As a Brazilian, i must say that this video is an accurate representation of the daily life of an average Brazilian citizen. Ans that includes having breakfast wearing huge animal masks and playing guitar in the mountains until you fall into space.

three years later and he’s still thriving with his green screen.

This was my best friend’s favorite song. He passed away when we were 20. Im 22 now and check back on this music video every couple of weeks. Beautiful song

I don't think I'll ever be tired of this song

The voice cracks aren’t tolerable in other types of music but that’s the good about indie music, no autotune, no over productivity of the track, just a raw feeling and that warm feeling. I love that he doesn’t use autotune which is why I think a lot of people love his music and I love it too.

So kid...what effects do you want? YES

Just for me: I heard you sold the Amazon To show the country that you're from Is where the world should want to be For a fine something all people need I'm faithless now Though we win every time and I don't know how 'Cause I haven't bought you and I haven't sold me But the people are dying to get on TV I heard he lives down a river somewhere With six cars and a grizzly bear He's got eyes, but he can't see Well he talks like an angel, but he looks like me Oh, Lord! What have I become? I'm the face of God, I'm my father's son I'm not what you think you see I know you can't eat leather, but you can't stop me Why would you lie, why would you lie about how you feel? I've got a mission and my mission is real Because you've had your chances, yeah you've had enough I'm gonna burn your house down to spread peace and love And it gets me down Oh, Lord, how it gets me down I heard he lives down a river somewhere With six cars and a grizzly bear He's got eyes, but he can't see Well he talks like an angel, but he looks like me Oh, Lord! I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil 'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game out in Brazil And it's all you've ever wanted, and it's all that you want still Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil? I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil 'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game out in Brazil And it's all you've ever wanted, and it's all that you want still Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil? I heard he lives down a river somewhere With six cars and a grizzly bear He's got eyes, but he can't see Well he talks like an angel, but he looks like me I heard he lives down a river somewhere With six cars and a grizzly bear He's got eyes, but he can't see Well he talks like an angel, but he looks like me

I'm sure that this comment will get lost in the depths of the internet somewhere in about a days time but I feel such an urge to write it anyway. This song has been a lifeline for me. I don't know why. It's not a fantastically written genius masterpiece and yet it is the most special song to me. It reaches a part of me that most things can't these days. It feels so honest, sad and yet hopeful- like the end of a beautiful film. It is pure and inspires a sort of young love deep within me, almost like an old friend. Through death, love, depression and heartbreak it has been here and I will always be thankful for it. Thank you Declan x

This kid made a song with a strong political and social meaning, put in it a brilliant riff, sang it in a strangely charming and scratchy way. Was being born that phenomenon called Declan McKenna.

I met Declan 2 nights in a row. I called him memelord Declan. He signed my shirt as memelord Declan. He is completely awkward, super sweet. The hugs were so funny because I am just as awkward. We went for them like 3 x before we hugged it out.

2024 anyone?

The guitar riff for this song is IMMACULATE!!!

it's like a 90s student made film that im obsessed with

Título :Brazil Brasileiros:hummmmm.....vou clicar rsrsrsrs

This song means a lot to me. This girl showed me it, she played it all the time. We always went on late night drives together to all sorts of lookouts and spots. She took me to places from her childhood and shared it all with me. This song reminds me of that feeling of being with her and looking into her gorgeous blue eyes. I told her what it meant to me and it’s become an important song to us. I hope I see her again soon.

I was introduced to this song by an old sailing instructor at a camp once… He played this song on a little dinghy the club used for coaching and stuff. We were on the dinghy and he asked me what music I listened to and I just said to play whatever. He put this song on and started to sing and hum along. Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of a time where nothing mattered but the wind and the tide… Love you Coach Phil 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 I’ll never forget you.

