It's so scary how bands like the presets only have 17k subscribers. What the hell has happened in this world that such good music goes unnoticed.

[@andysings]

All by design! Brilliant we still get to hear these brilliant creators. For we're all amazing creator beings. The fat controllers are Finished... now. It's just living your best life as we watch it ALL FALL DOWN - Yeeeouuu!!!!! Peace and love andria

[@Boss-gd2ij]

1 billion listeners and counting

[@aceyboy]

Bro same. I think it's got to do with music evolution and people's attention spans. Whenever I listen to new songs it feels like my ears are being assaulted with non-stop loud noises. Like they were made for Tiktok sound bytes. Listening to older music feels like my eardrums are getting a rest and I can actually enjoy it. Even Presets whose style is loud still sounds muted compared to the obnoxious crap being pumped out today.

I have been waiting for years a band that could take my breath away like the bands from the 80s did. This band does it, every track is incredible. Their training and talent is amazing.

[@k-leb4671]

Speaking of the 80s, this song's lyrics are similar to Split Enz's I Hope I Never.

[@davidhanifin]

To date, this is still one of my favourite Preset Tracks. It's a great balance of meaningful deep lyrics and energetic euphoric beats.

I love this song and The Presets! They're a part from my best years of my Childhood!! Since 2009 I haven't heard this great song until March 2021!!! Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽!

[@jsephhd]

I was looking for this song day and night everyday. I kept typing the "I hope I never, I hope I never have to We're a waste of time" lyrics and some gibberish but it never came up on google. I found this by looking through my old iTunes playlist! THANK GOSH!

[@pieceofschmit3399]

I'm gonna take a moment to be self-indulgent here- I was around 16 when Apocalypso was released and I thought the whole album was so great, it was a type of music I hadn't heard much of before. So I wanted to show my friends but when I did they didn't appreciate it in the slightest. It's 2017 and I still love the Presets' music just as much, while those friends have all grown out of the music they were listening to at the time.

[@RitaColacoNuminous]

Because true music always stays with us

[@soremachifan]

The Presets have got to do more songs like this. Utilising the deep vocals instead of electronic music. I love their other music but this song and Ghosts stand out.

[@asdfvgkhljk]

I Totally agree with you.

[@cucumber_sooshi]

have you heard their new album hi viz? so disappointed there aren't any songs like this. he masks his voice and shit and it's like oh, a bit sad really. good but not great and still sad we can't hear this awesome voice like this.

[@rayceeya8659]

Have you ever heard "The Girl and the Sea"? Its their best non-dance ballad ever. Makes me tear up a bit thinking of the self-discribed mermaid I was dating back then.

Wow, exactly 13 years has gone already... Today ( February 15th) in 2009 was released this song with the video.

Thank you The Presets since 2008.

Lyrics Clever lier, fooling us all, never thought I'd work it out How could I have known it was ever about you boy? Now there's nothing to say, there's no words and we're not talking anyhow You must have known I was never to doubt you boy If it was so fine, it was so good, oh you're unbelievable All this time I've been living without you boy, not your lying It felt so good, the world don't know, now they'll never find out All these years she must've been beside you boy Don't forget that I was the one that you found And if I know you, you'll find me someplace new I hope I never, I hope I never have to We're a waste of time And if I know you, learned long ago it's true I hope I never, I hope I never have to Go and explain, explain it again, boy that this all started Found you lying in the arms of another girl so stop your crying Day after day, year after year, far too long it lasted Must have thought I was nothing without you boy Don't forget that I was the one that you found And if I know you, you'll find me someplace new I hope I never, I hope I never have to We're a waste of time And if I know you, learned long ago it's true I hope I never, I hope I never have to And tonight if we learn that the world's on fire I guess I'll turn to you I hope I never, I hope I never have to I've failed to fight, so hard to fight And I cant find a way for you and I to go on like this I'm always learning things the hard, hard, hardest way 'Cause I was the one that you found And if I know you, you'll find me someplace new I hope you never, I hope you never get to Tonight, if we learn that the world's on fire I guess I'll turn to you I hope I never, I hope I never have to

Given the geographic isolation of Australia, the evolution of indigenous species produced some of the most unique animals on the globe.

Alyssa, just because a person is singing a song in first person doesn't mean they wrote it about themselves (they may not even be the person who wrote it).
