*Listen to 'Peacock Affect - I Wrote This In The Dark'*
I will check out their 2035 single 'I forgot how I wasted my young years', and wait for their 2058 single 'I ... err, what am I doing here again?!'. No, seriously, everybody says there is no good music made in 2000s, they prove them being wrong.

*Listen to 'Peacock Affect - I Wrote This In The Dark'*
Been working a 40 hour per week desk job and been listening to this song since it came out in 2013. I was 25 and feeling that I was indeed wasting my young years but thought that it would all be worth it in the future. Didn't happen. Now that I'm close to 31 I look back and all I see is time either spent studying, working student jobs or just working. I wish I had done a lot of things differently , I wish I would have travelled more, met more new people, spent less time behind a desk or a computer thinking "I still have time to live my life, I just have to finish this paper, this episode, this 100000000th whatsapp message, this final exam". Before you know it time is up and you realise you've spent your entire 20s hoping for a perfect future instead of enjoying the great present. I hope at least one person reads this and decides to go out more, do a little bit more of what they really like and enjoy their young years while they still have the opportunity to.
@sandro periquito Exactly.
@katarina G. Your comment really hits me hard. I'm currently 27 and I honestly can already relate with what you said. I'm not saying I'm completely unsatisfied with what I've done but I just feel I could be doing more. I'm feeling like my twenties are flying so so fast and every year I say that I'll travel more, workout more, meet new people more often but it's not the case honestly. But at least it's good to be aware of this and have the correct mindset to live the present fully and prepare for the future also
You are still young! 31 is VERY young! Your life is a journey and you have plenty of time for adventures and good times! When I was in my 20s, I worked manual labor jobs (as one of the few women) and dreamed of having a 40 hour a week office job! I went back to college and met my wonderful husband, who is the love of my life! I work in a career I love (it's an office job, but that's my jam) and I'm in my 40s. I also travel a lot more now and it's easier because I'm older and have better finances! I don't regret the jobs I had in my 20s, because those jobs made me who I am and made me appreciate my life. I love my life and I feel young! You can certainly still travel and meet friends! Don't waste your time in despair-go out and do something to make your life better! I have a family member who just survived stage 3 cancer and she is out living her life. You can too! Life is too precious to focus on regrets! Best wishes to you on a beautiful life!
Work hard,train harder,eat well ,fuck harder
as.someone who has/had all the time to travel and money to not work and just party, meet mysterious strangers ( who startout fascinating but end up being fucking annoying morons )I am your age and all i want is a family to settle down with. my boyfriend just left me because i cannot get pregnant :( but, I guess one has to figure things out on their own, experience it.one thing I have learned is that you can make current life a bit less dull, as you said, travel a little more, do more stuff you like. meet people in your area, at work. your current,"boring" friends ( unless you have none) will be there when you feel like your world is about to collapse and you Will learn to appreciate them. yes, it is nice to meet new people but you can do that in your own city, at work, at supermarket,at meetups. .. because " there are hidden treasures in your every day life". rambling now...

22 May. In the next 2 months I will turn my 25y. I'm sitting now on the table with my tears and learning my dreamy language "deutsch" with a bloody disappointment but what can i do this is the only chance for now. Still not have a job that's crazy isn't it. Every year hoping next birthday will be the one and can get a job and help my loved one. I've just read a sentence said "life is a trip not a destination". I want to believe in this sentence but I just can't theres too many reasons. Anyway no one will read this idk why I'm writing this but I just want to.
I'm turning 44 years old this year and I feel these feels every single day. What an incredible track. Thanks London Grammar.
Felt this my entire life.
Don't worry some day we will be gone
@@tamagrind Both youth and elderly, a reach which i did and named it: BIBLE + FREEMASONRY. Get to know who they are - where they are - how and why they deceive - how they communicate, then expose them. There is NO EVOLUTION, every living creature got created by GOD after its own kind. No mattering what and how many schools/university you attend to, feather you`d be in or out of schools system, you are still living with the lack of knowledge if not daring to read the BIBLE nor search and expose masons, you will remain under their spells. Dare to ask - dare to seek - dare to knock: Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
55 years old now, all I want is retirement... To say life flies by is a complete understatement. Yesterday I was 25 ... As a wise person once said 'Live your Dreams - Don't dream your life' Get out there and Go for it!!!
After 45 yo the track definetely becomes "Wasted my young years" by London Gramophone
I love the sound and the sentiment; I still wonder. But, here I am at 62 years old (how the fuck did that happen?) and everything good and bad that has happened to me has made me who I am. I didn't travel until my 40's (with my kids) I didn't follow my dream of building and designing my home until my 50's, and I didn't get the job I deserved until I was 60. Don't ever limit yourself because of your age - build on every experience, keep learning and don't believe that the only good years are the early ones - there are lots more to come!
no one cares

