Lyrics:
No, it's working
It's working in your blood
Which you know is not the same as love
Love is only in your mind and not your heart 
Видеоклипы
This is by far my favourite episode of Blaсk Mirror.
hahaha 😂well said
ahahhah lol well thats kinda true then :D
Is it working
Did acid to this song once and you were so right
Do you mean you listened to this song while on acid? lol ^
This song's about how people say drugs free your mind and open you up to new things, but as you continue taking them, you become isolated from society and essentially put in a box
David H. The video is obviously about it, but I'm not so sure about the song itself.
jktomas Wether or not, that's so damn right.
David H. More accurately, it's actually about how Ecstasy loses its efficacy with repeated uses.
Castle Tesla But if its solely about ecstacy losing its strength then what is the video trying to represent by them getting closed up in the box?
its about heroine & lsd
when Andrew comes out in a dress and bow, he looks like maxmofoe
Maxine, you wanted to say?
Both make me feel things

When I first heard Congratulation I didn't really understand, I didn't really like it. Then after listening to it more and more I understood how good it was. It's a very good album, it has it's own style and the songs are all so refreshing.
the drums are so good in this track.
Indeed. The reverb effect on the kick and snare is ridiculous.
omg are you tom from myspace?
omg its THE myspace tom
Tom!!
Yes
"It's just like striking matches" is one of my favourite moments on this album, which, incidentally, is one of my favourite moments in music of all time.
If you're still alive and here with us my dude striking matches is very satisfying so I don't blame you for liking the lyric a lot
You wound me 😭💔
They keep them under the counter at IKEA.
I don't know what anyone's talking about. But this might be better that rhe Beatles.
i can't stop laughing at this comment
As an old dude that grew up in the 70s and 80s, I still love a lot of 21st cent. bands. MGMT is one I have liked for years. Just here to say this should not shock the young millennials, this song and many of their song have a retro-sound. This is very 60s psychedelic pop. When I hear songs like this, I can't help but think of early Pink Floyd (60s Syd Barrett days).
For some reason, i get a lot of beach boys vibes in this recording too.
according to Ben and Andrew, this song was inspired structure-wise by "See Emily Play"
I can see that. That is the particular Pink Floyd song it reminds me of.
- Joseph go find on your own
Syd was simply part of the exposure of One Vibrational Consciousness.
I guess I'm c.20yrs older than you (Pulling Rank, SIR ;). I spent my 'Youuuff' @ the Roundhouse and saw Syd, and shared a ciggie outside, many times with him, (& my mate, Pete Shotten's little brother, Dave, played tambourine on Hey Jude at Abbey Road).
I unplugged many years ago... I am Syd. You are Syd. You are John L., I am John L..
We are ALL "One Vibrational Consciousness". You are MGMT. What's the Big deal. A child under 5yrs "dies" every 3 seconds of preventable poverty somewhere on what we/you call Planet Earth.
Wake up... It's all a charade!!
You are One Consciousness, formed at the moment of Creation (Scientific...not supernatural!). Enjoy the ride of momentary, depleting, bliss!!
Grasp this and, like Neo in The Matrix, you can FLY!!
You can...
Don't be bound! unplug from MSM and "TV".
Reality is you! Trust me.
(n.b. My internet gets deleted 2x a week by UK Gov... Simply for exposing the charade (as above) )
Enjoy.... my limb. Enjoy. Truly let go and enjoy the eternal bliss of perpetual death, (& strive for good grammar).
For those who keep saying they are on drugs or they're not on drugs blah blah blah. You should actually check out their interviews from that era. One man who interviewed them had to this to say. "Perhaps predictably for a psych track, 'It's Working' is also about drugs. What's more curious, however, is that it's not about LSD. It's about all the ecstasy the boys regret gobbling up in the early throes of their success." Listen to the lyrics as well. "How will I know if it's working right?" As someone who has been in their shoes with ecstasy abuse this is very fitting. The visuals at the end also help this case with the fact that the machine swallows Andrew and Ben whole which is a pretty simple metaphor for addiction.
"But you know it's not the same as love..."
@@mr.conductor6168 Thats an astounding lyric ^ damn
Acid does that too lol
@@ascendedlight acid doesn`t any addiction
It SOUNDS like coming up on MDMA, the lyrics too, "it's working in your blood" "to the light, it's just like striking matches". I don't think the end of the video is about addiction but rather just come down.
Congratulations is the greatest album of our time!
such a wide variety of beautiful music.
couldn't agree more
It was a great journey listening to this album! More people need to be opened to this beauty!
True
All of MGMTs albums
Amen bro
OH MY GOD I CANT GET OVER HOW CUTE ANDREW IS
bro same i legit smile so hard he makes me cry like hes mY DREAM BOY!!!!
