This is the best video I have ever seen. That is the power of B-roll.

Saw these guys live a few years back and they were the all time most awesome band nice to see nothing has changed and they are still amazing!

[@aniballopez61]

When ELO meets Supertramp,awsome.

[@dyl0n]

Fruit Bats are the real deal. Absolute quality!

[@GWade1217]

I thought someone found an old secret BeeGees song somewhere, or maybe a new song from Cage the Elephant…but no, Fruit Bats! LoL. U know how many documentaries on fruit bats I had to sift through before I finally found this video, and still didn’t know if it was the song I heard on the radio cause the video seemed like one of the damn documentaries I’d been sifting through! LoL. Well worth the search, though.

Bwahahahaha 😂 Shazam led me to them easily.

This is a brilliant song. It always reminds me of my son who died while I was discovering this. Very bittersweet

[@tylerstoll8201]

Guitar riff at 2:12 sounds like Smashing Pumpkins “I’m Going Crazy” (hidden track at the end of Gish, 2:10 on the song Daydream)🤔

[@jessemoynan4332]

You know you're never gonna feel as right Than in your gold past life A ship of paper on a sea of fire Back to your gold past life Helplessly staring at stagnant stars What was this thing that took your spirit away? Head on the bug splattered hood of your car You pray Breathlessly calling up your old love Why did she have to take your essence from you? Life's been rougher but lately it's pretty rough For you You used to dance in the night With a girl you loved so much You used to look her in the eyes as the night birds sang You know you're never gonna feel as right Than in your gold past life A ship of paper on a sea of fire Back to your gold past life You know you're never gonna feel as right Than in your gold past life Make me your gold past life Helplessly staring at a cumulus What caused this flood that washed your courage away? With your heart in a knot you cry for love and loss For all of us You used to stare into the void With the love of your life You used to whisper in her ear "Little butterfly" You know you're never gonna feel as right Than in your gold past life A ship of paper on a sea of fire Back to your gold past life You know you're never gonna feel as right Than in your gold past life A ship of paper on a sea of fire Back to your gold past life Back to your gold past life Back to your gold past life Back to your gold past life
