The band consists of Charles McSorley (lead vocals), Jack Winn (guitar, vocals), Jake Lees (bass, vocals), Billy Fielding (drums, backing vocals), and Sam Malynowsky (keyboards), all good friends for years. Asked about their inspirations, Fling's frontman McSorley answers "I think we all share the love of the classics, pretty much any Beatles, The Clash, David Bowie, The Sex Pistols, The Kinks, Oasis and other such artists’ albums constantly inspire us and will do forever I think. Just all the good stuff basically." So far, Fling are something of a British pearl sprawling onto the musical scene, with continuous local gigs around Bradford, festival appearances and 6 (as of March 4th, 2018) singles available via streaming devices. Their latest track, "Banjo Billy", debuted worldwide on March 2nd, 2018. Official Facebook page: facebook.com/flingordie

There's a light shining on us
It's alive and young
There's a life losing their fun
We're all in love
Reaching the sun
Driving in your car
Never want to go home
Running to your stars
Never want to be done
Breathing alive
Hope there's a light
That we see the sun
Never ever want to be done
Never want to go home
Light we see
It never goes out
Love for life
It only comes and goes away
Away away away
Away away away
There's a night that never ends
It's alive and young
There's a time we were in love
It is not far
We're heading new
Driving in your car
Never want to go home
Running to your stars
Never want to be done
Breathing alive
Hope there's a night
That we see the sun
Never ever want to be done
Never want to go home
Light we see
It never goes out
Love for life
It only comes and goes away
Away away away
Away away
The lyrics of Fling's song "Alive Young" are a reflection of the feelings of being young, free, and in love. The opening lines, "There's a light shining on us, It's alive and young," seem to suggest that the light refers to the vigor and energy of youth, which is very much present and alive. The song discusses the thrill of being in love, captured in the line "We're all in love, reaching the sun." The lyrics then touch on the desire to stay in those joyful moments and not to return back home, as highlighted with the lines, "Driving in your car, never want to go home, running to your stars, never want to be done."
The song also reflects on the transience of love and how some of the magic of youth fades with time. The chorus of the song emphasizes this, "Love for life, it only comes and goes away, away, away." The lyrics in the song establish the vitality and carefree nature of youth, as well as the realization that it can all vanish too quickly. The song concludes with the lines "Light we see, it never goes out, love for life, it only comes and goes away." These lines could be viewed as a reminder that although youth and love may fade and end with time, it continues to live on, and one can relive those special moments by cherishing memories and holding onto the light emanating from the experiences.
There's a light shining on us
We are experiencing something joyful and inspiring
It's alive and young
The experience is fresh and full of life
There's a life losing their fun
Others are not having as much fun as we are
We're all in love
We are experiencing love and happiness
Reaching the sun
We are striving for greatness and fulfillment
Driving in your car
We are free and exploring the world
Never want to go home
We want to make the most of our time and not be confined
Running to your stars
We are pursuing our dreams and aspirations
Never want to be done
We want to keep going and experiencing
Breathing alive
We are fully present and living in the moment
Hope there's a light
We have faith that there will always be good in the world
That we see the sun
That we will be able to experience warmth and happiness
Light we see
We can always find the good in the world
It never goes out
The good in the world will always exist
Love for life
We have a deep appreciation and passion for life itself
It only comes and goes away
We recognize that joy and love can be fleeting, but we still cherish those moments
There's a night that never ends
We can experience darkness and struggle
It's alive and young
However, those experiences can also be full of life and potential
There's a time we were in love
We can remember past moments of great happiness
It is not far
We can still find happiness in the present
We're heading new
We are moving forward and trying new things
Away away away
We are free of constraints and expectations
