[@HumanBeingWithFeelings]

It's been almost 10 years since I discovered this song and after a few years without having listened to it, this hits differently.

[@Spurgte]

So true

[@11acjr]

Look, I've discovered this band one year ago, and I'm now fucking addito it.... shit! WTF!!!! Don't know what to do

[@setialphasix]

talk about sweet simplicity. It has been a VERY long time since I saw two people do so much with so little. A Korg J-series, a Strat, and some samples, when in the hands of two VERY talented people, can make...perfection. What an amazing duo these guys are. I hope they last a REALLY long time, they're a breath of fresh air in today's stagnant music scene.

[@Eisley12]

I actually feel sorry for people who will go their whole lives without hearing this song.

[@EderValencia-i6s]

Yea its sad this exist

[@marianomruiz]

Soy de SLP muy muy buena banda. No puedo creer que esté vídeo tenga 11 años.

[@Lyndanet]

Yes they are a wonderful band and I can’t believe the video is 11 years old either .

[@Goonie02]

The riff hypnotizes you but the vocals an lyrics keep you in a trance. I can feel the emotions

[@Karl_Drogo55]

The guitar during the main chorus is the best shit I've ever heard..addicting and hypnotic

[@نيكولاسهيويت]

Man no doubt. Always coming back to this session

[@Klein101]

I just found these guys can't believe I'd never heard of them❤

[@Klein101]

Absolutely... one of the things I live about phantogram... the guitar riffs!

[@darkskye.rising]

​@@Klein101 imagine me who has just heard of them 🙈

[@jackjayduenas2194]

There must be something wrong with me, ive been listening to this song for ten years. I just dont get tired of it

[@aresaurelian]

[@Bootsyfruit]

Nope nothing wrong with you. I listened to it four times tonight. It digs deep. ❤

[@Bootsyfruit]

[@wessside77]

One of the best guitar riffs in the last decade

[@penispumpmandonahue7902]

Most underrated music I have ever heard so unique

[@SculptedThoughts]

Legitimately made me cry.

[@asdfgsfgj8220]

9years later still awesome.

[@Bootsyfruit]

And 50 years later it will be an oldie and still brilliant

[@willmoblo75]

Very zero 7 like. Producers making music. I saw them open for zero 7 in 2009 and was blown away, these guys are the real deal. Eyelid movies is so good

[@davidjuarez1981]

Just scored some tickets to see this band live. I can't wait!!!

[@RighteousWithOneToke]

Phantogram is amazing live

[@EderValencia-i6s]

I cant imagin

[@katedamonkey]

I lover her voice and I love her hair too :)

[@FreedomMiso]

A very lyrically clever song that anyone can easily draw a connection to. Backed by a smooth beat, beautiful vocals, electronic sound, and some on point string flinging......this song is unstoppable.

[@BamRik0ma]

I love the echo in "I wish I could believe" part.

[@sophiebrown1921]

why does everyone say she sucks live? shes an amazing singer! either way! live i think shes even better so shut up and leave her alone! shes beautiful, shes an amazing singer, shes talented at keyboard, shes just amazing! some of us can only wish to be amazing like that

[@joshbarbosa3509]

[@rreeezzzaa]

[@kexp]

@lysolbombs470, the "video" isn't fake, but yes, they are using a drum track. They always had been, but there are rumors of a drummer to perform with them live.

[@jorgeparedesaponte4045]

I love the samples on this re-editions of this songs!

[@alexandrebuenodamado1771]

Amazing, usually beautiful songs have lyrics that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. This is one rare exception that blends everything perfectly.

[@ogogoblin]

ААААААААА! Это охрененно, грандиозно, офигительно!!!

[@welingtonws]

I fucking love this band and the vibes they give me. Listening in 2020

[@welingtonws]

[@staircaseparadox]

Saw them 2 days ago in Paris..... simply great... the sound of the XXIst century

[@jduff59]

Something about this band really interests me, I'm not quite sure what and why, but I know I like it! They're in that strange world between organic and electronic music, it's like Kraftwerk with cool guitar and pretty vocals.

[@tedgegi155]

Yes ,it's called The Eurythymics.

[@arkyg4022]

We're coming in two months! We can't wait. Oh. You said "Phantogram". And "Guatemala". And "Coming".

[@jtree7144]

What a aukwardly amazing dark but friendly sensational groove they have, it's like trent reznor meets hope sandoval, just awsome.

[@andrewmurphy64]

reznor? is that referring to super mario or is that something else. Ive always wondered what Reznor was

[@hallucinaten]

@Andrew Murphy , trent reznor is nine inch nails. well other people are in the band too. trent is just the only permanent member

[@asteroidmonger]

That is the best title of a song ever.

[@chancegardner351]

Diliciously rockin band!

[@bennycoco1233]

[@benandreas369]

This guitar riff...just BAD..ASS

[@mikeet207]

+benandreas369 The riff sounds easy to decipher, shouldn't be too hard....i hear about 3-4 chords in the main riff, and it's a basic arpeggiation method.

[@mikeet207]

+ElectricalBanana I hope I didn't give the impression that it was not great.

[@mikeet207]

+BOGNAN f Sorry i'm using big musical words you do not understand.

[@KONAROCK1]

I play guitar. I know exactly what he's playing. Still.. it IS BAD ASS. ..so just appreciate it and stop trying to impress strangers on the internet. :)

[@fejstipp3137]

Im a music scholar and can say that I hear mostly H# and Jb notes.

[@JohnSmith-ko7zk]

Hello, I am from the future...this track still slaps...(looks at date stamp)...14 years later.

[@Wechsewinke]

awesome!
