A Beautifully Crafted Song: Young Folks (with clip)

I really love this work. It is simple yet blissful. Its the song by swedish indie rock band known by the name of 'Peter Bjorn and John', the first name of each member of the band: Peter Morén (vocals, guitar and harmonica), Björn Yttling (bass guitar, keyboards and vocals) and John Eriksson (drums, percussion and vocals).


Young Folks was actually their single in 2006 which was New Musical Express 2nd best track of the year 2006. Its currently a featured song in the movie '21'.


The song would capture the listeners not just by the melody but also with the easy going lyrics as the title of the song implies. I especially love the video clips.
It is made based on classical cartoon layout.


The song sounded like Jamaican, Brazilian Samba with a bit taste of the Beatles. The rhythm is so very catchy.
Give it a shot, you'll fall for it.




if i told you things i did before
told you how i used to be
would you go along with someone like me
if you knew my story word for word
had all of my history
would you go along with someone like me

i did before and had my share
it didn't lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn't matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

usually when things has gone this far
people tend to disappear
no one would surprise me unless you do

i can tell there's something goin' on
hours seem to disappear
everyone is leaving i'm still with you

it doesn't matter what we do
where we are going to
we can stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you
(repeat)
talking only me and you

talking only me and you
talking only me and you
