I mean it's not this song but for some reason it matches with my mood. ive been suicidal since i was 11 but i'm finally at peace and for the first time i am excited for the future. something i never thought id be. i used to only see things one way. my charming, jolly, talented dad ended up drunk and homeless. my compassionate, witty mom became a single workaholic. i used to think to myself, she deserves the world and yet this was her ending? whats the point. life is cruel. but i dont see things that way anymore. i dont see things as endings. now i look at things as my dad got to know true love twice. once when he married mom and then when he had his daughters. my mom had an enchanted life in lima peru for 36 years with a big family on a kind farm. she had her chance to follow her dreams. she never thought shed get married or had kids. so i choose to see things like that now. im not afraid to try anymore. shitty things are always going to happen. i deserve to try to enjoy the good things as well.
Heard this on npr the other morning and the story about them seeing a young Muslim woman in a hijab singing this song with tears streaming down her face at one of their concerts was so moving to me. Thanks for making me teary-eyed on my way to work!
To anyone who has felt unsafe at home, this song is a reminder that you can leave, burn away the defense mechanisms you once had, and be free of that cycle. Thanks to Muna.
@@gowonsorbitch7293 It might be a reference to police reform / abolition protests. But, really, I think it’s especially poignant. It’s essentially a “disarm the police” narrative. Of someone being a part of a repressive system and then opting out of that. I think it’s still relevant.
"You think being yourself means being unworthy" that line hits me hard in the feels. I wish anyone that feels that way can some day find a place, either within themselves or amongst people who care about them, and eventually feel safe, accepted and loved 🙏
[LYRICS] I knew When you told me you don't wanna go home tonight And you tried to just shrug it off when I asked you why Somebody hurt you Somebody hurt you But you're here by my side And I knew 'Cause I can recall when I was the one in your seat I still got the scars and they occasionally bleed 'Cause somebody hurt me Somebody hurt me But I'm staying alive And I can tell When you get nervous You think being yourself means being unworthy And it's hard to love with a heart that's hurting But if you want to go out dancing I know a place (ooh) I know a place we can go (yeah) Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Just give me trust and watch what'll happen 'Cause I know (ooh) I know a place we can run (yeah) Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Don't you be afraid of love and affection Just lay down your weapon Right now It's like you're carrying all the weight of your past I could tell all your bruises, yellow, dark blue, and black But baby a bruise is, only your body Tryna keep you intact So right now I think we should go get drunk on cheap wine I think we should hop on the purple line 'Cause maybe our purpose Is to never give up when we're on the right track And I can tell When you get nervous You think being yourself means being unworthy And it's hard to love with a heart that's hurting But if you want to go out dancing I know a place (ooh) I know a place we can go (yeah) Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Just give me trust and watch what'll happen 'Cause I know (ooh) I know a place we can run (yeah) Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Don't you be afraid of love and affection Just lay down your weapon (Lay down your weapon) They will try to make you unhappy Don't let them They will try to tell you you're not free Don't listen I, I know a place where you don't need protection Even if it's only in my imagination I, I know a place we can go Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Just give me trust and anything can happen 'Cause I know (ooh) I know a place we can go (yeah) Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Just give me trust and watch what'll happen 'Cause I know (ooh) I know a place we can stay (yeah) Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Don't you be afraid of love and affection Just lay down your weapon
One of the very most heartbreaking songs that can ultimately lift your spirit. Dedicated to the victims of the Orlando FL Pulse shootings, may each of your souls find peace, you're all symbols of beauty that shined in the face of hatred. You will not be forgotten.
I heard this song months ago and liked it enough to bookmark it. Months later I'm back because I heard it on the credits of the Carmilla movie and realised I HAD to listen to it again. Absolutely love it
I actually thought this WAS Haim for a long time. It played on my Spotify randomly generated playlist and I added it because I liked it, and assumed it was just another good song of theirs. lol
I just want you to know how proud I am of you for creating this gorgeous song. It's an anthem. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am so grateful. Art like this is the best kind. It preaches love and acceptance and safety, and after Pulse, we need all of that. xoxo.
I really love this. The lyrics are so good. I like to imagine it's a message to me from the universe, my future self, my higherself and everyone who loves me.
With everything that has been going on in in the world lately, this is the song we need. So uplifting and powerful, and a love letter to the LGBT community. Preach on girls, preach on!
To our lgbt brothers and sisters who faced abandonment from everyone, to those ones who are not protected by any law of their country, to those ones who struggle with everyday bullying: "They will try to make you unhappy Don't let them They will try to tell you you're not free Don't listen I, I know a place where you don't need protection , even if it's only in my imagination..."
America is a perpetually progressive place where thought patterns of the past are replaced by even more progressive policy. We have a trajectory that will catapult us leagues past China's. American solidarity will make us like Timascus. Timascus is titanium folded in the style of Damascus steel. It is difficult to create because its elements require an incredible amount of heat to form. The result is a beautiful multicolored, hardened titanium. The cliche "diversity is our strength" will stand the test of time. America as a principle will be remembered for thousands of years.
This is my absolute favorite song. And the addition of a few powerful lyrics in some live performances makes it even more moving to watch. "Even if our skin or our gods look different. i believe all human life is significant. I throw my arms open wide in resistance. He's not my leader even if he's my president"
Seriously, one of the best songs of the past decade. Hell, with how s#!tty mainstream radio's been for so long, I'd go so far to say this is one of the best songs of the new millennium thus far. Few songs make you wanna cry and dance at the same time and they're such a rarity.
🙏🏻💔🙏🏽 - thank you MUNA! Wishing you all the success you deserve... I listen to ‘Silk Chiffon’ while I do housework... I know the lyrics so I can sing along ! And I keep finding new tracks, so this is wonderful... the lyrics, the sound, & the beat! I’ve outlived my generation, & I can remember fragments of WW2 - go figure....I’m just so grateful that I’m alive to hear what’s going on! 🌹
My brain told me this was a cover of an 80s song only to find it’s a new song but just that instantly memorable and classic that I thought I must have heard it before. Amazing songwriting ❤
I was at Harry's concert a few days ago and before that I didn't even hear about this group. I listened to them with no expectations and I was blown away by how good their songs are. Especially this one. They're seriously underrated.
You guys were just in my store fueling up heading to Texas. Your bus driver told me you all were asleep, and I was just shaken that you came through my little town. I wanted you to know just how much this song made me cry the first time I heard it. How your music moves me and resonates deep into my soul.
I just listened to this song for the first time yesterday, i was driving, i let Spotify play random songs and this song really stuck in my head since then. I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH
Listen to new releases at the moment then spin back here ,, what a brilliant record ,, amazing backing vocals ,, fantastic production and uplifting lyrics,, just love it more and more as time moves on !!
holy crap the sound difference between this version and their mahogany sessions is incredible. they're equally amazing! this feels more uplifting while the latter feels more nostalgic
I'm listening to this in a moment I really need strength to do something difficult. Thank you Muna for this song. It brings comfort. God I love music ❤️
this song makes me feel so hopeful for the future

