In 2015 they shared stages with We Are The Ocean, Mallory Knox, Deaf Havana, Sam Duckworth, Verses and loads more, releasing 'Empires' and 'The True Lost Boys' along the way.
So far in 2016, they've been out on tour with Hands Like Houses, and have been releasing a single / month through their fan club, Team TGY.
After putting out three EPs in first year as a band, they're releasing monthly singles in 2016. TGY started with a February double whammy of 'Resolutions' and 'DST', and in March they're releasing 'All She Ever Does'. TGY constantly writing new music, and it feels like a great way to get the songs out there there instead of making people wait ages for for a debut full length record.
In 2017, the band released their official debut studio album, Always Lose. It was received well by critics and landed on many best-of lists at the end of the year.
In 2018, lead vocalist Sam Little was accused of sexual misconduct, and following a statement made by the band, promptly kicked out of The Gospel Youth.
Homesick
The Gospel Youth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I never thought I'd find
Thought I'd spend all my days
Feeling lost and alone
But then you came along
Gave this old heart a home and you saved me
Oh, you made me believe again
Took me in from the cold
Placed a kiss on my neck
Put your hand on my chest
And you claimed me
Oh, you felt like home
Even though I may be leaving
I can promise you, my dear
I'll be coming back to you
I'll be coming back to you
And though it may be the hardest
I know this much is true
I'll be coming back to you
I'll be coming back to you
You are everything that I've wanted
But I never thought I'd find
Thought I'd spend all my days
Feeling lost and alone
But then you came along
Gave this old heart a home and you saved me
Oh, you felt like home
Even though I may be leaving
I can promise you, my dear
I'll be coming back to you
I'll be coming back to you
And though it may be the hardest
I know this much is true
I'll be coming back to you
I'll be coming back to you
(I'll be coming back to you)
(I'll be coming back to you)
And I'll be coming back to you
