@@ithielpitt7525 I’ve been in that type of relationship before.. But I truly believe this song isn’t about that. This song is about Euthanasia. It’s a conversation she’s having with someone who’s essentially dying on life support & the hard decision of pulling the plug or not. The lines where she says “ am I still alive or has the light gone black” is the persons point of view from life support. They’re asking her to question the quality of life. The lines.. “Take me underground, Take me all the way, Bring me to the fire, Throw me in the flame” Is basically Lucy asking for a mercy kill.. put me out of my misery so to speak. The line “I’d rather die than be with you” reads the same way. She’s saying I’d rather die & end this than let you watch me suffer.
ive worked 100's of concerts, but i still get chills thinking of how cool it looked when the music hit with her 8ft on riser and his silhouette. I was already a fan, but them live, omg.
I met them over ten years ago, asking for tickets to a small sold out venue in Phoenix. I had no money, no tickets, just showed up because I loved them. Went around back asking to get in and asked JOSH of all people, I was like, wait.. dont I know you?? He said, well I’m 1/2 of the band phantogram. And he put me and my friend on the guest list. I fucking cried. I love them so so so much. Their music was along for the RIDE OF MY LIFE (I’d call it that at the time) I had their autographs but that was lost to time. I love you phantogram ✨💕😿🤟
Your mamma's a llama. I don't know how to comfort you away from this fact. Everyone has a mamma, that is a Llama. We are Llama progeny. Accept your mamma as anything in this moment, and whether alive or dead, acknowledgement of your mamma being a llama is a sign of respect. Be well Always, even as we all have llama- mammas. Listen to Arianna Grande Live on Vevo, singing safety net. Be, Love, Always
My sons mom chose drugs and alcohol over him. I overdosed and almost lost my life in 2017. When she says “Lucy’s underground she’s got a mouth to feed. Lucy’s underground she’s never coming backkk”, it gives me the chills starting from my spine. I chose to face my demons and here I am 6 years sober from hard drugs. I started listening to this song in the beginning of it all. It brings me back to a moment of uncertainty and I was so scared to do this on my own. Now my son and I are living a beautiful life with love, pain, joy, and all the other emotions that life rotates for us. He is my beautiful boy that gave me a life worth fighting for. All the love, all the power.
stay strong, you sound like a great father, i'm in awe, i too am a widower i feel the loss every day and i see her in my dreams and it's wonderful to me..
i totally thought she said "Lucy's on the grind, she's got a mouth to feed" instead of "underground" lmao! context clues of the next line "she has a mouth to feed" was misleading :/
I was 18 when I heard this song. I was folding jeans for the 50th time that day at Levi’s and I literally stopped working and listened to this song. Took me a month to find it and 10 years later, I still listen to this song on the daily
That's an awesome song story 😎 I had a song in my head from the 80s that I could not find the artist or even song title to for over a decade. When I finally had Shazam on my phone and I was in a CVS Pharmacy one afternoon they played it over the loudspeaker and I was able to finally get it! I know how it is to wait for a song like that and then to play it and you never stop playing it. ☺️Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep listening to your beautiful music.
I never heard this until today as I was playing Santigold, but I did work at a Levi's factory 20 years ago. My job was to turn pockets inside out... bundles of them, just pockets, all day long. Pay was good, killed my wrists though.
Personally i think the song is about the struggles of being in an in-between place. The narrator is reflecting on feeling uncertain and caught between a "Lucy's underground" and the surface world, searching for a way out. They refer to the pull between these two worlds as the "fire," and ultimately opt to stay within it because they believe it is better than the alternative. The chorus speaks of surrendering to the uncertain journey and embracing the freedom of being "small." The song is ultimately a call to embrace the unknown and to enjoy being caught in between: being small is a reminder to stay humble and small in the great chaos of life, and always look for the beauty and love that lies within it. An amazing song and so addictive.
I’m 15 and I’ve been exploring different music. I stumbled across this album a few days ago and this is one of my favorite songs on it. It’s just so incredible. Feels like my life changed lol
Daniel Horceag Absolutely stunning in many ways. Acting is on point, storyline is on point. Its comedic at times as well which is enjoyable. Give it a squiz and see how you like it.
She is a legit cool human. Talked to me for like a half hour after their set in StL, we talked poets and about failed parents. She is legit. I feel for the loss of her sister.
