MGMT - People In The Streets (Official Audio)

[@johannes_286]

THIS ALBUM IS SO GOOD

[@4tranVault]

It's difficult to describe in words how this song makes me feel. I lost my best friend years ago to a car accident. MGMT was one of his all time favorite bands. Died cause the girl driving him home from work was drunk. Hit a tree and he was ejected and gone like that. Makes me sad that he won't get to hear this but every time I listen to it I can see his face and think of the amazing times we did have. This song was meant for you Nick. Love you man. I'll think of you always bud ❤

[@Toroidalzpe]

He's heard it

[@layellow7041]

I came to say what Toro said. MGMT transcends it all. He’s heard it.

[@4tranVault]

@@Toroidalzpe Sorry it took me while to reply but this meant so fucking much to me to read this. You don't even know me I'm just some random dude on youtube but you went out of your way to help me out even though you don't know me. I know it seems like such a small thing to do but you made me cry for so fucking long bro thank you so much for this. Maybe it's a grandiose idea but this album really feels like it's bringing together people of our generation and maybe it can do some healing. Just cause I think a lot of us could use a good healing phase. Cause you cant get better unless you start healing.

[@4tranVault]

@@layellow7041 Thank you both so much. You don't have any idea how much this meant to me. You guys are some incredible fucking people you seriously deserve all the good karma points in the world

[@memmora]

Best track on the album! Well done MGMT, long live MGMT!

[@Damimartinez783]

Concuerdo

[@csilt]

My favorite too, good taste. Amazing how his vocals just float in the mix

[@BrendanMacWade]

I want to say it's Nothing Changes, but that damn good bass and weird structure makes me say People In The Streets.

[@wyrmking]

In the last months i have feel completely alone, even when surrounded by family. Eventually came to understand that friends are temporal people around so being alone and loveless is a constant in my life. Loss of Life brings a so much needed confort for me, it relieves my sorrow and stays by my side when I feel no one else is does. Thanks MGMT for the gift of many happy memories and the company in my dark times.

[@joyboyzaki]

This song feels like someone hugging you during your existential crisis

[@alexandrafreitas7528]

How does MGMT continue to sound so fresh with every new album? This sound is definitely a bit weird to me, but with each listen it’s just getting better and better. Please never stop making music!

[@i_shoot_things]

Fresh, fully agree. But somehow nostalgic and familiar as well. Not from this time....somehow...

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

I was thinking they had all this pressure on them years ago and they’ve escaped that in recent years, as true artists they never owed anyone anything because they made some hit songs. This album is very real and well put together, it has a great simple universal message and it has a great less is more aesthetic to it

[@tamie341]

This song has a very similar sound to the band Metronomy. Much different subject matter but the sound reminded me of them instantly. The song Mick Slow in particular

[@RockMusicEnjoyer]

"Weird, but gets better with each listen" is every MGMT song

[@RockMusicEnjoyer]

​@@tamie341now you point that out, I do notice it. I guess they're both indie pop/rock bands with a mildly psychedelic sound so that's bound to lead to some similarities.

[@troyguard3601]

Can’t describe in a comment, but holy hell. Had a hard moment and opened up KZbin to find one of my favorite bands on the planet just put a song out that was exactly what I needed to hear. I love you guys thank you for still making music MGMT

[@knbhd]

@@MiahTucker-vg9se same, glad ur feeling better :)

[@cameronwilson4558]

After a few listens, i think this is probably my favorite track on the album. The lyrics, instrumentstion with the fretless bass, fantastic sounding finger picked acoustic guitar chords, vocal performance, a few hints of lap slide guitar with some reverb and effects, bright surfy electric guitars, crazy drum fills and the always immaculately produced qnd mastered synths and drum machines instruments intertwined with acoustic instruments that swell into something more and more beautiful as the song continues is so present here. MGMT in their best form here songwriting and executing here. Great track

[@Lokeacola]

Reminds me of the bottomline by depeche mode. Similar ensemble soundscape. Both amazing songs in my opinion

[@yfsworld9909]

[@Camilothegodfather]

Loving this song, been wishing for a new MGMT album since Little Dark Age. I love that their songs always have something to say, a statement or a message and many times a meaningful one.

