Bye bye Shanghai.
I’ve become a butterfly.
Born-again overnight.
Bye bye Shanghai.
Bye bye my life.
Born-again overnight.
Bright lights up high.
Dark thoughts in my mind.
Born-again overnight.
Bright lights up high.
Grey smog all the time.
Born-again overnight.
Bye bye Shanghai.
I’ve become a butterfly.
Born-again overnight.
Ok, let me my trace my steps.
Pour a drink lets recap the sequence.
One minute, you’re swigging on a green tea, next minute, floating on a pillow in a den.
From there gets a little hazy, like a camera out of focus shaking.
Slow motion in the club free-falling through my seat, hit the floor transforming.
Undergoing complete metamorphous from a moth caterpillar to chrysalis.
Spinning in a silken house like a spider spins a web.
I’m a well known insect.
Bye bye Shanghai.
I’ve become a butterfly.
Born-again overnight.
Bye bye Shanghai.
Bye bye my life.
Born-again overnight.
Bright lights up high.
Dark thoughts in my mind.
Born-again overnight.
Bright lights up high.
Grey smog all the time.
Born-again overnight.
Bye bye Shanghai.
I’ve become a butterfly.
Born-again overnight.
Flying through the Yu garden to the Peoples square.
That’s where you find your happiness
With a little too much Szechuan in the pot sending sensational content.
Neck stuck from looking up at the high rise buildings trying to caress.
Enlightenment through an out of boy experience
You’re thriving in this environment.
Come find me on almost every continent
Coldblooded but I cant stand the antarctic.
Guess I’ve been born again overnight.
Bye bye Shanghai
I’ve become a butterfly Born-again overnight...
Bye bye Shanghai
I’ve become a butterfly Born-again overnight...

Don't tell my fellow Venusians i'm vibing to this shit
have you heard the news from Neptune Neptune Neptune?

Fellow venusian here, I am too.
Don't worry fellow Venusian, I won't tell
The Ambrose verses on this one could soothe an army of roid-raged wrestlers
As it did me, found true peace through music. 💪✌🦋🌈
I think it might be my favourite ambrose vocal of all time!
Never Fight A Man With A Perm
Amo su voz ❤️❤️
My favorite hook on the record.
My cousin Vincent's death was announced August 13th. This is one of the songs he would frequently listen to. I don't expect anyone to see this. But this song means more than any song ever has. I miss you, Vinny.
Rip Vincent. Hope you're okay borgus :)
much love to Vincent hope he became a butterfly
I am so deeply sorry for your loss.
Not sure why the algorithm brought this to me...I see you...what an interesting person your cousin Vinny must have been.
My father passed away on the same date :/ what a dreadful day
Best song on the album. BTW, the chords underneath repeat every 8 beats, but the melody/lyrics above it repeat every 9.5 beats. Super interesting rhythm, it essentially allows you to hear each part of the melody over both chords throughout the whole sequence. I tried playing the melody on a looper and playing chords on top while singing the lyrics along to the melody. It's challenging but super fun I recommend it.
Edit: Javier is right it's 9.5 beats not 10.5
I've tried to mix a few songs from murder of the universe with Nas, it's a challenge.
@@zackpennachi what the fuck?
@@watatum02 he be rite do
@@ayo0702 im with you
@@ayo0702 When the verse starts, start counting out the beats in your head. Note that the measure ends and repeats after 8 beats. Now try and count the singing on its own, you'll notice it takes longer to finish a measure. The more you count along to songs with weird timing the easier it gets.
Can’t wait to see Stu and Ambrose be turned into a butterfly in this video
Can't believe we just witness that. Love it
This album got my chrysalis wiggling
I hate this, but I 100% agree
(richard attenborough voice) "push...Push...C'mon now! yeess..."
😂😂😂 made my chrysalis wet.
is it just me or does ambrose really sound like a butterfly in this
He did didn't he? Especially with that voice
Fuck melon, Shangai slaps, 10/10, best song from the album
Definitely not the best on the album, but he’s definitely an idiot
I reckon Dream is the worst track
Fuck melon
it's actually 19/4
@@mangolollipop_ for me it's the best 🤣
I already decided that this whole album is a 10 well before Fantano gave it a 5.
Fantano shouldn't even be able to hear this goodness
Melon is a hack. On the livestream listen, he was boppin and seemed to love this...then a 5 for the review? OK.
Imagine thinking other people's opinions matter, ESPECIALLY Fantano
@@franlovelsimic8421 That's what I'm saying. Why does his opinion matter, he's just some random dude making videos on RUclips.
