Lyrics:
This is our decision, to live fast and die young
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun
Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
Forget about our mothers and our friends
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
#MGMT #TimetoPretend #OfficialVideo #HD #Remastered
My mom bought me this CD when I was 12 years old at a Best Buy in 2008. I listened to it all the time. RIP Mom, I love and miss you.
I'm sure your mom loves and misses you too
It's quite stunning that we are approaching 20 years since this song came out. I got a job and office and I wake up for the morning commute.
You will see her again one day.
Your mom bought you CD written 'MGMT' that is indie-psyche band and not totally child or teen-popular music (and with sex/drug/adult theme)
Doubt but cool if it really happen
@epicmetod my parents bought me grand theft auto 🤷♂️
Time To Pretend is one of those songs that you'd vibe to as a child, only to realise how accurate the lyrics are as an adult. Never ever allow this song to die out people x
Seriously and it’s so sad having a mixed bag of a childhood. It really makes you wanna hold onto what you did have as a kid. And if this song is nostalgic for anyone then I would say forgetting then coming back to this song can teach you a lot of things especially the song “kids” it’s like a close friend telling you it’s ok to grow up don’t indulge in being a kid or you’ll loose who your meant to be.
@@walkerfreeman2697it's important to keep track of the past but not lose the way you're walking on
I heard this song for 1st time in 15 years on Instagram. Got a wife and kid now. It hit so fucking hard.
@@stillnic scarily true even for a 20 year old moving out. Life is honestly a gut punch sometimes in the best of ways it’s very unexplainable and idk if I’m comfortable with that but I guess we don’t have a choice
did you know, their song is. initially just created to mock pop song lmao, that is why they created the most catchy tune imaginable and the laziest music clip ever
Anyone here in April 2024
Edit: May 28 2024 yes they are here
Edit: June 1 2024 Glad to see people still here
Of course

Hello motherfuckers
Maybe, maybe
My sister had a boyfriend who died when he was only 17. He loved this song, and he really did struggle with heroin. I only knew him for a short time, but he was the biggest impact on my life. He lived fast and young. He was so wise and chill. Almost like nothing bothered him but I know that everything did. I was only 13. I saw him dead… my sister was trying to revive him and his body regurgitated… that almost last line “we’ll choke on our vomit and that will be the end.”… that shit gets me. I’m 26 now, I miss you and I wish I could have seen you now older than me, and even wiser…
Man...
this is awful feel so bad for you, your sited his and your family
I had a friend like this. Suffered a lot from existencial crisis, as I do. But she couldn't take it, life was too absurd and too much for her. She was the most beautiful soul, bright and very smart. Took her life 2 years ago.
Wow man, thanks for sharing🙏🏽
I’m sorry for your sisters loss. Thank you for sharing. This hits too close to home, I used to be addicted to fentanyl and I OD’d 4 years ago and got resuscitated with cpr by my brother and father. I Hope he finally found peace wherever he may be in the next existence…
This looks like it cost 10 dollars and 1 kg of ecstasy to make
Neven Music Don't forget the LSD
"and"
I don't think you know what ecstasy is lol
I know it sounds funny now. But when this first came out, I was really impressed with the graphics
Don’t forget the Acid and a $3 editor off of fiver
"I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone"... beautiful and sad words
Reality of these days 😂
Covid-19 enters chat
@@DC-zn6oo Looks like someone made a monkeypaw wish
Not with quarantine
Bought it back, no biggie
This came out when i was 19. Finally legal to drink in Canada.
I'm 33 now. 10 months sober. Drinking was fun then. But the party ends.
I'm 34 and also Sober , since I heard this music I fell like 90s again , sadly the time of party really ends
@Mikel_587 amen brother. Good luck on this journey. Happy to be sober but I missed the days when drinking wasn't a need, just a want. Fun and careless, but we can't live in our past. Happy to have those fun times and ready to become a new person.
Real af comment, i remember vibing to this song back then during the party days
Good for you dude !!
@mattymo56 those endless party Nights.., miss those and the friends back , and Riding BMx at street..
“I’m feeling rough, I’m feeling raw, I’m in the prime of my life” is the lyric that’s always stood out to me since I was 14. Now I’m 23 and it hits even harder as i feel I’m actually in the prime of my life, and I’m scared for it to be over. It’s going by so fast.
