Local Natives - When Am I Gonna Lose You (Official Music Video) 

I hear this song every time i get a set of new work gloves.

Foals, The National and Local Natives.... This year is gonna be awesome.

I remember feeling lost after my boyfriend of 5 years and I broke up. I wandered around expecting him to show up at random moments, staring out into space for what felt like hours at a time, sitting alone in my living room feeling like if I left the couch I would fall into a hole in the floor, or maybe I was just hoping that I would. It took me a couple of years to finally feel like I was over him, but every once in a while, when I hear a song we liked or see something that he would wear in a store, I will feel that pang of my heart cracking just a little bit at the corners, like an old plate that's been dropped and glued back together too many times. It's funny, but I always knew that we wouldn't stay together and I even told him so. About 2 years in I told him that I was just a stepping stone for him to get to the other side of his creek of life, a means for him to find his way back to where he wanted to be. He laughed it off at the time, but when we broke up after he got out of alcohol rehab and moved to Chicago he told me I was right and had been all along. This song reminds me of when I told him he would eventually leave me, and I was just waiting to lose him.

"And the light that was still slipping through was painting your body in stripes" That is so perfect. Whoever wrote that line is genius

"I remember trees coming down like an archangel choir"....powerful and riveting verse.

It's so simple how they portrayed that post-breakup feel in this video. That sobering 'what do I do with myself now.' Feeling lost in a supermarket-- learning to just shop for yourself again. Wandering around your house, expecting to see your lover. I think my favorite part is the champagne. She pours it out for someone else, as she must have many times before, but realizes she must drink it herself. Break-ups force us to be alone and focus (almost) entirely on ourselves again. Whether it was intentional or not, I see the champagne as symbolic of her doing something for someone else /out of habit/ and then realizing she deserves that taste/ceremony of celebration too.

Local Native's music is too damn underappreciated. Life is Strange introduced me to them and I have been hooked up since. These guys need more exposure!

I've never found a song that so perfectly encapsulates the anxieties of being in a relationship, being helplessly in love and scared to lose something so precious to you. it's crafted so masterfully, the lyrics and the instrumentation meld together like a piece of fine art. i can't listen to this song without sobbing like a baby because it describes a deeply personal feeling i can't ever express in words. thank you for creating something so beautiful and special ❤

This is one of the most addictive songs I've ever heard !!!

This bridge cuts DEEP

I think this music video is showing how some people focus so much on the idea of losing their partner, that they forget that they are still with them and enjoy the moment. Thats why at the end, when the sign says, turn around, it is to remind her that her partner is still right there.

LIS is helping me improve my playlist. Thanks again.

this S L A P S but in a like nostalgic warm summer time way

"I remember the trees tumbling down like an Archangel Choir."

This song really speaks to me, Sometimes relationships are too good to be true so that's one of the questions you ask yourself sometimes 🌻

I love the double meaning of “The shadow play that we’re castin’” because it could also “cast in”, meaning that either they orchestrated the movements of their silhouettes on the wall or they’re merely playing a part in this grand play, which was a clue that they were going to break up

Who else has this song on repeat right now?

This song has POWER. I was on a run at 4:30am, just because. Ran through a playlist until I heard...THIS. Listened to it over and over, felt emotion welling up. Couldn't explain it for the life of me then but now... it was hurt. Confusion. Divorce. That ill you feel when you're still in love but you know it's over. But, don't know why. And worse, you don't know your next step. To feel that again, after over ten years... This song has POWER.

I've been happily married for 15 years but somehow this song breaks my heart and conjures a pain inside me that makes no sense to be there. Music is transformative.

Chills at 3:20 every time. When they come in with the full band and the vocal harmonies as they repeat that verse, it just hits different. Beautiful imagery and music.

es Radio Doble Nueve 99.1FM Lima, Perú!

The way I interpret the song is when falling in love with someone so deeply. Those magical moments in detail. that you get anxiety of the thought of losing them. Like when describing laying by her so elegantly I seen it and how it felt with the person I love. You can't help but feel that power that you can't imagine a life with out them.

