This song is about the utter emptiness of getting everything you ever wanted, and of realizing that your hunger is infinite, while anything that might satiate that hunger for a little while is finite.
It's the American Dream, baby
Ok, that explains it. I thought James was into kinky gay sex.
So just about life in general then...
Definitively.
@@nicholasprakash3411 I have always wondered if he is gay anyways?
James Murphy is not losing his edge.
This song to me is about self-destruction, yearning for love, and growing older. It captures exactly how I felt when I was working through PTSD and doing drugs, BDSM, and one night stands.
Any advice for someone going through something similar?
This song has torn me open and exposed my soul. "But that's okaaaaaay..."
I was very impressed when Soundsystem took a moment in their concert to honour the late GREAT Maestro Angelo Badalamenti by playing two of his most famous Twin Peaks works. Well done, gentlemen! RIP Maestro.
Damn Murphy despite his age still has his finger right on the pulse of the modern mental crisis
One of the few musical poets just aging like wine
To me, this is a wistful, sort of melancholy song about blaming all your problems on the world and wasting your life on dreams that aren't real. Does anyone else get that feeling?
id agree with that, american dream is obviously used pretty tongue in cheek in this track
I also feel it's about aging and becoming okay with aging - since it is going to happen to all of us. That themes runs through a lot of his songs, actually.
Says the man who blames all his problems on the world, and wastes his life on dreams that aren't real
Yeah it's like what's the point dude?? School. Work. Die. Work so your descendants can go to school. So they can then go to work. Rinse and repeat. No time nor energy for anything else. When can you actually do what you want? What if I want to read all day and not worry about anything? What if I just want to listen to this album all day? No, you always have to be doing something. But it can't be anything you want to do because you have to do this other thing soon. Not now, but soon. So when can I do what I want? Never. Just. School. Work. Die. All so you can have a pretty house (not a home, who has time nor money for a "home"?), in a pretty neighborhood, with a pretty partner. All so your descendant can live in a pretty house one day, in a pretty neighborhood, with a pretty partner. School. Work. Die. That's it. :)
@@PaulyM856 you took some time out of school work and die to write this. Try it more often
Wtf? This is seriously the best music I've heard in a while
I can’t just listen to this once. It’s a song you listen to 2-10 times a session.
Hi...I'm on 4 or 5 times in a row and thought I was weird. Thanks for this reassurance. ;)
4th time in a row and probably going for a fifth
Yup.
If I hear the original or Emily Haines' cover, I can't stop going back and forth between them.
Yes...👌👍
dear god this song is actual perfection
how is it that i can listen to it on repeat and not get sick of it?
Same. I have it on repeat a LOT and I just love it more and more.
I LOVE THIS BAND. Please, PLEASE keep making smart, original, creative, atypical music. You might not save music, but you might just save me.

@@Yash-tg2bw Alright that's it, we're issuing a ban on all 🤓s, y'all couldn't handle yourselves
@@WiloPolis03 sick
"find the place where you can be boring where you won't need to explain that you're sick in the head and you wish you were dead or atleast instead of sleeping you'd prefer your own bed" is such a haunting lyric to me because it's like i wrote it myself. it's terrifying. it perfectly sums up a point in my (pretty toxic) relationship with this girl i used to be friends with and partly why it ended. so many words in this song seem so identical to different points in my life. it feels so personal.
'You just suck at self-preservation versus someone else's pain'
Yes. Yes, I do.
Music is my only reprieve from this reality we live in anymore. Bless your soul, James Murphy.
try some books. Jules Verne for example ^^
William S. Burroughs - literally anything he's written
Kurt Vonnegut is good too
Well said
I now have an idea of what it's like to grow older with a sad heart. Just through music, James is a legend. ;(
I'm so glad that it's been 2 years and this song is still underrated. It's like I want to keep it for myself lol.
Murphy's Law. He deconstructs all the best parts of Earth's historical musical canon, fucks it about and comes up with his own utter unique and sublime beauty. Best mid life crisis tune ever.
I cry to this song and it feels good.
This song makes me cry right when it starts. The only other song that does that to me is everything will be alright by the killers.
I want you to know you made me discover "everything will be alright" by the killers, and I thank you so much for that
It's got a bit of a Doo Wop / Fifties feel to the melody.
