Local Natives - World News Lyrics






The lane next over is always faster
And you wait so long until you're so bothered
But right after you complete your merge
The lane you started in gets going
And while you wait for your luck to change
All you can think of is where you started

You don't like anything on local radio
So you fumble around 'til you land on NPR
And listen to world news
Well, a bomb went off in the parking lot
Of a newly opened sunni marketplace
And a cloud covers your car at just the right time
For you to see the dark on your face in the mirror

Your phone goes off with a picture of your mother
It's five to six, and she can't find your brother
And while normally you'd yell and scream
Instructing her to go and find him on her own
But calmly you're exiting
And telling her that you are headed on your way home
She does not know what to say
Just glad you're on your way
You turn off your phone in a different tone
As you think
The bad feeling so bad makes the good so good

  1. W.... -....

    I remember as a little kid my parents finding this group and we would listen to gorilla manor on repeat over and over again while driving down the highway just jamming out to it, even now I’ll put their music on repeat and reminisce. Their music has always been a big part in my life and helped me through some depressing times, their music is so beautiful and it really hits home, I can’t wait for them to blow up!

    Who's still coming back to this

  13. O.... L....

    The little boy is my 17 year old cousin. His name is Aaron and I won't say his last name just for personal questions. His nationality is Vietnamese and he did this when he was about nine. He quit acting just because of waking up too early in the morning. He is now in high school. Made it into ASAP and is one of my favorite cousins.

    Ебать музло годное ыыыыы

  18. j.... c....

    Is this a native group? just asking

  19. r.... 1....

    Just putting this out there the really short hair lady is really attractive, other then that amazing music to note thank you

  20. S.... W....

    Damn but that flying dog tho!!!! I want one

  21. R.... R....

    It kinda reminds me of GAP. Like a commercial. Anyways can anyone tell me what they're eating?

  22. J.... M....

    Ohhh boy, just found this band and I might just be highly obsessed now.

    J.... M....

    Jenna Mccormick
    I'm aware that I'm late, but I totally agree

    J.... M....

    cubism dream. that is all.

  23. D.... F....

    copyright Fleet Foxes.

    D.... F....

    Daniel Fischer yes, reminds me very much of fleet foxes as well

  24. C.... B....

    Found this song years back on tv show and fell in love with this band. I always come back to where it started

  25. s.... ....

    "We high as fuuuuck playing with fruit punch."

  26. H.... M....

    Anyone who doesn't understand why they are inhaling "oxygen" is retarded. They are huffing of nitrous oxcide. No one gets that happy about just running on a beach. The band members are all high as fuck in this

  27. d.... m....

    I like this video, it seems like it was a plane crash. The pilots have their uniforms and also have red bands, the red bands on their arms are used in post emergency situations to distinguish people's health situation. Green bands means their okay, yellow is injured but able to walk, red is critical. They even have the heart EKG symbol on the bands that shows heart beat. The other people could be the passengers, the oxygen that they are passing around represents the oxygen masks that drops in the airplane when loss of pressure is experienced. If I had to guess I'd say that everyone on the beach is actually dead. Clever music video I like it a lot. Message of the video and song? Enjoy life, even when you face death.

    d.... m....

    The helicopter in the beginning is more than likely a search and rescue helicopter, forgot to mention that xd

    d.... m....

    Ohh last thing its called world news because plane crashes make world news headlines...duh

    d.... m....

    Thank you for sharing all of this insight!

  28. T.... A....

    I don't know if they used laughing gas, but i love the joy that people transmit :D I LOVE THIS SONG !

  29. A.... L....

    I hear a bit of The Beach Boys in the harmonies

    A.... L....

    Aron Lewis that was EXACTLY my same thought absolutely to a t.

  30. A.... A....

    Cccool

  31. p.... !....

    by far one of my favorite Local Natives songs. (●´ω`●)

  32. s.... ....

    happiness! :)

  33. J.... H....

    Wonder what the symbol on the flags and on there arms means, I'm Curious?

