2024 and I love, love, love this song!!! I'm 73 and so relate to missing my parents and childhood, which were the best ever times. Make sure you surround yourself with simple pleasures and good people.
we're fated to pretend
And dogs
his voice has something so beautifully vulnerable in it..
Okay?
Your choice of words is somehow spot on. I love it.
Probably the vulnerability
Accutually are 2 voices
This song makes me sad bc it reminds me that this young life I have right now with the people in it is just temporary, soon it’ll all just fade.
kevin enjoy it while it lasts. Seriously. You don't know what you got til it becomes a memory
Kevin. Get a model for a wife
No matter how bad times are, a day will come when you'll miss it.
if live life looking back or you'll never be happy with the future.
It doesn’t have to fade, trust me 🙏🏾
Underrated drummer
Very. So tight.
Do you know his name?
why is it drummers are always "underrated"? nobody ever says underrated keyboardist...
i dont know the Keyboardist is not underrated lol
@@michaelh.1262 Because he hits things as opposed to playing things
Truly one of the greatest songs ever written.
Really? I mean I like this song a lot but there’s not much too it. Even the creators didn’t think much of this song…
@@leeartlee915 they say that, i know... But a great song is a great song. I was at a fucked up time in my life when this album came out and it was a small bit of light.
@@leeartlee915 and they don't mind playing the hits to festival crowds for festival pay!
@@BobbyGeneric145 Right… but you said one of the greatest songs ever written. That just seems to be a bit much, don’t you think? I think you saying “this song means a lot to me because of the time when it came out” makes a ton of sense. I mean everyone is entitled to their opinion… no matter how far out it is.
@@leeartlee915 Definitely one of the best songs ever written. In fact so many bands have tried to copy this sound, along with the sounds of Electric Feel, because of its greatness...but no band has even come close. Im looking at you Tame Impala.
This version has become THE version for me.
Gekokujo76 seriously acoustically makes this song hundreds of times better
SAME
same here! haha.
It's better to me as well!
Absolutely. It forces you to listen to the lyrics and it makes it so much damn fun
finally a version i can hear his voice
You really appreciate how the drummer really carries this song when watching live. I wish they'd have made Will Berman a proper part of the band, he is a massive talent.
I was always just sooo impressed by the drums in this song, such an interesting beat and I think that actually Andrew played them on the album as the two of them recorded most of the instruments alone for OS, nevertheless, just a talented bunch of guys 🥹
i love the way they look super bored of playing this song
Drummers on point!
I love his little guitar he does to introduce the beat back for the second verse after "i'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms". He is so damn adorable ❤
Hard to put into words how much I love this song...deeply deeply spiritual
"Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?" Sounds like it, lol.
Such an incredible version. It’s so ethereal
There's just something beautiful and nostalgic in this version. It's awesome!!
This song makes me feel like I'm falling and I'll never reach the ground.
they are so grown up...
I rather liked this version. Liked the more melancholy vibe to it and also the instrumental arrangement seemed to create a more wall of sound to it. Just my two cents.
That's how it should sound, great performance!!
God I wish they kept this style and sound going... They could have been the biggest band of the 10s.
That’s what they were avoiding
@@melvinfernando2290 i know, but you don't have to do a complete 180 to maintain integrity.
@@BobbyGeneric145 I was on the same train, I actually got mad at them. But I kept watching interviews and docuseries, they basically hated this song and the other big 2 songs. And honestly when everyone knows you for just 3 songs that you don’t even find represent you, it can be pretty degrading
@@melvinfernando2290remember they didn't expect people to like the songs it all started as a parody of pop music so they tried to make the most ridiculous pop song to prove a point but instead found fame from kids, electric feel and time to pretend. I feel kids was worn out on radio airplay. Time to pretend would come on the radio sporadically even now when it does come on its very rare.
@@k.h.304great song tho
I use to listen to this music when i was 16, now 10 years later it hit in a different way. U know like u have a little discomfort that u can’t itch off.
Nostalgia
That’s the ache of nostalgia.
Finally I hear a live version of this song in which Andrew isn't whispering. I know I'm 9 years too late, but better late than never :P
I thought that too!
Andrew is so perfect ):
this is a very pretty version of the song. :) thanks for uploading!
I'm feelin' rough I'm feelin' raw I'm in the prime of my life
Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars
This is our decision to live fast and die young.
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.
Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
Forget about our mothers and our friends
We were fated to pretend.
I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone
But there is really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten. life can always start up anew
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,
We'll find some more models, everything must run its course
We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
Yeah yeah yeah
I love this song - now, watching MGMT perform it live I'm deeply impressed. This song just has something about it that is huge and magnificent yet melancholy. I never get tired of it - or them.
Damn this band is tight...
Though it isn’t a cheerful song, by the look of this video I felt happier at a funeral
Why am i so obsessed with andrew
Because, no homo, hes a sexy charismatic man!
hes so fuckin perfect wtf
@@emillyrockeiradastratocast7779 im no ugly man but I couldn't imagine cruising around through life lookin like that with an awesome band!
Super late to this party and it's the album version that got the hook in me and this holds up very nicely. I thought there's no chance in hell they're going to get even close just fucking outstanding top notch top flight top shelf top tier top everything fucking crazy good thank you pure joy
a little punctuation never hurt anybody
The grammar police and Karens unite . Well played
@@tylercoogan1870 now you've hurt my feelings
THE VIBE IS GREAT ❤️💎💗
The best songs are life affirming. This is one.
Just heard this song on The Magicians and had to come here to hear the full version. Great song.

Increíble como esta canción no envejece 💎
Give the drummer some ❤
I can hear this on replay!
Sounds even better live.
This is the best live vocals I’ve heard of them. Shame they hit the snooze button.
i think i heard them say this song makes them the most emotional to play on stage
What a love version that is. 👏
Always delighted with KCRWs sound.
Just watch Alien Days and Siberian Breaks from the same set 🔥

This is a fantastic song. Great sound. Drummer is tight.

The piece is also perfectly integrated, the chords, the effects, the rhythm... Express how they are mixed the message, so it is a good one...
