- Lyrics and Ruben's explanation of the song below:
Aurora Borealis, me for her for real it’s lust
The love can’t be heard above
Everyone acts like a day drinker (yeah)
We eat crickets
In the future
Just tastes like
“Far-from-home”
Drink Chicha
In the Jungle
That sounds great
Im kinda busy, could you call back again?
Im sure you’ll come back
Til then I
Can’t keep checking my phone (no)
We read the universe might be holographic
Traffic lights might reverse my love
Go ahead and traverse the winter (yeah)
We eat crickets
In the future
Just tastes like
“Far-from-home”
Drink Chicha
In the Jungle
That sounds great
Im kinda busy, could you call back again?
Im sure you’ll come back
Til then I
Can’t keep checking my phone (no)
Ruben:
"Cant Keep Checking My Phone is about missing somebody and that point where you refuse to accept online “connectivity” as a substitute for being with someone IRL. When someone you love turns into text and ideas delivered through a device, at some point they’re competing with real things like the aurora borealis, which is another thing that only really makes sense in the flesh. I also read somewhere that the universe might be holographic, and in that case maybe the distance between us is just an illusion. So do you fall in love with the idea of someone? Or the chemicals they give off in person? Either way, I’ve got to get off my phone."

i like how every member of the band looks like he belongs to a different genre of music
Yea
I still cant believe that voice comes out of that doods mouth
Cause they do
Spot on man
Describe theirs genres!
Lmao that split caught me so off guard
Bro what split?
This actually has more energy than the original. Love it.
i saw them in concert and every song sounded better live
So much better than the album version.
why do I feel like a proud mother watching this
haha I feel the same
Why do I, a man, also feel like a proud mother?
That split was badass
hell yeah i seen them live a few days ago and he did the splits i was hoping he would
@@lanewest3418 athenaeum theatre?? hell yeah he did
@@claudiot315 yessssssssss i love you yo also got to meet ruban there bus was right outside lol no one noticed
The keyboardist just looks like the nicest guy ever
Anyone know who he is?
@@Beckasabi Quincy McCrary
He's high 🤣
Ok
@@BeckasabiQuincy McCrary. He also plays keys with Jack White
The way the drummer consistently hits that woodblock....eargasmic
(IMO) Riley Geare is one of the best drummers out there... period!
THAT ENDING WAS UNEXPECTED
Mind blowing stuff... Other worldly...
Bar has been set ridiculously high
Put this in a capsule and send it to space
+freakyclown1990 Best fucking comment ever!!!
+freakyclown1990
Top man
Freakyclown1990 I'm so happy you feel the alien magic!!
Yes total sickness.
jesus christ. his live acts are evolving
+Jose Gomez saw them in Stockholm 3 days ago. fantastic! the sound doesn't fit on an album!
For those unaware, Connan Mockasin is on the congas (sailor hat). He's the bomb! Check out his album 'caramel'
...creepy/lofi/GOLD!
No he's the one hosting the show
This comment made me listen to Connan Mockasin, i am forever grateful
@@sachin812 *ok well this comment convinced me to go search so thank YOU 😂
Saw this comment 5 years ago but only now I discovered his work with L.A. priest (Soft Hair) and really liked it. Bizarre haha
The other guy is the drummer from the Mint Chicks which was a band Ruben was in before he moved to the US!
Holy shiii his voice sounds better live than on the record!
Drums nearly knocked me over
Fuck man, every member of this band is banging...wish i could see these guys live
🎶 I can't stop listening to this soo ooongggg sooo ooonggg
Liking the fact that each member has their own unique look in style, yet musically they come together perfectly.
Love this song!
Holy mother of god, I have yet to see them live, but this was the most energized and punchy live video I've seen of them. What a great way to end your song...3:33 'ah fuck it here we GO'.
Tom Lute you should definitely see them live! Completely different than anything you’ll see on UA-cam. The jams/solos are on a new level. This past show I saw them at Ruban ran out into the crowd during a solo, took a shot with the FOH guys, then ran upstairs to the balcony lol. Definitely see them when you can!
Can't wait to see UMO in Bristol this summer.....awesome....
This mix is absolutely amazing. They put his voice in so clear and really make it shine!
Lol finally soooo many of the videos they have on UA-cam are so terrible compared to their actual live concerts. And even then I’ve seen them twice and the venue/sound guys completely changed the entire experience. If Ruban’s voice and guitar are dimmed it’s and infinitely worse experience.
this performance of this song is one of my favorite songs of all time
if you have the chance definitely see these guys live. rubens voice and guitar sound even more amazing out of studio. it was all around good vibes!
I've watched this video at least 300 times (listened) and never noticed he does a guitar throw, twist, split at the end!! Holy fuck! Is there nothing this guy can't do? The love grows...
