Time To Pretend is one of those songs that you'd vibe to as a child, only to realise how accurate the lyrics are as an adult. Never ever allow this song to die out people x
Seriously and it’s so sad having a mixed bag of a childhood. It really makes you wanna hold onto what you did have as a kid. And if this song is nostalgic for anyone then I would say forgetting then coming back to this song can teach you a lot of things especially the song “kids” it’s like a close friend telling you it’s ok to grow up don’t indulge in being a kid or you’ll loose who your meant to be.
@@stillnic scarily true even for a 20 year old moving out. Life is honestly a gut punch sometimes in the best of ways it’s very unexplainable and idk if I’m comfortable with that but I guess we don’t have a choice
did you know, their song is. initially just created to mock pop song lmao, that is why they created the most catchy tune imaginable and the laziest music clip ever
My sister had a boyfriend who died when he was only 17. He loved this song, and he really did struggle with heroin. I only knew him for a short time, but he was the biggest impact on my life. He lived fast and young. He was so wise and chill. Almost like nothing bothered him but I know that everything did. I was only 13. I saw him dead… my sister was trying to revive him and his body regurgitated… that almost last line “we’ll choke on our vomit and that will be the end.”… that shit gets me. I’m 26 now, I miss you and I wish I could have seen you now older than me, and even wiser…
I had a friend like this. Suffered a lot from existencial crisis, as I do. But she couldn't take it, life was too absurd and too much for her. She was the most beautiful soul, bright and very smart. Took her life 2 years ago.
I’m sorry for your sisters loss. Thank you for sharing. This hits too close to home, I used to be addicted to fentanyl and I OD’d 4 years ago and got resuscitated with cpr by my brother and father. I Hope he finally found peace wherever he may be in the next existence…
Your mom bought you CD written 'MGMT' that is indie-psyche band and not totally child or teen-popular music (and with sex/drug/adult theme) Doubt but cool if it really happen
There is so much truth in this song , I'm 52 and i'd give anything to go back to being a kid again. Life certainly hasn't gone the way I thought it would.
I used to say I'd give anything to go back to my childhood. I still miss it very much, but if I had the option today, I'd not go back. I would not risk living a different timeline and never meeting my wife. All that time I'd win back would not be worth it.
"Life can always start anew." It's never too late to turn things around my friend. You are an important person in this world and in someone's life. Buena suerte and God Bless You.
@maxobino2753 exact same here with mine. We'll be officially together for 20 years on the 27th of November this year, 2024. Less than a week away from the time of writing this comment. We're both 37 with 1 beautiful baby girl and another baby on the way. This life is wonderful and while there are things I miss from my youth, I would never give up this timeline and risk missing her. There were so many pieces that had to fall in place for us to meet and end up in love. No way I'd risk that either. We're the lucky few, the ones who found our soulmates. I truly sympathize with those living a bad timeline and not getting to be with their other half.
I feel the same way, despite being 21. Even in tragedy, God's will is just. I realize that even though my life didnt turn out how I thought it would, it turned out ok. I've had amazing experiences and gained friends I'd die for. Love, peace🙏💮❤
“I’m feeling rough, I’m feeling raw, I’m in the prime of my life” is the lyric that’s always stood out to me since I was 14. Now I’m 23 and it hits even harder as i feel I’m actually in the prime of my life, and I’m scared for it to be over. It’s going by so fast. Edit for the replies: I don’t feel I’m in the prime of my life because of my age, but because of where I’m actually at in life. The memories I’m making with friends and family and what I’m doing. Not scared of getting older, just feeling bittersweet about time passing. Thanks for all the sweet comments though.
I’ve always felt that way too, but I’m currently 33 and can say I’m way happier in life now than I ever was in my 20s. I’m physically, mentally, and financially stronger than I’ve ever been, and appreciate life a lot more now. Try not to fear getting older. Embrace it and continue learning and working on bettering yourself every day.
Only now at 36 I am able to say I’m living in my prime in all aspects. I used to worry like you do, but getting older is actually nice when you work to keep yourself healthy and nurture your relationships.
This has to be the BEST indie song EVER. It’s so iconic, the melody is so fresh it feels recent, the lyrics are captivating, I’ve been listening to this song since 2008, I can never get tired of it. Such a great piece
I don't find it sad.. especially after the video. When your tearing raw meat up like a caveman. And riding on the back of a flying cat.. I just get more curious and disturbed.
As a kid this sounded like an anthem, as an adult this sounds depressing like someone singing about how bad life is and they're caught between two bleak choices, not knowing the billion other options out there of they just wait to grow and look around. So cool revisiting this and seeing how my take on it changed
@@grg537Not nowadays because look how kids are. They know nothing passed cell phones, tablets and computers that's it. And having an arrogant attitude. 🤔🧐
I love how this song goes from rock star hedonism to nostalgia for their youth, family, home and things they are missing out on as they do drugs & get famous. It is a weirdly emotional song for me! I'll miss the comfort of my mother And the weight of the world I'll miss my sister, miss my father, Miss my dog and my home Yeah, I'll miss the boredom And the freedom and the time spent alone
Kiroz92 this is psychadelic indie though, difference. You might as well say 'psychadelic' means creative these days, cause musicians in this decade are too stupid to be creative without lsd. back then it just put an edge on the great artists that didn't necessarily NEED it.
it gives me a massive boner when people talk shit about me. i'm into getting my balls kicked and shit. keep telling me how retarded i am as i jack off my meat
This song will always be relevant because no matter who you are, this song instantly transports you to a specific time and place in your life when you felt most alive. Truly inspiring. Thanks MGMT.
I don’t think a lot of people realise just how good MGMT are and especially this song. At the tender age of 51 I love it. It’s simply about youth and your dreams. It truly is a masterclass of a song.
I'm 25 but this band grabbed me. It was no surprise when when Bono, Paul McCartney, Iggy Pop, and Lou Reed all said they are also fans. Check out "So Many Days" a song Andrew made when he was 16. Its clear this dude is a musical genius.
Wow, I’ve just turned 50, NEVER. Heard of these guys, but a good friend turned me here. It’s a catchy tune, doesn’t remind me of my youth, but good to jam on!
This song was my brother’s favorite, he died not too long after it was released from an accidental overdose at 21. I always think of him when listening to it. It’s like the song was made for him, right down to the lyrics. 😢
@@ahzsknifethrowingchannel8182 It's probably because it's nostalgic as fuck and reminds us of moments we never had experienced in a long time such as having the energy as kids and teenagers, so now this song is sad to listen to since its a reflection of the better times we can never have again.
One day after being depressed for a very long time i went out to my friend’s house for a party there , and in years i never felt that happy , we had so much fun , and in the middle of the party i got out to smell some fresh air and I laid down on a trampoline and played this song on my phone , then it started raining and I cried of happiness and the tears got mixed with the rain drops , every time i play this song i get shivers remembering that beautiful moment.
Lost my boy before his birthday. He put me on with this song. May he rest in peace and this song blast into the cosmos forever like his sole. RIP Brother
I remember listening to this song in 2014 when I was 12 years old, hearing the lyrics "I miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog, and my home" and how I still have all of those at that moment, and slowly but surely they're all leaving. November 2017 is when my dad moved out and we don't see each other that much now, May 2020 is when my sister moved out December 2020 is when we had our dog put down because of the tumours and the amount of pain she was in August 2021 is when I'll be moving out of my mom's place, out of my room that I've had for the last 19 years. My sister, my father, my dog and my home, the only remaining one of these will be gone in less than a month. Sometimes it hurts to grow up..
