you also know it's a good song when you accidentally forgot it existed for like 4 years but somehow still know most of the words (true for the whole album actually).
I can't put into words how this song makes me feel. It ranges from a nostalgic hope, to a romantic sadness. It's truly one of a kind, and I can't stop listening to it.
I'm just leaving this comment here. So that a month, a year, or a decade down the line if someone likes or comments on this thread, I can relive this song. Timeless..
For anyone who may be interested, the album art is based on the Bronze Head of Augustus excavated in 1910 from the archaeological site of Meroe City in what is now Sudan (Africa). Meroe City was the capital of the Meroitic Kingdom that occupied the territory of modern Sudan c.300 BCE - 350 CE (around 2000 years ago). The head is a representation of Augustus (Rome's first emperor reigned 27 BCE - 14 CE) and is generally thought to have belonged to a complete statue set up in southern Egypt (Aswan). At this time (the late 1st century BCE), Egypt had just been annexed by the Roman Empire who, in the 20s BCE, made moves to expand into the Meroitic Kingdom south of Egypt. Evidently, this was not to the liking of the Meroitic people who, so the story goes (Pliny the Elder, Strabo, Dio Cassius - all classical sources), promptly invaded Aswan, tore the statue down, and took the bronze head back to their capital (Meroe). Around 1900 years later it was excavated by the then professor of Egyptology at Liverpool University (John Garstang, UK) and, shortly afterwards, acquired by the British Museum where it is now on display. It is a spectacular example of Early Roman bronze sculpture and an interesting case study for considering Rome's interactions with Africa beyond Egypt.

Did you stumble upon this video with all that knowledge at the ready, or was it the video that made you want to look it up? Either way it's fascinating stuff!
@@VictorHarderHesel Thank you! I am just finishing a PhD on the subject. Truth be told, I had never heard of Electric Guest - I just saw the thumbnail by chance and recognised the head. I had no idea that so many people would be interested. It is very gratifying.
@@ComplainingHenry Thank you so much, I feel like I've reconnected with a part of myself because you've allowed me to recall wonderful memories when I was a kid passionate by Rome. Such dedication to knowledge should always be appreciated :) Kind regards
Once upon a time, there was a young girl who possessed the bohemian spirit. She was free-spirited and unafraid to explore the world around her. As she grew older, she gained wisdom and became a beacon of light for those around her. In the cold, bright dawn, we watched her mature and blossom into a beautiful woman. During the season when the river was high, I walked alone on the gray stone, with my heart following the shadow she made. I chased her like a dull sky day, hoping to bask in the warmth of her presence once again. Although I was still in love with the way she was, it was a long way from what had become of us. She had gotten bad for me, playing the only game she knew how to play. So I turned the other way, hoping to fix things before they broke beyond repair. But as she grew up and wore a new color, I realized that the girl I once knew had become rehearsed and well-practiced in her ways. I filled my cup with her new persona, but it was all just a façade. Suddenly, I broke the spell she had cast over me, and she got bad for me once again. But this time, it was different. I was dealing with a Troubleman, who wished everything away with a gun in hand. He had found a new path today, but I knew nothing about it. His faith was long gone in a foreign land where the sea was made of stone. The Troubleman and I used to shake the dead and sail ships unmanned, but now the rain was just ahead, and I knew nothing about where he was headed. Troubleman was just an empty name to me, and I was left to try to fix things before they broke beyond repair. Then it was gone, and I had to go on, as did we all.
I was in my freshmen year in college, doing my very first assignment and this song just pops up in the autoplay. The song sent a chill down my spine so I stopped for a moment and just enjoy the music with my exhausted mind. For the whole semester I played the song everytime I'm doing my work at my place because of the pandemic. Some times later I just forgot about the song, only until today, I'm doing my final year report, as I'm graduating next month, the song just pops again in my autoplay. I took a deep breath, realizing nothing has change over the course of time, except that I don't have the enthusiasm as a freshmen anymore, and the pandemic slowly dies down. Time do flies, it really does.
Im 60 ...seen a lot, listened to more ..into Jazz fusion, rock, indie, motown, downtempo..you name it! But this song and its movements hits me like a ton of bricks every time I listen to it!

This song and comment section has given me so much inspiration for poems and concepts alike. I’d like to thank every single person who made me explore something new.