@@vicx05 Yes, but sometimes it's not a bad thing to put people in their place when they're making brash and harmful assumptions. It might push them to consider the impact of their words before using them in the future.
2010 was a helluva year in music. Just a few arists with great albums that year: Phantogram, Sufjan Stevens, Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, The National, Janelle Monet, Vampire Weekend, Beach House, Gorillaz, Deerhunter, The Black Keys, Yeahsayer, Tame Impala, MGMT, Deftones, Spoon, Foals, Crystal Castles...
Deftones! Phantogram is actually doing a remix of their song "Street Carp" on their White Pony 20th anniversary re-release. It contain an extra LP that is all remixes of the entire album done by different artists. Phantogram, Purity Ring, Clams Casino, DJ Shadow, and Robert Smith among others
The song is actually about leaving an abusive relationship. Everybody is watching her and her 'crazy outbursts' hence the lights and the cameras. Once she says: 'I'd rather die than be with you' I feel tears welling up in my eyes even after the 789th time of listening to it. It hits home.
@@ClearChoiceMethodology My dad used to get tied to a tree as his babysitter most days. His father (my grandpaw) sold his sisters and beat him and his brothers. Almost killed my dad on multiple occasions. Just saying not everyone suffers the same levels of abuse in life homie! Saying just be grateful to be alive to victims of abuse is really jacked up.
I remember when I first heard this song one night, i listened for about 50-100 times non stop....then I decided its late night, I should sleep....kept my phone away...couldn't sleep..got up again....listened to it for another 100 times AND i am still loving it!!! Thank You, Phantogram for introducing me to this amazing song.
For the longest time, I just thought she was just trying to make her tittie's shake. For views....... Maybe your right. Or maybe the cinematographer is just really good. Or I'm a pervert 😏.
This song was on repeat when I left my abusive baby daddy. 11 years later my son and I are doing better than I could’ve ever imagined. If anyone reading this thinks they can’t get away you can.
I'm like 50 years old, but 42 years ago, my Mom did the bravest, most terrifying, and deadly dangerous thing possible: she got us out of and abusive house with my birth father. She still bears emotion scars, had jumpiness & anxiety without relief, and is overly-fixated on making sure I get home safe from my doctor's appointments & that on payday, I was sure to pay EVERY bill...but never overbearing. It's how he broke so much of her, she shows love this way. I have my own issues, but have a psychiatrist, take my meds without fail, and been in weekly therapy for over 6 years now. Even at my age, healing can begin. But my Mom is my HERO. I can never tell her that, and why, because of what life was for us. What I can do is never get impatient with her irrational fears when they occur randomly 1 or 2 times a month, tell her how much I appreciate her looking out for me consistently, and we aren't...physically huggers...because of that stuff back then. But you can show affection, my friends, by a real smile, with sincere eyes...when she can muster eye contact, but even that's improving slowly over time, even 4+ decades after getting us out. Not that that didn't leave court case, horrific actions by him, and continued attempts at violence & intimidation. But she didn't flinch ever then. My Mom, regardless of what scars she carries, will always be the perfect Mom for me. I *like* myself now, over 40+ years and weekly therapy for nearly 7 years, and meds...and I can show her that, which is the greatest, AND ONLY, gift she has ever asked me for. She doesn't like to receive gifts, she feels it's too expensive, or that she wouldn't merit them (though no self-conscious word or those sorts has ever left her mouth!) She says only one thing of him: without him, there'd be no Me. So no matter what, it was all worth it. All of it. Just because she could do right by me as a parent, he couldn't, and I didn't deserve that life (never mentions herself the same way, though it was undoubtedly worse for her than me!) SOOO...yeah, Phantogram is both to my music taste, but greater still, they give my Mom a Voice she could never, nor would seek out, for herself. tl;dr: Tough, read it or don't!
I walked into a Doc Martens store and heard this song playing. I didn't have my phone so I couldn't Shazam it or find a way to know what it's called. It took me a week of just playing it over and over in my head to finally track it down. Something about it just hit me at my core.
This song reminds me of this woman who manipulated me into serving her demons for well over a year and a half.. I was a heartbroken teenager, she was sixty year old divorcee. We fed each other's addictions, alcohol, heroin, crack, meth, you name it. She fed into my trauma and demonized my mother who was only trying to help. My innocence was lost in those streets and hotels and trips... if only I could take them back. I will always remember the triumph of breaking up with her on the phone on her birthday, telling her that she is my gangrene and I had to amputate her. It's been over a decade now, and I am just now learning the word of trauma bonding. If anyone reading this feels stuck in something they know they shouldn't be in, I guarantee you that somewhere in there you have the courage to leave your abuser, and trust me you won't regret it.
