The Naked and Famous - Young Blood.

 

You remember when you were a youngun or a teen? Sneaking out, partying hard then sneaking back in the early hours, thinking you getting away with it, when really you're parents knew but never said a thing and then gave you way more chores than usual the following week. That's what happened to me anyway.

This song will connect with ALOT of people, as it really captures the feeling of nostalgia for teen years, the film clip depicting 20-somethings running wild and doing things that we all did when we were teenagers: throwing bottles at old beat up cars, jumping off the biggest things we could find 0 having a general lack for regard for our bodies, just feeling invincible.  

"We lie beneath the stars at night/Our hands gripping each other tight/You keep my secrets hope to die/Promises, swear them to the sky"

This Kiwi 3-piece have kind of the same feel as a few tracks on MGMT's first (and far superior) first album. It just reminds me of all the stuff that I thought was so serious and important back then. Girls, crushes, friendship & falling outs, all the stuff that you look back at in ten years time and laugh at, but at the same time you still kinda miss that feeling.
Anyway, enough sentimental crap, this song is rad. Listen to it late in the night, beer/joint in hand.
Reminisce.

 PS.