I’ve always felt that way too, but I’m currently 33 and can say I’m way happier in life now than I ever was in my 20s. I’m physically, mentally, and financially stronger than I’ve ever been, and appreciate life a lot more now. Try not to fear getting older. Embrace it and continue learning and working on bettering yourself every day.
I'm 29 now and amen to that. Life flashed before my eyes, and it just doesn't stop. It's already February like damn. Good luck in life.
Only now at 36 I am able to say I’m living in my prime in all aspects. I used to worry like you do, but getting older is actually nice when you work to keep yourself healthy and nurture your relationships.
same idk who i am yet … just an emotional wreck so far ;_;
I felt that way when I was 15. I’m 35, have a good job, married, etc.
I still feel the exact same way and ask myself the same question.
"I miss my mother and the weight of the world" Knowing I'm grown now and will never feel it quite like I did as a child, this line gets me.
Big facts
it does its like raw but subdued
First time I heard this song was on 3.5g of shrooms that line made me emotional lmao
'Everything must run its course'
This is hard

These words describe the song, but it's also why I'm here!
Only the song (it's terrible and beautiful)... the video mmmm no comments
Yeah, kick-ass song ! video... not so much :p
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened"
Seriously though this song brings back memories like no other
YEP DIGGING UP WORMSEZ 👍
I know it makes me cryyyy
I love how this song goes from rock star hedonism to nostalgia for their youth, family, home and things they are missing out on as they do drugs & get famous. It is a weirdly emotional song for me!
I'll miss the comfort of my mother
And the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father,
Miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I'll miss the boredom
And the freedom and the time spent alone
Por fin alguien que entendió el significado de la canción
“I’ll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home”
This line always cuts a little too deep for me everytime I hear it
it's just so wonderfully nostalgic
Me too
CHF I am
@Music Account u missed
Well we don’t get to keep our pets in the spiritual world so yeah I’m gonna miss them too. Apparently our soulmate is there in the afterlife but that’s not blood fam I spose.
Apparently you don’t even remember it though and personally I’m looking forward to another trip around the sun on earth school. Just gotta make sure I don’t accidentally fall into this marrying someone cos they’re a hot looking person for everyone else trap n I might break my curse and not even need to come back after all 😜
Something tells me the reason we do tho is because life after earth is too perfect and boring, I think we like it this way guys
This song makes me want to live my best life
EXACTLY
Then do it
It makes me wanna go out there and go wherever the fuck I want
You can pretend

Only guys who finish their self off when they pull out can like this.
It's sadder the older you get
I felt that... damn
Heard this the first time when I was 4, damn it feels different now that I'm hearing it again more or less 12 years later
@@Nigel_Camilleri heard it first when I was 11. Didn't like it at first, my dad got the disk for my (then) 5 and a half year old sister, so I associated it with her liking Beiber. After a while, I realized it was different. Really began to love it. I'm 20 now and man, it really hits. And hurts a bit because I fully understand the meaning behind the words now.
@@aidand.7911 20 and its hitting you hard? HA
Couldn’t think of another song that perfectly encapsulates the true spirit of the millennial generation.

When I heard this song on Saltburn it unlocked a memory that I had
Saltburn is rubbish
@@chaz.92”That’s, like, your opinion, man.” ~The Dude
Bro, imagine not knowing this before salt burn was popular
Same bro I hella forgot about this song until hearing it in salt burn, it brought back hella memories
Are there any songs Saltburn HASN'T ruined??
I just realized this is the greatest video ever made.
Omg
So true
Wuuup (yup)
Watch the video called Da1like, from the band Banda Uó. It's pure art.
Cut the bs. No, it's definitely not. Great song though UGLY video.
This is a depressing song with a party vibe
Bro', you really sure about that comment?
That's kind of the point right? Have fun while it lasts
the song is satirical
@MUFC7 ummm ok??
Kind of depressing. Kind of not. But that’s song/life maaaan.
This song makes me sad and happy at the same time.
“We’ll choke on our vomit, and that will be the end”
Hits hard. So many ppl gone like that
One day after being depressed for a very long time i went out to my friend’s house for a party there , and in years i never felt that happy , we had so much fun , and in the middle of the party i got out to smell some fresh air and I laid down on a trampoline and played this song on my phone , then it started raining and I cried of happiness and the tears got mixed with the rain drops , every time i play this song i get shivers remembering that beautiful moment.
