      I agree. I think it's about how the people are seen more as their names rather than individuals with talent. In the video, they kept on using the people even though they were dead so that people would come and afterwards they were celebrating the success even though they were dead.

    My little sister has Autism and she communicates through music a lot of the time. She’s always playing and listening to music. Recently, she’s discovered this song and plays it constantly. Typically, she’d only listen to select parts of songs, but with this one, she’ll play the whole thing through and will make up a new dance to it every time she plays it. I’m not sure what makes this song different for her, but I don’t mind listening to it constantly at all. Thanks Foster the People for helping my family have such magical experiences with your song! 💃😊

    Some years ago (probably at 2012) I had listened this song at radio. Was at a high hour of the night and there wasn't announcer or something to tell the name of the song but the choir stucked in my head.
    I tried to search in UA-cam "Sometimes I wanna disappear" but I didn't got anything. Maybe the song wasn't so popular at that moment or the search engine wasn't like today, I don't know.
    Today I remembered it and I tried again. It's amazing when you finally find a song that was in your head for many time and the part you recognize is better than you remember.
    Now I got the chance to hear the whole song again, and man, it's great.

    Don't means to spoil the boards; but I'm 53 now but first started listening to these kids when pumped up kicks came out... since then I don't feel 63 anymore... figure that one out!

    One of my favorite songs of all time. The whole song is good, but after 2:30 it goes nuts. Marks vocals are out of this world.
