Lyrics:
I don't know how to cry
Does any one these days
Know what's real
Won't you take me by the hand
I didn't want to feel
Cuz life felt too hard
Now its all a game that I don't understand
Wake up
Live someone else's dream
Smile smile
Cuz they're all watching
Shakeup shakedown
They can't hear you scream
Smile smile
Can't you hear me sing?
I don't know how to feel
Does any one these days
Even care if the next man is 'live or dead?
I didn't want to look
The daylight is too hard
I feel like somethings changed
But I can't understand
Wake up
Live someone else's dream
Smile smile
Cuz they're all watching
Shakeup shakedown
They can't hear you scream
Smile smile
Can't you hear me sing?
Wake up
Live someone else's dream
Smile smile
Cuz they're all watching
Shakeup shakedown
They can't hear you scream
Smile smile
Can't you hear me sing?
There is something strange
In my brain
Thats coming through (And I never)
I hear your name
And my brain
Tears me in two

I was almost carjacked and or stabbed. But his woman who I rescued climbed on top of him till we got where he wanted to go. And at that house was a man I knew for a long time, and an old lady who pulled her handgun on the guy and made him get out of my car. (I took the keys when I jumped out and ran inside their house)

This song does something to my body that feels good-vibes-only
This has been my new favorite song for more than a month now. Reminds me of something from before… all of this new shit. It is new, however. Yet, somehow, not derivative, completely new, original, and relevant. I played this for a friend who was in a storm of emotions, it calmed them down, made them feel centered, they looked at me and hugged me, and said that it was so beautiful. Thank you for creating this.

Saw the ad, didn’t skip, listened all the way, immediately looked this up when it was over, now I’ve listened to it about five times so far and don’t plan on stopping yet.
The simple guitar melody caught my attention in an ad and I gotta say this song is nice
Christ youtube if you just gave me ads of dope songs ide literaly never skip an ad again.
Please keep making music like this, I need more of it man.
Rare Advert W. I have been listening to this non-stop ever since.
This is personally the only KZread ad that I could not skip. This song really takes the 80’s aspect and art visuals of it, and it is incredibly chilling and satisfying! Thanks, Tame Impala for leading me to this masterpiece!

Man, I remember hearing this song for the first time and I still can't get enough of it. You can be in any mood and feel good when you hear this. Love the vid too keep up the amazing work
This isn't music it's a feeling, the kowloons
This song is chill af but also kind of deep/depressing when you think about it. Exactly my kind of jam.
This is my new repeat song for a long time. Only youtube ad I’ve literally ever cared about
found this song in 2021, probably one of my all time favorite songs of the decade so far. amazing visualizer
Helped me through some tough days. Just vibing it thru, dancing on my anxieties or worries away. Helped me walk roads when it felt dark.

Discovered this song by pure accident by ads. I usually hate ads on here and try to skip as soon as possible, but this immdiately caught my ears. That guitar + bass riff----sick as hell! the mellow vocals! the music video's art style with it's pop colors and cel-animation type of feel to it.... good ass song 11/10
I had this song as an ad yesterday and since then i have a total earworm of it. Love it, keep this great music up!❤️👍
Favourite song and the album is fantastic too. Underrated as f.
Adding this to the winter playlist 🕊☮️✌️🏂

Man how tf this song become my favorite song in hearing the first 30 seconds…amazing music !!!!!!
Absolutely obsessed with the singing bird at 0:53
