PrettyLights - We Must Go On - HD Music Video (official)

[Parkerc33]

the man loves public transportation...

[briancavese]

great vid for the economic climate, taking it back to the oldschool

[mastersquidwardo]

It's people like Derek Smith that gives me hope and faith that music is not dead. He changed my life, for the good. That's a bold statement, but I will stand by it. Artistic creativity by this man is unparalleled.

[TH3Producer]

Simply the Shit

[KozisKey]

It relaxes and energises at the same time i could knock down a mountain.

[bamasteel92]

this is art

[Noahaddavis]

I can't believe how generous this guy is! He offers all his music for free on his website! Can you believe that?

[LWallaceW]

@Noahaddavis only because he CAN'T legally charge for it, because of all the samples he uses

[varg1231]

@LWallaceW Cause you can't buy any music with samples in it.

[LWallaceW]

@varg1231 yes u can, but he would have to pay royalties to everyone he samples

[QueIch]

@LWallaceW I noticed his albums are available to buy on iTunes (australian store at least), honestly curious to how/why he offers both?

[mastersquidwardo]

@QueIch The reason they're available for free in the USA is "to avoid copyright infringement policies". His style uses other people's work to incorporate into his, so if he receives payment for his music it's considered plagiarism. In any case, I have no idea why it's available for purchase in Australia

[JohnnyQuesadillas]

I no longer turn the lights off when I go to bed.

[NBASETUNES]

You forgot the lyrics - "Looking for a better day," otherwise: This is the best PL song ever, and dont corect me, i´ve heard them all (Country Roads has 890 on my itunes) !

[NBASETUNES]

This! Now This is the true Pretty Lights style!

[McCooldani001]

Gosh! beautiful tripping song...

[keliz1008]

my english professor is in this music video...@2:36-2:37ish!

[IamNotYourBroski]

Musicians have a very unique way of editing videos.

[biancamac]

This is simply one of the finest clips i have ever seen. The editing is utterly brilliant.

[SloanInTheZone]

One of the coolest, most emotion filled music videos I've ever seen to one of the greatest PL tracks I've ever heard....

[ihiro77x]

rlly tho, how can anyone dislike this? You must have no soul. 11 ppl are gingers.....

[turdass71]

shits dope yoo drop a new album

[fan2trial]

Probably one of the best video clip I've ever seen.

In one word : TRAVEL

[fabioo24]

Times will get bad, in the whole wide world will come on you. We must go on. Is that the lyrics??

[shagmiregaming]

@fabioo24 Times will get better, the whole wide world will conquer the youth. I'm not 100% sure but i think that's what it is

[fabioo24]

@shagmiregaming “Times will get bad, and the whole wide world, will come down on you…. You must go on.” I found this on low-life.ca. My ears arent as bad as I thought haha

[fabioo24]

@fabioo24 Lol the lyrics are in the description haha

[shagmiregaming]

@fabioo24 yeah now that i  know the lyrics i can hear it hahaha my hearing is completely gone

[vanat1980]

epic :)

[MrChunkerton2001]

better than skrillex

[JenicekPernicek3]

@MrChunkerton2001 Better than u. Why the fuck everybody have to dislike an artist to show the quality of another artist. Skrillex makes good music..

[crazyavery4444]

@JenicekPernicek3 "Skrillex makes good music"

You don't know Dubstep if you think Skrillex is good.

[JenicekPernicek3]

@crazyavery4444 i dont give a fuck if it is dubstep, or not, just sayin its good. And i think iam not alone, cause his 3 grammys are with me. btw check pretty lights website to get to know which gender of music is this (before talkin about dubstep).. peace

[crazyavery4444]

@JenicekPernicek3 I have all of his albums, and everybody chilling over on Pretty Lights Music Label.

Also, what I meant was, if you think Skillex is good, you haven't heard good dubstep.

[JenicekPernicek3]

@crazyavery4444 Funny as hell, cause i listen skrillex and think hes doin a good job, i havent heard good dubstep? Where is the connection between what i listen and what is good and whats not? If i said that i listen songs of ur mother, u would say i havent heard good hip hop, for example? THINK!

[crazyavery4444]

@MrChunkerton2001 Probably because Skrillex is garbage.

[SynesthesiaeFilms]

Simply put,nothing but beautiful things here...

[MrKcburke]

It's so real, it's so real!

[kalanidmb17]

16th track off TUYPT?

[sebbyvancity]

This video reminds me of a movie "Life in a Day". I suggest checking it out. If you watchthat movie when rolling theres a high chance of crying tears of mixed emotions

[mcgraves021]

I was about to ask if Detroit was in some of the shots and then I read the description. I thought I recognized a couple houses/streets

[jjimenez313]

Straight chill!! F'in love this!! Good jam!