Wait, are you me? Because those two are sooo important to me
This album is either incredibly catchy or depressing as hell. Love it
Depressingly catchy
@@samueljett7807 💯
Feel like that describes a lot of LCD Soundsystem stuff
this song really speaks volumes, about how simplicity can almost bring you to tears. I seriously listen to it about 10 times a day. I go to a different place when i hear it, a lot like "right where it belongs" by NiN
Do you know Arvo Pärt's Spiegel I'm Spiegel?
I'm so in love with this song.
Their performance on SNL blew me away. I watched it 20 times that night. It was great. I AM sick in head, and I DO suck at self-preservation. Love!
The same bittersweet melancholy nostalgia that Andromeda gave me. It's like going back to the house of your childhood and sleeping in the bed you've spent 16 years of your life in.
I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out; I didn't know what I wanted to do! And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it... I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, my God... the genius of that!
"It's a drug of the heart and you can't stop the shaking
'Cause the body wants what it's terrible at taking, oh"
Holy shit these lyrics are awesome and the music is god like
those lines hit hard somehow
God damn, it's so rare to have my expectations exceeded like this. Superb production, amazing song.
great song thank you james
Forever broken. Song is depressingly relatable even 7 years later
James! my boy I'm a straight up cannibal corps and slayer die hard fan but your music fawkn hit me right where it needed to ...to allow my love of my life come in ...hats off to you ..beautiful music
Now a days good music is so underrated. This song right here is a masterpiece and a deserve a lot of attention.
So I'm laying here in bed staring at a blank ceiling listening to this song and I start to slip into a full existential crises while a single tear starts crawling slowly down my cheek. Dude. James. It's Thursday. I gotta work in the morning... or do I... or do any of us... what are we... why are we... James! I'm slipping man, I'm slipping!
Comment of the day
hahhaa
Lol wut?
would you like a tampon, sir?
I am 40, and I have been suffering from intractable back pain for 16 years. The first I heard this song was when they played it on SNL. I had much the same reaction. I played this and Call the Police over and over until the sun came up, and I dreamed of being able to dance like their synth dude. JfromOH
Amazing dark synth sound here. Shades of Bowie, and OMD. You can here the influences of these two on this track. Think Bowie's 'Sound and Vision', and OMD's track 'Souvenir'.
Rob Tyman you are a musician...
Agreed. ☄️
Even some CAN too.
Rob Tyman "The Big Ship" by Brian Eno
I hear alot of "International" by OMD on here too. Especially those shimmering and glorious string synths
you broke my heart on my morning commute, and i shed a tear in front of strangers who never knew why
Lyrics
Wake up with somebody near you
And at someone else's place
You took acid and looked in the mirror
Watched the beard crawl around on your face
Oh, the revolution was here
That would set you free from those bourgeoisie
In the morning everything's clearer
When the sunlight exposes your age
But that's okay
And that's okay
Grab your clothes and head to the doorway
If you dance out, no one complains
Find the place where you can be boring
Where you won't need to explain
That you're sick in the head and you wish you were dead
Or at least instead of sleeping here you prefer your own bed, come on
You just suck at self-preservation
Versus someone else's pain
So you feel drained
And insane
And insane
He was leather and you were screaming
Swinging chains against the stage
And you couldn't know he was leaving
But now more will go with age, you know
So get up and stop your complaining
You know that you're the only one who's been destroying all the fun
Look what happened when you were dreaming
Then punch yourself in the face
So you kiss and you clutch but you can't fight that feeling
That your one true love is just awaiting your big meeting
So you never even asked for names
You just look right through them as if you already came
It's a drug of the heart and you can't stop the shaking
Cause the body wants what it's terrible at taking, oh
And you can't remember the meaning
But there's no going back against this California feeling
Dream
(Sha-bang, sha-bang)
American dream
(Sha-bang, sha-bang)
American dream
(Sha-bang, sha-bang)
American dream
(Sha-bang, sha-bang)
thank you
Gives a nostalgic feeling.
This song reminds me of the look he had on his face in Shut up and Play the Hits when he looked in the mirror the morning after the final show. A bittersweet realization that "i may have made a mistake."