Just seen them live, they opened for Qotsa in Detroit. First time I heard of this band. I absolutely loved them, they put on a great show and definitely gained a new fan in me.
@@felipea.dieppa7296 UHHh Felipe...Did you ever hear Phantogram on the radio once during the 2000s??? NO! Did you know that virtually one guy ( Max Martin) wrote all the hit pop songs in last few decades? That is why they all sound the same. That was my point...all the classic radio stations keep playing the same old SHite over and over again from the 70's, 80's and 90's. UA-cam is not considered the 'Media/Entertainment Industry!'

The popular music game has been a monopoly since a while. Because its easier to stream music and video, its easier to feed bullshit to people and keep them hooked. They just have to make sure the hype doesnt die and find creative ways to supply. Still folks who appreciate good music will find it, cheers for making a brilliant point
@@ronaktripathi6332 And one more thing...in actual matter of fact, my view is the 'feeding bullshit to people' is actually having a very serious and damaging effect on how society is progressing. Take for example the Motown era...the music meant something, had a social conscious, implored to people to think a bit (hey whats going on?) and thus really propelled the citizens toward greater civil responsibility...voters rights, peaceful coexistance, etc. etc. Not all top 40 is guilty here but my main point is that where I live, their are about 5 stations that keep playing the same 70's 80's and 90's stuff over and over again...in fact I can actually guess what the station is playing before I turn it on...and these are the bands that have ALL the money...stones, ACDC, Led Zeppelin etc...but even then...you almost never hear obscure and awasome bands from that period on these stations...just a sad state...needs to CHANGE! Cheers!
Put this on my CD for a day trip through BC and Alberta my senior year. Still takes me back to those empty, winding roads and beautiful mountain faces, and drinking a beer as I sat by the river.
I had definitely heard the song before on Pandora, commercials, TV shows etc… but never really paid attention to it. Well I just saw them perform, they’re on tour with Kings of Leon and it was awesome ! This song , live is out of this world
i love how the intro makes people raise the volume then it kicks in, beautifully gritty and her soft vocals gently carries us through the rhythmic ambient sounds. Phantogram consistently produces modern audio for the masses always leaving me excited for the next song.
4/16/19 here on my own. At 0:13 knew this was a banger. Played over a dozen times in a row like a teenager again. Her dancing scared me at first but I was hypnotized by the end.
I first heard this in an ad for Microsoft Surface and instantly had to find out the band who made it. Over a decade later and I just saw them perform it live. Love this band.
I was soooo obsessed with this song when i was 16 (7 years ago), i totally forgot about it and i heard it suddenly on the radio the other day. So glad i found it again, felt like i found something lost...
I remember hearing this blaring out of the local high schools football field during a game one night... It took me at least 2 years to finally find it. Been returning ever since
Obviously a very emotional experience for Ms. Barthel, the tears in her eyes at the end of the track are testament to the power of the music, as well as the words. Fantastic piece of song writing.
Got here by sheer curiosity in a chill mood. Didn't expect something this deep, made me look her up, she's really letting her feelings out with this piece.
I miss my dog Lucy who passed a couple years ago. Don't know why but this song brings tears while listening and thinking of her. Best dog I ever had. Loved her so so much
Yeah I saw them at hangout fest once, easily one of the best shows of the whole weekend. Their albums are great, but something about the way they preform live really does take their music to the next level
Everybody’s ears need to experience this track. It’s insanely beautiful. Seductive. Take me to bed music. Gosh. Just. Gosh. “Show me love. You’ve got your hands on the button now”. Blimey. 💓
I don't remember when I got this song... It was free on Amazon. I listened to it every day until my computer gave up and I had to find a way to get a new one. In the meantime I forgot who did it. I'm so glad my UA-cam feed decided I might like to hear it!! I've had some abusive relationships and I love the line, I'd rather die than to be with you! I marked it so I can find it again. I'm 73. 🤷😻😻😎💋🍹💃👵🐺🌵
1011 Boughten chests are best! I don't know personally....chest as flat as my back. LMAO. I'm on Fjord....waiting to go HOME. Missing my Forever Friend tonight, more than ever. 007
My absolute favorite music video of all time. Every so often I drop by and watch it again. The song itself is amazing, then combined with reflective oil pool and the subtle bursts of color silhouettes in that one sequence... gorgeous.
