Young The Giant - Cough Syrup lyrics

[daisymaesquirrel]

like if Glee brought you here!

[TheUnknownRepublic]

i now love this song. thank you my friend sar for showing me this!

[568loulou]

this song means so much to me especial after watching glee just because of what the song is about and then i noticed they day which this was uploaded and it was one of the worst days of my life probably because it was my birthday and i realized that as much as people tried to understand even those closest to you don't.

I'm saying all this because who cares whose done covers who cares if the covers are shit not everyone is going to like every cover of a song just don't listen to the cover!

[Complex42zero]

Funny.. I would love to be kn cough syrup

[autumnandjenny]

a bunch of immature bitches. >_> stop fighting and enjoy the music..

[AshleyTisdaleFan2145]

*Insert another reason why we should be happy this song was on glee*

[izzyv914]

i love glee and when i see make bad comments it makes me sad because they sing songs very well and work hard to sing the song right so for all u haters make sure u know what u say before u say it

[caitlynlovesmusic12]

Young the Giant brought me here.

[gleefan1025]

i don't understand why people are pissed off that glee covered this anyway when the band gave them the rights to this song lol so if you are going to be pissed off at anyone why not Young the Giant?..

[gleefan1025]

@CodiTheJedi haha so you don't warch tv at all because 90% of tv shows are about fake people? lol glee isn't the only show with fictional characters.

[CodiTheJedi]

@gleefan1025 Yes that is true. When I do watch "tv" I prefer documentaries or case studies. I have better things to use my mind toward like i dont know, learning things rather than feeding useless information into my brain. As i said before it is my opinion. You can watch glee and all these other shows all you want and it doesn't bother me.

[CodiTheJedi]

Even the name of the show is Gay. I mean Glee? I'd rather waste my time playing games, working out, and sports than tracking a show about fake peoples lives. LOL. Just my opinion.

[CoOl9011]

@CodiTheJedi wow :s

[CodiTheJedi]

@CoOl9011 what?

[CoOl9011]

@CodiTheJedi Most of tv shows, movies and books are about fake people. Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Ken Follett...They dont or didnt write books about real people. Steven Spielberg doesn't direct films about real people. Why wouldn't you read or watch some of those books/films?

By the way If you have "better things to use your mind toward", please, stop writing useless comments about a fake show you haven't watched.

[CodiTheJedi]

@CoOl9011 Again, I didn't say anyone had to change their views. I don't agree with majorital vote on anything either so the more people who agree with you or me really gives no validicy. Now, I don't enjoy WATCHING fiction because it's lazy. I enjoy real visuals. I also enjoy constructive arguments which is why i continue to post here. again stop trying to control my actions please. It's quite immature. I never said i didnt read fiction, reading lets you imagine and think about what you read in.

[CodiTheJedi]

@CodiTheJedi your own perception. So you gain comprehension etc. That is different than watching a movie in my opinon. You dont have to agree but please logically defend your points of why these time wasting shows are productive since thats the side you're aggressively defending and taking to a personal level. Awaiting your response.

[CoOl9011]

@CodiTheJedi I just don't understand why do you criticize what you haven't watched. And even if you have, why do you say it's a "Gay" show?

Anyway I can't explain myself in english, I need more words so I'm gonna stop posting here.

Great song and thanks Glee for bringing me here(:

[CodiTheJedi]

@CoOl9011 I criticize it because I do not like it and I think it is a waste of time and energy to people watching it. I said it was gay to spike a response from a Glee fan as its a dumbed down word that brings a lot of attention and controversy. Have a nice weekend.

[CoOl9011]

@CodiTheJedi people who watch glee are not wasting their time because they are doing what they like. If you don't like it, it's fine but it deserves some respect. In my case it is not a waste of time because I am improving my english thanks to glee. And I love it! There's no need to criticize every single thing that you don't like. That is a waste of energy.

By the way, the show makes us discover some great songs, like cough syrup(: It's not that useless.

I had to answer. Have a nice weekend!

[CodiTheJedi]

@CoOl9011 Also stephen spielberg does direct films about real people. Schindlers list ring a bell? Don't combat your argument with false statements. He also didn't accept any money from that movie either. He is a great man.