Most ppl can barely afford rent
Dude, I loved your comments. So true. I turn 62 this year. I’m married, my son turns 40 soon. Life is good. But, gotta tell you and I know that this is the height of selfishnesses, there is a big difference between good and fulfilled. I know, it’s bad but, what can I tell ya? Happy for you, man!🙏🏻👏 I commented something else today on this video.
43 yo here , I have a message for all the youngsters : you don t waste your time , you learn , through pain for the most of you . Do not give up , one day you ll understand . Try to be the best of yourself , ask for help if needed , it is worth it . Don T be afraid to move on and come back if needed . You ll never start over from zero . Take care kids . Life is a trip , not a destination .
Amen and wish you nothing but the best ;-)
savoir0vivre Thank you . I ll be fine . my life is pretty much set . think ahead . count wise , count twice . Don t forget to be young , never forget to grow old .
Thank you🥺
Thank you, it's so true...
muito obrigada por isso! from Brazil
At 46 just been given the devastating news that I have cancer and have 18 months maybe 2 years. Love London Grammer and this track seems so poignant at the moment , luckily when I look back over my life I feel that I’ve wasted very little of my young years . My advice to anybody young would be put down your phones. Instead, see, love and laugh together with your friends and family’s. Be good to each other , cut out negative thoughts , don’t judge people you don’t know and don’t be judged by people that don’t know you. Life can short but a life lived well is never wasted, I might not be here for much longer but I hope the memories of the fun and adventures I’ve shared will go on for a long time. On the positive I’ve booked to see Hannah and the guys in Manchester in November (🤞illness and COVID willing) can’t bloody wait.
God bless you and help you
I hope that universe will give you much more than two years but if not I hope you’ll go through them like a champion and do what you like, make new friends and don’t waste your time on negative things and people. Here I am 18 year old writing you this and if you need friends I’ll be glad to be by your side
all my love to you...
Love and peace to you...LIFE IS WAY SHORT!!
lots of love to you
I refuse to accept this album is already 10 years. Listening to this song especially takes me back to 2013. I miss those times ! 😢
I feel this. It feels nostalgic and brings a smile to my face, but I miss those times so much :(
This is why you make the best of it now, 2023 will soon be in the same past
The year the world became mad again.
I'm 59 and i like this song ^^
Im 61. Yet often, very often, I feel young. Or maybe I’m just yearning for those days of yore. I feel great but I have not come to accept that I’m 61. It feels unbelievable that I am 61. Time goes so fast. So fast! My humble advice is enjoy youth, it’s such a small percentage of a full life. There’s just so much time to be an adult! It’s most of your life! Enjoy youth, don’t do something that you will regret the rest of your life. I know, I know: fun and wisdom are often at odds. But trust me, have fun but within reason. I have really enjoyed all your comments. I’m learning from them and hope that one day, willingly, I accept old age. Part of it is that I feel great (thank God) and I’m fit, have all my hair still 😂. But man, when I saw High: Confessions, when this song came on I had to stop and get the full version. It mesmerized me and all the comments from young people here, their worries and regrets, it’s like butterflies in my stomach. Enjoy life! But within reason so that you CAN grow older, peacefully, simply, with less stress and angst. Thank all of you!🙏🏻
Mate, I ve just turned 66 ( I can hardly bring myself to even admit that) but feel what, somewhere betwwen 25 and 39....so to anyone reading this, yougor old, just go out there and do what you want to do, don't 'dress your age' if you dont want to, don't become a young fogey, this is not a dress rehearsal, just go for it! ( 12 x in one day - beat that!)

@@davidmoore8857 So you agree with you, mate. It’s been over a year since I wrote my comment. In 2 months I turn 63. Have I learned to accept my age, yet (as was my pint in my first comment)? No. Work in progress. The irony, at least in part, is that my health continues to be really good (sans my glaucoma). And that provides me with enough false bravado to think “Im not 63”. Such bullshit. Anyways, I read you brother. 👊
@BadCompany214 - thanks for your reply [brother] - the word ‘retirement’ is not in my vocabulary. We all need a sense of output, a reason to get up in the morning, so I will just keep on going until I can’t, after all we can’t let all that accumulated wisdom go to waste, can we? Keep on trucking brother!
😊
Hard to listen when you actually ARE wasting your precious young years :(
Relatable 🖤

Lawrence Oliver McBeth Don’t give up. It’s a lot worse once they have already been wasted.
sure you did?
I think the feeling of wasting your time is permanent in a society that compares everything. Social Media has had huge pressure on all of us and make us think everybody has a better life than us. Sit down, write all the things you are proud and thankful for and look back at your life with love. If not, then write the things you want to do/accomplish and start changing your routines. It's worth it.
you are Correct.