I've had songs stuck in my head before, but this is the first song to be stuck in my heart
I want to wake up to someone somebody near me, and at someone else's place. This song is so raw. I can see this being a song that two people listen to 20 years from now, and them remembering their first time sleeping together, and then they slowly dance in the night to their memories of that night when they were young, reckless, lovers. They have found their place to be boring, with each other, to this song.
this production is impeccable
This sounds enormous while driving.
I watched them perform on SNL and fell in love with this song 😍😍😍😩 it's so good!!
My best friend Jazmin showed me this song, I don’t really listen to it too often, but i shuffled my music today and this song was the first one that played and I just remembered the good times, the long night drives on those cold days, our drives every summer day drinking Starbucks with an extra venti cup of water mine with no ice lol cause it was hot as fuck, smoking and eating a smoked bacon sandwich having random conversations, talking about our love life, our fantasies, dreams, sad moments. I remember you always had a smile on your face even if you were going thru some hard shit. And with this song, as soon as it starts, that’s how I remember you, smiling and I remember your “ugly laugh” like you used to call it.
But now, this year things are different, we’re going on separate ways, I’m not quite sure why you decided to just not talk to me anymore, I can think of something but not exactly why. I understand, maybe it’s good for you to be away from me, maybe you’re better without me. Maybe you found a new best friend. Idk, but you’ll always have a special place in my heart, I will always love you and I miss you, and I hope you can think of me every now and then like I think of you. Thanks for being my best friend for so many years! You made me really happy. I’m sure you won’t see this comment but I had to let it out. I love you Juanita
Honestly, this might be one of their best songs. I get the verse melody stuck in my head for weeks at a time.
this is such a beautiful song... it takes me to a lot of places i've never been before
This feels like the most relatable song I've ever heard.
Berlin era Bowie is still with us, ladies and germs
Fell in love with this song immediately! hit replay so many times I can't stop listening to this
This is absolutely mesmerizing.
Wish I could have played this at my ten year reunion and watch all the people I graduated with slow dance around their own regrets.
How many people failed from your ten year reunion ?
Matt Teller This comment is perfect, I can't wait to play it at mine in a year and a half.
I didn't go to mine. Do it for all the people that can't.
Matt Teller I'll take one for the team. Almost everyone I graduated with still lives in the same area, dates the same people, and works the same shitty jobs. I can't wait to go and watch them all try to convince everyone their lives aren't as awful as they clearly are.
Rickety Cricket You seem like a bit of an idiot. Don't talk to me.
"Look a what happened when you were dreaming" it means a lot to me
Such a brilliant song, made my day more tolerable.
I like the, "someone else's pain," lyric. I hope this is part of a brilliant album.
I could waltz with my true love to this. Somewhere she is listening.
My shuffling is on repeat. It is her embrace I am whistling.
I remember listening to this track when I would go and leave school back in 2017. Completely forgot about this song until I randomly remembered a lyric. The song is comforting to me now even though I feel I understand the lyrics now.
James, this is seriously too good. "So you kiss and you clutch but you can't fight that feeling/That your one true love is just awaiting your big meeting" I. Feel. This. Lyric. So. Much. TT_TT
I feel ya! I was minutes from falling asleep, then began listening to the track and proceeded to spend the next four hours of my night having an existential crisis. And I'm not even upset about it. Not in the slightest.
@@JCtubeLive I am lol
How could sounds like a song of morrisey with synths? like perfection
Beautiful! It's already playing on repeat.
Damn this is beautiful.
oh, so this is what it feels like when your soul drifts away to heaven...
Joshua Zubia or hell
when the single came out I just couldn't wrap my head around the mastery packed in this record. I really didnt like it and could only listen to call the police. Fast forward 2 years and now this is my favorite LCD song. it's so insanely good ot just needed some time after planting the seed in me to grow.
This was the first song by them that I ever heard. It was a live performance on a late night comedy show(maybe Jimmy Kimmel?), and I was floored by how powerful it was and how it clearly moved everyone present. (likely everyone watching at home as well) :P
Same here. I listened to oh baby. Fast fed a year - heard call the police at a friend's - loved it instantly. How had I missed it? Now seeing it live - I can't stop it resonating daily in my head. Weird. But glad it does.
