This is our pump-up song. My gf of 4+ years has been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of cancer that is inoperable and incurable. We don't know how much time is left but know it isn't much. But we use our mutual appreciation of music, art, food and most of all, people to get through the moments. We dance to it, we sing with it, we feel it. Thank you, for this very special piece of art - it has a very deep meaning with us

I worked as an assistant director on this video! The guys were really cool despite having flown to SoCal from Texas overnight to shoot the video. They still managed to give it their all. I'm still friends with the actor who played the artist, to this day.
@@ohh_werdok so apparently the actor’s name is Bryan James. However I couldn’t find him on google because there’s a billion actors named Bryan James apparently.
I'm suffering from a deep depression and anxiety disorder. I lost my son to suicide last yr and my best friend on the same day. I'm not sure if I'll ever get any better. I'm so lonesome and I want them back.💔💔
This vid is about a guy who doesn't know who he is or what he's doing. He finds a interest in something(himself). People are trying to pull him away but he keeps on going even though his body tells him no but he wants more and in the end he realizes who he really is.
I was not gifted musically (sigh) so I find it extremely attractive when the music just oozes out of every pore from a gifted musician. It’s not necessarily their face or body that makes them attractive it’s the passion in their voice and movement of their body as they are performing. The way he moves just adds a whole other feel to the song. Sameer is amazing! This band deserves more recognition. This is a song that will never get old!
That's not true. If it were a ugly person doing the same, you or any other person wouldn't find that to be attractive let's be honest here. I hate when girls do this.
+Hailey Mitchell This song is pretty great and I really don't like most YTG songs. If you like it, i don't think it can be unhealthy. It's only a song.
Lots of YTG songs make me wanna cry for some inexplicable reason... It's so strange because this song is so happy but it kind of makes me want to burst into tears because it's so beautiful.
One of the best bands of their time. Since the first time I heard them 5 years ago I was mesmerized. They came to South Lake Tahoe and played a free concert in the middle of winter. It was one of the most enchanting things I’ve ever witnessed and from that day ok I was a fan. I’ve now seen them live twice and they absolutely kill it at their live shows. Lifetime fan here
I remember back in 2011 I was running the Austin Livestrong marathon. I was about 20 miles in and this song came on. Helped me push through the run. Trained for 4 months. Finished my first marathon in 4hrs26 min.
I remember when these guys hadn’t made it big yet and were called The Jakes. I remember seeing them and meeting them at bottom of the hill in San Francisco. Feels like so long ago. Time flies
"... were called The Jakes" Now that would be an INTERESTING name of an ALL-MALE band 👍👍 (PS: If your statement is true, I don't know why they changed the original name which was much cooler than the current name!)
discovered this song a few months ago and honestly, love it, feel it, get it. we tend to forget how healing music can be and if you've ever faced wanting to give up, cash it in, quit, this is definitely an anthem. i would've thought by now it'd be over, my body'd give up, i could just leave, but the spirit i think is what keeps many of us here despite wanting to go. amazing song and a favorite of my tribe's... we sing along and loud!
Getting older, this song really resonates with me. As our bodies start showing ( and feeling) signs of wear, we just keep pushing through, trying to hold onto as much of our youth as we can. I got back into skiing this year, after being away from it for so many years. It made me realise how you have to make the most of the time you have and do things whilst your body will allow.
I don’t know what inspired this song. But it sings to my soul. Every time I feel defeated and losing myself this song gets me pumped to keep on the good fight.
This was the first song I listened to when I coke, after some rehab and self realization I don’t need coke to get amped up. I now listen to this song and not crave anything! Be strong to all that are suffering from addiction. I fought it and won! 4:10
That song is awsome i work out every day and night this newfie never quit and i will be 78 in August also kick boxing judo and yoga do security and volunteers and help others
Wow. I just teared up a bit. Beautiful song with a beautiful message, complimented by a beautiful video with a beautiful message. Well done, everyone involved.
i cant believe this song is 12 years old ive first heard a few days ago been hooked ever since i love alternative music i could listen everyday i would love too see these guys in concert
Saw them last night, and just when they got off the stage they jumped back on for an encore! They preformed mind over matter and this song. Literally one of the best nights of my life, so magical. Highly recommend seeing them live!!
This song has so much meaning for so many. The millions of humans that every day wake up as they continue to fall apart and push themselves everyday past the breaking point effectively destroying themselves just to survive another day or to help someone else survive another day. This has been the Funeral song for far to many people as it alone tells the story within the chorus of these lives that no one sees but because they existed so many others can live. Thank you. This will play at my funeral as well.
Your message had my mind thinking I must have been wrong about My Body and that YTG being the original Artists to this song . I comprehended your message to mean that VOLBEAT recorded My Body First and that YTG covered it . Blew my damn mind . But after a bit of research , I was happy to conclude that either I took your message out of context , or you might have it Backwords, thinking that VOLBEAT wrote My Body first , then YTG covered this track . For those who may not know , Which I sure didn’t until just a few minutes ago , YTG released My Body in 2010 , then VOLBEAT covered this track in 2013 . Anyways , Had me Head all Twisted and Tangled with that post :) But kinda got it figured out eventually . VOLBEAT didn’t do too bad of a job . But in my Uneducated Music Grading Opinion, the original is still just a bit better 👍🏼
Metallica was originally a cover band and it's actually quite refreshing for superstars to do live karaoke. For as much as I love Volbeat's heavier tracks, the pop covers are starting wear down my armor 🤷♂️ Just got into Shinedown too, and those are Crossfit anthems
@@boogiedown_ just saw this wow I just hit 2 years clean I worked as an addiction counselor at a rehab and now I’m a case manager for those im addiction thanks for commenting on that or I’d have never seen it and seen how far I’ve come ❤️you’re right shit sure does get better. 😊❤️
@@Jamiegirl79 two years is crazy man. Seeing you comment on a song that vibed with me, idk. I felt the need to let people know it's worth it. I'm still in the struggle myself but I know it's worth it when you reach that point of equilibrium. I'll get there again brodi
@@boogiedown_ hardest thing I’ve ever done never dreamed I’d make it 2 days let alone 2 yrs… it’s worth it ❤️I was addicted for 20 yrs one day I was just done. Good luck to you brother your day will come it will just click.
So many people have used this song as inspired to get through difficult times go times or chronic illness , It's a theme song that you can knock-me-down and I will get backup, And rock on

