They Might Be Giants I Left My Body Comments
  1. W.... O....

    Don't you just hate when you're going about your day, minding your own business, not harming anyone, and then suddenly you just leave your body and forget where you left it?

  2. K.... ....

    Anyone just forget where they left their body?

  3. R.... C....

    I F O R G O T W H E R E I L E F T M Y B O D Y

  4. C.... ....

    This is my new favorite song

  5. B.... ....

    I left my body
    And I went on a journey
    And I forgot where I left my body
    They're going to tow you
    If they think you're abandoned
    You got to act like you're not abandoned
    I left a notebook with all of my good ideas
    Keywords encoded cryptographically
    I'm waiting endlessly
    On the receptionist at the desk
    I'm searching high and low
    But I don't see anyone
    Don't see anyone
    Don't see anyone there
    I left my body
    With the old landlady
    But I don't know if she read the directions
    There must be something
    you can use on the carpet
    Someone might want that electric blanket
    Unfinished Manuscript and tungsten ring
    My plastic hip is going to be worth something
    I took the folding knife and my bat repellent soap
    I left my body
    And right away I knew I'd made a mistake
    I left without my senses
    And I can't see anything
    Can't see anything
    I'm waiting endlessly
    On the receptionist at the desk
    I'm searching high and low
    But I don't see anyone
    Don't see anyone
    Don't see anyone there

  6. F.... P....

    Poor Bramblestar.

    F.... P....

    Fucking leave this masterpiece alone

    F.... P....

    @The Fox-Tabulous Vixie I think its tigerstar.. when I read the new book I instantly thought it was tigerstar

    F.... P....

    Purple peppermint Tigerstar’s spirit is dead

    F.... P....

    @Meegakarla 1512 fucking leave them alone they didnt do anything

    F.... P....

    Bramblestar will rest in peace he is a good leader considering that he lied about hollyleaf murdering ashfur

  7. N.... D....

    YouTube had been playing in my ears for hours, loads of yap yap yappety effin yap. It was all a prelude to a J Linnell, Esq. making everything better with I left my body. A few weeks back I heard John sing it live. He's still got a great set of pipes. Linnell 2020.

  8. a.... ....

    melbourne at 170 russell Super satisfying performance.

  9. N.... D....

    Saw them last night in Brisbane. As amazing as ever.

  10. I.... M....

    Has anyone thought this might be a companion song to "Spiraling Shape"? Like maybe the continued story of the person who chose to see the spiraling shape?

    I.... M....

    Even if it isn't, it's a nice fit.

    I.... M....

    Lmao, isn’t it like the uzumaki one?

  11. A.... R....

    there gonna toe you if they think that you're Brandon....you've got to act like you're not Brandon

    A.... R....

    Why did this make me laugh

  12. J.... R....

    Someone might want that electric blanket 😆

    J.... R....

    Jen Robinson The stuff my inspired, quirky fiction is made of ☺️

  13. B.... N....

    This song helps me run faster, jump higher and slam dunk harder at the gym.

  14. E.... B....

    Will this make an appearance on Dial a Song 2018?

    E.... B....

    It now has!

  15. N.... J....

    so. i guess I'll just give away my video concept as i have no friends or equipment. maybe you do. in slow motion when watch through a cell cam the manically sad reaction of a girl finding their boyfriend has committed suicide. near the end she notices begging for help. the filming person runs off and is hit by a (mink)car.

    N.... J....

    when=we

    N.... J....

    last night i was just daydreaming about what i'd make for a music video for this! it was kinda similar, but more as if it was from the perspective of the boyfriend itself. i think it's cause ive been struggling with depression and this song just hit hard last night.

    N.... J....

    That would be more suitable for the upcoming Mrs. Bluebeard

    N.... J....

    That's really depressing. :-:

  16. F.... M....

    For some reason it reminds me of their "John Henry" period. One of my fave TMBG albums!

  17. e.... ....

    I had the total opposite experience, saw my long dead grandfather and he communicated with me telepathically and had a time machine like light recording device that displayed future events to me and then he communicated that i had to leave and was not ready to die yet.

