LYRICS:
I put the groceries down on the front lawn
and think maybe the children just want recognition
I wrote the fairytale on a midnight drive
Wanting to know if I’m more than alive
I torched the fields again
Killed an honest man
Now I understand Mother Nature
Watch me running head-first into the thorns
It’s like the lights are off but somebody’s home
Unwrap that tourniquet ‘round the sun
Turn those subtle reds into neon
You’ll see the difference when it’s done,
But I understand your hesitation
Come take a walk with me down billionaire’s row
Trying to keep our balance over zero
We’ll write the fairytale for the rest of our lives
Throwing the trash away one more time
Holding on to Love like a stone
Melting down today for tomorrow’s
Covenant of the heart
You know it’s turbulent from the start
And I understand it’s not your nature
But you need a friend
To take you home
You’ve got to begin again
To open castle gates and let me go inside
and taste the bitter tea that won’t let you hide
Then we can take away as much as we can steal
Break all the precious bones before the guards appear
Before the fantasy is cast into the fire
And strike the temple bell to resonate
The Covenant of the heart
You know what comes right after the dark,
But I understand your hesitation
#MGMT #MotherNature #LossOfLife
There's something really touching about seeing MGMT go through so many periods of cynicism towards the music industry and world to coming out with such a pleasant song about appreciating the friendship you've carried through it all. It's so easy to give in to our pain and frustrations but this is a great reminder (at least for me) that there's more to life than that.
New Sincerity?
hard
It’s about friendship in a dystopian society
The song, Nothing Changes
so glad they’re still making music, and it sounds like the best parts of their entire discography combined
this
@outranked
This is good, but nowhere close to Congratulations, Oracular Spectacular, or their self-titled album. But I look forward to hearing the entire album.
@@Joseph-nh6in Gotta disagree. Much better than self titled, and probably on the same level as congratulations and some of the weaker oracular spectacular tacks.
@brrts how the heck does anyone not love the self-titled album. Alien Days, Plenty of girls in the sea, I love you too death, orphan of fortune? Maybe you should play it on some high quality speakers and lay in the dark and listen to it.
@@Joseph-nh6in I definitely like the self titled album (especially I love you too death).I think all of MGMTs music is pretty good. I just think it’s weaker than the first two and also the new album if it sounds like these singles.
Dang... I'm 59, not many songs make me cry. The words are perfect for an issue eating at me. This new song just did that, tears, Thanks MGMT.
Not to gatekeep what people like but IMO MGMT is one of the few truly great musical artists that my zoomer generation got to experience
What's the issue? Let's get thru this. Together.
59 years old and crying over this... lol. Be a man.
Crying with you brother
@@sk8tann be a man
Its the only band, that I always look up for their updates and this year i am happy of this new album, much love from. BALI Indonesia
MGMT dropping this while I'm having a literal emotional breakdown is a sign that I'm gonna be okay.
I fucking love you guys, thank you
keep going friend
❤
Wishing you happiness
Keep your head held high and know that you're not alone. God bless you, and I hope everything works itself out 🙂
They are dropping it in February though, so I hope you can find happiness, you have a little less than 3 months.
This bittersweet song made me bawl my eyes out. As today was my last day of highschool and it just reminds me of all of the people I ever known and all of my experiences up to this point. It really is a tear wrencher of a song.
Just when we needed them most.... they returned. This means so much to me.
I lost my best friend recently so I like to think of the turtle and wolf guy as me and my buddy living on in the video.
Men I hope you find happiness, I send you my best wishes
❤❤❤
I’m crying, MGMT has been a band that has been with me through it all. I can’t wait to make new memories with them once again
This!!! I hope that the guys can see all these comments since it's a new video and they know what an impact they've had on people's lives.
Nice pfp
First album I ever bought was Congratulations in 2010. I’ve been in love with MGMT for a long time as well :)
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Mgmt have always been good they never had to be popular I thought they always made some good art, that’s what they’re really in it for they really never wanted to be famous or sell out really
I listened to oracular spectacular yesterday while driving and on the handshake they have the lyrics “I’ll try not to let them take everything they can steal”…
And in Mother Nature the lyrics are “then we can take away as much as we can steal”… and i think this is a potent reckoning
great catch!
Wow very capitalist of Andrew wow

First time for a first listen of a new MGMT song that I’ve ever gotten chills , insane
My first listen was three listens in a row. I never do that.
Im getting Eliot Smith vibes!!!
