This songs brings me one of the happiest memories of my life and everytime i hear it i can feel a tear in the corner of my eye.. it goes back to summer 2020 when i was in a forest with my ex and we took Double Vision Magic truffles and i wanted to hear music so i put the first thing that youtube recomended. ♥️
What I heard, the name is a reference to one of the characters (which is called "fat freddys cat") from a 1970s comic book: The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, written by gilbert shelton. Then, they changed "cat" for "drop" for the reason that you surely imagine ;)
I sit and watch you from my window, Giving yourself away, You've been working hard all day I see the ground catch at your feet, I see the sweet signs of defeat, Like you're beaten but you feel no pain And then you turn to me instinctively, Checking if you're alone, Like a reflex from my guilty mind I fall away into the background, Like a shadow on the wall, To leave you with your peace of mind I watch from my window up high, All alone in this room, So many people go the same way, I think it's time that I changed my view Like a king in his lonely kingdom, A ruler who had no rules Ooh, Oh I got nothing left to lose, I think it is time that I changed my view Why did you choose my way? Why did you come down this lonely street? Was it to meet me? Was it to tango? Well the roots they sound so sweet Sweeter than gold, Sweeter than fame, Sweeter than honey Won't power the money Walking along this lonely street, Someone I'd like to meet, Someone I'd like to know, As a kindred soul oh so spiritual the sound ran down like waterfalls Running away never the same Changing my view of you everyday ohhh [I watch from my window up high, All alone in this room, So many people go the same way, I think it's time that I changed my views Like a king in his lonely kingdom, A ruler who had no rules, Ooh Oh I got nothing got left to lose, I think it?s time that I changed my views] (x5)
I had been looking for this (original? remix?) version of "This Room" like for half my life. Thanks Tom for uploading, thanks Fat Freddy's Drop for your seemingly infinite creativity.
Ive spent soooo much time trying to find this version AGAIN .. i lost it went my computer crashed haha yay BEST SONG AND VERSION EVER FAT FREDDYS DROP IS AWESOME
This is honestly the best band I have heard in some time! We need them to come to the US.. And if they don't soon, I am going on Fat Freddy's Drop tour in Europe, across New Zealand... something...
can't decide whether this or the album version is better... leaning towards the album version myself, when it builds up and then breaks into "I wanna love I don't wanna fight yeah yeah...". Just awesome.

At least the memory exists!
I'm livin through these moments with the girls to this days hahaha!
what a track!!
been too long since i've found a band where every track is captivating. i'm grateful for fat freddy and whatever he drops lol
The name is about how they used to drop acid when they were making music in Wellington :)
Fat Freddys drop is actually the name of a famous LSD in NZ. That's where the name comes from
me too

shut up and take my money
I sit and watch you from my window,
Giving yourself away,
You've been working hard all day
I see the ground catch at your feet,
I see the sweet signs of defeat,
Like you're beaten but you feel no pain
And then you turn to me instinctively,
Checking if you're alone,
Like a reflex from my guilty mind
I fall away into the background,
Like a shadow on the wall,
To leave you with your peace of mind
I watch from my window up high,
All alone in this room,
So many people go the same way,
I think it's time that I changed my view
Like a king in his lonely kingdom,
A ruler who had no rules
Ooh,
Oh I got nothing left to lose,
I think it is time that I changed my view
Why did you choose my way?
Why did you come down this lonely street?
Was it to meet me?
Was it to tango?
Well the roots they sound so sweet
Sweeter than gold,
Sweeter than fame,
Sweeter than honey
Won't power the money
Walking along this lonely street,
Someone I'd like to meet,
Someone I'd like to know,
As a kindred soul
oh so spiritual the sound ran down like waterfalls
Running away never the same
Changing my view of you everyday
ohhh
[I watch from my window up high,

Lyrics
I sit and watch you from my window,
Giving yourself away,
You've been working hard all day
I see the ground catch at your feet,
I see the sweet signs of defeat,
Like you're beaten but you feel no pain
And then you turn to me instinctively,
Checking if you're alone,
Like a reflex from my guilty mind
I fall away into the background,
Like a shadow on the wall,
To leave you with your peace of mind
I watch from my window up high,
All alone in this room,
So many people go the same way,
I think it's time that I changed my view
Like a king in his lonely kingdom,
A ruler who had no rules
Ooh,
Oh I got nothing got left to lose,
I think it?s time that I changed my view
Why did you choose my way?
Why did you come down this lonely street?
Was it to meet me?
Was it to tango?
Well the roots they sound so sweet
Sweeter than gold,
Sweeter than fame,
Sweeter than honey
Won't power the money
Walking along this lonely street,
Someone I'd like to meet,
Someone I'd like to know,
As a kindred soul
oh so spiritual the sound ran down like waterfalls
Running away never the same
Changing my view of you everyday
ohhh
[I watch from my window up high,
All alone in this room,
So many people go the same way,
I think it's time that I changed my views
Like a king in his lonely kingdom,
A ruler who had no rules, Ooh
Oh I got nothing got left to lose,
I think it?s time that I changed my views] (x5)
*More power than money
Wtf this is on another level FFD you make my day
I sit and watch you from my window, Lady
Giving yourself away
You've been working hard all day
I see the ground catch at your feet
I see the sweet signs of defeat
Like you're beaten but you feel no pain
And then you turn to me instinctively
Checking if you're alone
Like a reflex from my guilty mind
I fall away into the background
Like a shadow on the wall
To leave you with your peace of mind
I watch from my window up high
All alone in this room
So many people go the same way
I think it's time that I changed my views
Like a king in his lonely kingdom
A ruler who had no rules
Ooh, I got nothing left to lose
I think it’s time that I changed my views
Why did you choose my way?
Why did you come down this lonely street?
Was it to meet me?
Was it to tango?
Well the roots they sound so sweet
Sweeter than gold
Sweeter than fame
Sweeter than honey
More power than money
Walking along this lonely street
Someone I'd like to meet
Someone I'd like to know
As a kindred soul
Oh so spiritual, the sound ran down like waterfalls
Running away, never the same
Changing my view of you everyday
I watch from my window up high
All alone in this room
So many people go the same way
I think it's time that I changed my views
Like a king in his lonely kingdom
A ruler who had no rules
Ooh, I got nothing left to lose
I think it’s time that I changed my views
I think it’s time that I changed my views
I think it’s time that I changed my views
I think it’s time that I changed my views