[@tristianlarkin638]

I wish the artist could see the joy on my 1 year old sons face when Kids or Time to Pretend came on. You really feel the emotion in the hits back then and you still carry that in your music today. Great work you guys.

[@AndresLicari]

Life keeps on going Showing you things that you can’t unsee In the sense of unknowing Why anything happens to be And just as the sun comes out again Something is blocking the light But it’s all right The inside’s still glowing Telling the heart what it wants to hear But what if it’s only lies Twisted apart by fear? That’s when the brain waves goodbye From the front of the train Where the coal is burned And you know the refrain Without hearing a sound So you sing it again ‘Cause you won’t learn From the people in the streets Wheels left the ground Hoping to fly past the road ahead Components start breaking down And sooner or later you’re dead And just when the wool goes over the eyes Somebody moves you along But it’s all wrong And someone complained that the fire was out So they shut off the rain and let the flames return And they had to rename all the tricks in the book Now I’m starting to doubt Where I once stood And there’s people in the streets There’s people in the streets People in the streets There’s people in the streets End of the line In real time I stopped clinging to what’s mine They’re marching to the beat of a different drum Going over receipts with a magnifier The people in the streets aren’t singing along ‘Cause they’re probably sick and they’re probably tired I listen for the sound of the starting gun But when you’re living the dream And your ears are bad The people in the streets aren’t part of the fun And I’d go and join them but I’m so scared Of the people in the streets The people in the streets People in the streets The people in the streets

It's pretty badass, sounds like something from a late 80s or 90s Prog Rock band, gives me Rush vibes for sure. MGMT fucking killed this album it's a slow burn you play this album twice the second time after smoking a fat joint or some hash oil and just take in all the sounds listening to this through hi fidelity headphones ( Beyerdynamic DT900 Pro X)

I’d be upset, but certainly understand given the amount of time that has passed and this reduced sound is why only 66,000 views took place in two weeks. It’s okay. I think this song is a treasure. Go hard for the next album and make it together in person and do it next year. If you want to really capture lighting in a bottle twice. Redemption of MGMT.

[@alexandrafreitas7528]

I think this song in a good way makes us remind that we all suffer in its own dimension and we need to remind us that with simple gestures ( people in the streets) can also gives hope on life (chorus on the final sang). By my personal opinion this makes me think that we are all the same like the people in the street. And so has this makes me chills all the time.

[@Sektion9]

People in the streets to me are the unseen revolutions happening around us slowly getting louder.

[@jaredgutierrez7966]

Melancolía y depresión pura 😎❤️‍🔥🚀

[@Mr.Player98]

Nada que ver igual. El tema habla de un tema más profundo. Como el echo de ver a la gente en la calle en otro mundo, valga la redundancia y vos desde otra perspectiva, a veces quisieras sumarte a ellos "vivir como la gente en la calle" en automático, pero sabés que es incompatible con tu forma de ver el mundo y sentís el rechazo,por eso habla de querer como alejarse a la vez. Muy bueno, sobre todo para los incomprendidos que hay en las calles, los que están presentes y los que están en una laburando para crecer como persona.

[@just_shred_it]

[@GoAsCloseAsYouCan]

The people in the streets represent social change. This is basically for the aging Boomers that have found themselves turning to their outdated ideals and even the generation after that, all the way to the millennials that are not willing to join the people in the streets. This is a true ideal to the “Loss of Life” album theme. Wonderfully thought of and produced in song. A+

[@futurereflections4097]

I hear it as being about nonconformity. Things aren’t working for the protagonist because he constantly feels like an outsider, seeing the debate between people as pointless.
