Young the Giant - "Islands" In The Open Session

[LaFilleQuotidienne]

These guys are pure perfection.

[thatawesomeguyaaron]

The bass player must be the coolest guy on earth.

[sunilrare55]

wooowwwwwwww.......

[Thedasaurus]

Them being out by the ocean makes this music twice as peaceful and beautiful.

[keithkungfool]

its like john mayer and jack johnson met the script and they formed one band. THIS^

[bballplaya8638]

I never thought that I could love anyone as much as Marcus Mumford, but I have a feeling that Marcus may have just met his match. I'm in love

[KylePlaysHisGuitar]

such an amazing voice that man has.

[Roblp91]

I listen to them since they were called "The Jakes" and had like 4 songs. Big fan since then.

I feel very proud. I want to buy the album, but I live in Mexico.

If they become another thing, but better musicians... I think I'll make a hate letter to every single one of them. Jakes, don't you ever do that to me. Please.

[JoeBoyVlog]

My suggestion box keeps wanting me to watch Young the Giant.......so i shall

[03bryony]

Would happily marry any one of those guys ^.^

[ozqadir]

How about a duet with Lana Del Ray?

[sk8erpro10]

They remind me of the zora's from zelda. I wanted more music like that and this fills that void.

[SilentBum]

@sk8erpro10 DUDE, I've been playing Zelda lately and I kept thinking that SAME exact thing. If you took out the lyrics and just left the music and maybe the humming bits, I kept imagining an underwater cavern the Zoras would live in. Crazy coincidence, lol.

[Paisadelosdeverdad]

Words not get in the way. I love this guys . 

[JacobGoodwinMusic]

I wish this song was longer!....

[justineblahblah]

This video never loses its badassness.

[JacobGoodwinMusic]

I'm jealous of that bird at the end.

[xCecex1]

The number 1 reason why my homework doesn't get done: Young the Giant.

[leslietan94]

this song sounds better live than the one in their album. !

[leslietan94]

love this song ! on repeat all day :)

[ebeam1289]

I've just discovered this band and I absolutely L-O-V-E them.

Their music is inspirational.

[emeshme]

My cousin lives with their manager...BE JEALOUS

[emeshme]

I just put this on repeat until I fall asleep...every night

[OfficialMichaelC]

@emeshme No WAY! ME TOO!

[emeshme]

This makes my heart melt everytime I hear it.

[xCecex1]

My ears are in mad, passionate love with them.

[MyNannerpus]

what kind of bass is that?

[Jonasfan5Doglover]

fucking beautiful area to film these open sessions.

seriously...find a young the giant song that sucks...i'll give you 3 million dollars. it's impossible.

[UnikCreations21]

when i go on vacation I just want them to follow me around while singing/playing all of their Open Session songs

[rmhytg]

Absolutely gorgeous. Everything about it. Perfection.

[kaskraker]

@LaNanurXxX This remark in combination with the song really moved me, i feel exactly the same. tnx

[DrParanoidAndroid]

This song makes me wanna start a band, go to exotic beaches and play guitar!

[BaBiiBo0L3xxi3]

his voice is so perfect!!! they definitly need more views on there open sessions

[MuNchHaRd]

this is at west street beach in laguna beach, CA!

[crimsonc1oud]

this song on repeat makes work more tolerable :)

[huskertrev931]

Did anyone else notice the laser pointer at 3:32

[xWACKAxFLACKAx]

@huskertrev931 I SEE IT!!! Pointed on his chin

[aforeverofsummer]

I wish you guys would make an open sessions EP. I'd definitely buy it.

[obeysteph]

i like that he looks like hes making love when he sings.. nice

[RedRiverSeed]

i love how they're always in a beautiful new part of the world

[thetumbleweedproject]

that voice break at 3:31 made me shiver

[YouKnowCoh]

The singer looks just the guy from New Girl!

[HelenaaaMS]

sammer's lips <3

[lyricsxo2]

Hey watch my lyric video for PARADISE BY COLPLAY! subscribe to my channel and make requests for lyric videos! Thanks!

[MusicalMoxir]

that "annoying" tap is supposed to be there.. it's keeping the syncopated beat. [:

[mickyh93]

kinda reminds me of a modern bon iver which is a VERY good thing

[MrFlamingRhinoceros]

Please, @YoungtheGiant, do the world a favor and don't stop making music.

[Robby2974]

@MrFlamingRhinoceros please do the world a favor, and admire the beauty of this band.

[SunnyJTcs]

I loveee all the open sessions! <3 beautiful song and video

[JayKayotiK]

Loved it until that annoying tapping came in! -__-

[smileyhappyface13]

This has got to be one of my favourite songs by them and I'm not trying to hate here, but does anyone feel like the lead singer is just a little ahead with his singing compared to the interments? It's kind of bugging me.

[WeAreAllMadHatters]

The random tapping around 1:40 ruined it. Why?!