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
cringe
@@maskettaman1488 agree
@@mysticalana7255 thats cringe
Andrew has stated various times that this song is about over indulging in ecstasy or MDMA, which is crazy because when this album came out I was in the same confusing situation with the drug as depicted in the video.
damn ikea's marketing campaign has gotten wild
such an underrated album... one of my all time favs. So many different styles of melodies and hooks mixed together. MGMT were like lets put out an album that is just fun, crazy and upbeat to listen to! with all sorts of different semi poppy melodies and strange eclectic lyrics that will drive our weird fanbase nuts ... You either LOVE or hate this album there is no grey area
This my fav album too.
The Moon & Antarctica is a similar album.
These guys are just graced. One of the best bands ever.
so this is why cats love boxes...
mmhmm

Here, you focus
So I can see your faces
The eyes are wrong
How will I know if it's working right?
Light confuses
The tiny isles of bruises
The mangled lines
I see the signs of aging
But if I try to feel at all I am deceived
My mind's affected
It's empty now
As I lay down
I feel alright
My heart is racing
Turn the noise on
I'd like to feed my poison
Assembly lines
Carry a velvet warning
To the yard
It's just like striking matches
The polish lies
But it's working in your blood
Which you know is not the same as love
Love is only in your mind
And not your heart
No, it's working
It's working in your blood
Which you know is not the same as love
Love is only in your mind and not your heart
Just now rediscovering Congratulations. Forgot how fantastic this album is.
Such melodic psychedelic pop. This is some sweet Strawberry Alarm Clock sounds.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like this MGMT song ♥
there's so much humanity in this band
Yes
Their music and their videos are still working. One of my top 5 bands and I've been listening to rock music since early 70's.
3:14 the bimbofication of Andrew
The Yassification of Mr. VanWyngarden
MGMT's music always brings me to tears and feeling so stripped away down to my core soul it's overwhelming asf. Fackkkk can't explain this feeling / experience
This album is severely underrated.
the intro is sooooo The Cure
everything makes sense if it doesnt make sense because thats what really makes sense
Well... It's NOT working anymore. Congratulations, your comment broke it.
@@ianscottorosano214 rude man rude.
ahhhh Andrew is really cute
+Martin Lee Andrew is the one with long hair and no specs
What about Ben? Theres this one interview with Ben in it and he has the most cheekiest smile. Its so adorable
Thank You
Andrew Wylie no problem
It's our house at bas no idea why stuck at 4030 shelter 9 be good on abc
So weird but I think they're great, love their sound even though each song is different, I'm a huge sucker for cinematography & visuals with anything plus I like something I can dance to. The fact that the main guy is really cute is just a bonus.
The Thingamajig! New from IKEA!*
*May not work without the use of LSD
..This song and { Isolation by The Impures ) are some of the only things getting me through the beginning of 2022. Times may be tough but everything going to be okay in the end. I hope everyone is doing well.
How will I know if its working right...
That damn chord progression always gets me
I don’t even have the words to describe how much I love MGMT 💐💐💐
This is like those instructions you get when you buy a bed at ikea
MGMT's weirdness is what I love about them. :)
I think I get it- Andrew and Ben built this world of fame and music. It had girls and ice cream and everything they wanted. It was beautiful. But then it got to be too much, and it started closing in on them. They got trapped, and taken by people they didn't even know. Great song, and great album!!
OMG I REMEMBER THIS MASTERPIECE!!! 🥰
SAMEEEE
This video is about the withdrawals of eating cereal in the middle of the black hole that's lies in the middle of Zebras exploring the cosmos
DRK Feeds Mind blown
Withdrawals of eating yogurt parfait actually
I knew it!
Spot on...glad someone finally got it.
omg he's right
That was a nice peace of Psychedelic Rock. :D
A lot of people will die not knowing what any of mgmt's music means
I am happy not to be one of them. :)
So what?
@@OliverJazzz i'm just pointing it out man
The arrogance of this comment, a trifecta of bullshit.
@@stretchnutzog and what does it mean
Just an incredible album from beginning to end. Truly a masterpiece.
This gonna sound crazy but it kinda sounds like The Beach Boys
not crazy at all
I don't see how they sound similar unless you say they sound similar because they're all good musicians
Psychedelic music sounds similar throughout decades
@@quintonpillar
I don't seem to remember The Beach Boys music being that psychedelic, unless you reffer to their later albums from the 70's which are somewhat psychedelic
Sounds more like Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd to me
i could have seen this video a thousand times and still found it fascinanting
Still one of the greatest albums of all time. Absolute masterpiece.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like this MGMT song ♥
@@MassiveFish-hp4pm Thanks. I checked them out. i liked the "The SRC" song.
