In September, two short promotional videos were released for the single "Discotech". In October, a full video featuring live footage was released for the single, and on November 21, 2006, the Young Love EP was released on iTunes, and featured "Discotech" a new song, "Tragedy" and two remixes. In December, Young Love played several shows with British MC Lady Sovereign.
In early January 2007, Billboard listed Young Love as one of "2007's Best Bets" for the year, and described their album as "...the kind of pop that we've been missing: melodic, catchy, smart and as young and in love-with the ubiquitous 'she'-as Romeo...". On January 3, 2007, MTV premiered the video for the band's newest single, "Find A New Way". In addition, the single will serve as the theme song for the network's new Jennifer Lopez-produced reality series, DanceLife, which premiered January 15, 2007.
January 30, 2007 was the official release of Young Love's full-length debut, Too Young to Fight It. The album includes both "Discotech" and "Tragedy" along with nine more original songs. In February, the band will start a tour, playing shows with several different acts including Foreign Islands, Morors Eros, and Federalist.
Their sophomore album titled "One of Us" is due out on April 28th, 2009.
Black Boots
Young Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's sure is nice to feel good again
I see a door left open beggars and kings
Come and go, it'll never close
I got my black boots on, gonna show up late
But that's okay because we won't leave till dawn
I've got my black boots on, I want your body shirt off
Put your hands together for each other
Oh, oh, oh
Hands together for each other
Oh, oh, oh
We start fires to make the cost up
We laughed, we screamed, we hid from the cops
It was Christmas Eve that streets were empty
We ran so hard, it hurt to breathe
I got my black boots on, gonna show up late
But that's okay because we won't leave till dawn
I've got my black boots on, I want your body shirt off
This river of fun is coming, coming to take us home
Put your hands together for each other
Oh, oh, oh
Hands together for each other
Oh, oh, oh
Hands together for each other
Oh, oh, oh
Put your hands together for each other
Oh, oh, oh
Hands together for each other
Oh, oh, oh
Hands together for each other
Oh, oh, oh
Put your hands together for each other
Oh, oh, oh
Hands together for each other
Oh, oh, oh
Hands together for each other
Oh, oh, oh
