Lyrics:
Everything carries weight
Everything is the same within us all together
Everything carries weight
Everything is the same and we are all together (ooh)
I can't keep my head up
I'd like to stay by my friend stay by my friend
But I can't keep my head up
I can't keep seem to keep my head (oh do do do do)
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over (na na na na)
But you're still there treading water (do do do do)
But you're still there treading water
Can't keep my head
I hate to seem so shallow
I'd like to get deeper in, swim deeper in
But I can't find the water
I can't seem to find my way (oh do do do do)
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over (na na na na)
But you're still there treading water (do do do do)
But you're still there (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
I can't keep my head up I can't keep my head up I can't keep up
But you're still there treading water (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still there treading water
You can drift along you've got the time
The rest of us will live and die like plastic soldiers
Only growing older

Portugal. The Man took 2017 by the horns after a considerably long gap, between records. They spent years working on an album called Gloomin + Doomin before later developing what would become known as their latest studio album WOODSTOCK. Fate struck lead singer, John Gourley, twice. First, John got some parental tough love from his old man. “What’s taking so long to finish the album?,” John’s dad asked. “Isn’t that what bands do? Write songs and then put them out?” The whole thing got John thinking about why the band seemed to be stuck on a musical elliptical machine from hell and more importantly, about how to get off of it. Second, John found his dad’s ticket stub from the original 1969 Woodstock music festival, which ultimately knocked something loose in his head. He realized that, in the same tradition of bands from that era, Portugal. The Man needed to speak out about the world crumbling around them.
With these two ideas converging, the band made a seemingly bat-shit-crazy decision: they took all of the work they had done for the three years prior and threw it out. The band went back to the studio - working with John Hill, Danger Mouse and longtime collaborator Casey Bates. In this new-found creative territory, the album that became WOODSTOCK rolled out naturally from there. Fast forward to present day and it was impossible to escape the album’s first single “Feel It Still,” which dominated the charts and radio airwaves in 2017. The 6X Platinum Certified hit reigned at #1 at nearly all radio formats, including Top 40, as well as Alternative, where the song held the chart’s top spot for a mind-blowing 20 weeks, breaking the record for most weeks at #1. Yes, you read that right. 5 guys from Wasilla, Alaska who have played nearly 1,500 shows in their career broke Alternative radio records and had a #1 song at Pop radio. Billboard Magazine even went as far as to call the song, “the unexpected rock crossover hit of 2017,” while Rolling Stone listed it as “one of the best songs of 2017.” AND THEN…the band kicked off 2018 by winning a GRAMMY Award for “Feel It Still.” WOODSTOCK has since been certified gold, as has their second single “Live In The Moment”.