[loisceleste]

gosh just perfect 

[BaBiiBo0L3xxi3]

@loisceleste took the words right out of my mouth

[LivinWithNineRegrets]

been in my head all day.

[downloadstuffgames]

Y U NO FAMOUS??

[wkhmoviez]

laguna beach: treasure island.

[EwelinaPrzygoda]

is it in san diego????

[jslampang64]

@LaNanurXxX WOW is this a great song or what??? It's start out clam just like the ocean and rocking in nice melody to the waves.

[MrDJFly94]

This album ruined me for other bands. Every time I think of listening to something else, I realize Id rather just listen to them.

[NiniiSCheerios]

me encanta young the giant ♥

[peterpanda35]

does anyone know where this was filmed 'cause i really could use a vacation there

[ThemCrazyKids]

@peterpanda35 i think its a place called tomales bay in norcal

[jshap97]

0:29 Francois' face....SHIT JUST GOT REAL.

[hotnov]

@jshap97 LOL all of their faces look like that in every single video... I wonder why though?

[Memolusco88]

Everything Young The Giant does, every song, their music makes me feel alive, enjoy the silence, peace, a trange satisfaction

I know it's so cheesy, but hey... this is just... powerful ;)

Keep doing the same thing guys, thanks.

[sircusjynx]

@Memolusco88 Couldn't agree more my friend. It's not cheesy of you to say that, simply being honest.

[werica2591]

Sameer, will you marry me? and sing to me for ever and ever?

[angelthegonzo]

I'm the type of dude that could care less about indie rock until i heard these guys...amazing!

[YoursTrulyJaeMilani]

they have the best scenery and atmospheres in these videos. im in love :)

[savetheshays]

I'm going to marry their drummer.

[methakur19]

I am obsessed..can't get enough of them and this song!

[AlexIsSmalll]

For every person that disliked this video, there is 200 that liked it. It's that good.

[aliceflowers]

I have fallen in love. HARD.

[ChrisspeeChipz]

GOSH I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[AdrianaSally]

[sircusjynx]

We need more people like this to walk the earth...already I feel it, many are awake, helping the others wake up...in every sphere of life.

[kbears331]

[DaizyDuckz]

@OceanPeace3 aha i was just thinkin that ;)

[ChrisspeeChipz]

this is so amazing <3

[xyran13]

I would buy FIVE open session albums and listen to them every flipping day.

[purpleclutchtv]

12 people are old, and are dwarfs.

[thecherry606]

my friends hate young the giant...

so i played one of their songs really loud with the speakers

i was like "haters gonna hate"

That showed them :D

[skateonheadreturns]

Don't get me wrong... I love the album. But these open session songs give me chills.

[LifeisJustsAMelody]

Oh, I know where they filmed this.. how weird. But this is a wonderful open session

[Turi139]

It's like the nature surrounding them gives them this special EQ in their instruments making them sound amazing. (:

[Cheri710]

This.Is.Music. ♥ I love this!

[midnightrebellion01]

Please sell this open session anywhere. I would buy it.

[aminamnizar]

really nice, but i prefer the cahb remix

[Jorge7689]

wooowww just incredible.



[irisdemir]

12 dislikes? Guys, are you okay? They're faultless!

[jasmimbarbosa]

that's what good music is like

[TheGrumpyskunks]

Awesome song by an awesome band. Great to see you guys doing what you love. Rock on!

[MsRojoRed]

Clearly they're at the beach, but i see snowflakes falling down. Like it's snowing in the coast, how is that possible?

btw: what a great song!!! 

[thecherry606]

if we can get a comment about them making an open session album to the top on every open session video it MIGHT make a difference! (just try it but if u don't wanna that OK :D)

[unicocamel]

F*cking awesome guys!! Thanks again!! If i could before i die attend one show, it would be 8 hours of you guys and Jesse Cook!! And a cameo by Paolo Nutini signing Candy! Only cuz that song is significant to my sweetheart and i! But seriously brilliant!! Ty!!

[WhereTFisDeja]

I cry when I listen to this.

[NuclearFaIIout]

12 people dont know real music.....

[imaidsfree]

@NuclearFaIIout XD lol your cool couldn't have found an interesting way of saying it? We've got those people everywhere

[TheLaxlaxlax]

[522hanny]

[123annavi]

[iriddell1]

[carocakesyo]

[shanewaz08]

[Jennisweet5]

i'm dying. this is so fabulous

[basaklacin1]

i could.. i could never hold you..

[CouldWeCareLess]

I nearly pissed my pants because I had to go real bad..

but everytime start this song I gotta hear it till the end

I cant believe how badly this song got to me - as if it shoots a musical rainbow straight into my soul

[bagelbites10]

loving the feel of the acoustic bass

[kmaire96]

Is Sameer Gadhia from India? I know he is Indian, but I was wondering if he was really from there.

