Lyrics:
If pain was a color to paint on you
Your heart would be the color blue
Be a painting, hung up there 'til your body met your head
Which were made of silver
You are the one they call Jesus Christ
Who didn't know no rock and roll
Just a mission made of guns that they give boys in Vietnam
But they always told him
There's a madness in us all
There's a madness in us all
So
Who broke the rules?
Who broke the rules?
Who broke the rules?
They said
Every one of you will never try to lend a hand
When the policemen don't understand
Oh, you boys, all you boys
Think you're so American
Girls, all you girls
They're so American
He may not be born of this land
But he was born of this world
He was born of all the mothers
And the colors of our brothers
And the love that we sent him
You are the one they call Jesus Christ
You may not know no rock and roll
There may not be a heaven or a place in which to send you
But you know in the end
There's a madness in us all
There's a madness in us all
There's a madness in us all
There's a madness in us all
So
Who broke the rules?
Who broke the rules?
Who broke the rules?
They say
Every one of you will never try to lend a hand
When the policemen don't understand
Boys, all you boys
Think you're so American
Girls, all you girls
Yeah, you're so American
There's two eyes for every one of us
But somebody got there first and took them all
There's two eyes for every one of us
But somebody got there first and took them all
Man, oh, man
Think you're so American
Man, oh, man
Yeah, you're so American
Man, oh, man
You think you're so American
Man, oh, man
Yeah, you're so American
There's two eyes for every one of us
But somebody got there first and took them all
There's two eyes for every one of us
But somebody got there first and took them all

Portugal. The Man took 2017 by the horns after a considerably long gap, between records. They spent years working on an album called Gloomin + Doomin before later developing what would become known as their latest studio album WOODSTOCK. Fate struck lead singer, John Gourley, twice. First, John got some parental tough love from his old man. “What’s taking so long to finish the album?,” John’s dad asked. “Isn’t that what bands do? Write songs and then put them out?” The whole thing got John thinking about why the band seemed to be stuck on a musical elliptical machine from hell and more importantly, about how to get off of it. Second, John found his dad’s ticket stub from the original 1969 Woodstock music festival, which ultimately knocked something loose in his head. He realized that, in the same tradition of bands from that era, Portugal. The Man needed to speak out about the world crumbling around them.
With these two ideas converging, the band made a seemingly bat-shit-crazy decision: they took all of the work they had done for the three years prior and threw it out. The band went back to the studio - working with John Hill, Danger Mouse and longtime collaborator Casey Bates. In this new-found creative territory, the album that became WOODSTOCK rolled out naturally from there. Fast forward to present day and it was impossible to escape the album’s first single “Feel It Still,” which dominated the charts and radio airwaves in 2017. The 6X Platinum Certified hit reigned at #1 at nearly all radio formats, including Top 40, as well as Alternative, where the song held the chart’s top spot for a mind-blowing 20 weeks, breaking the record for most weeks at #1. Yes, you read that right. 5 guys from Wasilla, Alaska who have played nearly 1,500 shows in their career broke Alternative radio records and had a #1 song at Pop radio. Billboard Magazine even went as far as to call the song, “the unexpected rock crossover hit of 2017,” while Rolling Stone listed it as “one of the best songs of 2017.” AND THEN…the band kicked off 2018 by winning a GRAMMY Award for “Feel It Still.” WOODSTOCK has since been certified gold, as has their second single “Live In The Moment”.

Every song on this album is incredible.
Right?! Like I heard it for the first time and I was like 😳
For real. Lol.
On god.
That is correct.
A good taste in music brought me here.
BrandausBlog ME TOO
Are you still alive?
@@ravikantshah9454 yeah, I am, thanks for asking!🌈
12 years old and the song is still amazing
agreed :)
This song has the exact amount of melancholy that i need.
the beginning of this song totally reminds me of Space Oddity by David Bowie "Ground control to major tom"
/watch?v=7p5rEDWeogo
hey, listen to this acoustic by ptm
holy shiet you made my whole day sharing this. thank you Gilberto!
