This song is about the utter emptiness of getting everything you ever wanted, and of realizing that your hunger is infinite, while anything that might satiate that hunger for a little while is finite.
This song to me is about self-destruction, yearning for love, and growing older. It captures exactly how I felt when I was working through PTSD and doing drugs, BDSM, and one night stands.
@@LuisGarcia-iz2xx Let the desire for things to be better seep into your everyday decisions. Reckon your thoughts directly with your actions and actively fight the fight happening in your mind. That's the best advice I can give.
To me, this is a wistful, sort of melancholy song about blaming all your problems on the world and wasting your life on dreams that aren't real. Does anyone else get that feeling?
I also feel it's about aging and becoming okay with aging - since it is going to happen to all of us. That themes runs through a lot of his songs, actually.
Yeah it's like what's the point dude?? School. Work. Die. Work so your descendants can go to school. So they can then go to work. Rinse and repeat. No time nor energy for anything else. When can you actually do what you want? What if I want to read all day and not worry about anything? What if I just want to listen to this album all day? No, you always have to be doing something. But it can't be anything you want to do because you have to do this other thing soon. Not now, but soon. So when can I do what I want? Never. Just. School. Work. Die. All so you can have a pretty house (not a home, who has time nor money for a "home"?), in a pretty neighborhood, with a pretty partner. All so your descendant can live in a pretty house one day, in a pretty neighborhood, with a pretty partner. School. Work. Die. That's it. :)
I'm 51. I found out I had spent my whole life atypical without knowing it when diagnosed autistic this year. I listen to this and a couple of other great LCD tracks on repeat now in my ear defenders. I punch up the volume and just watch all of society run around like rats...and I laugh... I love this group.... love love love. Thank you for catching me every time I fall.
James! my boy I'm a straight up cannibal corps and slayer die hard fan but your music fawkn hit me right where it needed to ...to allow my love of my life come in ...hats off to you ..beautiful music
Murphy's Law. He deconstructs all the best parts of Earth's historical musical canon, fucks it about and comes up with his own utter unique and sublime beauty. Best mid life crisis tune ever.
I was very impressed when Soundsystem took a moment in their concert to honour the late GREAT Maestro Angelo Badalamenti by playing two of his most famous Twin Peaks works. Well done, gentlemen! RIP Maestro.
Amazing dark synth sound here. Shades of Bowie, and OMD. You can here the influences of these two on this track. Think Bowie's 'Sound and Vision', and OMD's track 'Souvenir'.

