If not now, then when?
When the forest’s nearly gone.
When the hole’s in the ozone.
When the bees are gone.
If not now, then when?
When the ocean’s coming up.
When the rain just won’t stop.
when the fire’s burning.
If not now, then when?
If not now, then when?
When big pharma’s rippin’ me.
When my data’s tracking me.
When my phone is spying.
If not now, then when?
When my choice is monitored.
When computers are cleverer.
When our food is poison.
If not now, then…
This is an emergency.
Need to act more quickly.
This is no quandary.
This is an emergency.
This is an emergency.
Need to act more quickly.
This is no quandary.
This is an emergency.
When the oceans turn to black.
When the animals are dead.
When the birds are gone.
If not now, then when?
When the blue sky turns into black.
When Gaia hangs by a thread.
When all the people die.
If not now, then when? - Hudba
I fully expect king gizzard to go radio silent for five years then release fifty albums in one day
Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if that happened
The most Gizz thing that would happen.
they wouldn't even go radio silent, they'd just decrease the release frequency to """measly""" one album per year
@@RADZIO895And yet all of them would still at the very least be good, if not great.
@RADZIO895 a paltry single Long Play..how disgusting. Don't you put that evil out there 😂
Me: driving around Brunswick listening to king gizz
Spotify: you listened to 419 genres this year including 348 new ones
419??? really?? dude common that's mean, just say 420
EXACTLY!
why is this so real
@@vinicius99157 We were on the verge of greatness.... We were this close!
Wow you’re so diverse 😐
A while ago I found myself doubting whether Gizz were still great. That was a pretty crazy week, but I'm all good again now.
You're not so bad to listen to yourself Doc. Thanks for the stories!
😀czcams.com/video/ZTeU2ZXBgbo/video.html
Like you didn't appreciate "K.G."? that is too bad man. Intrasport is S-tier gizz
@@666Nastyman666 I think A tier
how fucking dare you
In the past few years, KG went from lyrically writing about lore based apocalypses to writing about the one happening in front of our faces.
Just stumbled on this vid. What tracks are you referring to as “lore based apocalypses”?
I’d be very interested to listen to those
@@SneakyDecoy72 their album ‘Murder of the Universe’ is a concept album that explores three different wild apocalyptic futures. They also have the newer album ‘infest the rats nest’ that’s more grounded where a near future human civilization is on the brink of collapse. All their albums are good tho
@@theawesomeboy8888 cool I’ve been listening to KG for the last week. Looking forward to chucking these out.
@@SneakyDecoy72 pretty much all of gizz is good, but some of their best is nonagon infinity and polygondwanaland
@@SneakyDecoy72 I'm not particularly crazy about Murder of the Universe or Infest the Rat's nest. But the great thing about this band is that their catalogue has such variety (and their releases are so frequent) that if you ask any number of fans for a list of top 5 albums, I doubt you'll ever get the same list. Although I'd agree that Polygondwanaland and Nonagon Infinity are up there. And if you like this track, I'd also recommend K.G. (the predecessor to this album) and Flying Microtonal Banana (the thematic, if not chronological, predecessor to K.G.) very highly.
King gizzard is the only band that can release an album and then have a new single within the next month and I won’t question it
remember when they dropped planet b before even releasing fishies
I am also generally happy when the Osees do that. I think that both bands create some kind of Psychedelic Sonic Universe that are GREAT places to go exploring. Viva Gizz! Viva Osees!
@Fintan Glackin doesnt need to be competition, both are amazing!
+osees
They’re relentless 😂
The first thing the hole eats is a joint then it ends up eating everything else because it has the munchies
Gizz-Weed confirmed?
@@funcrushed that's been confirmed since the start
@@5122sandman yup guys I heard someone died after injecting 4-marijuanas that shit is dangerous it killed so many people and has no medical potential.
@@5122sandman gonna do the weed
esmun i love you most i love you 3 times mm
It gives me The Midnight Gospel vibes. I love it!