I cannot get over how amazing the singer's voice is. So much range, control, tone, power. Superb.
Agreed @delchavez,
The power of his voice is amazing.
I'd like to see more Indian vocalists like this.
They sound just as good live.
Maybe thats the reason he sings in a band
Just guessing
Sameer rocks!
saw them live, yes he has a insane voice.
I worked as an assistant director on this video! The guys were really cool despite having flown to SoCal from Texas overnight to shoot the video. They still managed to give it their all. I'm still friends with the actor who played the artist, to this day.
The actor looked so familiar but im sure ive never seen him before. I was looking through the comments to see if anyone recognized him. Thats so cool!
Thaaaats cool as shit.
Who is the actor? I swear i've seen him in something but cant find it :(
Actor??
@@ohh_werdok so apparently the actor’s name is Bryan James. However I couldn’t find him on google because there’s a billion actors named Bryan James apparently.
For anyone suffering from depression, addiction, illness, or any ailment...this is for us
I definitely agree with you on that 🙂

As someone trying to make the best out of life while being chronically ill, I feel like this is my theme song
I came here to say something similar!! 😂🙌🏻
Get better boo boo we need you 🙏
i hope you’re doing well
@@leoniezimmermann3735 Xc g ttf
You got this brother 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
I just love that you can feel the song before it's shouted!
Can’t believe this was 10 years ago. I remember being a little kid playing NHL 15 on my/my dads ps3 and listening to this song. Good times.
same fucking shit dude wow
@@lilchucky342 yah me to on xbox 360 😩
I had nhl 15 on my ps3 in college haha. Me and my roommate would sing this everytime it came on when I'd play
I was in high school at the time
Xbox one for me 😭😭😭
I listened to this song while getting clean from methadone, 10 years clean and sober today!!
That's awesome, congrats on being 10 years sober.
Stay strong
Congratulations mate, hang in there
Congrats that is awesome, hope to find you are doin well.. 🙏
Keep up the good work.
One day at a time.
It's funny what u remember to connect with moments in your life.

He's. So. Attractive. And his voice! Gah! Thanks Young the Giant for a song that I can always run to!
omg I was just thinking the same thing😍😍😍never actually seen the lead singer until now❤
Is it justo me, or does he look like Nick from New Girl? Please agree with me. Tell me I'm not going crazy!!!
Anarchy Films you're going crazy :p jk
Noooooooooo!!!!!!
Anarchy Films yes he does look like Nick from New girl its not just you!!!