"find the place where you can be boring where you won't need to explain that you're sick in the head and you wish you were dead or atleast instead of sleeping you'd prefer your own bed" is such a haunting lyric to me because it's like i wrote it myself. it's terrifying. it perfectly sums up a point in my (pretty toxic) relationship with this girl i used to be friends with and partly why it ended. so many words in this song seem so identical to different points in my life. it feels so personal.
this song really speaks volumes, about how simplicity can almost bring you to tears. I seriously listen to it about 10 times a day. I go to a different place when i hear it, a lot like "right where it belongs" by NiN
when the single came out I just couldn't wrap my head around the mastery packed in this record. I really didnt like it and could only listen to call the police. Fast forward 2 years and now this is my favorite LCD song. it's so insanely good ot just needed some time after planting the seed in me to grow.
This was the first song by them that I ever heard. It was a live performance on a late night comedy show(maybe Jimmy Kimmel?), and I was floored by how powerful it was and how it clearly moved everyone present. (likely everyone watching at home as well) :P
Same here. I listened to oh baby. Fast fed a year - heard call the police at a friend's - loved it instantly. How had I missed it? Now seeing it live - I can't stop it resonating daily in my head. Weird. But glad it does.
The same bittersweet melancholy nostalgia that Andromeda gave me. It's like going back to the house of your childhood and sleeping in the bed you've spent 16 years of your life in.
So I'm laying here in bed staring at a blank ceiling listening to this song and I start to slip into a full existential crises while a single tear starts crawling slowly down my cheek. Dude. James. It's Thursday. I gotta work in the morning... or do I... or do any of us... what are we... why are we... James! I'm slipping man, I'm slipping!
I am 40, and I have been suffering from intractable back pain for 16 years. The first I heard this song was when they played it on SNL. I had much the same reaction. I played this and Call the Police over and over until the sun came up, and I dreamed of being able to dance like their synth dude. JfromOH
am I the only one that this song reminds them of the thin ice by pink Floyd!!? 😲 i always though the thin ice was too short and always wanted more, this song sounds like an extended version in a way so it satisfies in a way, either way both are great songs
Not gonna complain about how this sounds so much like a Suicide song that Martin Rev should get songwriting credits. Instead, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy a song performed by a favorite band of mine that is clearly influenced by one of my other favorite bands...
"It's a drug of the heart and you can't stop the shaking 'Cause the body wants what it's terrible at taking, oh" Holy shit these lyrics are awesome and the music is god like
Matt Teller I'll take one for the team. Almost everyone I graduated with still lives in the same area, dates the same people, and works the same shitty jobs. I can't wait to go and watch them all try to convince everyone their lives aren't as awful as they clearly are.
Good god this track is gorgeous. I enjoyed Call The Police, but this one was just a fucking gutpunch. Seriously, preparing myself for these tracks, I was all "Well, no matter what they do now, they won't top Someone Great." I was proven wrong right off the bat. So, my next bet is that "No matter what, the next album won't top Sound of Silver, and it definitely won't be a masterpeice" ...and let's see how that bet turns out.
The "mother was a cripple and my father was a drunk but gentle man" in Call the Police just makes the entire song for me. I like it. I like the harmonies and the pace and movement of the song, but that one line just kills it for me.
I'm numb. Completely shut off. Years ago an ex started a rumor that I was HIV positive, and it spread like a breathbourne disease. everyone stopped talking to me. My mom threw my shit in the yard, I got there the next day and it was all rained on and picked through. I stopped talking altogether for maybe 3 months, wandering the streets. Couldn't speak. Anyway, this song makes me feel better
My best friend Jazmin showed me this song, I don’t really listen to it too often, but i shuffled my music today and this song was the first one that played and I just remembered the good times, the long night drives on those cold days, our drives every summer day drinking Starbucks with an extra venti cup of water mine with no ice lol cause it was hot as fuck, smoking and eating a smoked bacon sandwich having random conversations, talking about our love life, our fantasies, dreams, sad moments. I remember you always had a smile on your face even if you were going thru some hard shit. And with this song, as soon as it starts, that’s how I remember you, smiling and I remember your “ugly laugh” like you used to call it. But now, this year things are different, we’re going on separate ways, I’m not quite sure why you decided to just not talk to me anymore, I can think of something but not exactly why. I understand, maybe it’s good for you to be away from me, maybe you’re better without me. Maybe you found a new best friend. Idk, but you’ll always have a special place in my heart, I will always love you and I miss you, and I hope you can think of me every now and then like I think of you. Thanks for being my best friend for so many years! You made me really happy. I’m sure you won’t see this comment but I had to let it out. I love you Juanita