@@lucasblanchard6002 If you look at rottentomatoes you'll see no one really cares what critics have to say. Who cares if he's a "professional critic"? I don't think I have ever watched one of his videos so I don't have any skin in the game either way. I'm just saying, be original and think for yourself. No one else knows what is good to you except you. Who cares what some random bald dude on RUclips parrots.
don’t mind me just getting my pineal gland decalcified
Me too! Hahah
What
0:57 - That moment where the beat starts and the two guys are stepping over each other is one of the most perfect visual matchings to sound in a music video EVER! 😄
while delivering pizzas, i came across this after a slew of bad interactions and the regular mental issues i have. i was laughing like a kid throughout the entire album, my brain feels recharged now
Bermy, if u've not, check out some of the ancient philosophies of basic Stoicism - I swear, it helps ppl become more resilient, also.
Yoo I'm sorry. This world can be cruel sometimes. How you doing now?
I DISCOVERED RHIS SONG WHILE DELIVERING PIZZA TOO
It gives me butterflies everytime I listen to it. I hope truely you found your path
I did a fast listen first and it wasn’t connecting, then I smoked and relaxed and it was so chill and beautiful.
always smoke before listening to music, that's my motto!!
Ya took me like a week to actually kinda enjoy this album. I tried listening to it like 5 times and couldn’t do it but then I ate an edible and then I was vibing hard for sure. Still not a huge fan of the album but I can appreciate what they were going for. Just some of the synth leads get annoying after a while for me like dream/blue morpho that synth line bores me to sleep after a while. Its definitely more enjoyable while high as is most music.
Bruh I heard it on the radio and loved it first listen. The whole album won me over instantly. I'm a tame impala fan so this definitely satisfied that whole
@@troubledwaters7441 if I'd do that I'd have to smoke half the day😂Anyways fuck might just do it and go on a king Gizzard/indica bender
Me and the boys throwing absolute shapes
would you look at those polygons
I stg you need to work with Felix Colgrave, It’s a match made in heaven
This. Ultimate.
That's exactly who I thought about watching this
King Gizz x Felix Colgrave video when? it is an absolute must
That'd be peak Australian culture right there
Yessss, I thought about that
Completely out of left field, away from the heavy metal and post punk and all the other types these guys play comes this gem and it's downright beautiful and at times overwhelmingly so.
My bike stays clean thanks to the vibes
Sooooo…. We’re just hanging out here for the next 72 hours or?…
Bye bye Shanghai.
I’ve become a butterfly. Born-again overnight.

When I go to Shanghai I become a butterfly

You are a well know insect if you heard this without seeing the lyrics
It's about opium
@@MichaelWilliams85 opium dens in China? Say it isn’t so!
Plant milkweed to help the monarchs.
Best comment in the thread!. Listen to Frank. Also plant wildflowers native to your area and plant them everywhere!
I just want to say your music has helped me a lot mentally, through a lot of things, I didn't really believe in music therapy until I listened to this album. You guys are a true inspiration to why I still want to make music my self. God bless you goofs.
@Justin Murray music can channel more than just love and more than just love can heal
This is what Kero Kero Bonito would sound like if they had courage, conviction and creativity.
GizLiz dreamt they were butterflies, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes butterflies. They were conscious only of thier happiness as butterflies, unaware that they are GizLiz. Soon they awakened, and there they were, veritably themselves again. Now, they do not know whether they were then GizLiz dreaming they were butterflies, or whether they are now butterflies, dreaming they were GizLiz. Between GizLiz and butterflies there is necessarily a distinction. The transition is called the transformation of material things 🦋💙🦕
Best song of the album
Catching Smoke?
Interior people?
Black Hot Soup?
By far
I loved the whole album, shanghai is really good
This is the best rock band of the past 10 years
No question.
Maybe even more than 10 years, rock music in the whole 21 century is very boring imho.
Its sad that no one else even comes close
@@jmar5203 its sad no one mentions thee oh sees anymore for some reason
@@jmar5203 oh sees is betterrrr

The Ambrose verses really remind me of Jack Stauber and I love it
THATS who it sounds like
a moth landed on my screen and stayed there for the whole vid... i dunno what it means but it was beautiful
Sooooo is that time of the week again, beautiful! Hello gizzheads!
Hello fellow gizzhead, have a good day and don't gizz on the carpet!