  18. s.... ....

    jovial power pop death album is stunningly giant

  19. R.... O....

    "RIAA regulations insist that you only use the flex-a-tone once every ten
    albums. It is a restricted instrument, not because it's not versatile,
    because it's not versatile, it's just that it's a really unsuccessful
    instrument."

    Is it time to get the flex-a-tone back out again for I Like Fun?

    R.... O....

    where is it used.

    R.... O....

    I don't think it was used in I Like Fun, I just hoped it was before it was released. Previously, it appears in the Spine's 'Stalk of Wheat', which was their tenth album

    R.... O....

    Oh, ok i saw your comment and thought you were talking about this song, I think i remember it from there though.

  20. A.... ....

    Nice companion piece to the song "My Man" on Mink Car

    A.... ....

    Armakk Interesting take, I was thinking “Lost My Mind” on Nanobots. Or maybe even “Hopeless Bleak Despair” since this narrator seems to have killed themself (albeit not by a “puff of smoke”)

    A.... ....

    Although I also like the general dissociation interpretation elsewhere in the comments too.

    A.... ....

    Cool! I never thought about comparing any of those tracks to this song but now I totally can hear it. :)

  21. s.... ....

    Amazing suicide song

    s.... ....

    Cecil Palmer TMBG songs arent really that deep

    s.... ....

    Adam's Song by Blink182 is literally a suicide note in song form....

    s.... ....

    @sigepvegan I know it's two years later but I can't believe no one backed you up. This song is absolutely about suicide and it should go without saying. Or at least once it is said it shouldn't be disputed lol.

    s.... ....

    @Elias Cotsis thx, there's a little back up. Especially with the pencil rain comment but nothing as direct as yours. Enjoy the music.

    s.... ....

    @sigepvegan You're a trooper lol. Thanks you too.

  22. N.... O....

    This is playing on Dial a Song now.

    N.... O....

    Noah O. What's the number?

    N.... O....

    Same as 2015. 844-387-6962

  23. E.... S....

    I would give a kidney to hear this song live. I'm so sad I missed out on getting a ticket for your upcoming Seattle show. :( Please come back in the future!

    E.... S....

    Elijah Sage portland?

    E.... S....

    It was glorious, and will make you cry because of the beauty.

  24. D.... V....

    This song could be the other side of the story to the song "Lost my Mind."

    D.... V....

    thats exactly what i was thinking

  25. M.... D....

    Will there be a tour for this album

    M.... D....

    Matthew Dietz Yeah, like 60 cities. Luckily for me, one of them is Louisville!!

    M.... D....

    new years ev

    M.... D....

    Yes! I’m going to see them in Florida

  26. v.... ....

    This song is another masterpiece by TMBG that will always get a replay by me and all fans.

    I'm very grateful to be a TMBG fan. I always look forward to their new albums. I'm soo happy I joined the 2018 Tmbg IFC!

    v.... ....

    ...IFC? you must be thinking of some other band...

  27. Z.... R....

    theme for disassociation

  28. S.... M....

    i see this as the companion piece to Lost My Mind and it enhances my appreciation of BOTH songs. bless these johns (and the dans, and marty on the drums, of course)

  29. S.... ....

    don't see anyone, don't see anyone thereeeeeee

  30. E.... D....

    I'll be seeing them in March in Los Angeles - saw them at El Rey in 2016 and Anaheim House of Blues in 2015 - its something i look forward to every year, ive loved them since the 80s. I've never experienced anything close to the emotional and spiritual connection i have to their music - i think they are in a class of their own.

    E.... D....

    Wishing they'd come up to Canada SOMEDAY. 2016 El Rey was my only chance to see them live so far.

  31. J.... ....

    this is what is currently playing on dial a song

  32. W.... S....

    The body may have left, but the great music of TMBG is here to stay! Can't wait till They come to Louisville!!!

  33. K.... P....

    This song is way to underrated. Beautiful...

    K.... P....

    Krogan Popy it's not underrated. It just came out. It hasn't gathered enough attention

  34. M.... E....

    WAY better when it's played separately (rather than the cacophony of the complete album at once)!

    M.... E....

    AirborneSurfer Yeah, cause I'm sure you've somehow heard the album already?

    M.... E....

