Young the Giant are an American alternative rock band who formed in Irvine, California in 2004. The band consists of Sameer Gadhia (vocals, percussion), Jacob Tilley (guitar), Eric Cannata (guitar), Payam Doostzadeh (bass) and François Comtois (drums). The band's name is purposefully nonsensical; Gadhia explained it as a "leftfield idea" meant to evoke curiosity.
The band released their debut self-titled album, Young the Giant, on 25 January 2011, which was preceded by a digital-only release in October 2010.

Verse: DA Life’s too short to even care at all oh whoa-oh GA I’m losing my mind losing my mind losing control DA These fishes in the sea they’re staring at me oh whoa-oh oh whoa-oh-oh GA A wet world aches for a beat of a drum oh whoa oh
Chorus: BmA If I could find a way to see this straight I’d run away AbGBmA To some fortune that I should have found by now GBmA I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down come down