When You Die was the first time for me
Same
Same
I knew the turtle would lead us to a brighter future! The last album has been the soundtrack to some of the best times in my life and has had a significant impact on me as a musician. I still play 'When You Die' every time I DJ. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart 💜 Can't wait for February
I seriously think When you Die is my favorite tune of theirs. It felt like a true culmination of all of the material they've ever released into one track. Perfect mix of experimentation, and commercial music. AMAZING tune!
@@Starky25 agreed. and what a music video 🫠
One of the few bands that’s been extremely cohesive throughout the years. From middle school to now (28 years old) still my all time favorite. Love you guys
29 years old, myself, and MGMT is by far my favorite group ever. Right next to Pink Floyd of all groups. MGMT is without a doubt the modern-day PF.
Same when I was in high school and was a little hippie kid they were my favorite also turning 29 in a couple weeks
29 here too and my absolute fave forever x
30 here- they made my 8th grade experience so great 🥹
They also have been very experimental in some ways. They always feel catchy and similar enough to enjoy but unique enough to have their own sound and creativity.
It's been a million years
That's what Mother Nature said.
It’s always worth the wait.
It's been 84 years
They never disappoint
Ikr?! 👌👍
🕯️📜🙏🤘🙏📜🕯️
The chorus keeps getting stuck in my head, its so damn catchy. Also Andrew is such an underrated lyricist, I love the imagery and metaphors.
3:28, that's what it felt like when I ran away from home, 2004. We slept on top of some building in DC. .... it was cold but i felt so free. I miss that feeling.
What a time to be alive.

- First time for a first listen of a new MGMT song that I’ve ever gotten chills, insane.
In the afternoon probably was that for me. But these two single already sound like it could be their most well written album since Congratulations.
@@millieguitarcrashersince Little Dark Age
thats a shame. they've been putting out bangers for a while now.
Congratulations(?)
This is my 2nd. I remember exactly where I shit my pants when I heard in the afternoon for the first time.
Taste the bitter tea that wont let you hide 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄
I remember listening to mgmt "kids" the first time smoking weed in my bedroom in 2008, living a rough reality, it always took me to a happy go lucky party mentality. 15 years later I'm still loving their music & smoking weed/drinking with my wife in our bedroom in a much better place now. Life's wild & having wild musicians like mgmt makes the ride so much better.
ilysm! I'll always vibe to mgmt with you -wifey 🥰💘
New fan who’s in the middle of a deep dive through their entire discography and I absolutely love this song, can’t wait for the album to come out!
as a new fan whats your fav song that youve come across so far?
@@Kenny-jz2so aside from the Big Three (Time To Pretend, Electric Feel, and Kids) I’d say Of Moons, Birds & Monsters is my favorite. It reminded me so much of one of my favorite Beatles deep cuts Only A Northern Song with their little bits of musique concrète as they fade out. As a progressive rock and psychedelia fan I also really enjoy Siberian Breaks and Metanoia cause they both scratch my brain in just the right spots y’know lol
All great tunes there. Also love 4th dimensional transition, the handshake, flash delirium and tslamp
HOW GOOD IS IT
do yourself a favour and listen to metanoia
@@KealohaHarrisoncool! What’s your fave album so far?
This song will become a classic in a few years
It has the least views of all the videos even though it's the first from the album. But it is the best song writing I've heard in a while, so that surprises me.
Been a fan for 14 years and they still never disappoint :)
I gotta be honest the self-titled album is pretty dissapointing imo
@@MrOboy4 do better then
@@MrOboy4you mean their best
@@MrOboy4if you’re boring. Probably one of the best mastered albums ever. Many details at once with huge dynamic range that reveal themselves if you pay enough attention.
@@MrOboy4average oracular spectacular fan
by far their best work on the album. simple yet powerful in messaging and melancholic. don't get me wrong, the other tracks are fantastic, but they explore more complexities in love and self-consciousness that have often been overdone in other songs. this touches a topic that is never really explored much: friendship. their friendship.
i agree with you, this album is top notch but the song is a masterpiece
I love how half the comments are new fans and the other half are the ones that have been here for 10+ years
It’s the most wholesome stuff they ever did
Maybe a stretch, but the video feels like an homage to Andrew & Ben's relationship as bandmates and their journey.
The turtle has a hat like Ben’s
@@Darmoosh27 totally.. the dog is Andrew and the turtle is ben
I don’t think that’s much of a stretch. There are moments in the video that seem to hint towards that
The song sounds like '90s brit pop... I love it!
It's the anniversary of my sister's passing , I didn't know how much I needed to hear something like this today
Condolences for your loss, and may God bless you and your entire family! I'm glad MGMT was able to bring you a bit of peace on a difficult day.