That bar change during the first minute or so of the song is one of the coolest transitions of all time. It's like two different genres perfectly blended.
this song manages to sound like 2020's electronica and 70's funk at the same time
And I also hear a Prog influence. A bit of Gentle Giant.
I was hearing some major Motown vibes in the keys and bass. Good stuff!
And Psych Rock too
Let's not forget the most important thing: microtonality.
Psych prog funky electronica just how do they do it. I love how they always just keeping stretching the boundaries of their work every single time. It’s something a band has never done often, even the butterfly 3001 and all the remixes
Me: Chill song yaaaaa so cool love it, letmme check the lyrics
The Lyrics: hello, the world is shit we are all doomed
Mundane bloodstain
That describes like half of their discography
That's Gizz for ya.
@@LosTomsPsychRock Ah I disagree. Love it but I don’t think the tune of it sounds happy at all - it sounds mournful and minor
@@dmcgo3 More like 98% of their discography. Doomsday band with incredible musicianship, open eyes, and the ability to master every sound in music.
i love how the music video reflects the themes of the song
- main character discovers something and starts using it for fun/to her advantage
- she sees how harmful it can be to others
- even when she tries throwing it away, it still continues to destroy things
- eventually the whole world is destroyed
really love the song, and really love the music video as well!
For another take on the theme of the inescapable doodad, see "The Bottle Imp," by Robert Louis Stevenson.
I still cannot believe both the chemistry and musicianship of this band.
I will listen as long as I live.
It’s been so long since the last King Gizzard album, I’ve been waiting for this
Right they sure kept us waiting a long time
All of 5 minutes.
I know. If they don't drop a new one in a completely new genre every 2 hours, I do get worried about if everything is okay at Flightless HQ!
Everyone could do with a little more gizz in their ears this New Year's Word, Peace!
😀czcams.com/video/ZTeU2ZXBgbo/video.html
It’s a good song if the gator makes an appearance
Isn't that...a lizard?
Yes, that was a new lizardy friend 🦎
me?
that’s gotta be the LW
A gators tongue can’t extend that long, it’s a created geck from the looks
I can’t even begin to describe how good this is!! How many musical barriers are being broken! I love you guys for always pushing the envelope!!
Srsly tho, besides all the joke we should appreciate the amazing song they put together. This one is really amazing.
Erm 50 years ago...
czcams.com/video/uzBlQAqILK0/video.html
Bruh this is trash ngl
I'm not gonna lie, this just came up in my CZcams recommendation and now I'm so happy for it
hope you’ve been liking KGLW
This band literally cannot be stopped from releasing bangers, the very last event before the universe ends will be a King Gizzard album drop.
if you pick a random occurence, its likely the very last event before that was a kglw album drop because they release a new album like every other day

Last thing to happen before Han-Tyumi vomits the universe dead is an ultimate virtual King Gizzard release
King Gizzard albums will be the Death of the Universe as it collapses under their combined gravitational masses...
best gizz song in weeks
Not a fan of this band, but the comments under all their songs are just so contagiously positive. Makes me so happy to see how much people like them.
Edit: scratch that, I am a fan of this band
:-)
Hahaha this was me too! Went to their show at the Greek theater a few weeks ago and my life has been changed
hell yeah
@@refoliation8 days ago, holyshit whatsup
Welcome. It took me a while
Just found these guys, and I feel like this is a band I really need to experience live
If I'm not mistaken there performing at Coachella
@@phoenixmilburn8759 I could never… afford or be cool enough to attend Coachella
you absolutely do. I went from a new fan to a die-hard after seeing them in Pomona. Absolutely electric live. Great fans too.
Friendship ended with turkish house music now this is a new thing.
whatever this thing is, as long as its not outside and waterlogged
@@jjjjjjjjj3000 I'm destabilized.
Even this has some Anatolian rock vibe.
This is madness!