I had 2 of my stepchildren plus my 2 biological for a while when my ex took off. It was tough, but she's back in their lives and being a mom of sorts. Stand your ground.
This song speaks to me on so many levels. It helped me out of my abusive relationship and realized the destructive path I was headed down. I love you guys so much your music is amazing and what beautiful people you are to make music and reach out to others who have these emotions. Also.. the dancing I move the same way when I hear these songs

For the longest time, I just thought she was just trying to make her tittie's shake. For views....... Maybe your right. Or maybe the cinematographer is just really good. Or I'm a pervert 😏.
So, what you are really saying is, those 12 years of guitar lessons his parents paid for, really has paid off??
this song feels exactly how its supposed to feel.
Second this.
This song was on repeat when I left my abusive baby daddy. 11 years later my son and I are doing better than I could’ve ever imagined. If anyone reading this thinks they can’t get away you can.
I’m quietly planning my exit. I hate myself for waiting so long that our kids understand alcoholism and how merciless it is.
I'm like 50 years old, but 42 years ago, my Mom did the bravest, most terrifying, and deadly dangerous thing possible: she got us out of and abusive house with my birth father.
She still bears emotion scars, had jumpiness & anxiety without relief, and is overly-fixated on making sure I get home safe from my doctor's appointments & that on payday, I was sure to pay EVERY bill...but never overbearing. It's how he broke so much of her, she shows love this way.
I have my own issues, but have a psychiatrist, take my meds without fail, and been in weekly therapy for over 6 years now. Even at my age, healing can begin. But my Mom is my HERO. I can never tell her that, and why, because of what life was for us. What I can do is never get impatient with her irrational fears when they occur randomly 1 or 2 times a month, tell her how much I appreciate her looking out for me consistently, and we aren't...physically huggers...because of that stuff back then.
But you can show affection, my friends, by a real smile, with sincere eyes...when she can muster eye contact, but even that's improving slowly over time, even 4+ decades after getting us out. Not that that didn't leave court case, horrific actions by him, and continued attempts at violence & intimidation. But she didn't flinch ever then. My Mom, regardless of what scars she carries, will always be the perfect Mom for me.
I *like* myself now, over 40+ years and weekly therapy for nearly 7 years, and meds...and I can show her that, which is the greatest, AND ONLY, gift she has ever asked me for. She doesn't like to receive gifts, she feels it's too expensive, or that she wouldn't merit them (though no self-conscious word or those sorts has ever left her mouth!) She says only one thing of him: without him, there'd be no Me. So no matter what, it was all worth it. All of it. Just because she could do right by me as a parent, he couldn't, and I didn't deserve that life (never mentions herself the same way, though it was undoubtedly worse for her than me!)
SOOO...yeah, Phantogram is both to my music taste, but greater still, they give my Mom a Voice she could never, nor would seek out, for herself.
tl;dr: Tough, read it or don't!
"I'd rather die than be with you" perfectly said love.
I walked into a Doc Martens store and heard this song playing. I didn't have my phone so I couldn't Shazam it or find a way to know what it's called. It took me a week of just playing it over and over in my head to finally track it down. Something about it just hit me at my core.
This song is Beautifully haunting, and that rocking Guitar Riff elevates it even more.
Yeah, a bass guitar
A voice, a song, a group way ahead of its time ❤
This song reminds me of this woman who manipulated me into serving her demons for well over a year and a half.. I was a heartbroken teenager, she was sixty year old divorcee. We fed each other's addictions, alcohol, heroin, crack, meth, you name it. She fed into my trauma and demonized my mother who was only trying to help. My innocence was lost in those streets and hotels and trips... if only I could take them back.
I will always remember the triumph of breaking up with her on the phone on her birthday, telling her that she is my gangrene and I had to amputate her. It's been over a decade now, and I am just now learning the word of trauma bonding. If anyone reading this feels stuck in something they know they shouldn't be in, I guarantee you that somewhere in there you have the courage to leave your abuser, and trust me you won't regret it.
power to you, always 🖤 xx
Godspeed brother
Trauma bondage hmm first time I ever heard of it, but totally described my experience
You must have made it a long way out of those depths to be able to share honestly. Thank you for the encouragement.