[Mccartmj13]

Quite possibly one of his most powerful works. It's become part of my morning mantras!

[TheModCentral]

BRO WHERES THE DROP?

[Konstantiin3]

@TheModCentral lmaoooooo gtfo

[Jahmeza]

Simply beautiful, guys. Love it with all my heart :)

[trevtay91]

whenever i hear a Pretty Lights song i get the feeling that this world is so much bigger than we can imagine. Together the people, places, and all the little things all find a way to coexist and create the "Pretty Lights" that surround us all.

[smartrocker9000]

Seems almost nostalgic. This is awesome. I fucking love pretty lights.

[verious123]

Gangster :)

[Negative4Productions]

Absolutely amazing.

[blywhy2012]

this is one of the best pieces of film and music that I have ever seen in my life.

[Mantugo]

Well done, guys.  Keep up the good work.

[gustavitogarcia]

esta canción me lleva a otro lugar, no se donde pero a uno muy bonito

[musicpraise]

is it possible for this guy to make a bad song?

[sk808sk8r]

@ 2:36 is the most boss old man ever

[MrKcburke]

DVS crushin' the game! as more and more artists go for cheap wobbles, he produces a down-tempo banger, thank you!

[BeatsareEdible]

what sample does he use? i just cant think of the songs name

[adigangsta]

@BeatsareEdible You can't blame me - Johnson, Hawkins, Tatum & Durr

[patricb911]

@BeatsareEdible maybe Electric Feel by MGMT?

[TheMusicDeli]

can't get enough of this gorgeous piece of art. thank you, PL.

[garretnd21]

great song. head to soundcloud and search "garret meyer" and check the song "the lack thereof" i think you guys will enjoy if u like this :D

[ThatGuyFromTV]

This is the Pretty Lights I've been missing for so long. We have enough of the rave-style lights to last us a while, let's get us some lights that we can just chill to.

[ElevatorTShirts]

yall ima needy bitch. please go listen to my music. :( no one's ever rly heard it and i'm rly proud of it, and it has a lot of artistic integrity, and pls subscribe. no1 has....

[frostynugs]

Coming from someone who has been recording and editing concerts and music videos for the past 15 years, you guys did a fantastic job on this!

[drutheguru]

This song brought me back to PL, good work DVS.

[Roman007M]

Simply Beautiful! 

[metho2nfalible]

love it...we must go on

[PauLWaFFleZ]

Don't usually bother with Music videos, but if its PL, its more than worth a sit through. There are only a few other artists that even come close to PL's level. I REALLY want more artists like this to come out in the future, my music library is pretty thin :\

[woos188]

this helps with paper so much, the flow of the beat goes with the flow of the essay, and my papers always turn out great.

[azwon1981]

Incedible work, both the track and the clip, proppppsssssss

[tropeforhope]

this is so Amazing,

just a nice mix of art, music and inspiration!

[bambrendo]

This video is truly a magnificent piece of art. I'm new to the genre, but seeing this song and video compiled together really blew my mind. I started watching and couldn't move until the song was over.

[ankachoo]

10 dislikes need go fuck yourself pills :)

[themuffin311]

I can't even explain how fuckin' good this is.

[Rossthecraft]

Derek, I fucking love you man, don't ever stop what you're doing. I look forward to a future of years upon years of your music.

[slaytanic34]

This just shows what Pretty Lights is capable of. He can go from the heaviness of I Know the Truth, and then go back to the old style. I love everything PL has done and he never disappoints.

[Sean32Anoka]

PRETTY LIGHTS ELECTRIC FOREST 2012

[stonerjoe4208]

Mind blowing!

[freeskier254]

keep the old style i liked it better

[Trent31901]

Thumbs up for the 2012 Bulls!!!

[biachech14]

this is sweet

[skinsfan2124]

Heard this before. Not Impressed. Wiz used almost exactly the same sample in his song.

[carsonrowland]

@skinsfan2124 too bad wiz has nothin to do with making his samples. sure he's one of the best rappers around right now but to say that pretty lights, who took samples from several different songs to create this, imitated wiz is a little ridic

[K2Shit]

@skinsfan2124 wiz is talentless.. its not like he made whatever beat ur talking about anyway... he just sits in front of the mic and talks about weed, pussy, and being the best rapper ever over and over

[Dubarco]

Nothing like some pretty lights.. anywhere anytime PL never fails. see you at ultra derek!!

[lavendr5tar]

@ 4:46 KITTEH!!!!!!

[myopinions]

kinda reminds me of MGMT's electric feel bassline :D

great song :)

[WriteOnTheMoneyProd]

Fantastic editing..Great feel. A lot of the cinematography was visually striking. As a documentary enthusiast I salute you

[AreYouJoking]

I really forgot how much I miss the old PL style.

