I found your music through my sons things cleaning up his apartment after he passed away from a tragic accident June 19th 2022. Only 26 years old. My son struggled most his life with social anxiety and went throughout high school being bullied. He later found friends in the most unconventional places. He never judged ppl. Just let them be, he eventually found purpose helping those who struggle, help find a place to sleep or eat., furniture make doctors appointments. He volunteered at a place that would let homeless shower and do laundry..
I haven’t stop listening to X ambassadors since he passed..I see my sons life through these songs, I resinate greatly, he had a burned cd in his player.. (old school I know) warned my heart actually. I gave it to his 8 yr old son, my grandson who plays it regularly. I get super emotional listening sometimes. My Child, Renegades (my son skateboarding every night down our street)
This one No Strings hits hard. He just wanted to be who he was, no strings. Love my and miss my loving child Nathan so much. His Birthday is April 5th. Your album release date. I found that special.
Thank you for the music. Forever my ❤
I am so sorry for your loss. xo
@starlight7041 I am sorry for the loss of your young son. I hope you won't take this as a criticism, but you said he just wanted to be who he was, no strings. I didn't know him but reading your post, it sounds to me like that is exactly what he did! How amazing. Even in his short 26 years he likely made more of a difference to the people who needed (I do mean the ones that actually NEEDED some help) someone that actually still gives enough of a f about another human being to make it his mission to put aside his own daily life long enough to help someone else. Because HE wanted to. I think that is living. He"leaves behind" you and his child, unnamed/unknown others, and a refusal to live as a victim mentality) It's Wonder full that your grandson is with you, not being raised by ???? There has been so much loss in these past 2 years (I am 54years old myself, never considered my life would be as it is now but I'm not posting for this to be about me. I do know about "loss" of loved ones. Just putting this part of my comment For the "keyboard critics and bots". Conversation? Yes please. Arguments? Not here! ) Wishing you peace, strength and good memories~
I wish more people seen this ❤
I'm sorry for your loss but am happy you found a light in a pitch black room
am sorry for your lose💔. Your son was an amazing person from what l just heard♥️. May his soul rest in peace.
one month later still thinking of your son. rest in peace
"No Strings"
No strings to hold me down
Feeling so high
We don't need wings
To fly
No strings to hold me now
It's just me and you tonight
We don't need wings
To fly
Meet me at the Thurston Ave bridge
Sit around and watch the rich kids
Wonder how they got what they got
Dad was gone and mom had four jobs
Told me you were sick of living here
All you wanna do is disappear
Watched you as you stared over the edge
Stick-and-poke tattoos on your wrist
We don't care what anybody thinks of us
Living dangerous
Living reckless
We don't care what anybody thinks of us
Just some wanderers
Never high enough, oh
No strings to hold me down
Feeling so high
We don't need wings
To fly
No strings to hold me now
It's just me and you tonight
We don't need wings
To fly
We don't need wings
To fly
We don't need wings
To fly
Parties in an old abandoned house
Skateboarding under grey clouds
Swore to God that I would make it out
Couple of us went a different route
This town will suffocate ya
First they love ya, then they break ya
Driving 95 on 88
Never going back upstate
We don't care what anybody thinks of us
Living dangerous
Living reckless
We don't care what anybody thinks of us
Just some wanderers
Never high enough, oh
No strings to hold me down
Feeling so high
We don't need wings
To fly
No strings to hold me now
It's just me and you tonight
We don't need wings
To fly
We don't need wings
To fly
We don't need wings
To fly
We don't need, we don't need, we don't need
We don't need, we don't need, we don't need
Awesome thanks
appreciate
Its so crazy just seeing Ithaca through the view of this video. Ive lived here my whole life and i feel so much comfort in your music. The way you paint the picture of this town through words is exactly how it is
Which town is it? Is it somewhere in upstate New York?
Omg.... when I read your comment my eyes skipped over the word 'Ithaca.' Without even seeing it's Ithaca, somehow I just new it was rural New York. Hm. I've never been to New York (City or upstate). I think the closest I've ever been to NYC or NY State is Washington DC/Maryland. I've been a lot of places in the western US, but not so many in the east. I might have to change that! #LifelongMinnesotan
It's his Hometown and my hometown as well. So yeah! Ithaca, New York
My town too. I-town
Mine too. It's kinda surreal to see it in a music video.
Another banger. X ambassadors is my favorite band of all time.
how is this a "banger" its chill song hahahahha
@@bvonm9557the term “banger” can mean multiple things, in this situation he is saying another good song
My favorite band ever. I’m sooo excited to see you guys live. Met Sam at his solo show and he’s the coolest nicest dude
I swear this group never lets you down. This is a jam!!!!! Come back to Albuquerque.
i will work on a song with X Ambassadors one day, speaking it into existence 🙏🏼
Then go do that
You've got this
@@rex.2053 thank you!