Also sounds alot like The Flaming Lips "Do you realize"
funny I was gonna say it reminds me of the background melody in Moonage Daydream in the verses.
shortyrags
oh wow, listen to Once Was One and then Moonage Daydrem
Gourley is really inspired by The Beatles and Bowie lel
HBO's Enlightened is amazing. SOLID writing by Mike White. Laura Dern is awesome. I enjoy the narration most of all. Oh, this song rocks!
...and this is so unfair!!! "Enlightened" is probably one of the best shows that make you want to become better and change not only your life but also the world!!!!
This is probably my favorite song in the whole album! By the way I've made this comment on every song!!
Where have been hiding, this is brilliant, reminds me of Bowie, listen to not only the words, but equally pay as much attention to the music,
the replay value of this album is fucking phenomenal
I think its about looking at your country and yourself from the outside your borders. They have named themselves after another country which is interesting too. Its an intriguing band really like it.
Till we are all Enlightened...Cheers to an amazing show, that remind us of what really matters.
Saw them live a couple months ago, met Jason afterward.. asked him if they're going to be at Coachella and he said that they usually do every other year. And with this album out now they'll definitely be there! FUCK YES.
It’s giving me nostalgia to other music I used to listen to
Heard this song on the radio today while i was driving down US 1 towards Key West, Fl in my Mustang convertible with the top down. Possibly the greatest moment of my life
I want to listen ptm in radio too!
i promise im gonna buy the album gotta support the next legends of the music world.
Jesus would certainly rock and roll to this song !
Raised American PORTUGUESE in spirit ready to embrace all that is to be PTM
13th anniversary of the album 🤩
No words can describe how incredible this song and album are.
These guys are great - best band discovery I've made in quite a while.
I will never forget the first time I heard you guys, it was in 2012 and I was in Guinea. Nobody understood the hype my brother and I had for this very far rock band from Alaska haha ! Still a fan and no regrets
Thank you for saving music ❤️😢
how did i not hear these guys long ago, new to me in 2020 and luv it
this song just makes me happy, specially for some reason the fishing rod sound effect, it just makes me smile every time
Old, broken paradigm. That's the nice thing about paradigms, though, with practice and reflection, they change from being the determined eyes through which you see the world, to the glasses you quietly put on to explore a different mode of sight and insight.
Huge fan of Portugal. The Man. Even a bigger fan of respectful disagreement and non-vitriolic discussion [even if it IS on youtube].
Very good album.
Best album of PTM
This album is fucking beatiful
I've lived in Alaska all my life except for my time in the service which took me to a lot of different states, and although they all had their nice places I would never trade them for the Land of The Midnight Sun! I have found that for the most part, we tend to treat each other much better here then anywhere else. Just my opinion, I'm sure people from others states feel the same about where they live. BTW, this song is fresh and new.
I randomly borrowed the CD from the library just 'cause I thought the designs' cover looked great. I'll always trust my design tastes. Love their music!
I FUCKING LOVE that show! I hope it gets a third season! That finale was AMAZING!!!!
What a great song....simply amazing
I love the sound...
I'm low-key talking myself into agreeing with the meaning...
Exactly. "There's a madness in us all."
first it was Foster the People now is Portugal. The Man, they have my heart and my ears :)!
I know, Amazing...Wow Mike White and Laura Dern they kick ass...Best show ever
he means no matter which music taste you got
you can listen to this and you like it(?) :-)
Yeah Alaska isn't so bad guys, i've been born and raised here and the scene is pretty good as well. my band, the gates of pantheon, just got signed, and I can't wait till were out there doin our thing.
So American and SOOOOO GOOD
most epic song eva glad I found this band
I wish I had my own money. I would buy this one hundred times, and then I would go to all of their concerts.
first heard ptm in pacsun while shopping for some turquoise courds ;) totally hooked on them,, they're SOOOOOOO good.
heard this song at the america's cup in SF today! awesome song!
