Fantastic references, I think that's exactly what this album evokes, a new originality for the new decade like those acts were for the 2010s. A real intelligence and reverence for the genre.
This might be the most compelling, haunting and well-crafted electronic song I've ever heard. I think this song will age very well. Reminds me of an old friend who's always in my thoughts.
UNHoly shit...you took the words out my mouth! And what's funny is that the song mentions friendship so could it be subliminal. One things for sure I love how that theme and the production merge together perfectly. I can't even tell if it's about a lover🖤
@@armandoosuna6525 that is what’s it about lolll if u look on genus it’ll tell you, but it’s also about the guilt of not being there for a friend when things get bad
more like collective unconsciousness...The "mercurial world" can't be grasped with your hands. Most of the cells in your body aren't and never were destined to become a Hermes but rather a death cult...well for life I guess. But errors so large we might call them "Evil" aren't about death or life but utopian unwisdom born from fear.@@samanthanovak2301

Remember, kids…if you attempt a shot at achieving immortality by uploading your consciousness engrams to a computer network, you will only succeed-at best-in creating a copy of yourself, which will never be the real you.
@@teagueman100 No, your cells aren't mere fascimiles. They are entangled (referring to quantum entanglement) meaning they are one with the original. It was recently proposed that we could create a simulation of our brain or mind (whatever the mind may be) inside a quantum computer wherein the qubits used to simulate our mind are entangled with our mind. Then this simulation would not be a mere facsimile but an actual part of our mind or an extension of it. You see? The idea is the original could perish but would continue to exist through the simulation. But I'd say there is no guarantee that the simulation would evolve the same as the original would have (once the original is gone). That's presuming you can even find the source of the mind. The brain may not be the mind but rather something more like a transceiver radio which connects the body and mind.
It's my 20th time listening to this song in less than a day, and I'm still getting goosebumps and that feeling that comes over a person when they rreeaalllyyy like what they're hearing. Magdalena Bay has a sound, look, and overall energy that is fun and unique, and while definitely tipping their hats to 80's and 90's music and pop culture from America to Asia, nobody I've ever heard sounds quite like them. They deserve a cult following, I just hope they stay true to their original sounds and ideas. Yup, I'm VERY excited for this album.
Fuck this is so perfect, I honestly can't remember the last time I heard anything this good. And combined with the video it's just insane. How does this masterpiece only have 200k views???!!!
As someone with Synesthesia I experience colors and sound when tasting or observing and listening and I felt like I was surrounded by a broken kaleidoscope from the incredible production and mastery here. The vocal is haunting and transcendental and the melodies are glowing.
@@kittymaid420 Honestly both. I see colors and shapes the most when listening to music and I envision a lot internally when that music has an emotional resonance with me.
I love this comment. I don't have synesthesia but I have Dissociative disorder so I daydream most of my life away. The video is definitely what I imagined what it would sound like. A sunset, a solumn expression, flashing lights, robots, a soft way of dancing. They really did the music justice with this video.
@@maurocpalacios Yeah, it's gonna be weird when they're pop super stars, but as long as they keep making this amazing music 😵 everything will be fine… It was not so much an era as it was a small budget tho 😬; they've stated the only time their record label could give them a video budget was for "Venice", which is their only other "professional" looking video, so this is exciting 😱
Man I really love her voice. Some of the lyrics feeling a lot like wallowing in a depressive episode and then after being upset at yourself for not trying harder to get up. Getting Serial Experiments Lain vibes from the scenes. :)
0:11 It's midnight, I'm tired and doing college work, and I legit thought that guy was walking up to her with a vine in hand and he was just gonna chuck it at her.
Arguably their greatest single and music video concept so far. Such evocative chord changes and keyboard production along with a timely mental health message in the lyrics.... Goldfrapp meets 2021 keyboard production values..
Every time I come back to watch this video I get annoyed that it hasn't reached 1 million views yet. The world is still asleep to Mag Bay. LET IT COME ALIVE, LET IT GROW.
I don't generally listen to this style of music but I can tell there's something going on here conceptually that I appreciate. I guess that's the first step on the road to true belief ;)
Straight fire. Edit: not only do i still agree with my previous statement. it might be the most epic edm song i've heard. the build up is insane. just pumpin up and up and up THEN ........... epic.
So glad I decided to check this out in my Spotify suggestions. This is the synthpop I crave. The sound and the look are a really fresh take on "futuristic" synthpop. Absolutely loving it. I am along for this ride.

