about this song
“Diane Young” seems to be the “fun” song (about death) on "Modern Vampires Of The City", an album full of death. The title, “Diane Young”, is a play on words of “dying young.” You could say they’re burning the old preppy incarnation of the band given the visual referent to Godard’s Week End, the inspiration for the “Mansard Roof” and “Oxford Comma” videos. It is about youth revolutionaries in 1968 France in a time who act out because nothing, not even money, can resolve their drift and unrest.
