Mellow Boy It kind of is... It’s the most modern sounding catchy song I’ve heard in a long while. This and Dum Surfer pretty much sums up the last few years for me. I love King Krule.
Personally I like the lyrics. Sinking spiral of depression, resulting in getting into contact with an ex partner. Very relatable. Mixed with the passion he’s singing with and the contrary fast paced mellow and vibrant rhythm and melody. Totally dig it.
Its crazy that krule has a kid now lol. Hes like a couple years older then me i think and i remember being really into his music when i started college
@@xwhite2020 No its mental bc for the longest time we perceived him as this despondent lone wolf type figure whose turmoils with society put him above the concept of fatherhood in some kind of selfish pessimism. So seeing him have a kid and a family is a pleasant surprise. Its such an innocent thing compared to the themes of his music. No need to be a smartass
I think King Krule's progression as an artist has been something great. On 6 feet beneath the moon you basically get pure angst. A character angry at the world, angry at themselves. By the time you get to Man Alive I can really see a level of acceptance and maturity you don't get early in his career. There are even moments of optimism. Archy is brilliant. Every record seems to show new ways he's grown as an individual trying to navigate the world.
This song evokes good memories. The start of the pandemic was such a strange introspective time for me. Also caught him live right before everything closed down. Good times.
There's a television There's a television speaking to me There's a French girl On my television She's crying in the palm of my hand In moving mental I read the paper, or just the photos I rip one out in my hand There's a massacre, across the ocean I can see it in the palm of my hands (Me hundo cada vez más hondo) Below the ground floor I'm losing signal, we've lost connection I left her dying, she was still crying And now she's lying in my head Above the third rail, shrapnel flying Next door's wobbling But I'm riding to the end What am I good for? I've got no signal Abandoned, to the voice in my head [Outro] I phone my ex (x12)
Delicious. Thank you. I’m not sure if it says “me hundo cada vez más al fondo” or “me hundo cada vez más hondo”. Just a little feedback, no bad vibes intended
@@chemMOMO You're right, it's " me hundo cada vez más hondo". For everyone that doesn't speak spanish, translated, that's "I drown deeper every moment"
@@chemMOMOhello RUclips peeps, actually it translates to "I sink deeper and deeper" or "I sink deeper every time". Sometimes translation between Spanish and English can be tricky. "undo" means sink "me undo" = "I sink". The word drown is "ahogó". So I drown would be "me ahogó". Just a clarification not trying to be a dick lol.
This is literally the only king rule song I’ve ever heard, and I’m honestly completely satisfied, I don’t even feel like I need to listen to any more of their music cause this song is just so damn good
I’ve literally listened to this song about 50 times each day... the song goes by so fast and once it goes to repeating “I phone my ex”, I just absolutely lose my mind. Thank you King Krule, thank you for continuing to release mind blowing trax bruv. I love you more than you will ever know.
Love this guy. Pains me that I can't get anywhere with my art but always makes me happy to see people doing original interesting shit and reaching an audience with it. Sounds like this album is going to be brilliant. Love the chords at 1:34.
@@sol12498 If it's good and it reaches an audience who get something meaningful out of it then that is successful, in a broader sense. Especially if you can make enough money to not have to spend time on day jobs. In a more narrow sense, if you create something and you're really proud of how it is then yeah that is a form of success too. It feels great. But being able to actually effect others in some way is also hugely important to me in most aspects of my life.
in my experience you should almost always go to a show instead of working//staying in at home cus you don’t want to go alone...etc. if u can take someone with you that’s a plus! but you never know the next time someone will tour in your city so yes go check him out live!!