Heard this on Alt Nation and turned the volume up! I immediately fell in love with this song👏🏼

I wish I could hear this again for the first time. I miss 2019 so much.

Thanks, Local Natives, for writing a song I can't share with my girlfriend without her thinking about us breaking up 😂

I remember you closing the shutters And laying down by my side And the light that was still slipping through It was painting your body in stripes I remember the trees summoned down Like an archangel choir And the ocean was all we could see And I knew that I wanted you

Wow, I've been so focused on Kate Mara the whole time, I JUST noticed the band is grocery shopping all around her.

I love this music video. The way it captures the feeling of staring into space, lost in thought, and yet dizzying feeling of being alone with worry. How the actress has all these small nervous tendencies like grabbing a single orange, swishing the cafe drink, swaying her feet. It's all ways to keep yourself preoccupied so people won't know you don't actually know what you're doing, just feeling lost. Yet, you have to keep going in life.

Love how she's alone the whole time, there is NO sign of her lost love as it always goes... the grocery store and couch scenes flippin' nailed it

I'm losing him right now and I can't say the song helps, but at least it doesn't make it hurt more. Kate Mara is stunning.

The falsetto in the chorus, mixed with the vaguely 80s feel of the instrumentation, reminds me so much of La Roux. Such a great song!

"Hello Haven Springs, here Steph!"

I got chills. Local Natives never disappoint.

This goes out to all the people with crippling relationship anxiety! You're still worthwhile, even if you feel you're not.

When a song makes you think of someone/something in the first 30 seconds..... and it hits since the first time you hear it. That is when you know it’s going to be GOLD 🤩

Yeah!!! Welcome back in Life is strange 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

The harmonies are out of this world, I can't explain it, the vocals are nostalgic, but new at the same time. I guess it's never easy to explain greatness. 🤯😊

If I didn't play Life is Strange I wouldn't know of this amazing band

This song hits really hard if you've lost someone special. But I can say it's a beautiful pain. It's good to feel it every now and then when reliving memories. Love this song for it.

I feel this, ladies and gentlemen never waste your time on a man/woman that doesn't care about you its okay to be hurt and depressed for a little bit but if someone wants to walk out of your life let them just know youre all beautiful ♥

A smooth transition, across the emotional spectrum/continuum of a young woman who suddenly realizes she can move on, after all. THE MAGIC OF FILM EDITING WHEN DONE RIGHT.

One of the most beautiful, as in aesthetically pleasing, songs I've ever personally had the good fortune of hearing...How utterly...charming.

The editing and camera direction in this is superb, it was confusing at first bc I couldn't tell whose perspective this was supposed to be from because she kept looking in front, to the side/behind herself. It felt looking the camera was someone that was actually occupying the space she was in with her. But when it finally clicked that she was just waiting expectedly for someone that was long gone it made me have such a punch in the gut reaction, and now when I look back at her dazed and longing expression I just get experience that same emotion all over again. Just amazing song all around.

I love it when the producer brings the bass forward

This is one of the best songs of the last ten years. I should know, I write songs!

Words can’t explain how much I love this song. It makes me feel like I’m in a movie.

Steph sent me here

I sometimes look at my fiancé while he’s sleeping or something and the horrible thought of us just maybe falling out love one day enters my mind and this song just fits that feeling too well.

I danced this song after my divorce, trying to love yourself is hard but finding yourself after a breakup is harder. Especially married to the “one”. But You are THE ONE.

I can tell I'm super busy at work because this is on my playlist every day and I just noticed for the first time that ole girl is alone the whole time in this video🤷🏾‍♂️🤪🤪

My favorite radio station just played this song today April 6, 2023… Thank you Mark ❤❤❤

What a fucking poet. They always give us a great song, but above all they're always painting a picture rather than spewing a new line. "I remember you closing the shutters and laying down by my side And the light that was just slipping through was painting your body in stripes I remember the trees comin down like an arch angel choir And the ocean was all we could see and I knew that I wanted you" ...I mean just beautiful.

Kate Mara plays this role so well. This is a perfect 4 minute deep dive into her character in "Pose" after she finds out her husband has been cheating on her. The depth in the emotion that's seen and felt here are everything and would perfectly compliment that character if juxtaPOSED.

