The instruments in this song are incredibly unique and fantastic, along with the sci-fi theme playing along with it! Also, "I can't get a job but I live with my mom" is a classic mood.
The sound still feels absolutely tropical… the same jungle but in a different light. An abrupt progression, as the fire had been lit and the secret is now revealed: This is the music to which those creatures of the night from ’Zaba’ dance and chant and do all their wild and wyrd rituals. They want to be humans.
+Sleftnut I'm mexican and this doesn't look mexican at all, not a single bit. The sound is there, might be arguable but I can hear it too. Anyway this new jungle is marvelous!
5 YEARS HOW US THIS SONG STILL SO GOOD, ITS LITERALLY AN ART PIECE OR MORE. I LITERALLY CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO IT. Since always and till now, is still my favourite Glass animals song, I just can't afford how good it is.
Something about this song is sort of empowering, I can totally see myself hula hooping to this, and, in fact, I think I might just go and do that now haha

I was with my friend and he said ‘what’s you’re favorite song?’. I said ‘Life Itself’, and he was like, ‘what?’. ‘Life itself is a song,’ I said. Then he looked at me and became quiet. ‘Whoa, that’s kinda deep,’ he said. 😂
at first, when i just started soundcloud, i didnt like this song like pork soda and the other side of paradise, but now i realize, i missed out on some stuff. it has meaning and its abusloutly beautiful
I love this song about Autism. It perflectly conveys a sense of someone feeling out of sync with societal expectations, experiencing struggles with independence, and engaging in behaviors or coping mechanisms (i.e. listening to static) that might be seen as eccentric. Paired with the awkward guy that represents this song that's obsessed with ray guns and lasers.
I love reading UA-cam comments about my favorite bands and their songs....seeing how the music affects everyone so similarly but so different...makes me happy
this was the song that introduced me to glass animals back in 2018! i'm so happy to see them now dominating the charts and slowly becoming known in the mainstream music scene with glass animals! keep going!
This song is my exactly the feeling I get relapsing into mental illness. "gotta get back, gotta get free". the beat makes you feel like you're almost chasing something. relapse in a nutshell
Crazy how many people found out about glass animals from a dnf fanfic on ao3 lmao they definitely deserve the attention! (Hello if you were here before that as well lol) i always find myself coming back to bangers like this
I know that 99% won't do this... But my channel is fully of funny, sexy, and creative vine compilations. Check out my channel for once I will prove to u that I worth it......
i remember hearing this for the first time and it was instantly my favorite song, ever. even after all these years, it still retains that title. a classic🥂
some people think it's a lot louder and messier than Zaba, and at first i thought the same, but after second listening it's definitely growing on me... it's not the same as Zaba but still has that same vibe. Can't wait for the album!!!
Alright, i was waiting for this. This is so good. You guys changed your style but kept the Glass Animals vibes. Love you guys, looking forward to see you again on live. You guys rock!
Shoutout to that one person on TikTok that recommended this song to all the burnt out gifted kids with inferiority complexes because they didn't "exceed their full potential", wouldn't've found this song without you
YOU ARE SUPER FUNNY. I MEAN ONE PERSON SAID IT SOUNDED INDIAN AND YOU ALL JUMPED ON IT AND MADE YOUR OWN RIPPED OFF FUNNY SEMI ORIGINAL COMMENTS. HAHHAHA YOU ARE AWESOME.
I listened to glass animals before the heat waves..thing.. (hello if ur here from that).. even tho they are getting more popular I think they aren't talked about enough.. anyone else?
Yup, happily been here since ZABA. Their music and aesthetic speaks to me more than any other band, and I'm glad that they have a great community of fans who are similarly drawn to them. I want them to be as successful as *they* want to be and not just what others want them to be. Creating in such an organic and not manufactured way is one of the reasons they're so special and I hope that doesn't change.
@@ChuffedLemon I was also here since zaba : ) I would love to see more bands with more organic and bands with a great vibe in general. They are also the most sustained band and fanbase I have seen, it's incredible . Again I would really like to see more bands like themselves so I wish you the most of luck for the future.
This is one of those songs that I constantly want to listen to but I try not to do that so I don't burn it out! Such an amazing song!
+erik colsla you can't burn it out. I tried.
It's true. I probably listen to Glass Animals daily. Never gets old.
pretty much, I have yet to find a time that it wasnt good for
this song still has yet to burn out on me
heard one of their new songs live at Red Rocks, looks like this album will be way more colorful and upbeat
man i wish they repeated "i look fantastic" more bc it sounds so sick
YES! exactly!
"She said I look fat but I look fantastic" is my favourite line in this song I love the way it sounds
Its such a iconic line!

"she said I look fat, but I look FANTASTIC"

Be the change you want to see in the world!
Everyone replied 3 years later. Dang
And not just any dance, but a perfectly synchronized Bollywood musical number.

Lyrics:
Daddy was dumb, said that I'd be something special
Brought me up tough but I was a gentle human
Said that he loved each of my two million freckles
When I grew up, was gonna be a superstar
I can't get a job so I live with my mom
I take her money but not quite enough
I sit in the car and I listen to static
She said I look fat but I look fantastic
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Be like them, lean back and breathe
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Be like them, lean back and breathe
I'm waking up, lost in boxes outside Tesco
Look like a bum sipping codeine Coca-Cola
Thought that I was northern Camden's own Flash Gordon
Sonic raygun, gonna be a superstar
I can't get a job so I live with my mom
I take her money but not quite enough
I make my own fun in grandmama's basement
Said I look mad, she said I look wasted
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Be like them, lean back and breathe
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Be like them, lean back and breathe
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Be like them, lean back and breathe
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Be like them, lean back and breathe
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Be like them, lean back and breathe
I thought it was “Lean back now” ?
It is.
I was with my friend and he said ‘what’s you’re favorite song?’. I said ‘Life Itself’, and he was like, ‘what?’.

Weird song to cry to but hey, I'd it for the aesthetic, am I right?
Their music makes me feel so nostalgic, it brings back memories of an old friend that introduced me to them. I miss him 😭
this is the song that got me hooked on glass animals in middle school, just graduated and i still can’t get enough
This song literally describes life itself.
This song's goddamn chorus. Ohhhhhhh it's sooooo gooood!
Listening to this makes me feel like Im submerged in a pool and theres water surrounding my ears
That's what all their songs sound like tbh
Pools :)
It's the bass + effects that do that 😀
This isn’t a school essay just say you feel like you’re in a pool
