Lyrics:
News came today we found a sea of air
When we went back nothing was there
It towered so tall it nearly left the ground
Still when we looked nothing was found
There was nothing out there no nothing at all
Nothing but space nothing but ground
All the things I want and the things I need
When there's nothing but stars looking back at me
But I'll be brave
When the time it comes around
I'll be brave yeah I'll be brave
Just let me go now
We got the whole world hanging there
In our little sea of air
We got the whole world just hanging out
We got no seed of doubt
We got the whole world hanging there
When you talk to god about suicide
When you never hear back I hope you're still alive
And the part of you that never cared
You can leave it here in the sea of air
But I'll be brave
When the time it comes around
I'll be brave yeah I'll be brave
Just let me go now
We got the whole world hanging there
In our little sea of air
We got the whole world just hanging out
We got no seed of doubt
We got the whole world hanging there
In our little sea of air

Portugal. The Man took 2017 by the horns after a considerably long gap, between records. They spent years working on an album called Gloomin + Doomin before later developing what would become known as their latest studio album WOODSTOCK. Fate struck lead singer, John Gourley, twice. First, John got some parental tough love from his old man. “What’s taking so long to finish the album?,” John’s dad asked. “Isn’t that what bands do? Write songs and then put them out?” The whole thing got John thinking about why the band seemed to be stuck on a musical elliptical machine from hell and more importantly, about how to get off of it. Second, John found his dad’s ticket stub from the original 1969 Woodstock music festival, which ultimately knocked something loose in his head. He realized that, in the same tradition of bands from that era, Portugal. The Man needed to speak out about the world crumbling around them.
With these two ideas converging, the band made a seemingly bat-shit-crazy decision: they took all of the work they had done for the three years prior and threw it out. The band went back to the studio - working with John Hill, Danger Mouse and longtime collaborator Casey Bates. In this new-found creative territory, the album that became WOODSTOCK rolled out naturally from there. Fast forward to present day and it was impossible to escape the album’s first single “Feel It Still,” which dominated the charts and radio airwaves in 2017. The 6X Platinum Certified hit reigned at #1 at nearly all radio formats, including Top 40, as well as Alternative, where the song held the chart’s top spot for a mind-blowing 20 weeks, breaking the record for most weeks at #1. Yes, you read that right. 5 guys from Wasilla, Alaska who have played nearly 1,500 shows in their career broke Alternative radio records and had a #1 song at Pop radio. Billboard Magazine even went as far as to call the song, “the unexpected rock crossover hit of 2017,” while Rolling Stone listed it as “one of the best songs of 2017.” AND THEN…the band kicked off 2018 by winning a GRAMMY Award for “Feel It Still.” WOODSTOCK has since been certified gold, as has their second single “Live In The Moment”.

this album is beautiful and the meanings behind them are too. the raw scariness some hold is what makes them so gorgeous , it is so pure in the way that it shows evil in the prettiest way. and love in its most destructive form. the oxymorons in this album are infinite and that is why portugal. the man is my favorite band. i fucking love you guys. this is art.

You know, I've never been a fan of Sherlock Holmes - unless it's Basil Rathbone on Old Time Radio. I've always found the TV versions to be awful. But I gave the first ep of Elementary a watch - and was instantly hooked. Excellent premise, superb writing . Jonny Lee Miller is fantastic. And Lucy Liu is perfect as a "roped in by accident but learns fast" Watson. It doesn't harm the original books or stories. It simply borrows the characters and sets them loose. I was going to watch the Benedict Cucumberpatch series, but I cannot stand Martin Freeman. Benedict is ace! If you've never heard the radio series "Cabin Pressure" you MUST find it. The cast loved being in it, had lots of fun making it - Benedict in one episode has a croaky voice, as he'd had some throat surgery, but he valiantly soldiered on - and Anthony Head recorded one episode in a booth in America, live, with the rest of the crew. Try and catch it, it's tons of fun. So if you're NOT really into Sherlock Holmes, definitely give "Elementary" a go. It's just perfect!!

Commenting this because I haven't seen anyone else mention this take. This song really reminds me of being at Christian summer camp and the contrast between being a small child and growing up and realizing the truth about the indifference of our reality. The clapping and the guitar are really very much like being in a echoy raw pine built church. The line "We got the whole world hanging there..." is a lot like the child's hymn "He's got the whole world ... in his hands" It has a similar cadence and similar beats but the message is the opposite. There's nothing for us to hang our identity on: we are not God's children, and this world isn't the creation of a god. The song is about the facing reality and understanding if you or someone else decides to check out of it.

What they want to get across..whatever it is it feels very human and natural. You end up finding comfort in a song even though its meaning is so dark. I think that's why its called evil friends.. how can a friend be evil?

I'm going through Elementary for the first time. I got burned on Amazon - watched almost all of S1 then it changed to BUY EPISODE / BUY SEASON as I was watching. No warning!! So I bought the box set from eBay - 39 discs ! The complete collection! Not bad. But back to the song. It played during an emotional scene, and I had to find out about it. It's a really nice song. It fits your mood perfectly - a bit like The Decemberists. A wonderful song!
