Past Members: Alex Silverman
Forming back in 2007, This Century have quickly become one of the more exciting pop/rock bands to enter the scene. With their first LP release on Action Theory/Warner Bros. entitled “Sound Of Fire”, the band solidified their spot amongst the top tier of the pop/rock circuit. Soon after the release, AP Magazine named the them as one of the “100 Bands You Need To Know for 2011”. Their unique combination of anthemic pop and die hard grassroots fan base has led them to extensive tour dates with the likes of Good Charlotte, The Maine, The Ready Set, Breathe Carolina, Hey Monday and many others.
The band has recently teamed up with producer Colby Wedgeworth (The Maine) to work on music for their upcoming second LP that is yet to be released. ”We’re always trying to push the limits of what a pop band can be and we feel that we strive to top ourselves each time around.” says guitarist Sean Silverman about the upcoming release. The band is gearing up for a busy year that kick-starts with their brand new single. The song is an upbeat tour de force of pop that frontman Joel Kanitz calls ”the perfect summer anthem with a larger than life sound.”
This Century has most recently seen a large rise in popularity in Southeast Asia, where their songs “Sound of Fire” and “Everywhere, Everything” have both reached #1 on top 40 radio formats and continue to receive consistent radio attention. Plans for 2012 will include a run of international dates in support of their recent success. “We really feel like we’re developing something special internationally, something completely organic and new.” says bassist Alex Silverman, “There’s an excitement surrounding it that makes you eager to find out where our amazing fans are going to take the band next.”

Young Love
This Century Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tell me how it is
your heart is in the future where ive always been
I dont wanna tell you how live
but television isnt how it really is
crash and burn or give in
watch and learn from living
you could be the one, everyone
tries to fight in life for love worth keeping
time alone can change, anyone
you and i are the same, everyone
tries to fight in life for love worth keeping
Young love
this is how it is
its hard to find a fairytale ending
cause real love is the remedy
its the heart in me bringing out the melody
crash and burn or give in
watch and learn from living
I could be the one, anyone
you could be the one, everyone
tries to fight in life for love worth keeping
time alone can change, anyone
you and i are the same, everyone
tries to fight in life for love worth keeping
You're never gonna find what your looking for
you're never gonna find what your looking for
I said you're never gonna find what your looking for
no no no oo
I could be the one
you could be the one
tries to fight in life for love worth keeping
time alone can change, anyone
you and i are the same, everyone
tries to fight in life for love worth keeping
tries to fight in life for love worth keeping
The central theme of This Century's catchy, romantic song "Young Love" is exactly what the title suggests: young love. The chorus repeats a declaration of the worth of fighting for love that is truly worth keeping, and the verses take a step deeper into describing what that love looks like and how it might be achieved.
The first verse addresses a hypothetical "you" with an interesting twist, as the singer claims to be where this person's heart is located: "your heart is in the future where I've always been" is a clever line that hints at the idea of finding someone who essentially shares your values and goals. The next line denies the effectiveness of television as a guide to life, urging the subject of the song to either "crash and burn or give in" and "watch and learn from living." This seems to convey a sense of adventure and recklessness as more valuable than a cautious, sanitised approach to love.
The second verse takes the idea one step further, with a more mature acknowledgement of the challenges inherent in finding "real love." "Young Love" is ultimately a hopeful song about the possibility of finding a connection with someone, even in the face of the daunting task of sorting through what seems like an endless parade of potential partners. Through it all, This Century reminds us that it's worth trying to find that love worth keeping.
