Lyrics:
I need the ground when I shake my brain I must have felt the sound
You were travelling on, following Zond
Four deep tonight in sixty-five we were left for God
Tell me what went wrong, what about Zond?
When I found the ghost, it's meaning after all
I'm gonna tell you what I saw, and where it came from
Well, when I'm 'round the door, when I'm 'round the made it back down
Leave it all where we started this song
A song about Zond
Cross my heart, universe, go black on me
After all I've seen, in a waking dream
We're from the darkness in between
Gently unscrew me
I wanna love me Julie, gonna do me Julie
But the light and the sun and the moon and sound
A merry-go round
And I misbehave, well, I keep awaiting, trying to meditate
When I'm on my round
Oh all the elegant sound
Now I'm like the dog on a satellite home
And I'm flying high and it must be found
When I'm 'round the door I made it back down
And it all really-really is Zond, a song about Zond
Cross my heart, universe, go black on me
After all I've seen, in a waking dream
I'm from the darkness in between

[@emilyrueda8331]

This entire album is another dimension.

[@LanceVanceDance84]

Hell, all of their albums are different dimensions, and they're all cool af.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

I remember loving pond, seeing this video when I was like 19 and just being high af like wtf haha

[@jakefields4015]

Oh shit, I didn't know Bowie and Syd Barrett had a kid named Nicholas Allbrook

[@Bix12]

speshlee cuz daze bofe man peeps

[@coldacre]

well now you do!

[@varunbhattacharyya9356]

Hahahahah spot on

[@chengzhou8711]

This comment hits the spot

[@intrepidvirgo938]

Good call. As usual…shite happens…just saying.

[@royorbit3800]

I couldn't get to the end of this song the first time. It was too strange. Love it now.

[@joekarmazyn2825]

its all about zond mon

[@Daar64]

+Roy Orbit first time i saw it i was like "this is in another level" now love it

[@MrEblevin]

addictive. I'm a new Ponder

[@CarlCampbell]

High the second time?

[@royorbit3800]

My secretary will give you a written response in one to two weeks.

[@sabrinasmusic]

“Probably the hardest part of making this was finding three elderly citizens who looked identical to what our computer projections told us Jay, Joe and Nick will look like in the twilight of their lives. The Jeff Koons inspired inflatable toy band was brilliantly sculpted by our monster maker, Hayley Callander. The conjoined twin scene was a little trickier as we used stem cells from each band member to grow an extra torso and head which we later sewed on. Now, normally this takes about 6 - 8 weeks but thanks to our friend and mentor Professor Vincenzi Vandella we were able to expedite this process in his Juggertron laboratory and have them available within mere hours. The Ben Montero artwork makes the whole thing, really - as well as the characters themselves who, to be honest, I could have just shot walking through the supermarket and it would have been just as weird and funny"

[@TheMorekurt]

*Nick Allbrook is my favourite person in the whole world.*

[@loganmohler737]

He's allgood

[@coldacre]

Pond are one of those bands that are SO fucking brilliant & original that people won't work out just how good they are for another 20 years... by when they'll be wishing it was 2015 again.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

They really became so original they have their own sound

[@dhammaboy1203]

I agree! Great music is timeless - like Rodriguez's Cold Fact. The album fizzled on release and Rodriguez made nothing - now each new generation is discovering how awesome the album is. I agree - Pond will be that too!

[@Dougolai]

Aw man, I knew I shouldn't have smoked that weed that guy behind the ferris wheel sold me.

[@iconoclast137]

you get what you pay for

[@bennysmith9865]

Nick is just what this stinky world needs. Can't help but smile & be happy when he's doing his thang. What an absolute champion!

[@Maggie-ur2ye]

Nick has inspired me to truly embrace being vulnerable and just doing what comes natural.

[@YuLi-gx2ep]

@JimmyJam I wish Nick is my spirit animal, but no, he is too pure, he is more like I don't know.. I celestial creature I guess

[@percival8193]

Agreed. Honestly music like the is and the personas the artists usually embody reassures me that free spirited and open minded people still exist. Glad there’s also listeners like us that can appreciate these forms of art

[@sortarican1604]

Five years late but glad I'm finally here

[@waroonafreerider]

The whole tune is cracking but 2:50 - onwards at full volume sends me into deep space

[@penegordopower]

Every day I love them a litle more.