i listen to this and cry because i don’t know if i’m doing right in this life so far Edit: guys thank you so much for the support. Didn’t believe this comment would get so popular
It's the perfect time to change for the better anyway, it might save your sole too.
I completely understand you
Hey there. I know we don't know one another from any part of life. I'm from Namibia... So... Hi😊 I totally understand what you're feeling and what an awful and confusing emotion to have but there's one thing that keeps me sane... And it's that I keep telling myself whatever happens or whatever I'm currently going through is only temporary. What is a problem today isn't gonna be a problem sometime... And we're young... We're so young that it'd okay to feel these things because that's what being young is about... To hurt and to learn and to grow from it... So... Just stay strong and know that In a period of time... You'll be exactly where you need to be and by then... You'll probably have figured it all out. I hope what I said was helpful and that it made you feel better... Stay safe and be strong

Totally agree. Love her 💓
I'm 42, when found this song was living with a beautiful but "damaged" relationship with a gorgeous woman whom I deeply loved. But the foundation was not right, it hurt me, didn't wanted to leave her. Hearing this song over and over again made me frustrated the life I was living. I was not really happy, Had a steady job, working for a bank Corporate Global Exposure with growth potential but felt stucked. Decided to change, broke up with her, negotiated my exit in 2015. Started a business consulting firm from zero, it's more difficult to have steady income, but I feel peace. Thank you for this song

Isn't it sad that I'm 22 yo and I totally feel like "I'm wasting my young years"? Such a strong and sad lyrics...
Dunkel Eonim when i was 22 i started feeling the same way! why though? we are still so young!
Dunkel Eon not sure what "wasting my young years" even mean. What are you supposed to do? To Fuck and drink non stop till you're 40? Then it would be considered as "non-wasted"?
Dunkel Eon well i'm just a bit older than you, and sincerely i asked me this question several time when i was younger. Then i just found something where i could do something. For me it has been traveling, and now i never stop. Just to meet great people and i assure you, you cannot say that you are "wasting your young years".
Dunkel Eon me too bro ;(
Dunkel Eon LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE BUSY MAKING PLANS.. there is no "do over" so make the best of it while young! :-)
I don't find this song depressing.....I just find it comforting honestly. It reminds you how alive you really should be feeling, old or young. How good it feels to be young, to have your first heartbreak, your first love, and your first understanding of how the world really works. I like it.
You're a good person

I lost my only baby back in 2014, everything about this track hit me and hurt me. A mother without a child, do everything you can while you can. Life is short, our time to be a mother is so short.
😢
My deepest condolences! I lost mine 2016, he was only 46! Life is worth fighting for! I found a new wonderful partner and remarried. I hope you too find happiness again
And how I agree with you, … as a mortician I see daily nothing but loss , and hurt to depths one can only imagine . And I thought I knew all the pain possible , thought I understood what I meant to not have those in my life that should be there…and yes I will say I’ve witnessed the passing of those which ( I felt ) deserved their exit from this world to the next…and after being witness to every possible human story and tragedy I thought I’d seen and heard them all…until we lost our 7 year old grand daughter , …oh did I think I knew grief , oh how many times did I think I had a pact with the devil. To watch my wife crumble and not be able to aid , comfort, support or rectify…to be become helpless when met with a pleading gaze to put back into place , to make better , to put back all that was wrong with a lifeless wee soul that was blessed to have never known any evil in her short but loved seven years …oh yes I thought I knew how loss felt …. I stand corrected , I once witnessed a colleague be informed that “ you don’t know how I feel !” And how correct , for no one will ever truly know how you feel. This song took me straight there . Let’s not waste any more years …look forwards , …not back , we are not going that way ….
My child took a fork at the age of 6 and started engraving the legs of my antique 1820 Regency Dining Room table. They were scratched and scraped. I went ballistic when my Uncle turned to me and said, if you had to make a choice between the table and your sons health what would it be. My Uncle had a Heart condition and was given two years to live, he knew the value of time and life!

I’ve known this song for 2 years and it’s always been stuck in my head from the show “Baby” which is truly amazing, but for some reason knowing that this is such a great song, I never took the time of day to search for it.

