itunes.apple.c...
Lyrics:
I know
I should go
But I want to stay
Here with you
In this room
I can tell
We'll never be alone
Never mind ok
Never mind ok
Never mind ok
I know
You have to go
But I want to keep you to myself
Like a dream
I can tell
We'll never be alone
Never mind ok
Never mind ok
Never mind ok

[@xanfus]

I play Strfkr a lot, and my 5 and 6 year old daughters love their music too. When they ask the name of the band, I just say Star lol.

[@AnatoleAnatoleAnatole]

Ahahah that's cute

[@Gaardian]

Star Fricker.

[@koto305]

"Star Fudger"

[@THEBISCUITTREE]

STRFKR is the official abreviation

[@faithrenee3125]

Star faker lol that’s what I tell my daughter

[@coryshumann5308]

this is one of those songs you want to play over and over again but also dont want to overplay

[@ethansatterly3446]

I think this is one of those rare exceptions where the song simply can't be overplayed.

[@JayDay407]

I legitimately give myself a few months off just to appreciate it again. I only do that for the Beatles otherwise.

[@majortom8990]

It's ok if you over play. Just gets a lil better each time. Quite unusual, actually.

[@birdrustler]

This band is really good at those.

Like all the great ones

[@samsomiller]

I went to 2 strfkr concerts in 2017. One in Santa Ana, one in Santa Cruz. It was unreal. Towards the end of the concert, they all leave stage with the intro to this song playing in a loop. The crowd starts screaming "one more song, one more song". Then Strfkr comes back on stage, and when the beat of Isabella of Castille starts, it was the craziest chills I think I've ever had. Glass Animals on April 22nd and I am excited for that. Strfkr rules.

[@vapid2689]

I too saw them twice in CA in 2017, and the 2nd show had this ending. I thought the show was done. I wanted to beat the merch table rush and I was just about to buy a new shirt when they came back and began. I feel bad for the merch guy because I screamed incoherently and ran back off to the stage. Was the greatest surprise and greatest ending.

[@thisisyou420]

I was there dude!

[@BigBawller3000]

That just gave ME chills!!!!

[@stanknugget]

Sounds cheesy.

[@JC-tg1gf]

wow they sound just as cool in person as i imagined

[@tylervolpe]

This song is truly amazing.. "The beginning of philosophy is wonder. Philosophy is man's expression of curiosity about everything and his attempt to make sense of the world through his intellect."

[@anyoneyousee7772]

Bruce G I discovered Alan Watts through a KZbin video when I was like 12 and am super happy more people have found him... we can have a radical revolution of the mind

[@jenmahar1729]

Allen Watts a famous Buddhist. Starfuvker samples his countless hours of lectures ..the man was brilliant and profoundly trippy

[@sophiethegreat9]

The very beginning of the song reminds me of a past that never happened.

[@mrsexyfaceXD]

Holy shit thats deep lol I kinda felt the same way

[@RSpracticalshooting]

this makes so much sense somehow

[@YouInferiorMeatHole]

Woah

[@charlotteday669]

you put the thing into words omg

[@wiwysova]

Jesus Christ, its like I remember what I wish, not what had transpired. Like a dream I didn't realize was just masked nightmare.

[@423janie]

I remember I tried a tab from Switzerland, I heard this song for the first time when I was 18 and that night, this song was playing in the background. I was at the skate park in the back by the railroad, we decided to walk down the tracks and it felt like an eternity, but for a second the moon connected a bolt of light towards each and everyone else around me. That moment was unforgettable. We all looked at each other and smiled at the euphoric feeling this song brought back to us.

[@TauricornA]

Nice. Those are the memories to hold onto!

[@masonl8128]

Life's full of awesome shit like that, if you continue to chase such moments imo!

[@jin6000]

Beautiful story! Thank you for sharing! :)

[@abeebzcpogo]

Yo this is nice, perfect song for that sort of thing to happen to

[@jollygrapefruit786]

This song is certainly quite a trip. Psychadelic pop is an amazing genre.

[@joanofarcxxi]

My child introduced me to this band. I love it so much and it always reminds me of her.

[@jacobcarrico1999]

What a wonderful song to be reminded of your child about! ❤️

[@sayemchowdhury7820]

when he sings "I know I should go, but I want to stay here with you", my heart breaks into tiny little pieces.

[@KristianneFajardo]

reminds me of the good times when i was in Secondary school. then it reminds me that it wasn't that good at all. nostalgia is a screwed up manifestation of our regret. we want to go back and our excuse is that the past was so much better. I messed up my grades and messed up my friendships. Messed up myself in the process too. I love to convince myself that i had awesome friends and did really well then because in comparison, it really was so much better then as now I live with the consequences. We are unwilling to face what our past mistakes have become- present day limitations. For example, I can't go to university as i flunked in school. I now can't find a job. and I never blame it on myself. Nostalgia is our stubborn avoidance of our mistakes and their impacts. love this song, keep on going.

[@shaunjohnston4046]

+Kristianne Fajardo man that was way too depressing

[@justinbrody9493]

+Kristianne Fajardo How are you at parties?

[@Drew-sw7mr]

Can I quote you on that? I've never thought of it like that.

[@KristianneFajardo]

+Justin Brody well I've never been invited to one so I guess that answers your question

[@KristianneFajardo]

+Drew Cash sure!

[@jin6000]

There's such and overwhelming beauty and faint sadness in this song that just completely captivates you. I love it so much.

[@dustyroads834]

This band is on a whole different level unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. They must be from a different dimension in space and time. Wow.