mag bae summer
FOREVER
ARE YOU SIGNING THEM get out of here
Amen
you were so ahead of time its insane
Indeed it was
I haven’t heard anything this good since last decade the era of early Purity Ring, Phantogram, & Grimes
Fantastic references, I think that's exactly what this album evokes, a new originality for the new decade like those acts were for the 2010s. A real intelligence and reverence for the genre.
No literally domino sounds like it belongs on artangels by grimes lol it’s so wild
Hit the nail right on the head.
Yep. I was obsessed with Visions and Another Eternity. I didn't think anything would come along like that again. And here we are.
Sameeeeee
Magdalena Bay dropping a new song is just what I needed for this summer sheeesh
Didn't expect to see you here lol.
SAME
Sheeeeeesh
Wassup

@@armandoosuna6525 that is what’s it about lolll if u look on genus it’ll tell you, but it’s also about the guilt of not being there for a friend when things get bad
Lmao I mean there are plenty like it… and that came before it but it’s a great song none the less
@OneSilentGiant Oh tell me about it! I wasn't going to delete this comment but the live version is amazing, even better than I could have hoped!
The groovy and atmospheric way this sounds is like everything I ever wanted in a song.
Truth.
Fact
Me too! Perfection!
omggggg the production... the budget... this is gonna be magdalena bay's year i can feel it
It's once again the year of Magdalena bay
Every year is magyear
bestie i have news for u about 2024
Well it wasnt
Silence I've made my decision. This is officially one of the best songs I've ever heard.
NO CAP
DUDE SAME
Shantay you stay
ur name>>>
This song has an ethereal yet haunting feel to it that I never get tired of listening to!
this is soo fucking sick I cannot wait for the album
seriously one of their best songs and absolutely their best music video
Her voice is like cotton candy.
i don’t think anyone will ever understand the power this has, the intelligence this has, the international implications this has..
Yes! The whole album hints at collective consciousness and I love it

*Meatwad voice* Well ah do! No, wait,
no ah don't.
they don't have a bad song dude... I love them so much
hearing this song live in concert changed my brain chemistry
The last minute is wow. Their songs always have this last thing that puts the cherry on top.
Chaeri on top
these chords are incredible
they are really tasty. he knows his stuff.
It's an incredibly simple chord structure harmonically. That's like saying I-IV-V is incredible, bruh wtf
@@daritter i feel bad that a good use of modal mixture has become so commonplace to you that it no longer fills you with joy and whimsy

Music’s gonna be fine. These kids have got it
Remember, kids…if you attempt a shot at achieving immortality by uploading your consciousness engrams to a computer network, you will only succeed-at best-in creating a copy of yourself, which will never be the real you.
(strangely, she reminds me in a way of Grimes, who also has a video out on more or less the same subject ("We Appreciate Power") )
I am already a copy of me. My cells and neurons are constantly changing and copying. Once I am in the machine I wont know any difference.

The More You Know...
“Come on you’re not even alive-if you’re not backed up on a drive~”
Just discovered this. Listening on repeat. So effin good.
It's my 20th time listening to this song in less than a day, and I'm still getting goosebumps and that feeling that comes over a person when they rreeaalllyyy like what they're hearing.