As someone who is 25 and sits in a chair at a desk 5 days a week when people my age are traveling and living life, this song hits too close to home. Is this the top? Is this where I am supposed to be in my life? Yes the money is good, but money doesnt buy happiness. Especially if i have a ball and chain that is this full time job.
Mate I'm 24 and totally get your comment. I work full time. I'm thinking next year shall I travel only live once !
+Drew Kleinbach I was in your situation once. A salary slave but each day "I died a little more inside" I left and went back to Uni and it was the best thing I ever did. made more meaningful friends rather than the people I had worked with (who frankly I did not like). I changed my life course. best decision I ever made. I was single and was easy to do it. I know not so easy if you have dependents etc. But even then I think you need to change things if you are drowning inside.
+Drew Kleinbach I was also in a situation like yours. At about your age I decided to work for early retirement. I invested about one third of my salary in the stock market every single month. The years went by and my early retirement fund grew. At aged 39 I started to notice that on a good day my stocks would grow in value more than my salary for that month. That is when I decided to quit my job and see if I could survive without employment. So far so good after one year. I'm happier because I'm free to do what I want. However it's funny that now I have freedom I still feel that I'm not living life to the full. I suppose we never really get satisfaction in life but having freedom is the most important thing.
+keypointist you were lucky in the sense that the SM must have been on the rise when you initially invested. It could have wiped your money out too. if it had been the opposite. I agree about the freedom thing but for those in the West money is a huge pull. Your post proves that. I know a couple who went to Scotland to be crofters. They are very happy but have very little money. But just enough for their purposes. in that location. Living in a staggeringly beautiful area and working with animals.
+Keith Bate I should add that I rent a bedsit and have a very modest lifestyle. I only managed to save so much money because I denied myself luxuries. Most middle class people would be embarrassed to have so little stuff. To me freedom is worth more than having stuff. Still, I'm not a hypocrite when it comes to consumerism. I rely on those middle class people to keep buying stuff to make the corporate profits that pay my dividends. The thing some people underestimate about investing in stocks is the dividend which you get regardless of what the stock price is doing. I admit that it does bother me when we have a long run of bad days in the market but I maintain a buffer of cash to keep me going through that. In theory I could get completely wiped out (it's unlikely) but then I'd just have to go back and work like I did before! I prefer the busy city life but good luck to your crofter friends. Each to their own.
i heard this song 13 years ago the first time.i lost my my wife, my life, my money and my future. But: Here i am again!
❤❤
I've been a carer for two family members since I was 18, tried to go university but had to put my dreams on hold to pay the bills and work. I'm now 33 and still looking after them, and also my mum who is now old. all I've seen is suffering and anger, today I'm sleeping on the floor I lost my job and my health went with it. when I can't cope I listen to music, I like london grammar & kings of Leon. it's like medicine for my soul. maybe one day things will get better, till then I'll keep my headphones plugged in to drown out the pain
I feel for you. I was in a similar family situation. Sometimes local authorities take advantage of family carers. You deserve a life of your own. Frankly if you threaten to walk away the local authorities will probably spring into action to help your family. They did for me anyway.
How's everything now? Better?

I was 13 when I first heard this song. At that time, I had many dreams. I wanted to study English literature, live in England and write for a good local newspaper. Along the way, I didn't get admitted to my dream university, ended up at a second choice in Portugal, with a scholarship that didn't cover all the costs and so I had to drop out. I ended up going back to my hometown, then moved to São Paulo, a little bitter but still with dreams and hopes. And now here I am, almost 10 years later, aged 22, working in the biggest city in Latin America, 40 hours a week, 8 hours a day, in an office, doing spreadsheets. I feel like I'm wasting my young years. I wanted to work with cinema, with translation, with literature, and I still have hopes, but I admit, I'm tired. Half of my salary goes to rent, another part to taxes and what's left over is what keeps me going for the month. I am working to be a slave to my salary.
Hi you, that really sounds like a slow exhausting hit by reality, I'm sorry for that. I's wonderful, that you tried it - for me, that's always the most important part. What about now, do you have new dreams or alterations of your old plans you could try to follow? I think you already proved that you are able and strong enough.
I can feel it so good, that feeling. I am 28, living in a country in war (Ukraine), I studied hard 6 year to be a lawyer, now I lost job, situation with job on the market is poor, I do not want leave my country but I feel i need too, I am wasting my young years due to fu*****ng russians

Like 10 years ago, ı was at middle school and preparing for graduation exam, itunes gave us this song for free. Every day ı was drawing and preparing art school to 03.00 am and waking up at 05.00 am, in school til 13.00, after school studying at library till 17.00 and after that day ı was listening this song while walking to home at the age of 12. ıt was the hardest time ever of my life. And today ı noticed this song rised ın covid time. And remembering my old memories with my big smile and success
Such a powerful song that I sing loudly along with every time I hear it. And most of us are, definitely wasting our young years.
Hey jewelz theres a reason this song has 81 million views. I sing along too. This is an amazing song from a girl with an unbelievablly beautiful voice

