At the epicenter of an impossibly fast-moving world sits Fontaines D.C., choosing instead to live in the moment. Their new single, “It’s Amazing To Be Young,” reveals youthful optimism, rejecting the hive-mind mentality that pressures people to grow up too quickly.

However, Fontaines D.C. doesn’t suggest that youth is life’s peak. Instead, they take a more grounded approach: it’s amazing to be young and nurturing, and they appreciate that youth is just as important. The sentiment is inspiring, carried by whimsical melodies reminiscent of The Cure.

Twinkling soundscapes intertwine with hopeful lyricism, but the song’s authenticity truly propels it forward. “It’s Amazing To Be Young” offers a charming critique of societal pressures, seen through the eyes of those who genuinely embrace the present. Somehow, its deep roots in the now make it feel distinctly forward-thinking.

Fontaines D.C. delivers a revitalizing and effortless sound, reinvigorating the listener’s spirit without trying too hard. “It’s Amazing To Be Young” captures a euphoria born from an unfiltered love of life.
