Song Meaning of “News” by Young Jesus
“News” by Young Jesus is a deeply personal song that reflects on the pain of a past relationship and the feeling of being stuck in a longing for something that can never be. It speaks to the idea that the person in the relationship can no longer attempt to fix what’s wrong and that any efforts to bring the relationship back to its former glory can no longer happen. The narrator of the song seems to be stuck in a limbo of sorts, observing the news and changes in the world around them while they can’t accept that they can’t make things right with the person they care for. The chorus of the song speaks of hope, saying “keep your head up” and “new days come”, hoping to bring comfort to the listener and remind them that while things may never be the same, it’s still possible to find joy in the future.
