Lyrics:
Billy, come home.
And Billy, don't stop.
Daddy come home.
And Daddy don't talk.
Radio hides a shitty old cop.
Maybe I'm high and maybe I'm not.
There was sadness
coming through to you.
Wonder how I caught it…
Wonder how it started…
Angel in the garden,
the razor was sharpened.
** I don't remember how it happened.
Blood filled up the clawfoot bath and
I will fear no frontier.
I don't remember how it happened.
Blood filled up the clawfoot bath and
I will fear no frontier.
Billy, come home.
And Billy's no punk.
Daddy come home.
And Daddy's on junk.
Videotape, a fisherman's knot.
Filling the tub and waiting for God.
There was sadness in the water too.
Wonder who will find me.
Small stone in the quarry.
No one ever told me the end of the story.
**
Idaho alien,
Idaho alien,
Idaho alien,
don't cry.
Idaho alien,
Idaho alien,
Idaho alien,
goodbye.

#YouthLagoon #IdahoAlien #FatPossum
this band changed my life when i was 16. year of hibernation was such a formative album for me - and everything else felt like the soundtrack of growing up. i'm so excited for this record.
right there with you :')
@@AlexGeerken hahah fancy seeing you here bro.
Same. The first two album are inspiring!
It's a one man band my friend :)
@@svengali5862 one of the reasons i say band is because seeing YL live really was important to me as a teenager. all elements of their live production are incredible, though I know it's basically just Trevor's project.
Ima 61 year old woman who simply recognizes great music gratefully. Thank you.
Youth Lagoon is back
When I was 5 years old my dad chased me out of the house trying to whip me for yelling after my bully older brother pushed me down. I was so afraid I hid behind a door in the garage and watched while they looked for me. I stayed hidden for a long time. I finally went back inside after they had forgotten(?) about me. The last time my dad whipped me with a belt I was 17. Again the cause was my older brother. After daddy took out his frustrations on me I grabbed the keys to the family car and took off. When I went back an hour later I told him if he ever hit me again I would call the police. He just laughed at me. He was a deacon in our local church who had had a “born again” experience about the time I was 5.
I just heard this song yesterday. I have listened to it over and over. I've been humming it. It has made me sad. It has made me happy. All you can ask of a song. Make you feel something.
that vox in the beginning is heaven wrapped inside my scalp
I love putting this song on repeat as I cook dinner while drinking wine. Ugh. Then the wine-drunk kicks in after half the bottle does down the hatch and I'm gone.
I never thought I’d see the day
This is the mood when nobody understands your pain 😢
As a fellow musician who grew up in Idaho - I have some true, mad respect for you Trevor. "Idaho Alien" is so relatable and I'm beyond stoked to see new releases coming.
It's really relatable for us Idahoans. Growing up artsy in Idaho makes you an alien, and going elsewhere, sometimes, you feel like an alien as a person who grew up here.
he’s back!!!!!!
01:53. That section of the track is unbelievable. Entirely unique lyric and delivery.
I was able to talk to Trevor after a show he played when he was doing his solo music and told him how much his music had helped me during some really sad parts of my life and has helped enrich me during happy times. This music helped heal me. I really am glad he is back. All love to this man ❤❤
hey if you like Youth Lagoon you'll probably like The Doublejumps. its a band from new zealand
this song is fucking awesome. i feel like it's a perfect combination of each of the other records - nostalgia of YOH, experimental atmospheric vibe of wondrous bughouse and a bit of the theatrics of savage hills ballroom. one thing is for sure, any YL song will be a storytelling masterpiece.
It’s been a long time,
Lagoon bro 😢
I’m in tear with the greatest come back
February was a bad month for me before this dropped. Thanks, Youth Lagoon!
Trevor is seriously talented. Composition, tune....omg.
I remember the first time I heard July when it came out and then seeing you play at the Blue Note in Columbia, Missouri before the release of Year of Hibernation. This song is fantastic and I'm so glad you're making music again. Your music has had a huge impact on my life and I'll forever be a fan.
In thin lizzy “the boys are back in town “ Voice. The boys are back in town.
I feel like his vocals are stronger than ever. Mankind itself is better off now that YL and Tyler T Willams are making music and Videos!! This is Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!.
My best discovery in 23... thanks YL you are amazing guy, love your job... BEAUTY...
This album is so beautiful.

