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”.

2:22 that sudden change scared the shit out of me XD

[bitchimfabu]

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.

[dakotarubio]

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
Well you can leave it here in the sea of air <3

[TroxyBoxy]

By far one of my favorite songs of all time. So emotional and unifying, I feel (ironically) like the song is reaching out to some inner spirit of mine. Legitimately brought tears to my eyes, an overlooked jem right here.

[skt_]

"When you talk to god about suicide, when you never hear back I hope your still alive" Deep shit right there

[sassypenguinsknits]

why do I feel like crying? what- this is just beautiful

[mattsbluntwrap]

"Just let me go outtt" and the music kicks in... Goosebumps

[joaomiranda]

It's came the day 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 up there no, 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, I'll be brave, I'll be brave
When the timing comes around, I'll be brave yeah I'll be brave
Just let me go now
Let me go now
We've got the whole world hanging there
In our little sea of air
We've got the whole world hanging there
In our little sea of air
We've got the whole world just hanging out
We've got no seed of doubt
We've 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, we're in the sea of air
But, I'll be brave, I'll be brave, I'll be brave
When the timing comes around, I'll be brave yeah I'll be brave
Just let me go now
We've got the whole world hanging there
In our little sea of air
We've got the whole world hanging there
In our little sea of air
We've got the whole world just hanging out
We've got no seed of doubt
We've got the whole world hanging there
In our little sea of air
We got the whole world hanging there
In our little sea of air
We got the whole world hanging there
In our little sea of air
We got the whole world hanging there
In our little sea of air
We got the whole world hanging there
In our little sea of air
In our little sea of air
In our little sea of air
In our little sea of air
In our little sea of air
In our little sea of air
In our little sea of air
In our little sea of air
In our little sea of air

2021 this album still means the world to me.

Holmes: "You know, I’d quite like to go with you next time. To the cemetery. Obviously, the mistake that you made – it changed the course of your life. The man seems to have left quite an impression, as well. I’d just like to pay my respects."

[KitwiSauce]

I love you guys for your art. Thank you

[davidkim]

Damn...how is this song so good even now,

[EnvyOmicron]

I like that the tune of this song sounds very happy and upbeat, while the lyrics are all about how small and insignificant the human race is compared to the vastness of the universe. It's almost Lovecraftian in that regard.

[meatdamilkman]

Brilliant and of the greatest lyrics I've ever heard!!!

[outsidecreativestudio]

What a pity to have discovered it only now! Or maybe it could be a luck, because this band is phenomenal.

[PrivatePooter]

I just have to thank FIFA 14 for bringing this band to light for me

[Lovelydarling]

This song came on the radio and me and my sister were both like. Wait what good music?!?!

[Zenbridge]

Heard this on the Elementary episode Solve for X. Amazing song.

[nosexforjoe]

Finally an album that is WORTH PAYING FOR!!

[rafaelvalente]

I've always thought that he sang like that: "Well, I've talked to God about suicide. And he never came back, I hope he's still alive."
and used to think "what a freaking genius"
