Why do I love this now ?? I used to think it wasn’t an interesting song, and coming back to it now made me realize how good it actually is. My god that’s amazing !
Oooo me too!! When I went to MGMT fandom two years ago, I knew Flash Delirium existed and all, but didn't listened/liked too much. Now I'm listening to this like eVERY DAY??? This song is epic, that's it!!!!
LYRICS Mild apprehension Blank dreams of the coming fun Distort the odds of a turnaround Gut screams out next to none So turn it on Tune it in And stay inert You say "I've got the backbone" The back way to escape the gun Climbing a tree with a missing limb And not saving anyone And now it hurts To stay at home And see Flash The mirror ball's throwing mold You can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold See the flash catch a white lily laugh and wilt But if you must smash a glass first fill it to the hilt Plants As far as I know are still Still bending toward the light And if we dance Until the heart explodes It'll make this place ignite And even if this hall collapses I can stand by my pillar of hope it's just A case of flash delirium Here's a growing culture Deep inside a corpse Ages stuck together Takin' it to the source Timeless desperation Pictures on a screen scream "Hey people, what does it mean?" Comfort keeps us nice So quick to donate everything (nothing arrives) Die wolken drifting blinding smiles circling (einkreisen) And time's tingling spines Attaching hands to floor The rosy-tinted flash The hot dog's getting cold And you'll never be as good as the Rolling Stones Watch the birds in the airport gathering dirt Crowd the clean magazine chick lifting up her skirt (Why close one eye and try to Pledge allegiance to the sun When plastic ghosts start terrorizing everyone Geometric troops aligning Carried up to the burial mounds My earthbound heart is heavy Your heartbeat keeps things light Like the violence forever threatening the night And even if this hall collapses I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust) Lines when I close my eyes and just Aim blindly at the sun And hear love When the ghosts start singing terrorizing everyone Geometric troops aligning Carried up to the burial mounds with gold It's a heavy load but your You rhythm makes it light and explode Like a violent star keeps threatening the night And even if this hall collapses I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust That our heads won't bust Sixty six fifty five red battleships Forty earth-like planets Three holes two tits One fork in its side Zero tears in their eyes Sue the spiders Sink the Welsh Stab your Facebook Sell sell sell Undercooked Overdone Mass adulation not so funny Poisoned honey Pseudo science Silly money You're my honey
I’m late to this party, I had no idea how incredible these guys are. Just starting listening to them last week. Haven’t been this inspired by a band in years! Unbelievable performance, and yes, I have a man crush on Andrew.
how can this seem like so much passion? Go watch Queen live, or ACDC live. Thats passion. This is just playing good music and its fun. The song is passionate but not really the performance in my opinion.
People show their passion in a different way. If I was to judge Andrew on his general body language, I'd say he's a pretty introverted character and has a different way of expressing passion. For me he is very passionate about his song, I reckon he thinks it's some of his best work.
Andrew is so perfect in this, I mean, they all are, but I'm freeze framing all of Andrew's expressions, and when those gorgeous eyes open up, it's overwhelming. I watch this video daily. He is comperably gorgeous in the video mgmt live at bataclan, paris. Just beautiful
..This song and { Isolation by The Impures ) are some of the only things getting me through the beginning of 2022. Times may be tough but everything going to be okay in the end. I hope everyone is doing well.vvvv
I was waiting so patiently for the amazing ending, he fucking nailed it
he sure did that was so good in my opinion better then the original
I can never get enough of the ending!
He only missed that little giggle at the very end. Otherwise PERFECT!
I was waiting for the other guy's throat to open, was disappointed
"he" hes?
who else listens to this constantly
Bryan Phillips me
Literally me.
Helps me to feel extra alive throughout any part of the day. Too good!