He looks and reminds me of James from the end of the f****** world

The voice cracks are adorable

If you have a minute, just sit for a second here, Friend. Let's look at the stars together. The night sky is always there even 7 years later :)

How the fuck has this song been out 6 years and I've only just discovered it? From Radio 1 of all places as well 😂

Why am I obsessed with those voice cracks

when you get your first green screen

Qué hermosa canción, dejaré mi comentario para regresar cada vez que alguien lo reaccione! :D

ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE. FLAWLESS IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE

6.3 million views? I thought i watched it more than that... :/

When you discover the 80s vaporwave aesthetic

this song is almost 7 years old and i've listened it lately for the first time, this makes me so mad, i wish I discovered this song at his release

6 years later and this is still stuck in my head.........

lyrics: I heard you sold the Amazon To show the country that you're from Is where the world should want to be For fine something all people need I'm faithless now though we win Every time and I don't know how 'Cause I haven't bought you And I haven't sold me But the people are dying to, to get on TV I heard he lives down a river somewhere With six cars and a grizzly bear He's got eyes, but he can't see Well, he talks like an angel but he looks like me Oh Lord, what have I become?

hits different when you haven't heard this song in a year or two and you can't sleep and it's 4:30am and you've got this specific guitar riff stuck in your head and you're like "fuck what is that" so you start playing it a little on your uke and suddenly it clicks

Driving my old winding road down to Muir Beach with my little Dasha, sharing with her that special place and time in my life. This song playing... Heaven on earth

im so insanely obsessed with this song

For some reason this song makes me sad. Reminds me back when I listened to this when I was in art class in 2016 now I’m in the military. Just make make think back on what I was

"So I was thinking... Can we add ALL the effects?"

In case anyone was curious like myself what this song was about, which after reading makes the video and lyrics have a sweet burn: "“Brazil” is a protest song criticizing FIFA, the international governing body of association football, and their decision of awarding the 2014 FIFA World Cup to Brazil, without addressing the extensive and deep poverty affecting Brazilians and “doing anything for the communities.” Although the song was just intended to be a dig at corruption, it took a whole new life with the FIFA corruption scandal that emerged in 2015 and has been deeply associated with the downfall from office of Sepp Blatter, FIFA’s president from 1998 to 2015."

Me and my family play this song every roadtrip, even tho something happens, this song always puts us back into a good mood. We just can't be in a bad mood when it plays! That's how good it is!!

This song is so good, they named a Portuguese colony after it

his peachy eyeshadow matching his sweater and with his overalls is honestly giving me so much life

I’m so glad this song is finally getting more recognition!

The deepest lyrics in modern song with an all too happy riff that prompts tears which shouldn't fall. Bravo. Congratulations Declan!

agora é "i heard you burn the Amazon"

HOW DO I eXPReSS HOW THIS SONG MAKeS Me FeeL

Everytime i hear this song, the music video is exactly the representation of what's going on inside my mind. Such a masterpiece.

WE GON' MAKE IT OUTTA BRAZIL WITH THIS ONE🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥

Quando vc ganha seu primeiro "fundo verde"

Legend has it, they named a whole nationality after this song.

I remember listening to this song as a kid and feeling so important and special and proud of who I am and where I’m from. I thought that it was incredible that someone not even from Brazil made a whole song about it! I felt so happy and welcomed. Thank you :) 🇧🇷 🙏

I went to Italy this year for an exchange program during June. I heard this song at a “last day of school concert” and from then on I listened to it the entire trip. It holds so much meaning to me, but now that the trips over it makes me so incredibly sad for a multitude of reasons. Cheers to my first month of freedom and I look forward to traveling so much more in the future.

I heard you sold the amazon To show the country that you're from Is where the world should want to be for find something all people need I'm faithless now though we win every time and I don't know how 'Cause I haven't bought you and I haven't sold me But the people are dying to get on tv I heard he lives down a river somewhere With 6 cars and a grizzly bear He's got eyes, but he can't see Well, he talks like an angel but he looks like me Oh lord!

IT'S 4 AM I'M SO DRUNK wHAT IS THIS? ART?

back when spotify was good!

