3-South just brought me here to this amazing song played in the intro. Man I was just exploring MTV’s past and see how awesome MTV was back then
"cuz i'm a man, not a boy. there are things you can't avoid, you have to face them, when you're not prepared to face them."
you have no idea how much this smacked me in the face when i first heard it.
It's the best line of the song. It's beautiful simplicity is quite powerful.
Simple but powerful
I think this is one of the best advice that anyone could receive
That, and 'for to lose I could accept but to surrender
I just wept and regretted this moment' - it's so true but oddly not the way I looked at it before I heard this incredible song.
Me too, way back in 2003 I think
It might have smacked you because it sounds exactly like "Father and Son" by Cat Stevens. That's why he shares a writing credit.
3South brought me here years ago can’t believe it’s been 20 years since that show was on MTV my Youth!!!
They should bring it back
I'm mad it's only one season @@Chevymansilv9908
@@Chevymansilv9908 even if they did it will never be as good as the original.
@@RufusMcHerbertespecially since one of the writers/consultants died this year in January
Those bass synths are juicier than a piece of bubblicious. ❤️
some of the sexiest base lines ive ever heard. especially when they throw a bunch of reverb on that one single note haha!
The lips are juiciful
Judt like cat stevens 🙃
nice reference is see...
Who is playing that delicious bass? Is that Steven? Or Ivans? Whoever, that is some addictive music!
This song gets me teary eyed because it reminds me of my own life.
I cry every time I F hear this song 👍🏾
Ah, that's the idea...
This is the best example of a forgotten gem, Ted Lasso using this was absolute nostalgia for me and such a beautiful way to end the season.
Damn you Lasso. Also, reminds me of 3 South.
After my first Flaming Lips show I was walking out of the venue and I said, I feel really happy. Everyone in ear shot looked at me and smiled.
I hope you are still happy
Yoshimi is the most gut wrenchingly gorgeous Lips album. Fight Test exclaims it.
Never knew the song that was the opener for 3-South. Gotta listen to more Flaming Lips.
God I love this era of the band.
I miss the the early 90's songs!
@@prozacpeople
Isnt this one from the early 00s?
@@standinsilence Correct, this is 2002. But I believe the person above you was probably just talking about their favorite era.
For me this song is about growing up and gradually accepting the fact that you are not "smart" or "cool", and that you have to "stand up and be a man" instead of indulging yourself with childish fantasies. Such a powerful song everyone can empathize with.
Its honestly a masterpiece the lyrics speak of him not being able to fight and regretting letting him take her and the video shows him fighting and in both he still loses the girl. Which also goes to show no matter what some things just are not meant to happen, accepting the humility that we are only ourselves is one of the biggest obstacles in becoming mature and having the courage and confidence to get what you what you deserve in life.
I love TFL and have seen them live many times in The UK but this is so obviously plagiarised from Cat Stevens Father and Son. Cat won in court and earned 75% of the royalties from this song.
@@chadandcalebsadventures4950 sometimes you lose the fight in winning. Sometines you fight and lose.
But if you don't fight, you lose twice
I am glad others get it.
Wow, that makes me sad that you feel that way about his song. _Stop using your imagination and get an office job_ and "be a man"....no thanks. 😶
I first heard this on Smallville (even have the Talon Mix CD they put out) when I was about 10-11. Now to hear it on Ted Lasso it just adds to the nostalgia and emotions.
THAT'S where I first heard this! It's been driving me crazy for years! Thank you!
3 south was such a a good show
Thank you, TED LASSO !!! ❤❤❤
3 South is what introduced me to this song
Why do I keep seeing people coming to old school vids saying that? So trippy. Just enjoy it?
this is one of those songs that gave me some sort of self-realization that sometimes i have to stand up and fight for myself.
the line, "if i could, i would. but you're with him now, it'd do no good" really hit home for me; if only i realized that sooner.
It's never too late to learn this lesson.
Ppp]p
I always loved this song, but add it to the Ted Lasso finale and it hits even better.
and following "father and son" made it sweeter.
Yip.
and made me love the show even more, cried like crazy!!!
Ya when it followed the song it ripped off lol
@@jackprottiClearly why they used both songs together.
The Flaming Lips turned me into a hippie and I couldn't be happier!
This was the song that I first showed my girlfriend 3 years ago to introduce her to the flaming lips and she’s been a fan ever since.
最高です!