Hey man good luck out there I’m a sophomore in hs and times going by fast and not really looking forward to it but music like this helps me for some weird reason prepare for it but good luck man I’m sorry about all that and may God be with you
Yeah I live alone and it can suck at times. My parents do live close by to me, and by close, I mean we're on the same street. But it does suck to grow up, have a job, and stay away from your family 😞 Please keep moving forward though. "I'm praying for the rest of your lifetime to be peaceful". Something my co-worker said to me 🤣 good luck brotha!
Well we don’t get to keep our pets in the spiritual world so yeah I’m gonna miss them too. Apparently our soulmate is there in the afterlife but that’s not blood fam I spose. Apparently you don’t even remember it though and personally I’m looking forward to another trip around the sun on earth school. Just gotta make sure I don’t accidentally fall into this marrying someone cos they’re a hot looking person for everyone else trap n I might break my curse and not even need to come back after all 😜 Something tells me the reason we do tho is because life after earth is too perfect and boring, I think we like it this way guys
TBH i feel the same. With the government selling yellow cake, killing us with taco bowl engagement and airdropping supplies to ISIS, wtf are we gonna do but pretend we are free? I have money, a loving wife and awesome kid but I feel like I let them down because I am powerless against the tyranny from ALL of our leadership. I do not wonder why so many people commit suicide. When nothing but nothing seems possible, nothing wins. Peace.
To me this song is about how you're fated to pretend to enjoy your lifestyle regardless of the path you take in life. In the song, there's a fantasy of rejecting a traditional path in life that is "boring", and deciding to live like a rock-star: partying, doing drugs, dating models, etc. However, you'll still miss your family, your time alone, having meaningful relationships, etc. You're fated to pretend to enjoy it to be happy, even if you may wish something else.
That’s an awesome view. I always thought that you’re fated to pretend to be civilized. For a lack of better words. You pretend to be professional and go through life using technology while ignoring primal instincts to enjoy things like sex, drugs and nature. I can’t really put it into words but it reminds me that humans are animals. That our primal instincts and animosity are just apart of us and that participating in society is mostly pretending to be civilized. Again, for lack of better words
I have a micro penis, but And if we think even further, all this video is about pretending. That’s why it looks “fake”. Everything Andrew and Ben do in this video is not real.
I’m 50, and I love this song. Every 7 years or so, I’ve had to say goodbye to a life chapter. This song embodies an earlier one. Letting go of childhood, and grappling with gritty reality.
I hear ya. But I think you can overdo gritty reality. I’m not far off fifty but still tempted to dabble in “childhood” occasionally. Like right now, after watching that a few times, I wouldn’t say no to just half a tab, hehe…
Letting go of childhood sucks! The system of working 40 hour weeks is destructive to the human spirit. We're supposed to continue exploring the world and having fun as adults - that's why it's so difficult to let go.
@@HULK-HOGAN1 I completely agree. I think if you don’t hold on to some aspects of being a kid it would be like dying. You need to remember what that feels like, and how to access it. I spose if you have kids maybe you do it through them? But nah, that would suck coz they grow up and leave and then you’re just old. Yeah nah ya gotta stay young and in touch with the things that make you feel really alive. x
@@karenmcilvena4541 I guess that’s why older people often say they feel like they’re in their 20’s. My dad told me once how he loved walking through the toy sections again thanks to me being a child. I agree that we have to be strong and brave enough to continue being who we truly are
To me this song is about masking your pain with your lifestyle or success. On the surface, it looks you’re happy and living a life with no obstacles but deep down inside you know you are and aren’t happy. That’s why the instrumental sounds happy and upbeat but if you read the lyrics and listen to the singing you can sense the sadness. The way he sings it is in a sarcastic tone. Great song. “We’ll choke on our vomit and that will be the end.” Beautifully haunting.
I remember thinking unironically that the premise of this song was my life's goal. Ended up a hopeless drug addict with no prospects. Good song though.
growing up is weird for sure but definitely worth it. It's like a blooming flower under the sun compared to a seed in a dark bag. This song is a hymn of lost seeds. Have faith in yourself and push forward through anxiety, boredom, frustration, loneliness, depression and the rest. There's a good life hidden behind all of that, your good life. Ask for help, share your troubles. Family, friends, mentors, books, therapist, church - use everything you can to get through bullshit as fast as possible so you could spend the rest of your precious time in joy and love. It's worth it 100%. I'm sure, you'll figure it out if you choose to do so 😉 As the good song goes: "Take nothing less Than the supreme best. Do not obey to what people say, Cause you can pass the test. Just move on up..."
My throat and chest hurt listening to these lyrics, im 25 and I feel like I was promised the world, I was top of my class, a champion athlete, but now I'm sitting alone 30 miles away from my nearest friend, no car, no money, no job. My heart tears in two thinking about my school days, I feel like breaking down crying, I've hit a dead end in life and I just want to go back, I'd give anything I own to go back.
Me too the nostalgia of school days depresses me the most. I was in my final year of school and doing well in maths and then 6 years later I finished my masters degree in engineering only to realise that engineers basically get minimum wage here in the UK and it is impossible to get a job plus I hated the job
Heard this in 9th grade optimistic, full of life. I'm 27 now. I thought the future would be awesome. But the more it continues the more I cry inside how this world is turning out.
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home Yeah, I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone But there is really nothing, nothing we can do
I remember my friends and I were listening to this song in the car, coming back home from our university graduation party, and that night we all felt invincible. Those were some of the best years of my life, and I always go back into that car as this song plays
LYRICS I'm feelin' rough I'm feelin' raw I'm in the prime of my life Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars This is our decision to live fast and die young We've got the vision, now let's have some fun Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do? Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute? Forget about our mothers and our friends We were fated to pretend I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone But there is really nothing, nothing we can do Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew The models will have children, we'll get a divorce, We'll find some more models, everything must run its course We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end We were fated to pretend To pretend We were fated to pretend To pretend I said yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah
Same tho. Even tho I was like 8 years old when it came out. Although I don't really remember ever hearing it back then. But its still so damn nostalgic and sounds familiar
Same here mate. Other songs that do it for me are 'Post cards from Italy' by Beruit (can't listen to that without welling up) and most of the early stuff by The Strokes.
All mgmt songs get me so nostalic of a time where I always had my friends around me, people to rely on.. Now everyone's moved on to other countries and college and I've been feeling lost until recently.
Uchiha Madara ikr. The 2010’s are abt to end and it just makes me really sad that all of the good times will go away. Ik it won’t but the 2000’s and 2010’s was truly a time to be alive
I remember when I was 17 and taking acid for the first time, I went to a party with some older kids in my neighborhood and had a great experience on it, around 2 am I decided to walk home and I remember when I got to my bedroom I stumbled through the dark and managed to tun the tv on, and when the tv lit up I seen the mtv logo in the bottom of the corner and this music video had just started to play, at the time I didnt know the song or who mgmt was but I remember watching the video and it making total sense to me, that night changed my life and really opened my eyes to the world.
In the most cliche way possible I had an eye opening psychedelic experience that kicked into high gear when a friend turned this song on and I weeped while listening. This song always pulls at my heart in a way I'll never fully understand like I did on that day. Their foreshadowing of their own futures, the nature of the world we're confined to, the despair of growing up... I'm tearing up to this right now, and no matter how old I get will always "miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world."