So you kiss, and you clutch, but you can't fight that feeling, that you one true love is just awaiting your big meeting, so you never even asked for a name.
dont know ya. but always here. im an insomniac and know the trouble of dealing with issues ppl dont get. save me in ppl you follow. and anytime you got shit to say, send me a message. i guarantee ill see it and respond 99% of the time immediately. you know whats worse than life? nothing. you know whats better than being dead? just about anything.
@@evocative01 I saw you comment this to somebody and I’m an insomniac myself and just feel like ppl can’t understand my depth. Just wanted to say hi and see how this could help the world....
princeoffriendship no I understand you perfectly, my family get all weirded out whenever I play this around them, but I’m planning to play this tomorrow at Christmas dinner
If you read the lyrics and listen to the song you get an understanding of the vapid dreaming of the person that the lyrics are following, that he is following true love but never getting it because of the habits of what is supposedly the american dream wherin he can live freely without restrictions, but that doesn't matter anyway cause that is not really what he was looking for to begin with.
James, this is seriously too good. "So you kiss and you clutch but you can't fight that feeling/That your one true love is just awaiting your big meeting" I. Feel. This. Lyric. So. Much. TT_TT
I feel ya! I was minutes from falling asleep, then began listening to the track and proceeded to spend the next four hours of my night having an existential crisis. And I'm not even upset about it. Not in the slightest.
Wake up with somebody near you And at someone else's place You took acid and looked in the mirror Watched the beard crawl around on your face Oh, the revolution was here That would set you free from those bourgeoisie In the morning everything's clearer When the sunlight exposes your age But that's okay And that's okay Grab your clothes and head to the doorway If you dance out, no one complains Find the place where you can be boring Where you won't need to explain That you're sick in the head and you wish you were dead Or at least instead of sleeping here you prefer your own bed, come on You just suck at self-preservation Versus someone else's pain So you feel drained And insane And insane He was leather and you were screaming Swinging chains against the stage And you couldn't know he was leaving But now more will go with age, you know So get up and stop your complaining You know that you're the only one who's been destroying all the fun Look what happened when you were dreaming Then punch yourself in the face So you kiss and you clutch but you can't fight that feeling That your one true love is just awaiting your big meeting So you never even asked for names You just look right through them as if you already came It's a drug of the heart and you can't stop the shaking 'Cause the body wants what it's terrible at taking, oh And you can't remember the meaning But there's no going back against this California feeling American dream (sha-bang, sha-bang) American dream (sha-bang, sha-bang) American dream (sha-bang, sha-bang) American dream (sha-bang, sha-bang)
I want to wake up to someone somebody near me, and at someone else's place. This song is so raw. I can see this being a song that two people listen to 20 years from now, and them remembering their first time sleeping together, and then they slowly dance in the night to their memories of that night when they were young, reckless, lovers. They have found their place to be boring, with each other, to this song.
So far, I got: - Mount Eerie: A Crow Looked at Me - Father John Misty: Pure Comedy - Kendrick Lamar: DAMN. - Pallbearer: Heartless - Arca: Arca - Spoon: Hot Thoughts - Future Islands: The Far Field - Perfume Genius: No Shape - Sampha: Process - Slowdive: Slowdive - Mac DeMarco: This Old Dog - Xiu Xiu: Forget And we know for sure that these are dropping: - Fleet Foxes: Crack Up - New LCD Soundsystem - New Vampire Weekend And I just smell in the air that these will drop too: - Queens of the Stone Age - Arcade Fire - Kanye West - FKA Twigs - Tame Impala - St. Vincent - Miguel
Amen. Luckey enough to see them twice last year. Once at Coachella and the other at FYF in LA. Both amazing performances. Seeing LCD days after Prince's death was very deep.
I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out; I didn't know what I wanted to do! And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it... I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, my God... the genius of that!
I can't find any of their studio-produced videos anymore - like "Daft Punk...." or "North American Scum" or "Someone Great." Where did they go and why?
This kind of song you listen at 3 A. M. In your bed looking to the sky uf you have a nearly window and you lost very far road in side me, so Deep in me that makes you think that if you are doign the right things or you are just loosing time in some stupid things, and then you think a out nothing at all But thats ooookaaaaaayyyyy..🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🔊
Wtf? This is seriously the best music I've heard in a while
This song is about the utter emptiness of getting everything you ever wanted, and of realizing that your hunger is infinite, while anything that might satiate that hunger for a little while is finite.
It's the American Dream, baby
Ok, that explains it. I thought James was into kinky gay sex.
So just about life in general then...
Definitively.
@@nicholasprakash3411 I have always wondered if he is gay anyways?