Sometimes you discover a song at the right time in your life. It hits different and you know after listening to it a few days in a row, you're gonna be listening to it with that same joy in years time. You'll most likely listen to it on repeat when you should be sleeping too, but it's always worth that extra play. What a bop 🎶
It's 3am. I'm playing this song for about an hour on loop and just when I planned on sleeping I looped it back juuust one more time. I smiled when I read this comment. Thanks for being stupid with me, stranger :)
You might have wrote this comment in early 2021. I discovered this amazing song around that time, and it brings memories of my high school social and psicological diffuculties I was passing through then. By the very end of 2020 I used to stare at the PC, watching RUclips videos about SpaceX Starship rocket and music to distract me from my personal problems, discussions with everyone and existential crisis, and then this song appeared. It was very chilling, long and really cool. It made me think about myself, maybe it was just me trying to solve a problem that it appeared spontaneously on me, and then I extrapolated it to every conflict I had with myself and every person close to me. Maybe I just had to let it go, stop getting frustrated with everything Along with Maryia Takeguchi's "Plastic Love", this song marked the beginning of the resolution of my mental breakdown, the end of that dark period. To pass away all those issues, my parents, my friends and my teacher showed love for me, it was the first time anyone apart from my mother showed true love and affection for me. That's why those memories come to my mind instead of others, it was the first time of an important feeling. I have been listening to this song again and again since then but I can only remember those times, when my life made a big change.
@@banana6963 Check out the playlists on my channel if you're interested, there's three main lists for individual songs, one for albums, and assorted saved playlists from around YT. It's an eclectic mix but you might find something you like.
So much I love about this piece. - The fact that it's almost two songs due to the big change mid-song - The equally big change in the perspective of the song at that mid-song point going from he/she to she/he. Always perplexed and enchanted by the many possible meanings there. - The amazing quality of the recording - The amazing use of synths and effects - The spectacular composition where the balance between the keyboards, vocals, drums, etc all work together to complement each other perfectly throughout - The dynamics where it gets so silent in parts of the song before regaining speed and volume... just reminds me of a storm passing through with the accompanying intensity variations I could just go on and on. I think I heard a song by Electric Guest in a bar/restaurant a long time ago and Shazam'ed it and then ended up exploring all of their stuff. This is probably my absolute favorite piece they've done. I'd put this up side anything by Pink Floyd or anyone else in terms of composition, recording quality, and depth of lyrics. It's all so friggin good. Hope they get back together and find a way to recapture that magic time they had here. It was/is awesome.
I wish this song was 80 minutes long because it is a total work of art.🥹 I am a big music nerd and listen to music from different genres for hours and days but somehow the allmighty god of sound kept me from discovering this song before today. Damn, this song is stunning.
This is probably not what it means but from my first impression- it makes me think of an immortal man (the singer) that just falls in love with the people over time even though he knows he shouldn't, and he watches them die? And he describes them
Man, every now and then you find a song that really makes you appreciate music. You wished you heard it sooner. This song is just so humane, fair and real.
She was young once, Girl of the bohemian kind. In the cold, bright dawn, We watched her grow. Wisdom began, Season when the river was high. On the gray stone long, I walked alone. Me and my heart, Following the shadow she made. Like a dull sky day, I chased the sun. Back at the start, I was still in love with the way. It's a long way, From what's become. She's got it bad for me, She's got it bad for me, The only game she played, Now, turn the other way. She's got it bad for me, She's got it bad for me, The only game she played, she played. Newly grown up, Folded up the color he wore. See the all new girl, Rehearsed and well. Filling my cup, Playing at the edge of the shore. See the way she moves, I broke the spell. She's got it bad for me, She's got it bad for me, The only game she played, Now, turn the other way. She's got it bad for me, She's got it bad for me, The only game she played, she played. Oh, no. Try to fix it for you, break it then it's gone. Oh, no. I go home, I go home. She's got it bad for me, She's got it bad for me, The only game she played, Now, turn the other way. She's got it bad for me, She's got it bad for me, The only game she played, she played. Troubleman, You wished it all away. Gun in hand, You found a path today. And I know, nothing about. Troubleman, Your faith was long ago. Foreign land, The sea was made of stone. And I know, nothing about. He's gotten bad for me, He's gotten bad for me, The only game he played, Now, turn the other way. He's gotten bad for me, He's gotten bad for me, The only game he played, he played. Troubleman, We used to shake the dead. Ship unmanned, The rain was just ahead. And I know, nothing about. What troubleman, Is just the empty name. Oh, no. Try to fix it for you, break it then it's gone. Oh, no. You go home, we go home.
