LYRICS
Is it a friend, is it a lie
You told yourself just to get by
Inching towards an end
Letters in rows, air in a phone
Weaving a story nobody knows
And even you won’t read
Is it even a thing
(Living behind your eyes)
that you’ve been wondering
(Different paths through your mind)
How you keep it inside
(Charting alternate lives)
And sit through the ride
(That you never will find)
Every minute, though
You hold out
Waiting for something to break
You’re holding out waiting for somebody’s sake
But you don’t know who
If you wanted to get around
Taking the easy route
You did it up
Now that you’ve headed out
I wonder who you know
All of the joys, all the mistakes
A family exalts, you couldn’t even fake
Who knows which is worse
Was it even a thing
(Living behind your eyes)
That you were wondering
(All those paths ‘cross your mind)
How you kept it inside
(Charting alternate lives)
And sat through the ride
(That you never could find)
Who were you thinking of
It’s not about us
But what about us
It’s not about you, is it
But isn’t it…
In the end it was evident
Who you were thinking of
But if you went
Out of the arms of love
Then I wonder who you know
It was just hypothetical
Looking from up above
Now that you know
These aren’t the ones you love
I wonder who you know

Still the best Music Video (Music and Video) on KZbin.

[@kirillblinichkin7337]

This is what modern popular music lacks to be called music.

[@wahtu_kbga]

It's not fair that you can sing too, man. Knock it off.

[@FusionHowie]

THE only positive out of the Pandemic is finding out about Michael League /Snarky Puppy/ Ground Up Music and Becca Stevens. THANK you for being alive the same time as myself. Purchase Michael League's album and Becca's Wonderbloom, its life changing amazing ! Peace from Detroit MI.

[@noelc3984]

Add Jacob Collier to your list and I'm right there with you. Latest Michael League offerings are all incredible, this is no exception.

[@stevenmandalis8393]

....Hear Hear !!....FusionHowie.....hearing tonite 7pm 3.8.23...staying/gleaning all positives.....from here!!!.....

[@MrSteelyDaniel]

2 years on and still loving this amazing song.. such fantastic, original, thought provoking music.

[@achokarlos]

Your album definately has "something", but never really doubt about that, just realizing thats it. Thank YOU for let us enjoy your ART.

[@benitofni]

Man, this album is beyond expectations. An instant classic and what a wonderful sound production and mastering.

[@Eric1396]

This is disturbingly good.

[@nickman9639]

I have been listening to this beautiful song on repeat all day. Listening to it just makes me pleasantly insightful.

[@charlescabellon]

This is the kind of pop that i really enjoy listening. Keep it going Mike, this is what the world needs. Much Love & Respect

[@emberarc]

Strong Louis Cole influence can be heard.

[@kalintonev]

High above the blatant today pop. And for that is banished. Lucky for us to feed our senses here with gold.

[@SuperCele]

Between Bowie and Gabriel..but with something really fresh … there is still hope for some very high quality pop music…🔝🔝

[@kdiegov]

In love with this song.. please don’t stop making this type of music, really good stuff. You killing it

[@markanthony5897]

Michael, I can feel you from where I sit and we never met. I lost a lot of friends and both my parents, my career, my home, what's left. Help us hold on to what we have left to cherish. I look up to you brother, yesterday, today and I will tomorrow. we got this Michael, you got this.

[@pkupferschmidt]

Hits like right before the sound starts, just out of principle.

[@HarrisTrevorJ]

So powerful, emotionally. Lyrically, heartfelt.

[@mishterpreshident]

Me: "Mastodon makes the weirdest music videos." ML: "Hold my beer"

[@benwittman3431]

Whew, deep lyrics. Amazing song. LOVE the uninterrupted camera shot for the first three minutes.

[@ShannonTrottman]

Nice work Michael. I love how the first listen of your singles has me scratching my head challenged. Then the second listen lands big time. Can’t wait for the album.

[@juanvega5725]

Great video story for a powerful songwriting ,really good fusion music beyond Snarky Puppy stuff

[@cat7093]

fantastic song

[@chrisneyman]

That bar looks familiar. Never Mine. Nailed it.

