Instagram Reveal
Today (February 19), the Dublin rockers shared a video featuring their new song on their official Instagram account. The clip opens with a close-up of a girl gazing curiously into the camera. As the shot widens, it reveals that she is sitting in the trunk of a small red car, her hands pressed against the rear window.
The scene continues as the car drives through a suburban area. The clip concludes with a title card displaying: “It is amazing to be young” in vibrant red text.
Fan Reactions and Anticipation
“It is amazing to be young / sometimes I wake up, and it is dark / performs a ritual that puts me in the unit.” The frontman, Gyan Gyan Chatten, pairs these lyrics with an optimistic melody, featuring bright acoustic guitars and rhythmic drums that create a captivating soundtrack for the clip.
This new song is reminiscent of “Favorite,” celebrating the second single released from their critically acclaimed fourth album “Romance.” The message proclaims: “New. It is amazing to be young.”
Fans quickly took to the comments section to express their excitement, with one user exclaiming: “We need a romantic edition Deluxe!!!” while another added: “New music already? Best news we’ve had all week.”
