Gang Of Youths - What Can I Do If The Fire Goes Out? Lyrics
This is the sound of a soul in tune
To a savage desire for a soul made new
It's a savage desire for a soul untamed
A definitive cry in the present age
Do those things grow in the fire
Or burn just to keep me complying?
Can you still show me the way? Can you still show me a light?
'Cause I was only a kid when I fell and you tossed me aside, hey
What can I do if the fire goes out?
'Cause I don't know if I can live without
I wanna taste and see if the Lord is good
I wanna know if I'm heard and if I'm understood
Or if having desire is summoned deep within
Do I throw my clothes in the fire? Do I throw my hopes in the fire?
Do those things grow in the fire
Or burn just to keep me alive?
Can you still show me the way? Can you still show me a light?
'Cause I was only a kid when I fell and you left me behind, oh
What can I do if the fire goes out?
'Cause I don't know if I can live without

Gang Of Youths What Can I Do If The Fire Goes Out? Comments
I came here after NBT but I just descovery a beautiful and touching piece of art by yourself. Congrats BofY
Dmas and these wow the Aussies have got the sounds
ayyyy they support the mighty toffees as well
Slapper
Песня шикос ребята, гитарные морфемки напоминают великую группу stuck in the sound -zapruder
Like the altar of incense before the holy of holy‘s in the Jerusalem Temple, we are meant to smolder at all times. Flame burns bright, but it destroys the sweet smell of smoldering incense. Only the spirit can determine whether we burn or smolder. Your enemies may make you burn it as a martyr 1 time. The Holy Spirit would have you smolder every day of your life thru A prayerful existence.
God is never self described as being a female. The Holy Spirit is described as neither masculine or feminine. This is popular foolishness to redefine the father as being a woman. Stemming from the Babylonian cult of Tammus.
I wanted to learn how to play the drums for years and years, and when I heard this song for the first time it made me finally take the plunge and take up drum lessons and then finally buy my own kit. I love it so much. This is such an incredible song. I never get bored of it.
People saying "ohh yeah nothing but thieves brought me here" mate the originals 10x better then that shitty cover
this band is AMAZING and every single one of their song is an art, they really do deserve way more recognition
i'm here because of last night, saw them opening for Mumford and sons in Paris, great energy, great performance, epic band
These guys can try Greek Bouzouki instrument their guitarist would be top end :)
Nothing But Thieves raised this song to another level
I am here because of my friend, River Leask. RIP River.
this is the most brilliant song i've ever listened.
Anyone else think this sounds like gaslight anthem?
I'm getting a Killers / Springsteen vibe
I'm thinking more Arcade Fire
It's the drumming that gets me.............wow!
Magical song.
Gang of youths would be way more popular if they came out in early to mid 2000's
caricaturas
JFC the riff is out of this world!
is it just me, or does this sound a lot like Teenage Fanclub?
Nothing but thieves version is waaaay better
I went into a surf shop a few hours ago and this was playing through the speakers, I never shazam'd a song so fast before aha loving that lead 🙌💯
I saw this live two nights ago. They killed it and totally blew the venue to pieces. So epic
So glad I found this song
Beginning has an old Bloc Party vibe. This guys are awesome!
Jon Ruiz Olazabal - not as good as Matt Chung but I get where your coming from
The whole song sounds like it could easily fit on silent alarm. Such a tune
Who discovered this band watching the NRL grand final??
I gotta say this song and band are Incredible
Finally, real stars, real music, they have arrived!
NRL grand final brought me here
YES IM HERE BECAUSE OF NOTHING BUT THIEVES WANTED TO SEE WHAT WAS DIFFERENT SORRY LOVE THEIRS BETTER
What do we do when the power's out?
You jump start that shit with all you got. You only get one great Love in your lifetime.
what do we do when the lights go down?
Trip switch
I feel like in the 80s or 90s this would have been very big. The band is verytalented. People just don't appreciate good music today sadly. They would rather listen to garbage than real musicians in 2018.
Beginning reminds me of Rage Against the Machine... Keep expecting the beat to drop lol
I'm here because of Nothing But Thieves
SAMMMMEEEEE
Same. But Conor = perfection
MissScreamvoice same
They have more views than this video lmao
Same boii
Every once in a while I come across a song, that remembers me of her. It's normally a subtle feeling, from only a small passage.
But this one hit deep.
An all out attack on my heart.
Nothing but Giant Trees reminds*
I Seen this played by Nothing But Thieves, it was an Awesome cover!
Conor's performance was awesome.
Best smoko listening to this jam
i loved this song till i knew it was about god, no disrespect to believers but i think this song has a truth in life beyond god to me. like your passion or drive is your fire, when you lose it can it be reignited and can you find more drive or purpose. when i was younger i was more temperamental but learned to be more accommodating. i think that to conform is a misktake and you should find people that see your fire and watch it grow.
antixo - this has nothing to do with god. “It’s about empathy, finding humanness and trying to negotiate the sickness of soul as a millennial with no clue.”
They have said in multiple interviews that this song is about trying to reignite your passion for something when you are lost.
fair enough, i just googled on fire and the result i got was when someone is going really good with the lord. glad to hear the song has aspects of what i thought it was about because it makes the song a lot more powerful to me and resonates with me also. thanks for the clarification.
It sounds like an older song from another band. I just can't think of it.
Бля ребят, ахуенный трек
Can hear a tinge of The Killers.....?