@@tylergates4075 love that song
Great track. Timeless as well. I love it so much!!
@@perrybarrett who or what do u mean with AIR...?
3:14 damn he's pretty
נכון!!
I feel like I'm in a different time when I listen to these guys and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
0:41 - 0:44
I'm not the type of human being that fangirls,but...
Damn,Andrew's angel face *-*
As a teen, this encouraged me to take psychedelics. As an adult, I realise this was a warning not to.
1:34 always reminds me of the MGS1 codec screen.
love the air remix too. i usualy dont listen to remixes but it was a realy good job!
I love late nineties, 2000s, and early 2010s indie rock music!
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like this MGMT song ♥
Reminds me of my youth years when I went to warehouse parties back in the days in D.T.L.A.

TOOOOOO THE YAAAAAARD
This, Of Moons Birds and Monsters, Apocalypse Dreams by Tame Impala, Incense and Peppermints by Strawberry Alarm Clock - is there a name for songs like this with the psychedelic hippie/60's tambourine beat, and/or can anyone name any other songs like that?
you might like this one too
Jacco Gardner - Clear The Air
lamegerust Yes! Thank you!
Apocalypse Dreams is brilliant
He's so cute in this video!!!
Everything about this song is good. The production is good, the lyrics and vocals are good, the riff and groove are good, and the video's amazing.
2:03 great reference to beatle's style!
This is "Psychedelic" Style. And Beatles was Makes some Psychedelic song In 66s and later
Wow, how music comes full circle.this could easily be a pink floyd or even a beatles song. Love it
Just read ur comment as I thought this

look up this song - quiet soul by the impures
Best
Video
On RUclips
EVER!!!!!!!!
Love MGMT, Peace.
ungodly underrated album
remember loving this song in late 2019, and in just a couple years everything has dramatically gotten worse. where does the time go, man
This song is a roller coaster when your on acid. Gives me an odd feeling of comfort though? I never know if this band is being serious or fucking with me though. Not sure how to explain that lol
Those of you talking shit about MGMT need to stop. If you don't like the videos, why watch? They are a great band that puts soul into their music and that's something that very few people do.
Live in PR April 14th, so up for it!
There was a time when I was like nine and I just decided I didn't like rap and pop so I listened to country and rock because my dad plays it all the time. So I came across Jimmy Eat The World, Counting Crows, Nirvana and The White Stripes. And eventually these legends. I gotta go thank my old man for that.
Me rn
Looks that they are tripping during the assembly of an IKEA furniture :D
Ive watched this video at least twenty times now, and geez it just doesnt get old, its so strange and amazing:)
Mellinial is the last generation to really embrace this kind of music it seems.
zoomer here, I regularly listen to mgmt so nah millennials aren’t complete trash.
¡Esto si que es talento!
buen trabajo a MGMT
King Crimson- its Working
these videos are the best!
Great video guys!
Memories!!!!!
I thought this band had died. I started listening to them back when Oracular Spectacular was around and fresh, loved Congratulations, and today I found out they released a new album in 2013. Time to rediscover them and bring back all those memories. Like Weezer said "they make me want to go back there".
Andrew: *breaths
Prepubescent girls: OMG GAWD ANDREW IS SO KAWAII
and what abt it?
they’re right tho,,, ngl he’s hella cute
they do be right tho ;-;
I LOVE this video.
This song is marvellous, but yes you are right, the songs need "reading "
Reminds me of the movie Primer.
3:43 Oh my God. Look at how fucking adorable he is.
This song is actually sad as hell
BRILLIANT
This was a good time when music videos were creative and innovativing
4 years ago...
Bobby Flay Hahahahah. Carl Bias True. Chill...
People that take acid, love MGMT.
One of their top bops
Best song by MGMT, awesome vibe
this guy never gets old?
ITS BRIAN ENO, BRIAN ENO, BRIAN ENO!!!
WHAT DOES HE KNOW, WHAT DOES HE KNOW?
ShadowLink678 dips swords in metaphors yeah, but what does he know? you see him plant a forest, brian eno!
Brian, Peter, Joseph, John
Oh my. MGMT videos are my favorite TV show. I can watch episode upon episode and never get bored.
It's amazing! 3
Andrew in a skirt and eyeliner, yes.
But you know its not the same as love, love is only in your mind, and not your heart.
love this video clip!
Utter genius...well done
Andrew Andrew Andrew *-*
How will I know when its working right?
When my eyeballs feel like they are the size of the Andromeda Galaxy, that's when I know it's working.
in my opinion their best song by a long shot.
Beatles/Pink Floyd vibe ❤️
