“’The Thrill’ is about the chase – the inescapable human nature we all feel to run after something outside of ourselves to find what we’re looking for. In this video, the band is testing out “society’s norm” of what is “thrilling and adventurous.” But, as the narrator says at the beginning of the video, “Yam Haus experiences “the thrill” during every performance, even when they only sell one ticket to their manager.” Meaning, Yam Haus’ thrill doesn’t have to align with what everyone else’s thrill is.

If you pay close attention, you’ll notice how not thrilled the band actually is on those rides, robotic almost. Throughout the video, we see the band on a variety of amusement park rides: The rollercoaster, the sky-high swings, the old-fashioned cars. These lyrics add to the idea behind “The Thrill” everyone is searching for something different, something real, but how do we get to it?

The first verse, “Can you feel it in me / I can feel it in you / we get down to the rhythm of a Saturday night / but we don’t know what to do,” sings Lars Pruitt, the band’s frontman.