In fairness Sameer is gorgeous anyway
I’m an aging Boomer and appreciate this song as really good rock n roll: good vocals& guitar. Tight band
to be fair, he IS attractive tho
That's not true. If it were a ugly person doing the same, you or any other person wouldn't find that to be attractive let's be honest here. I hate when girls do this.
Vocals sublime. Guitar play amazing. Drums great rhythm. Message positive. All adds up to a great song
I think the amount i love this song is unhealthy.
True 😂
+In All Other Aspects then love me a little

So weird why this doesn't have over a billion views. I think it's one of the best feel good songs ever made.
To think this is their first song they made, and it is the best song i have ever heard 😍
As someone with an autoimmune disease, this song hits different. I know it could have different meanings to different people but it's inspiring to me.
I WANNA CRY MAN THIS SONG GIVES ME SO MANY GOOD FEELINGS I HAVE FUCKING GOOSEBUMPS WTF I FEEL INVINCIBLE
Fucking good music.
yeah
eschelar agreed
+1
Fook yeah
@screwball squirrel such a huge volbeat fan bruh....literally their entire collection is AMAZING!!!!
i always come back to this c:
Best song from NHL 15 by a mile
Lots of YTG songs make me wanna cry for some inexplicable reason... It's so strange because this song is so happy but it kind of makes me want to burst into tears because it's so beautiful.
same
staticreature this is so true!!!! It's so hard to explain why though!!
because their music is A minor dominant. I learned it from my musician son. ;)
Prolly cuz it's about rich kids addicted to the hair oh on.
I am so sorry for disappointing you but the song is actually in F major. cheers
Literally perfect workout song. Fast tempo, sweet guitar, "my body tells me no but I won't quit cuz I want more"? Seriously. Perfect workout song.
Saw them in concert yesterday. This was the final song. Everyone was jumping & dancing at the chorus. It was so much fun.👍

Omg yessss
I LOVE THIS SONG!! Especially the very beginning of the song with the electric guitar getting pumped up!
His voice has such a beautiful tone, so unique, pure and rare. The song is perfect!!! ❤❤❤
+j. u
i love
Pump up workout song. My body tells me no but I don't quit! Until it's done!
This song still feels so new & fresh in 2024
July 21st 2024 as of now.
Agreed 👍🏼 just saw them in Philly and I’m still on another planet. So blown away. Love them!
Depression is a bitch. This song helps cheer me up.
Me too ,... 🤟
Me as well! Keep fighting brother!
Many of us are in the boat. Any support helps

Easily one of my fav songs still here in 2020
Was about to hear it again!
They absolutely crushed this song live in Salt Lake tonight. Still feeling the electricity in the air from all the bands tonight.
This was the first song I listened to when I coke, after some rehab and self realization I don’t need coke to get amped up. I now listen to this song and not crave anything! Be strong to all that are suffering from addiction. I fought it and won! 4:10
I came here specifically to say this song is beautiful. Thanks.
my fav lyric of the song is ''When I was a cool kid''1:42 its gives me an old time vibe
So glad I stumbled upon this performer. He speaks my language! Thank you, Young the Giant! You are indeed a giant in my body,
Everytime Iisten to Young the Giant I always have a smile from ear to ear.I adore them!
2011 was an great year for modern indie / alternative/rock music in my opinion
2013 was better with Radioactive sail and demons
+Micigan29 3 of the most over hyped songs in recent memory?
This is a great song for me because I have a missing spinal bone in my lower back and live in continuous pain but keep living to the fullest ✨️
I love that this is from their debut album. It always amazes me that people can just come out with music that sounds so nice right off the bat:)
I feel like 13M views is not enough for this vid, the song is just perfect

I have Multiple Sclerosis and this song is so motivational. It reminds me that I can keep going if I set my mind to do it.
Hope you’re doing well. That is so beautiful, I will always think of that when I hear this song now

Is this the best skate rock song of all time? It's indescribable how much I want to hit the streets when I hear this.
This is my favorite band
I like this song. I'm glad it's in NHL 15.
Shame about the actual game though :(
***** Also the oilers used it as their intro song for the 2013-2014 season
Too bad the game itself is garbage.
The habs still play it
yes
Years can go by, but I will always be back to this masterpiece
this song is so good
Doesn't matter if it consists of two cords, it's still an awesomesauce song