You will find someone great.
Stumbled upon this song today, Sunday February 26, 2023, it's so nostalgic. Can't place where I've heard it before but I love the feeling it gives.
Suits
@@VenGooner I haven't watched any full episodes of Suits yet, just shorts on UA-cam. Thanks for responding tho 😊
Infedlix Anthem for the lost?
@@Shaniecey1 do yourself a favor girl, watch all of Suits. It's an excellent show. They play this at the end of episode......
She has perfect hair!!
lol
And tits!!
yes. AND yes, tits. Lendeczki Istvan Vendel
Lendeczki Istvan Vendel ur a perv :/
Hope Rayann How can he be a perv when they take up 75% of the video? :)
Just seen them live, they opened for Qotsa in Detroit. First time I heard of this band. I absolutely loved them, they put on a great show and definitely gained a new fan in me.
Living proof that the media/entertainment industry is oppressing genuine talent.
lol this has almost 30 million views.
@@felipea.dieppa7296 UHHh Felipe...Did you ever hear Phantogram on the radio once during the 2000s??? NO! Did you know that virtually one guy ( Max Martin) wrote all the hit pop songs in last few decades? That is why they all sound the same. That was my point...all the classic radio stations keep playing the same old SHite over and over again from the 70's, 80's and 90's. UA-cam is not considered the 'Media/Entertainment Industry!' It is a social media company where private citizens upload their own videos.

One Man Has Written Virtually Every Major Pop Song Of The Last 20 Years. And You've Probably Never Heard His Name By Max Savage Levenson on August 18, 2020 in Articles › Entertainment"
The popular music game has been a monopoly since a while. Because its easier to stream music and video, its easier to feed bullshit to people and keep them hooked. They just have to make sure the hype doesnt die and find creative ways to supply.
Still folks who appreciate good music will find it, cheers for making a brilliant point
@@ronaktripathi6332 I concur! Tally Ho! All the best to you!
@@ronaktripathi6332 And one more thing...in actual matter of fact, my view is the 'feeding bullshit to people' is actually having a very serious and damaging effect on how society is progressing. Take for example the Motown era...the music meant something, had a social conscious, implored to people to think a bit (hey whats going on?) and thus really propelled the citizens toward greater civil responsibility...voters rights, peaceful coexistance, etc. etc. Not all top 40 is guilty here but my main point is that where I live, their are about 5 stations that keep playing the same 70's 80's and 90's stuff over and over again...in fact I can actually guess what the station is playing before I turn it on...and these are the bands that have ALL the money...stones, ACDC, Led Zeppelin etc...but even then...you almost never hear obscure and awasome bands from that period on these stations...just a sad state...needs to CHANGE! Cheers!
Pandora bought me here. I really needed another band like this to enjoy. Today was a good day!!!
Put this on my CD for a day trip through BC and Alberta my senior year. Still takes me back to those empty, winding roads and beautiful mountain faces, and drinking a beer as I sat by the river.
How to create something truly unique and endlessly magical. I love this band to no end. Just like Black Out Days and Mouthful of Diamonds… Perfection.
Honestly these youtube nostalgia trips are so appreciated, after 10 years this somehow slaps just as hard.
I like the way she dances, so profound
I agree, along with the song, it's amazing. Raw talent, unlike a lot of the music we see nowa days.
I hope your being sarcastic!!
Lol yeah I was, not to be rude but she dances funny and the music kind of makes it a bit more funny
Bruce Key
I hope you're* not going to sound like a moron next time you try to make fun of someone.
Poor liber ;(
My word she is something else.
Damn gorgeous
perfect breasts
Boobies and Ranch
Both are:)
I had definitely heard the song before on Pandora, commercials, TV shows etc… but never really paid attention to it. Well I just saw them perform, they’re on tour with Kings of Leon and it was awesome ! This song , live is out of this world
i love how the intro makes people raise the volume then it kicks in, beautifully gritty and her soft vocals gently carries us through the rhythmic ambient sounds. Phantogram consistently produces modern audio for the masses always leaving me excited for the next song.
Am I the only one watching Phantogram's videos for the first time?
And taste for good music brought me here btw.
4/16/19 here on my own. At 0:13 knew this was a banger. Played over a dozen times in a row like a teenager again. Her dancing scared me at first but I was hypnotized by the end.
