still think about him and “what could’ve been”
knowing that the artist & i are sharing in the same heartbreak & similar (idk actually sounded the same lol) situation makes me so unbelievably happy i love glass animals so much & my little babies are growing so glad
Even the only reason I discovered this song is because of a FanFiction of two guys who play Minecraft, it's still impossible not to love and surrender together. It's so perfect, and the feeling is so wonderful it's just indescribable.
Love this song. My first rabbit Leroy became a emotional support animal and strong family member. He traveled with us and was a complete gentleman. He died unexpectedly from a tumor this year. It was uncurable. I had to have him put to sleep. Yes, he was an animal and naturally only weighed one pound but I think about him and miss him so much. . . "Heat Waves "is our song .Thank you Glass Animals for making this song to help us remember Leroy Blue.
Yeah I lost a few friends during summer too. This song is like a nostalgic timeline of my life when I close my eyes memories flood into my head while I listen to Heatwaves.
Also I absolutely love how anytime you listen to this song since there isn’t a clarification on whether it was a girl/boy that hurt him it leaves such a broad perspective on who you may envision during the song.
HI DAVE thank you for taking the time to explain one of your most personal songs to us. I wonder if Heat Waves references the same friend you were so close to that you wrote Agnes about. Another heartbreakingly beautiful GA song that I ABSOLUTELY love. What a gift you have of turning your emotions into songs that we can all relate to. LOVE GLASS ANIMALS 💙
Saw these lot live they were THE BEST oml best day of my life period. The stage presence that Dave has is unreal . Heatwaves is my favourite song by them(my favourite song ever aswell) not necessarily the best song by them but my favourite for the soul reason I am so emotionally attached to it BCS it was the first song I listened to by them and introduced me to my now favourite band. I also just love the way it sounds idk there's just something about this song that makes me FEEL SOMETHING AND I DONT FEEL ALOT OF THINGS. So thanks dave Joe ed and Drew for this and the rest of your songs they are also *chefs kiss*
this song hits me so incredibly hard. despite being written about missing someone else, i recently realized it triggers for me a sense of nostalgia for a past version of myself. it takes me back to a very precise time in my life when things were relatively easy and carefree in some ways but i was so unbelievably depressed and held the ugliest feelings towards myself. i look back on that time with a sense of sad fondness, longing for when life felt so much simpler but also feeling a sense of grief for the state of my younger self’s perception of my value and place in the world. i wish i could have shown that person i was the beauty in living as i know it now. grateful for this song and how it puts into music what i struggle to define with words alone 💙
you know an artist is good when they manage to convey the vibes and emotions they had envisioned while making the song. from projecting onto media, to realizing that you and this one really important person are just not cut out to be together, this song hits so many targets. glad to see them blowing up
I can without a doubt say that this has to be the only song in this century that has lyrically resonated with me in on an emotional level. Like I was left speechless when I paid close attention to the lyrics.
Many see glass animals as heat waves , but their past works were also really well produced und were unique, personally I prefer "zaba" their first album , that was such a perfect album But I also like their new sound , this guys are capable of doing completly different genres
Glass Animals have been one of my favorite bands for years now. I finally got to see them live a couple weeks ago and wow their energy in person is so incredible. I’m beyond happy they are getting a tons of recognition and attention lately. 100% deserved, their music, passion, everything is just out of this world🧡
I really cant hear this song anymore. I love it, its a beautiful song, but every time i hear it i cant stop crying. This song blew up at the same time when i lost someone really important to me. :(
i've never heard of glass animals until i randomly heard this song and was immediately hooked on it. great job, the emotions in it stick to you like glue and never leave ♥️
This song makes me think about my ex who I still believe was my soulmate. I didn't realize he wrote the song with the same concept, missing someone you loved so much, and it didn't work out, but you can't stop thinking about them.