All those moments will be lost in time. Like tears in rain.
that is s beautiful, thank you for sharing
That seems like the best moment you f my life. I envy you
Othman Alothman that is a beautiful story!!
Aaron Penfold seems like somebody is pretty insecure about their sexuality
This has to be the BEST indie song EVER. It’s so iconic, the melody is so fresh it feels recent, the lyrics are captivating, I’ve been listening to this song since 2008, I can never get tired of it. Such a great piece
I know exactly what you mean, I enjoyed it 12 years ago on the radio but it still sounds so refreshing in 2020
siberian breaks is very good too
U gotta listen the ocean blue
funnily enough they made the song as a joke :P
come back here after a long time, i miss this era so much even if it wasn"t perfect , music was something so fresh and different.
Anyone here in may 2024?
Ayyoo...just learned the name to this song from a UA-cam short...hell yes!
Duh

@@Kurtkuddlerda ! 😊
Yep
I remember watching TV late at night back on the days of cable, very late maybe 2 or 3 AM on vh1 or mtv, hearing this for the first time. Hadn’t heard anything like it before. The video appearing like it was made on an inexpensive budget, yet highly entertaining and quite trippy.
This song will always be relevant because no matter who you are, this song instantly transports you to a specific time and place in your life when you felt most alive. Truly inspiring. Thanks MGMT.
HahaLesbians Primary School, playing Twilight Princess on my GameCube
Being a child : )
i never felt more alive then when listening to this song!
i swear man. this song really takes you back
It certainly takes me to a place in my life...when I was totlly strung out on meth.
The more you listen to the lyrics the more honest and depressing they get.
There's something strangely cathartic about it.
Yeah, I loved it from the first time I heard it but once I payed attention to the lyrics I wasn't able to listen to it again for that reason..
Yes true, but you just wanted to use the word cathartic because it sounds fancy. :)
the lyrics are incredably depressing.... and true
I felt depressed after listening to this and I still listen to it idk
@@ahzsknifethrowingchannel8182 It's probably because it's nostalgic as fuck and reminds us of moments we never had experienced in a long time such as having the energy as kids and teenagers, so now this song is sad to listen to since its a reflection of the better times we can never have again.
"get jobs at offices and wake up for the morning commute" always gets me... Never give up on your childhood dreams!
Don't lose your dinosaur
Always live for liberty, find solutions, fuck living in servitude except by your own command :)

Too late
Yeah fuck office jobs
How it feels when you start drinking alcohol based on alcohol percentage and not flavor
Listen, there are two types of people. One type pays extra money to assert their alleged class/status even if they aren't getting anything for the extra price. These people often overpay, which makes them foolish. They also end up rewarding what are fundamentally scammers in the market. Their obsession with class tacitly says that wealth makes one person better than another. Overall, it's not a good look. Then, there are people that figure out what something should cost based on the thing they are buying (stuff like what you get for the added cost) and based on how much they value certain things in that product. So in the first category, you have people buying US$7,000 jackets when there's not much different between that and, say, a US500 jacket. The second category still might buy a high-end product if the price actually lends itself to a better product. For example, if someone plays video games, a US$3,000 PC will give a completely different experience compared to a US$1,400 PC. All it takes is a person like this to value fidelity in video games, and they make the purchase. There are people poor to rich and all amounts in between in both categories. I always respect someone who has large wealth but still buys based on logically figuring out what is worth how much, not getting scammed.
When it comes to alcohol, I naturally had to test the idea that more expensive stuff tastes better than less expensive stuff. After testing out various cheap and expensive alcohols, I figured out all alcohol tastes like ass. Once I figured that out (losing a little money for the expensive testing), I have always bought the cheapest stuff possible. There is no transition point from buying for "taste" to buying for cheapness. Basically, people who buy for "flavor" are just trying to assert their class whereas everyone else understands pretty much all alcohol tastes the same, bad. There might be some exceptions here like beers actually have a variety of flavors that people learn to love. However, in my experience, all beers taste like shit. All whiskeys taste like shit. All tequilas taste like shit. All vodkas taste like shit. It all tastes like shit.
