Lyrics:
Assassins of Youth
Even when they tell the truth
Another little part of you dies
Their truth is a lie
Assassins of Youth
Shoot whoever they can shoot
They are still here going on and on
You’re already gone
I was young
Yesterday
But everything has changed
After today
Now I don't know
What to do
Oh my younger self
Oh I
I miss you
Yes I do
Assassin of Youth
Even when they tell the truth
Another little part of you dies
The truth is a lie
Assassin of Youth
Shoot whoever they can shoot
They are still here going on and on
You’re already gone
Gone
I was young
Yesterday
But everything is changed after today
And I don't know
What to do
Oh my younger self
Oh I
I miss you
Yes I do
I guess I couldn't see
The joke it was on me How sad to think in time
Even your death will die
I can't believe their lies
I can’t believe you’ve died
They shoot whoever they can shoot
Assassins of youth
Imagine hotboxing one of those during their concert. I'd be lying on the floor of the bubble, straight vibing
Thats a solid idea.
life goal set
Would 100% go to a concert like this
I was there, Bubble 1 Row 1..And it was amazing!!!! A wonderful experience.
How hot was it inside the bubble? How was going to the bathroom? Was it easy to get a drink?
How did it stay inflated yet allow you to breathe? Did any bubbles pop?
@@bt4dapeople We where in the bubbles for 2 songs. Assassins of Youth and Brother Eye. They played them twice. They let us use the bathroom while we where standing in line waiting to go inside. They provided 2 bottles of water and a cloth to wipe down any condensation that would happen because of breathing and sweating.
@@reneeduran5352 They used leaf blowers to inflate the bubbles. Breathing was super easy no issues at all. It did however get hot inside them. Recommend to ware less cloths. Shorts and a tank top or something. Even if your cold at first, after awhile you're gonna get hot. No bubbles popped, they where very durable. Everyone there seemed to have an amazing time. It was a wonderful experience.
Wow! Thanks Greg for the details. Sounds like it was a lot of fun!
Just saw them live post pandemic in Vancouver, 2023, and at 52 years old, the BEST concert I have been to, and did I mention I was in my 20s in the 90s?
Who knew that bubble concept of theirs would come in so handy!!
Just a matter of time, is what they said about it. Mask wearing has been common sense in high volume populated areas for a great deal of time now... And, the concept isn't new (mask wearing).
@@f_USAF-Lt.G Pretty sure the OP meant that Wayne has been crowd surfing in a big plastic bubble for years now.
Imagine the queue at the bar though.
Nicely socially distanced.
What are you saying!? Beer tube in/Cath tube out??? 😂😂😂
You just have to pregame with a nice cocktail of substances. And wear an adult diaper
I can't imagine the queue to the bathrooms 😁😁😁😁😁
Lol!
In any other year this would seem very strange.
What a weird time we live in.
Pandemic or not this seems like something Wayne would try.
Yup. I’m waiting for the band with big enough cajones to truly buck the system in true punk fashion. Tired of being sheep
Nothing the Flaming Lips do is strange...it's just Wayne being what he feels like at the time.
It was planned before pandemic actually XD
I'm still not used to it man I still live like the 2000's. Future seems like a dream that's not real to me.
I’ve been listening to American Head for weeks and always waking up with Assassins Of Youth ringing in my ears. ;-)
My fave track off American Head. Love the cosmic bleepy bloops with acoustic guitar strummy propulsion. Only the Lips pull this vibe off effortlessly. While Wayne speaks of universal themes we all can identify with. It’s a potent mix id be happy to see them explore on the next album. I miss the spacey and lush melodies and heart of Yoshimi and Soft Bulletin era.
This is an instant classic.
literally the perfect idea for a concert. no one slamming into me, no one touching me, plenty of space between all of us.
Sounds like you don't like concerts
But only 100 people.
Yeah and tickets to cost $5000.00
The problem I can see is that it looks like there's no way to leave if you suddenly have to pee or something. Otherwise I agree.
@@kioku119 very true, and I pee a lot, so it might be more of a nightmare
I saw you guys in Philly when dude told his story about descending from the sky in a hamster ball, I don't know how many times he told that story but I'm glad you got your hamster ball, nguueird thing is we had them as kids and they smothered their babies :(
Please oh please use the bubbles for your LA show! I’m ready to be in one, & hear my favorite band with the best fans!
LA is a trashcan
Album of the year. All the feels.
The Flaming Lips have that unique knack of making the melancholy joyful, my favourite track off of the new Album, I would love a full 10 minute dance remix.
True and this is incredible
A friend told me he went to a show they handed out laser pens then had everyone shoot them at a disco ball he said it was one of the best shows he’s ever seen and he’s a major concert goer
Thanks.
Just to be clear the video is made to match the music however the audio is taken from the album. A great accomplishment of the Flaming Lips .
Wish I was there.
I saw Space Bubble Show #8 and it felt SO good be at a live show. It also feels good to know what it's like in one of those bubbles. AMAZING SHOW!!!
M
All born in 1961 I salute you! We got to a magic age!🥰
Love this album... amazing band
This song just popped out at me. Made me feel light are airy. Much more rolling than rock.
Beautiful.
Love the flaming lips where songs are great and so are there videos
Love YOU All, Thank you!!!!
Legend
Excellent representation of our society and how we all inevitably reside back to our own little bubble of existence.
F-ing Brilliant 🙌❤️
This is spectacular
When my grandchildren ask me what COVID was like, I'll show them this video.