why?
I mean it's not this song but for some reason it matches with my mood. ive been suicidal since i was 11 but i'm finally at peace and for the first time i am excited for the future. something i never thought id be. i used to only see things one way. my charming, jolly, talented dad ended up drunk and homeless. my compassionate, witty mom became a single workaholic. i used to think to myself, she deserves the world and yet this was her ending? whats the point. life is cruel. but i dont see things that way anymore. i dont see things as endings. now i look at things as my dad got to know true love twice. once when he married mom and then when he had his daughters. my mom had an enchanted life in lima peru for 36 years with a big family on a kind farm. she had her chance to follow her dreams. she never thought shed get married or had kids. so i choose to see things like that now. im not afraid to try anymore. shitty things are always going to happen. i deserve to try to enjoy the good things as well.
thanks!
MUNA be like, “I know a place,” and then take you to an absolute bop
they know a place where we can feel totally seen, and completely safe shaking our collective 🍑🍑

So underrated that it's not even fair.
True

Hard to believe that it has less than 2 million views. A song with a great beat and message!
Fr bro, I love this song sm :/ a true work of art
I was thinking what I could do take this song to the height it deserves
Heard this on npr the other morning and the story about them seeing a young Muslim woman in a hijab singing this song with tears streaming down her face at one of their concerts was so moving to me. Thanks for making me teary-eyed on my way to work!
do you know where i could watch this ?
@@noshheen yea same
That hit hard
To anyone who has felt unsafe at home, this song is a reminder that you can leave, burn away the defense mechanisms you once had, and be free of that cycle.
Thanks to Muna.
this did not age well
rubiyarchives why? Did something happen?
@@Stylofo4m Yup! ☺️

But, really, I think it’s especially poignant. It’s essentially a “disarm the police” narrative. Of someone being a part of a repressive system and then opting out of that. I think it’s still relevant.
Just like that huh?! I never realized it was so easy!
As my friend said, this song feels like a hug to the community. 🌈🌈🌈
Yes, it does. 🥺
Thank you Ally Hills for introducing me to this amazing group!

