I always thought Daydreamer would be the best choice.

I just realized the awesomeness of cough syrup after brushing over it 2 years ago when I was only into pop and rap
an really nothing on the new album comes close to it

That's the only songs from them that I feel that comes close to "Cough Syrup" musically and lyrically.

The fact that this is taking so long to move is alarming.

Apparently you have to hit #1 for your 2nd single to do well.

I'm in love with this song. The whole album is great, but this song in particular shows a different side to Sameer's talent. The official video just came out. Hopefully it gives it a boost. I wanna see this go top 5. Especially since it's so different than "It's About Time" Too soon to tell, but I think they should push it to Hot AC and AAA as well. Cage the Elephant did it with "Come A Little Closer", so why not.

Y'all got to understand I'm not as up to date on most music. I quit listening to current music in 2002 because I felt it lost its touch around that time. Personally I was going through a anti-cool/hip phase. I indulged in classic radio stations like classic rock and even went through a 80s pop, classic soul, and hair metal phase. Then in 2011, I started to downloading some albums on IMesh of more recent music, and for a while got into rap music and metal. I got over rap and started listening to just rock. I was in a motel for over a year and half the time I was without sat cable and a android device so I could only listen on the radio or look up albums on Spotify which i did not do much of and never really wanted to go through the trouble of listening to stations online. When I got my HTC in 2013, I started a while later listening to Tune-In and hearing this Got Music's stations and re-discovering alternative. Because I have not been out and about or living a full life, its why I have not been up to date on music.

This has grown on me a lot. It's odd this really isn't doing anything after a #3 #2 lead single though. Especially weird because YtG had a pretty successful first album cycle.

This is so disappointing I can't even begin. I'm like Jack in my avatar right now god this did worse than "Apartment", a 3rd single!

Goes to show they should have gone with "Crystallized". Though I wanted this to smash also.

This should've been the third single after Crystallized.

I hope this keeps moving up. They're too strong a band to be losing their alternative cred during their second era. Top 10 would be awesome.

Young The Giant needs better promotion. this song is easily better than half the songs on the alt Rock top 20.

I'm starting to get really into this song. I still think this should have been the third single after "Crystallized", but I'm more open to this being the second single now. Hope this makes Top 10, but things aren't looking all that great.

DAFUQ did this mass turnaround come from? All of a sudden top 10 is seriously on the cards and the album could become another success. Canada needs to jump on this too, Young The Giant usually does extremely well on Canada-Alt.

I hate to disagree with the majority, but I found this rather mediocre, just like all their other singles. Another band that I haven't been able to get into.