[krookeddrivers]

some of this was filmed at bum island in D town the mission rescue spot off broadway this track has more feeling than any dubstep shit out there right now epic soulful hip hop yummy

[MrKrhill]

@slammajamma312 ? Maybe i just think differently than most people but why would you fill your body with all that chemical bullshit and think its "cool" most people that do stuff like that wouldnt want many people knowing and they surely wouldn't be trying to be impressing anyone by the fact that they do it Im not trying to start any stupid argument over the internet I just think you might be more impressed by the fact that he has such a talent for making his music a art rather than he does drugs

[slammajamma312]

@MrKrhill thats what im saying...i dont think its "cool' he does drugs. I find it hard to believe he can be who he is and do what he does at the same time

[Burtonsnow14]

this is the same sample Wiz uses in When You Find

[fizzizat]

ew babe...shock me like electric feel....save it babe.....sumthin sumthin

[Henners929292]

this would sound sick with the vox track from electric feel by MGMT

[Tinag444]

this video made me feel so small in such a great big world. i love it.

[mangointhehole]

@Tinag444 I dont love it, it scares me. If only my friend molly would visit more than once a month. But that would be unwise, and I'm a smart person.

[DeePollyJane]

Incredible. My mind is blown by the song and the music video.

Woo I see Vancouver!

[ObiWonCannolli]

I've never heard a PL track that I didn't like. They're all killer in different ways. His deep stuff is amazing and his more partyish stuff is dope too. It all ebbs and flows naturally. Just like life, you're not always in deep thought and you're not always going balls to the wall in manic mode. Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down and I feel that Derek's music reflects that dichotomy in a rich and soulful manner. So wherever Mr. Smith decides to take us, I'll be along for the ride.

[kRed0628]

@ObiWonCannolli Well said, friend. Couldn't agree more. PL for life <3

[thomasb123]

@ObiWonCannolli Well fucking said, sir

[markrbdr]

@ObiWonCannolli Well said my friend,save a seat for me.

[jakemo4242]

Well actually the original sample is "You Can't Blame Me" by Johnson, Hawkins, Tatum & Durr, then Curren$y sampled it "On My Way", now PL. I love the evolution of music!

[jakemo4242]

this sample blew my mind. Curren$y - On My Way

1)My 2nd fav Spitta song

2)PL sampled it

3)JAM

#jetlife

[tannerlee9000]

"Disliked"!?!???

Lay off the Hatorade you Suckas!



[berlingirlie]

wow what a song, what a video

[brandonbanks32278]

THIS TAKES ME BACK TO HIS FIRST ALBUM....:TAKING UP YOUR PRECIOUS TIME.

THAT WILL FOREVER BE THE MY TOP 5 ALBUMS OF ALL TIME!...THIS IS TRULY PRETTY LIGHTS.

[CimplyComplex]

The last 3 minutes of this video were so beautiful and worked so well with this amazing song.

[TheGooStick]

Calm like a sunrise brining in the new day Thanks for the free awesomeness D.V.S.~~!!!!!!!!!!

[TheGooStick]

@TheGooStick Thanks to Krystal too!!!!!

[dzec88]

This song reminds me of Mars Ill's 'Too strong to change'. Anyway, gotta love PL; wonderful music!

[gcappel1]

Is that a Sade sample? awesome editing btw. very chill track

[diykidsfl]

AMAZING!



[hugboat808]

PRETTY LIGHTS PERFECTION!

[DubbFaced]

the song and video are incredible, it's awesome how you got all the footage from traveling the world for your music too.

[BaneSwim5]

love his new style, love his old style. derek is a fucking visionary.

[mindkeyper]

I'm melting in my seat right now. Thanks Pretty Lights. :)

[Ce5official]

Glad to see he's still got the old style, fuck yes.

[Treeline303]

listen to this chill song everyday since he released it

[Meowmeowcathi]

Best release in years.

[grwagz]

Funky beats that set your head to bobbin' like some dashboard idol. I close my eyes and take a trip on the smooth groove highway...

[seriour]

Gotta love this old style, so inspiring, pure lights

[kkaio50]

This here a shock of creativity, between the video and audio (music), maybe the music scene needs more of it.!

[Subtleinductor]

I hope Derek stays on this tip this is the music that's in his soul, this is true art. Bravo Derek for doing what you truly believe in!

[EmilBeee]

This video is amazing

[recknick]

excellent - soon to be blogged at w w w recklesstimes .co .uk

[WcPPlayGU]

This is so well done, when PL makes music like this it shows how talented he is. I like the heavy bass stuff also, but this is so much better it's mind-numbing. Thanks, PL.

[gilley455]

I get some serious flashbacks from this video haha..

[viprex]

So chill. Gotta love PL's chill tracks.