I gotta stop.or im gonna break the replay button
One of my favorite videos. Luv his expressions!
favorite Andrew hair haha
So 2008
Everyone in this comments talking about hot Andrew well, I'm just wondering if the drums and guitar players are twins
I ask this question all the time lmaooo. I should stop being lazy and just Google it💀💀
They are in a way
nope, James Richardson [guitar] and Will Berman [drums] are not blood related far as I know
@@VikenxRocker Well not in the sense of their skin suit, but under their silken veal veil they are brothers.
@@ubivermiscerritulus195 I think I'm missing the reference or the joke, damn
the guitar sounds of MGMT, especially on Congratulations, do not get anywhere near as much attention as they should. they're so underrated!!
Fucking truth
I must agree
the best phase of Andrew! = P
Why do I love this now ?? I used to think it wasn’t an interesting song, and coming back to it now made me realize how good it actually is. My god that’s amazing !
I RESPECT this comment !!
Winter Wonderland
Ive given albums several listens typically. some music seriously grows on me others never pick up steam in my mind.
It is such an underrated song. One decade of listening to it over and over again and still not tired of it.
Oooo me too!! When I went to MGMT fandom two years ago, I knew Flash Delirium existed and all, but didn't listened/liked too much. Now I'm listening to this like eVERY DAY??? This song is epic, that's it!!!!
@@beadickel same holy shit. What is it with this song
the fact that the drummer is able to do backing vocals while playing makes it even more awesome
Probably the best MGMT live performance
TV performance, quite possibly. That live on letterman performance is unreal doe
@@Rubberfooted Yeah, even their KCRW performance from 2010 is great
@Time Drain I've gotta check that out then
“And you can’t get a grip if there’s nothing to hold”
how can a human look that cute tho...
TheYayoii white genes
Battleborn please don’t call POC “colored people” lol. It’s not a nice term.
isn't that assuming battleborn is white or something
Battleborn, Gabriel was obviously making a joke... I feel stupid for even explaining this.
As you should...
3:06 onwards left me speechless
That about sums it up right there.
Oh, you heard that too? LMAO
yeah, this specific part alone makes it my favorite song off the album
same my fav part of the song its a shame that didnt go on for longer
Fuck I am shocked how good he did the end part, he should have more songs with that style in em.
01:41 Watch out!! that laptop is about to fall!
The ending just gets me so pumped!
LYRICS
Mild apprehension
Blank dreams of the coming fun
Distort the odds of a turnaround
Gut screams out next to none
So turn it on
Tune it in
And stay inert
You say "I've got the backbone"
The back way to escape the gun
Climbing a tree with a missing limb
And not saving anyone
And now it hurts
To stay at home
And see
Flash
The mirror ball's throwing mold
You can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold
See the flash catch a white lily laugh and wilt
But if you must smash a glass first fill it to the hilt
Plants
As far as I know are still
Still bending toward the light
And if we dance
Until the heart explodes
It'll make this place ignite
And even if this hall collapses
I can stand by my pillar of hope it's just
A case of flash delirium
Here's a growing culture
Deep inside a corpse
Ages stuck together
Takin' it to the source
Timeless desperation
Pictures on a screen scream
"Hey people, what does it mean?"
Comfort keeps us nice
So quick to donate everything (nothing arrives)
Die wolken drifting blinding smiles circling (einkreisen)
And time's tingling spines
Attaching hands to floor
The rosy-tinted flash
The hot dog's getting cold
And you'll never be as good as the Rolling Stones
Watch the birds in the airport gathering dirt
Crowd the clean magazine chick lifting up her skirt
(Why close one eye and try to
Pledge allegiance to the sun
When plastic ghosts start terrorizing everyone
Geometric troops aligning
Carried up to the burial mounds
My earthbound heart is heavy
Your heartbeat keeps things light
Like the violence forever threatening the night
And even if this hall collapses
I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust)
Lines when I close my eyes and just
Aim blindly at the sun
And hear love
When the ghosts start singing terrorizing everyone
Geometric troops aligning
Carried up to the burial mounds with gold
It's a heavy load but your
You rhythm makes it light and explode
Like a violent star keeps threatening the night
And even if this hall collapses
I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust
That our heads won't bust
Sixty six fifty five red battleships
Forty earth-like planets
Three holes two tits
One fork in its side
Zero tears in their eyes
Sue the spiders
Sink the Welsh
Stab your Facebook
Sell sell sell
Undercooked
Overdone
Mass adulation not so funny
Poisoned honey
Pseudo science
Silly money
You're my honey
how do they come up with these lyrics?! so good.