    I have, actually. All 15 tracks...played at the same time.

    M.... E....

    AirborneSurfer And how? I genuinely want to know

    M.... E....

    Cryptic messages broadcast from Brooklyn to predetermined receivers placed at strategic locations across the planet and beyond.

  35. D.... d....

    You have to act like you're not abandonnnnnned!!

  36. �.... �....

    Would it be at all rude or impertinent if I called this song a return to form for TMBG? That's the phrase that came to mind upon hearing this one

    �.... �....

    I'm having some preemptive fun in anticipation of the release :) I like TMBG

    �.... �....

    Did you not like Nanobots or Glean?

    �.... �....

    This album was actually recorded in the same studio where they recorded Flood

  37. b.... ....

    Take care of yourselves and keep doing whatever you are going to do (unless that includes not taking care of yourself).

  38. M.... V....

    TMBG ROK GOOD

  39. L.... ....

    Instant hooks on the first listen..immediate endorphin release. Just like magic. :-)

  40. K.... B....

    Yay! New TMBG. It's always a great day when I find a new Linnell or Flansy song in the ether.

  41. A.... R....

    This has that Spine sound of not being over-processed but it has some cool as hell Linnellian structure and lyrics. My god I hope the rest of the album sounds this good and better

  42. O.... B....

    I am dying of anticipation for the new album. Dying so much, in fact, that by the time it finally comes out I think I will be a mummy.

    O.... B....

    Oh, me. The anticipation is worse than the feeling of Christmas coming as a child

  43. b.... w....

    It's got a bit of "I Am Invisible" about it to me, which is no bad thing!

  44. A.... ....

    Am I the only one wondering if the notebook mentioned in this song is the same one mentioned in "Why Must I Be Sad”?

  45. M.... C....

    Is this "Lost My Mind" from my mind's perspective?

  46. C.... Y....

    Hellz yeah!

  47. J.... L....

    Someone in the club tonight has stolen my ideas.

  48. M.... I....

    Thumbs up! :)

  49. M.... ....

    Sounds like it belongs on The Spine, next to “Wearing a Raincoat”. Not a bad thing!

  50. A.... M....

    These guys are just amazing!! 31 years after their debut album and they sound so fresh and original. Will always be my favorite band.

  51. S.... P....

    You've still got it, boys. So happy to keep receiving the gift of awesome new music from TMBG after all these years!

  52. G.... ....

    Even better the second time I played it.

  53. P.... ....

    Any day with a new TMBG song is a good one!

  54. V.... F....

    Anyway that's not much at all for TMBG's early stuff fanatics but for all-time-no-matter-how TMBG's lovers, just exactly the crew I've been in for the last 30 years.

  55. V.... F....

    Linnell continues to get me surprised. A musical soup of Beatles, ELO & XTC. Best ever music from the 60's, 70's & 80's. That's Linnell. That's TMBG. Fresh music. Great & emotional song. Long live TMBG!!!

  56. k.... ....

    4 people can't find their body.

    k.... ....

    oh crap make that 5

    k.... ....

    annnnnd it's 6

  57. L.... P....

    Man, this song's so good, now I can't wait to get the new album in a couple months. As if I needed any more reason to be hyped for it.

  58. J.... ....

    Instantly in love and a new album = potential for new tour yipee!

  59. j.... ....

    Do you want ants? Because this...

    j.... ....

    Of the Them Ain't Big Eye variety?

  60. T.... C....

    Such jovial. Many power pop.

    T.... C....

    Todd C That's right!!! Power is Pop & Pop is the power.

    T.... C....

    Is this going to become a meme?

  61. T.... ....

    As soon as i find where i left my body i'll click the like button.. :)

  62. b.... w....

    Wow, brilliant song! Instant love in.

  63. m.... ....

    Love it!

  64. J.... D....

    ELO and the Beatles, merged together. Superb

    J.... D....

    John Doe ELO, The Beatles & XTC. I see Partridge all over the place in this song!!!

    J.... D....

    I TOTALLY agree!

  65. F.... ....

    It reminds me of Dead.

    F.... ....

    Lyrically, yeah, but definitely not musically.

