thats because it's from another reality by a band called "Jet Blue" and Cleaners from Venus somehow ended up through it, probably through black magick.
Lying in my room quite late one night Something I could see made me check my sight Something very strange made walk outside So I walked outside like this fool would Nothing to lose and I knew I should Ever since she told me that I was no good It was no good, I knew it would be... Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow But she looks like you Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow But she looks like you She looks like you It's the time of year when the flower dies It's the kind of night when the ghost will rise Searching for the girl with the dancing eyes Who could stay all day but leave next night Instinct should have told me it never worked out right Now I'm very nervous I leave on my light But I walk outside, I walk outside But it's Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow But she looks like you Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow But she looks like you Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow But she looks like you Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow But she looks like you She looks like you Listen to her voice going 'round my head Comes to me at night when I'm in my bed Could be going crazy, it's what they said And what they say is I'm no good Told me to leave, you really think I should Haunted by your face everywhere I look But I walk outside, and I walk to find it's Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow But she looks like you Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow But she looks like you Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow Only a shadow Only a shadow Only a shadow Only a shadow
It's a cover they never said it was there song all bands do covers now and again at there gigs. all of the songs on their albums they wrote themselves. And this cover rocks!
its a cover that might explain some of the deja vu aka it already happened but i feel you its something they try and succeed at harnessing like the sound of a corner of a non-existent past no one else can prove or disprove existed they manifest a beautiful dream world with all its pains and pleasures lol i love the obvi
I didn't say every MGMT cover. And I've never heard that song by The Cleaners from Venus before. But yeah I have been getting deja vu a lot lately, not always from "MGMT cover songs" or songs in general...
@saraahhsun Haha, just crappy naming because english isn't my first language and that was the only suitable word that came to my mind when uploading this video. And being as lazy as I am, I haven't changed it.
Martin Newell is the only person (save maybe Bob Pollard or Rob Smith) who has the pipes to sing his tunes. MGMT songs have some serious hooks and they nail the instrumental here but their vocals are generally very weak and need to be excessively produced. Daytrotter's stripped down sound and Newell's unique register render this cover quite moot to the original. Kudos for good taste though!
Reminds me of The Cleaners From Venus for some reason
I wonder why hmmmmmmmmm
It's mad, they've got a song with the same name and everything.
good job on a fellow that has more HA
Clearly the best band name of all time.
Lol
There is something about this song. It makes you happy, but upsets you at the same time. I'm hooked.
If you don't know this already, Cleaners from Venus made this song MGMT just did the cover.
woah okay i had no idea this existed
both the original and this cover are fantastic!
I was just singing the Cleaners version as I came across this video..
Same. Haha
I love MGMT. This is one of my favorite covers of all time.
I get weird deja vu when I listen to some of their songs like this one
Aashni u probably know this by now lol but this is a cover

Andrew is perfection
Lying in my room quite late one night
Something I could see made me check my sight
Something very strange made walk outside
So I walked outside like this fool would
Nothing to lose and I knew I should
Ever since she told me that I was no good
It was no good, I knew it would be...
Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow
But she looks like you
Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow
But she looks like you
She looks like you
It's the time of year when the flower dies
It's the kind of night when the ghost will rise
Searching for the girl with the dancing eyes
Who could stay all day but leave next night
Instinct should have told me it never worked out right
Now I'm very nervous I leave on my light
But I walk outside, I walk outside
But it's
Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow
But she looks like you
Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow
But she looks like you
Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow
But she looks like you
Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow
But she looks like you
She looks like you
Listen to her voice going 'round my head
Comes to me at night when I'm in my bed
Could be going crazy, it's what they said
And what they say is I'm no good
Told me to leave, you really think I should
Haunted by your face everywhere I look
But I walk outside, and I walk to find it's
Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow
But she looks like you
Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow
But she looks like you
Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow
Only a shadow
Only a shadow
Only a shadow
Only a shadow
This made me respect mgmt like 100x more!! Legends 🫡

MGMT - This generation's Sonic Youth.
Solía escuchar este cover cuando estaba en el high school omg cuantos años han pasado
I wish there was a bootleg of the Musikfest show, they nailed everything it was such a good time
Thanks.
its a cover that might explain some of the deja vu aka it already happened but i feel you its something they try and succeed at harnessing like the sound of a corner of a non-existent past no one else can prove or disprove existed they manifest a beautiful dream world with all its pains and pleasures lol i love the obvi

Did anyone else felt this like the cure?
I didn't say every MGMT cover. And I've never heard that song by The Cleaners from Venus before. But yeah I have been getting deja vu a lot lately, not always from "MGMT cover songs" or songs in general...
I hope they sing this song at their concert in Mexico ..
@saraahhsun Haha, just crappy naming because english isn't my first language and that was the only suitable word that came to my mind when uploading this video. And being as lazy as I am, I haven't changed it.
i was upset they had the handshake on their setlist and it wasn't played. also. Atlas sound was saying some weiiiirdddd shit haha
I get that.
because its new wave
I hope Andrew had a good birthday. :P
i like this better than the original
hello from covid
love is my first language
Andrews' voice looks like Billy Corgan's voice
wow, not bad mgmt, not bad..
@felatioable It's because he is. Word.
300th person to "like" this and the 101th person to comment...badass...just like this band. haha

@atennnant01 Here I thought I was high as fuck, but you take the cake man..... cake sounds good right now, no?
What it do bby
this is an awesome song that they definitely wrote.
guise this is a cover, they didn't write this song
When was this published?
What's the difference between the clear version and the studio version?
i was there. :D it was great.
The Cure! oh wait even better! MGMT!
Cleaners from Venus -Only A shadow
@PhantomOfPanton come live where I am, the only known MGMT songs here are Kids, Time To Pretend and Electric Feel
@fromsevenseas worth every penny i.m.o.
@samnninty oh god.
@atennnant01 Good for you:]
@kioxn Me too until it stopped being free :(
his vocals almost sound like the dude from smashing pumpkins on this lol
@SlayerWulf23 That person wrote the description... so nice try
Have you guys been listening to Pylon?
Better than the original
no
reminds me of the cure for some reason
2010 clavadazos!!! 😢
cleaners version
Ben looks like a psychedelic Jesus with short hair
@backinblackboy except they didnt.
@monadasmoinas Damnt, someone clicked the virgin.
@samnninty You do realize this is a cover song here? No one in MGMT actually wrote this song...
Talent recognize talent.

:)
i know right?? lol
That riff though is on Topaz Jones' song " Running out of runway" sampled I suppose, good cover MGMT!
The original song is From "The Cleaners from Venus" and Topaz Jones sampled it !
Is not a cover? O.0
@RissaJoanna95 NO. This is much better.
i dont like my shadow. its keeps following me
How me?
brokenupbeat was raped as a kid
[R]
Did I apologize? well, sorry about that....
It's called reverb and a chorus pedal... LOTS of bands do that.
reminds me of the smiths
Shut up and enjoy :D