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard are an Australian psychedelic rock band that formed in 2010 in Melbourne, Victoria. The band consists of Stu Mackenzie (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, flute), Ambrose Kenny-Smith (vocals, harmonica, keyboards), Cook Craig (guitar, bass, vocals), Joey Walker (guitar, bass, keyboards, vocals), Lucas Skinner (bass, keyboards), and Michael Cavanagh (drums, percussion). They are known for their energetic live shows and prolific recording output, having released two EPs, two live albums and 15 studio albums since their formation.
Their EP and first two albums, Willoughby's Beach (2011), 12 Bar Bruise (2012) and Eyes Like the Sky (2013), primarily blended surf music and garage rock, and were released on the band's independent record label, Flightless, founded by Moore in 2012. Their third to eighth albums-Float Along - Fill Your Lungs (2013), Oddments, I'm in Your Mind Fuzz (2014), Quarters!, Paper Mâché Dream Balloon (2015) and Nonagon Infinity (2016)-expanded their sound, including elements of film music, psychedelic rock, progressive rock, folk, jazz, soul and heavy metal.
In 2017, the band fulfilled a promise to release five studio albums within the year: Flying Microtonal Banana in February; Murder of the Universe in June; Sketches of Brunswick East, a collaboration with Mild High Club, in August; Polygondwanaland, which was released into the public domain, in November; and Gumboot Soup in December. The band released its fourteenth album, Fishing for Fishies, on 26 April 2019, followed by a fifteenth album, Infest the Rats' Nest, released on 16 August that year.
On the 19th of April they released their first feature-length film, concert movie "Chunky Shrapnel". Named after a lyric from the band’s 2017 song Murder Of The Universe, The film combines concert footage from the band’s 2019 European tour with documentary style-filmmaking of King Gizzard behind the scenes. While Chunky Shrapnel does also document the band offstage, the film’s director, Josh Angus Stewart, said that it prioritizes music over personalities.
Chunky Shrapnel was originally set to premiere at Melbourne’s Astor Theatre, before the Australian government closed cinemas nationwide to stem the spread of the coronavirus. The film was eventually released and finally available for 24 hours only on vimeo.
The band members all grew up and went to school in the Deniliquin, Melbourne and Geelong areas. The band started off as a group of friends jamming together, before a mutual friend asked them to play at a show. The band's name was created "last minute". Mackenzie wanted to name the band "Gizzard Gizzard" while another band member wanted Jim Morrison's nickname "Lizard King". They eventually compromised with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. The artist Jason Galea has created all of the band's album art, and a majority of their music videos.
On the 25th of August 2020 it was announced that Eric will no longer be an active member or manager of the band, while promising to keep working with them to put out records in the future.
"I'm a well- known insect." My favourite lyrics ever.
The vibe and color palette this song brings to mind Is something I can’t find anywhere else.
Well said
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
@@grabgrabgrabthegrabor jack stauber maybe
true that@@blind.man.1
@@grabgrabgrabthegrab yes
My favorite song ever made. Randomly played on my Spotify while I was listening to Thundercat and is now easily my favorite song ever. I listen to every genre, you name an artist, I’ve probably listened to an entire album from them. My point? I know a lot of music. This is the holy grail.
And if anyone can recommend anything like it, I’d actually be incredibly grateful, cuz I’ve searched. And I wouldn’t mind if anyone replied with their favorite song as well so I can keep expanding my taste. Music is a journey I love exploring.
By the pound - destroy lonely(similar beats)
@@RexZapp any jack stauber song
@@RexZappGo hear All They Wanted from panchiko. uses a similar effect thats used in this song
this reads like a copypasta
Going to play it louder than 2 skeletons boning on a tin roof
King Gizzy 4 life!! Here since the beginning and loving all the evolutions of the gizzverse. Best rock band of our generation
I have no fucking idea what's happening in this video, but I'm still vibing none the less.
I absolutely love this album, but this is the song that always kept me coming back for more, its so good
That Bass line could cure all your neighbors' COVID depression - blast it !!
That album is pure gold
Bye bye Shanghai I've become a butterfly
I feel like there is some sort of riddle to this song. Like they are laying out clues for us to guess a specific insect.
Glad I saved this gel tab for today
It looks like Cookiedawg and Stu are vibin and playing lots of leapfrog in their spare time
Sounds like MGMT a bit , at times, in a good way, to me
Came down to the comments to see if anyone else thought this! Def MGMT vibes!
You should review albums for pitchfork.
@@davidmarple4422 you have me dead man
dude, I just thought the same thing.
listen to ya love :)
This vid is just 2 versions of cookie dawg fuckin around in nature
I have no idea what that was supposed to be but I still love the song.
YES YES YES YES YES loving the textures in this animation style...SO GOOD. PERFECT!!!
