When I was young and stupid
My love left to be a rock and roll star
He told me, "Please don't worry"
Wise little smile that spoke so safely
He booked a one-way ticket
Out West, that's where they make it
Six kids stuck in a bedsit
To sun swept poolside riches
He met a girl who wore Versace
Pink feather coats and jumbo jewellery
Gonna be a hoop phenomenon
He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwan
He's got a gold Camaro
He said over the payphone
I try to keep my cool but
My life turns in slow motion
Bye-bye, baby blue
I wish you could see the wicked truth
Caught up in a rush, it's killing you
Screaming at the sun you blow into
Curled up in a grip when we were us
Fingers in a fist like you might run
I settle for a ghost I never knew
Super paradise I held on to
But I settle for a ghost
Where I was from in NOLA
No one left to be a rock and roll star
He'd stay and treat his lady
Give everything to his new baby
I miss him, don't you blame me
That boy went stone cold crazy
Caught up in camera lust, he's
Chasing that pappy pipe dreams
I know you don't but I
I know you don't, but I still try
My thunder shook him down
My thunder came and shook him down
That girl is gone but I
That girl is gone, but I still try
I think it's over now
The bullet hit but maybe not
I feel so fucking numb
It hits my head and I feel numb
My body's looking wrong
My body's looking wrong
My body's looking wrong
Bye-bye, baby blue
I wish you could see the wicked truth
Caught up in a rush, it's killing you
Screaming at the sun you blow into
Curled up in a grip when we were us
Fingers in a fist like you might run
I settle for a ghost I never knew
Super paradise I held on to
But I settle for a ghost
My love left to be a rock and roll star
He told me, "Please don't worry"
Wise little smile that spoke so safely

Wtf? Who let the dogs in the studio again?
Ah, a fresh track with no votes showing in the RP app! Not bad so far. It's great that RP is discovering this music from nearly a decade ago (2016). Let's hear some more variety from this group.
Note: the lyrics are missing.

This is such a gem of a song, Glass Animals always deliver. It really takes me back to those late-night sessions playing Basketball Legends with friends, just chilling and enjoying the vibe. The dreamy atmosphere of "The Other Side of Paradise" is perfect for unwinding.