Long story short: Buy what is most cost effective in the category of alcohol you find most appetizing (although you should still think it tastes like shit. Just a more acceptable form of shit than the other shit). Anyone buying more expensive stuff is either in their testing phase like I did to figure this out, or they are incredibly shallow people who want to appear as higher class compared to others, trying to imply they are superior to others. Well, they're just fools. I know extremely rich people that buy from the well just the same as extremely poor people.
Is it just me or does this song ALWAYS show up in movies about a teenager in highschool?
3lement2010 because it literally explains every highschool students life
anxiousamoeba26 To be honest I don't really listen to the lyrics in this song. I just like the beat.
Marc Gonzales The fuck? Cause I like this song I have no taste in music. We all have different tastes in music kid. I hate country, but I don't tell country music lovers they have no taste in music.
That would explain why it's used in the new Spider-Man trailer.

My older sister showed me this music video when I was 13 and I’ve been listening to MGMT ever since. Crazy how it’s been 14 years and im still not tired of listening to this song or album. Oracular Spectacular is one of the best albums of all time.
Remember guys, if you do acid while listening to this song you may even get to be a part of this music video.
Lol
Billy Christopher been there 😂👀 4 tabs in
if there was a top comment god for youtube i would call him
It worked I tried
Lmao.
Teared up a bit listening to this at work. Growing up is weird.
same here man, its rough growing up
I remember thinking unironically that the premise of this song was my life's goal. Ended up a hopeless drug addict with no prospects. Good song though.
God damn you ain't wrong homie
ik i be crying everyday like this can’t really be it....... i just don’t understand how anyone can accept this as life bruh
growing up is weird for sure but definitely worth it. It's like a blooming flower under the sun compared to a seed in a dark bag. This song is a hymn of lost seeds. Have faith in yourself and push forward through anxiety, boredom, frustration, loneliness, depression and the rest. There's a good life hidden behind all of that, your good life. Ask for help, share your troubles. Family, friends, mentors, books, therapist, church - use everything you can to get through bullshit as fast as possible so you could spend the rest of your precious time in joy and love. It's worth it 100%. I'm sure, you'll figure it out if you choose to do so 😉 As the good song goes: "Take nothing less Than the supreme best. Do not obey to what people say, Cause you can pass the test. Just move on up..."
Anyone here May 2024?
Always!!!
Oui ! Moi .. et pour longtemps ENCORE à l'écoute de ce chef d'œuvre ! ..
Yep
Hereee 🙊
Meeeeeee!!! Happy days!
I will never forget how it felt the first time I heard this song (myspace days, feels like eons ago). This song truly did hit like no other. The strange misty primordial sound at the beginning. The imposing opening notes and chords that soar as the song progresses. The dark heavy, yet easily accessible lyrics. The wonderfully catchy drum beat that makes this easy to dance to. The beautiful reverb and surrounding cacophony. Such a large sound. All emotions all at once, as others have said.
I don’t think a lot of people realise just how good MGMT are and especially this song. At the tender age of 51 I love it. It’s simply about youth and your dreams. It truly is a masterclass of a song.
I'm 25 but this band grabbed me. It was no surprise when when Bono, Paul McCartney, Iggy Pop, and Lou Reed all said they are also fans. Check out "So Many Days" a song Andrew made when he was 16. Its clear this dude is a musical genius.
I'm 54 and this one still makes smile, think of my childhood, tap my toes
Wow, I’ve just turned 50, NEVER. Heard of these guys, but a good friend turned me here. It’s a catchy tune, doesn’t remind me of my youth, but good to jam on!
@@jrny7777 Check out Ariel Pink who they’ve worked with. I’ve gone down the rabbit hole hard and he is quickly becoming my favorite modern musician.
You sound like you're pretending to be 51
This is so fucking sad & beautiful at the same time. Happiness & sadness. Our temporary existence. It’s the essence of life.
I don't find it sad.. especially after the video. When your tearing raw meat up like a caveman. And riding on the back of a flying cat.. I just get more curious and disturbed.
I find it sad when people in the 21st century haven’t learned both “your/you’re”s

Can't lie, I secretly wish MGMT got off their high-horse and returned to producing dope ass songs like this one here.
Why does this song make more sense the older i get?
Because it was written with depth and insight on the growing process. It starts with the journey within.
@M.U.F.C um.....what?
