LYRICS:
Nothing to declare
Not in the bags under my eyes
I can see you standing there
But still there’s nothing to reply
The world’s my fin de claire
My Spanish castle in the sky
I can see it floating there
But still there’s nothing to define
If I’m worlds away
I’m Holding mountains in my hands
Starlight ain’t never gonna let me down
Until I stumble like a drunkard back to town
Then I end up where you are
Keeping the sanctuary warm
Don’t ask me who I am
Don’t ask me where I was
Nothing to declare
Not in the valise of my mind
All the documents are there
But still there’s something to decide?
The world’s my fin de claire
the waters beckon me to dive
I can tell the pearl’s in there
and still there’s nothing I can find
If you let me go
I’ll fall as far I can fall
Starlight ain’t never gonna bring me home
Until I wake up like a baby in the womb
Then I’ll wonder who you are
Keeping the conversation light
Don’t ask me how I know
Don’t ask me how I know
Don’t ask me how I know
Don’t ask me how I know

Tyyur 0:27 😢
thank you. i had no idea.
Peace love light happiness creativity health wealth and prosperity 🙏🏻
I had no idea when I clicked on the video I’d see representation of myself. Thank you MGMT. What a beautiful song accompanied by a wonderful video. I’m bawling because as someone with a lack of upper extremities, I’ve never seen such casual representation especially done so beautifully.
Did you type this with your nose or your feet?
Wow that must of been such a cool feeling! I was wondering is it possible for someone with no arms like the woman in the video to travel alone like that? Or would one usually have someone with them?
@@milanloranger8372I actually used my finger! I have two fingers on my right side!
@@Absolukelygood question! Everyone is different but I’ve traveled on my own quite a few times :)
May I ask some more (potentially assinine) questions? How does one get dressed, pay for things, put on a backpack?
MGMT is on a totally different plane of creativity. I love this band.
Agreed, their music makes my soul fly
They've almost tapped into a Simon and Garfunkle vibe with this one!
@@user-wm6gi6bz9xYes!! I’ve been feeling the same!
Last of the real ones
You'd really like Elliott Smith then.
The ending with the armless statue is perfect.
‘The armless statue’.
As in arguably the most famous ancient Greek sculpture in the world?
I suppose if she went to Rome, maybe she could stand under a colourful ceiling. Or perhaps walk atop a long wall in China.
@@Elephantstonica yeah this guy should be locked in an iron maiden. I mean at this point who HASN'T learned the name for every piece of famous art from every culture at any given time in history?
@@aomoxomoa3658
Umm..nobody. But then nobody is expecting anyone to.
Wrong side of bed this morning? Couldn’t find your reading glasses and Xannies?
@@Elephantstonica I already knew the venus de milo before the clip, but seriously, you sound like a jerk.
@@aomoxomoa3658 It would take literally 3 seconds of googling to not sound ignominious and stupid. No one said they should be waterboarded for it. It's just idiotic to not go and look it up first before stating it. Literally everyone knows this statue.
Finally a soundtrack for when I'm going through customs. Thank you MGMT.
😂😂😂
Hahaha
I’m literally at the airport right now lol
Music For Airports by Brian Eno!
😂😂😂😂😂
this music video is just absolutely amazing. the end cut with the Venus statue brought me shivers, damn
Is that how little it takes? :P
@@siqck not everyone is dead inside
@@yseson_ Yeah, sure, that sentiment you are expressing has nothing to do with my comment, me as a person, or anything but yourself. So, you have a great day anyway, or as good a day as someone who thinks and tells people that their dead inside possibly can.
@@siqck look at you, typing with your hands
@@STONEYWHITE Look at you doing exactly the same thing? Yet saying absolutely nothing at all with them... Have a great day.
I don't think I'm living fearlessly enough
Wow that hit, I totally feel that too after watching the video
This comment made me cry
I’m not either. I try. But I fail often.
I am not living at all:/
right.. this video is a great reminder to send it while ya can
This video....if you ever woundered why art is important , here it is. I couldn't look away. This girl is gorgeous and so is every frame. I feel so good just for watching and listening to this music.
The visual captured the soul of the song. Together, it told a beautiful story.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The point is not that shes gorgeous. its that shes the same as all women.
Yes. This is the true art.