Their best album by far.
Well said
Absolutely. It's my favorite of theirs.
One of the best albums of my life, by far
Yup!
In the mountains in the clouds is better
1:40 Man, this guitar part is like playing directly inside your soul
You know the feeling you get sometimes when you listen to music that’s like butterflies in your stomach? This whole band does that for me.
Yeah, the songs that make you come undone during the very first listen 👍🖤
Absolutely. This album is a masterpiece.
Ditto. PTM are wizards.
That’s pretty g@y mAn
Oh god here we go again. Dude you need your balls re-attached.
Gotta listen to this and "Smile" back-to-back for a fucking amazing experience.
Ha, I thought I was the only one that did this. Masterpieces, both of them. 😌
I find it works even better if you squeeze about ten songs in between 'em
the whistle at 4:37 makes my life flash before my eyes
same I love that bit
I miss when u could listen to an entire album and every song is gold. This did that for me.
If this album sounds like another band to you, (Broken Bells, The Black Keys, etc.) it's because Danger Mouse produced it, they kept a lot of their originality though. If you're interested in similar artists look up Danger Mouse and the albums he's produced/ worked on.
When listening to this album i can't but help hearing The Beatles.
oh my god, freakin love broken bells. probably why i like this too
@@Pete-mk3oj agreed :)
Now everything makes sense
Lol thank you for your commitment, seriously, cuz i literally just asked the guy I'm home with right now who exactly Danger Mouse is and he doesn't know, so you helped me out 🖤🥂
Still tripping over this in 2019
Peter Elemi-Ecoma hell, I’m still trippin over this in 2020
i just recently found out about this album and i love it
In 2021.
I know what you mean
Me too
Genius lyric writing!
"You can drift along
You've got the time
The rest of us will live and die
Like plastic soldiers
Only growing older"
What a way to open an album!
Still listening to this album all the time in 2024. Long live PTM.
Everything carries weight
Everything is the same
Within us, all together
Everything carries weight
Everything is the same
And we are all together
I can't keep my head up
I'd like to step on my friends
Step on my friend
But I can't keep my head my head up
I can't seem to keep my head
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still in
Treading water
But you're still in
Treading water
I'd hate to seem so shallow
I'd like to get deeper in
Swim deeper in
But I can't find the water
I can't seem to find my way
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still in
Treading water
But you're still in
I can't keep my head above ground (I can't keep my head above ground, can't keep my head)
I can't keep my head above ground (I can't keep my head above ground, can't keep my head)
I can't keep
I can't keep my head above ground (I can't keep my head above ground, can't keep my head)
I can't keep my head above ground (I can't keep my head above ground, can't keep my head)
I can't keep
But you're still in
Treading water
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still in
Treading water
You can drift along
You've got the time
The rest of us will live and die
Like plastic soldiers
Only growing older
You can drift along
You've got the time
The rest of us will live and die
Like plastic soldiers
Only growing older
You can drift along
You've got the time
The rest of us will live and die
Like plastic soldiers
Only growing older
Fckn genius
I love this song. My favorite part is from 4:05 til the end.
Me too... Beatles esque... It's orchestrated beautifully
Such an amazing song, such beautiful lyrics. What an album with a lot of pondering for the human condition. Right now the world seems so cruel and divided again, so much suffering, so many innocent lives lost for meaningless vain pursuits that will all be lost very soon to the enormity of time on this giant ball we live on that races for billion of years in the universe. Sometimes I close my eyes while listening to music like this and imagine it can heal the world. I know it cannot but still I like to imagine it.
Not only are their songs amazing but they're the real MVP for the lyrics in the description.
"Mom" is in the URL
just thought I'd point that out
What an amazing discovery, I think you earn this
*gives Nobel Prize* for your fantastic work, GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR Joex_532
(This is called sarcasm)

you're just mad you didn't notice it first

This album is a masterpiece
What an album
Great song, love it!
Que album MARAVILHOSOOO!!!! ❤
Still one of the best concerts I have ever attended. I hear this and I'm suddenly 22 again and standing in fog in a hall in Detriot, watching their silhouettes play an amazing set. One of the best summers of my life. :)
It's about the music and nothing else
Can't wait for their next album.
+Snowblind Lo mismo digo! / The same i say!
+Daniela Castañeda just say translate me too. hahA. but yezzzzz
Any opinion about it now?
@@roscoesmith1915 it's pretty catchy
every song is a nice pop tune except for Easy Tiger. that song sucks
Roscoe Smith it’s decent but not nearly as good as evil friends
Omgg I wish so much I had bought those Damn concert tickets. I want to see them live so bad
this is perfect i will never stop listening
Are you still listening to this song?
I started listening to the band back in 2015, I was 15 and dreamed of engineering school and freedom. In 2020, I got what I wanted and lost so much more. I did not pay attention to what actually mattered back then, so this whole album is a life lesson in its own to me: don't focus too much on one single thing and forget about what is at the corner of your eye
My dad started listening to this so I’ve started too and it’s awesome
One of my favorite songs, from my favorite band!
listening to this album on lsd is amazing. even looking at the cover of the album is a trip! lol
I do believe the artist had Sid helping out with the artistic development;>)
The best song of this album! Love it!❤️❤️
Hands down. My new favorite Portugal. The man album!
the most underrated song on this album
This album got me through 2020. Enough said.
I loooove this song, it's so chilled out.
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH
It's my favorite song! 3
Amo esta canción 3