The wind instrument that kicks in at 1:22 is life
Like many of you, I've listened to this record dozens of times already. My favourite KGLW album hands down. Saying that seems impossible, as they have so many brilliant albums, but they just took things to a whole new level. Amazing hooks & melodies here with some truly fascinating musicianship on display. I honestly haven't been this excited about a band's consistently evolving talent in what seems like a lifetime. Bravo!
Finally my nose found some shapes it can relate to.
This acid makes me want to do music.
King gizzard moment:
RUclips mix put Billabong Valley, followed by Gila Monster followed by this.
Can't wait to see the live version of Ambrose singing this one
You boys are doin the most out here. You all are inspirations of mine, your candidness, your transparency, your crazy amounts of creativity, all of it. All of you!
Would love to see your writing or recording process ;)
The combination of the video and this song literally made me cry. It’s perfect. Did that dude just snort shit into his eyeballs? Man I love this song
Ambrose gives me goosies every time I hear his verses. Never fucking fails. So simple but so beautifully done. And by simple I mean not at all.
thankyou KG for this masterpiece.. it's so beautiful - I'm crying
In a perfect world this would be the song of summer '21.
Bro, with K.G. and L.W. took me some listenings to really love them, but with this album i fell in love inmediately.
Less Turkish harmony, more butterflies
This.
Fantastic song and video to boot, cheers mates! Thanks for sharing, keep making great art and let the Gizz vibes flow 🌈
The fact that this isn’t more mainstream is why aliens don’t visit earth
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
@@grabgrabgrabthegrab I’m going to check it out rn. I’ll let you know what I think
@@grabgrabgrabthegrab I’m 40 seconds into the garden and I jam with it. Yeah I think I know a singular friend who’s like me and will appreciate it. Next time I see him I’ll share it with him
on monday, he ate through one apple.
but he was still hungry.
This song has reignited my already huge love of this band ❤️
Just another reason to feed into my addiction to this song and give it another listen.
this song helped me get through it. thank you for that. i cannot properly describe the emotional impact this has had on me
Hopefully you can come to the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary Biosphere Reserve in Mexico. 🇲🇽🦋They would like it very much. ❤️❤️
SO GOOD. Can't wait to see the rest of 'em!
Me and the boys using our eye vacuums to hoover up every butterfly on Earth
This animation is so fun.... awesome job by band and animator... I'm impressed :)
Just dropping a note to appreciate this fantastic, joyful, artistic animation, thank you Amanda Bonaiuto! (No need to write about the music… it's King Gizzard, 'nuff said.)
Anyone else notice this melody appears towards the end of Interior People, just in a different key?
They reference a bunch of different melodies throughout the album, like a time warp of familiarity but something just isn't right.
Can't wait
I'm not eating or sleeping until this starts
As I am too
Hey, how you doing? You alive??
I'll be doing better when this video starts
You still holding up?
I have been reborn
I freaking love the synth on this track. Reminds me of a Baldwin Orgasonic Re-it.
fave from the album, can’t stop listening to it :-)
your music never fail in stealing my mind's attention and replacing my worries. 👍
this is probally the best band ive discovered in a long fucking while
I just love the vocals on this album
What a cool video, love seeing gizzard support the arts
Thank you King Gizzard, I didn't know you, nor even how I needed your Butterfly 3000 release, happiness is mostly a choice.
I love this band so much, my favorite "new" band to emerge since Phish!!!
Excited for animated!! Hope we get a Jason animation for this album too ;)
Perched on a leaf out in the valley, sun shining, havin' a lil jig with my dainty lil legs. Life is good.
Amby’s vocals are awesome
Very trippy. Liking the music as always. The animation was nice with a hint of danger lurking but never happening....I guess that's my pessimistic mind haha cheers ~
The music video really reminds me of some of Jack Stauber's early work (2013-2016), as well as Hylics 2 in some bits.
Hylics give me gizzverse vibes
Are you sure that you're not a butterfly dreaming of a man?
This song is a banger
My favorite song of the album
I'm listening to this after several rounds of shots and it hits me right in the sweat spot
Hello Shanghai ive become a butterfly
How do they come up with so many diverse Songs and still keep the own touch to it?! Its a bit weird but i love it! Cant wait to finally see you in Germany! ( I missed your shows 3 years in a row..)
Amanda Bonaiuto take a fucking bow. Incredible.
So glad you guys are doing this
Someone took a heroic dose of acid to come up with this.. love it
Saw your show in Shanghai! best show id been to in a LONG time!
what in the acid trip was this video.
this song got me through a rough point in my life. i absolutely adore this song
