It really did. It was my first exposure to the LGBT community really. And I felt for the characters so much. Ever since I played it, I have been fond of the LGBT community. This eventually led me to realise that I am bisexual.
Alt-J music helped me cope with my PTSD and trauma. Helped me through one of the hardest times of my life. I'm extremely grateful to you all. Your music is medicine
素晴らしい歌詞とメロディ。Alt-jを5年くらい前に知ってそれ以来ずっとファンです、毎日聴いてます。 Great lyrics and melodies, discovered Alt-j 5 years ago and have been a fan ever since, I listen to it everyday. Message from Japan
I think their music is ageing fantastically. As time goes on i appreciate it more. Each song sounds like it should have its own feature length art house film.
Watching this video was like being jolted, flung into the air, falling, being impaled, and rampaged and tossed around like a ragdoll. Good cinematography like this gives me falling sensations.
.. because this place we created is slowly breaking the will of everything that it encounters.. happiness is simple.. remember this and don't complicate things.
When I was in my 20s I was working in the weed farms in Humboldt county, California. It was a crazy time in my life, full of madness and hope and lots of hard work. This was my favorite song and gave me peace in those moments I was able to gather some rest.
Being confined at home made me look through all of my music and when my eyes saw the title I swear all the feels came back!!! You know a song is good when after all those years you still feel like it's the first time!!
Breezeblocks was the first song by them that I listened to. And now every few months I watch/play something that has a song by them and it's awesome and made them one of my favorite bands.
This song speaks to me through losing a loved one. The 'something good' is something that has initially attracted our attention. When that thing impales us, the world turns upside down and becomes chaotic and unfathomable. When we reach for our swords and separate ourselves from the thing that impaled us, we become free from our attachments and find attraction the 'something good' again. But, this time, we are left with a hole the shape of what impaled us before.
@@franzroth2830 I like that interpretation and it could be the most widely accepted general interpretation. It can also be the pain of knowing that your loved one is with someone else(only for the time being, without a break up). And "something good" distracts you from thinking about it. "Something good" can be any form of sedation, softer or as hard as drugs depending on how depressed it makes one feel. This alternative interpretation makes it more relatable for me.
Was looking for someone to explain the video in the comments… thank you! Have always loved this song but only recently saw the video. I think you gave a perfect analysis❤️ my condolences for your loss
I go to my school in the bus with this song always while I see on the window, it's the best song to start the day with good humor. PD: I love you Max Caulfield xD
favourite band and such. The moment I recognized this song in episode 2 was a huge break down. alt-j your music has a special sense I can't describe.. but thanks for being with me in these and other wonderful moments.
This song just might be the best song I have ever listened to by Alt-J. I don't mean to go all sentimental, but the lyrics really speak to me and what I'm going through at the moment. ΔLT-J ΔPPRECIATION!!
I really think this is amazing! I love how they used framing to give the video a surreal and chaotic effect. I also find it interesting that it is sort of from the matador's perspective as we see his more or less hallucinations as he dies from blood loss. Just an overall awesome video that deserves all the views and likes it gets.
As someone who fought some demons of his own, I'd say that this song is so accurate, it almost hurts. And at the same time, it's so beautiful, it heals too. Amazing. Album title is not overconfident, this is awesome, this is art! More, more, more!
This nurse has COVID for the 4th time. This one's pretty bad. Sleeping ~23 hours a day. Woke up and listened to this♥️. ALWAYS makes me happy. Always make me feel better. ♥️♥️ Love you guys.
I mean i just love this band, listen at that beautiful authentic genuine tone. none of this auto tune crap, just three super talented guys. such stunning harmonies in this, beautiful
LYRICS!!! Something good, oh something good, oh something good, Oh something good tonight will make me forget about you for now Get high, hit the floor before you go Matador, estocada, you're my blood sport But something good, oh something good, oh something good Oh something good tonight will make me forget about you for now Forty-eight thousand seats bleats And roars for my memories of you Now that I'm fully clean The matador is no more and is dragged from view Get high, hit the floor before you go Matador, estocada, you're my blood sport Forty-eight thousand seats bleats And roars for my memories of you Now that I am clean The matador is no more and is dragged from view But something good, oh something good, oh something good Oh something good tonight will make me forget about you for now Alt-J - Something Good