@@EmperorofMu ❤️
It's a great feeling when you see a band you loved growing up still making great music and staying 100% true to themselves whilst keeping pushing their sound forward. So rare these days.
fr fr 🥲
I wouldn’t say this is pushing the sound forward, more like opening up a new box.
This is a tamed pop song its pushing nothing lol
Lol mediocre song pushed by fetishizing a minor
look into King Gizzard and the Lizzard Wizzard. They're the only band I know that can make music in basically any genre and keep their quintessential "KGLW" sound.
this hit hard for me. I've been in a wheelchair for about 3 months now and will have to use it for a few more. so this really shows me that I still have so much life left to live. things will never be the same but that doesn't mean they won't be good.
Stay strong my friend, you got this 💪
Hope it all works out 🙏
Totally comparable..
all the best for you ♥
I feel ya! I broke my hip at 39 and went through multiple surgeries and was on crutches and a walker for 11 months. Never thought it would end! You got this!
I love that the casual representation in this video has provoked so many genuine and honest questions from folk. Speaks volumes about the MGMT fan community that it's a warm and curious comment section.
i think mgmt fandom cannot be anything else but wholesome, i love you all and wish I knew an mgmt fan in real life
In all honesty, it didn't used to feel like that. I was at gigs around the Congratulations era when the whole audience went to the bar for any tune that wasn't Time to Pretend...@@dariavitafede3546
The artwork she views at 2:29 is by Berenice Olmedo who often uses prostheses and orthotics in her sculptures.
MGMT never fails to surprise me. They seem to have NO boundaries musically, and that is a magical thing.
It is amazing how they constantly switch through eras of music. Little dark age being 80s inspired, their earlier work being true electronica etc and now this, kinda…. Folky? Guitar pop with some synth? Mat and Kim-esque ha
Pink Floyd of our age
They seem to have no boundaries in how boring they are willing to let their music get. Theirs is a continuing musical timeline of wasted promise.
@PhatInAHat says the person with most likely zero musical talent. Keep chirping from the basement 😂😂
@@PhatInAHat talentless no one. Awwww poor sad loser 😂
I love reading comments on MGMT videos.
I feel like we all would be great friends
Me too!
one of the most beautiful music videos I've ever seen. MGMT never fails and thank you Joey Frank and Inga Petry
Inga: Thank you for such an inspiring video! I am 80 years old and still the impact has been great - especially moving me to accept tha limitations of my time in life in a positive way.
I realize that the video picks up the moments which you manage to live in a positive way - there must also be many more difficult moments.
I wonder if you can see your situation as a gift from God! ... a mission which permits you to inspire so many people to face the difficult aspects of their lives in the most positive and fulfilling way the can. Your life is really a mission to help others in a way that very few can. My love and prayers for you to be able to continue being yourself in spite of all the difficult moments and situations and don't let your moments of weakness discourage you as they will only make your witness more authentic. Courage! You must be sure that you are helping so many, so much, just by being yourself
holy fuck.
here i am, watching the premiere and tearing up at my computer.
thank you, this is beautiful.
It feels rare, at least for me, to see artists release music videos anymore and even more so ones that feel as genuine and human as they sound! Keep up the awesome work! :)
hey have you heard the Doublejumps? you should look up their music if you like MGMT
Justin Hawkins said it perfectly. The music and video are so human.
😢 That was so precious. That parallel between her and Venus 💛
Very uplifting without being saccharine. Kudos to the musicians and that stunning young lady whose eyes show nuanced message paired exquisitely with the lyric. Thank you all
MGMT brings me to emotional places i hardly visit within myself and each one of the new songs of this album have delved into me so so deep I think I can confidently say they helped so much in the last few months. Maybe I’m corny but all their lyrics make me feel less alone, like someone out there understands and we are aligned somehow. That’s powerful and it warms my heart. Starting the new year with this song kinda makes it all better.
I so feel the same. Glad to see others feel it too
@@KoenRH2803that’s really nice to hear
I just cried like a baby watching this. So touching
I HAVE CLAIMED YOU AS A DEPENDENT ON ALL MY TAX FORMS...
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Man, this video was so visually mesmerizing that I missed the story of the lyrics. Will go back to listen. And the way this video has blown away my pity party as I was reflecting on the 6th memorial of my mother and grandmother's passing. Sheesh! I was really moved by that last scene--I get that pursuit.