9 minutes are not enough for this amazing song. Electric Guest really have a special place in my heart, they just do it perfectly and how I wanted it to be, but at the same time they surprise me.
I hope I get to see them live. I found them at the perfect time in my life and they have been nothing but a blessing in disguise and good vibes into my life
No matter what, I always return to this song in the most difficult periods of my life. Every time I put a new meaning into it, although the words are still the same. This song is extraordinary.
You can tell, this is the type of music that really lasts. It's very relatable, has incredible lyrics, and that guitar solo? Well you just don't hear a lot of music like that anymore. This entire album was a masterpiece, can't wait for the new one! 👍
I discovered electric guest when i was 13 yo , now i'm 23, and this song brings me too much peace. it's my favorite song, and i guess it will be 4ever.
I remember listening to this song in my first year at the uni. Covid, online studying. I had a huge crush on the guy from my group (he turned out to be an asshole). Life was boring, not what I expected back in school, but this song pulled me together those days. I came across it accidentally. I haven't listened to it for almost a year. Strange but a great feeling of finding something great again. Just wanted to share:)
Memories can be a beautiful thing sometimes. I discovered this song in early 2021, when I was passing through a crisis, but I've been listening it over and over again and only those memories come to mind. I discovered that song in about the same time as you, at the full pandemic. It wasn't a struggle in the first ~10 months, but when the first year of batxillerat (last 2 years of high school, specific studies, 16 years old) begun. I expected nice people interestes in my subject, which was science, but it turned out that no one in my classroom was my friend. I struggled with that the whole year, I changed my classroom after the first week, a clasroom where all my friends were united there (why the heck wasn't I???), but the classroom for specific subjects was the same as previous. When I had problems, no one helped. People without mask made very mad. When I attended to online classes, where I was really unconfortable. I also have Asperger's, there was important homework and exams questions I misunderstood and did heavily wrong. That was the beginning of my dawnfall, I began to think that maybe science (which has been my passion since a kid) wasn't my thing and that I had to leave studies. I asked for help to my teachers but only one did something for me, the others did nothing. By that time, I got easily angry with every person in my life who interacted with me, and when I wasn't mad I always spoke making only jokes, my mind didn't want to make me express myself. 2020 was a great year for me and my family economy, but that period was over. By the very end of that year I used to stare at the PC, watching RUclips videos about SpaceX Starship rocket and music to distract me from my personal problems, discussions with everyone and existential crisis, and then this song appeared. It was very chilling, long and really cool. It made me think about myself, maybe it was just me trying to solve a problem that it appeared spontaneously on me, and then I extrapolated it to every conflict I had with every. Maybe I just had to let it go, stop getting frustrated with everythin. The case is that I had to take action by myself, not depending on anyone, and ask for real help. Along with Maryia Takeguchi's "Plastic Love", this song marked the beginning of the resolution of my mental breakdown, the end of that dark period. To pass away all those issues, my parents, my friends and my teacher showed love for me, and that I was passing through a depression, it was the first time anyone apart from my mother showed true love and affection for me. That's why those memories come to my mind instead of others, it was the first time of an important feeling. I have been listening to this song again and again since then but I can only remember those times, when my life made a big change.
This is one of those songs that you listen to, and on the first time, think "Eh, this is pretty good, but I won't add it to my playlist." Then the second time you come around, you think "man, why didn't I add this to my playlist?" And then you end up listening to it on repeat for hours.
After waking up from bed I was having some serious troubles since morning. I got tired & pissed of. Then I unconsciously entered into RUclips & found this song on the top of the page. I wasn’t curious about the song the more I got interested on their band name. I somehow felt that this electric guest can't be anyone precise than me. And that's how a trouble man, an electric guest gets here & he suddenly starts feeling unreal.
I was fortunate enough to hear this on a local station and forgot about it. It still makes me smile, want to move to the rhythm and feel good inside years later. Just a great song, singer and group! I only wish groups like Electric Guest and songs like this received greater play and broader recognition. So many people need to hear something good and "smile" these days.