Yup, I'm VERY excited for this album.
Alright Drew, lets be priests in this new cult! We will spread the good word/music. Thoughtful comment btw :)
@@praetentious2925 Thanks friend! I really do think the debut album is going to be synth pop at it's finest.
@@pathogensmusick synth pop? Do you think the whole album will be that genre? Right on!
@@praetentious2925 Maybe not, but all their earlier material kinda falls into that genre category, though I don't want to over label anything.
You'll really get goosebumps when you realize what the song is about
Apparently my aesthetic is certified bangers with emotionally devastating lyrics.
It's great discovering an amazing artist for the first time.
Timecop 1983. Do it. Asap. Start with "girl"
It really is fuckkk
Fuck this is so perfect, I honestly can't remember the last time I heard anything this good. And combined with the video it's just insane. How does this masterpiece only have 200k views???!!!
That’s quite a lot lol
@@EmilyRose1 your dad’s quite a lot
Just checking in. I was asked to come here by Emily's dad. He is indeed quite a lot.
This is incredible, wig in the mercurial world
Love everything about this song, but that synth that comes in 3:29 in particular just gets me.
absolute goosebumps
As someone with Synesthesia I experience colors and sound when tasting or observing and listening and I felt like I was surrounded by a broken kaleidoscope from the incredible production and mastery here. The vocal is haunting and transcendental and the melodies are glowing.
Do you visually see the colors or is it an internal feeling?
@@kittymaid420 Honestly both. I see colors and shapes the most when listening to music and I envision a lot internally when that music has an emotional resonance with me.
As another person with synesthesia, god I’m so glad someone understands.
I love this comment. I don't have synesthesia but I have Dissociative disorder so I daydream most of my life away. The video is definitely what I imagined what it would sound like. A sunset, a solumn expression, flashing lights, robots, a soft way of dancing. They really did the music justice with this video.
I don't have synesthesia, but I honestly think their music is the closest I can get to experiencing that.
the green screen era is over 😭 but this is seriously amazing
This makes me sad and happy at the same time. Cause for me that gonna be My Golden Bay Era ✨💞
@@maurocpalacios Yeah, it's gonna be weird when they're pop super stars, but as long as they keep making this amazing music 😵 everything will be fine… It was not so much an era as it was a small budget tho 😬; they've stated the only time their record label could give them a video budget was for "Venice", which is their only other "professional" looking video, so this is exciting 😱
@@Gacu001 I'll also to this 'convo' that it's perfect timing know that things are sorta going back to normal this summer
@@Gacu001 I'm gonna miss that era too😓
Wrong. History repeats always. We all know this.
Chaeri please 🥺 you're killing meee 😌 its only that bad, it's only that bad if you tell yourself you'll never get outta bed. 💫😎💕🎶
I still cannot stop listening to this a year later, the power this has
still very much a repeated listen :)
@@ytuuy1 Same.
yep, certified timeless bop
The absolute euphoric lead in to this song after Something for 2 which already has you feeling goosebumps just amplifies this song to another level.
YEESSSSSS I was just thinking about the transition! It's subtle but perfect!!
I've just loved the evangelion and ghost in shell references. So beautiful!
Magdalena Bay was the musical discovery of the year so far. I'm in awe.
Not gonna lie...
This song, alongside the rest of the album, is one hell of a fever dream and I LOVE IT
The last minute is pure euphoria and therapy, please please extend it into a part 2
Best thing to ever grace my ears
Why am i just discovering this band? I really like this song.
these music videos are criminally underviewed
You're right but the algorithm is about to wash them into another category beyond their comprehension
I can't stop coming back to this
This track is one of the best things I've heard in my fucking life. What on earth.
Every once in a while I come here to admire this masterpiece. I'm still in awe.
Man I really love her voice. Some of the lyrics feeling a lot like wallowing in a depressive episode and then after being upset at yourself for not trying harder to get up. Getting Serial Experiments Lain vibes from the scenes. :)
I got big Chobits energy so something is speaking anime sci fi innit
Every time I think I've found my favorite Magdalena Bay song, I hear the next one and it's as good or better. And repeat...
3:56 one of the beast ending peaks to a song I've ever heard
damn this is too good. the deep bass and the soft voice. keep up the good work!
0:11 It's midnight, I'm tired and doing college work, and I legit thought that guy was walking up to her with a vine in hand and he was just gonna chuck it at her.
lol same I thought mat just had a giant branch 😂
loving the MK Ultra aesthetics
the future of music is here.
Generational banger
Chaeri please.. you're killing meee.
dear god, it's finally here! the album cycle has finally begun mag baes :( what a perfect single and music video!
Arguably their greatest single and music video concept so far. Such evocative chord changes and keyboard production along with a timely mental health message in the lyrics....
Goldfrapp meets 2021 keyboard production values..
I listened to MB(Killshot only) long time ago and before shuffled Goldfrapp and I got this song so this must be accurate.
This song has so much power and more people have to hear it.
Last time I was comparably staggered when I listened entire Pink Floyd discography over 15 years ago.
You deserve all the success. There's nothing quite like Magdalena Bay.
2:40 THIS PART?? I'M OBSESSED.
we are now in the Mercurial World timeline
So underrated song
This song is really fabulous
Every time I come back to watch this video I get annoyed that it hasn't reached 1 million views yet. The world is still asleep to Mag Bay. LET IT COME ALIVE, LET IT GROW.
Such a great underrated song. I saw them live and they really give in that wow factor. Cant wait for them to get big!!
Literally obsessed with the key change at the beginning of this song. I've listen to just those 3 seconds on repeat for hours.
The quality of this song and especially the music video are on point!! I hope this blows up 🙏🏾
Exactly
That breakdown at the end is lich rally orgasmic omg
Love the Serial Experiments Lain vibes 🔌
u guys have improved so much ily
Takes me back to the early 90s when I was discovering techno/trance for the first time. Christ, this is amazing.
This made me excited about music again
This song is the reason,i started singing as a hobby :D
I don't generally listen to this style of music but I can tell there's something going on here conceptually that I appreciate. I guess that's the first step on the road to true belief ;)

