It's hard to get off our tiny glowing screens when watsky is making good songs!
this song is powerful as fuck, he played it at warped and was pointing out how many people were just sittin taking pictures rather than enjoying the moment, his show was such an experience
as I watch this on my phone
same
amen brother
Wouldn't anything you watch this be on be a glowing screen?
+dresdencypher yes but a phone is a tiny glowing screen
Amanda Allee Yeah but in the grand scheme of things isn't every screen tiny
Cardboard Castles has to be Watsky's strongest album yet...
So many amazing pieces.
it is and DEATH NOTE
sir i have some good news for you
Came here to listen to all three parts in order. Still as great as I remembered it.
yep 😂
Went to see him in Cardiff live, he finished the show with all 3 in order, Amazing fucking show. (did half of Ugly faces Crowd Surfing)
Yup still good
Yup
Still as great...
"We be greedy"
*steals the fUCKIN MOON*
LOL 😅😅😅
You can only steal if something is owned by someone
Titus Tortelloni I mean, I think America owns it, cause we got there first
legokingdoms123456 oh give me a break :D
legokingdoms123456 getting somewhere first doesnt mean you own it if so the natives would have america
I love that Watsky takes us on these amazing trips through our own fears, concerns, loves, failures, triumphs and every little human foible with great emphasis for the chance for us all to be better. No judgement, embracing compassion, and being able to put that to music, spoken word, Life. Thank you Watsky for letting us into your world all these years. Continue creating.
"We took the peace sign, reduced it to duces." Amazing.
dueces*
beth v deuces*
I will thank my boyfriend for making me look like a dick lol.
I'm such an old bastard I had to look that up:
www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=duces
lol when I read your comment that part of the song was playing, perfect.
watsky has an amazing way of conveying ideas in his lyrics that wouldnt be conveyed by the words in them on their own. I dont know how to describe it. "when the sun burns out, we'll light the world with tiny glowing screens" has a literal meaning, which is pretty deep on its own. But somehow, when watsky sings it, it just has so much more meaning.
I was on the bus and I looked around and saw this guys phone and I saw the name of this song and I was like “ hmm let’s see what other people are interested in” and I look this up and it’s actually pretty good. Kinda deep about how much we use our phones, so not bad at all. I like the old style music you’re bringin back
I hope you’ve kept up with Watsky in the past 3 years…
All his music is great
@@Jarvalicious nice pfp!
Holy fucking shit just learned about this dude like a week ago and ill i got to say is this dude deserves to be more famous than like 99% of rappers nowadays
welcome friend
i only know watsky by tiny glowing screens 1-3 and sloppy seconds and i already think watsky should be 21 pilot famous. (though in my opinion watsky's better)
The Twenty One PIlots is very different than this guy. I think they both equally as good at what genre and lyric type they do. This is more controversial and insightful on society. Twenty One Pilots is more personal and focuses on mental illness and dark themes. They are both really good and I agree that Watsky should be more popular.
+Anna Victor i meant how 21 pilots gets played on the radio (and although they 21 is good) i think watsky should get played on the radio.
Oh yeah makes sense. Yeah this would be really neat to hear on the radio
shoutout to the dude on the synth that was sick
for real
Sick ~ Sick ~ Sick :-)
One of the sickest synth solos of all time.
