@Ronnie Manila! Although the bassist sat down a lot backstage and took off her shoes and socks only for her to put it back on when they started playing lol
3:36. É simplesmente genial e emotivo essa bateria: Ele abre o hit-hat junto com a batida da caixa e progride, eventualmente, como se fosse um fade-in de "chops" no hit-hat, até abri-lo e imediatamente fechá-lo, encerrando com um snare. Que som gostoso de ser ouvido, simplesmente sensacional. A música que mais gosto dessa banda, dentre tantas outras que igualmente amo. Um abraço do Brasil =)
In the 70's I was listening to Brazilian artists Airto Moreira & Flora Purim. I couldn't always understand Brazilian lyrics, either. Sure sounds GOOD, tho!🇺🇸❤️🤍💙大象體操☯️🌺🌸
Wow I can't believe it. I just got back from SXSW. I not only did I see Elephant gym twice but I got to hang out with them and got an LP signed. I don't think I will have any issue remembering this song now lol

i think the lyric is talking about even feeling lost for a long time that you got used to be so, it's not too late to find where to go cause you are still on the midway.

Thank you!!
Thank you!
Ur a saint
Thanks a lot
我是來自香港的朋友，前兩天碰巧在台東旅行，在鐵花村那邊看見有演出就隨心進去看了。謝謝您們為我旅途中送上中途這首歌，回到香港後我依然在kkbox 聽你們的歌。在世界中的小角落聽到這種感動覺得很窩心，相信中途只是你們的中途，很期待你們日後的作品！
我的故事跟你一模一樣😂香港人去了台東旅行然後就在鐵花村邂逅了大象
我是日本人、我在台灣學中文的時候、我聽過這個。我喜歡這個歌(^^
Hello,from Japan.
I knew them just before on the radio and I found.
Their sound is so nice!
Wow, the guitarist is standing. Never thought I'd see the day
If you look at any of their other videos the guitarist is always sitting, at least when they play live. Idk about their music videos.
@Ronnie saw them play live recently, the guy was standing up the whole time lol (except when he was playing keyboards)
@Ronnie Manila! Although the bassist sat down a lot backstage and took off her shoes and socks only for her to put it back on when they started playing lol
the best math band i ever hear. Really waiting the day u guys arrive to south america
No idea where I first heard this song, but it was saved on my Spotify and I’m so glad that I rediscovered it.
This so is so catchy and beautiful
I am almost speechless. I love this song so much. Everything is perfect.
おかえりなさい！Elephant Gym！！！またあなた達の音楽を聴くことができて本当に嬉しい！！！
歌詞全然わかんないけど、メロディとリンクしてることは伝わります。最高
everyone should know about this band dude they're so good
Beautiful technique and songwriting.
很久沒再領略到數字搖滾的魅力，謝謝大象體操丟出這樣一支好貨。

貝斯一出來 歌就活了 真的是太讚了~~
Spotify recommended me this song and I'm so grateful.
Never thought this band was from Taiwan, so cool.
Love from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

好みな音しか流れていない感じ
こういう方々にセンスが良いという言葉と称賛を送りたいです
I feel like this is math rock meets city pop, and it works absolutely wonderfully
Pleeeeeeeese visit Korea! What a great pleasure to meet such a great band!
混入了人聲
這是旅途的節奏:)
Don't stop your steps.

I don't know why, but that bass line at 2:17 kind reminds me of the bass line from the song Smooth Operator from Big Daddy Kane.
Eu amo essa banda
Beautiful! Hello from Pittsburgh PA USA
los amo
I would like a translation of the lyrics, I love to know what the song is about - but I like the groove :D
Robert Pennycook
I tried.
太誠實
too honest
卻怕諷刺
but I'm scared of sarcastic words
畏懼停滯
afraid to stay still
可腳下的路不一致
but the roads under these feet aren't matched
風景相似
the views looks alike
想去的地方是
and the place i want to go is…
是未知
it has been unknownly
漫漫長日
long, long days
曾幾何時
can't really tell when was it
太習慣失落的樣子
that I got used to be losting
即便如此，一切不算太遲。
even so, it hasn't been too late.
i think the lyric is talking about
even feeling lost for a long time that you got used to be so, it's not too late to find where to go cause you are still on the midway.
The best song for travelling