The record spin syncs up *almost* perfectly with the song.
I've had this on constantly, totally on repeat, it's such a beautiful song!
It reminds me of something amazing out of the '80s!
It has some pretty obvious OMD influence, which itself has a lot of Kraftwerk influence
lcd sound system and 009 sound system are the best!
cant stop this song from playing constantly in my head. don't want to. tap the rhythm on everything. jesus f christ. So Good
Didn't know what to expect from this, but it still managed to surprise me. It's a genuinely beautiful song. Everything about it is perfect.
3:28 woooooooooow !!!!!
the sound of this music is awesome, love it...
Who else feels this nails life on the head.
only for some of us brother. only for some of us.
Authentic Masterpiece.
It always comes back to your head and you slowly realize how godly good this is
It's officially confirmed that 2017 is gonna be a year full of good music
*everything so far except the new gorillaz album*
:"))
Hm, so the same people who like the new LCD Soundsystem are the same people disappointed by the new Gorillaz? I have found my people!!!
Dude, the Gorrilaz album is good. You guys just don't know it yet.

I love this song
Man, the first hit got me like im melting in my own bed
This is one of the best songs ever.
This is such a sad song, so beautiful.
dear James, thanks for uploading this for free. you could have so easily done that spotify, apple music exclusive shit. or even just sold it on itunes like adele. so i really appreciate it my guy. you're a fucking champ.
I lost a lot of respect for Frank Ocean when he made Blonde an Apple-only, limited time release.
what are you on about? spotify is free, and this is on spotify.
You're welcome
Dear Trevor Harrison, Thanks for coming to work for no money. You could have so easily gone to work for another company, or some under-the-table shit. Or even just went into business to make money for yourself. So I really appreciate it my guy. You're a fucking champ. -Sincerely, Trevor's Boss
Why people refuse to pay for the music, that people often work tirelessly to create, that enhances our lives, that lifts us from our depressions,
Why people think it should be free and those artists should just expect nothing in return beside social media praise and occasional t-shirt or ticket sales.
Why this happens is beyond me. It's a bit sad.
Signed, Guy with walls full of CD's, cassettes, and vinyl that just doesn't get it.
#HeroShit
This is beautiful in the first two bars.
Like love, and sadness, and loss, and the beach, and candy.
Specifically, fine chocolate.
And dream sleep.
Love this song. So lucky to see them last week in London.
i love his voice so much 😍
most beautiful song i’ve ever heard in my life
Just a gem to listen to! Love Your distinctive and so recognizable voice and the beat it's wrapped in!
I wish i was strong enough to cry to this song
man... me too
Saw them live in Miami on this tour. I’ll never forget it. Dreams. Honestly
Loving the new stuff, also one of the best live performers of our time.
Amen. Luckey enough to see them twice last year. Once at Coachella and the other at FYF in LA. Both amazing performances. Seeing LCD days after Prince's death was very deep.
week 2 fam
I can't stop listening to this. It's totally sticky but in a good way. Amazing
somehow reminds me of Twins Peak scene with James singing all the way back then :D Don't know how to feel about that
So glad to be getting new LCD music, waited so long for this
twin peaks-y
i swear to god someone has commented this on every single song on youtube
This is so good i can already picture this song in every tv show😍❤
Just wow ! Pure emotions
I like the music, the beat, and the voice.
This song haunts me for days after I listen to it. It's so consuming and entrancing and I love it.
Davvero emozionante!
James, please never change.
In looooove
This is so beautiful. Pure quality...
Wow! Totally worth the wait. Human League with a heart. Roll on Splendour.
Circus of Death, take a bow :)
So thankful for music..
Discovered you guys on SNL...was blown away......you've got a new fan.
Enter into a nostalgic free fall with this track. That synth takes over your breathing pulse and body. Feeling something deep nerves mellow, skin tingles.
Those first few seconds (before that jarring wave of sound) really completes this song for me. A shame that version is not on spotify.
Never thought I would be hearing new LCD Soundsystem tracks again. Fuck yeah!
i love this song, Tthnks LCD, i live in México, and i travelled 900 kilometers to enjoy the band in Monterrey and everything was great.