I listened to this song on repeat almost a decade ago to get me thru a rough breakup. I'm going through another and it still hits home. Thank you for this timeless piece
I love the change of feel at about 4:45. From then on, that's probably my favorite part. =D Especially at 5:30. They change it up a bit. Adds variety, keeps ya interested.
Look. I have listened to this song since it came out. In my opinion, it is one of the best songs I have ever heard. Literally. It is what I boldly call the perfect song. That transition to “Troubleman” ? I live for that. It hits the soul so perfectly. Electric guest went crazy with this one😮💨.
bc remembering a person means that the person isnt in the present, if you love(d) them in any way this hurts man. But thats life, time flies and people change. Relationsships as well. Everything flows thats just how it goes
cause then once the person leaves, you are only left with the song which leaves a hole in your experience of the song. Its that hole which causes the aching and not the person itself. Only the space that the person occupied.
It is incredible that i've listening this masterpiece for a year or more and still i didn't find someone else which had listen :( So thank you (reader) for listen this with me n.n Greetings from Venezuela, pals!
Hmm theres some electrical static in the background when you really listen for it which is a tad annoying, can really hear it around the 3:30 area but otherwise pretty darn amazing
I cry every time I hear this song and read the comments. I love all of you because you're all so pure. God, I'm such a baby. FAITH IN HUMANITY=RESTORED FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
You won't believe I was searching this song for years I guess 2 finally found it and makes me so nostalgic. I and Sophia used to listen this back in 2013-14 but then one day they took her and after a month I heard she has committed suicide and now all those memories are here again and it's unexplainable incurable melancholia I really miss her I can't believe I came this far 5 years omg thank you for listening take care and keep loving and stay close to your loved ones
I rarely say this about songs but this is such a perfect song, off the first listen I feel It's so emotional and sad yet so freeing and liberating. It sounds like the last minuets of the worst storm of your life and it smoothly transitions into the 3rd act of your life where all obstacles have been defeated and as if to say "you're so close to the best part of your life, just keep flowing and fighting". God I really love this song
I just can't tell how many times have I comback right on this song on this chanel. It's just calm me right after I click the thumbnail. Idk if it's because there's no ads or it's because of the vibe it gives off the very first second of the song.
It's a strange disappointment in humanity when they can come together so well in a comment section but can't manage to do the same in the real world. Please love one another, so you can love yourself 💜

Yeah, i absolutely cannot find any song similar, and the ones that are similar aren't good enough to beat this masterpiece.

[Verse 1]
She was young once
Girl of the bohemian kind
In the cold, bright dawn
We watched her grow
Wisdom begun
Season when the river was high
On the gray stone long
I walked alone
Me and my heart
Following the shadow she made
Like a dull sky day
I chased the sun
Back at the start
I was still in love with the way
It's a long way
From what's become
[Chorus 1]
She's got it bad for me
She's got it bad for me
The only game she played
Now turn the other way
She's got it bad for me
She's got it bad for me
The only game she played, she played
[Verse 2]
Newly grown up
Folded up, the color he wore
See the all new girl
Rehearsed and well
Filling my cup
Playing at the edge of the shore
See the way she moves
I broke the spell
[Chorus 1]
She's got it bad for me
She's got it bad for me
The only game she played
Now turn the other way
[Hook 1]
Oh, no
Try to fix it 'fore you break it
Then it's gone
Oh, no
I go on, I go on
[Chorus 1]
She's got it bad for me
She's got it bad for me
The only game she played
Now turn the other way
[Interlude/Transition]
[Verse 3]
Troubleman
You wished it all away
Gun in hand
You found a path today
And I know nothing about
Troubleman
Your faith was long ago
Foreign land
The sea was made of stone
And I know nothing about
[Chorus 2]
He's gotten bad for me
He's gotten bad for me
The only game he played
Now turn the other way
He's gotten bad for me
He's gotten bad for me
The only game he played, he played
[Verse 4]
Troubleman
We used to shake the dead
Ship unmanned
The rain was just ahead
And I know nothing about
Where Troubleman
Is just the empty name
[Hook 2]
Oh, no
Try to fix it 'fore you break it
Then it's gone
Oh, no
You go on, we go on
thanks bruv
Perfect, i'm looking for this on the comments 😊
Thanks!
Proof that Czech girls are magically beautiful... A gift and a curse for us, guys in chase of them.