You are 23. Start living. Its the right time now for u
To all the young folk listening to this brilliant track; put down your phones, quit your stultifying jobs and live. There is nothing to fear. The universe will look after you. I’m hitting 56 now and I left home at 16 and never looked back. I did many many different jobs. Travelled to many many different countries had many many fantastic, rich experiences. The universe looked after me I’ve never wanted for a thing. Think of life as a rich tapestry. It’s up to you to create the warp and weave of your unique piece. Don’t make it monochrome. Stop living in fear. Be brave. Jump.
Amazing! Absolutely amazing x
Yeah, it all depends on your surroundings. I took the jump at 18, been travelling around in search for something Ended up being bent and broken just to achieve anything, would rather stay home and die in one place than this hell.
@@dragutintheslav-veliki790 You're the other end of the extreme, although I'd say a great many people find themselves as you are, do not despair too much the world we've known is fracturing, if you look deep enough you can see the manufactured illusion we've all been made to live.
@@dragutintheslav-veliki790 you’ve missed the point. It isn’t about “ you”. That’s the trap.
@@warriorpoet9629 No, I was simply making a point. It isn't about whether you take the risk or not, it is when and where that risk is made.
Florence and The Machine And London Grammar would make a perfect match !
I love them both too!
Adam Bhoyroo omg she sounds so like Florence of the machine
Adam Bhoyroo If it happend, I would die.
You can say that again.
When I first heard this lovely girl, It sparkled in my mind that she’s young Florence
Who's here because they have, or feel that they are, wasting young years?

I'm 18 and feel this song. I spent my entire high school years stressing over grades and now I can't even get into university. I have anxiety, depression, no friends, no car, can't even keep a part time job, meanwhile the other teenagers go partying and travelling together every weekend. I just sit in my room crying. My advice to anybody younger than me would to not be afraid and don't worry too much about school or your family. Go out now and have fun. But always remember you reap what you sow.
Hang in there young fella. Your journey in life has barely begun and so many doors can open up for you as you move forward. I am at the other end of the road and it seems to me that your generation have so much pressure put upon them to be part of all this twittering, tick tocking tosh. Leave them to it as most of it seems to be an utter waste of time. Enjoy what can you can flourish in; Photography, pottery, art, sport, cooking, swimming, reading, music - the list is endless. I found getting out into the countryside was so beneficial and it's amazing how many people you meet. It also clears your head, and there's nowt like ending the day in a cosy pub with a pint of mild and good book. AND the countryside is all absolutely free. As for university, well it's great if you really know what area of work you really want to branch out into, but if not, there are so many other avenues to explore which won't saddle you with a massive debt and yet more stressing over grades. Good luck
Don't worry, it will get better.
I'm 18 and I totally relate to you. I'm sorry. I know how you feel powerless. It's sad
Same but 19🐥
Hey - 18 is still young friend. Your young years end when you want them to and at 28 I am learning this. Take care of yourself and look to the future. You'll get there. Just do something each day that reminds you of that. Don't let sentiment cloud your judgement
Lyrics You crossed this line Do you find it hard to sit with me tonight? I've walked these miles but I've walked 'em straight lined You'll never know what was like to be fine I'm wasting my young years It doesn't matter if... I'm chasing old ideas It doesn't matter if... Maybe... We are We are Maybe I'm wasting my young years Maybe... We are We are Maybe I'm wasting my young years Don't you know that it's only fear I wouldn't worry, you have all your life I've heard it takes some time to get it right I'm wasting my young years It doesn't matter if... I'm chasing old ideas It doesn't matter if... Maybe... We are We are Maybe I'm wasting my young years Maybe... We are We are Maybe I'm wasting my young years I don't know what you want Don't leave me hanging on Don't know what you want Don't leave me hanging on
Alan Rhéaume thank you for lyrics
Thnk u 😊
Thank's
I wasted my young years traveling, fighting, drinking and falling in love. Now Im 55 settled down and doing well....in five years when I retire, Im going to waste some old years.
Kurt Sloop this comment made me actually smile
Type of comments that give strength I hope you always do well ❤
Thank you for that. I hope you enjoy your youth, you are still young. ♥️
its easy when you have money to waste in your 20's
@@Clown81178 I was broke as a joke in my 20s. I drank cheap beer, fights are free if you hang out in cheap dives and women can be won with nothing but a smile. Things don't get expensive until you actually have the money to buy them.
Nobody can out-sing this woman. Pitch perfect and really need another song. Raps into what we are feeling. Some more please 😁
she sounds a lot like Amy Lee from Evanescence, such a sweet, and haunting voice, just like Amy, I need to find how to buy the albums from this band
U don't search this song...the song comes to those who need it 💞👌😊👍
Very true!
Just searched it
I searched it bro 😢
This touches home to me. I'm 21. Very depressed. Anxiety is strong. Not doing anything really with my life at all. I just sit and drink mimosas all day long while listening to music. That's not life. I should be out doing things while I'm still in my early 20s but just the depression, drinking and insomnia makes me lay in bed all day. Ugh. I hope i break out of it because I do waste my young years.
You can do it, brother/sister(?). It's a timely process pulling yourself up out of a hole like that, but it can definitely be done. You just have to work with yourself and believe. Soon you'll be out of that dark place, it always gets better.
Cody Tylerr freeeeeee
wheres my thumbs ups cunts..
Good luck ♥♥♥
Cody Tylerr dont feel bad.. Im 37 and still feel the same, its not a matter of years.. more a state of mind I think...hope u feel better.. im sure you are. Me on the other way.. just surviving 😔...
For some reason this song makes me cry...
Me too....