This song makes me cry right when it starts. The only other song that does that to me is everything will be alright by the killers.
I want you to know you made me discover "everything will be alright" by the killers, and I thank you so much for that
It's got a bit of a Doo Wop / Fifties feel to the melody.
Wait, are you me? Because those two are sooo important to me
To me, this is a wistful, sort of melancholy song about blaming all your problems on the world and wasting your life on dreams that aren't real. Does anyone else get that feeling?

Yup.

Low key the best LCD song. Sometimes the only song dead ass.

You're wrong Paco, calling it "trash" is such an overstatement even if you didn't like it.

The "mother was a cripple and my father was a drunk but gentle man" in Call the Police just makes the entire song for me.

Watched the beard crawl around on your face
Oh, the revolution was here
That would set you free from those bourgeoisie
In the morning everything's clearer
When the sunlight exposes your age
But that's okay
And that's okay
Grab your clothes and head to the doorway
If you dance out, no one complains
Find the place where you can be boring
Where you won't need to explain
That you're sick in the head and you wish you were dead
Or at least instead of sleeping here you prefer your own bed, come on
You just suck at self-preservation
Versus someone else's pain
So you feel drained
And insane
And insane
He was leather and you were screaming
Swinging chains against the stage
And you couldn't know he was leaving
But now more will go with age, you know
So get up and stop your complaining
You know that you're the only one who's been destroying all the fun
Look what happened when you were dreaming
Then punch yourself in the face
So you kiss and you clutch but you can't fight that feeling
That your one true love is just awaiting your big meeting
So you never even asked for names
You just look right through them as if you already came
It's a drug of the heart and you can't stop the shaking
'Cause the body wants what it's terrible at taking, oh
And you can't remember the meaning
But there's no going back against this California feeling
American dream
(sha-bang, sha-bang)
American dream
(sha-bang, sha-bang)
American dream
(sha-bang, sha-bang)
American dream
(sha-bang, sha-bang)

'You just suck at self-preservation versus someone else's pain'
Yes. Yes, I do.
city anthem
Reminds me of David Bowie. Like "The World Falls Down" or maybe something off "Low". Sounds great!
Ewan Sinclair David Bowie actually inspired James to make this album so that definitely checks out!
you broke my heart on my morning commute, and i shed a tear in front of strangers who never knew why
Why this song sound like something The Killers, Brandon Flowers would sing?
lol wtf came back in 2024 aug to find my own comment.
This is absolutely mesmerizing.
I want to wake up to someone somebody near me, and at someone else's place. This song is so raw. I can see this being a song that two people listen to 20 years from now, and them remembering their first time sleeping together, and then they slowly dance in the night to their memories of that night when they were young, reckless, lovers. They have found their place to be boring, with each other, to this song.
Sounds like a song from the 80s that I would play during Christmas....
Just me? ...ok
It's officially confirmed that 2017 is gonna be a year full of good music

Ay good on you for this upload
Loving the new stuff, also one of the best live performers of our time.
Amen. Luckey enough to see them twice last year. Once at Coachella and the other at FYF in LA. Both amazing performances. Seeing LCD days after Prince's death was very deep.
week 2 fam
Reminds me of an 80’s prom night. A girl who finally gets to dance with her crush😩
I've had songs stuck in my head before, but this is the first song to be stuck in my heart
Fell in love with this song immediately! hit replay so many times I can't stop listening to this
I love this track. Is it me or was the band listening to The Final Cut by Pink Floyd when they composed this one?
maybe, getting a floydy vibe from the entire band but from definitely this song
I watched them perform on SNL and fell in love with this song 😍😍😍😩 it's so good!!
this being the "first" thing they put out after Home being their "last" song before the brake up makes it so much more heartbreaking
Miss Sarajevo and Gerry the Holograms in one. Electro-indie it's goes there, but scoffed. 😕
This would be on the Donnie Darko soundtrack had it been out at that time!
I love that movie.
It’s on “A Dog’s Journey” soundtrack
I wanted this to be the last song played during the end credits I would love to direct called "Martin and John."
Almost too depressing
I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out; I didn't know what I wanted to do! And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it... I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, my God... the genius of that!
Love this song, love the LCD SOUNDSYSTEM.
Listen to House Party by Retrofile, thank me later
Thank you
Thank you
This album was kind of the soundtrack to me watching a good friend of mine die over a period of a few months.
So sorry about that.
Now a days good music is so underrated. This song right here is a masterpiece and a deserve a lot of attention.
The record spin syncs up *almost* perfectly with the song.
This track strongly reminds me of Roger Waters and Pink Floyd.
Def early Human League influence same synth rifts as Circus Of Death
This sounds like it belongs on the Twin Peaks soundtrack.
SE PASARON DE VERGAS CON ESTA ROLOTA
Robert Smith will be so proud of this song! 🔥
this is such a beautiful song... it takes me to a lot of places i've never been before
There needs to be a video for this song. I’ll even take a fan-made video.
I can't find any of their studio-produced videos anymore - like "Daft Punk...." or "North American Scum" or "Someone Great." Where did they go and why?
That strobe is REALLY irritating me.
This kind of song you listen at 3 A. M. In your bed looking to the sky uf you have a nearly window and you lost very far road in side me, so Deep in me that makes you think that if you are doign the right things or you are just loosing time in some stupid things, and then you think a out nothing at all But thats ooookaaaaaayyyyy..🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🔊
