Foster The People - The Holy Shangri-la [Official Audio]

Follow Foster the People:

Lyrics:
All of my life
All of my life
All of my life
I’ve lived in some kind of dream
And when I open my eyes
Open my eyes
Open my eyes
I see interdimensional beings
And it’s Alright
It’s alright
The tension with the good times
It’s alright
When it’s midnight
We’re alright
The fever breaks with sunlight
And washes all our shadows away
Close your eyes
Like nobody sees us, nobody sees us
Oh my love, we’ll be together
Through hard times
it’s ok to rely on something you’re needing to believe in
To get through to the other side
Cause in the good times we forget
We gotta hold on to the hope that we first believed in
So we never get swept away
I’m taking a ride to the holy Shangri-la
It’s hard to know what is real
All of my life
All of my life
All of my life
I’ve tried my best not to feel
The only way to get out is if we go through it all
So take my hand into the night
I know it’s easier to close your eyes
The time is come
To say a prayer
An astral song
A prophet’s glare
The white horse breathes
But don’t despair
When the death knell rings
The time is near

[TromPDF]

This one is my personal favorite on this album. The vocals and instrumental is SO good. Might be "New Thing" fever, but could easily be up there in my favorite Foster The People songs.

[deedeledeet]

How is this song one of the least viewed. This is my on repeat. I fucking get it. It’s so fucking amazing I’m like tearing up

The Holy Shangri-la - Lyrics.

All of my life, all of my life, all of my life
I've lived in some kind of dream
And when I open my eyes, open my eyes, open my eyes
I see interdimensional beings

[Verse 2]
And it's alright, it's alright
The tension with the good times
It's alright
Yeah, and when it's midnight
We're alright
The fever breaks with sunlight
And washes all our shadows away

Close your eyes
Like nobody sees us, nobody sees us
Oh, my love, we'll be together

Through hard times
It's okay to rely on something you're needing to believe in
To get through to the other side
'Cause in the good times we forget
We gotta hold on to the hope that we first believed in
So we never get swept away, hey, hey

I'm taking a ride to the holy Shangri-La
It's hard to know what is real
But all of my life, all of my life, all of my life
I've tried my best not to feel
Ooh, the only way to get out is if we go through it all
If we go through it all
Ooh, so take my hand into the night
I know it's easier to close your eyes, hey, hey, hey

The time has come
To say a prayer
An astral song
A prophet's glare
The white horse breathes
But don't despair
When the death knell rings
The time is near

So come in close to my heart
Like there's nobody else
We'll step in time and look into eternity

Through hard times
It's okay to rely on something you're needing to believe in
To get through to the other side
'Cause in the good times we forget
We gotta hold on to the hope that we first believed in
So we never get swept away

Fuck man, this is amazing. What an album if you like funky 70', 80'. Pure gold

[sokeepned]

those lyrics 🥺❤️ You were serious when you said the album would also be about hope. This is beautiful, a message I didn't know I needed to hear, thank you so much.

[karenhunter]

I love how Mark's voice goes from Barry White to Smokey Robinson in a heartbeat. He has such a cool voice and such versatility.

[nory_B]

I love the versatility of mark’s voice in this album! This one has Bee Gees vibes! 😅🎉❤

This sounds like one of their "Darkest of nights" songs, love this vibe ❤️