I listed to heatwaves 10 times in a row today, it’s one of my favorite song and dreamland is one of my favorite albums. This song makes me going into a whole different reality, I love it so much and it has changed me, and my life. Glass animals are the ones who changed my life 💙💚
This song literally narrated every single bit of my toxic dragging on five year relationship with a boy. Then my best friend… it makes me feel some indescribable things and I’m very grateful for it. I experience summer depression so late nights in June are just chalk full of breakdowns and freak outs. Masterpiece
cette chanson me fait toujours pleurer. J'ai perdu mon meilleur ami récemment, et ça a été vraiment dur sans eux. genre, vraiment dur. ils me manquent tous les jours. belle chanson, dave. merci de partager vos expériences avec nous. chaque jour, il devient un peu plus facile de respirer :)
Before this song existed I was already listening to the Other Side of Paradise and Pork Soda, and then a *fanfiction* **cough cough** brought me to this song and made me realise how good Glass Animals' lyrics are. Will probably become a bigger fan in the future, thanks!
Wow Davey, you did PERFECT. I've been listening to the album on repeat since you released it. Heat Waves,, you NAILED it in the meaning . I felt EVERYTHING you explained.
I really admire how everytime I listen to this song whether I’m sad or happy I just think of the same moment when I first listen to it and I was riding home with my friends and the sun was so hot that you could actually see the heat waves on the car. It also makes me think about my very first bf even tho we weren’t meant for each other we had some good times but it also reminds me of how great my life is now that I’m single bc i no longer have to deal with worrying whether I’m making someone happy or sad and hurting myself in the process.
first came across glass animals playing fifa 2017. “Youth” was on the soundtrack. was one of my favourite songs for months . Heatwaves has the same feel absolutely brilliant
I’ve lived in foster care a lot of my life, right now being my third time and I came here in June 2018. This song really describes my life with my mom and how hard it’s been for a long long time. This song is amazing and a great rehab/escape. Thank you❤️
I am super happy to see them get the love they deserve but also a little jalous becuase everytime I have seen them live it was a very intimate venue and everyone there was a big fan. Everyone just learning about them needs to listen to Zaba.
i found this song through a fanficiton that helped me through rough times and then this song did too. my cousin found this song through fifa, and this song brings back mermories and promises more to come
Im so glad the fanfiction exists, without it, so many of us never would have found this masterpiece. Even ppl who haven't read the fanfiction found it when it when it got popular because of the fanfiction. The song totally deserves it 💯
Some people hate the fact that a fanfiction is always brought up when this song is played. But, honestly, without it so many people would never have found this song. Including me. I'm so thankful for the fanfiction, as stupid as it sounds, because this song is the only thing that eases my mind.
@@Dustrin yeah! I mean honestly, I like and dislike that it gained popularity that way, but in the end I'm grateful glass animals gained popularity and much more ppl can listen to them!!
Real genuine question: what is the fanfiction/fandom everyone is talking about in the comments? (I only really have three/four fandoms of choice and I just don't know what's happening outside of em lmao)
@@eleonorec.4899 ah, there's a fanfiction called Heatwaves about the ship DeeamNotFound 😂 It's a ship between the Minecraft players Dream and GeorgeNotFound ^^
Even though it’s hyped up because of the fic, it’s hyped for all the wrong reasons, and the song is literally always associated with an “uwu gay ship” 😭
i'm so thankful i got introduced to this song and band, never thought it would've happened through a _fanfic_ though... when art gets tangled up, beautiful moments are created.
i’ve been listening to glass animals for 4 years now and i love that they’re all finally getting some recognition. it makes me so happy to hear them on the radio and i’m so glad they are getting attention now.
This is awesome! Very well done Dave. Sharing of yourself like this, you've given deep medicine to a global audience, it must be surreal. Clearly you have parked your coordinates brilliantly. Thank you. I've recruited you as my inner parent.
