"If I ever saw a ghost, it'd change the way I think. I wouldn't gasp for air if ever I did sink. I wouldn't struggle. I'd just let it out all fast, and then start living in the past" I can't even begin to describe how much I love those lyrics.
I'll never forget all those late nights and long drives, listening to this ep, when my ex wife and I first started dating.... It was so long ago, but I can close my eyes and listen to this song and I can feel that way again, at least for a moment....
I only heard it for the first time like a year ago and it's already nostalgic. I think that if I had heard it when it came out, me being in high school, I'd almost cry listening to it now.
My two cents after listening to this song a quarter million times in 5 years. Whether it is "raised" or "raped" is honestly open to interpretation by the listener. Depending on what mood you are in and how you form the context of the song (ie a happy song about love that remains would be "raised"; seeing the song as one about the melancholy fear of losing innocence and love, "raped" would fit.) Either way, to make it clear, I do not believe anyone in MGMT literally meant that act of sexual assault, but more-so the loss of innocence as we grow older.
Andrew LeMond either way, it's true af. mgmt is the shit because their music is so fucking real like their stance on sex drugs rock n roll but more importantly love culture and hope... no one is perfect, accepting that is peace....
Andrew LeMond Esta es una de las canciones más estupendas que he escuchado de MGMT, aparenta ser una canción no tan genial en todos los sentidos, pero, para mí es celestial. Creo que llevo como un millón de visitas en youtube.
I love you MGMT. You bring me inspiration and make me feel understood, and I can't tell you how important that is to everyone, not just me, and I bet you know how that feels. Thank you so much.
this song is excellent. i thought i had lost my copy of the album this is on, but found it this morning. so, i put it in the CD player of my car and drove around on this beautiful sunny spring morning, smoked a little weed, and listened to the album i thought i had lost. it may be my favorite recording of theirs. it's just 2 guys who love music, making the most heartfelt real music they can on whatever equipment they had. it's so refreshing sounding. it's like spring...it cleanses the soul...
AMAZING and beautiful. I don't know how could I miss it till now and how can be possible that every MGMT song is just great. I wish they'd play this live too.
I havn't heard MGMT in a while and thought I would listen to them, Now I remeber why I used to listen to them, They sing amazingly, they create outstanding lyrics and make some to die for tunes. I thank you a billion for the upload andrewxz
This is rapidly becoming one of my favourite MGMT songs. It has a lot of emotion in it, I love it. I adore the unusual song structures they use, they just always work!!
I get a strange feeling of nostalgia and flickers of a time forgotten or buried deep inside the hidden depths of my subconscious when I hear this song.
"there's a place i'd like to go somewhere out west. it's not specific, and the pictures show it best." omg... that's all i had to hear and i knew i'd love this song.
To be honest, I have two run away children in my house. I am a 45 year old lady. You can't lock kids up because they don't conform. Why does it matter what colour they are, what they prefer as sex and who they love? It matters a great deal, who they are with. I know they are safe here, but what are they running from. They are running away from foster care. I am not allowed to foster children, however here they are again. We have called the police and social services, nothing. I love our police so much, some I don't want to know. However, the ones who keep going in my town are always worrying about these kids. I've been in touch with them, nothing they can do except take my notes. I will keep noting, keep finding the kids and I will follow up on where they are going. Why are they here? They won't say, however, I can see fear in their eyes and I've just hugged them both. They need guidance, love from a mother and a father. This system is not working, why not try and help the parents look after their kids with your support? Then they won't be torn away and grow up hating their parents. The town I live in is full of masons. I hate this organisation because it protects them. Masons have ruled England for years, yet they deny it. Does the queen know, take a look at Rolph Harris paining the queen and then make up your own mind. Watch the making of John Wick, before you see the film. If anyone can save England, it's Harry. They got all the anger out of him, now he wants to follow his mother. Harry is a free spirit and will always be. However, he knows the truth and he is trying to sort it out. He doesn't want to kill, he wants to save. Nobody will stop Harry, but I bet they try. I am scared for his safety, but he will always keep going to places, always to make sure kids are OK. Yes, he's royal, but he was born into this world, what can we say but hope that he along with children across the world force governments to their knees and stop fighting. Stop lying and tell the truth for once. We are ready for the truth, some have been ready for years. Why all