+Nathan Parsons it is what it is

Probably the best song about self-delusion ever written

I have never heard a song which better captures the human psyche. The sonic textures create a swirling state of internal chaos. And the lyrics, which portray intense optimism that is immediately undercut by pessimism, brilliantly matches the nature of the music, evoking the feelings of euphoria one has when in love, but also the self-doubt that surrounds each crevice of your mind. This is one of the greatest songs of all time.

it is all that, but specifically within the context of a heroin high (described in the 1st half of the song): the delusional optimism that comes from feeling so intensely GOOD within yourself that every single thing around you is interpreted to its most positive, pleasant degree - followed by the sober realization of what was actually going on. this is a love song to heroin.

@@heatherkingsley4755 Can't comment on heroin, but back in school LSD (especially) and 'Shrooms put this song and this band on many a cassette. By the way, I managed to manhandle a Masters, so I'm likely to die superior but unhappy

Incredible word-play in this. I think I’m in awe, probably just listening to this song.

i'm always forgetting about spiritualized. what an oversight.

That's probably because Jason and his band are hardly prolific when it comes to recording new material... Amazing little combo though aren't they ??!!.

A masterpiece about being jacked up and not giving a toss...

Underrated genius.

this life is a little easier having Jason on the planet. When his spaceship landed, he chose to stay. He reminds me that I am not alone. The spoon, belt, and packet don't work no more.

What a tune, what an album, what an act.

Awesome. This Sound has hypnotysed me since very first I Heard it. there was DJ in Hogan's pub (Dublin). This dude used to bang it at least twice every night. He definetely knew what he was doing.

One of my favorites EVER!!!

God I love Jason. He is the perfect prescription. Let the light be forever green. I'm burning fire if you know what I mean.

Sunday Night Glasto 1998 mudfest.... as the sun set and Spiritualized took the stage even though I didn't really know it at the time I was in for something SPECIAL. Amazing bands years ahead of their time, Thanks Nick for this and so, so much more of my musical education, :D xxx

Exactly , you just have to go through it to understand this song :D !

I saw God one night. It happened at Radio City Music Hall July 30, 2010. Jason took me there, acting like some sort of musical Beatrice to my Dante

Sorry, Neil and Buzz, this is the greatest spaceman who ever lived.

I think I love this song

i think im in another world and it´s so good...thank you for give me this moments!!!

Amen brother.

saw them in Atlanta Ga at the earthlink arena in midtown. don't know what it is called now. this was back like 12+ years ago. They were absolutely awesome live and was one of the bands in my list that i always have wanted to see live. I can't remember, but i think either it was a double bill with the band Air or else Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. I really can't remember, but it was a great venue and show.

I think I'm in love with this band

Still as genius as ever....

HUGE Spiritualized fan seen them 3 or 4 times in Detroit just amazing.....but after all that shit went down with Kate never been the same. Best release was a bootleg called good dope good fun.

Love this song so much...

Sums up my year. Perfectly.

oh lord, look what state I am in

A true masterpiece

acidic and funny masterpiece

This is a brilliant tune love it

Esta rollona me regresa a la primera mitad. de los 2000 cuando senti lo que el desamor es.

Yep. Perfect.

Genius!

I found the "Spiritualized" written on an old piece of paper in an antique box I keep momentos in... I think past me knew I would instantly appreciate it

Think this music's too good to be true... / Probably just Jason

I listened to this song with a huge smile on my face for over 8 minutes... Then i scrolled down to see the comments and was like "...the fuck??"

This pisses over most of anything that came out of the 90s. Absolute genius.

ha ha! the band that gave us one of the best album titles ever - "taking drugs to make music to take drugs to" miss them and not into the direction he took after this album (bluesy gospel - nice but not my bag, man..)

Couldn't have put it better myself Jason Spaceman

Fuckjng THIS.

*probably just dreaming...*

if you get too upset ljb, realize that we have all found faulted sonnets on youtube, but far fewer than all are worth getting upset over>no, I think its right to throw back a corrective, but allowing for some recovery, unless the person was writing something truly insane! correctively...

I love you Melisa ~

cool as fuck

It makes me sad when the papers are full of crap like One direction when there is music like this

don't they?...

@braddyboy82 Culturally your having a laugh your bicentennial was in 1976

this is so good, if you like a remood music also look at Daft Punk the album, it is so tight

think I'm alive...

Not all Americans are ignorant. But the loudmouth braggarts on the internet and the obnoxious tourists definitely are. It's a pretty even 50/50 split. I've lived here all of my life and all the people I hang with are cool. Shit, you'd probably like them.

I agree, but because none of that is relevant today, my point stands.

You're talking about heroin, right ?

Cómo querés que te despierte?

Making drugs to take music to

Spoken just like someone who never really had a habit. Pardon me if you did.

what. the. fuck?

Lol aint best song ever. Spiritualized is great i love em but they hav way better songs than this. Like: Ladies & gentlemen..., Let it flow, Feel so sad, You kno its true, Spread your wings, and more. This song is kinda tedious and redundant. Altho its not horrible, does hav a decent catch

Fernando Partridge well personal opinion, then u cud say this is their best. but going by ratings, this isnt their top. LAGWAFIS is recognized & liked more than this but i can understand why this is your favorite, its unique to any of their other songs and has a catch to it. just depends how you look at it i suppose. peace M.J. Kalloor all music are about mood :-p all songs are made from some sort of emotion. you cud say maybe an ambiance song or something like that but what you said doesnt really make sense. i understand the songs with little lyrics is more muscially oriented but every song with or without lyrics are 'about a mood'