Yea bro .....what he said about watching a movie n u start reflecting to the movie n start drifting from the movie into Ur mind....I swear i cam relate
Glass Animals to me is more than music... It's been there for me when I was sad, when I was confused, upset, angry, tired, starving, in pain and when insomnia was killing me... when this song came out it was at the top of my every playlist and I still can't stop listening to it 💖
This song is my favorite. It tops every other song ever. My family moved to Alabama from Las Vegas when I was in 2nd grade, and the road shimmer lyric reminds me of driving around the city as a kid. I mourn for the distraught, lonely child that underwent the experiences that I underwent. I also mourn the memory of the city. I lived in Las Vegas for my entire childhood and it wasn’t all that positive, but it’s still nostalgic and bittersweet to think about it.
got tickets for glass animals near the start of covid, concerts were canceled. now they've gotten so popular that i cant imagine being able to pay for the current prices 🥲 still trying to save up to see them live... htbahb has been my favorite album for the longest time. finally got a tattoo of the funky little squiggle on the ZABA cover. i WILL see them live dammit!
Always glad to see an artist actually investing so much emotion to songwriting
lil pump
Really cool
@@valentino695 man shut up
I think every piece of art involves emotion. I think a lot of times adding too much emotion can be detrimental. However anything with glass animals has this kinda care put into it 😂
You ever hear of Kid Laroi?
1. “Heat Wave”???
2. So glad Glass Animals is getting some more recognition. It always makes me smile whenever I hear them playing on the radio.
Its playing all the time on the radio rn in my country its so cool and funny :DD
Heard it first time on fifa 21.. it stuck on me
Same! I love them so much,, I'm glad their name isng like,, getting dragged in the dirt. I love their songs
“More Recognition” they literally got nominated for a Grammy my guy
yeah! it's so cool to see the bands you like grow :)
This song did exactly was Dave wanted. It feels like a nostalgic memory that could make you feel sad in the moment while it only came out recently. It’s perfect.
it made me feel sad that glass animals just became generic pop garbage
@@familyguygamer4203 You know, I don’t really think so. Listen to some pop and then come back again. The difference is MASSIVE. Glass Animals is pretty original and anyway they’re more indie pop if anything
Watch the Karaoke of this song on my channel, follow me for more updates
Whoever broke his heart shattered it into million pieces….
right?🥺
I don’t think anybody hurt his heart. I think it was a song about his best friend who passed away, which I think was a pet.
@@likeysoob from all the research I've done, I actually believe it's about the same person that "Agnes" was about. pretty tragic story tbh. the lyrics become really dark the more you think about them.

@@jocelynhlywa995 yeah, at least that's the narrative we got from Dave, though he's been (understandably) secretive about the topic

Ah yes must be by Glass Animal
@@H20chica14 Lol, yes.
LMFAOOOOOOO
heat wave by glass animal is my favourite song ever
Yes a singular wave
Such a good song, I never get tired of listening to this song
I feel u man. It sticks to the idea that he was going for really well and I feel like it’s an idea everyone can relate to and understand
Unless you work at Amazon

I’m already tired of it.
agreed! This song feels timeless
This guy managed to fuse catchy pop music with deep lyricism, amazing.
i absolutely love glass animals, every song of theirs just feels really authentic. how to be a human being will probably always be my favorite album, but dreamland was such a good album as well, it really deserved all the hype it got/gets
Absolutely love How to be a Human Being! I've listened through countless times.
i know like 3 or 4 songs but ive known them for like so many years it makes me so happy that their song is so hyped now ^^
My favorite is ZABA, I remember hearing Exxus on Reign many years ago and then found the album, fell in love with how strange and sexy it sounded
@@SunnivaAMV heard it back in 2015, been addicted ever since! zaba ftw

i want him to do "it's all so incredibly loud" PLSSS that would make me
I think on the music video he commented the meaning he wanted to achieve with the song, if you mean that?
I’ve lived in foster care a lot of my life, right now being my third time and I came here in June 2018. This song really describes my life with my mom and how hard it’s been for a long long time. This song is amazing and a great rehab/escape. Thank you❤️
How are you now?
How are you now ?
