Lyrics:
All I wanna do is
Live in ecstasy
I know what's best for me
I can't help it
It's this hopeless age
I just wanna feel purple, yellow, red, and blue
When I grow up I want to be
A movie star or on tv
Cause working just don't work for me
But I can't focus feeling hopeless
So I'll just sit back and try to look mean
All I wanna do is
Live in ecstasy
I know what's best for me
I can't help it
It's this hopeless age
I just wanna feel purple, yellow, red, and blue
When I grow up I want to be
A rich kid born celebrity
It's not greed but necessity
Now I don't focus on the hopeless when I look out it's only for me
All I wanna do is
Live in ecstasy
I know what's best for me
I can't help it
It's this hopeless age
I just wanna feel
purple yellow red and blue
I just wanna be evil
Purple, yellow, red, and blue
All that I needed
Is something to believe in
Cause everything just falls in place like that

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”.

The perfect song after you snatched a victory with a sweaty goal and then just defended the lead for the entire game

[@alexismc2597]

yes sir

[@PG2248CoasterNews]

Anthem of parking the bus

Do you have a friend that scores a header in the 90' min? 😂

[@PauloJose-fx9wj]

that would be many men, by 50 cent

[@Dreamaphobic]

Purple = royalty Yellow = happiness Red = passion Blue = freedom

[@GoodGuyPlayer2]

Fifa 14♥️ Good times

[@hugojonny]

This music is really awesome, sad most people dont know it.

[@LateNightBoba]

People know it now lol

[@troopnation6212]

The best concerts are in small venues and they don’t play there anymore

[@GhostBlackOp]

I know it from Fifa 14

[@tylerhobson1004]

This song, as well as most of Portugal. The Man's music portrays the best message for a happy lifestyle. Thank you for spreading this wisdom to me and hundreds of thousands of others!! Smile, Sleep Forever, Purple Yellow Red and Blue, and Modern Jesus have by far the wisest lyrics I've ever heard and I just wish others could see this as clearly as me. Pure Poetry

[@maknavickas]

Being happy all the time is the most punk rock thing you can be, and I hope more and more people learn.

[@marcijones7965]

I have a story about this song and this band... The very fist time I ever did shrooms was at their concert which was the first I’d ever been to a concert and the very first Time I ever heard Portugal. the man.. I felt such a fool to never have heard them. But as I was watching them and listened like I’ve never listened to music before I fell in love. So much soul and meaning in between the rhythm of their lyrics. I heard for the first time MUSIC. Real and raw. I left there with a experience under my belt. Then a month after that I tried acid. My boyfriend put on Jimi Hendrix. I’ve never listened to him either. But as I was listening I started hearing colors as he played his guitar these beautiful colors came out with ever note. Those colors were purple, yellow, red, and blue. They dripped out of the speakers and faded away. Blobs of purple yellow red and blue. I went into my music after a while to play some Portugal. The man not knowing they had a song called purple yellow red and blue. But the cover of their album “feel it still” twisted and warped as I was thinking “holy shit I’m still high” it was like it was asking me a question. Can you feel it still? After I came down my boyfriend showed me the cover of the Jimi Hendrix album we had listened to which was “are you experienced” and the cover was purple yellow red and blue.. I’d never seen the cover until then. So I was listening to Portugal. The man the next day and came across their song.. this song. And it has so much meaning to me. and all I can say is I just wanna live in ecstasy.. I just wanna feel... purple yellow red and blue.

[@ZeImmortal]

A diamond in the rough, it seems. But instead of a baseball, it’s a comment!

[@Iquey]

this is a good get out of bed song.

[@SarahBearLuv]

such a good song!!! its sad that music like this isnt played on the radio as much

[@rabbit0664]

Well if it's something they're being played on Spotify. Not like a crazy amount but it's something.

[@thomaslilly1649]

Because Green is not a creative color.

[@javila783]

Don't hug me I'm scared lol

[@venuseok9020]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZAAAAAH

[@FracJack]

Do not embrace me, for I am frightened

[@gagachinchara7424]

Green color is mixed yellow and red colors ;) :**

[@tomatoviking3538]

Yellow and blue

[@BannanaOnFloor]

I've been looking for this song everywhere! It's frustrating when you're trying to find a song and you only know one line and somehow mashed it with another song in your mind

[@BIGERNMcCrack]

That's when you just go to to Google, type in that one line that you know or even a few words and then put "lyrics" after that line in the search field. Works 60% of the time every time.