This song has such a nostalgic feel to it.

Wait, when am I gonna lose you? How will I let you slip through? Careless or unkind? Trace the curving on the coastline Santa Lucia cliffside Stay here for the night I remember you said Everything has its place Now we'll lie in our bed Wondering how to explain You When am I gonna lose You When am I gonna lose You When am I gonna lose You When am I gonna lose Take another one if you need it Do you already feel it? I felt it from the start A gray silhouette of you dancing A shadow play that we're cast in On the cabin walls You were floating to me In a slow motion fade I could finally see That you believed in fate You When am I gonna lose You When am I gonna lose You When am I gonna lose I remember you closing the shutters And laying down by my side And the light that was still slipping through It was painting your body in stripes I remember the trees summoned down Like an archangel choir And the ocean was all we could see And I knew I wanted you When am I gonna lose You When am I gonna lose You When am I gonna lose

This song is pure summer vibes. C'mon warm weather! I wanna go on a drive with this on repeat, windows down.

It’s been a year since I first heard this song and although, I can easily listen to it, I love watching the music video more to hear it. Kate Mara does an excellent job with capturing the existential dread one feels when they know their relationship is slipping and waiting for the other shoe to drop; the phone call, a text or the conversation that will lead to the eventual break up. I also love how I can see that her performance can be interpreted as life in the post break up. Feeling lost and adjusting to a life without that person that was once such a central part of their life.

I cannot overstate the feeling that my soul gets when my ears and brain process the complexity of the intro to this song.

That's why I am single 🤣, the song is great and I love the atmosphere of the video that matches with the anxiety of an asimetrical relationship and the solitude of a break up, but is so true, how many times we asked ourselves that question. I love the smile of the girl at the end. Bravo. Thanks, Local Natives.

This song, and the video with it, they make me feel like this awful extended grief I'm in is explicable. Its a gift to see that these feelings have been had before.

3:18 - 3:45 gotta be the most perfect verse I've ever heard

Hands down the best song of 2019.

I sing this song to my belly when drunk

Didn't consider myself sentimental but this song hits right down to the soul

I was hoping for Local Natives to be back in the LiS universe, finally! One of the best bands!

This is my first song I’ve heard by local natives and I’ve been so obsessed with their music since then 😭

That bass comes forward at the perfect time; every time.

I broke up with my longtime GF. Things were getting toxic and I was hurting. I hope I made the right decision. It hasn't been long, so right now all I want to do is call her and speak to her. The thought of her with someone else kills me, but I hope that my decision was for the best. This song just hits you right in the feels.

My boyfriend and I have had a very rocky relationship. He's perfect to me, and I'm so full of faults and pain. I've grown so attached to him it's toxic, I can't go more than just a few days without seeing him, and so many little things trigger me. He's my only form of peace. He broke up with me July 29 this year. He said he needed a break, but I broke. Part of me was hurt because how can you fix a relationship by leaving it? I screamed and cried and begged for him. I had a full mental breakdown to this song, it was just so raw. Him and I got back together a few weeks later, but for those few weeks, I was empty and alone, this song was the anthem for me because I wasn't sure if I was going to get him back. He doesn't know how bad he truly broke me nor does he realize how dependent I am on him. This song is so painful for me but so Beautiful. I shed tears filled with so many emotions everytime I hear it

Listening to this song as I finish my wedding vows for Saturday (6.12.21)...because I felt like I was always going to lose him, but this song reminds me of how lucky I am and that I'm not going to lose him. That I know that I want him and he wants me, forever This anxiety and fear is something I don't have anymore, and I'm sog rateful. Such a damn beautiful song.

This SONG is Amazing!!! Also Kate Mara is beautiful, I loved all her outfits :)

I love you, my Brother...Love is no longer our center of direction...Yet we love having loved, not loving but Loving the POWER within the heart of Love...You are the Sun and I am the moon. All I can do is reflect your Glory...Your Glory, the New Power, the Center of Universes...

I know I'm late to finding this song but it's just so good. The chorus has been stuck in my head all day.