@Nathan DF Any Turkish house music recommendations?
holy shit Hungry Wolf transitions into this L.W. album confirmed
I see, I laugh, I think "Ha ha funny meme KG galaxy brain". I skip to end of Wolf song, I hear wooshes, I start video again, I hear wooshes. I cry, it was real all along, Gizzverse confirmed.
holeee fuk
Also they’re is some stylistic crossover between the two with the more instrumental in the mix and quieter vocals
go away JOE
@@chris4164 I see you on the sub lol.
King gizzard is so cool I wish air was real
I CANNOT DESCRIBE WITH WORDS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU KING GIZZARD!!!!
Person gets absorbed by black hole
Stu: *_WOOOHH_*
Holy shit I couldnt survive another week without more
Yo a Tool fan wussup
@@galielkarmi995 you would think they would be used to delays between releases
A fellow man of culture I see
@@Nachtopus hello good sir
That was the most existential game of Katamari I've ever seen.
This song is about why you likely won't be getting to see these guys play live anytime soon. If we all keep poisoning the planet people then what do you expect?

Boosting this comment. You do the lord's work
Thank you. The lyrics need to be seen
So great ! Actually conscious musician! Endangered species ahhh
I wonder about these same themes daily. I do my work, consume the necessary, recycle, compost. But oceans rise and now empires fall, when the fuck will people care about this? If not now (or 50 years ago) then when?
Gracias
I never thought King Gizz tunes playing along to Adventure Time style animation was what I needed in life, yet here I am.
Somewhere, there's a universe out there where the gizzboys actually made music for Adventure Time and I am _deeply_ saddened that we aren't in it.
@@koolaid4991 same !
@@koolaid4991 What an Amazing idea - we need them to cover the Outro song immediately!! and knowing gizz they would cover it in 14 genres as a medley and it would be a full 50 min Floydian style album LOL OH shit the more i think about it..................
Way more like Midnight Gospel imo
The animation is gay but I won’t hold it against them.
Can't wait to see this on a "GET HIGH AND WATCH THIS 100% WEED/MUSHROOMS" Playlist on CZcams.
1:50 sends me in a haze every listen. stoked for the new stuff
really reminds me of netflix's the midnight gospel
Yesss!! 🤩
Or Kipo!!
Totally got that vibe too!
yeah I was gonna say either that or adventure time distant lands. very strange.
All of this decade's animation looks the same
I didn't sleep for this
Edit: And now after reading the lyrics, I can't sleep
goodnight c:
@@jjjjjjjjj3000 Can you give it to them, Frodo?
1:58 NOOOOO THE LIZARD WIZARD
Fucking hell. What a band
this song is when u high but ur brain keep thinking about how actually world going.
That’s the only time I think about that
Listen to human sadness and lmk what you think
@@AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH thats sad
What
lyrically in Infest the Rats' Nest, musically in between of sketches of Brunswick East and FMB.....WOOOOOOO
Idk, to me this sounds like something completely brand new again. Simutaneously familiar but also strange and alien
and Hungry Wolf of Fate leads right into this song
@@El-Burrito I was hoping there’d be a part 2 to the album!
@UCZEQVt5QocpeCxSm4opaJZQ sketches is a great album
@@queenpurple8433 Wouldn't it be part 3 since K.G. was the part 2 to FMB?
Been digging this song for the last year or so, is now no.1 on my 'Put a smile on your dial' playlist!🤪
3:51 THERE HE IS, AFTER ALL THIS TIME WEVE FINALLY FOUND THE LIZARD WIZARD!!!!
MAYBE THE SONG LORE IS LIKE WHATS GOING ON IN HAN TYUMI/THE WEARY TRAVELLERS MIND AS THEY MURDER THE UNIVERSE AND BECOME GOD LIKE IN THE BOOK ON SKETCHES OF BRUNSWICK EAST
GIZZVERSE CONFIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRMED
Infest the Flying Microtonal Sketch of Brunswick East
Served in a Nonagon Infinity.