Lolz no one knows what this songs lyrics mean, and no it’s not about Czech girls.
This song and comment section has given me so much inspiration for poems and concepts alike. I’d like to thank every single person who made me explore something new.
I have the same feeling
2020 and I just found this song... Replaying it all-day
You are not the only one. Such a great song!
Can't stop playing this.
Amazing right! Let's go😍😁
Same, so much music from the past decade is so underrated!
I just saw this pop up. Had heard it first maybe 3 (?) years ago, but couldn't find it in You Tube. Finally, now in my feed.☺
Now that my ears are blessed, I can die in peace.
ouch
Rip
Okay
Come check it again
Sometimes you discover a song at the right time in your life. It hits different and you know after listening to it a few days in a row, you're gonna be listening to it with that same joy in years time. You'll most likely listen to it on repeat when you should be sleeping too, but it's always worth that extra play.
What a bop 🎶
Glad you found this special tune. No words are worthy to describe the joy it brings x
word
could not have worded it better and I know the exact feeling you're talking about. Songs like these warms the soul and radiates love
It's 3am. I'm playing this song for about an hour on loop and just when I planned on sleeping I looped it back juuust one more time. I smiled when I read this comment. Thanks for being stupid with me, stranger :)
You might have wrote this comment in early 2021. I discovered this amazing song around that time, and it brings memories of my high school social and psicological diffuculties I was passing through then.
By the very end of 2020 I used to stare at the PC, watching RUclips videos about SpaceX Starship rocket and music to distract me from my personal problems, discussions with everyone and existential crisis, and then this song appeared. It was very chilling, long and really cool. It made me think about myself, maybe it was just me trying to solve a problem that it appeared spontaneously on me, and then I extrapolated it to every conflict I had with myself and every person close to me. Maybe I just had to let it go, stop getting frustrated with everything
Along with Maryia Takeguchi's "Plastic Love", this song marked the beginning of the resolution of my mental breakdown, the end of that dark period.
To pass away all those issues, my parents, my friends and my teacher showed love for me, it was the first time anyone apart from my mother showed true love and affection for me. That's why those memories come to my mind instead of others, it was the first time of an important feeling.
I have been listening to this song again and again since then but I can only remember those times, when my life made a big change.
I am glad and angry that i found this 9 years too late.
its so sad for you :/
same :/
I feel the same
not too late, just late
So do I ma´ friend
Stumbled onto this song by accident and loved every minute of it!
One of those rare moments when YT gets it right! =D
Same for me !
Me too I really like it. I can’t believe it’s 8 yrs old or so it sounds very new..
Same, great stuff
I’m so glad I just found this
I was re-organizing my playlists and ended up on a late night music binge, best time to find gems.
seems like I'm not the only one

ive been listening to this song for 8 years. im glad the algorithm is finally spreading the love
FUCK YEAH!
This song... this song make me remember lost opportunities... very emotional
Beanclone15 ... my sentiments exactly
yo bro,still alive?
I have a spotify and YT music uploaded! FUCK YEAH!
Especially lost opportunities with women
So much I love about this piece.
- The fact that it's almost two songs due to the big change mid-song
- The equally big change in the perspective of the song at that mid-song point going from he/she to she/he. Always perplexed and enchanted by the many possible meanings there.
- The amazing quality of the recording
- The amazing use of synths and effects
- The spectacular composition where the balance between the keyboards, vocals, drums, etc all work together to complement each other perfectly throughout
- The dynamics where it gets so silent in parts of the song before regaining speed and volume... just reminds me of a storm passing through with the accompanying intensity variations
I could just go on and on. I think I heard a song by Electric Guest in a bar/restaurant a long time ago and Shazam'ed it and then ended up exploring all of their stuff. This is probably my absolute favorite piece they've done. I'd put this up side anything by Pink Floyd or anyone else in terms of composition, recording quality, and depth of lyrics. It's all so friggin good. Hope they get back together and find a way to recapture that magic time they had here. It was/is awesome.
I wish this song was 80 minutes long because it is a total work of art.🥹
I am a big music nerd and listen to music from different genres for hours and days but somehow the allmighty god of sound kept me from discovering this song before today. Damn, this song is stunning.