@@machinegunbenchis it's such a weird emotion. Sad to leave but excited to start a new life. "Love must be forgotten, life can't always start up new" this line hits extra hard especially when I just got a girlfriend in my home town and knowing I'll have to move away far from her soon
I am 56, and always listen to a variety of music. I remember hearing this song, but didn't know who played and sang it. A post by a friend headed me to search for this. Enjoying it once more.
That whole part of the song hits hard. Especially when you relate to almost all of the words. It's honestly a little scary how on point this song is to my life and past life
These guys were born old souls. Like Casablancas. Crazy perspective for their age and lyrically brilliant. Sad and poignant and still addictively catchy. ❤️❤️
Thats nostalgia baby and the new feeling was a discovery along with the term itzelf ..for me anyway . The older i got the more o understood its definition and get this ,.. the feeling gets even MORE intense with age and with more reasons to trigger it too. Im 44 and i now feel nostalgia as often as i do the rest of the typical moods amd feelings we get . And it kind of satisfyingly sucks if tbat makes sense . I love memories but i hate the longing and realization of how ungrateful i can be with little things and moments we all take for granted .
I unironically love the way the trailer recontextualized it by cutting out all the questionable/negative parts of the song, rearranging the lyrics they kept, and putting it in the context of the minecraft world. Was actually a little disappointed after seeing the trailer and coming here to hear what the rest was like. The full song with it’s upbeat instrumentals is a subversion similar to songs like hey ya or pumped up kicks thats about the bleakness of life and pretending things are okay when they aren't, whereas the lines they use in the trailer match the tone of the instrumental (Which happens to match the style of newer minecraft in-game music really well), conveying the word as the innocent type of "pretend". Playing games, portraying characters, building our own worlds, make believe. And that you're free to embrace that at any age as an acceptable use of your time. "Now lets have some fun.. This is our decision, nothing we can do (almost sounds like "can't" given the context), we've got the vision. Now let's have some fun. Yeah yeah yeah.. We were fated to pretend." They effectively changed the meaning from growing up, missing that euphoric feeling that childhood innocence of play gave and chasing it with careless hedonism pretending you don't have problems and not caring about anything anymore to caring about what you want and that being valid, realizing that make believe isn't a waste of time and that childlike wonder and passion about these things can and should be experienced at any point in your life just like the message of the games ending poem, and honestly I like that interpretation a lot better.
It is one of the songs which should be in the category, it has a meaning, it could be nostalgic and you can get emotional out of all of them mixing together.
kubamax9 Kubowski I'm not that big on Your Life is a lie, I mean its a good track and I like it and listen to it a fair bit but I much prefer the other songs from the self titled like Alien Days and plenty of girls in the sea
Probably because it depicts the destruction of the current age and everything you love: mom, sis. home etc and the ushering in of the new age which according to the guide stones in georgia (american stonehenge) will eliminate 6.5 billion people leaving 500 million to inhabit the planet ... so u r not included and it makes u wanna cry.
Goddamn does anyone else get really sad listening to this song? Like make you super nostalgic about your childhood and feel as if life just sucks as an adult? "I miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone" how true
All the 12 year olds in the comments. In 20 years time when you've got a dull desk job, and a wife and two kids home, come back and listen to this. It's going to hit you in the feels.
my dad used to play this all the time when I was younger. Only now have I realised the meaning behind the lyrics and how much I “relate” to them. Thanks Dad for showing me all this good ass music
What a joy it was to be an adolescent in the 2010s. Music had a renovation phase and it almost felt like nothing mattered, therefore everything was welcomed. So refreshing to go back to the music we used to party to and that is almost forgotten.
My whole youth I was scared of anything and everything, the only times I wasn't scared was when I was 9 years old and when I was 21 years old... I have only one regret, do not let anyone else take your happiness, even if it pays!
This song reminds me of my older brother who passed in his sleep. I never got to say goodbye. Think of him when the verse “I’ll miss my sister......” Miss you everyday. Life is not the same without you and my biggest pain is that my kids will not have you in their lives growing up.
Hey i've been through the exact same shit... My sister died in her sleep when she was 15 and i was 11 at the time, now i'm 26. I'd like to say it gets better with time but i don't think it does, you just get used to it in a weird way. All my thoughts are with you and your family
After 8 years, I was finally offered, not just a job, but a position I actually love and dreamed about! Not everything is where it needs to be, but it is one more weight off of my shoulders. Keep y'all's chins up, you're almost there.
I can't believe it's been a decade already since this stuff came out. My God... At the time this came out, I was in college. My life revolved around friends and partying. That was it. Just pure fun and youthfulness. Now, I've got my own place, a full-time job, and I barely see any of those people anymore. Growing up is tragic. And you will always miss the freedom and naivety of your teens and early twenties... That said, there some major perks to being a fully functional adult so I would caution against getting too, too wrapped up in sappy nostalgia... Anyway, great fucking song.
You're right. Although I don't see how growing up is tragic as you said but definitely don't make some nostalgic sappy song takeover your life like isee alot of people do.
Catchy tune about hopelessness and addiction and probably thinking nobody would understand, so just going for it. Whatever it is. So sad that anyone would feel so overwhelmed that way. Mental health is so misunderstood and so widespread.
The fact that they made this song to make fun of pop songs, and it became one of the most popular songs ever says something. I don't know what, but it says something.
@@karenmcilvena4541 the concept of "death of the author" is something you may want to look into if you're struggling to understand why people derive different meanings from stuff
This song does something to me I don’t fully understand yet. Makes me feel like I’m processing some ancient energy and like I’m on the cusp of understanding some truth that would allow me to be unaffected by anything in life.
TheMetatron333 Mmkay but you’re not and you’re getting emotional about a song purposely written to be overplayed pop garbage. Enjoy the beat and chill out jeez
Been listening to em for years and I'm still obsessed with this song lol, every so often I'll listen to it again then get hooked on it haha. Also this video might just be the best music video ever made imo, everything about 'time to pretend' is just perfection.
I will never forget how it felt the first time I heard this song (myspace days, feels like eons ago). This song truly did hit like no other. The strange misty primordial sound at the beginning. The imposing opening notes and chords that soar as the song progresses. The dark heavy, yet easily accessible lyrics. The wonderfully catchy drum beat that makes this easy to dance to. The beautiful reverb and surrounding cacophony. Such a large sound. All emotions all at once, as others have said.
This song hits different when you realize the universe is slowly dying and everything will be annihilated but your individual time and ability to affect other living things and circumstances around you only exists right now, and to experience the universe is the rarest of cosmic gifts...
That, and when you realize hamburger contains absolutely no ham. Both of those realizations make you stop and really contemplate life and our existence.
I'm going down a rabbit hole of nostalgia. Nostalgia is such a powerful force within us, truly a bizarre feeling. Not necessarily happy or sad. A bit of longing to go back. I wish I could go back, just for a little, blaring these songs out of my car when I just got my driver's license and was in high school. Only things that mattered were finding out whose parents were going to be gone so we could party...girls...and your group of friends. Lol such a simple life, yet seemed so difficult to navigate at the time. I wish I could go back and give my teenage self so much advice.
Martinas Kaminskas i think you asked xmikex902x but i have an advice: do all (not the drugs :P) and don't think about it! time goes by and you only have one chance to make the best mistakes in your life :)
xmikex902x I'm old enough that this just seems like a couple years ago. Time compression as you age fucking SUCKS. There's probably a lesson or two to learn there.