Sketch of Flying Rats
While fishing ofc
Eyes like the Paper Mache Gumbootwanaland
Sketch Of Infest The Fliying Rats
Hungry wolf goes perfectly into this lol
Can confirm
First song I ever heard by them. Man this song is just killer, now I gotta listen to their other songs
Kglw's lyrics for their first albums: hahaha cellophane and stuff Kglw's Lyrics from their latter albums: we're all going to die actually
And then she woke up in the back alley and realised her weed was way too strong.
Hey scoob? I don’t think this is weed anymore
@@matt_neo Yeah, i got some real strong weed here, but it never do that.
laced with salvia it seems
GOBBLESS BROTHER, A MAN WIHT NO GUMMIES IS DUMB HOSS!
more like laced XD
can we talk about how gorgeous that animation is
yes, we can. but i don’t want to
No. I forbid you
actually we can not
I certainly don’t
We sure can.
One day, a guy with a super common name was wandering around CZcams when suddenly he fell into a technicolor rabbit hole. As he looked around in wonderment of what surrounded him, he realized that for the first time, not only was he alive, but CZcams had finally dropped a nugget of gold in his lap.
That guy's name?
Mike Scott.
Congratulations man, theres a lot to see/hear :D
Honestly. Fav song from these guys. Been the opening track on my “singles and ep’s” playlist since it came out.
Hope there’s more like this.🤞
All of this could have been avoided if she just stayed and enjoyed the king gizzard concert
that kid is absorbing the whole gizzverse
The entire multi-jizzverse
GLIZZZYY
I grow and disperse
Bleeding through walls
I force myself upon others
I slide up legs and crawl down throats
I integrate
I am double
Triple
I am ten times the size
She's obviously Han-tyumi
Its a metaphor for humanity, I cba to explain again but simple good intentions can corrupt massively
Just realized that at 2:42 the word ONE is sucked into her hand. Cool nod to the next track
it says OWE 🤔
Love this song, animation, theme, everything is so good man
Baked beans would go nicely with this
only the beans missing for me
@@monoamin_ mint
are beans pasta sauce? they're tomatoey..
@@self-transforming_machine-elf I'd hate to call you a racist at my dinner party

it was less then a month
@@rebelrebel8398 way too long..
@@rebelrebel8398 that is the joke
😀czcams.com/video/ZTeU2ZXBgbo/video.html
I can't get enough of this song! As depressing as the lyrics are it's just so great
"Are you content in becoming nothing, or will you wait and see if you are something?" Compiled into one big acid trip
Well put lol.
Strangers call her Kenny
Hot DAMN this took a TURN. Gave me chills. Heard the intro and sounded like it was going to drop into a rock jam but got ganked into Oblivion instead. Killin it Gizz 🤘🤘
chills=truth
1:32 ; this remind me of Miroku skill in Inuyasha!
i was looking for this comment!
Quarter tones sounding awesome as always
People saw a teaser
"gonna be some lofi beats relax/study
KGLW
"there's no time to relax, take this"
I guess this is what the sequel to Murder of the Universe looks like, thanks guys!
This IS murder of the universe in it's own though
I'm feeling those Midnight Gospel vibes
Same it's awesome
was searching for this comment
Dude you right
Same
Great stuff. Always getting better.
Is this easy listening adult contemporary mumble that lucas said?
this was what i wanted when i heard the some of us outro
She murdered the universe
Nah she just greened out. Probably wake up next morning with an icky mouth, an empty fridge, and a missing car.
These guys are incredible. I get the feeling they are so good and so prolific because they have the right attitude to music. It’s meant to be fun. It’s not meant to be taken too seriously and worried over. Which doesn’t mean it isn’t important or great. It isn’t meant to be about career or posing or trying to be anyone else. It is literally meant to be playing. I suspect they have that locked in, and then the jams just flow from there.
Big respect to these guys.
big respect to this post
This, this comment right here....
Deserves an award for spitting FACTS, music is about the music and how it makes you feel, always has been. :) keep feeling good guys we need it now more than ever
The lyrics are about the end of the world lmao.