  34. s.... ....

    I remember hearing this a few years ago at a cute coffee shop in Amsterdam & asking the barista who it was - aw, nostalgia

  35. A.... L....

    This video is so cute

  36. E.... P....

    how has it taken me this long to find out about this band, I LOVE IT IM OBSESSED I NEED A T SHIRT OR SOMETHING ITS ABOUT TO GET CRAZY

  37. M.... M....

    these lyrics. so simple and so great. songwriting doesn't have to be difficult, it just needs to speak to the people who are listening.

    M.... M....

    +Marshall McGinnis BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW

  38. _.... ....

    the one thing i don't get is why is one guy inhaling oxygen or whatever that is. I mean it's not like they he on mt everest and there is barely any air and also he is on a completely unpolluted beach so the air should be pretty fresh and clean... captain? medical problems he has or something?

    _.... ....

    @MrDawex100 I'm not certain, but I'm betting thats nitrous oxide.

    _.... ....

    your hella stupid.

    _.... ....

    @Hayden Mick
    thank you, you're hella ignorant. what is wrong if I don't get it? I'm not fully knowledgable about everything. and if this is something obvious and simple you still can't blame me because I'm "not familiar with your culture where people inhale shit on a beach".

    _.... ....

    You just put a sentence in quotations but no one said the sentence. Im standing by my first comment your hella stupid

    _.... ....

    @Hayden Mick
    I didn't quote that, I put it in quotes because it's hella stupid, like you.

  39. L.... ....

    Ahh, "the bad feeling so bad makes the good so good". I think I just got it.

  40. D.... B....

    hopefully gonna get to go to one of your guys concerts (:

  41. C.... B....

    every single video of theirs i watch i find myself saying, WTF IS THIS ABOUT?!

  42. t.... ....

    Wonder what the local natives thought of this video.

    t.... ....

    Probably world news

  43. D.... H....

    NICE!!!!!

  44. J.... E....

    Have a soft spot for this one, very nice.

  45. D.... ....

    Wait is that saul goodman?

    D.... ....

    No. It's clearly Steven Seagal

  46. S.... B....

    This reminds me so much of a Wes Anderson film...

    S.... B....

    Spencer Benjamin Smith wrong aspect ratio though

    S.... B....

    мировойлидер

  47. t.... ....

    The last line is the best.

  48. H.... M....

    Love this song ❤

  49. T.... ....

    the video starts out the same as the video of the cave.

  50. M.... S....

    They're eating their food so delicately ;)

  51. C.... D....

    Fantastic track - Soooo catchy!

  52. c.... ....

    Not the song, the music video

  53. B.... ....

    Both "The Cave", and "World News" are spectacular songs. Just because the videos are slightly similar means nothing. And while both songs are great, they're not similar at all. They have wildly different instrumentation, "The Cave" doesn't even feature percussion, while in this song the drums are one the key aspects. Also, the theme, and feeling of the songs are unique. Enjoy each one for what it is: amazing songs by amazing bands.

  54. D.... D....

    ❤❤❤❤

  55. D.... ....

    local natives seem to be fans of slo-mo.

  56. R.... ....

    i strongly doubt that they got anything from it, besides i love both bands quite a long time and if i hadnt read these comments here i would have never compared these songs :D theyre not that similar to me, The Cave has another dynamic imo, somewhat faster and impulsive, while this is more melodic

  57. T.... ....

    And "The Cave"'s music video was posted before the album came out so actually this song is later. I like this song better than the cave, but I'm just speaking the truth.

  58. T.... ....

    They albums came out the exact same day actually

  59. M.... ....

    Love this song

  60. T.... ....

    one time I was listening to this song on my phone and sonething like malfunctioned and it was all sped up and the voices were all high pitched. And It was spectacular.

  61. B.... G....

    Please come to Victoria, BC.. I'd pay any amount of money to see you live.