Glass animals has been my favorite band for years,this song is wonderful
I am super happy to see them get the love they deserve but also a little jalous becuase everytime I have seen them live it was a very intimate venue and everyone there was a big fan. Everyone just learning about them needs to listen to Zaba.
i found this song through a fanficiton that helped me through rough times and then this song did too. my cousin found this song through fifa, and this song brings back mermories and promises more to come
Im so glad the fanfiction exists, without it, so many of us never would have found this masterpiece. Even ppl who haven't read the fanfiction found it when it when it got popular because of the fanfiction. The song totally deserves it 💯
Some people hate the fact that a fanfiction is always brought up when this song is played. But, honestly, without it so many people would never have found this song. Including me. I'm so thankful for the fanfiction, as stupid as it sounds, because this song is the only thing that eases my mind.
@@Dustrin yeah! I mean honestly, I like and dislike that it gained popularity that way, but in the end I'm grateful glass animals gained popularity and much more ppl can listen to them!!
Real genuine question: what is the fanfiction/fandom everyone is talking about in the comments? (I only really have three/four fandoms of choice and I just don't know what's happening outside of em lmao)
@@eleonorec.4899 ah, there's a fanfiction called Heatwaves about the ship DeeamNotFound 😂 It's a ship between the Minecraft players Dream and GeorgeNotFound ^^
Even though it’s hyped up because of the fic, it’s hyped for all the wrong reasons, and the song is literally always associated with an “uwu gay ship” 😭
song came out when my dog died. this song will forever be for him. you even mention it can be someone grieving their dog.
"People have written amazing stories about this song" I don't know about you but there's a certain one that comes to mind 👀
i wonder...
I wonder
I wonder
I wonder
I wonder...
5:00 God, I needed to hear that. Thank you.
I had the entire dreamland album on loop for ages- been a fan for a couple years now and im so glad they are getting more recognition :)
i'm so thankful i got introduced to this song and band, never thought it would've happened through a _fanfic_ though... when art gets tangled up, beautiful moments are created.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE☝️
It's really crazy how a teen making a fanfic on 2 Minecraft block men brought me here and now, he's one of my favourite artist
So much thought and feeling in this song, beautiful.
i’ve been listening to glass animals for 4 years now and i love that they’re all finally getting some recognition. it makes me so happy to hear them on the radio and i’m so glad they are getting attention now.
Heat wave
AHHHHH. My fav song of glass animals
I love this song so much. Don’t get sick of it. Thank you, Genius and Dave Bayley!
This is my favorite song 💕💕💕
This is awesome! Very well done Dave. Sharing of yourself like this, you've given deep medicine to a global audience, it must be surreal. Clearly you have parked your coordinates brilliantly. Thank you. I've recruited you as my inner parent.
Yea bro .....what he said about watching a movie n u start reflecting to the movie n start drifting from the movie into Ur mind....I swear i cam relate
Glass Animals to me is more than music... It's been there for me when I was sad, when I was confused, upset, angry, tired, starving, in pain and when insomnia was killing me... when this song came out it was at the top of my every playlist and I still can't stop listening to it 💖
Dave Bailey is insanely talented
This song is my favorite. It tops every other song ever. My family moved to Alabama from Las Vegas when I was in 2nd grade, and the road shimmer lyric reminds me of driving around the city as a kid. I mourn for the distraught, lonely child that underwent the experiences that I underwent. I also mourn the memory of the city. I lived in Las Vegas for my entire childhood and it wasn’t all that positive, but it’s still nostalgic and bittersweet to think about it.
so proud of glass animals 😭😭
I always come back to this video and it just proves we need more Glass Animals X Genius Collabs
got tickets for glass animals near the start of covid, concerts were canceled. now they've gotten so popular that i cant imagine being able to pay for the current prices 🥲 still trying to save up to see them live... htbahb has been my favorite album for the longest time. finally got a tattoo of the funky little squiggle on the ZABA cover. i WILL see them live dammit!