Same. I don’t recall really hearing more than one line of lyrics! What a fascinating life she lives.
She must have amazingly strong legs dude
Out of all of the waves on the sea that is the music scene, we are fortunate and lucky that MGMT became such a tidal wave.
Forever grateful to MGMT and the music they have provided the world.
I was just talking about how remarkable people with no arms are and now I see this video. Thank you MGMT for always pushing the boundaries and taking us with you!
MGMT I'll be forever grateful for your music and helping through my darkest period in life.
This dark age isn't very little.
MGMT es una linda parte de ese periodo oscuro...
darkest period yet ;)
customs?
Same here brother. Little Dark Age did so much for me.
Ok so this is exactly what mgmt does best. Unexpectedly emotional songs. I want them all like this with clear vocals and no reverb
AGREED! I like mgmt but I usually can’t understand the lyrics until I read them
The reverb is defo there, probably a short and a long one. I'm an audio engineer so, yeah. It's just tastefully added.
They do have quite a bit of reverb, just not as pronounced as in other songs maybe
there is reverb it's not subtle but it's really well added
this not the song you’re looking for if you don’t want reverb
I would spend my afternoons with a great friend of mine watching MGMT videos after class while having the craziest conversations, he left us way too soon last year, he would have loved this one.
I love how this video has such a "trad" vibe, while covering something some may see as progressive. It isn't pushing a message. It is simply showing you a day in this girls life.
Damn that’s a long airplane
It's like my snake
the ones who didn’t watch the premiere teaser will never understand what u commented about 😂
@@cannabischannelOMG ahahahahah
@@nenjidesui watched 😂
That's what she said
I listened to this when it premiered, and their new singles are so good. I'm getting "Congratulations" vibes from the new songs and I'm not mad about that. Thank you MGMT for sticking with me through all these years
This was my first reaction too. It's much more subdued than Little Dark Ages was
It feels like a hodgepodge of everything they've done before, probably their most unpredictable batch of singles yet. Idk what to expect from the rest of the album but I think it's gonna be career defining
@@alextorres7655 I totally agree. I feel like they’ve really matured and embraced their sound. I’m really excited for this album. I’ve been fans of these guys for over 10 years now and I’ve been waiting for so long for this!
@@alextorres7655i think if anything defines the new albums sound so far it’s definitely the most 90s inspired but an MGMT take on it.
I’m so excited for the album , I think all of their albums are great but I can see it possibly being their best.
No this is more 11.11.11 vibes
drinking tea with your toes might be the swaggest thing ever
The part with the lemon squeezed and the oysters got me.
I’m loving the sound of this record so far off the singles. Very laid back. Thank you for the new music 🙏🏽
I sort of got off the MGMT train after Congratulation, but everything they've been doing lately has been really good. Interested to hear the new album
@@Official_KC I like where they’re going as far as their evolution. Little dark age was amazing. But these singles sound like the album gonna be more of an acoustic sound if that makes sense. But hop back on!
I’m so excited for this album, I love all three songs so far.
I clicked out of curiosity as CZcams recommended this and stayed till the end not only for the incredible song but for the mesmerizing visuals. Life is truly beautiful.
Hell yeah MGMT and Pittsburgh
MGMT are up there with the all time greats, their musical creativity is unbelievable
That was so beautiful, these singles keep getting better and better
I was deeply moved by this music video. It's not just a visual treat; it's a profound statement on representation and the beauty of adversity. The way disability is portrayed here is nothing short of revolutionary - it's done so elegantly, showcasing the simplicity and beauty in the everyday actions performed differently. This video has set a new standard for what music videos can aspire to be - a canvas not just for artistic expression but for meaningful social commentary as well. Kudos to MGMT for pushing the boundaries and giving us something that's not just a song, but a powerful message. It's refreshing to see such depth and thoughtfulness in a world often dominated by more superficial content.
I'm completely obsessed with this video. It's as if Elliot Smith and the Flaming Lips' had born the lovechild of a twin flame reunion.
blablabla
Best girl, best video should be nominated with the GRAMMY and more, and the song brings beautiful and sad melancholy: a mixture of tears with a lust for life
This song is a melancholic hymn to being free. I have never felt so free and at peace. I praise the lord for he is loves me as I am!
I can't stop sobbing.