I make your words mine@@S.Innuendo
This is probably not what it means but from my first impression- it makes me think of an immortal man (the singer) that just falls in love with the people over time even though he knows he shouldn't, and he watches them die? And he describes them
Man, every now and then you find a song that really makes you appreciate music. You wished you heard it sooner. This song is just so humane, fair and real.
Maria Tambien - Khruangbin
She was young once,
Girl of the bohemian kind.
In the cold, bright dawn,
We watched her grow.
Wisdom began,
Season when the river was high.
On the gray stone long,
I walked alone.
Me and my heart,
Following the shadow she made.
Like a dull sky day,
I chased the sun.
Back at the start,
I was still in love with the way.
It's a long way,
From what's become.
She's got it bad for me,
She's got it bad for me,
The only game she played,
Now, turn the other way.
She's got it bad for me,
She's got it bad for me,
The only game she played, she played.
Newly grown up,
Folded up the color he wore.
See the all new girl,
Rehearsed and well.
Filling my cup,
Playing at the edge of the shore.
See the way she moves,
I broke the spell.
She's got it bad for me,
She's got it bad for me,
The only game she played,
Now, turn the other way.
She's got it bad for me,
She's got it bad for me,
The only game she played, she played.
Oh, no.
Try to fix it for you, break it then it's gone.
Oh, no.
I go home, I go home.
She's got it bad for me,
She's got it bad for me,
The only game she played,
Now, turn the other way.
She's got it bad for me,
She's got it bad for me,
The only game she played, she played.
Troubleman,
You wished it all away.
Gun in hand,
You found a path today.
And I know, nothing about.
Troubleman,
Your faith was long ago.
Foreign land,
The sea was made of stone.
And I know, nothing about.
He's gotten bad for me,
He's gotten bad for me,
The only game he played,
Now, turn the other way.
He's gotten bad for me,
He's gotten bad for me,
The only game he played, he played.
Troubleman,
We used to shake the dead.
Ship unmanned,
The rain was just ahead.
And I know, nothing about.
What troubleman,
Is just the empty name.
Oh, no.
Try to fix it for you, break it then it's gone.
Oh, no.
You go home, we go home.
😍😍😍😍✋❤
I would like to have written these words
Thank you
The last verse is "oh no, try to fix it 'fore you break it"
I like✨✨✨✨🔥
This song will never get old....EVER!!!
9 minutes are not enough for this amazing song.
Electric Guest really have a special place in my heart, they just do it perfectly and how I wanted it to be, but at the same time they surprise me.
HappyJuice007 Wait this is 9 minutes long? It was so good it felt like a second!
Amen o.o
Surprise me....surprise?!
[buttseck intensified]
aww yes
I hope I get to see them live. I found them at the perfect time in my life and they have been nothing but a blessing in disguise and good vibes into my life
i feel like everyone should listen to this song at some point
like me over and over again until my bf comes back
Illusivv World awh bby ik sorry
FUCK YEAH!
No matter what, I always return to this song in the most difficult periods of my life. Every time I put a new meaning into it, although the words are still the same. This song is extraordinary.
This song feels like a hug for the tired me.
same!

5:25 it's like a new song of its own! Oh God! >.< The beauty.
It sounds like proggressive rock, actually, like Pink Floyd, Supertramp or Porcupine Tree (I recommend to you these bands, btw)
What an unappreciated work of art this album is. Stays close to my heart 🙏
You can tell, this is the type of music that really lasts. It's very relatable, has incredible lyrics, and that guitar solo? Well you just don't hear a lot of music like that anymore. This entire album was a masterpiece, can't wait for the new one! 👍

Listen to Electric Light Orchestra. If you like Electric Guest then I think you'll like ELO.
It's kind of a shame, they changed the style of music in their lasts records.
from 2021, i agree lol
Boy this comment only seems more valid as each year passes
@@guyfarting430 ELO is great. They’re the Beatles from outer space!
The best 8 minutes my ears have gotten in the whole of 2020
Good stuff .
👌
Look out for this whole album, it's also one of my best findings of 2020 :)
I listen to this every day. 🙂
Totalmente, vale la pena esperar esos 8 minutos con esa canción uu
I discovered electric guest when i was 13 yo , now i'm 23, and this song brings me too much peace. it's my favorite song, and i guess it will be 4ever.
so far the best new indie band I've heard since kings of convenience.
Brad Miller holy shit. this is the first time I've ever seen KoC mentioned anywhere. amazing
Cool Cat ... I was thinking the same thing!