Maybe you're wasting your young years then

I'm almost 18. Young right? Still, I'm not wasting a single second of this life. Whenever I can, I do stuff and I'll never stop 😎
Good job!
My son got autism loves this song. Awesome
I was 28 when I first heard this and I felt old. Now I’m 36 and 28 seems so young. Time is a weird thing. Now I’m trying not to waist a second. Beautiful song 🧡

This is reminiscent of the years wasted in depression at least I'm lucky enough to look back on that time and that I got through it and realised what being alive really is
Same same same same!

Je l'écoute depuis des années et je ne m'en lasse pas! Merci à vous pour cette magnifique mélodie 🙂
Im currently 19 and I rlly dont want a boring live, sometimes its okay to miss classes because you only live once
Enjoy school. Attend your classes live those years while you have them because the moment you start full time work. You lose years not days
The smallest things can be the most amazing in life. Go and dance in the rain, jump in puddles, experience everything that doesn't harm you. It's about the journey not the destination, so always remember to balance everything and you will have a great ride.
Aa bir Türk görmek heyecanlandırdı beni, bende 19 yaşımda hayattan bunalan birisi olarak tam anlamında sürekli burdayım ve gitmeye de niyetim yok.
Follow your instincts 🙏
Life gets boring if you make it boring. Grab any opportunity to make it joyful. Life is a play

This song has a kind of melancholy i cant explain
Still magical, years later. Love it.

Spent my youth with crippling anxiety, left school at 13. Definitely wasted my young years , through no fault of my own. My mum died when I was 21.Met a great girl at 22. Made it to uni etc . My girlfriend made me travel , I've got degrees etc and a good job. Work sucks(I'd rather be travelling etc) , and there's still issues but I pretty much feel happy every day that I am where I am. However old you feel or whatever young years you've wasted, it's not too late. Noone better at showing that that my 73 year old dad who lost his wife the year they planned to retire together. Beautiful song !
Good for you, mate…
Qui est ici après la prestation de Marghe et London Grammar sur The voice 2021 ? 🙋
When she stretches her voice... it's "excruciating" high frequencies "tormenting" my brain... I mean she doesn't exist...her voice is simply IMPOSSIBLE!! ;)
The me that listened to this at 20, I wish I could hug you. 30 is so close and we achieved so much already. Be proud of yourself. You aren’t defined by your mistakes. It’s okay.
I’m 25 with nothing going for me atm. I’m tired, I feel like I’ve wasted my young years. But I’ll keep going. To everyone reading this, we’re all gonna make it! God bless.
Bruh-sis, 25 years... "wasted my young years"... No you haven't
I really think that this song touch all of us who think they lost or are losing theirs young years cause it's really what's happening. Who is really happy ? What happiness feels like anyways, hinding yourself between studies or hard working jobs ? No one is really happy. This song describes everything.
Alan Watts. Two simple words.
If you think you have wasted your time , remember it's never too late to start.
This is my first time to listen to this London Grammar song wasting my young years this is such a beautiful song With wonderful lyrics this song made me cry from a 59 years old Irishman fan
I am 28 and I will go out more and travel more because I don't want to feel like I have missed something. I just finished my masters degree. Spend my twenties behind a desk because I thought it is so important to have a good education. I feel like I have missed all the good things in life. I haven't traveled and I haven't met interesting people. This song reminds me of what I have missed.
THI IS THE VOICE ! Amazing song..
lol :) , great song!!!
I M HERE ABOUT THAT TOO !
Je préfère quand le jeune chanteur Malo qui la chante cette chanson est juste magnifique