I knew them bc of my brother who used to play it at his car while driving me to school. I started playing it myself while playn bioshock infinity.
Why has it taken me forever to find this? Its life changing!
Sarah is a goddess!!
So powerful ❤
This song will never get old...love these two.
I Love her hair!
Miss Knowles the most beautiful woman ever created,!!!!
Miss Knowles I fucking love you. Marry me!
Hair = boobs?))
So do I!! And I'm a straight man, former suit, in my late 50s. 😎
French bob... kinda.
The nostalgia. 16 years old walking down the hallways of my old high school with my iPod blasting to phantogram feeling like a rebel
OK I know the feeling but in Athenian streets during the summer just before sunset
@@masone788 chill

@@masone788 in your case, you still do.
I first heard this in an ad for Microsoft Surface and instantly had to find out the band who made it. Over a decade later and I just saw them perform it live. Love this band.
Phantogram is so underrated
Yes. Very mild on ears. Perfect balance of sound frequency and the tune and musical instruments. Won't get tired listening to it.
33 million views I don't think she classifies as underrated anymore lol
oops my bad, 34 million on this 1 uploaded version of this song alone
coz hes a self loving ashole...but heh igive stuff
That shift to Eb at @2:44 … GOOSEBUMPS…
I’ve been within an arm’s length of Sarah and Josh performing this beast of a song… 🥹
thank you suits. if it wasnt for you using this song so well i never would have searched for it and i dont think i could have lived without it
Love the contrast of artistic styling in this vid. She's full of energy and shaking her tips everywhere, and he's like yea, she just does that.
I was soooo obsessed with this song when i was 16 (7 years ago), i totally forgot about it and i heard it suddenly on the radio the other day. So glad i found it again, felt like i found something lost...
She’s so unbelievably attractive and I love her hair.
I commented again oops! Well no matter.
For real, she was reaally putting her hair to work in this
They're both really attractive people, no doubt.
Yeah but she changed her hair after and the magic dissipated
She loves her hair too. Just leave it be.
I remember hearing this blaring out of the local high schools football field during a game one night... It took me at least 2 years to finally find it. Been returning ever since
Obviously a very emotional experience for Ms. Barthel, the tears in her eyes at the end of the track are testament to the power of the music, as well as the words.
Fantastic piece of song writing.
The bass in all of their tracks is always 🔥🔥🔥 this song makes me feel so many different emotions
Shes so pretty it hypnotic!
Would you?
it's amazing how she expresses this song
Thanks you Pandora for playing this song for me and letting me discover this wonderful band.
"I'd rather die than to be with youuuuuuu" has to be my favorite part
Fascinating how this song is soo nostalgic even after listening to it for the first time 😅
Because it was a much more simple time lol
They used this song on a ubiquitous Gillette commercial. It played a lot everywhere, but especially if you watch sports.
@@tomfoolery5680 Thank you
Look up infidelix - anthem of the lost. Remix is smokin’
I've heard this song many times over the years. Had no idea who the band was. Now I do!
Got here by sheer curiosity in a chill mood. Didn't expect something this deep, made me look her up, she's really letting her feelings out with this piece.
I miss my dog Lucy who passed a couple years ago. Don't know why but this song brings tears while listening and thinking of her. Best dog I ever had. Loved her so so much
My awesome taste in music brought me here, long before suits and gillette...
may have brought u here, but ur pretentious elitist nature wont take u very far
gaspomp more like gaspompous
JustAnotherGaian or asspompous
Or from a league streamer ...
Pandora brought me here
The frame in between 0:12 and 0:13 has color!
Andrew Damico
Bouncing chesticles like hers are always better in color
Andrew Damico You just blew my fucking mind
Andrew Damico Tyler Durden strikes again.
this song will never not slap.
Suits (Season 4, Episode 14 [Derailed]) brought me here :)! Lovely song! From South Africa! :)
I just come here because I love phantogram
Alex Meulenbeld Phuckn Phantasic
+Alex Meulenbeld me too, but this video kind of killed that.
Alex Meulenbeld I went to there concert it was so lit
Yeah I saw them at hangout fest once, easily one of the best shows of the whole weekend. Their albums are great, but something about the way they preform live really does take their music to the next level
Alex Meulenbeld probably watched this video 3 dozen times
I lost count of how many times I've listen to this song. Astounding.
damn...13,000,000 million plus views now? I was here when there was less than a million. Keep going Phantogram.