締め付けられます😊
"Yoshimi..." é um dos discos mais importantes da minha vida. Marcou demais minha adolescência e início da minha jornada adulta; e tudo começou com essa música.
If you get a chance to see these guys do it. Such a happy and fun show. Wayne and the guys put on a great show.
"I thought there was a virtue, in always being cool."
To any young men watching this. FIGHT! There is no honor in giving up. There is honor in fighting even if you lose.
His voice is so beautiful
A friend of mine used to play this album all the time and this is the the song that stuck out the most to me. he passed away 3 years ago. RIP Broc. Hope you found some measure of peace.
oh ted lasso, you are so good
Thank God. I was in the right place at the right time...listening to Flaming Lips
Finally, 18 year after, i can find that wonderfull song. I hear for the first Time, thanks for my favourite TV show Smallville ❤❤❤
One of the most underrated bands of all time. Their live performances even more so......
listening to this song now as an adult makes me tear up every time…
Amo esta canción! Todo es genial en ella, la voz, la música, la letra, el mensaje, el video, todo! Definitivamente una de mis favoritas!
What a weird and amazing song
ripped off CAT STEVENS Father and Son
@@joebloggs8636 songs can't sound similar? You do understand how music works right?
@@joebloggs8636 hey you jagoff. Two songs having the same chord progression doesn't ripoff.
Tbe most ultimate feeling of love I,ever experienced,came,after a Flaming Lips concert. Thanks Wayne. It was at the Norva at Virginia Beach. "Point your lasers at Wayne" flashed on the screen and we did. (Laser pointers were handed out before the show) It was 2008ish.
Their music helped shape me into a good person. (By replacing potential bad with good.)
I kinda think this is the best song of all time. Also.. Shoutout 3 South.
The test begins now
I thought I was smart
I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue
In always being cool
So it came time to fight
I thought I'll just step aside
And that the time would prove you wrong
And that you would be the fool
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And that the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
Oh, to fight is to defend
If it's not now then tell me when would be the time
That you would stand up and be a man
For to lose I could accept
But to surrender I just wept
And regretted this moment
Oh that I
I was the fool
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And that the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
Cause I'm a man, not a boy
And there are things you can't avoid
You have to face them
When you're not prepared to face them
If I could, I would
But you're with him, I'd do no good
I should have fought him
But instead I let him
I let him take you
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And that the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And that the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
'Cause I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
And I don't know where the sunbeams end
And that the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
Mystery
The test is over now
🙏🏼
Did you make the lyrics?
@@AlejandroGarza2024 yes i'm the writer how can you not know that
Because you like it.
@@AlejandroGarza2024 exactly
This always reminds me of Mark and Lard on Radio 1. They used to champion the Flaming Lips and play their songs a lot.
Shouts goes out to 3 south for this gem
Shout out to 3 South. My favorite mediocre cartoon.
It’s sooo mediocre but I still watched the whole thing lol
@gonz22 if you recall how Beavis from Beavis and butthead has small spurts of competent intelligence this show in the same way has small spurts of good writing then falls back on poopoo humor because for the sake of plot one of our main characters is a complete infantile moron and I love every fucking second of this dynamic.
I can usually say why a song is so good or at least why I love it. But I can't describe how this song is so great and why it's always made me feel like it does. I can't put my finger on it or explain it. I guess it's all a mystery...
this is me. I cannot explain why this song makes me feel the things it does, but it's been doin it for over 20 years now
Found the group yesterday
This song should be more famous
Best song off of this album, by far! Ok, not true...most of the album is magnificent!
I was 18 in 05, I had gone to LA for the first time, meeting this gorgeous half thai, half lithuanian girl at a party my uncle had been invited to. the chemistry was instant, and incredible.
She flew me out a month or so later, and played this hauntingly beautiful song. I was in a trance, she crawled on top of me, and sat on my lap in her place in long beach CA, then blew my mind that night, and for the next few years.
Ill never forget it, or her. Thanks, Kat. You’ll always be the one that got away. Maybe next time around.
Damn that's an awesome story man
Do you still have her number?
Next life man
Great white buffalo
Oh man love this story but want more...how did she get away? Any chance of a second chapter? We all have that one that got away...sliding doors eh? How life could be different
might have taken a great deal of the verse melody/chords from Father and Son, but the chorus of this song is so memerable
Takes me waaaay back 👌👌
This is the one. The one I really like
The chorus is brilliant.