I hears this song for the first time while driving. I had to pull over so I didnt have an accident. I wept and howled. It was like my eyes exploded with frozen tears from 20 years of repressed pain and anguish. FOR 30 min afterward it looked like I had aged 30 years. My eyes were bloodshot and wrinkled like a 95 yo WWIII VET. OMG The music,content and tone just ripped my heart wide open before the singer even sang the first words. A miracle song but oh so sad😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
At close to 50, I look back at my younger years, like many on here I spent them studying to pass exams when others went to parties had holidays and enjoyed themselves. I would sometimes study up to 16 hours in a day just to pass endless exams. Now at almost 50 I think was it worth it? Hell yes. I have enough money to keep the ones I love in comfort. Made sure my parents had food warmth and care. My kids go to a good school have love and enjoy their lives. So hell yes it was worth it.
Thank you, Sir. I just want to tell you that your words are captured by a 22-year-old. This is my dream-- "have enough money to keep the ones I love in comfort", "kids go to a good school have love and enjoy their lives", cuz my parents didn't give me that. This is exactly why I have been spending so much time studying indeed. Thanks, Sir.
Well nowadays it's not a given working will be enough to get you there. I'm not saying you shouldn't work, but finding a balance with enjoying youth is a good idea IMHO. Some things you can do later in life, some others, not really.
you had me in the first half ngl
I have to, but then without years of studying, life is a much better school then any school you can create.
I was on the other end of the spectrum. I did end up getting a degree but I stuck to the party lifestyle. Going to festivals traveling the world working seasonal at national parks and ski resorts... always searching for something. The next town the next show...I’m 31 now and I can be honest and say I don’t regret anything but I am not financially secure by any means, in debt actually. So there is a balance in all things in life. I just hope I can find something in life that fulfills me. A job that I enjoy would mean the most to me. Just be glad those of you who made the sacrifices are financially stable now, those of us that didn’t might be working until the wheels fall off..🤷♂️
As someone in mid life, i wish someone had jus told me how truly beautiful this world really is, we are blessed with opportunity, and hope.. Never lose the love in your heart and you will always shine, the brightest lights will always be seen, and if something is going wrong for you, you'll find love in helping others, i am not religious, but spiritual we are not separate, we are connected
I'm depressed. Life isn't beautiful at all. I'm 26 and never lived.
❤️
Who’s still listening to this lovely song today? 🥰
Imagine waking up, you go to sing, and that voice comes out. I'd give anything. Plus she's absolutely lovely.
I feel like this every single day..
i think a lot of people do..
Alexander me too I'm not too old too change but I feel like I couldn't
Oh boy, Happy Valentine's Day everybody!
TokyoKazama thx♥♥♥
For some reason I felt like I had to come here and listen to this. I just turned 51 a couple of weeks ago. I was quite surprised at the flood of tears. A voice like sweet voodoo.
das ist der einzige song wozu ich immer weinen muss, weil er irgendwas krasses tiefes in mir auslöst und wachmacht.
Pareil
I'm obsessed with this band. Her voice is magical.
Like
Indeed... pure, pure magic!
True.
Yes.
I’m 18 and chronically ill. my young years are completely lost, because i’m house bound and spend all my days feeling sick, alone and miserable. all my friends go to parties, have boyfriends, go to school, are about to graduate high school, while all i do is lay in bed and go to the doctors. this song really connects with me, because the time when i’m meant to be having fun and being a teenager are gone and i’ll never be able to get them back.
This sucks so fucking much
I think something amazing about us humans is our ability to adapt to any situation, please dont think that you've wasted your life already you're still so young in fact your life may have just begun and even if this hardship still doesn't go for a while try to find happiness in it even in the smallest things I'm not saying you have to be incredibly positive all the time but looking for the things that make you happy no matter how small they are can help a lot. Just think that it's never too late for anything and that you may find different ways to get what you want in life.
Hope you find health :)
❤❤
Dont be sad please I know that so hard but u must be strong I wish a good and healthy life for u
Beautiful song. She has such a gorgeous haunting voice!
Never heard this song before, but I was on Google searching about wasted time then I see this. I know I'm not the only one that probably feels like this, but I'm 36 before you know it 37. I feel so much anxiety and depression for my wasted years, not listening to my dad's suggestions for finding the things I enjoy, meeting the wrong friends that got me into smoking weed in my 20s. It feels like a revolving door feeling this way and I'm frankly tired of it, not helping my depression I lost my dad, my best friend and I think about the time lost not showing him my potential and him telling me he's proud of me, my dad was always worried about me and I get it now, it's like he knew, but not how to help, now I just sit in this flow of negativity, I just don't know how to move on by myself and look back one day and be happy with the positive choices I made to better my life. I just feel lost and alone.
Don't be hard on yourself. You don't need your dad's or anyone's approval or praise to be a good person - it's not about what you do but who you are. We all make mistakes - I'm 60 and still wondering about mine, and I listen to this song and wonder... But I hear it as a chance to re-affirm life, questioning is a good thing, it's how we learn and grow
I hope you forgive yourself for your past mistakes. We've all been there before, but sticking to the past just takes away the valuable time you have now. You still have more than enough time to turn things around for yourself.
Now that I'm 40 I realized that I wasted my young days...I don't blame myself anymore because I did what I could at that time. I was very kind, very innocent about the world. Sometimes, I feel lost like a little child without anybody to talk about what I was really feel inside my soul.
At least you're financially stable
@@thanos1229 why do you think that am I?