Not only does this song make me nostalgic for childhood, but also for days with less technology. Your parents forced you to go outside, video games got boring after a couple hours, there was a real substance to life. Today just seems so much more empty
Leaving pandemic matters aside, it is not that different from those times. Statistics show technology has just replaced older technology in the new generations' time schedule. Maybe your feeling has more to do with your personal experience and aging than the overall situation, specially regarding tech.
@Zee Aye yeah, like I remembered star wars to be an epic movie with 2000's style Special effects and it's an 80s movie with great SFX for it's time... Don't trust your memory so much, if you are already thinking about the old days you have lived too much time to remember them that well. The 80's and 90's where a golden age for TV cartoon shows, either anime or Western... Do you think this happened because we spent most of our time outside? Were our parents the ones hooked to dragon ball, TMNT or mighty morphing power rangers? Is Pokémon the most lucrative brand in the world because we got bored easy when we played? It's good you remember fondly your time playing outside... But I think you don't remember how much time you spent in front of the TV... Maybe we were all too enthralled by these things to be aware how much time that was. Just food for thought, no need to get so defensive tho, friend.
"I miss my mother and the weight of the world" Knowing I'm grown now and will never feel it quite like I did as a child, this line gets me.
Big facts
it does its like raw but subdued
First time I heard this song was on 3.5g of shrooms that line made me emotional lmao
'Everything must run its course'
This is hard
Time To Pretend is one of those songs that you'd vibe to as a child, only to realise how accurate the lyrics are as an adult. Never ever allow this song to die out people x

My sister had a boyfriend who died when he was only 17. He loved this song, and he really did struggle with heroin. I only knew him for a short time, but he was the biggest impact on my life. He lived fast and young. He was so wise and chill. Almost like nothing bothered him but I know that everything did. I was only 13. I saw him dead… my sister was trying to revive him and his body regurgitated… that almost last line “we’ll choke on our vomit and that will be the end.”… that shit gets me. I’m 26 now, I miss you and I wish I could have seen you now older than me, and even wiser…
Man...
this is awful feel so bad for you, your sited his and your family
I had a friend like this. Suffered a lot from existencial crisis, as I do. But she couldn't take it, life was too absurd and too much for her. She was the most beautiful soul, bright and very smart. Took her life 2 years ago.
Wow man, thanks for sharing🙏🏽
I’m sorry for your sisters loss. Thank you for sharing. This hits too close to home, I used to be addicted to fentanyl and I OD’d 4 years ago and got resuscitated with cpr by my brother and father. I Hope he finally found peace wherever he may be in the next existence…
My mom bought me this CD when I was 12 years old at a Best Buy in 2008. I listened to it all the time. RIP Mom, I love and miss you.
I'm sure your mom loves and misses you too
It's quite stunning that we are approaching 20 years since this song came out. I got a job and office and I wake up for the morning commute.
You will see her again one day.
Your mom bought you CD written 'MGMT' that is indie-psyche band and not totally child or teen-popular music (and with sex/drug/adult theme)
Doubt but cool if it really happen
@epicmetod my parents bought me grand theft auto 🤷♂️
MGMT is amazing music, but it always make me feel sad.
it's literally a nostalgia overdose, I know exactly what you mean
+spoocyguy man this shit makes me feel like nothing else
especially when you were a teenager when this was released now your just another ohwell
+Ashton Smith what you say is the only truth, I used to be 16
yeah me too, makes me want more for myself... they are wise and happy
There is so much truth in this song , I'm 52 and i'd give anything to go back to being a kid again. Life certainly hasn't gone the way I thought it would.
I used to say I'd give anything to go back to my childhood. I still miss it very much, but if I had the option today, I'd not go back. I would not risk living a different timeline and never meeting my wife. All that time I'd win back would not be worth it.
"Life can always start anew." It's never too late to turn things around my friend. You are an important person in this world and in someone's life. Buena suerte and God Bless You.
@maxobino2753 exact same here with mine. We'll be officially together for 20 years on the 27th of November this year, 2024. Less than a week away from the time of writing this comment. We're both 37 with 1 beautiful baby girl and another baby on the way. This life is wonderful and while there are things I miss from my youth, I would never give up this timeline and risk missing her. There were so many pieces that had to fall in place for us to meet and end up in love. No way I'd risk that either. We're the lucky few, the ones who found our soulmates. I truly sympathize with those living a bad timeline and not getting to be with their other half.
51 divorced after 20 years married , I am in the same boat .Can t stand that the world has become on top .
I feel the same way, despite being 21. Even in tragedy, God's will is just. I realize that even though my life didnt turn out how I thought it would, it turned out ok. I've had amazing experiences and gained friends I'd die for. Love, peace🙏💮❤
One of the greatest songs of all time. Heartbreaking, poignant and beautiful. Utterly timeless.
i think it will be brother
Beautiful...music 💗🎼
I agree 👍

“I’m feeling rough, I’m feeling raw, I’m in the prime of my life” is the lyric that’s always stood out to me since I was 14. Now I’m 23 and it hits even harder as i feel I’m actually in the prime of my life, and I’m scared for it to be over. It’s going by so fast.
Edit for the replies: I don’t feel I’m in the prime of my life because of my age, but because of where I’m actually at in life. The memories I’m making with friends and family and what I’m doing. Not scared of getting older, just feeling bittersweet about time passing. Thanks for all the sweet comments though.
I’ve always felt that way too, but I’m currently 33 and can say I’m way happier in life now than I ever was in my 20s. I’m physically, mentally, and financially stronger than I’ve ever been, and appreciate life a lot more now. Try not to fear getting older. Embrace it and continue learning and working on bettering yourself every day.
I'm 29 now and amen to that. Life flashed before my eyes, and it just doesn't stop. It's already February like damn. Good luck in life.
Only now at 36 I am able to say I’m living in my prime in all aspects. I used to worry like you do, but getting older is actually nice when you work to keep yourself healthy and nurture your relationships.
same idk who i am yet … just an emotional wreck so far ;_;
It hits harder every year trust me ! We got this shiz❤
This has to be the BEST indie song EVER. It’s so iconic, the melody is so fresh it feels recent, the lyrics are captivating, I’ve been listening to this song since 2008, I can never get tired of it. Such a great piece
I know exactly what you mean, I enjoyed it 12 years ago on the radio but it still sounds so refreshing in 2020
siberian breaks is very good too
U gotta listen the ocean blue
funnily enough they made the song as a joke :P
come back here after a long time, i miss this era so much even if it wasn"t perfect , music was something so fresh and different.
The perfect song for children who yearn for the mines
real shit
and adult for the miners
minecraft movie?
Perfect
Jajajajaja
This is so fucking sad & beautiful at the same time. Happiness & sadness. Our temporary existence. It’s the essence of life.
I don't find it sad.. especially after the video. When your tearing raw meat up like a caveman. And riding on the back of a flying cat.. I just get more curious and disturbed.
I find it sad when people in the 21st century haven’t learned both “your/you’re”s
@@TaunellE same
Well written my friend, exactly.
I feel you on a another level man, this song makes me feel like all my memories come Into a conclusion and I'm on the edge of existence.
As a kid this sounded like an anthem, as an adult this sounds depressing like someone singing about how bad life is and they're caught between two bleak choices, not knowing the billion other options out there of they just wait to grow and look around.
So cool revisiting this and seeing how my take on it changed
so kids don't care about the lyrics? 🤔
Let's be honest, when you are a kid you don't pay to much attention to lyrics@@grg537
@@grg537 Kids likely haven't experienced the affects referred to by the lyrics
Very well put.
