16.00€
"It's Amazing To Be Young" is the anthemic follow-up single to Fontaines D.C.'s critically-acclaimed fourth album "ROMANCE". The track is available on a limited-edition 7" vinyl, accompanied by new B-side "Before You I Just Forget".
“It’s Amazing To Be Young” is akin to the Romance highlight “Favourite,” emanating a jangly and wistful sound. About the tune, Conor Deegan III said:
“It’s Amazing To Be Young” is a song that was written in the presence of a newborn child — Carlos’ child. It sounded more like a lullaby or a music box then, but with the same lyric — “it’s amazing to be young.” The feeling of hope a child can give is profound and moving, especially for young men like us. That sense of wanting to create a world for them to grow up in happily. It’s a feeling that fights against the cynicism that can often overtake us in the modern world. So we wanted to declare which side we were on — it really is amazing to be young. We are still free, and want to make that feeling spread. We want to protect it for the others around us, and maybe in doing that, can also help protect it for ourselves".