Mint Chicks was awesome, UMO is even awesome-er. So happy this guy and his crew is getting recognized and people are loving his freaky music!!
Drums 😍 bass 😍 vocals 😍 everything 😍
what a fucking performance. the splits at the end--fuck yeah
One the best bands in history ngl
This band is the shit. So funky and so cool. Love UMO.
imo this sounds better than the original
I see and hear a lot of Prince in this masterful performance.
So true, the revolution with a genuine prince style split at the end.
They’re so f-ing good!!!
This performance was friggin epic. I remember when I saw it live on TV. I just hum this song to myself everyday now. :)
Man Viggo Mortenson is a pretty good drummer
XDDDDD Yeah he is
ahahhahahahahaha fuck me
ant no thanks
The drum line is awesome !!!!
So amazing. What a spectacle.
Saw them playing a small venue in Ireland and they brought this exact energy plus more
best version of his best song. it's about 1.25 faster than studio version
Rubens looks so exhausted after that perf
such talented musicians damn
This band has a great vibe!
Remembered this from Fifa game
best band of the last 10 years. IMHO
I like this Version much better than the original Version because this feels much more up beat and has no autotune.
he didn't use auto tune on the studio version of this song. Ruban said the only time he used it was on "Were not in love just high".
kiwi mic drop
WE NEED UMO ON CONAN AGAIN!
There's a lotta "music" going on here…not just playing second fiddle to the singer. I want MORE OF THAT
Live and studio his voices are so dope.
this guy is a guitar god
Please elaborate it
@@pipi333 Well, for starters, he comes up with incredibly complex and unique chord progressions. This song is a good example of that. "Multi Love" is an even better example.
@@clicheguevara5282 can you transcribe it for us, so we can analyse it together?
Simplemente genialidad de banda
I love the idea behind this song❤
Buster William whats the idea?
Can't believe they went on conan. So Cool
dont drop the Jagstang!!!!!
It hurt to watch... ):
mars volta
Adam S Taylor my reaction exactly 😂😂😂 he said he had to repair it multiple times in an interview 😨 Its scary to me cause that's my FAVOURITE instrument lol
All performance was beutifuld, but that idiot thing about smash the guitar... why?
@@Utilitarismopastroni i mean to be fair it's his gear and he can do what he wants with it right lol
it definitely hurt to watch tho
Riley Geare (drummer) does a really awesome job here with the polyrythm. Harder to do than it sounds and he pulls it off flawlessly. It's a shame he's no longer with the group. Kody is a good drummer but I heard a recent live recording of this song and he doesn't hit blocks or maintain the back-beat quite as well. Oh well, better than getting stale I suppose. Onward.
The jagstang! Such a majestic creature😮
The power of the Damian Lillard jersey
This is one of my all time favourite songs.
damn son, dat drum was sick
HOLY BALLS
I remember seeing them back when II came out, Bass Drum of Death was supposed to open but they couldn't get over the border 'cause their drummer didn't have a visa or something. Royal Canoe opened instead and maaan were they boring as fuck. But still they were amazing back as a 3 piece, and this shit is just astronomical, blowing my goddamn mind.
+xAngelsOfHellx 11/10
ruban really does look like a kiwi
I didn’t realize Viggo Mortensen was so good a drums!
The best I heard him singing live
this is so tight
Riley Geare.... One of the best and most underrated drummer in existence today.
Connan Mockasin on the congas! Awesome!
luv dat bass line!
This tunes incredibly FUNKY. Love it.
THIS SONG HAS GOT IT ALL
Oh god I simply must see them live
damn that Guy loves his layers **am I right!!
holy crap wasn't expecting that ending. haha! Such a legit band
This song goes fire live
Best music nowdays thanks i knew it will happen again . On a side not e that drummer is amazin

Man, i love this band!
This guys are fucking great I mean listen to that infectious nasty crazy groove from another galaxy so amazing

Passionate... ❤️
just fucking connan mockassin fumbling around on congas in the backdrop i wonder how he got in this gig
hahaha is that Connan Mockasin?
+WhenILearnToMilkIt I just searched for it on google. who the fuck is that guy? Everything i just thought was that he smokes weed everyday haha
+Javi garcia serrano
He actually only drinks caffeine. I swore he was a cliche stoner surfer from New Zealand, but he's totally sober (unless you count coffee/energy drink as a drug).
He drinks small amounts of white wine as well. You'd think he's always on mushrooms judging by his demeanor haha
No, Connan O'Brien
Dezrt I think he used to smoke weed but grew out of it
Saw them the other day. Beaut.
Wait, is that Connan Mockasin on the bongos? haha legend!
Thanks for the upload! Love the band.
wtf hahah Connan Mockasin hahahaha
Love it
Connan Mockasin on the congas always hits right.
Amazing!!!
FIFA Soundtrack!
9 years
the word "epic" can't describe what just happened here
That was brillant
Yay UMO are finally being recognised!
Just saw them a few weeks ago. UMO fucking rock.