little late to the party but this music video is actually a masterpiece. The man is being electrocuted, and the video is the timeline of how it takes place. It seems simple enough. A man is entranced by a woman on top of the electrical poles, and the man caught in desires, blindly climbs up to her. Only for her to cut the wire, electrocuting him, and leave him seizing alone. However, the sexual allegories at play here are immaculate. Paired with the meaning of the of the lyrics, and the phallic imagery on top of the telephone pole, as well as the sexual innuendo from the lady. Even the background color change to a hot color, signify the power of lust the man feels. So powerful he is blind to the warning signs. I think this truly abstracts and delivers a unique experience. That feeling of losing touch of reality, living the moments of infatuation over again in your head. Leaving one in a pathetic, uncontrollable state.
love you so much archy i remember being so in love and happy with life when the ooz came out - and now listening to these songs makes me reminisce on the person i once was. i can't wait to experience archy in april and cry my eyes out
I been fucked up long before the ooz, maybe I was happy when 6 ft beneath the moon came out, also I had tickets to see him in april too but it got cancelled cause fucking corona
King Krule always finds a new way to express such a vast variety of feelings, memories, thoughts and dreams. I feel special just for being alive in these times, so I can observe and listen to his growth.
King Krule - Man Alive! Ulises Valadez Contreras - Noir 2020 remastered The Avalanches - We Will Always Love You Tame Impala - The Slow Rush all going to be album of the year contenders
the way ive interpreted this song, is that it could be told about a man, a possibly shizophrenic man, talking to hallucinations he sees in his tv, and one of them, happens to be the memory of a person he wasnt there for the death of, someone he loved dearly, and as he starts taking care of himself, possibly taking anti-psychotics, he feels like he is directly attacking the memory of the person he loved as it is personified as a hallucination that he is now getting rid of, hence the "now shes lying in my head"
I remember jamming this while in my first 2 years of college, at the community college. I was lost and this video disturbed me. It was right though, because I was also disturbed at the time. Strangely comforting.
from melancholic nostalgia to now subtly confronting the technological problem/difficulty of contemporary life thru his music... u giv me faith ArChY. would make music but you've said it all now... genius of our generation
I took my boyfriend to see King Cruel perform for his birthday present a few months back and it was supposed to be HIS night but due to my alocholism I fucked it up for him. I dont even remember king cruel performing I just remember waking up and apologizing to my boyfriend. I have NEVER spent more than $50 on a concert for myself but once I got with my boyfriend I wanted to show him how special he was to me only to fuck it up for him. I really hope to see King Cruel perform again soon in Los Angeles and make up for my horrible mistake.
Goddamn! His music fills me with such raw feeling. Like electricity running through water it just goes with the current. Makes my heart race faster than a race horse at top speed, I love this.
Listening to this brings back memories of when I first started listening to King Krule; I'm out of high school but I found out about him my freshamn year and I remember feeling so refreshed to have found his music - his music helped me make light out of the dark.
Looking at all these comments and stuff now, its all beautiful and everything, I wish more people would see this guy, hes truly an amazing artist and honestly needs alot more light shun upon him for what hes capable for, his songs and the meanings to them genuinely bring a tear to my eye because of how well orchestrated it is, im still listening to this in 2023 and I hope alot more people find you and start listening to you man.

came out just as i was starting my morning, wasn't an easy one but this has definitely changed that. thank you archy

Why do you define art as successful if it gets a lot of views?
@@sol12498 If it's good and it reaches an audience who get something meaningful out of it then that is successful, in a broader sense. Especially if you can make enough money to not have to spend time on day jobs.

Go to school, collaborate
• Self-deprecating comment about own music to shamelessly attempting to subtly self-advertise when the real focus here is King Krule
I see you.
I'm so glad i was born in the same era that King Krule is releasing albums. Please come to Brazil.
saw this live in London last night - incredible
Jack Hall me too , was insane
Did he play Energy Fleets?! Dying to see him in Dublin but idk if i'm busy that night

one of my favorite king krule songs thus far and the visuals are mental. so stoked for this album
This is without a doubt one of the greatest songs of this opening decade. The mix of it's oddly futuristic yet analog sound is such a great mix.
