Magdalena Bay - The Ballad of Matt & Mica (Official Audio)

[@pineappleman570]

This album is perfect. No skips. It honestly feels like it was made for me.

[@dineshsen442]

Every track kept me hooked! I could feel it in my soul!

most albums have winners and losers yall just superfans

​@wingdingdmetrius8025 heck yea. I'm a fan of music. But I'm a super fan of well-balanced, no skip albums 👏

REALIST SHI I HAVE EVER HEARD

[@garlicito]

The tempo change at 1:09 feels like opening your curtains and letting sunlight in. I'm grinning from ear to ear what a soulful song and beautiful album

[@pattmahiney]

You were NOT LYING 😍😍😍

[@janettplanett]

OMG YOURE SO RIGHT

[@josh-qj2zu]

that change blew my mind

[@katiedaniels9803]

perfect description, + with the build up

[@vincentlo7678]

Kinda makes me think of Another Ocean by Fleet Foxes, not quite the same mood but very liberating and unexpected, love it

[@asleepybear]

BANG BANG suddenly my number of streams for this album will be never ending

[@lio9935]

If you heard the entire album this track will catch your ears in a different way

[@mementomori8930]

I like how the same melody keep reappearing within the album little by little and then fully as a chorus in the end

[@CoryMck]

Very 'Desire: I want to Turn Into You'

[@andy.78]

Imaginal Disk is exactly what I want from mainstream pop music. Let's hope others in the industry recognize the insane talent and creativity that Matt & Mica have as producers!

[@Tinytunes-25]

Mainstream. Check out the Sabrina carpenter album for some mainstream pop. Or post malones new sell out record. Mag Bay isnt fully mainstream. They sound like they push further in the studio.

[@ahmdose]

​@thejtrax the new sabrina album is so bad this is peak tho

[@jorgeluiz8642]

RIGHT!?

[@_jud4s]

0:53 will always be my favorite part of this whole album, there’s just something about the sharpness of that bass with mica’s soft voice that makes my heart and ears SO HAPPY! i love this album so much, it’s been on repeat since it came out 🥰

[@kaded_]

this makes me want to cry it's so beautiful

[@Tyc9909]

The bang bang is so insanely catchy Just pops in my head at random times in the day

[@1nd3v]

IK BROOOO

I’ve had “Bang Bang and a happy ending” stuck in my head for three months now. Help.

ACTUALLY A PERFECT ALBUM!!! DEFINITELY ALBUM OF THE YEAR FOR ME SO FAR! I loved every second of this, what a journey. Thank you Magdalena Bay.

[@familynose1979]

peak album ngl strong contender for aoty😭🙏

[@BR-ms6te]

2:33 Just now noticed that Matt is on backing vocals

[@alanlj4432]

I really hope this song gets a music video with Mica and Matt and all the characters happyly dancing

[@ex.static]

Angel on a Satellite and The Ballad of Matt and Mica are like the endings and the credits in a movie, much like how Sun Bleached Flies and Strangers by Ethel Cain are to me. I fucking love albums that are narratively driven and thank the universe for letting me listen to such good music in my lifetime.

[@Tinytunes-25]

Come on yall lets do right by this group. . The cardigans were overlooked and underrated in their time. Lets give mag bay their love now!

[@marinebymistake]

Might be the most perfect album ending song ever

[@macwilson7948]

Straight up one of the best songs ever made

[@living0nlin3]

THE BEST ONE ON THE ALBUM 😭! The start will always scare me 🤣. This was a wonderful experience, no skips. I'll listen to this album on repeat during my trip.

[@dylanh333]

Yep, definitely buying this album!

[@thinmanjones5000]

I was thinking, that because this is the "Ballad of Matt and Mica," that the synth call-and-response at :53 is Matt responding to Mica, like how Ringo's drums in A Day in a Life are supposed to have some call-and-response with John's vocals.

[@ВасильКапшук]

also the name of this song immediately reminded me of "The Ballad of John and Yoko"

[@manx8825]

That’s exactly how I interpreted it! He’s speaking through the production, and maybe it’s my imagination but I feel like he’s in the backing vocals later in the song?

[@MrBaumGeo]

such a beautiful ending, or is it just the beginning?

