LYRICS:
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

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

[@CuddleMushroom]

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 ❤

He's heard it

[@layellow7041]

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

[@CuddleMushroom]

@@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.

[@CuddleMushroom]

@@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

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

[@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.

[@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

[@brabiz67]

Major Peter Gabriel - So vibes. Also the song with Chris. Wish more of the album had been like this. Love the Fretless bass on this.

[@otgw5347]

Oh man this song has Kate Bush vibes written all over it! That percussion at 3:23 is so Peter Gabriel. MGMT never disappoints

that bass line

[@b4ssfunk3d]

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 just put on headphones and took a rip before clicking this as my first taste of the new record and the keys and drums and bass production with the end vocals melting my brain. This song is so good. Reminds me of the bottom line by depeche mode. You need to listen to that if you havent.

@@filler7359 lol to clarify, pink Floyd did the same type of chant ending on Fearless

[@GetAsCloseAsYouCan]

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.

[@augustocesarmusic1661]

Viva MGMT

[@geusefrava960]

the intro kinda reminds me of primal scream's "keep your dreams" but better. And then completely opens up to something else entirely, and it's amazing.

[@GetAsCloseAsYouCan]

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.

[@GetAsCloseAsYouCan]

@@futurereflections4097 you can hear what you want, but they spoke about this record at length. I used their words.

[@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.

[@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.