@@grg537Not nowadays because look how kids are. They know nothing passed cell phones, tablets and computers that's it. And having an arrogant attitude. 🤔🧐
I love how this song goes from rock star hedonism to nostalgia for their youth, family, home and things they are missing out on as they do drugs & get famous. It is a weirdly emotional song for me!
I'll miss the comfort of my mother
And the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father,
Miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I'll miss the boredom
And the freedom and the time spent alone

Indie music from the 00s was so great. I miss it...
Kiroz92 right?! Did you ever get into Yves Klein Blue? I miss them...
I dont think you know what indie is
Kiroz92 this is psychadelic indie though, difference. You might as well say 'psychadelic' means creative these days, cause musicians in this decade are too stupid to be creative without lsd. back then it just put an edge on the great artists that didn't necessarily NEED it.
***** you, my friend, are the dumbest creature on this planet.
it gives me a massive boner when people talk shit about me. i'm into getting my balls kicked and shit. keep telling me how retarded i am as i jack off my meat
This song will always be relevant because no matter who you are, this song instantly transports you to a specific time and place in your life when you felt most alive. Truly inspiring. Thanks MGMT.
HahaLesbians Primary School, playing Twilight Princess on my GameCube
Being a child : )
i never felt more alive then when listening to this song!
i swear man. this song really takes you back
It certainly takes me to a place in my life...when I was totlly strung out on meth.
I don’t think a lot of people realise just how good MGMT are and especially this song. At the tender age of 51 I love it. It’s simply about youth and your dreams. It truly is a masterclass of a song.
I'm 25 but this band grabbed me. It was no surprise when when Bono, Paul McCartney, Iggy Pop, and Lou Reed all said they are also fans. Check out "So Many Days" a song Andrew made when he was 16. Its clear this dude is a musical genius.
I'm 54 and this one still makes smile, think of my childhood, tap my toes
Wow, I’ve just turned 50, NEVER. Heard of these guys, but a good friend turned me here. It’s a catchy tune, doesn’t remind me of my youth, but good to jam on!
@@jrny7777 Check out Ariel Pink who they’ve worked with. I’ve gone down the rabbit hole hard and he is quickly becoming my favorite modern musician.
You sound like you're pretending to be 51
This song was my brother’s favorite, he died not too long after it was released from an accidental overdose at 21. I always think of him when listening to it. It’s like the song was made for him, right down to the lyrics. 😢
I'm sorry. Life's tough. Glad you're still here though 🙌
The world needs a band like this. Have they been coming up with anything like this lately?
They've been coming up with drugs.
King Platypus Haha. Thats fine too.
besides kids and electric feel, not really, the rest of their stuff is a lot more experimental, its still great though you should check it out
***** Yeah, I have a little bit. Its not as good as these few thats why I was asking. Id like to hear more tunes like these!
musicisbrilliant Nice profile pic.
The more you listen to the lyrics the more honest and depressing they get.
There's something strangely cathartic about it.
Yeah, I loved it from the first time I heard it but once I payed attention to the lyrics I wasn't able to listen to it again for that reason..
Yes true, but you just wanted to use the word cathartic because it sounds fancy. :)
the lyrics are incredably depressing.... and true
I felt depressed after listening to this and I still listen to it idk
@@ahzsknifethrowingchannel8182 It's probably because it's nostalgic as fuck and reminds us of moments we never had experienced in a long time such as having the energy as kids and teenagers, so now this song is sad to listen to since its a reflection of the better times we can never have again.
This song makes me want to live my best life
YEARNING FOR THE MINES BABYYY🔥🔥🔥
as a child i yearned for the mines
minecraft
The lyrics in this song for that trailer is hilarious
FR
One day after being depressed for a very long time i went out to my friend’s house for a party there , and in years i never felt that happy , we had so much fun , and in the middle of the party i got out to smell some fresh air and I laid down on a trampoline and played this song on my phone , then it started raining and I cried of happiness and the tears got mixed with the rain drops , every time i play this song i get shivers remembering that beautiful moment.
All those moments will be lost in time. Like tears in rain.
that is s beautiful, thank you for sharing
That seems like the best moment you f my life. I envy you
Othman Alothman that is a beautiful story!!
Aaron Penfold seems like somebody is pretty insecure about their sexuality
Lost my boy before his birthday. He put me on with this song. May he rest in peace and this song blast into the cosmos forever like his sole. RIP Brother
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I hope peace finds you again.
❤️
Sending my best wishes also good taste in music
I’m really sorry may he fly high and I’m wishing you good luck and a better future

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened"
Seriously though this song brings back memories like no other
YEP DIGGING UP WORMSEZ 👍
I know it makes me cryyyy
Anyone else here in July of 2024? Or this year in general?! Such a timeless song! The nostalgia is real. ❤
I remember listening to this song in 2014 when I was 12 years old, hearing the lyrics "I miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog, and my home" and how I still have all of those at that moment, and slowly but surely they're all leaving.
November 2017 is when my dad moved out and we don't see each other that much now,
May 2020 is when my sister moved out
December 2020 is when we had our dog put down because of the tumours and the amount of pain she was in
August 2021 is when I'll be moving out of my mom's place, out of my room that I've had for the last 19 years.
My sister, my father, my dog and my home, the only remaining one of these will be gone in less than a month. Sometimes it hurts to grow up..
Life is a struggle where we are allowed to hunt for some joy
@@FlyingSpring Hell yeah, life is wack
Hey man good luck out there I’m a sophomore in hs and times going by fast and not really looking forward to it but music like this helps me for some weird reason prepare for it but good luck man I’m sorry about all that and may God be with you
@@lukeirwin9377 You too brother, I appreciate the kind words. We gotta cherish every moment, good or bad!
Yeah I live alone and it can suck at times. My parents do live close by to me, and by close, I mean we're on the same street. But it does suck to grow up, have a job, and stay away from your family 😞 Please keep moving forward though. "I'm praying for the rest of your lifetime to be peaceful". Something my co-worker said to me 🤣 good luck brotha!
“I’ll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home”
This line always cuts a little too deep for me everytime I hear it
it's just so wonderfully nostalgic
Me too
CHF I am
@Music Account u missed
Well we don’t get to keep our pets in the spiritual world so yeah I’m gonna miss them too. Apparently our soulmate is there in the afterlife but that’s not blood fam I spose.
Apparently you don’t even remember it though and personally I’m looking forward to another trip around the sun on earth school. Just gotta make sure I don’t accidentally fall into this marrying someone cos they’re a hot looking person for everyone else trap n I might break my curse and not even need to come back after all 😜
Something tells me the reason we do tho is because life after earth is too perfect and boring, I think we like it this way guys
The song pushes all the buttons. Makes me feel every emotion.
If you like MGMT you might like a band called the Doublejumps
It’s 100x that off shrooms bro it was crazy asf I missed everything! And the song kept replying over and over during my trip
Una nueva emoción.
Non 😢7🎉🎉😢🎉
yes it does me too his life and lyrics are what I went and going through I love this guy
The trailer for Spider-Man Homecoming introduced me to this song.
The trailer for A Minecraft Movie brought me back.
"We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end, we were fated to pretend" the way he sings that so hopelessly
TBH i feel the same. With the government selling yellow cake, killing us with taco bowl engagement and airdropping supplies to ISIS, wtf are we gonna do but pretend we are free? I have money, a loving wife and awesome kid but I feel like I let them down because I am powerless against the tyranny from ALL of our leadership. I do not wonder why so many people commit suicide. When nothing but nothing seems possible, nothing wins. Peace.