[RoseMckenzieKimball1]

@CodiTheJedi Yep, it's gay. HOMOSEXUAL~

[donkey1307]

yeah ive never even heard this band until they sang it on glee. so be happy its getting around.

[KellySchneller]

@RoseMckenzieKimball1 for thinking that show is gay you must watch it alot to no who all those people are

[RoseMckenzieKimball1]

@KellySchneller I watch the show. Yes, all the time. I just watched the first season again, so. I called it gay, because it is, I didn't thought it was offensive at all.

[MightyShannie]

Both versions are excellent. Glee is a wonderful, insightful show, and Young the Giant is a great band.

Think otherwise? That's cool. Go watch/listen to something else, eh? There's an idea.

[hellonyancat666]

losing*

[anacallann]

Actually obsessed with this song..

[juliebjones98]

I know people complain about Glee and stuff, but both versions sound alike, which is nice. Glee is literally my life, but I don't like when they change a song a lot, but this was done very nicely. I love this song.

[steesbassoon]

this guys voice sounds SO similar to Darren's!

[actorgirl217]

@steesbassoon Though I love him with all my heart, it would probably be more acceptable to say that Darren's voice sounds like this guys. I'm just saying...

[kingofhiei]

@steesbassoon Nooooooooooooo Darren's voice sounds SO similar to this guy!

[10lurveable]

Can we please stop talking about glee and just enjoy this amazing song? thanks.

[megamegan68]

Hey guys , im an aspiring singer ! Im 14 and my name is Megan !

[MrShazloveyouonly]

glee brought me here :D

[psychosisXisXfun]

If anyone except for Darren Criss had sung this on Glee, I would have hated it.

[XXxChicaChuxXX]

I personally love both versions of this song, I think that Darren Criss did a fantastic job with it and I'm glad YTG is becoming successful.

[Daisykaity]

<3 LOVEEE!!

[lmcnickle]

No one cares about glee just saying I could care less about what other people think

[dancer3101998]

Love it, especially the glee version

[Narwhal329Love]

I love how both top comments aren't about Young The Giant, but about Glee. Made my day!

[TheTokyoToys]

Glee version was so good! This is cool too though :)

[ThatAsowomeChick]

I love how nobody realises this song is just saying fuck it all get high. And yes you can get high off cough syrup.

[coolio2719]

this is an amazing song!

[decadence9nin9]

oh, young the giant, thank you for being cool enough to not care about what the elitists and haters would say....

you're still the coolest band, your open-mindedness just makes you a bit cooler...

[BrittanysFondue]

Glee's version is better.. just saying

[hollaythevampgurl123]

@BrittanysFondue They both sound almost exactly the same...

[MittelerdeLotR]

Great song! The Glee version is good too! Aber leider gibts im deutschen iTunes Store ja nur die hier...

[xxBAILEY95xx]

Both versions are absolutely fantastic. Glee's has an amazing message. If you all were to watch that part of the episode,you'd understand. A jock being depressed and bulled attempted suicide. This song was being played in the background. Why does it matter if it was on Glee? Both artists have incredible talent. Glee gives them more publicity. I didn't know this band at all before listening to this on Glee. I was curious because the song was so good and checked out the band. So calm down, kids.

[hollaythevampgurl123]

@xxBAILEY95xx Thank you, this song brought me to this band.

[FullMetalDonkey]

Lol I have a cough syrup addi tion.. 3 bottles a day this song makes me want to do it more.

[Cal093]

@FullMetalDonkey ....Goddamned Niggers and that bullshit fucking 'purple drank' stupidity. You DESERVED Tuskegee, and it shoulda been YOU instead of the jews that gawt gassed & melted.

[key2destiny13]

Why are we complaining that it's on Glee? Have you seen the way this song is utilized on Glee? Have you seen the message it's meant to send teenagers struggling with depression and thoughts of suicide? Who cares about your opinion on the show, do you realize how many children out there the Glee cover of this song has saved alone (not to mention the real song too?). Stop bickering over trivial things and look at the big picture: this song moves mountains no matter whose voice is behind it.