Triple M brought me here
Home! Let me go home!
Home is wherever I'm with you!
Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros
Same melody
Love It!😌
I play this song everyday, can't get enough of it. :)
[Verse 1]
This is the sound of a soul in tune
To a savage desire for a soul made new
It's a savage desire for a soul untamed
A definitive cry in the present age
[Pre-Chorus]
Do I throw my clothes in the fire? Do I throw my hopes in the fire?
Do those things grow in the fire
Or burn just to keep me complying?
Can you still show me the way? Can you still show me a light?
'Cause I was only a kid when I fell and you tossed me aside, hey
[Chorus]
What can I do if the fire goes out?
'Cause I don't know if I can live without
[Verse 2]
I wanna taste and see if the Lord is good
I wanna know if I'm heard and if I'm understood
See the savage desire is some stupid thing
Or if having desire is summoned deep within
[Pre-Chorus]
Do I throw my clothes in the fire? Do I throw my hopes in the fire?
Do those things grow in the fire
Or burn just to keep me alive?
Can you still show me the way? Can you still show me a light?
'Cause I was only a kid when I fell and you left me behind, oh
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
What can I do if the fire goes out?
'Cause I don't know if I can live without
Thanks you for posting the lyrics!
wouldnt your hand get tired from playing that really fast guitar solo at 00:20
Reminds me of Brandon flowers, video has a pink Floyd feel
this is my favourite goy song by far always stuck in my head
the best song honestly, took me places I’ve never been before ❤️
Spectacular. I get worried when I see the pop music these days as its shot to bits. But this is proof that real music really still exists.
Love this song!!!!!!
HOW ARE THESE GUYS NOT THE BIGGEST THING IN THE WORLD!?!
SERUOUSLY!
22 dislikes......there shouldn't be any dislikes!!!
Man, these guys are going to be huge.
What an intro <3
shouldve been number 1 on the hottest 100
got 10th on hottest 100, should've been #1 imo. anyway great song.
「アークジェク」すべての歴史のためのホモ 10 is good for them. They will take what comes
Was a banger in the top 100! Great job!
My favourite song of theirs. Energy energy energy. LOVE it. In my top 10!
Great music. Good to see Aussie music doing so well. Luv it and keep up the good work!
That fuckin' guitar... its amazing
Fire🔥🔥🔥
why is this band not more recognised? Strong lyrics, great music and a connection to real life.
they won album of the year at the arias?
I throw my marshmallows on the fire
good song, shithouse videoclip.
First time listening to the band. Pretty underwhelmed to be honest
You have shit taste in music then, to be honest.
Aleisha Crabb exactly
Rhett Broadby have you seen let me down easy mate
This song hit me right in the heart everytime I hear it. It's beautiful.
This song sounds identical to an older song from the last ten years but I can’t put my finger on it
through the fire and the flames
It's got a bit of a Bloc Party feel to it
I worked it out! It’s “When you were young” by The Killers
EXACTLY!
zeemonkeyman1 the gaslight anthem vibes 🤙🏻
Haha 4 cunts were like yeah nah nah, That riff....
Looking for feedback on my first EP 'Audacious Blarney' which is on my channel, if anyone is interested in helping out :)
Best song ever
I thought they couldn't top The Positions, but I was wrong.
YEP there is a reason why this hasn't gotten any thumbs down... it's a fucking great song. I have been a fan of Gang of Youths since the beginning and i am so proud of how far they have come. The second album is gonna be a ripper
Ruby Milne you never say that because someone always goes out to give a video a thumbs down if they see a comment like this.
the oriental music in GOY's music recently creates such a good vibe
fuck i love the drums in this!
Should be #1 hottest 100! Whataya reckon?
no doubt in my mind.
Got 10th, shouldve been higher
Definately
This song is so calming to me
I cannot stop listening arghhhhh it's so good! I love your music GOY, great inspiration.
fuckin yessssss. been serching my whole life for this 1 song
This song deserves WAY more attention. Easily my favourite song of 2017. Its just so beautiful, and happy, and sad at the same time. Amazing, can't wait to see you guys live again!
I'm leaning towards "Let me down easy tonight" but yeah, this is awesome . . .
Same dude. You voting in the Triple J's Hottest 100? My #1 is Second hand car by Kim Churchill. hbu?
It goes for too long and it has unnecessary sections. I'm working on an edit and video that I'll be posting shortly.
So tru has to be one of my fav songs ever. Still so in love with it no matter how many times I hear it.
It proves your point when British radio stations are saying "the best new band from 2018".
I can't love this song enough. 🔥🔥
have people just jumped ship on GOY or something? Bunch of a bandwagon fans. This should be already up on the 100'000s
13dirty666 how dare people start liking a band you like, blasphemy.
He's not complaining about people liking GOY. He's saying this song should have more views and wondering where all the fans are. To be fair he did post that comment just after the vid was released so that's probably why it had no views
People don't have to like shit just because you like it, homie, get over yourself.. geez.
Oh no, not the bandwagon fans...
Sometimes it takes a while for people to find something with so much variety out there
Why is this not getting the views it deserves!
Maybe it's shit.
540 Views on this is a crime, deserves so much more attention...
love it
Beautiful.
Its a shame you aren't more popular.
Siq vid
I tried lighting the fire after it went out, going to have to live without.
nice meme
yes yes yes