Frank Lindstrom Exactly! And now we have covid19 to worry about.
Why’d I read this at the lyric
To me this song is about how you're fated to pretend to enjoy your lifestyle regardless of the path you take in life. In the song, there's a fantasy of rejecting a traditional path in life that is "boring", and deciding to live like a rock-star: partying, doing drugs, dating models, etc. However, you'll still miss your family, your time alone, having meaningful relationships, etc. You're fated to pretend to enjoy it to be happy, even if you may wish something else.
thanks.
That’s an awesome view. I always thought that you’re fated to pretend to be civilized. For a lack of better words. You pretend to be professional and go through life using technology while ignoring primal instincts to enjoy things like sex, drugs and nature. I can’t really put it into words but it reminds me that humans are animals. That our primal instincts and animosity are just apart of us and that participating in society is mostly pretending to be civilized. Again, for lack of better words
that makes a lot of sense
I have a micro penis, but And if we think even further, all this video is about pretending. That’s why it looks “fake”. Everything Andrew and Ben do in this video is not real.
@president camacho is Right
I’m 50, and I love this song. Every 7 years or so, I’ve had to say goodbye to a life chapter. This song embodies an earlier one. Letting go of childhood, and grappling with gritty reality.
I hear ya. But I think you can overdo gritty reality. I’m not far off fifty but still tempted to dabble in “childhood” occasionally. Like right now, after watching that a few times, I wouldn’t say no to just half a tab, hehe…
The nursing home is calling you ol head lol
Letting go of childhood sucks! The system of working 40 hour weeks is destructive to the human spirit. We're supposed to continue exploring the world and having fun as adults - that's why it's so difficult to let go.
@@HULK-HOGAN1 I completely agree. I think if you don’t hold on to some aspects of being a kid it would be like dying. You need to remember what that feels like, and how to access it. I spose if you have kids maybe you do it through them? But nah, that would suck coz they grow up and leave and then you’re just old. Yeah nah ya gotta stay young and in touch with the things that make you feel really alive. x
@@karenmcilvena4541 I guess that’s why older people often say they feel like they’re in their 20’s. My dad told me once how he loved walking through the toy sections again thanks to me being a child. I agree that we have to be strong and brave enough to continue being who we truly are

@@arath3589 holy shit same here. I have rhinestone eyes on repeat all the time lmao
I got that issue with like every tame impala song.
True, unbelievably true
That's why this song is a classic
I miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the World. This song is so amazing and brilliant. We should embrace all paths of life and enjoy it
To me this song is about masking your pain with your lifestyle or success. On the surface, it looks you’re happy and living a life with no obstacles but deep down inside you know you are and aren’t happy.
That’s why the instrumental sounds happy and upbeat but if you read the lyrics and listen to the singing you can sense the sadness.
The way he sings it is in a sarcastic tone.
Great song.
“We’ll choke on our vomit and that will be the end.” Beautifully haunting.
Danm...
I read this comment and played the song all over again. and every word u just said makes so much fucking sense oml
Spot on.
I literally have no idea why but this song always makes me cry until I wanna throw up
To me this is about a person/society who only saw the world in black-and-white, and suffered because of it.
🎶🔥 1 of them songs that take you there, 2 the place we're your soul runs loose 🔥🎶
Glad this song is blowing up again
my 16 year old daughter plays the tick tok version 15 seconds or so, I play the full length version on youtube back
haha yeah i remember this song from when i was younger dancing to it in my kitchen, the song sorta reflects how the past couple of my life have been

Teared up a bit listening to this at work. Growing up is weird.
same here man, its rough growing up
I remember thinking unironically that the premise of this song was my life's goal. Ended up a hopeless drug addict with no prospects. Good song though.
God damn you ain't wrong homie
ik i be crying everyday like this can’t really be it....... i just don’t understand how anyone can accept this as life bruh
growing up is weird for sure but definitely worth it. It's like a blooming flower under the sun compared to a seed in a dark bag. This song is a hymn of lost seeds. Have faith in yourself and push forward through anxiety, boredom, frustration, loneliness, depression and the rest. There's a good life hidden behind all of that, your good life. Ask for help, share your troubles. Family, friends, mentors, books, therapist, church - use everything you can to get through bullshit as fast as possible so you could spend the rest of your precious time in joy and love. It's worth it 100%. I'm sure, you'll figure it out if you choose to do so 😉 As the good song goes: "Take nothing less Than the supreme best. Do not obey to what people say, Cause you can pass the test. Just move on up..."
My throat and chest hurt listening to these lyrics, im 25 and I feel like I was promised the world, I was top of my class, a champion athlete, but now I'm sitting alone 30 miles away from my nearest friend, no car, no money, no job.
My heart tears in two thinking about my school days, I feel like breaking down crying, I've hit a dead end in life and I just want to go back, I'd give anything I own to go back.
Don't give up buddy, one must imagine sisyphus happy!
Life can always start up anew
Me too the nostalgia of school days depresses me the most. I was in my final year of school and doing well in maths and then 6 years later I finished my masters degree in engineering only to realise that engineers basically get minimum wage here in the UK and it is impossible to get a job plus I hated the job

Those were some of the best years of my life, and I always go back into that car as this song plays
Well the definition for nostalgia includes pain actually.
Felt.
That it can. This song came out when I still had so much hope for my life 😔 Miss those days and everyone I’ve lost since then.

LYRICS
I'm feelin' rough I'm feelin' raw I'm in the prime of my life
Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars
This is our decision to live fast and die young
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun
Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
Forget about our mothers and our friends
We were fated to pretend
I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone
But there is really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,
We'll find some more models, everything must run its course
We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
I said yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Damn thats sad
The first chorus does not say "we were fated" but only "were fated".
Lyric guys are underrated
This song is about the Hollywood lifestyle. RIP to blue star that choked on vomit a few years back. Read between the lines, don’t just snot them
This song brings back so many memories its not funny.
eggs dee
Same tho. Even tho I was like 8 years old when it came out. Although I don't really remember ever hearing it back then. But its still so damn nostalgic and sounds familiar
Same here mate. Other songs that do it for me are 'Post cards from Italy' by Beruit (can't listen to that without welling up) and most of the early stuff by The Strokes.
I just turned 40, but I still feel 24, and this song hits harder than ever before 😭❤
Ahhh Those nights in the early 2000s.... when we were young and happy...
same here
I was in my late 20s when this was coming out..now I'm 42. Time moves fast!!! :(

I relate. Things are just so different now. What happened recently if I may ask?
Uchiha Madara ikr. The 2010’s are abt to end and it just makes me really sad that all of the good times will go away. Ik it won’t but the 2000’s and 2010’s was truly a time to be alive
PacsOfMayo i hope you find people to lean on. Cause everyone needs somebody to lean on.
I can totally relate to that.
You'll find your center again dont worry bud
I remember when I was 17 and taking acid for the first time, I went to a party with some older kids in my neighborhood and had a great experience on it, around 2 am I decided to walk home and I remember when I got to my bedroom I stumbled through the dark and managed to tun the tv on, and when the tv lit up I seen the mtv logo in the bottom of the corner and this music video had just started to play, at the time I didnt know the song or who mgmt was but I remember watching the video and it making total sense to me, that night changed my life and really opened my eyes to the world.
NICE!