[stoneyoats13]

@key2destiny13 well said well said indeed

[JenHOOKAH]

so, can anyone tell me, what is it with the cough syrup? i mean i kinda get the message this songs putting out there and i love it :) but why cough syrup? (seriously).............1 more thing, i just recently started listening to music from now! im all about the classic rock, oldies, and bluegrass, but i loooovvvveee this song and some older ppl around me cant stand this stuff . Judge me because i like certain different sounds?! different generations i guess. generation x or y wheres z? hahaha!

[CaseySmith0]

@JenHOOKAH Cough syrup because it puts you to sleep and works fast. I do acaully believe hes talking about commiting suicide. I am not sure though. I love this song. But alot of people do use cough syrup to commit suicide because they just go to sleep and never wake up...its sad I know, but very true.

[xhurricane816x]

Is this the Demo version?

[YourmumMymumTheirmum]

Yes, let's complain about it being on Glee when some people who like Glee are actually sane and have some decent taste in music outside if Glee. Plus the fact that it's good publicity for this band. I don't care if you're afraid it will take away from your hipster cred. If you like a band you should be happy for their success.

[ThePaulakiddo]

@YourmumMymumTheirmum Amen sista' or..well brotha'.

[cristinadonahue]

@YourmumMymumTheirmum THANK YOU!!!! Ya know most people forget they need the bands consent before they use the song!

[LittleMsMadness]

@YourmumMymumTheirmum Not to mention some of the people on Glee actually sing well and do the song some justice...I am not a fan of Glee but if they sing songs from my favorite band then awesome! They're getting exposure so other people can enjoy their music.

Cheers man

[XxXdragurlifeXxX]

@YourmumMymumTheirmum That's kinda true. But you know like what's happening with the song "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye, the first time I listened to that song it was like about 6 months ago & nobody knew about it & now everyone does & they're overplaying it. Sadly, they ruined the song for me. And that's what I think most people are afraid of sometimes, that when people know a song, and they overplay it and ruin it for you, not because you call yourself a hipster or anything like it.

[RoseMckenzieKimball1]

@XxXdragurlifeXxX Selfish.

[CodiTheJedi]

@YourmumMymumTheirmum glee is gay.

[lovelove395]

@CodiTheJedi rude.

[RoseMckenzieKimball1]

@CodiTheJedi Yes it is. It's the gayest show. And this song was featured in the gayest episode too, there was Blaine, Kurt, Brittany, Santana, Dave, Sebastian, Hiram and Leroy, all of them homosexual yay.

[mrteen19]

@RoseMckenzieKimball1

fuck urself bastard

[RoseMckenzieKimball1]

@mrteen19 Um, nope, not into masturbation, sorry. Maybe you should try.

[beavisandslutheadd]

@RoseMckenzieKimball1 You obviously watch the show often enough to know all their names.

[RoseMckenzieKimball1]

@beavisandslutheadd Duh. Since 2010. But calling Glee gay it's not offensive at all, because it is, there's like eight homosexual characters.

[beavisandslutheadd]

@RoseMckenzieKimball1 You used the word gay in an offensive way, therefore making it offensive. You don't know what you're talking about.

[RoseMckenzieKimball1]

@beavisandslutheadd Nope. Didn't know there was an offensive way for gay. Whatever. Someone was calling the show gay, and yes, is gay indeed. I don't have problems with that, I watch it because I love me lots of gays. Whatever.

[LizzyBmusic]

@RoseMckenzieKimball1 ok so..it would be normal for me to say. OMG that guy's SO straight! like, duh! or.. Dude, you're such a hetero. just wondering?

[RoseMckenzieKimball1]

@LizzyBmusic Yep, I mean, even gay people themselves sometimes are like 'That is so gaaaay' or 'So heterosexual'. It's not offensive.

[CoOl9011]

@RoseMckenzieKimball1 you forgot david (karofsky).

[RoseMckenzieKimball1]

@CoOl9011 Dave/David.

[fakexsunset]

@RoseMckenzieKimball1 Homophobic much, you insensitive ass hat.

[RoseMckenzieKimball1]

@fakexsunset What the actual fuck? When was I being insensitive? Calling the show gay? For fuck's sake, there's lot of gay people in there, didn't thought calling something gay was offensive.