[@hankskorpio5857]

I saw em live theyre good. But i wouldnt go that far lol. MGMT, STRFKR and Empire of the Sun are essentially the same thing as far as musicality and skill

[@dent6110]

​@@hankskorpio5857FAROUT my favorite bands also M83 foster the people cage the elephants

[@Vffhndsercchi]

It's like if Ren and Chinchilla had baby duck and that duck was a music prodigy.

[@xiaochen4123]

i met this guy who was on vacation in my city, we hung out, partied, ate out, hiked, tripped, walked, talked.... for a few days and i truly feel like im a complete different person now... although he's gone now and took away more than a piece of me honestly, and i don't know how to explain what i'm feeling right now and i dont know what i can do with these feelings i have for him.... the things he did left.. the crazy ass memories and this song, in specific, i will treasure them in my heart forever. i sincerely hope to see him someday again and be like how the lyrics say, i want to keep you to myself [even though i know you'll never be all mine]... thanks for existing in my life for such short amount of time.. i will always think about you cesar... and for strfkr, thanks for making this amazing song that totally captured my feelings, you guys are fucking geniuses i know that's right hehe!!

[@xiaochen9722]

you are weird

[@naruii5160]

I hope you find him again one day.

[@milesj.943]

I remember coming here years ago and the top comment really stuck with me. It needs to be back at the top: "If I could choose how I die, it would be floating in space listening to this song, looking back at Earth as I run out of air."

[@Dom213]

ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space... lol

[@jenmahar1729]

And then Allen Watts sample snaps you into the reality of suffocation

[@HeavyDirtySoulz]

Saw STRFKR live last night, lost my mind during this song. So so so beautiful.

[@1hockeysocchick]

HeavyDirtySoulz are they good live? Thinking about heading to their concert Saturday

[@samsomiller]

do it

[@cellardoor8999]

HeavyDirtySoulz best show I've ever seen

[@estefania5140]

Heartbreak and sorrow in every beat

[@blueblousedesigns]

This song and "Rawnald Gregory Erikson The Second" are songs I play to chill out to with my wireless Bluetooth headphones, to drown out most of the noise around me when I'm about to lose my shit (my sanity/mind)

[@ellbell_88]

bless my dad for showing me awesome bands during my childhood

[@candistarbuckle]

Cannot get enough of this song.

[@footballpharaoh5469]

Was high out of my mind the very first time I listened to this last Summer. Good memories.

[@raptorjesus1360]

+Morgan M. First listened to it in middle school. Now I'm a responsible adult and I've come back lit just to try it. Right there with you.

@@SuperEvilC Wtf lol...

[@Dom213]

If you ever see this Andrea, seeing them was a highlight of our life. Even after 7 years.

[@supercalifragilemystic9486]

You can feel the heartache and longing in every chord, every word, every drumbeat. I'd like to think the 1st verse was Columbus to Isabella and the 2nd was Isabella to Ferdinand, but so many of us have had this longing. I remember playing this on repeat for hours.

[@rebeccabutts9638]

this is the song i can show to anyone. no matter what kind of music they like, they always like this

[@bass2theface]

I just ended a budding relationship. It was my first one in years. I actually opened up. I put aside all insecurities built from the previous one. She ghosted me for days. In the end the insecurities got the best of me. My own thoughts ate away at me. I didn't want to lose her, but I was miserable. So we parted ways before it got serious. Does it hurt? Surprisingly, yes. She wasn't wanting anything serious, but she was a good match for me. Good music taste. Brilliant mind. Adorable. But she will never be all mine. Despite the short amount of time spent, it still hurts. I had hope I could love again. To you, my own Isabella, I will miss you, and hope to salvage a friendship ✌️

[@lagniappecouillon84]

I just made this KZbin channel to tell you that you should find a band to sing these words with as lyrics.

[@SuperEvilC]

Some girls don't want to be one mans property.

[@NerpMcDerp]

Clean break, friend.

[@tumama66664]

Bro, just relax, accept her company and enjoy with out be possesive, I went thru something similar and I learned to appreciate and accept that no one has to be from anyone and must enjoy what we really should, love, talk, dance. I recomend u to read Alan wats books (this band is inspired in his books)

[@ashes2ashes863]

Your lucky. My wife breaks all the shit I own.

[@alexb3577]

Seen them 5 times now. On the fifth time they finally played this. Pure bliss

[@Ciarrasmusic]

I have heard this song for years, my daughters dad showed it to me. We split and for many years later anytime I’d hear the beginning until the singing id bawl. That noise is internal and external and means so much to each individually. I felt it and many years later we’re back together not because of this song but now looking back I feel it again. Wow.

[@kaitlin8669]

I know I should go, but I want to stay here with you. In this room, I can tell you'll never be all mine. Never mine. Okay. Never mine. Okay. Never mine. Okay. The beginning of philosophy is wonder. Philosophy is man's expression of curiosity about everything and his attempt to make sense of the world through his intellect. I know you have to go, but I want to keep you to myself. Like a dream, I can tell you'll never be all mine. Never mine. Okay. Never mine. Okay. Never mine. Okay. Thinking, of course, is a word used in many ways and is a very vague word for most people. But I use the word thinking in a very precise way. By thinking, as distinct from feeling or emoting or sensing, I mean the manipulation of symbols-whether they be words, whether they be numbers, or whether they be other signs such as triangles, squares, circles, astrological signs, or whatever. These are symbols, although sometimes symbols are a little bit more concrete.