Thought this was a cover off something good by Utah saints so happy is wasn’t some of the best lyrical writing I’ve ever heard have come from this band
@@thats_tiggas8558 is the dude on the video, lmao. Basically is the profession name... I can't explain by myself because im dumb so just go to Wikipedia
Thank you Dontnod Entertainment for placed that amazing song to your game. Personally, I've heard that a long time ago likewise with Crosses, but I'm still glad, that both of them has been picked in Life is Strange.
Summer is rolling in, windows down, this song playing driving through the country surrounded by long pasture and crops with the afternoon gentle breeze. The nostalgia of home.
I was so bored so I searched "something good" on UA-cam and I got here and writing this comment and indirectly got connected with you because you are still reading my comment with good concentration , thanks 😊
I played Life is Strange and didn't even know that it had this song in it until I read the comments lol. Im just focused on how amazing this music video is.....like seriously. Its absolutely amazing. The style of how its shot, and ahhhhh just wonderful. And intriguing.
now my second favorite alt-j song. funny how playing LiS made me like this song so much more. its kinda like reliving the emotions of LiS a little bit each time I listen to it.
Iroquois Pliskin Same, the scene was just too beautiful. The morning light, the peaceful feeling, the camera movement and this song... You just HAVE to play this game slowly and enjoy every second, sit down here and there and enjoy those peaceful moments...it's just amazing.
+Bellatriixx12 For real though, I think EVERYONE came here for the artist's incredible work. If people didn't love the music... newsflash... they wouldn't be here. Personally, I knew about breezeblocks and Taro before I played Life is Strange, and then found this song through that and it got me even more into them. Now my favorite song by Alt-J is Every Other Freckle. These guys are fucking awesome and are one of the few "new" and progressive bands right now. And this video has 12 million views. Pretty sure you're not the only one who's listening to them because of their amazing work. Don't be such a goddam hipster. You probably hate Twenty One Pilot's new album, too.
Just because Life Is Strange brought a lot of the viewers here doesn't mean that they didn't come for the band's great music, does it really matter what brought you here?
César Benìtez Well I know it's not 'for' a game, but it was in it's soundtrack and was picked for it, so that's why I say 'for a game'. Your point is accurate, though :)
I still thrive for the moment i'll get to listen to it whilst driving on a road with trees both ways on a road trip. Plus this song being in my favourite game is just too good
Estocada = Merciful thrust in final part of bullfight designed to kill the beast. He's trying to forget something that hurt him. Something else (the something good) allowed him to temporarily forget (for now)
So, I was a bit annoyed at everyone being here for this amazing song only having comments about some random game. But I took your advice and eventually gave the game a shot. I'm only at the beginning of episode 2, but I do really like it so far! Funny how we can find out about and share passions through the most unexpected ways. 🤗
It's 7:11 pm and you're on a road trip in the back of the car. You look up from your phone and realize you don't know what town we're passing through. Then this song comes on in your playlist and you look out the window, watching the buildings pass as you wonder, just how good tonight will be.
"Life is Strange" has changed my life for good. I will never be the same person.
Ah yes, a game on my endless list of games I need to play, it's in my steam library I just need to take the time...
@@FeudalRoach Drop everything and play it lmao
It really did. It was my first exposure to the LGBT community really. And I felt for the characters so much.
Ever since I played it, I have been fond of the LGBT community. This eventually led me to realise that I am bisexual.
Me too! I can't even begin to explain how much life is strange changed me as a person
Bruno Pereira I’m not the only on then 😂
I asked Alexa to play something good, and she played this. It did not disappoint.
Who gonna tell him
Fuck Alexa, get back in tune with the keyboard 🙏
That's a very cool way to first hear this song/band
Never would’ve guessed Alexa is a hipster.
Kkkkk