@@your_moms_house110 i will
What a Piece of art from X Ambassadors 🔥can't wait to see it lively performed ❤️
Absolutely love it ! X Ambassadors always ❤
I lived in Newport News nearly most of my life. Until 2019.since 91 when i was born. I was never a fan of my town until I moved to Hampton. After Dealing with my dad for so long. And just tension with him. My mom was Always the caring one. Who help find the best Living situation for me When I moved to Hampton, I definitely found my Hometown. I still have a good relationship with my mom and stepdad. But me and my biological dad have split ways. I feel more freedom than ever in my 30s. I feel like now I can live life with no strings attached. This song is now the anthem of my 30s. Very happy to have gained my freedom
One more time X Ambassadors keep proving that their talent evolves while keeping the special thing that makes them so unique! This song as the first one from their new album TOWNIE and it’s a perfect way to introduce it! It feels like a breath of fresh air and takes me to fly! Just what I needed on my life! I can’t wait for the new album! ILYSM guys!! STREAM NO STRINGS!! AAAAAH! 🔥👏🏼😩🇲🇽
Holaa tenemos un grupo de fans latinos
Great song! Townie is a great album. I just seen them perform in Pittsburgh, PA. Awesome seeing them Live! Great Show!
I was so excited to hear something new from you guys! Beautiful, natural storytellers. I would love to be in the room and be a part of creating the magic that you create.
CZcams algorithm has hit the nail on the head with this one. Hardly every find a song that gets me singing with it first time. Love it, loved it, LOVED IT!
Sam's ethereal vocals sounds so pleasing to listen!🔥
You are one of my most favourite bands! Keep releasing bangers like this!🦋❤️
Aha aha you so 🍑
I couldn't sleep last night, waiting for the release 😄
A new song for the playlist.
X ambassador
Never disappoints. 🔥 🚒
What a song!! What a band! Love you guys so much. And cannot wait to see you again soon in London!! ❤
Literally been binge listening to all the songs and not one bad song at all! I'm literally obsessed and cannot stop listening. Your music has shifted my soul.
Every song a strong story and every song holds a place in our hearts.
Please keep making art. The world is better off with it. ❤
No Strings was a masterpiece I'm glad y'all made it
Ангелина❤❤❤я пленен и очарован, ненаглядная, тобой! Я навек к тебе прикован, цепью страсти роковой!)❤
❤❤❤
Esperé mucho para esta canción, Valió totalmente la pena la espera. Masterpiece. 🇲🇽🇲🇽
This was recommended I didn’t need to search for it.
I first heard that song live in Amsterdam and i love it! 👌
To whoever is listening to this song now, wherever you are.... Sending you love, peace, healing and all good wishes. May your life be good❤
Que preciosa canción,y que grupo más autentico❤
Till the day I don’t breathe no more I gonna miss this band.
It's funny watching the video because I also grew up in Ithaca
Same, I spent the whole video going: "oh, I know where that is, and that, and that..."
Greetings from Lithuania, the concert was unreal!
What a beautiful love letter to Ithaca and Ithacans. Thanks boys.
Why tf he's so underratted??
People don’t understand how much he works to keep his listeners happy and vibing. Even when he made Torches, Unsteady, and Hold You Down some of the best songs that carries a more personal message.
Cause all of his music is depressing
Underrated? Pop music with 1.35 mil subs? Is it BAD?
He doesn't
Not all of his music is depressing
The singer is conveying a feeling of liberation and freedom, fueled by a sense of rebellion and disregard for societal expectations. Here's a breakdown of the key themes:
Breaking free:
The recurring line "No strings to hold me down" emphasizes the singer's desire to escape constraints and limitations.
The verses depict a yearning to leave behind a stifling environment ("This town will suffocate ya") and forge their own path.
The bridge reinforces this with "We don't need wings to fly," suggesting they can achieve freedom without external help.
Reckless abandon:
The lyrics mention "living dangerous" and "living reckless," highlighting a willingness to take risks and challenge the status quo.
The imagery of "parties in an old abandoned house" and "skateboarding under grey clouds" reinforces this carefree and rebellious spirit.
The line "We don't care what anybody thinks of us" emphasizes their independence and disregard for judgment.
Shared experience:
The chorus repeatedly mentions "you," suggesting the singer finds this freedom even more exhilarating when shared with someone else.
The line "It's just me and you tonight" emphasizes the intimacy and shared adventure they experience together.
The verses depict shared activities like watching rich kids and escaping their hometown, reinforcing their bond.
Overall, the song paints a picture of two young people yearning for freedom and embracing a rebellious spirit. They find this liberation not through external means like wings, but through their own choices, shared experiences, and disregard for societal constraints.
I'm so resonating with your lyrics wonderful song thank you❤

Почему качественную музыку так мало кто ценит... Огонь 🔥
My hometown!! Much love
‘Driving 95 on 88, never going back upstate’. What a random perfect lyric that would mean little to most, but meant everything to me.
Wow, new subscriber in the house…. This song was so refreshing.
If this isn't billboard top soon enough then billboard is bs.
One of the greatest bands of the modern age!
Got to meet them a few years ago at Bogarts in Cincinnati. Best concert I’ve ever been to.
Vocês nunca decepcionam, sério. Que arte esse álbum está sendo ❤

Loved the change of sound they had with The Beautiful Liar, but this is definitely giving me Love Songs, Drug Songs/VHS vibes again! Seen them live twice (2nd was after the world opened back up and we needed it the most) and can't wait for the 3rd.