This getting dropped on my bday is a literal gem, thank you MGMT❤❤❤
Happy birthday to you 🥳
Happy Halloween
Yoooo its my bday too dude, Halloween twins, happy bday fellow skeleton
@@mrdarkshoe Yooo it's actually mine too! Happy halloween my friends
@@ramble_on777 Love finding my fellow Halloween babies in the wild
the lyrics of mgmt are so fucking insane its captivated me for over a 2 decades. im 50 and still love these guys.
crying. absolutely stunning in every way, THIS is how to do a comeback single! instantly timeless, gorgeous song (literally immediately getting Congratulations 2.0 teas), classic cute MGMT video, ugh we couldn’t have asked for more! welcome back kings ♡
I'm right there with you. This song is so touching. What a gorgeous melody. The lyrics are a revelation.
"Revalation" " timeless " c mon guys , chill down , it's just a song
@@mikamusarde6495 chill sis, we’re just offering our opinions
@@joeagger yea and I give mine too so you can chill as well :)
You will know if this track is timeless in 5 or 10 years, not today.
@@mikamusarde6495 fair! hope u have a good rest of ur weekend
I’m absolutely crying, this song is hugging my soul.
I missed your sound. You are my best music soulmates ever
Love you
Thank you
6 years since LDA's pre-album single drop. Welcome home, boys ❤
the first single from all of MGMT album's since i was a kid (13) has made me cry with joy. i will never forget the first time i heard Electric Feel. now, I'm 30 & with a son. Mother Nature is a fitting title to my life as we speak. being able to enjoy a freshly dropped MGMT single with my little warrior is a dream come true!!!! 💙 this album will surely leave it's mark on us both, the good kind 😊 THANK YOU MGMT, please never cease music! we NEED magical musicians like you all ♡
Yo! I'm 32 with a 2 yr old and I chucked this on the tv and to my delight he was dancing and loved the whole video. Raising him on good music 😅
good on you
Beautiful song and video, what a great come back from MGMT.
Congrats, Andrew and Ben! 👏🏻👏🏻
Their music just keeps getting better, and we just keep getting blessed with it. ♥️
Cried with a great big smile when I heard this on release. A magnificent “we’re back” moment. MGMT is the definition of quality over quantity, once again another masterfully polished song as part of a masterfully polished album. Bravo. Bravo.
My favorite band since spring of 2008! Instant classic song that reminds me of a mix of Congratulations era/Self titled and Alien Days! Absolutely here for all of it! So excited for the new album! Love you guys! ❤️
Spring of 08!!! Same here bro. Feb of 08 for me. Kids lmao
Hello. I'm Russian. I'm 18. I'm sorry, I don't speak English. I really want Americans to know that ordinary Russians are not evil, not savages, not murderers. In Russia, this musical group, their music, and themselves are very much loved. Looking at your work, I can't believe that there are many differences between Russians and Americans. I want to believe that all nations will live in peace and harmony.
The Russians love your band very much. Ordinary Russians want all nations to be in friendship.
Dear Americans, please know, like two and two, that ordinary Russians don't want anything terrible for anyone. Russians love American culture, music, literature, and art.
I'm sorry, I don't know your language
Like, Russian, im agree))), не ссы прорвёмся
We know :)
Most people just want to live their lives in peace no matter where they’re from
Your English is great. A lot better than most TH-cam commenters' English.
You don't have to do this. Normal people know that Russians are like everyone else. And russophobic freaks will always be freaks no matter what. Also hypocrisy is hillarious, because majority of americans supported every single war they waged, now that is someone else doing it - they expect people to start revolution and die in process of overthrowing their government.
Sending love from the USA
Yall made 2010s years so great love MGMT Awesome new song !!
Listening to this song is like learning that something good happened to your old friend - a person that you haven't seen in years.
My chicken heard this, now it can fly💚💚
😂😂😂
I swear this band will live forever rent free in my mind and heart
The world needs some true alternative music. Welcome back
I adore everything about this song. Haven't stopped listening it since it was released. I just know this album will be something special.
Mgmt can literally do any genre they want to
A colourful and compassionate musical hug on a dreary, grey November day 🩷 MGMT always presents us with the zeitgeist and inspires us to note and feel everything 🩷 The music is magic 🥲🥰
Really Cool song, has some REO Speedwagon covering the Cheers theme-song vibes… hahaha ahhhh I do like it though
lmao.. i mentioned the REO speedwagon thing to someone last night. 🔥
You guys have been the soundtrack to so many memorable moments in my life. Thank you. Absolutely love this ❤
Really got oasis vibes in here❤❤❤i love that
I thought I was the only one , but some of the chord changes with the melody are reminiscent of oasis
Being here on release is truly monumental 🙏🏽 loved this song seriously

MGMT may have succeeding in making their weirdest music video yet! Wasn’t expecting to see Patrick wimberly steal some animated animals
Most underrated band of all time. I will always defend MGMT
I am so happy, we finally have new music. MGMT is my favorite band. Much love from Brazil. ♥️ 🇧🇷
Honestly this song is one of the best they have ever put out imo, love all their stuff though.