[Beatlestourbus]

where did you get this version? I like this better than the one on the album

[kerydallas]

Don't get me wrong this music is amazing and the artist is great, but also Darren from the glee did wow job in this music. i come to listen here because i first listen when darren did.

[Seraephus]

Glee? Really? This song is too awesome for a high school drama/comedy/notreallysure starring 27-year-old actors.

[LizzyBmusic]

@Seraephus Glee got me here. And for those of you who do not know, Glee helped me get through a lot of difficult things. I like Glee's version of the song, I like this one. the only reason you are complaining, is because you thought you were so cool being one of the "elite group" that listened this before glee. well boohoo, get a life.

[Seraephus]

@LizzyBmusic I could care less about glee. I could care less about your misguided views on elitism. I'm complaining because it's the internet and I'm allowed to point a giant middle finger at whomever I want.

Hooray for getting you through hard times.

Boo for making you annoying.

Also, don't talk as though a vast majority of comment readers even care about you, or your opinions. It's the internet; no one cares what anyone thinks.

[LizzyBmusic]

@Seraephus then why is it you point your middlefinger? no one cares? And if no one cares, why do you react? mmm? Not so smart now, are ya?

[Seraephus]

@LizzyBmusic I, dear lady, am a troll. I feed off of the bile and insults dullards like you try to heap on me. I thrive on being that annoying voice who replies to every ill-formed comment. Without reacting, I don't get to enjoy crapping all over people's opinions and hobbies. So I am still quite smart. Smart-ass, of course, but you didn't specify.

So to recap

*I'm an ass

*I know it

*I like it that way

*I'm still smart

Ah, ego! Enjoy this massage!

[RoseMckenzieKimball1]

@Seraephus Lobster.

[katielouiseUK]

@LizzyBmusic bout time someone spoke the TRUTH!!

[Music4Life710]

this song is on Glee this week!!! :) gonna be awesomezz

[nickhawkman]

@Music4Life710 that's gay. fuck glee

[BelarusXGrellXBassy]

@nickhawkman It gives more publicity to this guy thanks to glee (I apoligize for crappy spelling) so I wouldn'y be too mad about it i like glee but I also like this band/singer so please stop the hate :)

[animechick2281]

Lifes to short to even care at all....Its true!!!

[gabylucia12]

this is totally my anthem right now!! Life is too short to really care what people think or say, just go out and live life to the fullest!!

[BrigetteOwens]

So I retract my previous statement.

This is Klaine . . .

But if you ask me this is sounding like a break-up song! D:

[BrittanyBolin12]

@BrigetteOwens I googled what the song is about and this is what someone said:

"Actually, the band already explained what the song is about. It's about the struggle of wanting to break out of the norm of their town and make it into the big time.'Life's to short to even care at all' could possibly be talking about how we have so little time on earth why not take risks?"

^^ So hopefully that's what it is about. :)

[gbrumm1]

there is a full preformance of "glad you came" SUNG BY THE WARBLERS up on the interweb right now.... THIS MEANS THAT THIS IS THE KLAINE SONG.....:) SDKJTNAHADKFJAKDSFBJDSAFJSDNFJ­DSANFKJSAF STOP. JUST STOP. THIS WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME. MY GRAVE STONE IS GOING TO SAY: BECAUSE OF KLAINE.

[SlightlyUnusual8]

@BrigetteOwens Nope, it's Klaine...

[SlightlyUnusual8]

@BrigetteOwens Nope, it's Klaine.

[XxAddicted2BieberxX]

@BrigetteOwens no, Glad You Came is the warblers. This has to be Klaine!

[sparkee501]

you spelled losing with two "o"s, just saying. but overall it is a good video

[ShootTheZombies]

@sparkee501 read the description...

[BlameItOnTheBoogie93]

I think Dave's going to sing this song on Glee because he attempts suicide, but Kurt (BECAUSR THEY'RE FRIENDS) stops him

[1chriscolferfangleek]

@BlameItOnTheBoogie93 on the glee wiki it says that blaine sings it...

[BlameItOnTheBoogie93]

@1chriscolferfangleek Yeah, I know that now. But i didn't know that when I posted my comment

[alltimelowfanxx]
