Lyrics:
Can’t keep my hands to myself
Think I’ll dust em off
Put em back up on the shelf
In case my little baby girl is in need
Am I comin outta left field
Ooh ooh I’m a rebel just for kicks now
I’ve been feeling it since 1966 now
Might be over now but I feel it still
Ooh ooh I’m a rebel just for kicks now
Let me kick it like its 1986 now
Might be over now but I feel it still
Got another mouth to feed
Leave it with the babysitter
Mama call the grave digger
Gone with the falling leaves
Am I comin outta left field
Ooh ooh I’m a rebel just for kicks now
I’ve been feeling it since 1966 now
Might have had your fill I can feel it still
Ooh ooh I’m a rebel just for kicks now
Let me kick it like its 1986 now
Might be over now I can feel it still
We can fight a war for peace
Give in to that easy livin
Goodbye to my hopes and dreams
Start flipping for my enemies
Or we can wait until the walls come down
It’s time to give a little to the kids in the middle
But oh until it falls won’t bother me
Is it coming back
Ooh ooh I’m a rebel just for kicks
Yeah my love is in abyss for my heart to eclipse now
Might be over now but I feel it still
Ooh ooh I’m a rebel just for kicks now
I’ve been feeling it since 1966 now
Might be over now but I feel it still
Ooh ooh I’m a rebel just for kicks now
Let me kick it like its 1986 now
Might be over now but I feel it still
Might have had your fill
I can feel it still

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”.

“are you listening to that song again” yes, but this time it’s live

[@JohmathanBSwift]

I got to see them live in June last year 2106 with Cage the Elephant and Twin Peaks . Cage headlined the show. Here's PtM's set list for the show ; Hip Hop Kids Atomic Man Guns & Dogs Chicago Head Is a Flame (Cool With It) Got It All (This Can't Be Living Now) Evil Friends Modern Jesus Holy Roller (Hallelujah) Creep in a T-Shirt Feel It Still All Your Light / The Home / I Want You (She's So Heavy) Purple Yellow Red and Blue

[@user-kj4iq7cm7h]

Finally a band with no autotune, only live instruments, and the music its actually good. Thanks Portugal. The Man!

[@WayaWolf]

I love that intro NO COMPUTERS “ONLY LIVE INSTRUMENTS” love you guys, always sounding good

[@nmproductions8006]

Waya Vlogs that is right

[@nntflow7058]

To be fair yeah, all the instruments are connected to a computer where they filter the voice to make it clearer. We do this when you sing in big room where there would be tons of voices from the fans.

[@Driew]

There's a difference between that and playing to a click track/backing track lol

[@WayaWolf]

Driew yeah, but hey, the crowd loved them!!!

[@mariad6993]

One of those rare bands that sound better live.

Been listening to them since 2009 and now wow. Those hipsters from Portland made it.

[@jopaprez]

It is nice to see that they are finally popular they have been good for so long.

[@romski9665]

What do you mean from Portland? You know they're from Alaska, right?

[@arando4359]

Romy Bekeris no, they are from portland lol

[@arando4359]

Googled it

[@romski9665]

Because Google answers all questions. I live in Alaska. They're from Wasilla. Google that.

[@Watchoutforsnakez]

The vintage mustache, Dwight Shrute glasses, wheelchair guy with super cool surf vibe riff, Tenor sax. Endless compliments. Really fills hole in music scene

i love that the singer has such a high angelic voice that the female background singers sound deep in comparison

[@Ltjrevival]

"Meet us after the show, drinks on us" Fuckin rad haha

[@mikesmithiba]

Shedding a tear for my day ones, Portugal. The Man. I’ve watched you grow from a band I was looked at sideways for listening to - to a band with a billboard hit playing at prestigious award shows. I’m proud of you. Don’t forget your homies, the OG listeners.

[@discobones]

God damn I'm so fuckin' proud. From the tiny venue I saw them in in Atlanta in 2014 to this HUGE venue, televised nationally. You guys deserve it so much. One of the most criminally underappreciated bands.

[@potatofamine3119]

ikr, great job sampling and stealing from 'mr postman', a regular kanye west. such integrity!

[@zamo1966]

Matt Mcmanus stealing? Lol

[@7Davidnm]

Criminally ?? Do you mean Critically

[@potatofamine3119]

go listen to please mr postman by the marvelettes. come back and tell me they're different.

[@kianak6743]

it's sampling. they got permission

[@itzchloe6281]

Omg, I just realized the meaning of this song. This song is about the Berlin wall! He mentions 1966 and 1986, both are times that the wall was still up. Then a verse says "We could wait until the walls come down", which means that at the time, the Berlin wall had not yet been taken down. There are several verses about "Kids in the middle" and "Little baby girls is in need". The kids in the middle means the kids who were caught in between the Berlin wall, and a hostile country. "Little baby girl is in need" means all the kids affected by the horrible aftermath of war, some without food. This song style is similar to music from the 1960s, so I think Portugal The Man is paying tribute to the hippy/peace activists of the '60s who "Fight a war for peace". The line "Am I coming out of left field" was a little trickier. One definition of left field is "a surprising or unconventional position or style". The lead singer is probably saying that his feelings on what happened are surprising and unconventional. Note: I know a confirmed meaning of this song is online, and they say the song is about rebelling against injustice today, but this is what I think the meaning is.

[@naitch5365]

ItzChloe very well thought out, thanks for that

[@zabelicious]

I think he’s just trying to say he is gay.. coming out type thing

[@alban.dano.93]

I thought he was just referring to musical styles/genres. When he says he's a rebel, it means that he's producing indie music "just for kicks", as in just for fun. The 1966/1986 lines refer to the influence old music has on his music, etc. "Am I coming out of left field?" means that he is wondering whether his compositions are a surprise in today's market or not.

[@spacelegos4964]

its also about about his daughter and growing up in the times that we do. He said so himself. the 1986 line is a reference to License to Ill by the Beastie Boys

[@pruzzilla3771]

The Berlin wall was built in 1961 and came down in 1991. The band said: www.nme.com/news/music/portugal-the-man-feel-it-still-video-live-lyrics-meaning-2144456 What can you tell us about the lyrical inspiration behind the track? “Things often start off kinda like automatic writing. Words that sound good and feel right to us. It’s very subconscious in the beginning and as we fine tune things we learn a lot about ourselves and how our brains work. It’s kinda crazy. Like a Rorschach Ink Blot Test. Generally inspired by a couple specific sea changes that mean a lot to us. 1966 - Civil rights movements, war protest and LSD testing. 1986 - first finding out about New York hip hop. ‘License To Ill’. ‘Fight For Your Right to Party’. Essentially a rebel just for kicks. ”

[@busterburns2196]

BY FAR the best act on the AMA's this year.

[@Anakalia13]

Finally real music by real people. i seriously hate these award shows....nice to see a genuine artist/group

[@dianefiddler9884]

Lmao - 6 years late to the party - story of my life. Cant get this sing out of my head - imho, this performance is as perfect as any ive seen; it makes me hungry for more of that guitar-opening sound (and those horns!), but my lord - what a show they put on! Masters of their craft...

That's probably my favorite album of theirs, I don't know if they still sing those songs though when on tour.

[@littleliondog]

[@perlarod7163]

[@jenniferbryn]

H00 DINI I listened to that section 10 times before I read the comments thinking the same. It's unfortunate no KZbin comments are taken seriously. That deviation from the original song is where his voice really shines. It's just a few seconds...but someone needs to tell him to get to that vocal intensity more. It's unique and will elevate their performances.