3 South MTV 2002.
The classic theme of 3-South.
This is how you start an album
Very good sound. Translating to southern Brazilian Portuguese: baita som. Hugs!
This song will be a classic.
Never heard of this band before, but these lyrics are so powerful, that you to writing such a great song.
I remember randomly flipping channels to grammy awards (around this song's release) knowing that bob dylan was going to perform. Amazing to see these guy kick off that trio performance, followed by The Avett Brothers, Bob Dylan, and then all of them played in the finale. First time hearing Mumford and Avett bros, so hands one of my fav performances. Probably the only performance at the grammys where the talent actually played instruments and sang
the real fight test is whether or not your speakers can handle this at full volume. Two sets of car audio have thus far lost on my count.
Awesome 👍
Lol
Perfect!!!! 🤣🤣
Fact
I cannot fathom hearing this at the end of Ted Lasso
theyve been one of my favorite bands since 2009 and to hear them in mainstream made me so happy
3 South showed me this classic
Love this BAND
Simply brilliant.
Eu me apaixonei por essa banda mas essa música em questão sei lá, primeira vez que eu ouvir me passou uma vibe muito foda e qnd li a tradução, ela me ajudou em um momento difícil.
best song ever
Great song, great band!
The test begins: now now now now now now now.......
Seems to me, the test is always going, infinitly
Great comment!
Lovely voice yes!

2023_04_28. ..... "☆ it's all still a mystery☆
Thank you ! Can't wait for your show in pdx
I love the lyrics
Não ouvia essa música há muito tempo... Cara, que saudade deu agora...
It sounds like Cat Steven's Father and Son but I love it!
Cat Stevens sued them and now gets 75% of profits from this song
Glenn Ross
I hear it was 1/4 or 25%
Don Monmouth I READ that it was Stevens gets 75% from the song, if reading is better than hearing lol .but that aside, it goes against Cat Stevens image ,but I think its the record companies that own the rights who sue not the actual artist, so maybe Stevens himself gets 25% and the record company gets the other 50% and the Flaming lips get the last 25%
There are loads of songs that sound like others songs and it's odd how only a few few sued
Theresa Ocampo I listened to both and they sound nothing like each other
I can't believe how good this song is vs how many people know it. I love this
Perfect song to end Ted Lasso with, now that Ted returned to Kansas it's time for him to fight for what he wants.
Love this song. A song for all men...
kamran102 2019 “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore: (“Respect and dignity!”) • “Respect and dignity, 2019?”
Shoutout 3South lol. Good ass show.
This still holds true today... nice guys finish last with the girls.
For me, this song goes out to an old b.f. who I later understood regretted the end of our relationship. How would I have known that when he never stood up or mentioned anything about it to me, nor did he fight for us to stay together. We were both musicians - & I loved that, but we were very young still in highschool...
If you loved him you would have known
pps I was once at a concert, and somebody missed Flaming Lips, and they asked me how they were, and I said I felt they were "majestic."
ppps But I am not really a big concert goer and in that sense I am easily impressed. Relatively speaking.
My toddler digs this album
Recuerdo este tema en la serie de smallville, después me obsesione y busque el disco de the talón mix, soundtrack de la serie, muy bueno!
I really don't think Cat Stevens needs a writing credit on this song, but apparently the Flaming Lips were happy to give it.
this music always perfect I think the voices like it too
one of the best damn hip hop tracks of 2003
Been a fan of The Flaming Lips since 2013 but Ted Lasso brought me back here
Lost it when I heard this at the end of Ted Lasso 😢
Wait wait you're telling me it took me 20 years to realize this song is not called FLIGHT test???
It does sound similar, different instruments, different tempo, but similar. I can see why homie sued. Both great songs.
I can hear Father and Son right thro this song
Was just about to write that 👌
I can’t thank goodness!
You don't have to go looking for violence, it will find you. It finds us all.
Stand up for what is right. Be a man.
These Days! I love this Band! 🤠🤠🤑
Congrats on 1 million
luv it
3 south forever
Great song - just discovered it recently 🎸
Stolen from 1970 Cat Stevens Father and Son
@@joebloggs8636 LOL true
3-south
It's a mystery how this song just appeared in my life when it did. Made life look a bit more 3D
Same.
I never thought I would say this, but 3 South brought me here.
My heart breaks every time I hear this song. And then I listen again
