"You Got Spirit, Kid" is a song by American progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria, released from their eighth studio album The Color Before the Sun on July 10, 2015.
[6] Murjani Rawls of Mind Equals Blown described the song as "particularly upbeat, even going into a pop realm."
Rawls discussed how it reflects on how young people feel these days, adding ""You Got Spirit, Kid" brings back a little bit of older Coheed with a new concept that it’s entirely personal.
With our love for '80s Nostalgia, we decided to approach the treatment in a John Hughes or Steven Spielberg type fashion, allowing the spirit of youth and camaraderie to shine in each frame.
"[9] Timothy Gabriele at PopMatters was critical of the video, stating "it's creepy that these old musicians pretending to be guys too old for high school are making music specifically aimed at teenagers, baiting them with foul-mouthed takes on riffs that seem to lift straight from the Warrant handbook.