I remember listening to this song in my first year at the uni. Covid, online studying. I had a huge crush on the guy from my group (he turned out to be an asshole). Life was boring, not what I expected back in school, but this song pulled me together those days.
I came across it accidentally. I haven't listened to it for almost a year. Strange but a great feeling of finding something great again.
Just wanted to share:)
Memories can be a beautiful thing sometimes. I discovered this song in early 2021, when I was passing through a crisis, but I've been listening it over and over again and only those memories come to mind.
I discovered that song in about the same time as you, at the full pandemic. It wasn't a struggle in the first ~10 months, but when the first year of batxillerat (last 2 years of high school, specific studies, 16 years old) begun. I expected nice people interestes in my subject, which was science, but it turned out that no one in my classroom was my friend. I struggled with that the whole year, I changed my classroom after the first week, a clasroom where all my friends were united there (why the heck wasn't I???), but the classroom for specific subjects was the same as previous. When I had problems, no one helped.
People without mask made very mad. When I attended to online classes, where I was really unconfortable.
I also have Asperger's, there was important homework and exams questions I misunderstood and did heavily wrong. That was the beginning of my dawnfall, I began to think that maybe science (which has been my passion since a kid) wasn't my thing and that I had to leave studies. I asked for help to my teachers but only one did something for me, the others did nothing.
By that time, I got easily angry with every person in my life who interacted with me, and when I wasn't mad I always spoke making only jokes, my mind didn't want to make me express myself. 2020 was a great year for me and my family economy, but that period was over.
By the very end of that year I used to stare at the PC, watching RUclips videos about SpaceX Starship rocket and music to distract me from my personal problems, discussions with everyone and existential crisis, and then this song appeared. It was very chilling, long and really cool. It made me think about myself, maybe it was just me trying to solve a problem that it appeared spontaneously on me, and then I extrapolated it to every conflict I had with every. Maybe I just had to let it go, stop getting frustrated with everythin. The case is that I had to take action by myself, not depending on anyone, and ask for real help.
Along with Maryia Takeguchi's "Plastic Love", this song marked the beginning of the resolution of my mental breakdown, the end of that dark period.
To pass away all those issues, my parents, my friends and my teacher showed love for me, and that I was passing through a depression, it was the first time anyone apart from my mother showed true love and affection for me.

This is one of those songs that you listen to, and on the first time, think "Eh, this is pretty good, but I won't add it to my playlist."
Then the second time you come around, you think "man, why didn't I add this to my playlist?"
And then you end up listening to it on repeat for hours.
Ikr lmao
exactly haha
Ong
Yeeees exactly what happened to me
After waking up from bed I was having some serious troubles since morning. I got tired & pissed of. Then I unconsciously entered into RUclips & found this song on the top of the page. I wasn’t curious about the song the more I got interested on their band name. I somehow felt that this electric guest can't be anyone precise than me. And that's how a trouble man, an electric guest gets here & he suddenly starts feeling unreal.
Shortest eight minutes song ever

I just only realized like ten minutes ago that the song was like 8 minutes long.
Suprised pikachu face
actually not; it is almost 9 minutes long
I thought it has 4, it would explain these 30 minutes I didn't remember how I spent.
This song legit changed my entire mood, I was stressed out and I heard this song and I’m so relaxed, I didn’t know a song could make you this relaxed
Music is magic sometimes. I recommend you Feng Suave - half moon bag. It has the same effect on me as this song has
@@iolem692 I’ll listen to it now! Thanks
I was fortunate enough to hear this on a local station and forgot about it. It still makes me smile, want to move to the rhythm and feel good inside years later. Just a great song, singer and group! I only wish groups like Electric Guest and songs like this received greater play and broader recognition. So many people need to hear something good and "smile" these days.
Help share it!
Share it with friends and family
I have heard a lot of songs. Rock, jazz, rap, pop.
Every time I go into a 2am song marathon, this is always the highlight.
Absolute masterpiece!
I listened to this song on repeat almost a decade ago to get me thru a rough breakup. I'm going through another and it still hits home. Thank you for this timeless piece
One of the very few songs you can put as an alarm without growing tired of it
Not ready to risk that
I love the change of feel at about 4:45. From then on, that's probably my favorite part. =D Especially at 5:30. They change it up a bit. Adds variety, keeps ya interested.