Это уж точно!)

hello my friends
Damn Life is Strange thank you for 'showing' me this song.
When i hear "Something good" in episode 2 I was so excited B| !
I feel the same
John Wildermuth me too..
John Wildermuth me too :'D
same here
Well, LiS has given pretty much including bright eyes, Daughters, Alt j. no words I appreciate for all those.
It's one of those songs that make you think about past, but not specific moment, just about past itself.
Like us, but in another life...
This makes me think about a movie scene where someone sits in a train with earphones in and looking out of the window, caught in their own thoughts.
i think of the past, present, and future at the same time somehow
fuck yeah
It does it makes me remember when I first got away from my abusive ex. Nothing specific but feeling free in a way
Alt-J music helped me cope with my PTSD and trauma. Helped me through one of the hardest times of my life. I'm extremely grateful to you all. Your music is medicine
100% true for me too! Major trauma was helped healed with alt j
oh that was you I guess
That's something good.
it helped me deal with truamu when i was 13 and now im 23 im sure itll help me again
Something good for you to be able to do it again 💞
The build-up to 2:37 and then the subtle bass note to major scale is the best moment of the song.
This comment helped me appreciate this song in a new light!
I love the bass in this song
9 years later. But exactly! And Gus comes in with the lower pitch harmony to make it full
素晴らしい歌詞とメロディ。Alt-jを5年くらい前に知ってそれ以来ずっとファンです、毎日聴いてます。
Great lyrics and melodies, discovered Alt-j 5 years ago and have been a fan ever since, I listen to it everyday.
Message from Japan
The instrumentation on this is breath taking. I love when all aspects of the music are of the same caliber.
its really lovely
Yeah altj is pretty highbrow stuff man... I like to describe it as "if 190 iq was a musical genre"
what if they're the same but they're all a shit caliber? huh?
Kudos to the director... That video is amazing....
"Hello, zombie face." has become my new everyday morning greeting to myself.
“i am sooo not a rebel. i always like my bed to be neat and tidy... thanks mom :)”
I think their music is ageing fantastically. As time goes on i appreciate it more.
Each song sounds like it should have its own feature length art house film.
same, I rediscovered their music recently and I was shocked, they are really very very good
One of the coolest music videos I've seen. What a great album. If anyone has the opportunity to see them live, take it!
Watching this video was like being jolted, flung into the air, falling, being impaled, and rampaged and tossed around like a ragdoll.
Good cinematography like this gives me falling sensations.
I'm a 17 year old normal boy, and this song made me cry for no reason. It's just undescribable!
flo eckl Normal?
Define normal.
flo eckl bohoo
.. because this place we created is slowly breaking the will of everything that it encounters.. happiness is simple.. remember this and don't complicate things.
Holy you’re 26 now. I’m 18. I hope you’ve played life is strange by now!
You're 26 now... I hope you have a good life
When I was in my 20s I was working in the weed farms in Humboldt county, California. It was a crazy time in my life, full of madness and hope and lots of hard work. This was my favorite song and gave me peace in those moments I was able to gather some rest.
I could never never get tired of this song ! It puts me in another world
Just started replaying life is strange and this banger comes on! So ducking good
Being confined at home made me look through all of my music and when my eyes saw the title I swear all the feels came back!!! You know a song is good when after all those years you still feel like it's the first time!!
Yesss I remeber listening to this 7 years ago and here I am again. Life flies by huh
The directing in this, the lighting, the story, bloody incredible
Breezeblocks was the first song by them that I listened to. And now every few months I watch/play something that has a song by them and it's awesome and made them one of my favorite bands.
This song speaks to me through losing a loved one. The 'something good' is something that has initially attracted our attention. When that thing impales us, the world turns upside down and becomes chaotic and unfathomable. When we reach for our swords and separate ourselves from the thing that impaled us, we become free from our attachments and find attraction the 'something good' again. But, this time, we are left with a hole the shape of what impaled us before.
I mean, aren't the lyrics pretty clearly about taking drugs to distract yourself from the pain of being broken up with?
@@franzroth2830 I like that interpretation and it could be the most widely accepted general interpretation.

I have been listening to this song non-stop for about a week now. I've probably listened to it for over 5 hours total
Alt-J's music is pure good vibes✌🙏
If you hurt animals, you loose your heart. This is the message the video gave me, beautiful...
favourite band and such. The moment I recognized this song in episode 2 was a huge break down. alt-j your music has a special sense I can't describe.. but thanks for being with me in these and other wonderful moments.
Who is this handsome man..? My goodness, he's handsome.
he oozes Spain-ness
Yeah who is he :o
NVM i found him lol
His name is frankie aydugan you can google it XD
RIP handsome spaniard. Life is strange didn't bring me here, but this handsome spaniard did.
So... That means im a luckily spanish guy that comes to this song through Alt+J music and not for a game? :D
Arxymer24 HD i don't quite get what you said.
+fenkinfe - Haha, u don't need to get it. Just enjoy Alt+J!!
Thank you for being a part of my life alt-J.

Fun fact "Alt-J" is a shortcut for rewind
That fit pretty well life is strange
Gauthier Chazal I wondered if it was a shortcut!
On a Mac it's a shortcut for ∆
Another fun fact: before Alt-J this band was named Daljit Dhaliwal, which is named after a television presenter
This definitely is something good
it dont work fer me
Piece of art of the highest level
i already loved this song with all my heart, then it played on life is strange. now i love it even more. ♥
I’m too late for this, but I’ll be 10 year for this music. This is gonna be so nostalgic.
RIP Lux Cobra ❤️ the blessing was getting to have you in our lives
Just discovered Alt-J through Hunger of the Pine a couple days ago. This art is absolutely something i've been yearning for. True Art.
As someone who fought some demons of his own, I'd say that this song is so accurate, it almost hurts. And at the same time, it's so beautiful, it heals too. Amazing.
Album title is not overconfident, this is awesome, this is art!
More, more, more!
This album is a classic at the point, really
at the flow of keys at 42-50 seconds I can feel the flowers blooming in the garden
This nurse has COVID for the 4th time. This one's pretty bad. Sleeping ~23 hours a day. Woke up and listened to this♥️. ALWAYS makes me happy. Always make me feel better. ♥️♥️ Love you guys.