the new films? Do you fear something and are covering it up? Why aren't we allowed to sacred places if they are where are parents are buried? Three was a murder in our town and it's been all over the news so many times. Why is the guy who murdered Adrian Palmer is still out there. I'm not going to say the murders name, only the life of the boy he took should carry headlines, not the one who took his life. I know his mother, she knows the truth. So does his grandmother. Help them cope? Also this is most definitely about myself or my family. I am strong, I will speak the truth and I am honest. I will NEVER lie and they know that. So why isn't anything being done? Next, am I capable of killing anyone. I would be a liar if I said I wasn't capable. However, to murder someone you need to really be cruel, calculating and with absolute power and control driving you forward. Manslaughter, this is the act of killing someone you didn't mean to. Well, I think we need to look closely at a lot of overlooked statements and bring the truth out. I save birds, rabbits, nurse cats, ferrets I find. I rescue everything I can. When someone tried to hurt my children a violence erupts from me I find hard to control. I have to protect, it's like a switch inside my head. Once it goes, there is no going back, I won't stop and will fight to the death if I have to. I know I'm strong enough to kill a man with my bear hands and teeth. Would I do that, NEVER, EVER, EVER. I would rather die than let them near my kids. I have got one of my sons and helped the police arrest him after he pushed me over in the street. I love them, but they are victims too. Life goes on and we are nearly there. I want to educate my children to achieve their dreams. One wants to do plastering, the other cooks brilliantly. Well, all my kids do. I have no money, and I will never ask for any either. I will sell items I don't need in a large house I don't want to live in. I want a small place, clean, modern. For my two youngest sons and my wonderful partner. I have waited 2 years 7 months for a divorce. That's all I want.
+Nicole Hayward reach out to someone who is AVAILABLE to actually help you..hope all goes well for you...a frank note however: no one likes walls of text. they are exhausting to read..unless you're a troll...which, I didn't even read the whole thing...because it looked like hard work.
It says "Raised"... you can hear it especially well if you turn it up because of the auto tune... there is no RAPED, its RAISED. Just listen. Raped wouldn't make sense in the context of the song anyways.
I love MGMT songs and also like to see what everyone's interpretations of songs are. That is the best thing about songs like this, it can be interpreted so many different ways and nobody is really wrong unless MGMT say so themselves lol. Either way MGMT rocks keep making great music guys!
MGMT are possinly one of my fav bands like there songs are just great..and they relax you and there words in ther songs really stand out to you its like they know how your feeling and they just write about it , its almost like they know ur life story ther simply amazing..x
I am stunned . This song is pure beauty....... WOW. Awesome. This is the future. This is Art. This is what i was waiting for. Thank you MGMT, The best is yet to come ;)
This is the most extraneous song that MGMT has, in relation to the style of it and their other songs. It has stylistic methods and devices that are more pop-esque style than MGMT style. It's still an excellent song, with an excellent message.
So... Mezmerizing.... MGMT is a fantastic band, all their music is top notch. this is what people should be listening to, not shallow lyriced songs like what pop and hip-hop are becoming these days.
@lorez201 it's on their Time to Pretend LP. It's the album they released before Oracular Spectacular on Columbia Records. It has early versions of TTP and Kids...and a few others that are awesome. They also had an album Before this one. Oracular was actually their 3rd record.
makes me VERY melancholic... Im not dreaming about love anymore... Pictures of all the People i am going to love till the end but which i did loose in the meantime of the years are flashing thru my head while im hearing this. Love always remains...
"If I ever saw a ghost, it'd change the way I think. I wouldn't gasp for air if ever I did sink. I wouldn't struggle. I'd just let it out all fast, and then start living in the past" I can't even begin to describe how much I love those lyrics.
Same here bro. Sometimes it's like this song is talking to me
I'll never forget all those late nights and long drives, listening to this ep, when my ex wife and I first started dating.... It was so long ago, but I can close my eyes and listen to this song and I can feel that way again, at least for a moment....
I think this song is nostalgic to everybody who has heard it
i know theres trees i know theres sand and i know theres grass, i know its somewhere in the past
Lo es, demasiado.
are you being facetious?
I only heard it for the first time like a year ago and it's already nostalgic. I think that if I had heard it when it came out, me being in high school, I'd almost cry listening to it now.
Randy Blayn so true
2020 and still listening. This song got me through the hardest times of my life
Samesame
Yep
Same

