    LYRICS:
    Half of love is still love
    You beg the dawn to ease you in
    Pass the time
    A thousand ways
    In the dump
    You’ll find love
    Half the time I feel sad
    And any kind of love will do
    But It’s a job
    Don’t know if that’s the dream
    In a style that’s insincere
    For a six dollar coffee
    And municipal parking
    And Disney on ice
    I wish I was joking
    I wish I was joking
    I wish I was joking
    I wish I was joking
    I wish I was joking
    Here’s the thing about drugs
    They’ll sink your mind
    And steal your friends
    You kiss the sky below the bed
    You get in the car but don’t go
    I’m kind of in to being home
    It’s the time for love affairs
    ‘Cause now and then
    I can’t tell right from wrong
    You talk me down
    You raise the dead
    Nobody calls me
    The gangster of love
    At six in the morning
    A new day is dawning
    I wish I was joking
    I wish I was joking
    I wish I was joking
    I wish I was joking
    I wish I was joking
    I wish I was joking
    I wish I was joking
    I wish I was joking
    I wish I was joking
    Half of love
    Half of love is still love

    I think the album is decent. I think this track is amazing. It’s gut wrenching. It makes me tear up every time I listen to it.
    There is something so utterly relatable about this disassociative disbelief, it’s so sad and almost comical. And it’s all communicated in this lush hook. Fuck.
    Definitely feeling some Soft Bulletin vibes on this one. Well done lads

    Half of love is still love
    You beg the dawn to ease you in
    Pass the time a thousand ways
    In the dump, you'll find love
    Half the time I feel sad
    And any kind of love will do
    But it's a job
    Don't know if that's the dream
    In a style that's insincere
    For a six-dollar coffee
    And municipal parking
    And Disney on ice
    I wish I was joking
    I wish I was joking
    I wish I was joking (I wish I was joking)
    I wish I was joking (I wish I was joking)
    I wish I was joking (I wish I was joking)
    Here's the thing about drugs
    They'll sink your mind
    And steal your friends
    You kiss the sky below the bed
    You get in the car but don't go
    I'm kind of in to being home
    It's the time for love affairs
    'Cause now and then
    I can't tell right from wrong
    You talk me down
    You raise the dead
    Nobody calls me
    The gangster of love (gangster of love)
    At six in the morning
    A new day is dawning
    I wish I was joking
    I wish I was joking (I wish I was joking)

    Best song off the album imo. Extremely moving and grandiose. And can you believe it, once again Pitchfork completely misses the point in their review : "Though it sports a couple of genuinely laugh-out-loud funny lyrics-the conversational frankness of “Here’s the thing about drugs” as the first line of a verse; the allusive specificity of “No one calls me the gangster of love” as an entry in the subsequent list of downsides-the tune simply isn’t robust enough to support the plodding melodrama of its arrangement, no matter how smartly it conveys the narcissistic bathos of addiction."
    Thinking the best rated MGMT output in 17 is their Late Night Tales compilation...SMH...

    • @Kaoruishere
      @Kaoruishere Před 2 měsíci +3

      They never got MGMT. Eventually every other outlet managed to get past their initial "Congratulations" trauma, but Pitchfork is still sticking to its guns like a MF. At this stage it's probably just to keep the meme going.

    Bring back the old mgmt, I'm not happy with the new one.

    Ain't that sweet when there's no way back. Gone forever, but still being found over and over again. Melted and twisted never ending love. Dreams and desires. The Fallen Empire. Oh how I love you. ❤
