They looked so shocked at the end of this haha It's almost like this was the first time they'd played it through without a fault. Still an amazing cover that I'll continue to revisit for many years :) Thank you Kooks
STILL LISTENING 2023 This was the last song me and my husband Isaac listened to before he left me for someone else. Won't let the heartbreak ruin this song
Only found this in 2021, I love it and listen to it all the time! Whenever I’m happy or sad, it always makes me feel better or appreciate my circumstances that, for a lot of other people in the world, is, unfairly, never within their reach. Love each other and help each other wherever you can! 🤘🏻❤️ life is hard but it’s easier together! Xxx
The Lyrics in the song are good but the meaning of the Song itself is even better, basically its a run through of life from being a child to growing up learning lifes lessons and the Struggles we each have with our own Mentality as we face challenges in life pretty timeless 👌, not many song are like this, Great cover, Great band 😎
"A baby is born, crying out for attention 💙" this song is dedicated to all the mothers out there I think, all of these moms that give everything to their child. This song is so beautiful.
As many times as I have sang this song with random strangers at parties….. As well as this song aged over time even since the first time I heard it I listened to it again for the first time after I don’t know how many years recently…. All the times in college doing MGMT songs on “Audio Surf” (electric field is the best)….. Even after discovering “Like a version”during Covid….. (search Donald Glover like a version and thank me later if you don’t know that one) I STILL cannot believe I am just hearing this song! The kooks are amazing.
Recuerdo cuando escuché esta canción por primera ves con the kooks Tenía 13 o 14 años Hoy tengo 27 años y se escucha igual de fresca como la primera vez Hermosa canción
2022 and I’m still listening to this!! Thank you The Kooks!!!

Been coming back to this one for nearly a decade now
His voice on this song is absolutely gorgeous. Fantastic cover.
If you love The Kooks, and you love MGMT, how could you NOT love this!
His voice makes me nostalgic. Makes me think about memories I lost.
True there’s something like it digs out from past
This unlocked a memory
One FIFA 09 artist playing a FIFA 09 song feels great
im so glad someone else thought of this lmao

I STILL cannot believe I am just hearing this song! The kooks are amazing.
The intro + verse is F#m, D, A, E. I forget how the rest goes, but I do remember that.
lol i saw that too.
I believe it's G#/E not a standard Emaj
Recuerdo cuando escuché esta canción por primera ves con the kooks
Tenía 13 o 14 años
Hoy tengo 27 años y se escucha igual de fresca como la primera vez
Hermosa canción
me identifico totalmente
8.4 million views says it all….. over the course of 10 years, thousands and thousands of them are from me 😍!!
