big floppa

[@Calz20Videos]

I need that I need like 14 drummers all playing every drum possible and a whole band’s worth of guitar and bass players for every drummer Then will singing at front

They always say less is better, but this performance says otherwise

[@nicholasevans4244]

i think you just described king gizzard

[@lukeberrie3942]

At least they had more than 4 minutes to perform this time lol

[@MrWorsterLike]

NUH-UH! you're from the universe where car seat headrest performed bodys on fallon???? No way!!!! I thought the mandela effect was a hoax until corn virus came in and depopulated Will Toledo's hometown in Virginia and now I have proof from you! In my universe, the Chinese government actually took the video off the internet except for their video sharing platform Billibilli. Anyway watch my shitty youtube video about the whole thing /watch?v=YQW41Jtgeew

[@frankito8102]

Yep. The songs tempo Is sped up tho

[@JuliaRoshambo]

Whenever that opening guitar riff comes in, whether it’s from the original song, the new one, live versions, recorded on an iPhone or mixed beautifully like on kexp, I just feel good. It sounds like when you’ve been far from home for a long time and you’re driving back and you see the name of your town on the highway sign and you know you’re not far. It’s hopeful and makes you wanna dance. It’s familiar but exciting. It’s fast and choppy but it’s comforting. It just makes me feel okay.

[@MrOwennorris]

oh true

[@andrea10000]

i cried

[@HolyToledo7]

Very well said. Only an artist could describe something so eloquently and make you think such vivid thoughts.

[@jamiecal11]

sounds like something from Glee.

Every song on this album makes me cry for some reason. I'm 40 years old ffs... but I remember being young... these songs make me remember maybe too well...

[@Phoebe457]

Hell yeah! Godspeed, man!

[@zacktarle2041]

Hell. I think a lot of the things it touches on are pretty universal. Being young is quite rough but half the reason is because your coming into awareness of the fundamental horror of the universe and that shit never really goes away

[@helloismabye]

You're still young dude

[@JohnSmith-dd8bf]

If I was 40 I would kill myself

[@beameh2506]

I think that, till the date, this is the best live version of Bodys uploaded. Everyone looks so committed and like giving all they have in their performances. It gives me the feels of a huge amount of energy. I mean, even Seth is dancing

[@KinkajouOneTwo]

and it still is!

[@ethan2k297]

DOOOOOOON'T YOOOOOU REALISEEEEE

[@k0walsk]

Love how the singer and the drummer communicate in this performance! So cool how they have capacity left to enjoy themselves while making the actual music

[@bacht4799]

k0walsk the drummer is the guy you want to have with you at house parties.. he is that guy who says we should play drunken Mario Cars and sing Take On Me by Aha when the party starts to get boring.. fun and a good energy.. 😊

[@vero-kd8vg]

Andrew has such a chaotic energy I love him

[@tdjhue]

I feel weirdly validated whenever I see a band I like on KEXP

[@hazuinf]

Like LCD Soundsystem covering The Strokes

[@billypilgrim1]

Spot-on!

[@ethansics9400]

Not gonna lie, to me it sounds more like The Strokes covering LCD Soundsystem

[@iand4374]

@@ethansics9400 honestly Will sounds like a mix of James Murphy from LCD's first album and Julian Casablancas

[@71hammyman]

To me, it sounds like both of them, if they wanted to actually create good music

[@luisbrindis3080]

For me, it sounds like LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes and, a little bit, Pulp.

[@maximepronovost3537]

3:05 can't believe no one wrote about that sweet guitar lick...

I love that part ❤

This is one of my favorite songs of all time.

[@gagefraw3182]

I’m just happy this one is tuned

[@MetallicaFan5591]

This is literally some fucking work here man. 10/10 some of the best music I’ve ever heard

[@Max-ce1ok]

i never want to stop listening to this

[@MichaelTurner856]

I've played it like 4 times after hearing it on my 5th. I'd heard the recording but I'm still fairly new to the song and it's growing on me!

[@wolfmots6278]

These guys just dont miss. They release hit after hit. I feel so blessed to have a band like this

[@SticksTheFox]

This song is so new to me yet it feels like I heard it thousands of lifetimes ago. Its got that false nostalgic memory vibe that I love. It gives me emence comfort from a few minutes of lovely sounds.

[@m4ckey]

Grant, Gianni, and Henry really add another layer to this on top of CSH already being great. This is one of my favorite live videos ever

[@dumpsterbassist]

Yeah, but to be honest I like Ethan's vocals more

[@famusliz]

when will sang, “i just wanna hold you,” i felt that.

[@Boggleforever]

I searched this on KEXP after the Fallon performance to no avail and days later this comes out. Cheryl knows what we want.

[@BreakfastRecords]

Good lord this is so incredibly brilliant.

[@deprivalli]

this had been quite a torturing month of waiting for this, but i'm absolutely at my happiest now !!!!!! how does car seat headrest keep improving and getting better, even when it seems that there's nothing to improve even more, i will never know. thanks so much for yr art, boys. thanks so much, kexp. what a time to be alive

I want to sing this really badly to my lover and listen to it on repeat until i got crazy

That’s not what I meant to say at all I mean, I’m sick of meaning I just wanna hold you But that’s not what I wanted to say at all I mean, I’m sick of meaning I just wanna hold you [Break] Is it the chorus yet? No. It’s just a building of the verse So when the chorus does come, it’ll be more rewarding [Verse 2] I would speak to you in song But you can’t sing As far as I’m aware Though everyone can sing As you are well aware I keep so quiet It’s hard to tell I’m alive [Pre-Chorus 1] Everybody is swinging their hips (now) Everybody is giving the waitress tips Everybody’s dancing all of the dances Everybody’s dancing every dance right now! [Chorus 1] Those are you got some nice shoulders I'd like to put my hands around them I'd like to put my hands around them [Verse 3] I have enough trouble controlling my own limbs Stealing alcohol from our parents and grandparents There’s no devil on one shoulder and angel on the other They’re just two normal people [Refrain] These are the people that I get drunk with These are the people that I fell in love with These are the people that I get drunk with These are the people that I fell in love with [Verse 4] But if you keep drawing my eyes on your (These are the people that I get drunk with) Hands and talking to the other, let's pull out (These are the people that I fell in love with) The nail with the back of the hammer because this (These are the people that I get drunk with) One has grown old and bitter - (These are the people that I fell in love with) [Bridge] Well so what? We're young We're thin (most of us) We're alive (most of us) [Chorus 2] Don’t you realize our bodies could fall apart at any second? I am terrified your body could fall apart at any second [Chorus 1] Those are you got some nice shoulders I'd like to put my hands around them I'd like to put my hands around them [Verse 5] We can get real horny And keep messing around We can keep real quiet Won’t be making no sound I’ll try my best Not to touch your face Next time can we Please meet at my place? [Pre-Chorus 2] And I know that I don’t talk a lot But I know that you don’t care a lot As long as we move our bodies around a lot We’ll forget that we forgot how to talk