Favorite MGMT song. Just beautiful. Makes my heart ache when listening at night.
It's been over 10 years and it's weird how this spesific song still reminds me of someone
Who does it remind you of?
This song will always remain in my heart.
THIS SONG IS TOO BEAUTIFUL. NOTHING MORE TO SAY.
I always think of this one someone and want to cry when I hear this song
In that moment right now :(
Me too
same
Taylor Pugliese very tranquil and thought provoking
very much so. I haven't listened to this song in years. Still brings back the same emotions it did all those years ago
I remember when this was uploaded. Damn. So many memories.
I love this song. Just a great summertime jam. MGMT are so legit.
I LOVE it.
MGMT sind einfach die Besten!

"We'll never feel so safe again.."
Thats the damn truth
2021
Yeah ..
these old songs are so good!
This song is one of their bests.
you hit the nail on the head mate, we all interpret lyrics our own way they all have different meanings to all of us -respect
My favoirite song after Siberian Breaks.
My brother. love siberian breaks
brah, you know what's up..
i really liked the type of letters you used. it's nice that someone actually bothered to fing a linetype thats suits the song.
this song gets me so emotional D:
it was playing when my heart got broken
and it was playing when i realized i could go on with life
unreal these guys made this many master pieces. this song is so good
Love always remains.... R.I.P Carlos Dume and Maria Herez. Love you guys.
Maybe my favorite song from all the time. This is so beautiful and gives me good feelings... Thanks for this masterpiece, MGMT.
Different from what I've heard so far from MGMT but this track has really grown on me. A truly emotional song 💕
this song is excellent. i thought i had lost my copy of the album this is on, but found it this morning. so, i put it in the CD player of my car and drove around on this beautiful sunny spring morning, smoked a little weed, and listened to the album i thought i had lost. it may be my favorite recording of theirs. it's just 2 guys who love music, making the most heartfelt real music they can on whatever equipment they had. it's so refreshing sounding. it's like spring...it cleanses the soul...
The girl i loved moved away out west to a place with sand and trees, she met someone just like her. For me this is a cruel and bitter sweet song.
This song makes me sad, along with many of their othe songs... Good music makes you feel emotion, this is one of the greatest bands of all time
my favorite rolling song 💯 🔥
AMAZING and beautiful. I don't know how could I miss it till now and how can be possible that every MGMT song is just great.
I wish they'd play this live too.
i want this to be the song played at my funeral :P everyone will cry their heads off
haha cruel
Same same same same same ... same
I havn't heard MGMT in a while and thought I would listen to them, Now I remeber why I used to listen to them, They sing amazingly, they create outstanding lyrics and make some to die for tunes.

This is rapidly becoming one of my favourite MGMT songs. It has a lot of emotion in it, I love it. I adore the unusual song structures they use, they just always work!!
I need this song in #SPOTIFY please fix it! it's for my work 😍😍
I get a strange feeling of nostalgia and flickers of a time forgotten or buried deep inside the hidden depths of my subconscious when I hear this song.
Saudades
"there's a place i'd like to go somewhere out west. it's not specific, and the pictures show it best." omg... that's all i had to hear and i knew i'd love this song.
If we hold the hand, not raise the hand then everyone can feel the hand.
I love the white flashes in the video -- they're like a thousand little epiphanies: but love always remains.
This is real nice
First time i heard this song i couldnt help from tearing up, its just so perfect 💘
crying...;(
I'm crying with you
so beautiful in so many different ways. wow