[@Andrew-ow6fq]

Its like the album is partly about coming into a personal narrative/framework you share with billions of people online and the shift at the end is acknowledgement to the listener that their online stage presence isnt who they entirely are. that they dont fully control that presence either

[@Leoza246]

I’m not exaggerating when I say this is the greatest song ever made

[@weim6738]

I like the transition of the music in the album. Enough for there to be some entirely new thematics that still fits and says “Magdalena Bay”, while retaining electronic influences. Absolutely beautiful.

[@arielantoniorosenberger3336]

One of the STANDOUTS of the album for sure! beautiful!

[@xXOSMOSISXx1992]

What an incredible experience

[@delephantz]

OKAY I SEE YOU that is a thick synth and beat change

[@forevelyn]

this song just ties the whole album Together perfectly

[@chandhand6539]

Omg ! This is very 2000s Kylie Minogue coded. I'm obsessed.

[@thewittyusername]

No idea how you were able to link the two on that one 😅 how so?

[@chandhand6539]

@@thewittyusername Her voice reminds me a bit of Kylie's old songs. The production reminds me a bit of overpowered by Roisin Murphy.

[@MagdalenaSlay]

@@thewittyusername The author is right actually! They did listen to KM for pop concept album inspiration, along with Genesis as the rock inspo

[@mementomori8930]

there's an older video of them going to record store and mica bought kylie minogue album.

[@yes-ve5hp]

This song sounds like the ending of a espetacular show

this sh*t is unreal. never heard of your music until your new album came out..I have more than 800 album saved on apple music and Imaginal Disc is already at number 21. Thanks for this record I’m so obsessed

[@TheColonel2112]

They make music with love that’s the only way to explain it.

[@villadsbojesen4142]

If anyone is interested, the orchestral ending seems to be written in the style of the composer Alexander Scriabin, it reminds me of some of the themes from his 2nd symphony.

[@jmacmoe5031]

I'm definitely listening to this album for the foreseeable future! Album of the year for me

[@cravenshouse4546]

Everything about this album is huge and cinematic. Great stuff

[@AlejoOjel]

La primera parte del coro Matt canta con el sintetizador y en la segunda parte lo deja a un lado y se une en vocals. Eso me parece hermoso

[@kuilaat3183]

0:01 and it already sounds so pretty

[@leah9629]

perfect album oh my goodness

[@sulkyy3262]

THE CHORUS OF THIS SONG HAS THE SAME MELODY AS THE VERSE IN SHE LOOKED LIKE ME!

[@atticuslanderholm1516]

That melody is in like 5 different tracks on the album, not just she looked like me. The details and depth in this album are crazy

[@dimwitted-fool]

@@atticuslanderholm1516what other songs?? I’m just discovering the album and getting really excited seeing how much there is to dig into. I gotta find this melody it’s so catchyyyy

[@replinter]

Fácilmente uno de los mejores discos de esta década.

Slept on this album for too long just because their last albums just werent for me. This album is a 10/10 from beginning to end. Phenominal.

the best song ever

pqp esse synth dos 0:56 quase caio da rede

You guys are the greatest. I look forward to many more prime examples throughout this thing called life. Much love, and many blessings forever, and always my dear Magdalena Bay 🙏💖❤🧡💛💚💙💜🌟🌠

The Ballad of Matt & Mica Magdalena Bay Caminho longo pra lugar nenhum Dois anos longe de casa A maioria dos dias não valem nada Eu sigo chutando a pedra Voe alto, cheio de vontade Além do padrão É por isso que sou o melhor Eu sigo brilhando a pedra Ooh Ooh Ooh La-la, la-la-la-la Coração aberto, clichê antigo Dois jovens em uma cidade nova, baby É a minha vez? Fama de pequeno porte Bang-bang e um final feliz Ao longo do caminho, nas minhas veias Nada comum Nada comum Oh! É meu coração? É meu nome? La love e uma canção pra levar Matando o tempo todo dia Bang-bang, sem fim É minha sorte? É meu destino? Nada comum Nada comum La-la, la-la-la-la Coração aberto, clichê antigo Dois jovens em uma cidade nova, baby É a minha vez? Fama de pequeno porte Bang-bang e um final feliz Ao longo do caminho, nas minhas veias Nada comum Nada comum Oh! É meu coração? É meu nome? La love e uma canção pra levar Matando o tempo todo dia Bang-bang, sem fim É minha sorte? É meu destino? Nada comum Nada comum