I'm guessing its supposed to be spelled "soliders," I thought I was still tripping on acid but I'm obviously not.
Wasn't expecting this. Such a Solid Album
Hi have u heard of this song called Time by The Impures, is a bop listen to it
what a tune!
like wow! so amaze.
1:41 I can feel it in my chest. Man.
Top Tune surprised its not as popular as some of the others.Vocals are a treat
Honestly, insane album, cannot wait til 9th of September (UK release date), I was sooooo gutted when the 4th came and i found out id have to wait another 3 months! Hopefully gonna see P.TM play on their tour, cannot wait
Thank you for some amazing music, this is the first actual CD I bought in years.
"Like plastic surgeons." I can't be the only one..
This song is fantastic
L'une de leur plus belle musique.
Top 5 album of my lifetime
This is much more euphoric than the other tracks that were prereleased. I like this much more and cant wait to listen to the remainder of the album.
THIS SONG AND WAVES MAKE ME WANT TO CRY MY SHIT OUT BUT I CANT
ive watched them at lollapalooza brasil. really good band and live theyre perfects
I can't stop listening to this song!

Dear Y:
How much time has passed since i saw that incorruptible smile? Do you still step on tour Friends? There isnt a day that goes by that i dont think of you.
Hi have u heard of this song called Time by The Impures, is a bop listen to it
i think the best parts are the begining and the ending, theyr're just beautifull
I Hope to see you in northern Germany after Covid19. Thanks for uplouding your music so I can find it fast to show it to Friends and foreign ppl...
I like the whole idea
I am looking forward to more music excellence from this group!
poxa nenhum defeito
Such a powerful song play it 2x!!!!!
Danger mouse strikes again, after Gnarls Barkley, Broken Bells, Electric Guest, Norah Jones....now this! He really gives artist a perfect frame for innovation!
this cd is rocking my world right now... please come to belgium if you can find the time... i will be waiting
Favorite song off the album
how is no one talking about the hook/chorus in this sounding exactly like feel it still??
OMG, I feel the same
I noticed that too
that was the first time i heard this song (I only recently discovered them), and it was the first thing I noticed
Good opener. Hits home
oh...my..god... soooo amazing.
Love these guys
Fav
at about 1:33, what is the actual line? I've seen lyrics showing "stay by my friends," and "step on my friends" (and I always thought it was "stab all my friends" lol)
I think step on my friends because its relating them to plastic soldiers
I hear stay by my friends
Strp on all my friends i think
I want a video for this beauty.
such a great song.
Hi have u heard of this song called Time by The Impures, is a bop listen to it
Love this
Soooooo sick
best song and I LIKE THEM ALL
You can make reality. Or you can let it make you. 💝🥺😆🧩
omg best song ever?
Thank god you guys put the entire album online! I mean, if I had the money I'd buy the shit out of all of your albuns ( especially It's complicated Being a Wizard).
Take it easy. And she was worth it....I guess.
If I wanted... I could cry listening to this song
The first time I listened to this, I didn't like it.
Now I'm sitting here like "HOW COULD I HAVE EVER NOT LOVED THIS?!?!!?"
The typo in the video title confused me for a while...
+MrFlaymore I was looking at it for like 40 seconds and I was thinking to myself "whats wrong with plastic soldiers?" And then I realized you were talking about the band name lmao that period is there on purpose its not a typo
Maura The Explorer I know what the band name is, they spelt soldiers wrong
+MrFlaymore OMFG THEY DID HAHHAHA I DIDNT SEE THAT LMAO SORRY
didn't notice it until now
plastic solidiers gives it a whole new context
amo essa música 🎶🎵
Na na na na na naaaa
Best PTM album out of them all? Or am I just bias because it's the first one I ever heard by them? Few lyrics have influenced me as much as, "you can drift along you've got the time the rest of us will live and die like plastic soldiers".
i havent cared for their other stuff as much also
COULD IT BE WE GOT LOST IN THE SUMMER?!
favorite fuckin album ever. cheers danger mouse
excelente album.
Thank you very much to DDaDDS for bringing me here. Never thought a dating simulator would give me such great music recommendations.
so schön, spät endeckt,
WAIT THIS CAME OUT IN 2013 WHAT THE
sweet new album!
Far better than “Feel it Still”
that's a single. this is not.
@@redfordreddington8834 what is your point?
this song makes my no no zone tingle.
FAIR CRITICISM
Ticking your no no zone isn't a parameter of criticism lol