Czytaj w pionie
One of my favorite songs.
I've never become so obsessed with a song so fast before. This is the most unique track I've ever heard. What a masterpiece
absolutely dark
absolutely beautiful
It's a goddamn crime how underrated this song, and video is. May this change swiftly! Magdalena Bay 4lyfe!!!!11
The song. The video. SO GOOD. You guys are killing it. Cant wait for the album.
Holy Smokes! I've got goosebumps. Mercurial World LFG!
Excellent breakdown, escalation to climax in the end. Pure gold songwriting, very very impressive
it's the intro. The intro literally makes this amazing.
magdalena bay my new fav wtf
This song is phenomenal. It's like CHVRCHES and Lane 8 and a number of other artists put together.
I will never get over this song
cherry please you’re killing me 😭
I'm late to the party. I love them!
please let this blow up the world needs to see it
coolest band on the planet!! 🙌
This song still gives me chills. 💙
feels like a blessing when you find an artist that is so perfectly your taste. i cannot stop listening to magdalena bay
Straight fire. Edit: not only do i still agree with my previous statement. it might be the most epic edm song i've heard. the build up is insane. just pumpin up and up and up THEN ........... epic.
the production giving me ghost in the shell/blade runner vibes
Your website is absolutely bonkers, come to Portland soon!
Holy fuck the best pop of at least two decades, lightning in a bottle
This is one of their best I feel
I'm obsessed byeee👋👋👋
this is exactly what i'm trying to get the youtube algorithm to steal me toward. fresh, fresh sound.
So glad I decided to check this out in my Spotify suggestions. This is the synthpop I crave. The sound and the look are a really fresh take on "futuristic" synthpop. Absolutely loving it. I am along for this ride.
The best tune in a decade.
Omg the visuals
ikkk😭
who ever needed a fugue state to escape give yourself a round of applause WHOO!!
This is awesome.
I can't get enough of Magdalena Bay! This song and video is absurdly perfect
This is the best song that humans on this planet ever witnessed so far. And I got to hear it live. Mindblowing.
😂
This is fire.