Fan of this group for the last 7 years and this week I came upon this song. I'm looping it for I don't know how long
"Hello my name is James, and I'm an MGMTholic..."
"hi James!"
James Ryu JAAAAAAMES
James Ryu They named a song after you
This song means the world to me. So much meaning in so little lyrics. It describes all I'm going through right now.
Marijuana memories
Lmao 4 years later and my life is shit. I can’t even smoke my sinuses are inflamed. I wish I could feel normal again man smh
this song is so great, these guys are masters of mixing lyrics together. i love it!

+Nicole Hayward reach out to someone who is AVAILABLE to actually help you..hope all goes well for you...a frank note however: no one likes walls of text. they are exhausting to read..unless you're a troll...which, I didn't even read the whole thing...because it looked like hard work.
Thank you very much, yes I was suffering depression and blabber mouth. Much appreciated.
No prob. I suffer depression too. On that note, I'm going to go follow my own advice. Peace, Love and Light.
Same to you, i feel a different person now!
First time I've heard this.... my mind just got blown. So very beautiful.
Why don't they do this live?
Big question. This is better than 70% of what they play live.
I saw your video years ago... this music make me remember the past. thank you for posting it :D
Does it?
"heavy breath"
This is slowly becoming my favorite MGMT song.
It says "Raised"... you can hear it especially well if you turn it up because of the auto tune... there is no RAPED, its RAISED. Just listen. Raped wouldn't make sense in the context of the song anyways.
2021 and still the love remains
its the most beautiful music, the sounds... just makes me strangly happy
back in high school days.... skateboarding and smoking some good weed #2011 miss those days
This is one of those songs that make you really love the "repeat" feature. It's made me tear up a few times.
I love MGMT songs and also like to see what everyone's interpretations of songs are. That is the best thing about songs like this, it can be interpreted so many different ways and nobody is really wrong unless MGMT say so themselves lol. Either way MGMT rocks keep making great music guys!
I agree with you completely...I discovered this song on my own as well. And this song certainly caters to my mood at the moment.
Sans the music:
This is one of the best pieces of poetry I have ever heard. Just reading the lyrics is like a song within itself. Such good poetry.
Most under rated MGMT song EVER
MGMT are possinly one of my fav bands like there songs are just great..and they relax you and there words in ther songs really stand out to you its like they know how your feeling and they just write about it , its almost like they know ur life story ther simply amazing..x
this lovely song makes my nostalgia to wake up. love it...
Time to Pretend EP is the best album EVER, a pure masterpiece :
Time To Pretend, Boogie Down, Destrokk, Love Always Remains, Indie Rokkers, Kids
10 years later and I can totally agree with you
@teamsnowboards1 I also checked, this was also from their EP, "We (Don't) Care", that was from the time they were called The Management.
Mgmt forever there music and song writing will never be forgotten..x
i love mgmt a hundred times more than already did just for having clarinet in this song.
@andrewxz thank you for posting this song dude.. i truely love it

I am stunned .
This song is pure beauty.......
WOW. Awesome. This is the future.
This is Art. This is what i was waiting for.
Thank you MGMT, The best is yet to come ;)
SUCH AN EPIC SONG.
This is the most extraneous song that MGMT has, in relation to the style of it and their other songs. It has stylistic methods and devices that are more pop-esque style than MGMT style. It's still an excellent song, with an excellent message.
wow. i love mgmt and i had never listened to this song before. i absolutely love it.
This song had me in a different world last night. Eighth of fresh mushies + this song = bliss
10 years of love

Wow I think this is going to leave me floating in pure carbonated bliss for the rest of this month....

makes me VERY melancholic... Im not dreaming about love anymore... Pictures of all the People i am going to love till the end but which i did loose in the meantime of the years are flashing thru my head while im hearing this. Love always remains...