I mean i just love this band, listen at that beautiful authentic genuine tone. none of this auto tune crap, just three super talented guys. such stunning harmonies in this, beautiful
That matador is gorgeous 😍
Listening to this is taking me back to the good old days of Life Is strange sigh I miss it
Does anyone play this on repeat ALL THE TIME like me?? I dream it.
Yup. I think it's meant to be played on repeat.
Just played Life Is Strange and couldn't bring myself to leave the dorm room because of this song. and here I am.
The best song i have ever heard in my life.
One of the best and most unique songs of the last decade or so!
AMAZING SONG......AMAZIN CLIP......Very moving TOUCHES THE SOUL IMAGES AND SO MANY ARE SAYING about feelings ... THANK YOU THAT could I see it!!
Once again Life is Strange brought me here. No shame in that though, i love when videogames introduce me to awesome music.
Cool! Awesome, loved your stuff ! Music is the best invention of mankind isn't it? I'm so thankful to be a musician!
Turning 45 at the moment and this is the song in me. Love Alt J from the first time. Miss you 33.🌻
These visuals are incredible...
LYRICS!!!
Something good, oh something good, oh something good,
Oh something good tonight will make me forget about you for now
Get high, hit the floor before you go
Matador, estocada, you're my blood sport
But something good, oh something good, oh something good
Oh something good tonight will make me forget about you for now
Forty-eight thousand seats bleats
And roars for my memories of you
Now that I'm fully clean
The matador is no more and is dragged from view
Get high, hit the floor before you go
Matador, estocada, you're my blood sport
Forty-eight thousand seats bleats
And roars for my memories of you
Now that I am clean
The matador is no more and is dragged from view
But something good, oh something good, oh something good
Oh something good tonight will make me forget about you for now
Alt-J - Something Good

this song is life
is strange too
Δlτ-j and death

vanishingpoint80 yes or no?
What does it mean to you?
What is life is strange? Here because of listening to good tunes back in the day. How is this 8 years old? Time flies man
It's an amazing story based video game, you can surely see by the amount of comments mentioning it lol, and this song was included in the game
I will listen to this this song until i get "out of time" :)
Life sure is strange huh
Shazam, you are my hero
Je te le confirme :)
If only he had the power to rewind.

Alt j is the key bind to rewind videos
Wouldn't work if he was alreadt gored. Max's powers make her retain her current state, as she couldn't rewind after Jeffershit drugged her.
Alt j... one of those bands that restores tour faith in newer music. Lucky to have found them :)

Agradeço todo dia a Life is strange por ter me apresentado essa banda maravilhosa ❤
Oi
The Max Caufeild way to start the day.
I've watched this video before...woke up today and really wanted to listen to it again.
I don't know why, but this time it really got me...
I can never stop listening to this song.
now my second favorite alt-j song. funny how playing LiS made me like this song so much more. its kinda like reliving the emotions of LiS a little bit each time I listen to it.
I literally just laid there in bed at the start of the episode because I loved the game so much. Everything about it is amazing.
Iroquois Pliskin Same, the scene was just too beautiful. The morning light, the peaceful feeling, the camera movement and this song... You just HAVE to play this game slowly and enjoy every second, sit down here and there and enjoy those peaceful moments...it's just amazing.
Haven't listened to it for a while and UH NOSTALGIA. It's all my childhood in one song, one artist
Max has great taste in music!
1:35 this part is unbelievably good
one of their underrated songs
You really captured the feeling of being hurt after loosing a great relationship...

How can the music for a game be so well picked and so sad at the same time :/
That's because this isn't music 'for a game'. This song was released years before the game, so it has just been selected but not made for the game. =)
César Benìtez Well I know it's not 'for' a game, but it was in it's soundtrack and was picked for it, so that's why I say 'for a game'. Your point is accurate, though :)

I came to know this song when I played Life Is Strange but honestly, I never knew the official music video is this good. So beautiful.
My mate is like "what shall I put on?" and I'm like "Something good", and he's like "Like what?", and I'm like "No, I mean the song "Something Good"".
Literally my favorite song by alt j
I can’t believe so many people didn’t know of this before Life is Strange!! I’m so glad everyone got a chance to hear & love the beautiful music
waiting for a new Album from this outstanding Band!
Well here we are.. how did you like it :)
