This song and album was the soundtrack to a holiday I went on this year in April. I can't wait to go back next April (2012) because this song and this album will be the soundtrack once again.
this song actually inspired me to write some music of my own in the same psychedelic style, would appreciate if you guys checked it out, its on my channel.
Its kinda like a trippy reference to lord of the flies! just saying these guys are the best, u can basically imagine all of this song like happening in your head xD
@avadh95 It really depends. I also smoked some weed in my 8 yrs of experience that made me start kinda trippin and there was once when I had true hallucinations
@0TheDeliman0 The worst president is Bush. Obama is trying to fix our economy after what Bush let go on. Do you see the gas prices at 5.60 anymore? And because of Obama's healthcare plan, there is an 60 year old women in Utah suffering from cancer who doesn't have to sell her house to get treatment. So Don't you dare relay what you're parents say about Obama when you have no idea about politics kid. So ignorant. He is one of the best presidents of all time.
@ChiTownHippie26 Blah, blah, blah. "It's all Bush's fault" isn't a liable excuse halfway through Obama's term. Obama is not trying to fix our economy, he's trying to control it and is ruining it in the process. Remember that 1,000,000,000,000 (That's right, 1 TRILLION) dollar "Stimulus plan" Obama ran though? High gas prices weren't Bush's fault, or was Hurricane Katrina his fault too? I have to admit, Bush wasn't a great president, but he's a damn better one than Obama.
@ShyGuy1919 We were in most of the debt before Obama took office. More then 3/4th's of it anyways. I will quote him: "We are attempting to fix the economy but it will not happen over night." What happened after Hurricane Katrina was his fault. Not fixing it fas enough. Bush let the gas companies go 6.00s and you cannot deny they went down after Obama took office. They only thing I agree with you is MGMT is awesome.
@ChiTownHippie26 Because Republicans in office have some direct effect on gas prices? Riiiiight... Gas prices were high partially due to Hurricane Katrina, which you probably also blame on Republicans.
You should be worrying about how high taxes are going to be after ObamaCare is forced through, not gas prices.
@tjames229 It was fucking amazing, i got to meet all band members after, cause they were signing, except Ben,i dont know why, they're all so fucking chill
oh my goooodness! i love you people, i just read so many of these comments and im thinking, wow, they understand how i feel. ahh
this is seriously an amazing song. i love mgmt with alll of my heart.
i definitley agree with you IanVanDam the 2nd half of Oracular Spectacular is so underrated by the public, but its the best, the feeling it gives you and everything it says is just so unexplainable, but it makes me feel so good! i just love it, they were gifted with a sound that makes you melt.
I had this strange visual of this song in a dream.
It started as a man walking down the street and he turns
to look in the window of a building and inside of the reflection
is a forest with people acting like savages. He goes to touch the window
and he sees that he can warp himself into the forest, so he joins them
and he is looking around at all the detail of the forest, and the people are showing him around and stuff, and he becomes their leader and everything falls apart. It was amazing.
As a whole I think the only album in the same category as Oracular Spectacular is Dark Side of The Moon. This is the best conclusion to any album since Eclipse. They definitely are the best thing going right now, Couldn't have gotten any luckier than being in my teens when this came out. I'll have a long time to enjoy it. WE LOVE YOU MGMT!
"and remember what if felt like; to be alone; sitting in the sunlight, ooo all alone" used to spend many an hour listening to this song blitzed as hell lol
congratulations isn't a bad album! it is a little bit more mainstream but it's still good. just cause it's not the exact same as oracular spectacular but which would you have? the same or still the same... but different... if that makes sense
Best song on the album. My personal favorite. I got into MGMT because of their fantastic singles, but this song is just something else. It's incredible.
When i hea this song, it makes me nearly cry, its so beautfiul, i truely beleive that the second half of this album (4th dim transtion, Pieces of what, Of birds moons monster, the handshake, and fut reflections is mch better than the 1st half, simply becuase because its seems more whole to itslef, no eps, not pop hits, like time to pretend is good, so is eletric feel, you dont get the tingle down your spine like u do when u listen to the second half
@IanVanDam dats exactly how i felt dude first time i heard of mgmt i've had this huge chill down my spine i felt so wierd but the music is beautiful i love thier albums
i like thier pop hits but i think the the album congratulations shows thier true colors and i like that too
@IanVanDam well the whole album works a whole in my opinion i mean the first few songs hype you up and as it progresses it brings the mood down. the album itself is pure art.
dude i agree with you that the second half is better. i.e. less poppy. however the lyrics in time to pretend and the all around greatness of the youth is undeniable.
And remember what it felt like,
to be alone,
Sitting in the sunlight.
