Lyrics:
Everything carries weight
Everything is the same within us all together
Everything carries weight
Everything is the same and we are all together (ooh)
I can't keep my head up
I'd like to stay by my friend stay by my friend
But I can't keep my head up
I can't keep seem to keep my head (oh do do do do)
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over (na na na na)
But you're still there treading water (do do do do)
But you're still there treading water
Can't keep my head
I hate to seem so shallow
I'd like to get deeper in, swim deeper in
But I can't find the water
I can't seem to find my way (oh do do do do)
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over (na na na na)
But you're still there treading water (do do do do)
But you're still there (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
I can't keep my head up I can't keep my head up I can't keep up
But you're still there treading water (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still there treading water
You can drift along you've got the time
The rest of us will live and die like plastic soldiers
Only growing older

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”.