I love when great songs like this one get stuck in my head :) This album has totally brightened up my days!
Thanks man
Yay for real music!
i thought the same 1st time i heard it or the first 3 or maybe 12. i guess it kinda grows on you
This is great.
sick song!!!! The best i have heard in days
I watch it. Love it.
I LOVE THIS SONG
leading the revolution of high standards of music from major labels
Not so. I watch it, and it's damn amazing. Wish more people would watch.
I happened to catch the first episode this season and by ep. 2 I was hooked. It's too bad it didn't last but at least it ended well. Maybe it's just going to have to be our little secret.
This is great!
thanks for upload very nice
I am in love.
well...this is quite good don't cha think?
IamZren89 YAS
Starcraft references and my favorite band....nice
who on God's green earth would dislike this song
Can't wait till VOODOO Fest!!!!
Good job ebay !
the problem is... some people gonna start to say .....Now this band sound like this one or like that one mmm ..hey people just relax and enjoy the music
You gotta watch the first season too!!! It's pure awesomeness!!! I wished HBO gave it another year so that Mike White would actually make it like a trilogy (as he said!!) :)
Okay, this account is probably inactive but what in the hell are you talking about?
I think he means that you don't need a special taste to like this song, anyone (Metal, Rock, Dubstep, Pop, etc... fan) likes it, I think that also justifies the number of thumbs up on his comment.
@misterCLASSACT
it's a reference to Nick "Tasteless" Plott. He is a StarCraft 2 announcer who lives in Korea. He likes Portugal The Man and is a major figure in the e-sports community.
reference to Nick "Tasteless" Plott, big fan of the band, who announces for Starcraft. Chillllll
To dislike this song would be...
unamerican'
the beginning of this song is 100% Red Hands by the Dear Hunter lol sheitttt
lol very close, same chords too haha... thanks for sharing that piece it pretty good.
"Enlightened" is so good--it's funny this was written for a different HBO show which isn't nearly as good, IMHO. seems sad, but this really seems like the end of a two-season miniseries, Amy's clash with Abaddonn was the center of the show. i hate the idea of this show going away, but in a sense i wish they would leave it with such a powerful end.
Ground control !
!!! Gran gran rolotototota
im pretty sure i taste this
It's probably done for as a show but it was good.
born to love and accept but before we could even voice that someone came and blinded us by lies and false beliefs. It's just trying to say love everyone.
I am here because of Enlightened too, perhaps we are not alone after all =).
Thank Alaska for Portugal. The Man
go get the album now!!1
💙
i love you i love you i love you!
this song makes me wanna go surf
The one kinda breakdown part (theres a madness in us all) sounds like Rush, which is ironic cause theyre canadian, regardless this is my favorite album of 11
I already am your friend!
@MsbShared
Is the next step hearing them everywhere you AREN'T?
GROUND CONTROL
Using the context clues provided in these comments, I am beginning to think that he means this in some sort of positive, starcraft-related way that we plebeians may never fully understand.
@wump17 So did I! That's what led me to search for the song.
Next Rolling stones.. !!
2:01✌🏻
I LOVE PORTUGAL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> THE MAN
flaming lips, anyone? Very influenced by Wayne Coyne I would imagine. Dig this song, for sure.
@longshot4life88 The only one who misses AKA M80 The Wolf? I doubt it.
La mejor banda que jamás pude escuchar :D
This tune definitely borrows a couple of bits from "Space Oddity," but they make it their own.
Bowie is the greatest
You say as if your eyes weren't stolen with the rest. ;I
'They said everyone of you will never try to lend a hand when the policemen don't understand' - This is you
I wish the show wasn't sold out that night =[
CHRIS JOSLIN BROUGHT BE HERE!
@sasukeandtomatoes buy the limited edition vinyl
