#AltJ #SomethingGood #Vevo
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
Hahahahahaha good device
Never would’ve guessed Alexa is a hipster.
"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 love how I’m not the only one reminiscing about LiS in 2020.
LiS for Life. 🦋
It is 🦋
💙💙💙💙
Это уж точно!)
liS one love

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
Awesome song to start your day ( and an episode )
Ikr
im here bc of it too ;)
Everyday is an episode
I got the reference bro :)
Mustn't cry...
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
Well, LiS has given pretty much including bright eyes, Daughters, Alt j. no words I appreciate for all those.
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
"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 :)”
Alt-J is Strange
Alt-J is strange. Alt-J is life. Life is Strange.
You spelled 'Life' wrong
Did you press Alt-J when watching this?
then so did you
jajaja
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
+María Muñoz Ruiz thanks!
Isn't it SEND ROSE instead of AND ROARS?
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
...what is matador?
@@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
Kudos to the director... That video is amazing....
One of the coolest music videos I've seen. What a great album. If anyone has the opportunity to see them live, take it!
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!
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?
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.
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)
Nailed it.
Tell the whole story please
signthepetition thank you! I understood it now!(:
@@timachan7419 watch nardwuar's interview with alt-j
MjklSimpson okay thanks so much I listen to this song everyday
This is the intro song for Life is Strange Episode 2, right? I can imagine Max waking up to this.
Łukasz Majger Episode 2 was leaked before released. Thats how ^^
***** Yeah
yeah it is xD
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.
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
1:35 this part is unbelievably good
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
Once again Life is Strange brought me here. No shame in that though, i love when videogames introduce me to awesome music.
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 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
Shazam, you are my hero
Je te le confirme :)
Life is Strange has the best music out of all games I've played 😋
Aldin Nevacinovic you mean is better think thats what you meant
Aldin Nevacinovic I used to call The Walking Dead (Season 1 ofc) the game with the best story but honestly now I think that Life is Strange could surpass it.
Aldin Nevacinovic I used to call The Walking Dead (Season 1 ofc) the game with the best story but honestly now I think that Life is Strange could surpass it.
Aldin Nevacinovic True! I also cried at the end of season 1 but not at the end of season 2 because of the cliffhanger ^^
Menegoroth1 I havent cried from any of them but i nearly cried at the end of season 3 because of what happened to chloe
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 have been listening to this song non-stop for about a week now. I've probably listened to it for over 5 hours total
i want this to be played in my funeral
Jonatan M. I prefer spanish sahara, u know why
New Horizons Delta
i refuse to believe chloe is in that casket... i refuse😔✋.
My sister told me to play something good.
TheLightBulb hehehe
That's sweet
But why my brutta dis is good song
Did you assume your sisters gender
Ahhhh got me 😂😂 jokes are totes my thing 😂
Just started replaying life is strange and this banger comes on! So ducking good
this song awakens something so deeply nostalgic in me, it's crazy
That matador is gorgeous 😍
The Max Caufeild way to start the day.
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.
I’m too late for this, but I’ll be 10 year for this music. This is gonna be so nostalgic.
If only he had the power to rewind.
Ibrahim Parker life is strange
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.
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!!
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.
Hope you're fine nowadays 👏🏻
4 times
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 is life
is strange too
Δlτ-j and death
vanishingpoint80 alt j is death?
vanishingpoint80 yes or no?
What does it mean to you?
“It’s when you discover that life is without substance, that it’s nothing at all, illusion, that the obsession with death settles in.”
life is pretty strange, isn't it
I could never never get tired of this song ! It puts me in another world
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
This is my alarm
same
impossible to Wake up with this music,its so relaxing
start the day the Caufield way.
Life is Strange was amazing, and the soundtrack made it even better.
I was hoping to find Life is Strange lovers here :D
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 :)
Alt-J's music is pure good vibes✌🙏
Agradeço todo dia a Life is strange por ter me apresentado essa banda maravilhosa ❤
Oi
This song is strange..... like life....
i see where you're going...
I understood the reference
i think it actually needs time, I thought the same at first, than it grew on me more and more :)
+bakoziel No, he meant that as a reference to the video game Life is Strange where this song is featured.
Breezeblocks is better it should be in life is strange
This song always relaxes my hormones.
Thank you for being a part of my life alt-J.
This is only starting, Max 🦋
Just played Life Is Strange and couldn't bring myself to leave the dorm room because of this song. and here I am.
life is strange is my game of the year
Same
Me 3!
Annis Kekse Nah, best game of all time.
RetriCube "Kirasi" gaming not quite. For me The Last of Us is the best game of all time
Annis Kekse For me it's Life is Strange, and then Ni No Kuni
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 😊
The directing in this, the lighting, the story, bloody incredible
i already loved this song with all my heart, then it played on life is strange. now i love it even more. ♥
am i the only one person who came here because of the incredible work this band is doing?
+Bellatriixx12 yo im with ya
+Bellatriixx12 yes. You are the only one. You are alone at the top of the cool tree. You are the loneliest number. Avada Kedavra yourself.
+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?
@@flyingsidekickp every other freckle is amazing dude !!