New music from The Voidz and MGMT?! Would be awesome to see them tour together
That dog was doing the Pinegrove Shuffle! 2:38
2:22 this dance 💀
I like this more now that the second single came out. Starting to get the vibe of the album
After checking the subreddit since summer of 2022 for updates on a new studio album, we are finally here. Just a few more months 🙏
The best song of 2023.
Glad to see that the music is still flowing. And the music videos are still out of this world. I love me some MGMT they're always in my rotation ever since HS. And now I'm 29 😂.
I can’t believe this is the first mgmt song release ive been apart of. I will remember this forever. I’m so excited for LOL
this song is such a great single for MGMT to enter their next album cycle. listened to it on repeat all day. haven’t done that to any song in quite awhile. dare I say this is my new favorite MGMT song? trying not to have recency-bias but this is great stuff!
It’s so good!
It’s my favorite I think ..already
Far from my favorite MGMT song, but that's okay. They've released a TON of high-quality music. This is still a DAMN good tune! Happy to hear everyone likes it!
Who else fucking loves this incredible song?!!
I like how the video goes along with the song.
I've been listening to MGMT since 2008, and what then, what now, I can't stop enjoying your music!
I believed in you 15 years ago, I believe in you now, thank you for your work🎉
Legit i just shed a tear. This is perfection😢❤
That’s a life changing song right there
my heart was beating fast the whole time
i am so fucking *_glad_* to have finally been there for a brand new mgmt song release
I listened to this on the way to work, feels nostalgic already!
This has so much "Congratulations" vibe
They still have that magic :')
Its as if these guys have just decided, fuck it, lets do something a bit more conventional (but not too much) just to let them know that we are still some of the best songwriters out today. Brilliant!
Passion Pit vibes 🥹
I'm a new fan, and all I have to say is wow. Thanks, Ben and Andrew for making amazing music
I love how when the dog goes to the park by himself, it's scary. But, when he has his best friend the turtle with him, it's a happy place. The absolute power of friendship, and love, people!
Wow Thank U Jordan Fish for Directing and making this Amazing Video come to Life.
been a fan since oracular this song got me through a long winter. thank u mgmt
Very 90s oasis like, love it
Edit: it reminds me of something else cant pinpoint it?
Like Oasis 🤝 older Flaming Lips
What a bunch of cute animals.
The production on this is super interesting and impressive. Might not seem so at first but there's so much to dig into, and in such a short song as well. It's fresh and new, yet feels unmistakably like MGMT. I love it!
yesss..the song structure is also a trip.. so are some of the seemingly simple progressions. there's a lot more happening under this song than what appears on the surface.
It's a great song!
I'm really happy to have been a part of this project. It was a great experience, and I'm proud of what we achieved together as a team."
I knew this day would come. MGMT have blessed us once again and I can't wait for the full album release
Loss of Life is going to be amazing! Greatest band of ALL TIME!
Y'all mean the world to me, thanks for still making music idk what I'd do without you! May the father and mother nature bless you in your works.
The footprints of that takes off their skateboard are cute
Instant MGMT classic ❤
definitely
I love this song so much I cannot wait for more. Fav artist of all time.
Thanks for coming back. You never disappoint! I hope you have many more successful and popular hits in the future.
I also like how the snake ate that guy at the end.
Hasn't even broken a million views yet. Come on people, these guys bust their asses to deliver some of the best music of our time. It should be cause for celebration whenever new MGMT drops.
Totally agree they're too busy listening to the pop corn radio music
Omg dont make me cry.. heart you guys. Thank you
They hated the industry but the industry still needs some people to save it.
I don't understand how anyone can be so talented and make such sublime music every time. I know it's not easy and they put a lot into it, it's clear they put a lot into this. But when I make music it can feel so artificial. This type of music is timeless. This music is from a place outside of time itself.
Amazing lyrics, amazing video and an amazing song. Strange times.
MGMT is the only band I can count on to come out with new music at every stage in my life. From my 20s and 30s and now my 40s, I hope they’re still making music in my 50s and 60s…and beyond!