You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar
i swear i can never tell if he says “it’s a heavy time with your” or “heavy load”
It is one of my favorite songs in life. I am 43 and very few people my age value these kids. super creative and genuine
These kids are like 35 man lol
@@AndresSanchez-pp3hoAndrew turned 40 this year
bro what kids, y’all are the same age
bro what kids, y’all are the same age
I said "kids" because they were "kids" when they made this music!@@AndresSanchez-pp3ho
I fucking love this song
I’m late to this party, I had no idea how incredible these guys are. Just starting listening to them last week. Haven’t been this inspired by a band in years! Unbelievable performance, and yes, I have a man crush on Andrew.
Every part of this song is so good, words can’t even describe it
As Lady Gaga once said “Talented, brilliant, amazing, show stopping...”
AMAZING! SO much passion! Loved Andrew's attire. Killed it!

This has aged so well, career defining and legendary performance, crazy it has so little views!
Damn mgmt rocks so hard
Andrew is a beautiful human being
That. was. fucking. class. This might be one of my favourite videos on CZcams.
as far as I'm concerned, this is their masterpiece.
That deserved a standing ovation. GET THE FUCK UP OUTTA YER SEATS PEOPLE
Like a violent star keeps threatening the night
This is such a happy band.. they enjoy themselves and what they do
Ben Goldwasser doin it sick!!!!
WOO!
He's groovin
Es uno de mis temas favoritos de la vida. Tengo 43 y muy poca gente de mi edad los valora a estos pibes. Super creativos y genuinos
the DRUMS SOUND SO NICE THIS IS SUCH A GOOD PERFORMANCE
Andrew is so perfect in this, I mean, they all are, but I'm freeze framing all of Andrew's expressions, and when those gorgeous eyes open up, it's overwhelming. I watch this video daily. He is comperably gorgeous in the video mgmt live at bataclan, paris. Just beautiful
Ugh i come back to this day and night loving how someone can sound just as good as the music they produce on vinyl and social media
thank you for uploading a non-laggy version of this performance. one of my favourite lives of "Flash Delirium"
Esta canción definitivamente es para escucharla entera al no ser repetitiva, hasta el final transiciona, Espectacular.
Es un vicio el final
@@urs2036 la neta sí
Still my favorite MGMT song ❤️
i love how wild james is going in the end
Just wow... never did I imagine this could be played live
Damnnnnnn
Are you kidding...how can someone be this attractive?
Its crazy how much backlash they got at the time they put this out,i feel its absolutely one of the finest songs.
freaking beautiful omggggggggg
Cool song. It feels like their initial goal was to go from the quietest sound possible to the loudest by the very end.
I imagine this isn't the easiest song to play live and these guys nailed in spades.
The people in the crowd must have had their mind blown after this performance, its crazy how good it is
Flaaaaaash
This is perfection. Great job guys. ❤
Me enamoré de esta banda, que geniales son en vivo 😍
Thank you for sharing!!
And we need some more MGMT asap!💜💜💜
4:05 sounds/looks like he's howling
They sound amazing here!!!!
That was beautiful. 😍
Best live MGMT I've ever heard..
James is on his own planet in this video
I love you Andrew! You are so perfect...
LA MEJOR BANDA DE POP PSYCODELICO!!!!!
Martin Ramos Barragan si
This already is a classic. Great song, great performance!
Amo todas las caras que hace
claudia s 04:05
What they did to Ben's keyboard volume is criminal
One of my dreams is to see them perform this if literally cry
Beautiful guitars

I like how this video loops almost perfectly
