Lyrics:
I don't know how we were created
But I know we all die
Go pick up all your tools and build a roof
I'll pick up all mine and build one too
I just do as I do
That’s all I can do
Listen to the cars just passing through
Help out all those friends that helped you too
You just do as you do
That’s all you can do
Open up your arms and hold on to
Everything you own that owns you too
And just let it all go
Because that’s all we can do
And that’s all we can do

Portugal. The Man took 2017 by the horns after a considerably long gap, between records. They spent years working on an album called Gloomin + Doomin before later developing what would become known as their latest studio album WOODSTOCK. Fate struck lead singer, John Gourley, twice. First, John got some parental tough love from his old man. “What’s taking so long to finish the album?,” John’s dad asked. “Isn’t that what bands do? Write songs and then put them out?” The whole thing got John thinking about why the band seemed to be stuck on a musical elliptical machine from hell and more importantly, about how to get off of it. Second, John found his dad’s ticket stub from the original 1969 Woodstock music festival, which ultimately knocked something loose in his head. He realized that, in the same tradition of bands from that era, Portugal. The Man needed to speak out about the world crumbling around them.
With these two ideas converging, the band made a seemingly bat-shit-crazy decision: they took all of the work they had done for the three years prior and threw it out. The band went back to the studio - working with John Hill, Danger Mouse and longtime collaborator Casey Bates. In this new-found creative territory, the album that became WOODSTOCK rolled out naturally from there. Fast forward to present day and it was impossible to escape the album’s first single “Feel It Still,” which dominated the charts and radio airwaves in 2017. The 6X Platinum Certified hit reigned at #1 at nearly all radio formats, including Top 40, as well as Alternative, where the song held the chart’s top spot for a mind-blowing 20 weeks, breaking the record for most weeks at #1. Yes, you read that right. 5 guys from Wasilla, Alaska who have played nearly 1,500 shows in their career broke Alternative radio records and had a #1 song at Pop radio. Billboard Magazine even went as far as to call the song, “the unexpected rock crossover hit of 2017,” while Rolling Stone listed it as “one of the best songs of 2017.” AND THEN…the band kicked off 2018 by winning a GRAMMY Award for “Feel It Still.” WOODSTOCK has since been certified gold, as has their second single “Live In The Moment”.

I randomly get the urge to watch this video and it’s been over 7 years since I first saw it and it never ever gets old.

[@Dna010]

Same it's been years still gives me chills

[@coiceaalexandru8711]

just got the urge today for no reason too, how can this be only 800 likes?

[@neilfossati64]

Go Banana same here, maybe once or twice a year.

[@ceaderdoodog57]

It’s over a decade and this song still brings the nostalgia on hard.

[@neilfossati64]

That time of year

[@ohrandomz]

I just learned this on guitar :) definitely one of my favorite songs of all time... john's voice = pure angelic amazingness

[@StnCldET]

Real fans miss and appreciate this PTM

why is this the best acoustic I've ever heard

[@astonsisk5173]

[@marystock8887]

Dear God - Please please please may the band play this during their next upcoming tour ♡

[@carmen1566]

[@marystock8887]

[@andrescantu1269]

This is true talent.

[@MrJipster]

I like how when he sings listen to the cars just passing through, you can actually hear cars passing by! i wish i was in one of those cars

[@1serenaj]

The people who will never listen to great music and lyrics like this are just ignorant of music's influence on their lives. When I listen to john gourley voice and ryan neighbor's skills on the keyboard along with zach and jason's abilities on the bass and drums my whole body gets transported and no band has ever been able to do that for me. And when I see them live it's orgasmic. They are so talented and if their label ever makes them any different I will protest!

[@benchise15]

Hi, I love you..

[@GilbertoRDX]

legend performance

[@AProudCatOwner]

Angelic always

[@Tw0Dents]

That's right, zero dislikes! Just saw these guys at ACL and they blew me away. The are a-ma-zing live!

[@daniellenard2872]

John gourley is so humble and nice I met him years before people even knew who they were , would show up an hour or two before and met him and the band 3 times

[@alexcox714]

Truth. Hah! I met him while at a concert in anchorage back in like 2008. I was sitting outside on the curb smoking a cigarette and talking to my friend doing the same. Turned to my left and who was sitting next to me? John and the band. Super nice. All of them.