Idk why but this song it reminds me a unknow mortal orchestra 😮
Me too. I think its the vocal delivery and the style of the music video. Some of the synths are pretty similar too.
For me the drums and drum mix are very UMO esque
I'm waiting for my girlfriend to come into the room so we can listen together, so I'm going through all the comments first and this comment pleases me highly!
Absolutely I could hear this on multi love the drum sound is similar in a good way obviously
King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard Animated TV Show when?
Right after the nonagon movie is released
If not now.. Then when?
Something has "arrived" in this video and song. Perfect pop psychedelia.
We need to send this song into space so whoever finds the ruins of earth will know some people tried.
Holy shit, that was quick.
Steven Universe x Adventure Time x Tiny Tim X Lizard - Type Beat
"Damn! I just killed an animal with a magical item! I guess that means it's time to rub this murder-item against my best friend... OH NO!!!!"
I've listened to this song 100 times, and each time, I interpret a new lyric or hear some nuance in the instruments. This song is so good
so this is the first track of L.W. (based on the wind sound at the start continuing from Hungry Wolf
man it's been days since the last album, thought you guys were dead for sure.
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard definitely make music.
Always amazing! Great band, great music with a good sense of humour, it´s not easy
Never tought king gizzard would have a clip like this one day
these guys will pump out like 3 more albums in the next 3 months. the GIZZVERSE does not stop expanding. entropy cannot stop them.
King Gizz cant disappoint,everything is fire
Love it, reminds me a little of Midnight Gospel
I was about to make this same comment, but apparently I already did 6 months ago...
La letra es maravillosa, el ritmo hermoso, te quiero rey molleja.
hay que darle amor también al lagarto mago :3
Si
yea comunidad hispanohablante
Si si jajajaja
Que viva el Mago Lagarto!!
Oh of course, the next direction you're heading in is minimalist microtonal jazz
I expected nothing less
EDIT: After receiving much constructive criticism, I surrender. This song is in no way minimalism or jazz. It's clearly post-avant skacore
i'm expecting a 52- microtone minimalist fusion jazz techno album for 2021
@@ellejendario97 That's exactly what we all want
@@ellejendario97 Please god that might just make up for this trash fire of a year
everybody doubted me, everybody said the were going heavier, principally after rat's nest, but I said
man, it's king gizz
Sorry man but this has nothing to do with Jazz
This is a band that truly loves making music and it speaks for itself 💦✨
I ordered this album and 3000 butterflies album was released by the time it came from ausieland
I don't know the animator of this masterpiece, but the animation reminds me a lot Midnight Gospel.
Sick, everything they do is sick! Unique maniacs! One of the greatest bands!
Okay. They give us K.G. which is badass. And two weeks later this song who's a masterpiece. I love these guys ❤
Wooow this is awesome!!
I imagine the moment when the guys in King Gizzard all thought, “you know what’s wrong with music? Not enough notes.”
If you’re talking about microtones then king gizz didn’t invent them lmao
:0 These lyrics are a sign for me to start studying for finals week. Goodluck to everyone on their finals
KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD : MOST FUN BAND IN THE WORLD!!!
Song literally has me crying....
@@chinito398 Fun!
idk how many time it's been I'm watching this. After watching these many times I think I can understand this. How a girl's feeling of so much emptiness, like a void, a black hole, is consuming everything, everything she hated. She was OK with it unless it started to consume everything she didn't hate, what made her scared of it. Then it started to consume all the things she loved and then she became fraustrated.
In the end... she herself is consumed by that blackhole, emptiness or void whatever. Eventually it grew stronger each time but she didn't realize the emergency of the situation at first.
yep can make sense with the animation but the lyrics seems more are about environnemental and technological emergency
@@huzrokhayzur2197 that also might be an explanation.
I still can't believe they released such a chill album 1 year after Infest the Rats Nest
This song is all kinds of groovy holy hell
Where's the woo?
2:35
Ahhh, that's the stuff.
Absolutely amazing lads, never could've expected this even from the kings of surprise
happy 3 year anniversary to this gem of a track!
