He has amassed over 350,000,000 streams on the back of a plethora of releases and remixes on some of the most respected labels in the genre. From Lane 8's This Never Happened to Anjunabeats, Armada Electronic Elements and many more, Le Youth continues to push the boundaries with each release.

Inspired by the deep and melodic sounds of Lane 8, Ben Böhmer, Sasha, and Eric Prydz, Le Youth has dedicated himself to crafting music that works in every setting; from chilled nights in, or euphoric nights out - and everything in between. His recent forays into collecting vintage studio gear and synthesizers has expanded his horizons, allowing him to rediscover the analog essences of dance music. This, combined with his experimentation with these tools, has led him to develop a distinct and captivating sound.

In 2022, Le Youth took his career to the next level with the release of his debut album "Reminders", the culmination of a 3-year sonic journey. This was supported by an extensive global touring schedule and sell out run of dates throughout North America.

2023 looks to see even more growth, with an intense music release schedule and a brand new Touring concept called "About Us", it's shaping up to be the most exciting year yet in the career of Le Youth.

If Only
Le Youth Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't tell how long I've waited in the car
Engine off and laying low
Play out every outcome to excess
Afraid of getting out

Morning breaks from pieces of a dream
Ignorance is bliss, yeah
If only I didn't check my phone

If only
If only
If only
If only

Line by Line Meaning

Can't tell how long I've waited in the car
I cannot determine how much time has gone by as I sit in the car

Engine off and laying low
The car is turned off and I am hiding

Play out every outcome to excess
I overthink every possible scenario excessively

Afraid of getting out
I fear leaving the safety of my current situation

Morning breaks from pieces of a dream
As I wake up, my thoughts are fragmented like a dream

Ignorance is bliss, yeah
It is easier to be ignorant and avoid unpleasant truths

If only I didn't check my phone
I regret looking at my phone, causing negative repercussions

If only
I wish things were different

I can't explain it. The sound of this one, it takes me back to when I was maybe 15, walking into the Chicago Museum of Art. Yeah that day wasn't the best due to reasons, but some moments still hold dear to my heart, and how I wish I could visit there again.