And when the sun burns out
We’ll light the world with tiny glowing screens
Tiny glowing screens, glowing screens
And when the sun burns out
We’ll light the world with tiny glowing screens
Tiny glowing screens
[Verse 1:]
I’ve seen a person go to shows and raise a lighter app
But if you’re at my concert please don’t ever try that crap
Let’s set fire to the heavens
Turn the motherfucking speakers to 11, this is Spinal Tap
The future might defeat me, the internet can eat me
It really tastes like chicken when I bite the hand that feeds me
And I say me me, me me, play my CD, CD
Yes indeedy deedy
We be greedy and it’s tragic that we yawn
We got every gadget but don’t care there’s magic in our palm
‘Cause it’s been getting so hot, I can feel the slow rot
But let’s not die before we get to fuck a robot
Because we all need something to live for, something to live for, something to live for
We all need something to live for, something to live for
[Hook]
[Verse 2:]
There was a time before the pot really got strong
Before the hippies got jobs talking long, long
Before the people talked in English out in Hong Kong
Before the holy Dalai Lama had a dot com
Before God’s dad got it on with God’s mom
Before he made us pretty things on which to drop bombs
Before the war crimes
The rich and poor times
I’m talking in the land before The Land Before Time
But then the planet lost its baby fat and got crazy
And we’ve been acting like some fraidycats a lot lately
Something’ll kill us like cigarettes or the commies maybe
Or maybe AIDS or scabies, rabies or zombie babies
Even the KGB, pray we be free from ADD, wade in and bathe in Hades
No army or Navy’s saving me
And I can’t tell our little victories from epic fails
It’s either heaven or hell and I can’t make heads or tails
[Bridge:]
Are we useless?
No excuses
We took the peace sign, reduced it to deuces
That girl just stole the entire moon
+Trent Alley Somebody call Gru, she took his job.
+FallingIntoBlack 😂
One song and I'm a lifelong fan! LOVE THIS
1: That girl took a fucking moon with rope
2: That girl took 3 fucking moons
3: ???????
4: PROFIT!
For me, Watsky is the kind of artist were I find(maybe most of his works), no to my taste, but then there are some few golden bits spread around, and this one is even more of a diamond!
Same here. He's got quite a few good songs but quite a few I don't care for, too. It's the same way with DeStorm. I don't like most of his music, but then there was Invincible, which was great.
SirGamerPerson Tottaly agree on Destorm too, and also "See Me Standing" is really great, and King Kong.
***** Yeah
Re-watching some of these videos on my 'Favorites' list puts me in the mood I was in the first time I listened to it and I was going through a really rough time when listening to this song and now this video, although well done, puts me in a depressed mood.
She took 3 moons out of the sky don't know what planet she's living on
+JakeTheDog351 One of the ones with really small, really close moons.
+JakeTheDog351 Inverted Tatooine.
+kitkat mat Tatooine only has 2 Suns.
FallingIntoBlack I'm pretty sure they had at least three, didn't they?
Or am I thinking of some other planet?
Austin Vanderveer It had only 2 suns, but it did have 3 moons.
I just heard a few seconds of this song at the end of an MPR segment that was talking about kids that were born with touch screens and how documentaries that were made for virtual reality platform had more of an impact on the viewer than any other medium...
oh no here comes lots of "yur wachin dis in your phone/laptop lulz"
"here comes the [comments]" --- dude, this video was posted 3 years ago. you're a little behind.
2016-2013 is not 3 you hippie fuck.
Darío Gutierrez
Actually it is. That's literally first grade math, fool.
Haha I'm late but this was so good "2016-2013 isn't 3" 😂
hahaha i didn't remember this meme XD
Well said, I came back from a sage francis gig here in the uk and all my friends asked me 'have you got any videos' to which i replied 'no, i lived it, if you wanna live it you should have been there'. People are forgetting what it is to be alive
- Makes a song about how often people use electronics
- Puts it on UA-cam
hense the "bite the hand that feeds me" line in the song....
@SoonToBeAwesome....I do not think you get the point...So what if he put it on you tube that is the point that he makes... and my point is that books are no longer used and won't you all be sad when the power goes out and the only source of knowledge is the primary texts...that we scanned....because we no longer appreciate the written word...hell even newspapers report that they are losing business to electronics... we used to think and press each other to think through literature...it was thought that this would be better sent to the world at large electronically but alas, now we play apps that make us stop thinking..its sad...what started out as a way to better educate the world and connect them in ways that were previously unavailable....is making it stupider and flame wars become the Internets primary existence..verses intelligent means of filtering knowledge to everyone....
Dude it was a joke
SoonToBeAwesome Yeah but everyone was thinking that so someone needs to post the reason why this all makes sence.