  66. m.... ....

    new wave will never die

  67. M.... ....

    435 upvotes, 0 downs!

  68. S.... B....

  71. C.... J....

    New Classic!

  72. K.... W....

    So glad for new TMBG. Always! It's a need not a want, and I want TMBG for all time.

  73. L.... S....

    Like manna from heaven... New music from They Might Be Giants. I love you guys.

  74. S.... ....

    Best band in the land since the 1980s.

    S.... ....

    Beatles and TMBG

  75. N.... ....

    Fucking love tmbg

  76. t.... ....

    If you've left your body for the astral plane it's all right, you're tethered to your body. This song is great, btw.

    t.... ....

    teknifix WTF does that mean?

    t.... ....

    Dan Abnormal In Dungeons and Dragons there is a high level spell called astral projection whereby you leave your body and travel to the astral plane tethered by a kind of cable.

    It just popped into my head when I was listening.

  77. C.... ....

    I left my body
    And I went on a journey
    And I forgot where
    I left my body
    They're going to tow you
    If they think you're abandoned
    You got to act like you're not abandoned
    I left a notebook with all of my good ideas
    Keywords encoded cryptographically

    I'm waiting endlessly
    On the receptionist at the desk
    I'm searching high and low
    But I don't see anyone
    Don't see anyone
    Don't see anyone there

    I left my body
    With the old landlady
    But I don't know
    If she read the directions
    There must be something you can use on the carpet
    Someone might want that electric blanket

    Unfinished Manuscript and tungsten ring
    My plastic hip is going to be worth something
    I took the folding knife and my bat repellent soap
    I left my body
    And right away
    I knew I'd made a mistake
    I left without my senses
    And I can't see anything
    Can't see anything

    I'm waiting endlessly
    On the receptionist at the desk
    I'm searching high and low
    But I don't see anyone
    Don't see anyone
    Don't see anyone there

  78. D.... ....

    5 seconds in and its already amazing. Will update if I survive.

    D.... ....

    rest in peace

    D.... ....

    Leave your body.

  79. J.... ....

    "Waiting endlessly for the receptionist at the desk." Reminds me of She's an Angel.

  80. D.... S....

    i don't think i can wait three months for the whole album.

    D.... S....

    Dominik Seider I know right? My heart broke when I saw the release date.

  81. Z.... J....

    Cant wait for music video

  82. T.... C....

    Reminds me of "It Just Said Something"

  83. T.... J....

    Oh damn

    T.... J....

    This shit good

    T.... J....

    You must've got one of them

    T.... J....

    COMBUSTIBLE HEAAADS!

  84. S.... P....

    Help. I'm addicted to TMBG.

    S.... P....

    Toon Link's boots Seems like a good problem to have.

    S.... P....

    No help for you

  85. L.... S....

    "Our songs remind you of songs you've never heard." - John Linnell.

    L.... S....

    I know he looks like me
    (My twin) Hates work like me and walks like me
    (My twin) He's even got a twin like me

    L.... S....

    That's why Linnell is so so GREAT.

  86. M.... ....

    Gives me a shape shifter vibe a bit
    Keep it up!

    M.... ....

    That and I also get a bit of I Am Invisible.

    M.... ....

    Yeah! Just another great one from the Johns

  87. J.... D....

    Always a treat to see you upload.

  88. P.... D....

    Great stuff!

  89. D.... A....

    Someone get Fantano here, stat!

  90. D.... ....

    Unplugged, but now the adaptors don't match.

  91. s.... t....

    I like fun. I love They Might Be Giants.

  92. T.... M....

    This sounds like "Everything you know is wrong" by Weird Al, slowed down :)

    T.... M....

    And that song was meant to be a pastiche of They Might Be Giants!

    T.... M....

    Still waiting on TMBG to cover it

  93. l.... ....

    Dig this. Lyrically feels like reverse-lost my mind

  94. s.... b....

    looking forward to learning all these new bass lines.

    s.... b....

    YESSSSSSS

  95. Z.... ....

    Well, this just made my day. Just when you think the Giants can't top themselves, they come out with a new song and blow your mind all over again. Can't wait for the album!

    Z.... ....

    Same here! So cool they are still installing and servicing melody!