🧩 m.ua-cam.com/video/7YUVI03Eoqc/v-deo.html
Thats nostalgia baby and the new feeling was a discovery along with the term itzelf ..for me anyway . The older i got the more o understood its definition and get this ,.. the feeling gets even MORE intense with age and with more reasons to trigger it too. Im 44 and i now feel nostalgia as often as i do the rest of the typical moods amd feelings we get . And it kind of satisfyingly sucks if tbat makes sense . I love memories but i hate the longing and realization of how ungrateful i can be with little things and moments we all take for granted .
Because it’s about growing old duh 🙄
I swear to god, the louder this song is, the better it is
Finally, somebody that makes sense

I remember when I was 17 and taking acid for the first time, I went to a party with some older kids in my neighborhood and had a great experience on it, around 2 am I decided to walk home and I remember when I got to my bedroom I stumbled through the dark and managed to tun the tv on, and when the tv lit up I seen the mtv logo in the bottom of the corner and this music video had just started to play, at the time I didnt know the song or who mgmt was but I remember watching the video and it making total sense to me, that night changed my life and really opened my eyes to the world.

your comment makes me confused
The most 00s music video ever
OMG, I keep falling back to this album whenever I get depressed or blue for it's positive energy and unique quality to uplift my spirit from a band i have only come to know in the past year! AND, I'm a 72 yo Dj who knows his music and art forms, and this just make me want to eat shrooms, run on a each thru the surf or naked in the woods listening to the wildlife, LOL. Heard at the gym on their sound system one day, thank Shiva and Buddha! Cheers MGMT, reform and come back and TOUR please!
Indie music from the 00s was so great. I miss it...
Kiroz92 right?! Did you ever get into Yves Klein Blue? I miss them...
I dont think you know what indie is
Kiroz92 this is psychadelic indie though, difference. You might as well say 'psychadelic' means creative these days, cause musicians in this decade are too stupid to be creative without lsd. back then it just put an edge on the great artists that didn't necessarily NEED it.
***** you, my friend, are the dumbest creature on this planet.
it gives me a massive boner when people talk shit about me. i'm into getting my balls kicked and shit. keep telling me how retarded i am as i jack off my meat
THIS TOOK ME 3 LONG FUCKIN YEARS TO FIND THIS SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD SINCE I WAS 15 AND IM 19 NOW AHHHHHHHH
This song came out when I was 22 I think... Enjoy every second of your 20s! They go fast!
I feel you
happy for u mate, enjoy it
That sounds like an extremely precious moment the feeling must've been incredible.

@@kevinheatcoat2190 you're living it right now
*sheds one single tear*
As a kid this sounded like an anthem, as an adult this sounds depressing like someone singing about how bad life is and they're caught between two bleak choices, not knowing the billion other options out there of they just wait to grow and look around.
So cool revisiting this and seeing how my take on it changed
I'm 33. This is an hymn to our generation
This song represents a color that doesn't exist
Like sum..acid...wtf what color omg- youre right
I feel like this song is purple
What if it represents the start on earth of basically a fallout 4 map but without the nuke part
Thanks high person.
You can’t represent any song with any color so I guess you’re right.
We don’t search for old songs...
we search for old memories

Totally agree. Like you missed out but you know you didn't really. Youth goes so quickly. Hit 40 this year. Seems like yesterday I listened to this.
lol i'm a kid and I feel ya
Wait a minute...You guys aren't the real Avengers
Tommywood I could tell because hulk gave it away
Wooh! That was awesome!
tell me, do you bleed
Tommywood I can tell hulk gives it away
Tommywood ,yh dude😂😂😂
this song will always hit like a brick to the face. full of emotions and memories. i always tear up while listening, as im literally dancing my heart out, singing out loud.
typed while sitting in a chair, in front of the screen, sitting completely still ... i love the song too though.
I MISS 2007. When good music was still around.
I remember listening to this song in 2014 when I was 12 years old, hearing the lyrics "I miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog, and my home" and how I still have all of those at that moment, and slowly but surely they're all leaving.
November 2017 is when my dad moved out and we don't see each other that much now,
May 2020 is when my sister moved out
December 2020 is when we had our dog put down because of the tumours and the amount of pain she was in
August 2021 is when I'll be moving out of my mom's place, out of my room that I've had for the last 19 years.
My sister, my father, my dog and my home, the only remaining one of these will be gone in less than a month. Sometimes it hurts to grow up..
