Peter Bjorn and John - Young Folks

Published: Sept. 21, 2016, 5:11 p.m.

In 2006, Swedish trio Peter Bjorn and John released their third album, Writer\u2019s Block. For months and months after that, it felt like you couldn\u2019t go anywhere without hearing the first single from that album, "Young Folks." It was on top 10 lists for song of the year in places like Pitchfork and NME. It\u2019s been covered by James Blunt, and remixed by Kanye West, along with countless other versions out there. Now, ten years later, Peter Bjorn and John break down the song and how it all came together, and how it almost didn\u2019t come together at all.
