The Boy in the Yellow Sweater… You Won’t See This Twist Coming

Yellow Sweater by iRL4ND is an original song inspired by the 2024 Danish short film HOLD KÆFT (SHUT UP), written and directed by Rune Enigma.

This video features edited clips from the film, paired with the song’s emotional narrative.

The film follows a young boy struggling with involuntary outbursts and the shame, confusion, and isolation that follow him everywhere — symbolized in the song as “the boy in the yellow sweater.”

Through honest storytelling and raw imagery, both the film and the song explore themes of identity, misunderstood behavior, faith, and the search for a voice that feels truly one’s own.

Yellow Sweater was written by Irlan, engineered by Rian, and includes a sample from Leo (Schrödinger’s Mice).

The song reflects the emotional weight of the short film while offering a hopeful message about expression, fear, and finding light through music.