[@internet_user1131]

the outro is out of this world

[@aniyah80]

This is one of the best videos I've seen in my life...and I'm not exaggerating. It reminds me of the best of the 80s (when videos were first out)...weird, funny and great..the artwork is on point, and Nick Allbrook...just excellent, as always! It's nice to see a group whose music is not only great, but they have a great sense of humor too.

[@TrailerPoopers]

love that outro so much

[@officerbarbrady5238]

You know what this song needs?..........more hot dog belt.

[@TarantuLandoCalcuLingus]

Respect its authority

[@DrinkinDaJuice]

I've been looking for this for about 8 months, but no band name or song name or lyrics to go off. Its 2am and Noel Fielding just sends me the link and all of a sudden here it is. Bloody brilliant.

[@TheZoom1381]

YO GIMME NOELS EMAIL

[@DrinkinDaJuice]

Sorry, no bloody idea who you are. Not giving that out online sorry.

[@Zubav]

lmao

[@marcusdeakin8110]

Noel is a lad when it comes to music taste

[@charlotterose1273]

Still obsessed with this music

[@DrummerJay74]

When you start playing hot dogs it may be time to re-think your drug consumption. Great song non-the-less.

[@Sareybeary]

If they kept it up, they could almost be the flaming lips

[@ListenAlGaib]

This might be one of the best songs Pond has put out yet, and that's saying something. Big shoutout to Fascinator for the video too. Cosmic bollocks.

[@twee4463]

pond is such a fun band

You je srbja

[@stephenspilman68]

This song gets better every time I play it........... like this is the first thing from my generation that I'm genuinely proud of

[@iconoclast137]

eyelash mustache. fucking genius

[@SomethingTVTV]

Perhaps one of the best songs I've ever heard and i'm old and jaded and hate most bands these days. Great sounds, great chords and composition etc. Sounds awesome. Thanks

[@bennysmith9865]

Faith in modern music, restored.

[@Nicolas-Kage]

Man it feels like space again is a solid album!

[@ryank1721]

drugs are amazing

[@alcidesrodezno2728]

[@MrBenfica1904]

[@alocuervo7351]

We have found a meeting place

[@Bix12]

cocaine is a helluva drug

[@RevesAbsurdes1]

ooh i liked but then realized I was the 70th... and disliked.

[@emieverton9913]

This song should have more views...

[@iconoclast137]

one of the best things ever made in the history of forever

[@PlantedbyCherry]

Nick kicks ass tho! Love his crazy personality!!(:

[@razorbeam6176]

WORDS CANNOT SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS AKBFIEBS

[@hannahlowe5886]

[@danimonsalves]

[@hbhddvnxgjcf8910]

Showed this to some kids at school and now they think I'm some sort of weirdo

[@davewyatt1468]

Don't stress bro, stick to what you know is good don't worry bout what other people think.!!!! I think there wierd for listening to pop music 👍

[@Zubav]

hahahahahaahhaha dont worry bro, fuck em

[@TheNenek7]

I like this psychedelia ;-)

[@pinktallgirl94]

[@MarciaSalinas]

Perú is waiting for you guys!!

Eh, Bruno Lock, ¡anda! Qué genial, pensé que sólo bromeaban... Ahora paso a fijarme. Gracias por la información.

[@MarciaSalinas]

Sí, ya me habían dateado :D

[@LordTetsuoShima]

The direction I wished MGMT would have taken after Congratulations

[@ambermiller6812]

Dillan Huery yea i see what u mean...they went a good direction tho but they could use a bit more funky weirdness ...they nailed the weirdness tho ..alien days, a good sadness....my fave is still n will always be siberian breaks

[@LordTetsuoShima]

@@ambermiller6812 Your comment holds up to this day! Siberian break is 🔥

[@karlabecerril7860]

I love the sound of the bass

[@percival8193]

Choreographer: How much acid would you like in your video Nick ? Nick: A SONG ABYOUTTTT ZOOWNNDDDD !

[@chrispolo840]

You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like listening to POND

[@ophelia.artaud]

That aesthetic is methed up

[@niki-dh4bx]

Keep seeing pond videos in my feed and can’t help but click on them I freaking love and hate them

[@ambermiller6812]

i cant stop listening to this???? aaahhhh the drugs have won ...oh you lucy always bringing me to fancy places

[@rose_madelyn_h]

Bro why am I literally the only person in my area who listens to this kind of music 😭 I live in Pennsylvania, SOMEONE PLZ SHARE WITH ME THIS LOVE OF MINE FOR THIS MUSIC

[@slow_hunter_]

I enjoy pond but I am not American

[@mmteds]

you just blew my mind

[@bryanscott_cc]

Masterpiece!