[MOKULO]

Sašaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ;)

[HondaChad]

ahhhh yeea vancouver.. how many cities was this filmed in?!

[whoaevan]

yesss detroit !

[mentalcomplex36]

the man.

[DNBGuRu]

Love this.

[okeychokey]

simply awesome

[tharbs123]

Pretty lights is a true musician and creates real music touches your soul. We must go on sings of the plights of humanity. The radio is BS, this is true music.

[jzalk3metsfan13]

This song is awesome, and the video captures the feel of life going by. I have always enjoyed PL, and I agree with the comments that this song goes back to his chiller roots. I like dubstep but I would rather listen to "Taking Up Your Precious Time" and smoke all day long.

[TheOfficialDarksound]

This is amazing. PL is my sole inspiration for music. I Know The Truth and Hot Like Sauce are epic too, but these downtempo old PL style really has the emotion the others don't. its truly amazing.

[btdavison]

@TheOfficialDarksoun  your music must suck if you have one inspiration

[TheOfficialDarksound]

@btdavison well i have more than one... he was just what really brought me into the music scene. and seriously, why be hatin on a song like this? just relax and enjoy it. your going against everything this song stands for.

[btdavison]

@TheOfficialDarksound no one hated on pretty lights. Im hating on you. and it would seem I am just in doing so.

[AppleOfDischord]

@btdavison don't go hatin' dude, chill out.

[SpicyPV]

Taking up your precious time was one of the best albums created.

This is really along those lines.

Makes me feel like Im in New York City/Brooklyn like most of their songs feel on the album.

Unreal

[delacroix515]

Give this comment a thumbs up if you want to hear more PL like this and less like "I Know the Truth." I Know the Truth is a great jam, but this song, and his earlier work, has some serious soul to it!

I could put this on repeat all day and soak in the good vibes!

[glant2005]

@delacroix515 I like his newer music and the older stuff, I like "I know the Truth", but I also like heavier music. Either way I think PL hits a lot of different people on diff levels so his music doesn't always appeal to all his audience.

[delacroix515]

@glant2005 Totally agree, like I said, the heavier stuff is great some times, but there's something about Derek's more down tempo stuff that I can't put my finger on that makes them amazing.

[1618gooddayzzzz]

ahhh hell yes!!!! derek does it again - such a great style. this jam reminds me of one of his (and michal menert's) unreleased tracks, "Summer Love". check it out on soundcloud

[imnotaverage]

o damn, youtube broke and is only tracking my view count on this video. ;O

[CAxALLDAY]

statik selektah used this sample in 08. this use is way crazier but i knew i heard it somewhre else.

[TheGooStick]

Pretty Lights is HOW i can Keep Going!!!

[PilzBeatz]

This is why I fucking love this guy. This sounds like some of his earlier tracks, which I love as much as the newer ones.

This video is so beautiful. It shows so many different people, from all over the world. But it also shows nature, something not really seen in the electronic music genre.

But Derek pulled this off so well. Every thing about the video flowed seamlessly with the music.

Damn.

Everyone should see/listen to this, whether they're a fan of his music or not.

[1WayFarer1]

Goal 1 - Check.

Goal 2 - Check.

Goal 3 - Check.

Great job Pretty Lights. It was so easy to be entranced by this song. You can be dragged into the video's beauty and it's impressive visual techniques wether you like it or not. The feeling of this experience brings peace but also triggering deep thoughtful emotions about the world and the people who inhabit it. Thank you for keeping true to your sound despite the current dub phase. The world would be boring if everyone was the same.

[ererr11]

@1WayFarer1 You sound like my LA teacher XD

[1WayFarer1]

@ererr11 ahaha thank you.

[that1jewfrokid]

this is dope shit

[trevtay91]

5 people cant go on.

[20skylar]

@trevtay91 Who cares about them. Better yet, 2212 people can go on!!

[imnotaverage]

this defines a "music" video

[TzarAlinJon]

I'm impressed that PL is staying true to his music and not following the dub step trend with this track. Lovin it.

[roman212]

i was about to comment on how some of those run down buildings looked like they were from detroit. then looked at the credits.... i was right. (lived in detroit my whole life)

[Eluxa13]

A great Visual and sound experience! Really well done, those shots, the colors, the music, those faces and places! as the french say supercool Playn it again and again!

[jzabernathy]

THIS is REAL and inspiring and emotion, brought a tear to my eye. Derek, Krystle... thank u.

[LIL1RAE]

Nice song....love the video

[samantha8904]

Pretty lights must go on like this! weoo

[NBASETUNES]

Finally goin back to the real PL style :) Been a PL Fan since I first heared "Taking Up Your Precious Time" in 2007, their dubstep is great and stuff, but never ever heared anything as good as this!

This is Magic Analog Work!
