Lyrics:
Everything carries weight
Everything is the same within us all together
Everything carries weight
Everything is the same and we are all together (ooh)
I can't keep my head up
I'd like to stay by my friend stay by my friend
But I can't keep my head up
I can't keep seem to keep my head (oh do do do do)
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over (na na na na)
But you're still there treading water (do do do do)
But you're still there treading water
Can't keep my head
I hate to seem so shallow
I'd like to get deeper in, swim deeper in
But I can't find the water
I can't seem to find my way (oh do do do do)
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over (na na na na)
But you're still there treading water (do do do do)
But you're still there (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
I can't keep my head up I can't keep my head up I can't keep up
But you're still there treading water (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still there treading water
You can drift along you've got the time
The rest of us will live and die like plastic soldiers
Only growing older

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”.

[@Dezmondo777]

1:40 Man, this guitar part is like playing directly inside your soul

[@kingcolt4562]

If this album sounds like another band to you, (Broken Bells, The Black Keys, etc.) it's because Danger Mouse produced it, they kept a lot of their originality though. If you're interested in similar artists look up Danger Mouse and the albums he's produced/ worked on.

[@ItsOverFatKid]

When listening to this album i can't but help hearing The Beatles.

[@Pete-mk3oj]

oh my god, freakin love broken bells. probably why i like this too

[@bobsmith-wu2go]

@@Pete-mk3oj agreed :)

[@adrianhugo5021]

Now everything makes sense

[@mr.mobile3964]

Lol thank you for your commitment, seriously, cuz i literally just asked the guy I'm home with right now who exactly Danger Mouse is and he doesn't know, so you helped me out 🖤🥂

[@crunchy-bobt313]

You know the feeling you get sometimes when you listen to music that’s like butterflies in your stomach? This whole band does that for me.

[@mr.mobile3964]

Yeah, the songs that make you come undone during the very first listen 👍🖤

[@TECfan1]

Absolutely. This album is a masterpiece.

[@mapples007]

Ditto. PTM are wizards.

[@JordanPost-zd6eb]

That’s pretty g@y mAn

[@3XTS]

Oh god here we go again. Dude you need your balls re-attached.

[@lostduckstar]

Thank god you guys put the entire album online! I mean, if I had the money I'd buy the shit out of all of your albuns ( especially It's complicated Being a Wizard). Take it easy. And she was worth it....I guess.

Still here in 2021

[@flayme666]

The typo in the video title confused me for a while...

[@marsw0rld]

+MrFlaymore I was looking at it for like 40 seconds and I was thinking to myself "whats wrong with plastic soldiers?" And then I realized you were talking about the band name lmao that period is there on purpose its not a typo

[@flayme666]

Maura The Explorer I know what the band name is, they spelt soldiers wrong

[@marsw0rld]

+MrFlaymore OMFG THEY DID HAHHAHA I DIDNT SEE THAT LMAO SORRY

Years and I had not noticed. Thank you.

[@ChefBuckeye]

I'm guessing its supposed to be spelled "soliders," I thought I was still tripping on acid but I'm obviously not.

[@Joex532]

"Mom" is in the URL just thought I'd point that out

[@jonatandige4001]

What an amazing discovery, I think you earn this *gives Nobel Prize* for your fantastic work, GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR Joex_532 (This is called sarcasm)

For fucks sake joey, i'm not sure whether I should compliment you for finding that, or insult you for trying to look.

[@yuppieMa]

Their best album by far.

[@benjamin3640]

Well said

[@TECfan1]

Absolutely. It's my favorite of theirs.

[@mummyjohn]

One of the best albums of my life, by far

[@stealsomething.3853]

Yup!

[@easytiger6570]

In the mountains in the clouds is better

[@Joe22c]

Gotta listen to this and "Smile" back-to-back for a fucking amazing experience.

[@TECfan1]

Ha, I thought I was the only one that did this. Masterpieces, both of them. 😌

[@mummyjohn]

I find it works even better if you squeeze about ten songs in between 'em

Me too... Beatles esque... It's orchestrated beautifully

[@UNLIRIDES]

Genius lyric writing! "You can drift along You've got the time The rest of us will live and die Like plastic soldiers Only growing older"

[@ambertheprofessional]

[@jorgequero6185]

Fckn genius

[@raspberry996]

What an album

[@sslizard]

at about 1:33, what is the actual line? I've seen lyrics showing "stay by my friends," and "step on my friends" (and I always thought it was "stab all my friends" lol)

[@frankegordon326]

I think step on my friends because its relating them to plastic soldiers

[@ricky_spanish7992]

I hear stay by my friends

[@frybloonstd9656]

Strp on all my friends i think

[@joji_okami]

Such an amazing song, such beautiful lyrics. What an album with a lot of pondering for the human condition. Right now the world seems so cruel and divided again, so much suffering, so many innocent lives lost for meaningless vain pursuits that will all be lost very soon to the enormity of time on this giant ball we live on that races for billion of years in the universe. Sometimes I close my eyes while listening to music like this and imagine it can heal the world. I know it cannot but still I like to imagine it.

[@aylac.1877]

Thank you Fifa 14 for this band ....formidable découverte un bijou

[@ghitanajid3893]

I started listening to the band back in 2015, I was 15 and dreamed of engineering school and freedom. In 2020, I got what I wanted and lost so much more. I did not pay attention to what actually mattered back then, so this whole album is a life lesson in its own to me: don't focus too much on one single thing and forget about what is at the corner of your eye

[@pleox42]

Still listening to this album all the time in 2024. Long live PTM.

listening to this album on lsd is amazing. even looking at the cover of the album is a trip! lol