[@sunnyreads1845]

I am absolutely mesmerized by this at 2:22am. Beautiful. Speechless! Excellence. Thank you. ♥️♥️♥️

[@GabrielC985]

All of Michael’s songs have something very unique that makes them very ear catching, wether it’s conceptually, harmonically, texture wise etc. I’m really digging this project.

[@caseygauntt3212]

Ethereal, transportive, and addictive Thank-you Michael!

[@guilhermebutti6631]

Surrealist sounds and music...congratulations Mr. League ......I follow your work...and Snarky Puppy too

[@froisois]

Man, that chord at 1:57 just between "You did it up" and "Now that you’ve headed out" is so reminiscent of Take 6's You Better Mind!

[@dclarkmusic]

These chord progressions michael! Can’t wait to bump the whole thing in the headphones when it drops!

[@annapratt9747]

He is a genious. He has a unique and pleasing tone. Masterpiece.

[@Julione7]

Mesmerizing video and music. Thanks for this pure art.

[@roneirac]

amazing

[@christophegillis3430]

Yep

[@EmilSaks]

One of the few that brings hope for the music in future. And for the present, thank you Michael for absolutely amazing album!

[@watcheroftheskies6794]

Soundtrack of a dream.

[@ondrejpelikan6935]

modern classic :) cant wait to cry to it in 30 years

[@ClockworkDave]

Such a stunning album.

[@Mr1drumlover]

Great, just great!

[@TrickysBen]

My favorite yet. Outstanding.

[@luciachardon7246]

So touching. every little part, every note of all your new songs just says a lot. Thank you so much

[@kjpapabass]

this new jojo live action movie is quite good!

[@MP5..]

If Bitter Sweet Symphony and Steal My Sunshine had an audio baby…

[@drury2d8]

this is so unique!

[@p3rformer]

Hey this is the same bar as in Becca Steven's "Never Mine" video, isn't it? Great song!

[@groundUPmusicNYC]

Good eye ;)

[@kellynkarr]

Just absolutely love it. Thank you everyone for the music! Michael, put some pants on! :)

[@Kasino80]

Michael sounds like Chris Thile sometimes, making me wish for Snarky Puppy/Punch Brothers team up. That would be epic.

[@davidmcneil4937]

Wow! This is shot in one take! Great job Director! Beautifully done.

[@joshjamesuk]

The whole record is amazing but this is definitely my favourite song!

[@Lectric_Blue]

It's quite difficult (for me at least) to try to forget SP and give ML a clean break and a fresh start. Difficult because SP has changed so much for me. On first listen I can say that I'm not sure this is for me, but it's really nice. Michael has a nice singing voice that seems natural and not forced. The music flows really nicely and has enough of a hook to keep my attention. The musicianship and production is high quality, as I would expect, and overall it is really interesting. I will be listening again...

[@Gerry1310]

My thoughts entirely

[@osvaldosierra5334]

Temazoo

[@CorkyMeadows]

I just love !!!

[@abyssobserver]

such a great album. Thank you, Michael!

[@augustopirovano7363]

Love It, it's amazing how something surprising and warm keeps coming out after every chord progression

[@user-xi1rc6ef2m]

The most anticipated album. Totaly in tune with me. Thank you so much, Michael!!!

[@onixtheone]

What a gorgeous sound and feel, thank you for this!

[@HawaiiMusicSupplyTUS]

dope

[@sunnyreads1845]

Super Callafrajalistik Dope! 🤣

[@dafingaz]

Let’s go!!!

[@TheMeyer]

Very eerie song and video. Feel like Steven Wilson would like it

[@phenbuz]

Fantastic production AGAIN.

[@worldofameiso5491]

Spine tinglingly good.

[@Calisto34]

Love this! Sublime chords and smooth groove.

[@fortadelis]

It's a great track.

[@stoppy8743]

Fantastic!

