沪江英乐 Young the Giant这支独立摇滚乐队2004年成立于美国加州。乐队成员包括Sameer Gadhia（主唱）、Jacob Tilley（吉他）、Eric Cannata（吉他）、Payam Doostzadeh（贝斯吉他）和 Francois Comtois（鼓手）。

最初乐队取名为The Jakes，2008年他们自己录制了乐队的第一张专辑“Shake My Hand”，彼时乐队的两名成员还在上高中，其余的也在不同的大学读书。不久他们便决定搁下学业专心创作音乐。当时还留在乐队的Jason Burger后来离开了乐队，去纽约追寻自己自由音乐家的梦想，Franois Comtois就接替他作了乐队鼓手。2008年冬天,乐队赢得了一次网上竞赛，从而得到了一次于2009年1月在芝加哥的蓝调之屋为Kings Of Leon作开场表演的机会。两个月后，乐队又在奥斯丁的South by Southwest音乐节上进行了四场表演。2009年8月即签入了Roadrunner Records旗下。12月乐队宣布改名为Young the Giant。

【Lyrics】

If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
Come down

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue
These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart
Oh oh oh oh
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh

If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune I should have found by now

And so I run out to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control

If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now

And so I run out to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

One more spoon of cough syrup now oh
One more spoon of cough syrup now oh
