Honestly this is one of my favorite MGMT songs but it has a personal connection, even though its great. Still love when I ask people about MGMT and they are like oh yeah Kids is AWESOME! And I ask them if they have heard this song and no one ever has.
@8thstreetdropsoulja Passion Pit, LCD Soundsystem, Flaming Lips, Yeah Yeah Yeahs on 2009...just check on iTunes....I recommend Never Change by LCD Soundsystem and Zero by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
It seems that people either hate this song or love it. Personaly I love two voices singing at the same time, it's so chill and makes me feel melow. So I've got to say MGMT are the best and I can NOT wait for their new album coming out in spring!
Maybe on day ill like it, not today though. I like every remaining song, just hope they not deliver a weak new album. Dudes from MGMT if you read this, please do not grow up.
everywhere i look for the lyrics it says "rapes the hand" but i have a feeling he's saying "raised the hand" and after listening to it several times i'm almost sure they're saying "raised". i also have my reasoning why that would make more or less sense. "rapes' makes sense as well, but im pretty sure he's saying "raised"
i always thought this song was about the first time you fall in love. and how it leaves a mark on you. the love that you felt for the person will always "remain". the place he wants to go isn't really an actual place. he wants to go back to the past. he goes onto say how friends are there to distract you from the pain. and if you dont have true friends, simple beauties like the sun can always help. hold the hand that rapes the hand is simply saying you have to forgive the person who you loved.
gotta say, i usually hate that annoying voice mod that chris brown always uses, but, as usual, MGMT surprised me and that voice mod actually makes the song!
We shouldn't like them too much, fame is the artist worst enemy lol. Making songs, playing gigs, traveling, enough is enough, nirvana isn't much more.
They are one of my favorite bands.. I am in to all types of music but MGMT grows on you and sucks you in... They are awesome.. Their story is awesome too...Plus they actually write their songs....
i love this song, i feel like its about people inlove and after a break up or after theyve been seperated, and he talks about the past meaning he wants to go in the past were he was with her, because the lyrics also say "theres a girl out there looking for it to" meaning both these people want to live in the past with eachother, another thing, it says"if you hold the hand that rapes the hand" meaning if you hold your true loves hand youll be attached to them forever in a way,
I havn't heard this song in awhile, and right now listening to it makes me sad, Im almost crying. I suppose this is one of those songs that can hold emotions that all come out next time you hear it.
"No one has to hear, the sound of people laughing at their fear, and the ocean and sun are always there, to make you happy if you're feeling scared of the darkness."
yeah, i said this was the only song i don't like from them, and i didn't get raped, no thumbs down, nothing. Youtube haters free zone in this video :). People in here should do a mega hippie party. I would attend
I love MGMT but the one bad thing about there music is their lyrics have no relevence or consistance. They're just a bunch of brilliant one liners thrown in together.
Maybe because you listen to it & it sounds great but you dont feel it with some kind of fantasy of your own . With that you can hear a lot of different revelations (:
This song is utterly and completely the best song in the entire universe. I dont know what I would do without this song playing every second of every day : ) Or for that matter all of their songs.
I think this is probably my favourite MGMT song. Does anyone know what's being sung in the background, for the latter half of the song? I can catch some of it, but not all.
cette musique, c'est mon hymne, j'en fait mon rêve, mes journées, j'en ai besoin, comme un un drogué de sa poudre blanche. Seulement MGMT, c'est le même état que procure la drogue sans les effets secondaires. Alors, mes amis, de France, d'Angleterre, d'Allemagne, d'Espagne, d'Italie, des U.s.A. et tant d'autres, laissez vous bercer par la mélodie et les mots si justement choisis.
HIPSTER MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

usually i'm apposed to auto-tune.
but on this track it sounds great.
MGMT is one of the only bands I've heard, that knows how to use auto-tune well.
it sounds shit with steroes, kanye west and t-pain.
but it sounds great here.