Thank you Electric guest for creating such a beautiful thing.
Repetitive, soothing and long. Perfect music for having in the background while working.
FUCK YEAH!
Chorus: 1:19 2:22 3:58 6:28
there is a sound/tonal difference in every rendition of the chorus (except for the first two)
This is a masterpiece. I feel lucky to have discovered it
What a great RUclips recommendation this is. Just beautiful.
No joke, this song is wonderful
Gosto dessa musica, uma musica leve.
Look. I have listened to this song since it came out. In my opinion, it is one of the best songs I have ever heard. Literally. It is what I boldly call the perfect song. That transition to “Troubleman” ? I live for that. It hits the soul so perfectly. Electric guest went crazy with this one😮💨.
why does associating people with songs always hurts?
For me associating with people is the thing that hurts
I was hurting when this song got released and when i listened to this, i felt i found the song i could put on repeat.
bc remembering a person means that the person isnt in the present, if you love(d) them in any way this hurts man. But thats life, time flies and people change. Relationsships as well. Everything flows thats just how it goes
to find resonance?
cause then once the person leaves, you are only left with the song which leaves a hole in your experience of the song. Its that hole which causes the aching and not the person itself. Only the space that the person occupied.
How does this song not have alot of attention when its perfect?
9.000.000 is kinda lot of? isnt it?

I only stop playing it to fetch more alcohol. 😆
i could listen to this on repeat for hours, the sound is so pleasant
The change. This is dope. This is magical.
I found this FLAWLESS song yesterday and I’ve already listened to it a dozen times.
Hmm theres some electrical static in the background when you really listen for it which is a tad annoying, can really hear it around the 3:30 area but otherwise pretty darn amazing
Thank god it's underrated and not playing everywhere
One of the best songs I've heard in years.

I found this song a couple weeks ago and I've been keeping it on replay. It has such a indescribable vibe. Love it.
I spent 9 years not knowing this song and now I can't stop listening to it
Time heals all (most) wounds.
You won't believe I was searching this song for years I guess 2 finally found it and makes me so nostalgic.
I and Sophia used to listen this back in 2013-14 but then one day they took her and after a month I heard she has committed suicide and now all those memories are here again and it's unexplainable incurable melancholia I really miss her I can't believe I came this far 5 years omg thank you for listening take care and keep loving and stay close to your loved ones
@Steven Toney yes i am thank you so much for your concern thank you
I rarely say this about songs but this is such a perfect song, off the first listen I feel It's so emotional and sad yet so freeing and liberating. It sounds like the last minuets of the worst storm of your life and it smoothly transitions into the 3rd act of your life where all obstacles have been defeated and as if to say "you're so close to the best part of your life, just keep flowing and fighting". God I really love this song
Yeah really wished I knew about this song back when it was released but glad I found it now.
In a world of 7 billion only 1.6 million are tuned in!! One of my favourite songs of the last 5-6 years. Pure brilliance!
Clearly one of the best song of all time. Thank you Electric Guest for this masterpiece.
HOW DID I JUST NOW RANDOMLY COME ACROSS THIS SONG?!??? i have never been more in love
maybe she's got it bad for u? XD
This song is too short.
agree
agree!!
that is why you put in on repeat :P
This song randomly pops up in my head every now and then and cant help but jam to it. finger snaps and everything
been two years since I've discovered this song. Still love it as much as I did and it's still one of my favorite songs ever.

That's the trouble, man...
I just can't tell how many times have I comback right on this song on this chanel. It's just calm me right after I click the thumbnail. Idk if it's because there's no ads or it's because of the vibe it gives off the very first second of the song.
The song is 9 minutes and i still play it on repeat for hours! So good!!!
oh yeah, its so good
WE LOVE THIS SONG. BEST WISHES FROM MOMENT OF JOY!!!
This is one of those songs that makes you forget about everything.
oh man i just discovered this song and i am feeling sorry for the years that have passed without this song
I was going through old music playlists I had on 8-track hoping I'd come across a gem I forgot about... This is one
This is so lovely and different from their other songs, but that's why I love this music, it takes me places I never knew existed within myself
this song has recently blown up, and for good reason. This song is def. my jam
It's a strange disappointment in humanity when they can come together so well in a comment section but can't manage to do the same in the real world.