Phoebe Pearl If everyone knows it then no one should have to say it :)
I was at your show in Brussels, Belgium yesterday and it was without a doubt the best show I've ever been to! Thanks a lot for taking some time to sign CD's and taking pictures with your fans :) You're a source of inspiration to many, including me!
i couldnt help but put my peace sign up

How have I never heard this before? This guy is unbelievable.
The best song Watsky has ever written #TinyGlowingScreens
Agree!
Smiley01987 gotta say, the wordplay of part two, in my opinion, outshines even this, I'd suggest checking it out :)
I love this song but i disagree watch part 2 it blows this song out of the water... It's amazing
i prefer cardboard castles
And part 2 is actually pretty amazing
"We all need something to live for", couldn't agree more.
"Lets not die until we get to fuck a robot"
- Thinks how short life is -
- Thinks how easy it is for people to die -
- Thinks about how no matter what we do we'll be forgotten in a few hundred years -
- Gets depressed -
- Writes a comment -
You think a lot, don't you? lol
I'll never forget you...
Wait...nevermind...already forgot ._.
you will still be forgot
no matter what
no, look at cleopatra, bitch is still remembered after a few thousand years
How have i not heard you or these songs,,im like 10 years behind ...better late than never
currently my favorite rapper
Mine too. Have you heard of Epic Rap Battles of History? Watsky's in a few of them. There pretty awesome.
As a huge Megadeth and Watsky fan, I got so pumped the first time I heard this song.
2023 people here? 💥💥💥
2024 🎉

Just saw Watsky in the middle of no where at an in-n-out and got his pic!!!!! So stoked
I don't know why but the end made me laugh. It was just him video taping the people who were video taping him.
Careful, shows your age when you say 'taping'! ;)
Kids these days don't know what a 'video tape' is. :P
Scott J. Fox I'm only 16, I just...I just live in a bad neighborhood.
When's the last time you've seen a video tape around? Soon kids won't know what CDs are, let alone a cassette tape. :P
(ergo, "Taping the people video taping him" rather than "recording").
Runic, you obviously don't get it, so just stop, he wasn't trying to insult you were most likely born in 02, so it doesn't involve you.
it was actually kind of creepy
Honestly, I could listen to this playlist every day. These 8 songs are amazing.
"turn the motherfucking speakers to eleven this is spinal tap"
fucking love it
rock n' roll *mafukin
Man, Watsky is amazing. His words hit like a brick. I hop he makes it, the world deserves him.
La meute, yeah !!!!!
La meute arrive les V
So true people videoing the concert instead of enjoying the moment and the memories.
Anyone else still listening?
Meee
Endless love for this!
When can we get some live versions of his songs? I love this song but the live version is SO much better
Watsky , this is the best album I've ever heard because honestly all the songs are exeptional most albums have one or two songs which aren't great but this is solid gold ure a lyrical genuis
Finally with this song you went back to your roots! When will this be on an album?
Uhhh... It's on Cardboard Castles. The album dropped like 6 months ago.
Sixteenandsecksy Realized that just after I posted this :) I was a bit drunk last night when I posted that lol
This was always my favorite song on the album
Amen - big fan of this dude.
Lovely when someone puts your exact thoughts into a song.
La meuute on est là
Thank you so much for this. I don't know what this means to you, but to me it means that even when the world falls apart, some good people will keep trying to make things better.
I support Watsky
This is my favriout song of the album
Aiekillu
Ca fait plaisir, la meute est là ;)
tkt la meute est toujours la ;) a 2min42 je croit toujours que aieki a reçu un don aieLEL ^^
axel C awoooouuuuuu la meute arrive
;)
axel C awouuuuuuu moi aussi je suis la #Aieki
Usually I'm into strictly 90's hip hop.. But this kid's the unlikliest problem in the game! This track, though wayyy far away from my usual style was a BANGER, I'm years late. But here, have a new fan.
