This song has been looping in my head for weeks, and I've just got to put it out there, it's an under appreciated musical masterpiece. The pulsating rhythms, the sexy as hell bass line, the "often purposely hitting the wrong notes" piano part, and Andrew's subtle vocals make this an incredible listening experience. "I might feel better, knowing I wasn't alone." That line alone comes to the forefront of my brain at least five times a day and I don't know why. It's mostly because I have a crush on someone, and in the midst of our chaotic live I'm trying to debate the best way to go about things and this line keeps reminding me that I'm currently lonely and need to seek protection in others. The song exempts no human emotions. There's sadness, despair, loneliness, a touch of happiness, it's got the works. The video makes me feel this is about someone trying to help someone or themselves out of a drug addiction, but I also feel this could apply to almost any situation that has strong emotions, since it's at its root a very human song. I just absolutely love it, and it's a masterpiece. If you haven't checked out MGMT's new album, I suggest you do.