Wyatt H 16million now
Just saw them last night opening for King s of Leon and they were so good 👏!
2021 and it’s still a vibe🥰
Yes!!
Definitely
But it's FAT when the clip in
Hell Yeah
Hell yeah
It's one of those perfectly tailor-made songs. I heard for the first time - and felt like I've known it all my life.
Agreed
For more perfection created by Sara check out Big Grams. You're welcome.
Ikr
I love big grams too. Lights on.
That's because it's a straight rip-off of like 3 other songs, and you've heard all of them before.
Amazingly, I only heard this for the first time last week. It really strikes a cord somewhere deep, just awesome.
Totally same here
This track’s dark and atmospheric feel is perfect for a world like CronoRevolution 🌑. Feels like it’s straight out of a dystopian narrative.
The hair, my gawd gal don't ever fire your stylist , its epic cut.💓
Everybody’s ears need to experience this track. It’s insanely beautiful. Seductive. Take me to bed music. Gosh. Just. Gosh. “Show me love. You’ve got your hands on the button now”. Blimey. 💓
I feel that bass deep within my soul. Seeing them at Treasure Island in 2010 is still such a powerful memory.
I don't remember when I got this song... It was free on Amazon. I listened to it every day until my computer gave up and I had to find a way to get a new one. In the meantime I forgot who did it. I'm so glad my UA-cam feed decided I might like to hear it!! I've had some abusive relationships and I love the line, I'd rather die than to be with you! I marked it so I can find it again. I'm 73. 🤷😻😻😎💋🍹💃👵🐺🌵
Not every girl can pull this haircut off, but she freaking rocks it!!! She rocks period
wow 6 years later... still listening to this. An absolute gem of a song
7 years later*
Just for perspective. Beethoven died more than 190 years ago and people still listen. Imagine the amount of likes!
Still listening?
10/2022
Try 13 years
I love this song! I just randomly came across it. Lucky me
Saw them open for kings of leon yesterday- what an awesome experience
I can't get enough of this song. It's just so good.
***** what boobs? >_>
***** Hehehe. Indeed!
***** its all I can watch!!! hahaha
I just assumed that she was trying to sex up the vid by drawing attention to her rack.

3:16 first time I heard this song that part gave me CHILLSSSSSS. Still love this song and NEVER skip it. So good, forever my one of my favorites🖤✨
Yeah I know the feeling too.
👍👍👍😉
Monica you and i both. I like to listen to that part over and over to get those chills every single time 😁
Just got the chills while reading the comment lol
Still can't stop listening to it repeatedly
Guess thats what my body needs right now
My absolute favorite music video of all time. Every so often I drop by and watch it again. The song itself is amazing, then combined with reflective oil pool and the subtle bursts of color silhouettes in that one sequence... gorgeous.
Saw them live as they opened for muse. They're pretty cool. I like it.
Legend has it this video started as an impromptu jam session in a subway.
My sons mother left my son and I, this song has pushed me through.
same here :) alone with 3 sons
Damn dawg. Every day is a gift. You can make it 👍
I had 2 of my stepchildren plus my 2 biological for a while when my ex took off. It was tough, but she's back in their lives and being a mom of sorts. Stand your ground.
God has to make or break you
She wont be broken
❤️❤️ keep pushin
One of those songs that has the power to make you stop from one second to the next. Also a song that teleports me...
Saw them supporting Muse and such a great surprise! Stumbled across Fall in Love at KCRW session and really rated these guys ever since
+Tim Senna (timontheradio) London last night? :D
tommyzoom88 On Monday :)
Yess! I'm such a fan of phantogram though no lie, where were you in the audience?
tommyzoom88 Kind of on the right side opposite where the lead singer started
ha same!
This song speaks to me on so many levels. It helped me out of my abusive relationship and realized the destructive path I was headed down. I love you guys so much your music is amazing and what beautiful people you are to make music and reach out to others who have these emotions.
Also.. the dancing I move the same way when I hear these songs
Amazing song... always on my mind... especially in the loneliest moments.. just a kick in stomach. Loved it... !Makes me dance.. again and again
I'm here for this amazing artist Phantogram I couldn't sleep anymore this morning so I started checking out some tunes.
This is just what I needed to start my day ☀️☕😁