god I really love the concept of this video and lyrics of the song, especially the end. really hope this video gets the attention it deserves.
[LYRICS]
I knew
When you told me you don't wanna go home tonight
And you tried to just shrug it off when I asked you why
Somebody hurt you
Somebody hurt you
But you're here by my side
And I knew
'Cause I can recall when I was the one in your seat
I still got the scars and they occasionally bleed
'Cause somebody hurt me
Somebody hurt me
But I'm staying alive
And I can tell
When you get nervous
You think being yourself means being unworthy
And it's hard to love with a heart that's hurting
But if you want to go out dancing
I know a place (ooh)
I know a place we can go (yeah)
Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon
Lay down their weapon
Just give me trust and watch what'll happen
'Cause I know (ooh)
I know a place we can run (yeah)
Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon
Lay down their weapon
Don't you be afraid of love and affection
Just lay down your weapon
Right now
It's like you're carrying all the weight of your past
I could tell all your bruises, yellow, dark blue, and black
But baby a bruise is, only your body
Tryna keep you intact
So right now
I think we should go get drunk on cheap wine
I think we should hop on the purple line
'Cause maybe our purpose
Is to never give up when we're on the right track
And I can tell
When you get nervous
You think being yourself means being unworthy
And it's hard to love with a heart that's hurting
But if you want to go out dancing
I know a place (ooh)
I know a place we can go (yeah)
Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon
Lay down their weapon
Just give me trust and watch what'll happen
'Cause I know (ooh)
I know a place we can run (yeah)
Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon
Lay down their weapon
Don't you be afraid of love and affection
Just lay down your weapon
(Lay down your weapon)
They will try to make you unhappy
Don't let them
They will try to tell you you're not free
Don't listen
I, I know a place where you don't need protection
Even if it's only in my imagination
I, I know a place we can go
Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon
Lay down their weapon
Just give me trust and anything can happen
'Cause I know (ooh)
I know a place we can go (yeah)
Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon
Lay down their weapon
Just give me trust and watch what'll happen
'Cause I know (ooh)
I know a place we can stay (yeah)
Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon
Lay down their weapon
Don't you be afraid of love and affection
Just lay down your weapon
This almost has an 80's sound to it. I LOVE IT.
One of the very most heartbreaking songs that can ultimately lift your spirit. Dedicated to the victims of the Orlando FL Pulse shootings, may each of your souls find peace, you're all symbols of beauty that shined in the face of hatred. You will not be forgotten.
"lay down your weapon"
_beautiful_
I heard this song months ago and liked it enough to bookmark it. Months later I'm back because I heard it on the credits of the Carmilla movie and realised I HAD to listen to it again. Absolutely love it
Cass it's an amazing song!! got here from amy ordman lol
One of the most beautiful song I have ever listened in my life.
I fall more in love with these girls every day
Laura Kelly me too!!
Mind checking out my recent lo-fi rhymes ;)
Laura Kelly --- Me too..! They are very different and I love them..!
they look gross and this song is a rip off
Chauncey Slánský-Dubček don't listen to them then
This song has a Haim vibe to it. Especially the opening.
I actually thought this WAS Haim for a long time. It played on my Spotify randomly generated playlist and I added it because I liked it, and assumed it was just another good song of theirs. lol
I find vibes of Bleachers, The Cranberries and The Naked and Famous
Imagine a HAIM, Muna, The Aces, Bleachers, The 1975 collab....the collapse omfgggg
And Black Magic by Little Mix!
@@mightyred99 no.
Thank you Alex Strangelove for introducing me this song
Eu ja conhecia essa banda e pirei quando tocou no filme❤
When I feel sad I listen to this song and I immediately feel better. Thank you for your song, it saved me!!!!
Love all of their lyrics. Plus, who doesn't like the sound of 80s music!
An astrological guide of broken hearts brought me here, and fall in love with this song right away.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just want you to know how proud I am of you for creating this gorgeous song. It's an anthem. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am so grateful. Art like this is the best kind. It preaches love and acceptance and safety, and after Pulse, we need all of that. xoxo.
What's the meaning of the 'IA' at the end of LGBTQ?
Intersex and asexual.
I could not agree more. It hits me in all the right places. This song is amazing in every beat and every lyric.
best kind for me *
Dustin Kloeppel lgbt+ what’s the point of saying qia at the end. The plus is there for a reason.
so underrated. im pissed so bad. this song is such an anthem.
this was the first song I ever heard by them and it's still my favourite
Do you still remember this?
literally been listening to this all day, such a perfect song for carmilla
My new addiction, just bought their new album on itunes
Jed Martins iTunes is lossy soundquality and files have often digital watermarks which degrades sound even more...
Jed Martins your gay right
I agree, Jonathan, that's why I love this song so much ♥
Yeah i'm gay, any problem with that?
Jed Martins I'm with you! I'm gay 2 and I love them tooooo! 😍
I really love this. The lyrics are so good. I like to imagine it's a message to me from the universe, my future self, my higherself and everyone who loves me.
That resonates with me! When I listen I can hear Life speaking to me, speaking to us all. :-)
“Tiny Pretty Things” brought me here :) 🕺🏾
I'm just here because I like the song.
With everything that has been going on in in the world lately, this is the song we need. So uplifting and powerful, and a love letter to the LGBT community. Preach on girls, preach on!
Kyle Beyler
If only LGBTQAA49$ didn't play the victim card about everything and call any dissenting view of LGBT propaganda as neo-nazi "hate-speech"
Kyle Beyler
how is this a love letter to the Lgbt community?