Man this song hurt as hell. I had to broke with me bf days ago and I just found this song that describes exactly what i'm feeling, that Ghost Always by me side and the empty got keep asking myself when am I gonna lose him, when will he be out of my soul and everything I do

I love Local Natives so much!!! One of the greatest bands of today by far, love these guys beautiful spirits and energy!!! Way too underrated!!! Much love and blessings from Canada!!

Quite a band to be able to impress me and my 65 year old mother

Can't we just fast forward to September 10 huh

"Artist on the Rise." Like, we been knew, RU-vid. They've been around for a while. Thanks for giving them a spotlight though

so happy they played this as their closing song when they were in town yesterday on tour...

I used to hear this song after coming home late at night from wherever. I never paid attention to the lyrics, but liked the arrangement and recording. I wonder about the directorial choices of videos, but a supermarket seems an appropriate setting somehow.

Beautiful song and amazing voices...my favorite for months 💖💕 I feel like her in this quarantine.

Loving the Buckingham/Fleetwood Mac groove.

Can you believe I heard this on the radio ? 99.99999% of the time radio stations play absolute shit but this , this is a banger

Fantastic lost love with a haunting chorus the lead singer is amazing

I freaking can't get enough of LN!!! AAAARRRGGGGHHH!!!!

Yeah... that was painfully pretty accurate.

One of the most addicting and lyrically perfect "bridges" of all time.

Currently addicted to this masterpiece. Got hooked on the audio and the vibes but I went in deep cuz of the lines. Poetic and subtle, yet so refined. Glad I found this gem.

Local Natives and Wallows both dropped absolute bangers within 24 hours of my 20th birthday. This is about to be the coolest year ever.

this song deserves more attention, it's so good!

Thank you Life Is Strange! For introducing us to great music, this song is a gem!

Every time I hear this song I feel a spark of life.

Lots of bands go their entire careers without a song this perfect - congrats boys

This song may be my favourite from the album. Just has pure Local Natives spirit in it. Short: Perfection.

No doubt about it, Southern California sound with a Fleetwood Mac/Eagles type of music and sound, I'm 60 years old and I really like this band. I was at Cape Hatteras a few days ago and heard this band on a local radio station and I thing they have a magical type of sound and songs.

Currently drunk and this song is hitting me right in the feels

1:01 The moment when you have to force yourself to inhale because the pain and nausea in your chest, throat, and stomach is too much to bear, all while thinking about that person and hoping once you exhale the moment/feeling will disappear.

This is such a beautiful, beautiful, BEAUTIFUL song.

If the question is how to resolve a feeling you long to be neutralized you answer, simply… The Local Natives. It sounds good so you pay attention, then it feels good so you stay. No matter the subject matter the lyrics have a way of reaching a depth only you can personally resonate with. No words to convey a collective harmonizing with their strengths to resolve a consciousness Unable to describe their own weakness. It’s beautiful and it’s art it’s everything !!!!

[Verse 1] Wait, when am I gonna lose you? How will I let you slip through? Careless or unkind? Trace the curving on the coastline The Santa Lucia cliffside We'll stay here for the night [Pre-Chorus 1] I remember you said Everything has its place Now I lie in our bed Wondering how to explain [Chorus] You When am I gonna lose you? When am I gonna lose you? When am I gonna lose you? When am I gonna lose [Verse 2] Take another one if you need it Or do you already feel it? I felt it from the start A gray silhouette of you dancing A shadow play that we're cast in On the cabin walls [Pre-Chorus 2] You were floating to me In a slow motion fade Could I finally see Between belief and faith? [Chorus] You When am I gonna lose you? When am I gonna lose you? When am I gonna lose you, you? When am I gonna lose [Bridge] I remember you closing the shutters And laying down by my side And the light that was still slipping through It was painting your body in stripes I remember the trees summoned down Like an archangel choir And the ocean was all we could see And I knew that I wanted you I remember you closing the shutters And laying down by my side And the light that was still slipping through It was painting your body in stripes I remember the trees summoned down Like an archangel choir And the ocean was all we could see And I knew that I wanted you [Chorus] When am I gonna lose When am I gonna lose you When am I gonna lose you, you When am I gonna lose