+AA Rivera your opinion, lol
Mihai Green not only my opinion
+TheChronic2015 this is so weird haha
In the most cliche way possible I had an eye opening psychedelic experience that kicked into high gear when a friend turned this song on and I weeped while listening. This song always pulls at my heart in a way I'll never fully understand like I did on that day. Their foreshadowing of their own futures, the nature of the world we're confined to, the despair of growing up...
I'm tearing up to this right now, and no matter how old I get will always "miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world."
Man I'm graduating and leaving for college in a town 3 hours away in less than 1 month and this shit be hitting extra hard
@@kajii1793 me too man...in 3 months i'll move alone in a new city. I just want to stay here,but I can't...
@@machinegunbenchis it's such a weird emotion. Sad to leave but excited to start a new life. "Love must be forgotten, life can't always start up new" this line hits extra hard especially when I just got a girlfriend in my home town and knowing I'll have to move away far from her soon
@@kajii1793 Exactly. I've never had any love in my life,so family the only thing I have left. A new life starts with a heavy price.
@@kajii1793 Sorry about your girlfriend. It's not going to end if you guys are real and stable:)
I am 56, and always listen to a variety of music. I remember hearing this song, but didn't know who played and sang it. A post by a friend headed me to search for this. Enjoying it once more.
"I miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world." Personally speaking, those lyrics hit hard.
That whole part of the song hits hard. Especially when you relate to almost all of the words. It's honestly a little scary how on point this song is to my life and past life
momma's boy
it really does
Harder than Harry Potter.
These guys were born old souls. Like Casablancas. Crazy perspective for their age and lyrically brilliant. Sad and poignant and still addictively catchy. ❤️❤️
Nice comment. I always had that same feeling about Julian too
how articulate, great point
YES
People don’t give the youth enough credit
They did admit their parents influenced their taste in music. Despite being young, they had old souls.
Why does this song make more sense the older i get?
Because it was written with depth and insight on the growing process. It starts with the journey within.
@M.U.F.C um.....what?

Thats nostalgia baby and the new feeling was a discovery along with the term itzelf ..for me anyway . The older i got the more o understood its definition and get this ,.. the feeling gets even MORE intense with age and with more reasons to trigger it too. Im 44 and i now feel nostalgia as often as i do the rest of the typical moods amd feelings we get . And it kind of satisfyingly sucks if tbat makes sense . I love memories but i hate the longing and realization of how ungrateful i can be with little things and moments we all take for granted .
Because it’s about growing old duh 🙄
*Anything you can dream about here, you can make!* 🗣️🗣️🗣️
*this place makes no sense* 😳
I unironically love the way the trailer recontextualized it by cutting out all the questionable/negative parts of the song, rearranging the lyrics they kept, and putting it in the context of the minecraft world. Was actually a little disappointed after seeing the trailer and coming here to hear what the rest was like.
The full song with it’s upbeat instrumentals is a subversion similar to songs like hey ya or pumped up kicks thats about the bleakness of life and pretending things are okay when they aren't, whereas the lines they use in the trailer match the tone of the instrumental (Which happens to match the style of newer minecraft in-game music really well), conveying the word as the innocent type of "pretend". Playing games, portraying characters, building our own worlds, make believe. And that you're free to embrace that at any age as an acceptable use of your time.
"Now lets have some fun..
This is our decision, nothing we can do (almost sounds like "can't" given the context), we've got the vision. Now let's have some fun.
Yeah yeah yeah.. We were fated to pretend."
They effectively changed the meaning from growing up, missing that euphoric feeling that childhood innocence of play gave and chasing it with careless hedonism pretending you don't have problems and not caring about anything anymore to caring about what you want and that being valid, realizing that make believe isn't a waste of time and that childlike wonder and passion about these things can and should be experienced at any point in your life just like the message of the games ending poem, and honestly I like that interpretation a lot better.
Those opening chords still give me goosebumps after 100 times listening
there might be a chance this is the greatest song ever created.
It is one of the songs which should be in the category, it has a meaning, it could be nostalgic and you can get emotional out of all of them mixing together.
But flash delirium is better
Marcus Deakin Both are good. Congratulations also. But I feel Your Life Is A Life is a bit underrated.
kubamax9 Kubowski I'm not that big on Your Life is a lie, I mean its a good track and I like it and listen to it a fair bit but I much prefer the other songs from the self titled like Alien Days and plenty of girls in the sea
Marcus Deakin Yeah I get it. Of course, everyone has their preferences over some songs.
I know they said they created this music out of a kind of "joke/mock", but 15 year old me was so in love with it, good times.
30 year old me still is.
30 year old you is young hun.
@@giovannigiorgio4622 🤗😍😘
I know right, I first listened to this when I was 15, now I'm 22 the song become more relatable.
30 year old Gang 🔥
i remember smoking weed at 15 listening to this and electric feel, original classics, 30 year old gang indeed
"As a child I yearned for the mines..." - Steve 2024
why does this make me cry
because you're chopping onions.No,it's a beautiful song.
Maybe you feel identified...
the sound is happy but the lyrics are tragic
same with "Kids"
I honestly think that's what makes them so popular...
Probably because it depicts the destruction of the current age and everything you love: mom, sis. home etc and the ushering in of the new age which according to the guide stones in georgia (american stonehenge) will eliminate 6.5 billion people leaving 500 million to inhabit the planet ... so u r not included and it makes u wanna cry.
Hard Light Carpenter
see above post ...
Goddamn does anyone else get really sad listening to this song? Like make you super nostalgic about your childhood and feel as if life just sucks as an adult?
"I miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone" how true
Strutting_strat exactly the same feeling
Yeah the lyrics hit me with nostalgia so hard it makes me want to cry. So good.
This song is all about living with drug addiction
Totally agree. Like you missed out but you know you didn't really. Youth goes so quickly. Hit 40 this year. Seems like yesterday I listened to this.
lol i'm a kid and I feel ya
All the 12 year olds in the comments. In 20 years time when you've got a dull desk job, and a wife and two kids home, come back and listen to this. It's going to hit you in the feels.
Not to be that guy, but the first thing you said was a fragment sentence
@@Bt--hr3gz It's a literary device, omitting the verb. :-P
@@Bt--hr3gz sentence fragment?
@@EddieDubs There's no verb.
@@BigyetiTechnologies KO😂
Imagine dropping an absolute banger like this with ironic intentions 😭
my dad used to play this all the time when I was younger. Only now have I realised the meaning behind the lyrics and how much I “relate” to them. Thanks Dad for showing me all this good ass music
Shit
What a joy it was to be an adolescent in the 2010s. Music had a renovation phase and it almost felt like nothing mattered, therefore everything was welcomed. So refreshing to go back to the music we used to party to and that is almost forgotten.
My whole youth I was scared of anything and everything, the only times I wasn't scared was when I was 9 years old and when I was 21 years old... I have only one regret, do not let anyone else take your happiness, even if it pays!
Thank you i will always remember this.
I feel this
Thank you
We will remember you
Thx dip
cant believe the Minecraft trailer is how i discovered this gem 😭😭😭😭
This song reminds me of my older brother who passed in his sleep. I never got to say goodbye. Think of him when the verse “I’ll miss my sister......” Miss you everyday. Life is not the same without you and my biggest pain is that my kids will not have you in their lives growing up.