Kind of funny how without glowing screens I'd never have known about George. I'm watching this on a tablet ffs.
watsky, wow you were brilliant in concert at london best show ever
Like how he makes a spinal tap reference
I've just been to his show in Birmingham, England and he sung this. It was absolutely amazing!
Are We Useless ? No Excuses. La Meute, On est la !
CaptainCook (BAXFUR) Toujours là !
Damn this song gives me chills
Is that the girl from "You Go, Robo"? :D
Whatever "You Go, Robo" is supposed to be, this is Veronika Mikulasek a.k.a. Veronika Bonell
The production value on these music videos is top notch
Fun Fact: This video takes place in a future where humans have settled on a planet with 3 moons.
I'm loving the concept behind this.
Shit im watchin this on a tiny glowing screen
Me too. Ahh..!! this time and age-- magic (religion/"superstition") and science, proving each other inside and out; REALIZED... but..We Are All too busy with our desensitized Selves to see as a Whole.. beyond the fractions to LOVE((evolution)) beneath it all...
Love ur ability to make sense in confusion. I relate to ur style.
Music reminds me of Oasis - Wonderwall.
I like that the family is eating the same dinner that they show in part two. Nice touch Watsky.
The genius Lin Manuel Miranda sent me here.
ICU3000 wait how
Love it. The only flaw is that the crowd of folks at George's concert have their phones held the proper orientation for video recording. In reality all of the dummies would have their phones held vertically so the end products would be narrow videos with big black bars on the sides.
I really hate the whole 'technology is ruining the world' superiority. I like 'reading books'. And 'going outside and doing stuff'. But I also like going online and watching videos of cats, and talking to friends that I've made in Texas and Paris and Holten. I like taking video at concerts to share with friends that can't be there. There are indisputable flaws and issues with the current 'obsessive' use of technology. But reading a book instead of playing brain games on an ipad does not make you superior, nor vice versa. And if you do feel this sense of superiority, I think you should ask yourself why you feel like you're better, because it's at the very least a good question to ask yourself.
I share this sentiment. I keep seeing headlines claiming that tech is making people dumber, but I contend that it is all relative to the individual's utilization of such mediums, along with countless other variables.
Someone entirely missed the concept pushed forward by this wonderfully shaped art. Its not get of your phone, its look up from the screen. Even if its five minutes look at reality through the way your own mind perceives it. Experience your own thought not that of a completely biast news station or person. But, its art so to others i guess i could mean anything
i agree with the guy above me, and the original poster, you completely missed the point of the song, but you do make a great point on your own.
This song isn’t about how people who don’t use phones are superior. It’s about how people use phones and other devices *_too much._*
hi there. i agree with you. there are benefits to technology. but there is an argument for people using to excess and shutting people out of their lives. that opening scene with the little girl is why i left my partner of five years, and ultimately his daughter. he never ever put his phone down. oh wait, no. he played computer games up to 16 hours a day and watched the bruins. his daughter complained that he never spent time with her. so. its all well and good to say that technology is great for connecting. but it can damage relationships and its a real addiction for some people. so please. just consider that. there has to be a balance. you seem to have found it.
but ultimately. its killing us. and turning us into pieces of shit. just scroll through some youtube comments and tell me that the internet is a great expressive medium for intellectual interaction and justify it all. if you're gonna talk shit about a video like this, please. do us all a favor and make a stand for 13 year old instagram celebrities who will be traumatized. for the rest of their lives. and please defend the people who ruin lives online over a photo or a tweet.
i'm all ears. and its fine if you think i'm being unreasonable. but the internet is not a good place. it brings things out of people. good for you that you are a reasonable person. but.... most people aren't. and the internet is an anonymous platform for hate. ugh i feel gross now.
I was convinced on new year's that we were 20 years off on our Y2K predictions. I played this song to bring the year in, just in case the world cut off.
that knocksteady hat tho.
George, I want you to know that the only reason I'm writing poetry again was because you inspired me. You are a voice of our generation.