[@BannanaOnFloor]

unfortunately this was one of the 40% because I mis remembered the line |D

[@BIGERNMcCrack]

D'oh! Yea, that's when it just sucks and just keeps on buggin' ya! haha

[@rabbit0664]

Yeah I know how you feel. Happened with me

[@millertime1402]

They're a million times better live.

[@DommoDommo]

People Say came out in 2009 and people who don't even know P.TM know that song and hum along to it when it's played on the radio or in a TGIFRIDAYS or something and I still love it. Rather then being upset, you should be happy that a band you love is being recognized and being paid to have their art scattered across the globe for BILLIONS to hear.

[@lucys8191]

Love the group as a whole. I have to say that i enjoy hearing John talk and sing. His voice is very calming and soft. Love you guys

[@kassandraledesma4363]

I love Portugal. The Man!!!! This song is awesome!

[@NinjaDormente]

The best match start song EVER!

[@AlexGarcia-lh6xo]

FIFA 14 brought me here

[@dxlicata]

Alex Garcia yes yes yes

[@dxlicata]

I was playing Fifa 19 thinking of this song that’s why I’m back here in 2019

[@simonlong4718]

Dxlicata same

[@Chapolinho316]

SAME. That's the reason why I discovered the band and I love it. Thank you Fifa!

[@jackweinberg8681]

Best FIFA soundtrack

[@immortalhades1609]

1:40 loved this beat❤️

[@PhilfromAustin]

For the young an impressionable...this song's lyrics is SATIRE. It's the way NOT to be. If you think "workin just dont work" has lots of wisdom behind it, then you've got one helluva tough lesson to learn. It's a clever lyric commentating on most people today.

[@PhilfromAustin]

No, I'm going to enforce my opinion on you by making KZbin comments. Kneel before my infallible interpretation.

[@BlazedtotheMax]

P. It’s just song lyrics, man

[@JuniorRodrigues-ri4og]

No shit Sherlock

[@spicy_toilet_water]

Damn, the bassist is jamming the fuck out in this song. The lines and runs he is doing sound so energetic. .-.

[@1HGtv]

My fav bassist nowadays. Caught a guitar pick from a show and it was my first one ever. Was and still am stoked about it. When my relationship ended I made sure she didn’t steal it from me.

[@krazepizza6037]

Why isn't this song more popular??

[@inconspicuousmystery]

GOD DAMN IT, MILES LUNA.

[@TIMMUT17]

¿RED VS BLUE OR RWBY?

Never even heard of this group before a couple days ago. Now It's one of my favorites. Amazing stuff.

[@v1ntaged1va]

Fell in love with this song at their concert. So good

[@clairealles3842]

I was stunned when I heard this song. I listened to it a few more times, and my only thought was "this song shows my whole personality, from wanting to be famous to wanting to be evil ;)"

[@wajeeh.hassan]

[@wellingtonjesuscosta8734]

Amo muito essa música

[@nancysandoval1725]

Looking at these comments and seeing that some people are genuinely influenced by this song (on obviously satirical song that is meant to criticize this generation’s obsession for fame and riches) scares me.

[@bloopdaddy]

My thoughts exactly

[@dizzebeatz1]

nice music

[@boopboopboopify]

3 1/2 months until 2020 and I'm still here🛸🖤🛸

[@desireelorenz6606]

My sister made a cap for Zach I think, it was a while back and can't remember his name. It was basically the same style as one of his, but newer. It was red, white, and blue.

[@rezgirl41]

Nice.

[@ianmunguti5513]

I remember this song from Fifa back when I was in primary, I played the game so much that I had neck issues

[@borjonx]

Saw them tonight at the University of Alaska Anchorage outdoor free concert - they're trying to help raise awareness and encourage the legislature to override the governors vetos. Our governor is slashing 455 million dollars from veteran services, homeless services, university budget, elderly services, etc. A really sad day - "all that I needed is something to believe in".

[@DestructorSVK]

Do you still like this song? I wrote that comment 3 months ago, if you hate the song all of a sudden that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I still love this song as much as I did when it came out, when I heard it at the Sony conference, and even now.

[@brbgamingcentral]