I am 57 now. You can do everything you want, just need to be healthy. Do sports, eat well, with an open heard . Don’t need to be young, just in Love with yourself. Took me a long time, it was worth it 🐛🦋

So true
Close.... but our deepest regrets were born from our fears.
"The only thing in life to regret is wasted love" -me
@@tarayoung6144 Love is never wasted. It is meant to be experienced, given, and taken. The only regret is wasted time. The people, places, and things we love will change, but our love is endless. Time, the one true currency of life, is limited from your first breath to your last. You trade time for money, you spend time, you waste time. Never stop loving or fear to give that love. Just don't waste your time on anything that isn't worthy of it.
The first time I heard this beautiful song, was 10 years ago, I was 45, now I am 55, i can truly say I wasted my young years...💞 Thank you London Grammar for such beautiful music 🎵🎶
I'm so glad i've been following this band from the very start and are getting the audience attention they deserve.. No other band could pull off what these guys make. Hannah's voice is just perfect
LG are a great band but Agnes Obel is creating magic as well. Check out the 2014 single "the curse"
Will do! :)
wickydwun She is indeed and you are most welcome !
Hannah = Lorde (soft version)
Ka mos Lorde wish she could be Hannah
May 21,2024 still rocking this song! So beautiful!
everyone saying this is sad??? I get such happy vibes.. life like all things are fleeting find the happiness in impermanence ❤️🩹
yeah i wasted them so good that i want a come back.....
Hello beautiful person scrolling through the comments sending you positive and healing vibes and a huge virtual hug ❤
you know when you start crying and have know idea why you're crying? yep, that was me listening to this song. her voice is so beautiful and this song is beautiful and everything about this video is beautiful.
I don't think the world has properly recognized what a gem this song is. So incredible ❤️
the mash up of this and “black is the colour” is amazing
I would say that about most of their music. It fills the same niche for me as Enya - soft, melodic, and haunting. Which is kind of weird for me as someone who bleeds hard and progressive rock.
IMO this is her best song
Truly a gem!
True🥰
No such thing as wasted time. Just let life take you where it wants to. No matter what we do we're all at the mercy of the Universe. Your life can change with every breath you take.
Everyone has a unique purpose & God gives it to you. He will give you everything you need, submit yourselves unto him.
Amen.
That voice gives me chills.
I turned 27 years old last week and for the last few years I've been feeling how my youth escape from me and there wasn't anything that I can do. As a health worker, the pandemic almost destroy my entire mind and it's still doing it. 5 years studing a career I don't even know I like anymore and the idea of studing another one it's so hard because it's quite expensive. I was feeling so despair the last year until I decided things needed to change. I'm going on a trip far from home to find my own happiness and my only worry was about quitting my current job. I wasn't sure about it this morning but now reading so much comments about wasting young years doing things you don't like thiking about the better days will come helped me made up my mind. So I tell you all, take the chances and jump, it's scary but it worth it 💕
I've gratuated with a BsN in nursing and let me tell you, i was facing this same crisis you are, especially after the pandemic. I realised I really don't want to waste my young years, and that this kind of work really will drain the life out of me (I have a chronic illness that I've discovered whilst getting my degree). Right now, I'm 23, my wedding is in 2 weeks, and I plan on giving myself some time, go on trips, travel, etc... I'm a freelancer though, I have found joy in teaching nursing, so yeah, hope this helps? to know that you're not alone :)
@@ayamoallem7415 actually, after much thinking about what I want about my life, I decided I'm going to quit my job and go overseas to study english and travel. It wasn't an easy choice but I want to try it and maybe make some mistakes, I don't know, but I want to live the adventure. Thank u for your kind words (and I'm a nurse hehe)
To all the young people out there who might be feeling lost in this world full of chaos I tell you everything works out later in life, you just have to keep grinding whatever you're up to, having a positive attitude and a positive outlook on life is one of the best decisions you can take early in life because that will carry you thru the rest of your life, never give up, always keep hope, you are the future of humanity!
I always lived for composing and making music. When I came home after school, I was sitting in front of my piano. Same after university. Always evolving musically - composing, playing piano. Then I started to work at age 25. Now I am sitting in an office all day for almost 10 years. Having family and responsibilities. Hardly playing any instrument over months and missing music so much, that I sometimes wish to die because this is not the life I wished for. I would give everything to turn back time, study music and compose till I am an old man.. Every time I repeat this song, it ties my heart and lungs even tighter.. and I repeat it a lot
PPs :do it now!:)
It sounds like you had and still have a pretty strong bond with music - don't abandon it. Pursue it, make time for it, even if it's just 2h every weekend, alone in your garage (if you have one). It sounds like you really need to give yourself a chance at trying out the life you hoped you'd have, before you start resenting the life you do have. If you can not make time for your passions & interests, then maybe address it with your spouse as well. Perhaps you'd be surprised to find that they share the despair. Finding time for yourself is crucial for a healthy life & relationship. Start off with that, look up local bands, sign up to small gigs and maybe it will lead you back to the path you wished to be on or at least give you the satisfaction that your talent is not going to waste.
Damn....time passes by so fast! So live for today and stop worrying about tomorrow! The future is NOW!