Life is a struggle where we are allowed to hunt for some joy
@@FlyingSpring Hell yeah, life is wack
Hey man good luck out there I’m a sophomore in hs and times going by fast and not really looking forward to it but music like this helps me for some weird reason prepare for it but good luck man I’m sorry about all that and may God be with you
@@lukeirwin9377 You too brother, I appreciate the kind words. We gotta cherish every moment, good or bad!
Yeah I live alone and it can suck at times. My parents do live close by to me, and by close, I mean we're on the same street. But it does suck to grow up, have a job, and stay away from your family 😞 Please keep moving forward though. "I'm praying for the rest of your lifetime to be peaceful". Something my co-worker said to me 🤣 good luck brotha!
My throat and chest hurt listening to these lyrics, im 25 and I feel like I was promised the world, I was top of my class, a champion athlete, but now I'm sitting alone 30 miles away from my nearest friend, no car, no money, no job.
My heart tears in two thinking about my school days, I feel like breaking down crying, I've hit a dead end in life and I just want to go back, I'd give anything I own to go back.
Don't give up buddy, one must imagine sisyphus happy!
Life can always start up anew
Me too the nostalgia of school days depresses me the most. I was in my final year of school and doing well in maths and then 6 years later I finished my masters degree in engineering only to realise that engineers basically get minimum wage here in the UK and it is impossible to get a job plus I hated the job
@@tyrants3062 Life's great.
@@spencerreppe7558 yes I accepted that I dont need a corporate job to be happy just enjoy every experience as it comes
People will still be listening to MGMT in 10,000 years
Remembered this song. Saltburn sent me back here.
"I've got Windows Movie Maker, and this old CD with 10,000 clipart on it"
"Fuck it, that'll do."
This is that comment of the year kind of stuff.
So bad that it's good
Lol pretty much 😂
like 666
This song is a storm of feels. It's whimsical, sad, nostalgic and nihilistic all in one. Will forever be one of my favs.
Yessssss
god thats such a good description of it
Sad? No it's not. It's upbeat and motivating.
@@captaindeadpool2655 are you not listening to the lyrics? It's about regret over living life too fast and being separated from everything you loved
Good lyrics can be thoroughly presented through the singing, need no fancy edits! Well said
Glad to see ABBA making a comeback.
The first time I heard this song was when I made the comment above. I just saw a video that said the record company actually had the song redone to make it sound like an ABBA tune. LOL
When you realise you don't need fun to have alcohol
What
I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms.
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world.
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home.
Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone.
Sucks to be u
I'm glad you've commented a section of the lyrics. Thank you so much.
lenard ggor there lyrics
***** Because maybe, maybe it might reflect their emotions at the moment of listening to those lyrics. And when looking at the likes it got there might be a bunch of people feeling the same.
MrObame yeah i already knew the lyrics
I’m 50, and I love this song. Every 7 years or so, I’ve had to say goodbye to a life chapter. This song embodies an earlier one. Letting go of childhood, and grappling with gritty reality.
I hear ya. But I think you can overdo gritty reality. I’m not far off fifty but still tempted to dabble in “childhood” occasionally. Like right now, after watching that a few times, I wouldn’t say no to just half a tab, hehe…
The nursing home is calling you ol head lol
Letting go of childhood sucks! The system of working 40 hour weeks is destructive to the human spirit. We're supposed to continue exploring the world and having fun as adults - that's why it's so difficult to let go.
@@CrispyHulk1 I completely agree. I think if you don’t hold on to some aspects of being a kid it would be like dying. You need to remember what that feels like, and how to access it. I spose if you have kids maybe you do it through them? But nah, that would suck coz they grow up and leave and then you’re just old. Yeah nah ya gotta stay young and in touch with the things that make you feel really alive. x
@@karenmcilvena4541 I guess that’s why older people often say they feel like they’re in their 20’s. My dad told me once how he loved walking through the toy sections again thanks to me being a child. I agree that we have to be strong and brave enough to continue being who we truly are
Too many flinstone gummies
14g blue meanie trip
Green screen in 2009 hit different.
Who else knew this song before the spiderman trailer?
Famezz me😂
Famezz same, just never knew it's name 😅
Famezz me
Famezz me 4
Famezz Everyone who has watched a teen movie tbh
To me this song is about how you're fated to pretend to enjoy your lifestyle regardless of the path you take in life. In the song, there's a fantasy of rejecting a traditional path in life that is "boring", and deciding to live like a rock-star: partying, doing drugs, dating models, etc. However, you'll still miss your family, your time alone, having meaningful relationships, etc. You're fated to pretend to enjoy it to be happy, even if you may wish something else.
thanks.