You really captured the feeling of being hurt after loosing a great relationship...
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. 🤗
i hope you enjoyed it and still like it two years later :)
@@kimchipossum lol
Uh 2 years late comment but hope u loved it!
What game is it?c
@@harryeverett2152 The game is called Life is Strange. This guy is talking about the first one.
R.I.P Victor Barrio. And R.I.P the many innocent beasts he slayed.
this song looks like a prophecy. life is strange.
I was eating those beans
Are you fucking insane
Those were my beans! Those were my FUCKING BEANS!!
+Rambo Snoop looks like somebody doesn't know how life is!
Reiner Braun And somebody doesn't remember the scene
+Rambo Snoop
Burnnnn!
8 years ago!? and am seeing it nowwww
The best song i have ever heard in my life.
Life is Strange is the best game ever in my opinion.
No man, but the best soundtrack surely
I agree. It's amazing
I think that The walking Dead season 1 and Heavy Rain are the most brilliant stories in gaming
Paulo Zonenschein I think the walking dead is a little bit unoriginal but heavy rain for sure
Origi Nope my 2 favourites games are life is strange and the last of us :D
I will listen to this this song until i get "out of time" :)
Life sure is strange huh
one of their underrated songs
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'll miss you Kate Marsh.
:(
Ferryie well you can save her. Doh.
Ferryie reload the last save and save her ;)
easy.
jamie1997js
it's not if you pay attention to her and her belongings from the start of the episode.
Piece of art of the highest level
Life is strange 😢 I missed those days
Max has great taste in music!
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.
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!!
Till this day, I've never seen any Nigerian that listens to alt j
Turning 45 at the moment and this is the song in me. Love Alt J from the first time. Miss you 33.🌻
I knew about alt J before I knew about life is strange, but I knew about life is strange before I knew about this song... So... What camp am I in?
LOL, this was supposed to be a satirical and edgy comment, blurring the boundary of dated fandom and new-found fandom....guess I failed......shit.
+Dalton K 'preciate it..
+twomo1 Alt J is how I found Life is Strange so I'm pretty happy either way. :D
Amazing music for an amazing game.
+twomo1 You were playing Life Is Strange in the part before when there is this song, then you knew about this song, so you knew Life Is Strange before this song and you knew this song before Life Is Strange played it
+Joaco Remis Thank you, all I was trying to say. lol.
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!
Life is strane is the best game for choices
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
I came here to dicuss bullfighting...
And all I'm reading about is Life is Strange.
Adam Dawson Yeah, bullfighting sucks doesn't it?
+Adam Dawson It's better now that humans willingly do it, instead of using bull dogs.
I'm not crying.....I'm not (sniff sniff)
I relate,
your Rick, can't you go to the Life is Strange dimension and just save everyone?
That profile avatar, you made it or found on the internet? If you found do you rembember where you find it?
Rick Sanchez ok
Rick Sanchez oooh... don't cry...
at the flow of keys at 42-50 seconds I can feel the flowers blooming in the garden
Meaning:
This song is about overcoming a heroin addiction. The music video is stunning. The bulls horn piercing the matador's body is to symbolize a needle piercing a person's arm. The faces that he makes and the visions that he see's are also to represent the feeling of being on the drug. The bull itself represents heroin. The bull's eyes change colour at the end, the same way the liquid in a needle would change colour after injection. The swinging of the sword is to symbolise the moment that he wants to overcome his addiction. The bull is seen as aggressive and dangerous but the matador still shows the bull affection at the end of the video despite having a hole through his body to symbolise addiction. We can then see the bull attack another person at the end of the video to symbolize the drug taking over somebody else while the matador looks on to symbolise that the addiction has ended for him.
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
Now that's deep, like holy shit, appreciating the song writter even more. I completely had so many different meanings attached to this song i never thought of this one. And when u explained it, it makes sensse perfectly. And now i love this song even more, if that's even possible =)
@@anungunrama9259 i don't think this song is about a drug addiction but rather about losing someone, and how they overcome that feeling but a part of it still lingers
Thank you!
i think the matador is the heroin.. and we are the "helpless" bull. albeit extremely strong (deep down)
80% Life Is Strange Gamers
20% Suscribers of Alt-j... lmao
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.
One of the best and most unique songs of the last decade or so!
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.
Lol. Everyone here found this song by Life is Strange. I found Life is Strange by this song. Thanks guys :D
You're welcome!
+Chloe Price I never sacrificed you, I sacrificed the town for you.
+Hi ImPaul yes thank fuck the town Chloe for life

The sequel needs to be called Life is 2 Strange.
Tbh i think there should be no season 2
there is supposed to be a seaquel
I really really hope that's true
+Gamer340 dunno. Ask the writers.
I think it's just called Life Is Strange 2
+Spyder1246 nice game of words
These visuals are incredible...
This truly "something good"
This album is a classic at the point, really
I lay in bed and listened to the whole song... then I got up and played the song again
+James Collins How come you say that everywhere? Passionate advartisement i guess
+Fuckification it's his own band I think, trying to get that revenue
Same Q u Q
Lion Turtle same I did that today
I did that with the whole album
I met someone really special listening to this
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
