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 ↴
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 by Le Youth Ocula & Nathan Nicholson (Grigoré Remix) is a mesmerizing rendition of the original song that explores the idea of regret and the various possibilities that life offers. The lyrics depict a person waiting in the car, contemplating different outcomes and possibilities while being afraid of getting out. The feeling of being entrapped, uncertain, and confused is further emphasized through the lyrics that speak of how morning breaks from pieces of a dream, and how ignorance is bliss. The lines "If only I didn't check my phone" further underscore how the smallest actions can lead to the most significant regrets and how the person wishes they could go back in time and change what they did.
Overall, If Only is a thought-provoking song that resonates with anyone who has experienced regret at some point in their lives. The lyrics are beautifully written, and the Grigoré remix adds a unique and addictive beat that enhances the overall listening experience.
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
If only
I wish things were different
If only
I wish things were different
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.