I wanna go back in time and be there
I'm absolutely slow to catch this. 😬😁 I saw it in my notifications, didnt watch right off, lost it, remembered just this very moment and searched. It's absolutely genius and I am now a fan for life!
SUBSCRIBED 💛
Wonderful though so sad
Humanity has leaved most of their time in their bubbles we are not seeing its manifestation
Genius!!!!!
Can't wait to see them in Jan!
One day, when we finally get back to a pre-pandemic type of concert, the artists will be estatic, jam sessions would go on forever, and we will all cry a sigh of relief and joy! We will sing shoulder to shoulder and feel so united! I can't wait!
That's the spirit!
Don't hold your breath.
@@improcat1 I said One day! That could literally be at any time...
It it could not..
@@giannisoikonomo5693 doubt it!
Awesome!!!
Fabulous
Wow takes me back.... Good song.
My favorite song on American Head (for now at least).
Mine to! I also love Flowers of Neptune 6
So many good ones
Brother Eye is my favorite :) (and this one)
I love Wayne’s voice an all but holy shit Steven sounds better at this point in their careers and I’d live to hear him sing more as he’s the mastermind of this operation and was since he joined the band.
Wayne coyne is a genius
So good!
Just tried to buy tickets for December 11th concert in OKC. It sold out in under a minute!
Amazing!
Please! Release American Head in Asia store. Can’t wait to listen it!
My favorite song right now, it’s on repeat a lot.
This is so bad ass. rock on y'all!
It’s a trip…discovered this band recently from Bad Days after watching Batman. Then finding this song right out here of him singing about the same youth he had in that song. Love this music love the freedom in it.
What a wonderful song!
Nice work guys
Mira hijo, cuando era joven asistí a uno de los conciertos más bizarros de la historia...déjame enseñarte como era...
Esperemos que el hijo no tenga que preguntar: ¿qué es un concierto?
@@musibaba70 ojala
Que hermoso Performance me encanta
"Excuse me, can you tell me where the rest room is?"
😂👋 I just about laughed so hard I fell off couch..Excellent comment!!
Beanstalk Giant was like "...man that Caviar looks fresh. It's all still wrigglin and it even sounds delicious..."
Honestly, that's what I'm saying. Idk how they all didn't get eaten! Yoshimi must've been there to battle one more giant yet
Love the melancholy at the loss of youth mixed with the celebration of youth!
Epic!
Bubble concert...amazing
Cool
This was my soundtrack of the pandemic
Great tune! Lips Rule!
Howe Awesome is that! :-)
I'd have a panic attack in that bubble.
How long can u be in a bubble before you run out of oxygen? Or how does it work lol? I’m legit curious, I’ve never been in a bubble. This looks amazing.
It was supposed to be ok for 3 people for over an hour. So propably 3 hours at least? They used leafblowers to pump some cold air inside whenever needed I think.
Amazing on every possible level
It’s so sad that some people of my Generation seem to shy away from The Flaming Lips! Too close to home perhaps........🤒
Like they rocking out in a bubble bath.
This has got to be the coolest thing I've seen in a very long, long time. So creative.
That looks lit I would honestly would love to go a concert and be in a bubble the whole time cause it seems like a lot of fun
Right up until there's a fire and you can't escape because you're trapped in a plastic bubble
@@TheSoonToBePurgedJackMeHoff55 It would be pretty easy. Are you just a klutz or something?
I can't tell if this is a live recording. It sounds just like the record
This is simply phenomenal in all respects
That was a lot of fun! I was the guy in the blue shirt waving in the last second of the video lmao
Can you breathe fine that bubble ? Is it weird to keep your balance?
The air is fine though the more you exert yourself the foggier it gets, and balance is easy because you are held in place by other people’s bubbles on all sides, more importantly though if you trip on something on the ground in the bubble it is easy to catch yourself.
You were in the guy with a blue shirt.
You were in the guy.
IN the GUY.
How long can you breathe in one of these?
Wonder if this is in line with fire security measures. How long would it take for the people to escape the bubbles to get out in case of an emergency ...
Never thought about that. I thought being in the bubble would be great but now I'm not so sure. You've a thoughtful mind.
Nice!
simplesmente GENIAL! um salve aqui do Brasil
No Doubt
bucket list...better yet, bubble list.
DOOOOPEEEEEE
I cant believe It! thats why we still in this problem!
The bubble boy!!!
EU AMO VOCÊS! 😭❤️❤️❤️
Brave New Bubble
Cool video and a nice gimmick but I'd hate to go to a show like this. Jumping around in the crowd with confetti and balloons and awesome friends is what makes a Lips show for me.
How they ventilate inside the bubble?
Where do I find a bubble like these?
So beautiful ❤️
I FREAKIN LOVE THIS SONG!!! BUTTT......If I understand the lyrics, ITS A VERY DARK AND SAD
.
Terrific commentary on the state of play, where we're all in our own bubbles and true community has been eroded...for the sake of....
anyone know what that synth at 1:56 is?
супер, welcome Vladivostok
F#@! YEAH
How do you do a Wall of Death with those things...
Hello. May we use this footage on Good Morning Britain please? Thank you! GMB
How much was the concert ticket for this? Anyone know?
♥️❤️
Can't help thinking of the Seinfeld Bubble Boy episode.
Lol. there's no Moops!
@@samreilly4360 😄👍
Yo I know a dude, want to upgrade these bubbles? Fractal matrioska spheres, ussr quality?
YEAH YEAH YEAH! AMAZING VIDEO!!!!!!!!!
Love this.