Love this song. Thanks to Netflix and the production team and the band for featuring this in the trailer for "Tales of the City".
Just found this song by coincidence it’s so amazing
Honestly, this song has been my jam for like the past two months! So stoked for the full album!
Thank you for inspiring me.
6 years later and this song is still amazing
Around U needs a video please! What an amazing album ♥
Great song, love the lyrics. Here via tales of the City. Lay down your weapons.
I could watch this forever! New album is everything.
To our lgbt brothers and sisters who faced abandonment from everyone, to those ones who are not protected by any law of their country, to those ones who struggle with everyday bullying:
"They will try to make you unhappy
Don't let them
They will try to tell you you're not free
Don't listen
I, I know a place where you don't need protection
,
even if it's only in my imagination..."

Heard this song on Alex Strangelove movie and loved it! Never heard of Muna before this.
"give me trust and watch what will happen, don't be afraid of love and affection" 💕💕💕💕
This is my absolute favorite song. And the addition of a few powerful lyrics in some live performances makes it even more moving to watch. "Even if our skin or our gods look different. i believe all human life is significant. I throw my arms open wide in resistance. He's not my leader even if he's my president"
I saw Muna in Brighton, UK last year and they totally blew my mind! One of the best shows I've been to
Seriously, one of the best songs of the past decade. Hell, with how s#!tty mainstream radio's been for so long, I'd go so far to say this is one of the best songs of the new millennium thus far. Few songs make you wanna cry and dance at the same time and they're such a rarity.
This song is beautiful. Brings me to happy tears just about every time.
Just finished watching Alex Stangelove which bought me to this group. OMG love this song you girls rock !!!!
I'm so glad I discovered Muna recently! I'm in love with them already!
Alex Strangelove... Thank you this song is awesome!

a message much needed in our current times

They're seriously underrated.
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
I've been listening and loving this song for ages, and i just realized it has a music video
I am obsessed with this song - listen to it over and over - just love everything about it

Best Movie Ever, " Alex Strangelove" and best song ever, "I Know a Place"!!!! It is Gorgeous, I've got goosebumps!!
Simply unbelievable!! The most beautiful love letter ever. Lay down your weapons!!
Thank you for birthing this song
I love this song came across it on a random playlist now I can't stop playing it.
You guys were just in my store fueling up heading to Texas. Your bus driver told me you all were asleep, and I was just shaken that you came through my little town. I wanted you to know just how much this song made me cry the first time I heard it. How your music moves me and resonates deep into my soul.
There's a lot of beautiful songs like this that is so effing underrated, Alex Strangelove brought me here.
This song feels like a hug from a good friend
I'm so happy these ladies have been getting some attention; I've been waiting for their full length debut since 2015 haha, and it was so wonderful
I love you so yhhyuio
I just listened to this song for the first time yesterday, i was driving, i let Spotify play random songs and this song really stuck in my head since then. I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH

Omg the amount of dislikes amaze me? what the fuck? the lyrics are meaningful and the beat is absolutely amazing. People with bad taste of music.
If you are really amazed that people don't like this..you truely do live up to your name.. I'm just saying
Fragile As Glass no joke :O that was amazing
LastForgottenNinja no need to be rude, if its not your taste then its not your taste
Fragile As Glass "Oh people have different music taste this makes me so angry"
@Fragile As Glass
Don't even give negativity a seat at your table. It's not worth your time my friend.
This has to be one of my favorite songs of all time.
LOVE this song, their new album, just love them in general.
idk why but this song feels like a warm hug after a depressive episode
This song deserves more views.
the video is cool too!!
YESS

Mathew Mabee i'd be more careful about saying that to random people on the internet you dont even know if i were you.
After all these years this song still gets me in my feels. If perfect songs exist then this is number one.
holy crap the sound difference between this version and their mahogany sessions is incredible. they're equally amazing! this feels more uplifting while the latter feels more nostalgic
This song make me feel free and alive.
I'm listening to this in a moment I really need strength to do something difficult. Thank you Muna for this song. It brings comfort. God I love music ❤️
Thank you Alex Strangelove 💝 I just had to look this song up, BEAUTIFUL!
