Lyrics:

Stop!
The train is riding
Down to the station where you lived
When we were school kids
Hey!
The rails are caught now
And I am falling down
Fools in a spiral
Round this town of steam
My body tells me no!
But I won’t quit
‘Cuz I want more, ‘cuz I want more
My body tells me no!
But I won’t quit
‘Cuz I want more, ‘cuz I want more
Stop
The train is riding
Down to the station where I lived

Is it my fault that The fallen embers burn?

When I was a cool kid

Hey!
Is it my fault that
The fallen embers burn?
Down in a spiral
Round your crown of thieves
My body tells me no!
But I won’t quit
‘Cuz I want more, ‘cuz I want more
My body tells me no!
But I won’t quit
‘Cuz I want more, ‘cuz I want more
And it rides out of town
Oh,
It’s my road
It’s my road
It’s my road
It’s my road
It’s my road
It’s my road
And it’s my war, it’s my war,
It’s my war, it’s my war
His eyes are open
His eyes are open
Hey, hey, hey
My body tells me no!
But I won’t quit
‘Cuz I want more, ‘cuz I want more
My body tells me no!
But I won’t quit
‘Cuz I want more, ‘cuz I want more
It rides out of town
 

Fans of Arcade Fire, The Killers, and other 1980s-steeped bands will enjoy Young the Giant’s chiming, jangly guitars, powerful beat, and anthemic vocals. Originally known as The Jakes, Young the Giant adopted its new moniker in 2010 and has since released two top 20 records: 2014’s Mind Over Matter and 2016’s Home of the Strange.

Their self-titled debut remains in heavy rotation here at DWB Radio, but what I really want to know is whether I can pull off vocalist Sameer Gadhia’s hairstyle?

And because I love you, here is the video for Cough Syrup, another great track from the band’s 2010 debut:
