Nick's a fucking genius!! So glad I live this era just for people and musicians like him! Awesome track, as usual! Keep on rocking, Nick. Love you, man. Come to México!
I'm late to the party-found this song three days ago, but I know I've listened to it about thirty times already. Reading through these comments I'm seeing this song has the same effect on a lot of us here. Nick is amazing.
I feel so sorry for him. The song is truly sad but everything in the song makes this song what it is. A depressing masterpiece. He feels guilty for not being there for his Grandparent when they were sick. This person eventually died and Nick was never there to say good bye and such he feels guilty. He’s trying to make amends for not being there for one by spending time with the others. He never wants to feel like guilty about not doing enough again, so he does everything he can. That is what the song represents.
Such a damn fine tune. Still adore it. That soaring yet melancholic finish is the ultimate thing to maneuver your body to, as per TV-head man in the clip.
He was right Every time, like every time He was right But I'm dumb, an awful son I didn't let it ruin my night I just sighed Then when I finally cried I found out the old girl finally died, she finally died But I don't wanna feel that again Selfish and uncaring Guilt's a fucking awful pain I don't wanna feel that again Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age I watched the next test bowl for bowl With grandpa and his mortal soul I helped Ayelsa with the garden They’re both getting really old Really really old I walked a hundred k's round Carmel with a fucking cup of tea The cricket can be pretty harmful but that won’t bother me But I don't wanna feel that again Selfish and uncaring Guilt's a fucking awful pain I don't wanna feel that again Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age But I don't wanna feel that again Selfish and uncaring Guilt's a fucking awful pain No I don't wanna feel that again Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age
Thank you so much! The "help Ayelsa with the garden" line was the one I couldn't make out. You should post this above under the thread by Melissa Barrass where everybody's trying to figure out the exact lyrics!
Absolutely amazing song, can't wait for the album!!! I wonder if the same guy who did the Optimizer for MGMT's new album had anything to do with this video
Not sure. I do believe that the video Pond did for "Fantastic Explostion Of Time" is very similar to this one, and Pond are friends with MGMT, so it's possible.
I think this is about his Grandparents who lived in Carmel, WA. Just trying to decipher the lyrics. Help? He was right. Everytime, like every time. He was right. (something here???) I didn't let it ruin my night, I just sighed. Then when, I finally cried, I found out the old girl finally died, she finally died. Chorus: But I don't wanna feel that again, selfish and uncaring, it's a fucking awful pain. and I don't wanna feel that again, smoking in the (carpark and lying about my age?) (Something here??) With grandpa and his mortal soul I helped (??? with the gun,) grandpa getting really old, really really old. Walkin 100k's round Carmel where the fucking (???) (???) (chorus)
I think you're getting close, I'm dying to find the right lyrics and maybe even ask Nick about it, this song is freakin' brutal, in the most delicious apocalyptic kind of way.
"But I'm dumb, an awful son"? "Smoking in the car park while I lie about my age" "I walk 100 k's round Carmel with a fucking cup of tea. The ??? can be pretty harmful but that won't bother me" My best guesses at filling in some of the blanks.
Random question, but is there any name to the style of dancing that starts at the end of the video? (Like around 3:13 until the end) It's super catchy and I want to find some more...
Could someone upload the lyrics? im not a native english speaker plus i think the lyrics are not so clear. I looked around google but there are no lyrics written. thanks
me kind of drunk, kind of high, definitely questioning something that determines reality, 3:AM the morning, driving my car a bit too fast, with a cactus plant in the back seat.
Okay I was watching this and it felt really familiar... Then I remembered. I feel like Thom Yorke's "Last I Heard" is somehow subconsciously ripping this song off, but like, with all of the colors removed? I can't explain it because I guess they're not that similar but...
He was right, every time, like every time, he was right, ah-ah By the dawn of the sun I didn't let it ruin my night, I just sighed and then when I finally cried, I found out the old girl finally died, she finally died But I don’t want to feel that again selfish and uncaring guilt's a fucking awful pain And I don’t want to feel that again Smoking in the car park while I lie about my age I watch the next test bowl for bowl, grandpa and his mortal soul, ah-ah I help your still with the garden, and grandpa getting really old, really-really old I'm walking 100 k's 'round Carmel with the fucking cuppa tea, yeah The cooking can be pretty harmful but that won't bother thee, no-no, no-no But I don’t want to feel that again selfish and uncaring guilt's a fucking awful pain And I don’t want to feel that again Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age But I don’t want to feel that again selfish and uncaring guilt's a fucking awful pain But I don’t want to feel that again Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age I think the song is about how when he lived with his grandparents as a kid growing up, he goes out one night to smoke weed for one of his first times in the car park with some older teens and ends up staying out all night until morning. When he comes back home he finds his grandmother died and he wasn't there for his grandfather when it happened and this is his source of his "selfish and uncaring, guilt's a fucking awful pain." So he tries his best to be a better grandson and he helps his grandfather with his garden any chance he gets "help your still with the garden", and never complains about the cooking "the cooking can be pretty harmful but that won't bother thee", but still only occasionally and extremely cautiously experiments with marijuana or "watch(es)the next test bowl for bowl", but every time he can't bare the paranoia that it will happen again and that will be when his grandfather dies too.

i have replayed this song so many times
It's like crack to me, the video is so perfect for the song too.
I own about 5000 of these views..
I'm late to the party-found this song three days ago, but I know I've listened to it about thirty times already. Reading through these comments I'm seeing this song has the same effect on a lot of us here. Nick is amazing.
just found this again after like 8 years, still amazing
Nick don't never die, the world needs you
the drums, the guitar melody, that low, dirty ass synth that comes in during the hook
I feel so sorry for him. The song is truly sad but everything in the song makes this song what it is. A depressing masterpiece. He feels guilty for not being there for his Grandparent when they were sick. This person eventually died and Nick was never there to say good bye and such he feels guilty. He’s trying to make amends for not being there for one by spending time with the others. He never wants to feel like guilty about not doing enough again, so he does everything he can. That is what the song represents.
This makes me smile.
Such a damn fine tune. Still adore it. That soaring yet melancholic finish is the ultimate thing to maneuver your body to, as per TV-head man in the clip.

He was right
Every time, like every time
He was right
But I'm dumb, an awful son
I didn't let it ruin my night
I just sighed
Then when I finally cried
I found out the old girl finally died, she finally died
But I don't wanna feel that again
Selfish and uncaring
Guilt's a fucking awful pain
I don't wanna feel that again
Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age
I watched the next test bowl for bowl
With grandpa and his mortal soul
I helped Ayelsa with the garden
They’re both getting really old
Really really old
I walked a hundred k's round Carmel with a fucking cup of tea
The cricket can be pretty harmful but that won’t bother me
But I don't wanna feel that again
Selfish and uncaring
Guilt's a fucking awful pain
I don't wanna feel that again
Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age
But I don't wanna feel that again
Selfish and uncaring
Guilt's a fucking awful pain
No I don't wanna feel that again
Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age