That’s an awesome view. I always thought that you’re fated to pretend to be civilized. For a lack of better words. You pretend to be professional and go through life using technology while ignoring primal instincts to enjoy things like sex, drugs and nature. I can’t really put it into words but it reminds me that humans are animals. That our primal instincts and animosity are just apart of us and that participating in society is mostly pretending to be civilized. Again, for lack of better words
that makes a lot of sense
I have a micro penis, but And if we think even further, all this video is about pretending. That’s why it looks “fake”. Everything Andrew and Ben do in this video is not real.
@president camacho is Right
Did anyone notice how cute he is at 0:49-0:52 while holding the baby and trying not to laugh? It makes me smile everytime I watch!
Is that the same baby from the kids music video?
He’s the reason I’m watching this
People don't miss the good old days, they miss youth.
Producer: alright guys, I think that’s enough green screen.
Director: MORE!!
Producer: I really think....
Director: MOOOORRREEE!!!
Should have asked for more Cowbell
Best song ever
I thought it could have done with abt more cowbell
Jake JJacob i was about to say that when I saw his comment, nice job 😂
Let's add a pencil holder helmet
there might be a chance this is the greatest song ever created.
It is one of the songs which should be in the category, it has a meaning, it could be nostalgic and you can get emotional out of all of them mixing together.
But flash delirium is better
Marcus Deakin Both are good. Congratulations also. But I feel Your Life Is A Life is a bit underrated.
kubamax9 Kubowski I'm not that big on Your Life is a lie, I mean its a good track and I like it and listen to it a fair bit but I much prefer the other songs from the self titled like Alien Days and plenty of girls in the sea
Marcus Deakin Yeah I get it. Of course, everyone has their preferences over some songs.
I dreamed of them at a show singing this song, it was incredible, I just remember that I couldn't stop filming!
this is so trippy man
This song brings back so many memories its not funny.
eggs dee
Same tho. Even tho I was like 8 years old when it came out. Although I don't really remember ever hearing it back then. But its still so damn nostalgic and sounds familiar
Same here mate. Other songs that do it for me are 'Post cards from Italy' by Beruit (can't listen to that without welling up) and most of the early stuff by The Strokes.
The song pushes all the buttons. Makes me feel every emotion.
If you like MGMT you might like a band called the Doublejumps
It’s 100x that off shrooms bro it was crazy asf I missed everything! And the song kept replying over and over during my trip
Una nueva emoción.
Non 😢7🎉🎉😢🎉
yes it does me too his life and lyrics are what I went and going through I love this guy
This song and the visuals feel like a weird dream
After reading the comments, I am just shocked that I discovered this one at the age of 25 (thanks dad btw), still young though, right? (confirm me)
I know they said they created this music out of a kind of "joke/mock", but 15 year old me was so in love with it, good times.
30 year old me still is.
30 year old you is young hun.
@@giovannigiorgio4622 🤗😍😘
I know right, I first listened to this when I was 15, now I'm 22 the song become more relatable.
30 year old Gang 🔥
i remember smoking weed at 15 listening to this and electric feel, original classics, 30 year old gang indeed
I just turned 40, but I still feel 24, and this song hits harder than ever before 😭❤
Ahhh Those nights in the early 2000s.... when we were young and happy...
same here
I was in my late 20s when this was coming out..now I'm 42. Time moves fast!!! :(
Early 2000’s was probably best time to be 20 with all its crazyness, I turned 18 right before covid started and now I am 20 and I couldnt do shit
@@kellrockets101 same here and it sure does..dang it feels like it was only last week 😆
This song is so NOSTALGIC.
It makes me cry every time I listen to it because of all the memories that come with this.
I remember when I was younger and I heard this song, but I wasn't very invested in it, but now, at 16, this song is the most relatable thing in my life.
this was written ironically and that is iconic
Ye
it hurts my feelings
Yeah it's amazing lol but also it shows that pop music is shit I mean anyone with a good enough generic beat and generic ass lyrics can just blow up
@@weirdactivities2220 Yes it just shows how basic most people are nowadays.
@@DormitionOrDominion its still a good song too