This made my heart hurt a little:/ hope you're doing better man
Pulling on the heart strings my dude
I lost my father two years ago and this song just hits home so hard
Hey i've been through the exact same shit... My sister died in her sleep when she was 15 and i was 11 at the time, now i'm 26. I'd like to say it gets better with time but i don't think it does, you just get used to it in a weird way. All my thoughts are with you and your family
After 8 years, I was finally offered, not just a job, but a position I actually love and dreamed about! Not everything is where it needs to be, but it is one more weight off of my shoulders. Keep y'all's chins up, you're almost there.
congrats!your words really inspired me and bring me hope and I am not even and adult
congrats I’m happy for you :)
Ok cool but why are you tell us
The illusion of winning isn't real. You'll never be happy, it doesn't exist. Be ok now and thats where its at.
I can't believe it's been a decade already since this stuff came out. My God... At the time this came out, I was in college. My life revolved around friends and partying. That was it. Just pure fun and youthfulness. Now, I've got my own place, a full-time job, and I barely see any of those people anymore. Growing up is tragic. And you will always miss the freedom and naivety of your teens and early twenties... That said, there some major perks to being a fully functional adult so I would caution against getting too, too wrapped up in sappy nostalgia... Anyway, great fucking song.
True dat.
Right now, I'm you but ten years ago
congratulations on learning how to manipulate capitalism. Hope your pittance is bigger than everyone elses pittance ^^
You're right. Although I don't see how growing up is tragic as you said but definitely don't make some nostalgic sappy song takeover your life like isee alot of people do.
@@thedingaroo6731 aha
Catchy tune about hopelessness and addiction and probably thinking nobody would understand, so just going for it. Whatever it is. So sad that anyone would feel so overwhelmed that way. Mental health is so misunderstood and so widespread.
The fact that they made this song to make fun of pop songs, and it became one of the most popular songs ever says something. I don't know what, but it says something.
Maybe it says that people don’t give a shit if musicians are being ironic when the song sounds amazing?
@@karenmcilvena4541 satire is easily missed by people
@@dannymac939 yep. I see a lot of people reading so much stuff into this, overthinking it and missing the obvious - satire,
@@karenmcilvena4541 the concept of "death of the author" is something you may want to look into if you're struggling to understand why people derive different meanings from stuff
It says that this song slaps and it slaps hard.
This song does something to me I don’t fully understand yet. Makes me feel like I’m processing some ancient energy and like I’m on the cusp of understanding some truth that would allow me to be unaffected by anything in life.
I feel you! Everything you said I agree with
Lol your really cringey hahaha
You know they make this song for fun right? They're not even serious with this song
TheMetatron333 Mmkay but you’re not and you’re getting emotional about a song purposely written to be overplayed pop garbage. Enjoy the beat and chill out jeez
crissy4445 yes sir or ma’am.
I’ve Been a fan of MGMT for a while, but this song still gives me goosebumps. I want to share it with everyone I know.
Same, but I have to wake up for the morning commute
th-cam.com/video/9g40jtAn4zI/w-d-xo.html
Been listening to em for years and I'm still obsessed with this song lol, every so often I'll listen to it again then get hooked on it haha. Also this video might just be the best music video ever made imo, everything about 'time to pretend' is just perfection.
Es buenisima , y son chavales de 16 años
I don't think I've heard this song in 10 years but I thought of it just today. Brought back of flood of memories, I wept.
I am 14 years old and I connect to this song very well.
I will never forget how it felt the first time I heard this song (myspace days, feels like eons ago). This song truly did hit like no other. The strange misty primordial sound at the beginning. The imposing opening notes and chords that soar as the song progresses. The dark heavy, yet easily accessible lyrics. The wonderfully catchy drum beat that makes this easy to dance to. The beautiful reverb and surrounding cacophony. Such a large sound. All emotions all at once, as others have said.
This song hits different when you realize the universe is slowly dying and everything will be annihilated but your individual time and ability to affect other living things and circumstances around you only exists right now, and to experience the universe is the rarest of cosmic gifts...
That, and when you realize hamburger contains absolutely no ham. Both of those realizations make you stop and really contemplate life and our existence.
@@jeremyc9593 😂😂😂😂
Really the reason, I believe I exist
bruh...
David Edwards exactly and we’re wasting our time paying taxes like wtf is going on
I'm going down a rabbit hole of nostalgia. Nostalgia is such a powerful force within us, truly a bizarre feeling. Not necessarily happy or sad. A bit of longing to go back. I wish I could go back, just for a little, blaring these songs out of my car when I just got my driver's license and was in high school. Only things that mattered were finding out whose parents were going to be gone so we could party...girls...and your group of friends. Lol such a simple life, yet seemed so difficult to navigate at the time. I wish I could go back and give my teenage self so much advice.
xmikex902x oh my, same here! ♡
Do you have any advice for teenage me :D ?
Martinas Kaminskas i think you asked xmikex902x but i have an advice: do all (not the drugs :P) and don't think about it! time goes by and you only have one chance to make the best mistakes in your life :)
good advice, but i don`t have friends and it is fucking sad.
xmikex902x I'm old enough that this just seems like a couple years ago. Time compression as you age fucking SUCKS. There's probably a lesson or two to learn there.
Reminiscing ✨☁️🖤This hits trully different after almost 20 years. Time flies bigtime. ❤
Not only does this song make me nostalgic for childhood, but also for days with less technology. Your parents forced you to go outside, video games got boring after a couple hours, there was a real substance to life. Today just seems so much more empty
Leaving pandemic matters aside, it is not that different from those times. Statistics show technology has just replaced older technology in the new generations' time schedule.
Maybe your feeling has more to do with your personal experience and aging than the overall situation, specially regarding tech.
@@HaethStormbringer smh muh statistics, muh pandemic. Take a look around, kids today are F’ed and it’s sad.
Which is why it’s up to us to show them…
@Zee Aye yeah, like I remembered star wars to be an epic movie with 2000's style Special effects and it's an 80s movie with great SFX for it's time... Don't trust your memory so much, if you are already thinking about the old days you have lived too much time to remember them that well.
The 80's and 90's where a golden age for TV cartoon shows, either anime or Western... Do you think this happened because we spent most of our time outside? Were our parents the ones hooked to dragon ball, TMNT or mighty morphing power rangers? Is Pokémon the most lucrative brand in the world because we got bored easy when we played? It's good you remember fondly your time playing outside... But I think you don't remember how much time you spent in front of the TV... Maybe we were all too enthralled by these things to be aware how much time that was.
Just food for thought, no need to get so defensive tho, friend.
Ted was right
These guys had more wisdom at 18 already than most people will their whole lives
Fr lol they were on some different shit
@@zeusofcrete9927 Which is why it should be legal
They dont want the people to destroy the federal reserve! We need to change now!
Uh they were 24 and 25 but ok..
They were 24-25 when this was released but I get what you mean
I am almost 50 years old and I love this song / band , I love today's music yesterdays music and all music 😎👍
shane wilhelmi funny u say that u love this band bcus the two band meme bets have said that they don't like this song themselves,hmmmm.
@@reddd-77 what are you on about? 😂
Cool dad
Slump Kiid MGMT hates pop songs and this was a pop song they made apparently to poke fun at pop. Turns out, they make pretty good pop songs
Totally an ok boomer
THIS TOOK ME 3 LONG FUCKIN YEARS TO FIND THIS SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD SINCE I WAS 15 AND IM 19 NOW AHHHHHHHH
This song came out when I was 22 I think... Enjoy every second of your 20s! They go fast!
I feel you
happy for u mate, enjoy it
That sounds like an extremely precious moment the feeling must've been incredible.
Bruh that’s 4 years. You forgot to learn math because this song is so good