LA MEUTE wesh :p
AieSwag
aaaaoooow ^^
Louuuurd ! :)
On est laaaa #LaMeut
matthieu terrier on est laaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!!
Best song. Listened all day long!!! Keep making great music and being awesome.
Raise up your peace sign guys, don't be useless.
"Turn the motherfucking speakers to eleven, this is spinal tap"
THANK YOU WATSKY FOR KNOWING SPINAL TAP I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE WITH SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
I'm pretty sure everybody knows spinal tap
Uhm.. no.
***** its when a song is so good a good feeling goes down yor spine :)
LA MEUTE VOUS ETES OU?!
***** ON EST LA!!!
***** English? Do u speak?
We speak French
Phillip Lambo Non. Nous parlons Francais.
ok, alright
I'm so happy he finally made a video for this amazing song!
Dude On the Synth ... \m/
Watsky when you was in Manchester(England), I raised my lighter app! Love you man.
mostly why I don't have a phone I use a tablet so I could only go online at home so I have alll day to hang outside with out tech
same :D
Never heard of Watsky before, saw a friend post a video on Discord. I rarely like a song first time I hear it, but this music is amazing! Every song I have played by Watsky tonight (many of them) has been amazing! I LOVE IT! The music and lyrics are GREAT! Keep on keeping on!
that is discrimination against big glowing screens.
In 2022 this is still such a truth barring song. Miss you George. ❤
Only about a week til the concert. I got a lighter app just 4 u bud
Dear Watsky,
I really love this song and you're entire album. The meaning in this song is very important, that we shouldn't completely rely on technology and not to take it for granted
[Sent from my iPhone]
Guess if the screen I watched this on was tiny and glowing.
Still bumping this in 2021!
The sad thing is that most of the concerts I've been to look like this--everyone recording it on their phones and not actually watching or really listening to the artist. Smh...
Logan FlanaganThat's frickin' depressing. Why do they bother going in the first place?
Metlhed420 so they can say "guess who I saw perform live?" and then prove it by showing the video on their phone. I agree, it's ridiculous!
Logan Flanagan Have you ever been or heard to/of Warped Tour? It is so refreshing to see people who genuinely care for and love music at the shows, just enjoying it and having the time of their lives. (Watsky was there 2014!!)
Kylie ArmenthaThat's how it's done. Sounds like I'd like those Warped Tour fans. Less time spent on the tiny glowing screen and more time watching the scene unfold before their eyes.
YOU SHOULD GO!! In a way, it's like Coachella, but without all the STD's, mainstream tumblr girl's with flower crowns, and actual, GOOD, music. Minus all the drugs as well. It really is loads of fun.
i made a whole bunch of poems inspired by pt 2. thank you george watsky!
The zombie babies are coming !
Never heard any of his stuff before seeing him at VidCon, last night. Awesome. I'm going through his channel and catching up, now.
la meute
+HUGO BLUE Yay XCOM 2 !!
oklm
yeah
+HUGO BLUE On est làààààààààà !
toujours là pour faire chier le monde cette meute ........ je dec tellement de hype d'être à vos cotés
Beautiful song, beautiful video, beautiful point being made! Ty Watsky 😘
just saw him in Charlotte! he played all 3 parts ahhh it was amazing
Am I the only one who thinks the drummer fucked up the whole breakdown? Timing is way off.
It was supposed to be kinda dissonant, to provide an off-feeling effect, yo. It alludes to the idea that something's wrong.
Yeah I really doubt that the drummer would be off. This is a recording, so the person recording and mixing this track would've picked up on that and changed it. if the drummer is off, its on purpose.
Yeah don't get me wrong I love the song either way, but the drummer in me is like 'keep rhythm, keep rhythm, keep rhythm' lol
Do you mean 2:05? I personally loved the way that drum fill added to the song.
Love the song, love the album.
Et vous les V... Oups pardons la meute maintenant è_é
Skarvaander La meute Des V è_é
C'est quoi le délire des V à la base ? Désolé je suis un novice de la meute et je me renseigne sur les traditions haha
