When I was little, when the band Years And Years emerged, I thought that the radio said that they were playing a song from 'years and years [ago]'. Being a kid who only liked new songs, I would switch over whenever they'd play. When I heard 'King' on the radio regularly though, I was surprised because I thought it was an old song.