  62. J.... V....

    i think this just became on of my favourites!! heart melting!!

  63. B.... ....

    No, It doesn't...

  64. A.... ....

    That is an oxygen tank... medical grade Nitrous Oxide tanks are a dark navy color. The more you know!

  65. d.... ....

    I saw them live at Sasquatch, and I think they were just high on life.

  66. h.... ....

    their set at sunset during coachella weekend one... wow

  67. R.... H....

    can anyone say what drug they were doing?

  68. M.... L....

    @3:30 "I wipe my hair back and forth"

  69. P.... ....

    Anyone know the significance of Taylor's key around his neck is? He was wearing it last night at the show in Columbus too. These guys are amazing live

  70. R.... B....

    This video is hedonistic sickness, why has the infant boy got bruised eye..... !

  71. T.... ....

    actually most music is really good, its just a small portion of the music out there that is the crap we hear on the radio

  72. a.... ....

    Local Natives > Mumford & Sons.

  73. B.... R....

    I love how everybody chooses to be annoyed by youtube comments. So what if someone is comparing a band you like to a band you don't like as much? Why be angry when you can just be happy? It would be a huge relief of stress if people chose happiness or even indifference over anger.

  74. f.... ....

    The fuck

  75. L.... M....

    I like to spread cream on my nipples with a butter knife and tell people Im lactating.

  76. j.... ....

    O O O O O O O OoOOO oOOOoo

  77. L.... ....

    arguing about arguing... wow.

  78. M.... W....

    Mumford & Sons are constantly talking about how they are just as surprised as anyone by their popularity. Or at least Marcus is. They're just a group of guys who made music, and people liked it. Why do we blame them for that? It's not something they should be attacked for. M&S's popularity doesn't automatically make Local Natives a better band just because they're more obscure. Being a hipster doesn't require being a stuffy prude about music. Liking multiple things feels much better, trust me :)

  79. N.... ....

    I must say the band members have not aged well. Not well at all.

  80. J.... W....

    fuck i'm so tired that every where i go i have to see this kind of shit!!! enjoy music stop criticizing shit M&S or Local natives they are simply good music to enjoy... and learn to appreciate band like this and don't say M&s is overrated they make good music very talented ppl same thing with the local natives..

  81. T.... L....

    This song is actually very sad. :(

  82. a.... ....

    mumford and sons are a ridiculous, bloated, arena rock abomination.

  83. L.... A....

    Is it not possible to like both Local Natives and M&S ?

  84. P.... ....

    Mumford and Sons are overrated. This band is much better than them.

  85. D.... ....

    This song is better than "the cave"

  86. T.... ....

    fucking mumford and dipshits sound like this , get over it....this doesnt sound like them , they sound like this , suck it bitches.the biggest difference is , this is great , mumford is ....blah.

  87. L.... C....

    Well, this song did also come out before "The Cave" so...

  88. L.... T....

    those swimsuiiitttss <3

  89. T.... ....

    I love your username because my name is Micah, and some people jokingly call me "Micah the Great" (to distinguish between me and another Micah) and to write my signature I use the number 777 (Which numerically symbolizes Yahweh) to make an M. Idk it just kinda was neat to see that haha

  90. E.... M....

    1:48 Steven Seagal?

  91. J.... C....

    This makes me wet.

  92. S.... C....

    it really doesn't sound like "the cave", they both have very different sounds

  93. O.... f....

    i was gonna say this video was similar to the mumford and sons song but apparantly some people would get mad at me if i did so heres me not saying that it resembles the mumford and sons video @MicahtheGreat777

  94. d.... ....

    i love this song but i hate the video for some reason. Atleast it didn't taint the song for me cuz i hate when that happens.

  95. k.... ....

    Oh, let me guess, you're one of those high-and-mighty hipsters... I love One Direction for their personalities. They don't apologize for bring true to themselves.