You're a big hero in my life Trevor. I'm extremely grateful to be able to hear your music.
We missed you, T. Gorgeous piece.
Tyler T did it again.
Tyler did a great job in filming Trevor’s comeback, welcome back fellas, you were missed
This song is my go to when I feel a panic attack coming on. It brings me back down to earth. Can't get enough of this dudes music
I don't know when I first discovered this but I'm so glad past me saved it
Already a masterpiece
I am so happy you’re back under the Youth Lagoon name!! This is so great and I’m really looking forward to the album!
CANT WAIT FOR JUNE 9
The best live show I ever saw was Youth Lagoon play at the Reef for treefort launch party. He has something about him. Quiet confidence
This song and video are hitting me, bullseye, right in the feels. Thank you Trevor.
You've got so much talent. In a perfect world these tunes keep coming forever.
He’s back! Lovely.
Thanks Trevor. Your music means a lot to me - takes me far into the unknown but it's more comforting than anywhere else.
I swear not even like 2 months ago, actual literal tears were coming from my face because it wasn’t looking like anything new would ever come of this project, it was done and Trevor had moved on. I was mostly broken about the fact I had the chance to see YL live years ago in Boise and wasn’t able to go.
Seeing an event for a concert pop up on my Facebook yesterday made me cry again but this time for much happier reasons. I love this song so much and especially as someone who was born and raised in Boise (moved a few years back), and depressed my entire life , this song hits real good.
Im so damn excited for October and to get tickets for Seattle 🥹
The evolution of your music is amazing. Each time the music won’t let me go
This song is so freaking good Trevor!!! Thanks man!! - Fan since 2011
This is true beauty! I Love it! Thank you for this gift today.
So glad you comeback with Youth Lagoon project !
We'all really miss your talent.
Dazzling song. Wonderful video. The sequences looking straight into camera in the water are mesmerizing.
A stunning return. From the first few bars you could tell. Wonderful x
I love this new song! Youth Lagoon has been Such a huge part of my families life. I Never thought I would get to see them play live! Sooooooo excited!!
Wow, YL return is the best thing of this year. Feels like a dream come true.
Great song!!
OH MY GOD, new Youth Lagoon album, oh my gosh oh gosh!
The NPR article brought me here. Inspiring interview and beautiful music! Peace and Love.

My evil, that was damn good!
This very song have been played in a random bulk shop, in Montréal, Québec, while the first magnificient sunny and warm day of march, ; today exactly.
They always have had songs from an other planet. And I am a HUGE addict of this kind of discoveries, everyday!
Man, I LOVE you. You're my best band for ever. Even your videoclips are so studied and well done. So right. So beautiful! I was astonished.
Congrats guys.
Bests from Montréal.
So glad to have more youth lagoon ❤️
One of the most keeping secret in the music industry! Must to be know more! Thanks to be back with this masterpiece!
This song has some " year of hibernation album " vibe and I love it !
Love this song! Thank you!
So good to have you back!
This song has randomly been in my head a lot.
it's beautiful the way you heal from your past with your inner child. thank you for sharing something so personal. much love
Really beautiful song. Thanks
He's back! This so so good.
Wonderful.
Good stuff! It's good to see you releasing some great new material
this song is beyond amazing
Incredible song and great to see this artist back with a modern twist. The backing, beat and loops are totally complimental. The 'Year of Hibernation' was totally genre breaking and had a great calmness across all the tracks on the album. Very rare I can buy an album which I can listen all the way through, so totally looking forward to a new album. I'd love to be able to play these songs on my food channel. Keep up the great work. James
Glad to see you back 😊
I could not be happier that this is happening
That sunset was beautiful
This is such a rad song. Thanks Trevor. This made my day. I’m a YL die hard. Bravo. Lots of us in Missoula, MT hoping you’ll play for us again. ❤
Hey Jerod, you have an awesome profile pic ❤ as Kyiv-based Ukrainian I want to thank you for supporting Ukraine
I saw them live in AZ on the tour right before they broke up. Can’t believe this is what I see this morning 🥲
Beautiful lyrics and delivery
Idaho will always be home
Amazing song
beautiful:')
there are no words
Amazing comeback, honest all the way trough, shit made me cry. Best to you Trevor!

Me alegra saber que la banda se junto de nuevo. No es lo mismo escuchar a Trevor en solista qué en conjunto, Youth Lagoon como grupo hace grandes composiciones musicales, cada disco es excelente y con su propia escencia.
The bit of Idaho I saw was awesome. From Lewiston to Lolo Hot Springs on Highway 12, in April. Very cold, very snowy, and a bit scarey, if Im honest. 2 Brits driving across America for the first time. Boy, were we glad to hit Missoula.

My most listened to song on Spotify in 2023. Still waiting to escape from a place I know I don't belong.
so good!
Masterpiece, Trevor. Masterpiece.

A Masterpiece ❤

Awesome song Trevor, welcome back! Come to PDX!!

so excited for the return of youth lagoon, though capricorn was and is a really stellar record.
43. Not Born in Idaho. How i like these sounds make me an alien.
Truly great

I found this 1 on spotify & searched on yt , how come this song have less views. This is good
this is rad
I never really loved youth lagoon but I remember 10 years ago in high school that the first two albums really blew me away the second album is an amazing psychedelic rock album honestly
Wondrous bughouse is one of my favorite modern albums
❤
Trevor this is beautiful