I love how they’ve switched their style, remaining at the same time, true to themselves
*eyeroll*
My favorite part was her petting the corgi, fluffy dogs feel good on the feets 😊
The art of choosing sounds and harmonies that make each song a different and surprising masterpiece. This is MGMT. One of the greatests of this century. Moreover, astonishing ideas and beautiful takes in this video.
At 1:12 when she yawns and covers her mouth with her foot. I just love that.
La chica mirando a la Venus de Milo es realmente poesía pura 😍
Yes, this scene made me cry
Oh wow.. what a beautiful, bittersweet gem this song is. Love these esoteric lyrics that evoke the dreamy, ambiguous mystery of life. Can't wait for this album.
When MGMT get it right, they really get it right. This song is fantastic
I have a funny feeling this will be my favourite MGMT album.
She’s a work of art. ♥️
The original sculpture had hands, just the hands were beaten off by vandals
@@lllKSTlll Yet still a work of art
@@lllKSTlll the woman in the video may well have had them too once
@@ShanevsDCsniperr In any case, cutting off hands is not an art, both for the human body or for sculpture
On a deeper level, they could mean that the differences we have, and the things we have gone through - our trials and tribulations, out difficulties, the things we felt were missing - are what make us art. Unique, resilient gifts of heart and soul.

Don't ask me how I know
Was scrolling endlessly, looking for this‼️✅
This is probably my favorite music video I've seen in a long time❤
sames
I love this band too much. They have been the soundtrack to my pre-teen years, playing videogames and being all happy go lucky, to the depression of teenage years, psychedelic discovery in young adulthood, and now maturing in my adulthood. God bless Andrew and Ben, creative souls on the same level as Lennon, Bowie, Byrne, Wayne Coyne, and more.
Go Inga!!!! So cool to see where life has brought you. You are an icon
wow that last shot was so incredibly beautiful, all art imitates life. Cheers to this girl and another amazing MGMT song
The arms were broken off that statue by the visgoths ....so whats you point?
She is beginning her journey in Pittsburgh baby!!!
A beautiful clip for a beautiful song... Thank you MGMT and all the crew behind and front of the camera.
That was incredible. My fav music video I think. She was SO BRAVE!
@@mitchellerobersonand really inspiring ❤ brought me to tears!
I like how it started off sounding like Elliot Smith song, I feel as though the rest of the band was sneaking in the middle of the song, which felt like if a stone that just came on were in audio. Then turning into the Shins and ending like a MGMT vibe. I love how you change your guys sound and don't sound like the same thing EVERY song. I truly appreciate how you evolve
Ugh you nailed it. Elliott forever
It started off sounding like Simon and Garfunkel
@@111whitepony111 yeah, I can see why you'd say that, but Simon and Garfunkel would have a harmony, not doubled tracking. Like to Elliot Smith. Some songs I suggest would be Between The Bars, Miss Misery, and Needle In The Hay
lol. i don't think you see the irony of your post.@@josephleonard1724
Definitely sounds like an Elliot Smith song ❤
MGMT does it again! What an amazing moving music video. Makes you appreciate the little things in life that other people don't have and the big things in life that people don't have. The song is the backdrop to the film. Truly a great piece of art this video.
When she looks at Venus de milo ( with no arm ) broke me 🦘🇦🇺☮️
This is how Simon and Garfunkel would sound today. Very beautiful song. Nothing to Declare and Mother Nature are my favorite in the album, although almost all songs are very good.
Your music helped me through one of the hardest times in my life through 2013-2016 thank you , you guys are beyond vibes
you guys are beyond vibes

@@LeadBeatPinkyour cringe for posting negativity on someone’s thoughtful message about music they enjoy

This video has genuinely kept my attention. It matches perfectly with the song. I love it! ❤
This album feels so much more textured and personal more than they have ever been, they really reinvent themselves every time which is what artists surely should be doing.
whats the reinvention here ?
@@HEATSEEKER00 does this sound like little dark age to you, or congratulations?
well it does not sound like little dark age because that album had collaborators on the tracks .... its sounds exactly like congratulations
@@hippiecheezburger5457
This is somehow exactly what I needed to see in this moment. Thank you MGMT. You've done it again.
… how dare they release this gorgeous, Congratulations-level, existential hymn as a balm for this depressing moment in time … ‽‽?!!