This song brings back so much nostalgia

Declan is exactly what I've been looking for recently. I'm so bored of the radio and everyone pretty much. He's just so refreshing :)

BEHIND THE SCENES VIDEO PLEEEAAAAASSEEEE

This is a song that’ll save me from vecna

I LOVE THIS SONG SM

Do u guys remember when the actual video used to be him just walking around and singing???? Now I feel like he is doing what he really wants to do, and showing his true side 🌸🌸🌸

"People are dying to get on TV" is about the three workers who died while constructing the stadium. Damn

this song gets me so excited for summer :')

This song feels like growing up as a teenager, time rushing by… boutta be in the summer between junior and senior year rn… reminds me of the love of my life, my best friend, who makes me feel alive and has got me off my sorry ass since the first day we met. Idk if she’s played this when we were together but it feels like she has for sureee

*Os brasileiros acham que engana alguém escrevendo em inglês kkkk*

This video is just crazy. Not as crazy as the daily life in Brazil, but it is crazy.

Who woke up to this song ... the rhythm is so addictive.

Broooo I remember hearing this song on the radio when I was a kid but I couldn’t remember the name to save my life. I’m crying man, this song was so good.

director: what crazy effects do you want? declan: yes.

I heard you sold the Amazon To show the country that you're from Is where the world should want to be For fine something all people need I'm faithless now though we win Every time and I don't know how 'Cause I haven't bought you And I haven't sold me But the people are dying to, to get on TV I heard he lives down a river somewhere With six cars and a grizzly bear He's got eyes, but he can't see Well, he talks like an angel but he looks like me Oh Lord, what have I become?

I'm literally so happy this song exists ❤️❤️❤️

This is serotonin straight to my veins

1980s seapunk hipster vaporwave ironic grunge aesthetic.... im on board

This video is literally what goes on in my head all the time.

this is my happy song. it reminds me of my camp one of my top songs i would play on the bus

This brings back so many memories. My old camp counselors used to play this song every morning to wake us up. It also played in other spots in the camp. I never found the song, and it just popped up in a KZfaq short. Thanks for the good times.

O cara previu o estado do país um ano antes k

his little voice cracks are so cute

me crying cause this songs brings me peace the peace i ache for but when i take it off, it's back to reality..

I am obsessed with the 90s theme anyone else?

My fave video of urs ever ever ever

Heard this song on the least day of school blasted over the speakers at our fun fair. It was hot and humid, the sky was a clear blue and I've never heard a song so on point.

come to brazil legend!

"Fun" fact: in the 2016 olympics the government of Rio built a wall in front of the favelas, next to the motorway (their excuse was that the motorway is too loud) so that the tourists who came from the northern airport, travelling to the rich southern hotels, WONT see all the favelas and the poor people :(

he really wrote a song pointing out how socio-economic instability and inequality in Brazil opens up space for exploitative corporations and governing institutions who take advantage of an almost religious kind of idolization to hide their corruption. KING 👑

If or WHEN human civilization comes to a screeching halt..this is the song that will put us all to rest.

This song makes me so emotional for no reason. Something about the lines “he got eyes, but he can’t see, he talks like an angel but he looks like me” just makes me cry rivers fr

Como chamar atenção de Brasileiros Fazer um meme (🚫) Falar do Brasil (✔)

They played Declan Mckenna at my local coffee shop and I was so fucking happy and I live in a small fucking town.

This song saved my life back in 10th grade. Listening to it for the first time in years hits different.

Best music heard from my favorite Airline while in a flight « Perfect to sleep » My favorite Airline is EVA AIR Thank you so much -David

parece o garoto do The end of the fucking world

*this song makes me want to buy an electric guitar, huge animal masks, a car and most importantly six grizzly bears*

You are a muse. I hope you are taking care of yourself because you deserve really good things. Pure, natural talent. Please keep sharing your gift with the world! :)

This song is so beautiful why its not very popular.

no idea how to explain the way this song makes me feel?? idek but his voice is like literal asmr or like drugs because i'm already so in love with his music

So this is what James from TEOTFW is doing while we’re waiting for season 2.

As someone with the name Declan, it's really cool to see a famous musician with my name because it's a fairly ubscure name outside of the UK and Australia. Cheers Declan McKenna, keep rocking brother 🎸

this song reminds me of my first high school year, makes me wanna cry because of the nostalgia :(

I want six cars and a grizzly bear

Anyone else from Brazil here ? Alguém mais do Brasil aqui ?

This song still thriving.

I hate ppl are focusing on the green screen n not on this banger 😢

Those are some quality voice cracks right there👌🏻