[@fredfredallo1735]

song and video are masterpieces

[@vicdamone9544]

greatest music video ever made

[@AudioAndroid]

This is like the Music Video in that movie you saw as a kid that was about the future and you said "this isn't what the future will be like" but when it gets here it's not so bad.

[@sergiofasano92]

2019 anyone? :D Zond never ends!!

[@justintime8949]

One of the best songs they have created , my fellow freo boys make me so proud .so glad they have a bit of fun with it

[@Granttouchell]

This film clip seemed perfectly normal in 2015. Perfectly normal

[@thetransnationalcrash6223]

There is nothing about this visual and audio experience I didn't completely love. You guys are all kinds of good insanity!

[@ListenAlGaib]

Man, it does feel like space again.

[@freshndust]

oh man, it feels like space again....

[@printscreen5076]

I love the false eyelash on his upper lip

[@justiceiswack15]

I feel like this song would be crazy in a car chase in a movie

[@damjanovicandrijana]

u guys are helping me get through crisis

[@tvommy]

im inlove

[@k5hiro]

I remember discovering Pond like a year ago somewhere in Santiago walking around the streets

[@chrispolo840]

You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like listening to POND

[@ElGuayo]

[@VileGrime]

Just what promised ^-^

[@TheRubberStudiosASMR]

The coolest thing ive seen all day

[@gregoryhatcher6428]

Zond is my hero

[@tvommy]

I remember discovering this at 3am

[@funstuff811]

So looking forward to the album!

[@LuisMedinaInformador]

THE FIRST 9 SECS.

[@lemonkooler]

It's the best part

[@LuisMedinaInformador]

AGREE, HE LOOX SO NICE HEHE

[@pizzax5]

Shiny Joe seems happy with that sausage keyboard :^)

[@JimManser]

Love this video so much...awesome fellow space cadets from across the pond...regards mystic Jim uk

[@clintburton9916]

I'm pretty sure that's the sexiest outfit I've ever seen Jay wear.

[@igzy9306]

fear and loathing

[@Artforartsake53]

Fricking total ZOND!

[@MxLee192]

The band defo peaked on this album artistically.

[@thorn99thorn]

Idk The Weather is pretty fantastic

[@LanceVanceDance84]

I wholeheartedly disagree with that. _The Weather_ was/is transcendent in pretty much every single way, _Tasmania_ is just as solid as _MIFLSA,_ and _9_ might honestly be their magnum opus, at least for the time being. Everything they've released since _Frond_ has been absolute solid gold to my ears.

[@thorn99thorn]

@@LanceVanceDance84 yes

[@interpolkillersfan93]

2:52 heaven.

[@sukimarek9407]

HAHA! I'm watching this at the library and some lady got a look at the screen and walked up to me and says "wiggly Worms" And I'm like "sorry?" (bit confused) And she says again "WIGGLY WORMS!" *pointing aggressively at my screen and the POND Film Clip and then walks away..... WTF?! is she mates with Nick? LOL

[@YuLi-gx2ep]

Nick as a granny looks like Napoleon Dynamite

[@davidgabric6228]

2:54 can only imagine what the experience would be on acid...

[@lliampitt]

So many costume changes. It Must've token days to produce this.

[@shadow0444]

I watched this for the first time when i was high af. I really liked the ending part. It was so trippy

[@simokappu]

Highest band in the world, please continue smoking pot and writing album like "Man It Feels Like Space Again"!

[@straightreject2947]

Amazing band to see live.

[@StankPlanks]

So good! The song and music video get stuck in your head making you keep coming back for more!

[@innereye2226]

YEEEEAAA BOOOOYS!

[@Danibcordova]

2:54 magic!!!!

[@Y2JAIR]

Buena forma de pasar la madrugada.

[@juan-ys6zd]

2:52 essa parte fica presa em um looping na minha mente o dia todo

[@djpaulywood]

This is how you make music and music videos!

[@marisolvaccaro7227]

The most bizarre I've ever seen from Pond.

[@elperez12]

Ésta es la música que les platicaré a mis hijos que yo escuchaba.

[@brianoneil9662]

Okay. Have watched this ten times in a row. Starting view number eleven. I think I get it. I think..