[MyTacosRule]

@kmaire96 He's Persian. But he's from Irvine, California

[123annavi]

Ah, I hope you guys play this @ the Austin, TX concert in March. It will make my life forever wonderful.

[TamaTones]

@123annavi heck yeah. I'll be at the Sunday show since the Saturday show sold out almost instantly.

[robellis555]

anyone know where this was shot?

[DestromaticTime]

Just and HD Video, Handsome Boys and Money, that is music? I think is craap :c

[TomBomb565]

@DestromaticTime Why are you such a troll? This is music, and I would like to see you do better.

[DestromaticTime]

@TomBomb565 Man, Just try to listen to something Good, We have had Queen Aerosmith and the new generation like Muse or Radiohead, And if you want something like what These guys are triyig to do, Try The academy is... the all american rejects, Or even Little joy, But For my, This Group, Is doing it Wrong :C Im sorry.

[alicox]

quality

[BitterSweetVideos]

please make an acoustic album <3

[Jacksakic]

Just start to enjoy them

[rovietorres]

[Virginia78704]

Can't wait to see y'all (again) @ Stubbs in March. Austin, TX. Absolutly amazing.

[souldier94]

@Virginia78704 you're going too?! maybe i'll see you there :P

[sydney73as]

My friend just got me tickets to see them in concert, I told her I don't know who they are and I listened to couple of their songs.....I will literally worship her when I see her

[KIMBONICOLE87]

OPEN YOUR EYES:)

[diegosilerio]

those 11 assholes who disliked, don't know real music

[KillinEmSwiftly]

what kind of camera was this filmed with?

[amiraelbehiri]

The song builds up so effortlessly.. I'm obsessed

Open Session > Studio Album (this is great too though)

[amiraelbehiri]

Please sell an open session album on iTunes!!! I would buy it for myself and other people who appreciate raw acoustics :)

[TheJackie212]

@amiraelbehiri --I agree--these "In The Open" sessions are fantastic! First time I am hearing them-- :)

[wtfidtsandstfu]

the song, the lyric, the band, the music, the voice, the scenery, everything in this video just touches my heart. love it. 

[DynamicChurros]

didnt know aaron rodgers played drums for the best band ever.

[geraldgamble]

we need an open sessions cd.

[vitaminkm]

pure love.

[dreababbie]

THIS GROUP IS F***ING AMAZING...Y DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT THEM MONTHS AGO???...new favorite band

[stphngreen4]

ONE WORD : SERENITY.

[chickenwand]

damn. this is what real music is, pure & soul-full

[PrimoGraff]

no ads? no vevo? these guys are real musicians

[greenb0y]

@PrimoGraff i just hit the thumbs up button about a million times on your comment. absolutely brilliant, these guys.

[thephoenix134]

@PrimoGraff i completely agree

[kooksdoyle]

i would absolutely love to be the camera man and film all of these amazing songs

[aiballz]

the crashing waves make this even more amazing, like your on a dreamy island, friggin sexyyyy

[rockrgrl637]

This is awesome. I love this band so much. <3

[lifesabeach0011]

I never want this song to end. <3

[lifesabeach0011]

Wow. Just wow.

[huggybobo88]

ive been listening to them for 3 years. i guess its cool that an underground band you listen to is becomeing real famous

[thomass505]

YTG is what light is to dark. Best get on that.

[claudiaroseable]

auto tune isn't even in their vocabulary, incredible.

[flaweddesign97]

the first time i listen this song I was like this is totaly shit but when i hear the voice i was like OMFG

[Dude651984]

I find it amazing that this song has less than a million views. My prediction is that in six months from now, this band will gain even more popularity. The lyrics are life giving. "All the years I've missed your warmth, have you missed my warmth? On your lslands" Seriously now.

[sketchyou]

love ❤

[yuneska]

Beautiful!!!!

[BillieTH93]

Can`t get over how beautfully shot these "Open Session" videos are. ...And the songs fits them perfect.

[Dude651984]

Every week there comes a time that I must go back and obsess over this song. I could be recommending it to someone I know and I get lost in the lyrics. The funniest thing is that this song is not rewarding as it's memory. I'll repeat. This song is not as rewarding as it's memory, yet it's just brilliant.

[nighthawk1423]

@Dude651984 I completely understand what you mean. Don't enjoy the song as much while it's actually playing as I do the memory of it. I just think to myself, "Damn, that was amazing..."

[Dude651984]

@nighthawk1423 : The album (Studio) version is actually pretty good too. Yes, it's not the most singable song, very atmospheric. God Made Man and Apartment are my other favourites.

[flipmannnn]

does any1 know the chords for the chorus??

[adamantiumbullet]

god damn! normally when you listen to songs on your ipod by the same artist over and over, you get a little sick of them but for some damn reason, that doesn't happen with these guys!

[ukeuniverse]

chords?