top work
this is so great
Man this shit is sweet and kaleidoscopic
I would love to buy all this label's label.
y e S !
Hearing that tiny little intro gives me a little eargasm every time. This song is a masterpiece... But i guess alot of Nick's work is!
I think that he is Syd Barrett out generation ! He's very talented and he has a lot of ideas on songs ! I really adore him 😊
Why can’t he be the Nick Albrook of our generation? Let us allow artists to be themselves without comparing them to others.
Arrepia até a alma
under rated
loving that fat synth in the chorus, its so delicious
You're so fucking right...
Totalmente!!!! It just buries me
Keep doing your thing brotha
So good :D
great song
This guy has such an incredible, smooth mind... would be rad to know him
ARGGGGGHHH!
Amazing
reminds me of lsd dream emulator. amazing song
YES YES YES
Awesome
I think this is about his Grandparents who lived in Carmel, WA. Just trying to decipher the lyrics. Help?
He was right. Everytime, like every time. He was right.
(something here???) I didn't let it ruin my night, I just sighed.
Then when, I finally cried, I found out the old girl finally died, she finally died.
Chorus: But I don't wanna feel that again, selfish and uncaring, it's a fucking awful pain.
and I don't wanna feel that again, smoking in the (carpark and lying about my age?)
(Something here??) With grandpa and his mortal soul
I helped (??? with the gun,) grandpa getting really old, really really old.
Walkin 100k's round Carmel where the fucking (???)
(???)
(chorus)
I think you're getting close, I'm dying to find the right lyrics and maybe even ask Nick about it, this song is freakin' brutal, in the most delicious apocalyptic kind of way.
"But I'm dumb, an awful son"?
"Smoking in the car park while I lie about my age"
"I walk 100 k's round Carmel with a fucking cup of tea. The ??? can be pretty harmful but that won't bother me"
My best guesses at filling in some of the blanks.
nice work, we will get it soon!
'I watched the next test bowl for bowl for grandpa and his mortal soul'?? Is what I hear haha
I was thinking, bow for bowl, cricket - Australia but idk
That was the most scariest, creepiest song and video I've ever heard lol But it was pretty dope
this is soo nick) everything about it xD
estupendo
Just ABSOLUTELY acid.
This is a different kind of drug, this is my fix.
Hay veces que quiero gritar cosas como esta, afortunadamente Nick las recreo en canción y puedo cantarla muy fuerte!
Trippy.
this is what i'm talkin bout
Random question, but is there any name to the style of dancing that starts at the end of the video? (Like around 3:13 until the end)
It's super catchy and I want to find some more...
Could someone upload the lyrics? im not a native english speaker plus i think the lyrics are not so clear. I looked around google but there are no lyrics written. thanks
me kind of drunk, kind of high, definitely questioning something that determines reality, 3:AM the morning, driving my car a bit too fast, with a cactus plant in the back seat.
Trooper zebra nick with TV head dancing and doing unreal shit. Well I liked...
dos años y tantos meses haciendo de esto una adiccion
yes
who did the video??
Okay I was watching this and it felt really familiar... Then I remembered. I feel like Thom Yorke's "Last I Heard" is somehow subconsciously ripping this song off, but like, with all of the colors removed? I can't explain it because I guess they're not that similar but...
Fucking awesome.
Sounds like a Brian Molko-Connan Mockasin colab, both drunk.
Viajei demais @.@
Has anybody figured out the tabs for this song??
Oh how I would love to know the chords for this one.
CosmicBollocks I believe the chorus is:
C maj7 - D min7- D min13 - G7
I thought cyriak and those "meow meow i am a cat/bow wow i am a dog" vids were bad
I still have some of those saved on my external HDD
nose si tendrá algún mensaje subliminal esta canción pero no la puedo dejar de escuchar
cool
reminds me of the old radiohead
is so 90's
this reminds me so much of MGMT's optimizer
Nick makes me feel gay. Best musician and personality I've ever seen. I hope he makes much much more of this beauty.
Fuckin sweet
Schweeeet
Does anyone have a good idea as to what the song is about?
He was right, every time, like every time, he was right, ah-ah
By the dawn of the sun I didn't let it ruin my night, I just sighed
and then when I finally cried, I found out the old girl finally died, she finally died
But I don’t want to feel that again
selfish and uncaring guilt's a fucking awful pain
And I don’t want to feel that again
Smoking in the car park while I lie about my age
I watch the next test bowl for bowl, grandpa and his mortal soul, ah-ah
I help your still with the garden, and grandpa getting really old, really-really old
I'm walking 100 k's 'round Carmel with the fucking cuppa tea, yeah
The cooking can be pretty harmful but that won't bother thee, no-no, no-no
But I don’t want to feel that again
selfish and uncaring guilt's a fucking awful pain
And I don’t want to feel that again
Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age
But I don’t want to feel that again
selfish and uncaring guilt's a fucking awful pain
But I don’t want to feel that again
Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age

Too fucking right haha
He was right
Every time, like every time
He was right
But I'm dumb, an awful son
I didn't let it ruin my night
I just sighed
Then when I finally cried
I found out the old girl finally died, she finally died
But I don't wanna feel that again
Selfish and uncaring

Selfish and uncaring
Guilt's a fucking awful pain
I don't wanna feel that again
Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age
But I don't wanna feel that again
Selfish and uncaring
Guilt's a fucking awful pain
No I don't wanna feel that again
Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age
what would it be "100 k's 'round" ???
+Edson Graphixo what do you mean?
There is no need to hit the dislike button..
probably unintentional, but is anyone else getting a mac demarco slacker vibe here? great song though
lyrics?
He was right
Every time, like every time
He was right
But I'm dumb, an awful son
I didn't let it ruin my night
I just sighed
Then when I finally cried
I found out the old girl finally died, she finally died

But I don't wanna feel that again
Selfish and uncaring
Guilt's a fucking awful pain
I don't wanna feel that again
Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age
But I don't wanna feel that again
Selfish and uncaring
Guilt's a fucking awful pain
No I don't wanna feel that again
Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age
This song is fucking evil!
I S T H I S V A P O R W A V E ?
pazzesco
This song is about overdosing on tramadol