Mgmt always shows up at the right moment
Beautiful song. She's incredible.
Beautiful video. I could see the ending coming, with the Venus de Milo.
But the little thing that struck me was the ironic juxtaposition at 2:37, when the woman without arms encounters the armed guards.
She didn't have arms but she had so much beauty and strength
I love the Simon and Garfunkel vibes. Specifically The Boxer, both great songs!
После просмотра этого шедевра у меня появилось чувство, что я уже знала эту девушку, какбуд то мы стали друзьями. Спасибо❤
I know it's just a music video but letting her take a hit of the blunt was awesome.
ДА, КАК ЖЕ КРАСИВО
Bittersweet, cynical, triumphant lyrics that help me thru my personal darkness and happiness. Forever my favorite band
This song has a beauty similar to Simon & Garfunkel.
If this video does not win all the awards the system is flawed... a truly original concept executed perfectly ... Life becomes art .. a total win.
Is that the proof you need to know the system is flawed? Newsflash: it is, as well as rigged.
I love this song ❤ a new flavor for MGMT too! Its refreshing and i totally see how it blends with Mother Nature and Bubblegum Dog. I’m extremely excited for the full album release on 02/23/24! I love the Pittsburgh clips in this, as im local to there and saw them live in Pittsburgh too. I hope they return for the tour of this album!
I was thinking the same thing and saw them in the burgh too
Easter eggs: Andrew and Ben actually appears in this (Beautiful!) videoclip: Andrew 0:56 on the left of the screen
Ben 0:30 center.
They appear in many parts of the video, even in the ceramic sculptures, the soldiers, the people at restaurants and street etc etc 😁🫶🏻
Dear members of MGMT, can you please post a story how you discovered Inga, and brought her into your story about her? I think this behind the scenes sub-story would be benificial and how Inga is doing battling her unfortunate cancer. Our prayers are all going out for her full recovery!! Thank you for being such a creative wonderful and meaningful band!!
This song has been carrying me for like the past five days or so. Thank you for the music.
Bit of an Elliott Smith/Beatles vibe from this one. Its crazy how different they sound each album, while still being pretty recognizable.
That plane is heading to Mexico??? Because we are waiting for you here 🇲🇽🇲🇽
Spotify invited me to their live event with MGMT since I’m a top fan and they didn’t even notify me on the app about it, I’m so devastated.
Love the way she looks at the T-rex, a king with close to no arms.
This sounds like a Beatles song was made in the modern age and I'm 100% here for it.
I didn't know MGMT was back??? Love this for us.
Yes!!!!
“Look around you, art is everywhere La La La.”
You never know what your gonna get with MGMT
Yea! So superb to be part of another premiere ❤ thank you MGMT!
Thank you MGMT for saving my life.
Jajaja novato
Whole album is great, it’s definitely a mellow or vibe. And there’s undertones of regretting drug use.
Desde que eu fiz 27 anos, sinto que estou descobrindo tudo de novo sobre o mundo como se tivesse acabado de começar tudo. Mesmo com tantas experiências, ainda me surpreendo, quanto mais eu tento entender as pessoas, menos eu entendo. Já mudei uma centenas de vezes mas continuo eu mesmo e não faço a menor ideia do que isso significa. Obrigado MGMT
é o cortex frontal que terminou de se desenvolver
I feel the same. Thank you for sharing
@@angiepereira9428 hahaha droga, eu ri.
That was beautiful thanks Ben and Andrew and the whole crew ✌️💯
MGMT, this actually reminds me of a trip I took alone, to Las Vegas to see you guys when I was going through a hard breakup- had a great time at the concert, met a couple mgmt fans and hung out with them there at the palms, thank you for your incredible music, you make life worth living 🎉
Ive loved these two for so long. This is why.
Suffered through a break up in September. It was my fault and all’s I gotta do is reflect and learn. Mgmt has a way of getting my feelings out. Thank you so much.
Beautiful song showing beautiful people
The model of this video is ART ✨️
I must declare that Justin Hawkins of The Darkness sent me here! Brilliant song writing! Absolutely love it.
Justin Hawkins is a legend
Love MGMT. Love this song. Love seeing my hometown of Pittsburgh. Love seeing this incredible young woman living a full life. There’s a lot to love about all of this.