[@Jazzmusik-jg5ix]

Круто, спасибо

[@dybomusic4207]

Bravo! 😃👍

[@cesarsaura1954]

This is just awesome

[@coleemmersonhallman5329]

i’m getting chris thile vibes!

[@jeffwolinski2659]

Good observation!

[@carlosclaptrix]

Progressive fusion pop.

[@markshepardsongs]

brilliant!

[@valentinmusatmuresanu8782]

this is awesome!

[@melvineverett1859]

Great song

[@jacek130]

Thank you ML! Interesting musically and convincing unreal visuals - I need to spend more time with this piece.

[@drumnerd92]

Nice work, sounds a bit like Steve Porcaro singing!

[@ReubenNathaniel]

cool!

[@AllanGildea]

Superb video.

[@Sinedy]

Bitter Sweet Symphony?)

[@laurasgone]

Haha😂😂 but a little bit more complex

[@olivergoodwin9821]

Scritti Politti ! ( in a good way)

[@jo.kon.6572]

The thing that i love the most about his music is, that it feels like Michael is always exploring new ways of his great musicality. He can always surprise me with something new i didnt expect! But the main question is ... where can i buy it to support Mike and the crew in most efficient way?? groundUP homepage ?

[@sherisserogers]

I bought it on ITunes. It dropped today.

[@futuraman2112]

Probably buying it from the groundUP official online store is the best way that will let them retain the most money from the purchase, yes.

[@cavarica]

❤️❤️❤️

[@sebastianperiche8793]

MICHAEL!! SE QUE HABLAS ESPAÑOL! Me gusta muchisismo que el album hayas puesto mucha percusion congas,bongos y ritmos asi africanos o whateveer that sounds amazing!!!! Tienes una voz muy calida i like that!! Abrazo gigante from PERU!! Ojala vengas nuevamente ya que vi que viniste with snarky puppy in 2017 y yo aun no escuchaba su musica :( but im a big fan of you and the band (my english is tooo bad) te quiero mucho gracias por tu arte!!!

[@acekryptid]

Good song

[@_ashleyc_]

❤️

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Nice to see cousin It getting extra work. ML is going to put a foot wrong one day and I'll be there when he does. In the meantime, more perfection.

[@desislavaracheva]

nice!

[@troytolbert2005]

Did anyone else notice how much every other dude in the video looked like Mr. League?? 👀

[@niccolo.g6069]

Lady Dimitrescu wtf are you doing here ?

[@fheering]

This is amazing. At first, I thought it was MAZ singing in the track. And it feels like Crosby arranged the vocals. Very interesting and complex but at the same time it is... comfortable and intimate. And the video is great. Are those "shadows" the subconscious parts of each person?

[@user-uy8zy4tn5p]

Something new

[@suplementiband]

Diferent

[@onemanmatt]

Love the Music........but the video?

[@kellynkarr]

Are you playing a dumbek in this? That drum sounds absolutely incredible!

[@daultonm9650]

have my children

[@guyfromkerala3577]

Singing Michael League reminds me of Gotye.

[@patrickkulumbagies]

The music is really good. But my question is: micheal is credited in the video clip BUT I never saw him! I've watched it 3 times and I can't find Michael. Please help me. Thx. :-)

[@samcooke343]

The cast in order of appearance would suggest he's one of the guys around 3:43 but I can't spot him.

[@davisginn1298]

I believe that he's Mudman Peeling Potatoes at 1:04!

[@samcooke343]

@@davisginn1298 I thought that too but that would make him too early in the order of appearance!

[@domo3552]

Guys of your calibre don't need pro tools. Why not ditch it and just perform? It'd be richer for it IMHO!

[@TheFlightsimNerd]

Good stuff but I'd rather have snarky puppy back in full swing...

[@andrewxu3602]

The time for come. For now...

[@katharina_alexandra]

The “Is it even a thing” section reminds me a bit of Beatenberg’s “Naomi”. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX-beXuMorR2mZI

[@Baal82]

Well...that was weird... at least.

[@juliachild9377]

I can't dig this track either.

[@1Tpoetic]

Way to weird not feeling this at all
