Lyrics:
Stop! the train is riding
Down to the station
Where you lived
When we were school kids

Hey! the rails are gone now
And I am falling down
Fools in a spiral
Round this town of steel

My body tells me no
But I won't quit
Cause I want more

Stop! the train is riding
Down to the station
Where I lived
When I was a cool kid

Hey! is it my fault that
The fallen embers burn
Down in a spiral
Round your crown of thieves

My body tells me no
But I won't quit
Cause I want more

It rides out of town

Oh, it's my road
And it's my war

His eyes are open

My body tells me no
But I won't quit
Cause I want more

It rides out of town

This is our pump-up song. My gf of 4+ years has been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of cancer that is inoperable and incurable. We don't know how much time is left but know it isn't much. But we use our mutual appreciation of music, art, food and most of all, people to get through the moments.

We dance to it, we sing with it, we feel it. Thank you, for this very special piece of art - it has a very deep meaning with us <3

[delchavez]

I cannot get over how amazing the singer's voice is.  So much range, control, tone, power.  Superb.

I worked as an assistant director on this video! The guys were really cool despite having flown to SoCal from Texas overnight to shoot the video. They still managed to give it their all. I'm still friends with the actor who played the artist, to this day.

Can’t believe this was 10 years ago. I remember being a little kid playing NHL 15 on my/my dads ps3 and listening to this song. Good times.

This vid is about a guy who doesn't know who he is or what he's doing. He finds a interest in something(himself). People are trying to pull him away but he keeps on going even though his body tells him no but he wants more and in the end he realizes who he really is.

[JohnMushitu]

For anyone suffering from depression, addiction, illness, or any ailment...this is for us

[achannell]

I was not gifted musically (sigh) so I find it extremely attractive when the music just oozes out of every pore from a gifted musician. It’s not necessarily their face or body that makes them attractive it’s the passion in their voice and movement of their body as they are performing. The way he moves just adds a whole other feel to the song. Sameer is amazing! This band deserves more recognition. This is a song that will never get old!

[leoqueen]

I listened to this song while getting clean from methadone, 10 years clean and sober today!!

[EmilyHummingbird]

He's. So. Attractive. And his voice! Gah! Thanks Young the Giant for a song that I can always run to! <3

As someone trying to make the best out of life while being chronically ill, I feel like this is my theme song

[jakespretorius]

Vocals sublime. Guitar play amazing. Drums great rhythm. Message positive. All adds up to a great song

[angelsunlight]

I remember when these guys hadn’t made it big yet and were called The Jakes. I remember seeing them and meeting them at bottom of the hill in San Francisco. Feels like so long ago. Time flies

[ashley-lpnf]

my fav lyric of the song is ''When I was a cool kid''1:42 its gives me an old time vibe

[mhope]

Literally perfect workout song. Fast tempo, sweet guitar, "my body tells me no but I won't quit cuz I want more"? Seriously. Perfect workout song.

[codymichelini]

One of the best bands of their time. Since the first time I heard them 5 years ago I was mesmerized. They came to South Lake Tahoe and played a free concert in the middle of winter. It was one of the most enchanting things I’ve ever witnessed and from that day ok I was a fan. I’ve now seen them live twice and they absolutely kill it at their live shows. Lifetime fan here

I remember back in 2011 I was running the Austin Livestrong marathon. I was about 20 miles in and this song came on. Helped me push through the run. Trained for 4 months. Finished my first marathon in 4hrs26 min.

[ajperez]

discovered this song a few months ago and honestly, love it, feel it, get it. we tend to forget how healing music can be and if you've ever faced wanting to give up, cash it in, quit, this is definitely an anthem. i would've thought by now it'd be over, my body'd give up, i could just leave, but the spirit i think is what keeps many of us here despite wanting to go. amazing song and a favorite of my tribe's... we sing along and loud!

[Ticnsndbfbfbd]

Depression is a bitch. This song helps cheer me up.

[haileyxxelizabeth]

I think the amount i love this song is unhealthy.

[PLMORRISON]

Getting older, this song really resonates with me. As our bodies start showing ( and feeling) signs of wear, we just keep pushing through, trying to hold onto as much of our youth as we can. I got back into skiing this year, after being away from it for so many years. It made me realise how you have to make the most of the time you have and do things whilst your body will allow.
