Let me kick it like its 198612/31/2022 The allusion to aliens in the video I found especially prescient, because that was a real concern in 1966, but also because it’s an “other” that all humans can relate to. The Man - 'Feel It Still' (Official Video) clip with quote Let me kick it like it's 1986, now Yarn is the best search for video clips by quote. TLDR: They want to do more, but don’t want to commit to rebellion because they have families to take care of and lives to tend to. Other things, like family and career, take precedent, so it’s hard to address these things while still meshing with the larger society they need to be a part of to care for their families. I felt that it’s a pretty sincere acknowledgement that a lot of these issues are difficult to fight against because the general population of the US/ developed countries is under the impression that there’s no real problem, and the band is still fighting against these issues despite lack of popular support, because it is still relevant and still matters, although it’s hard to get buy in due to the majority believing everything is “fine” for oppressed classes they don’t belong to. Unlike the guy who felt it was a stab at SJWs, I felt it was more an ode to those still fighting for those issues that seemed to be “fixed” but that are still worth fighting for, since clearly racism and sexism haven’t been “fixed” in the cultural mindset, even if, in some small way, they’ve been addressed in the legal mindset of the US/the world. LET ME KICK IT LIKE ITS 1986 FREEPersonally I found this song to be really creative free form of jazz and electronic smashed into a pop concept structure that intersected a lot of musical and lyrical genres. General Comment recommend reading the artists’ interpretation that someone previously mentioned as it added a lot of insight. I still can’t believe they’re on the radio. I could be way off but I’m the same age as the members of Portugal the man. The “1986” reference reminds me of the first line to “fight for your right” by the beastie boys which is “KICK IT”. we truly know we’re not under attack and we don’t need a wall to feel safe from immigrants. Let the wall fall down by being peaceful or fight a bullshit political war. N then he says it doesn’t bother him either way. and it sounds like he’s giving a nod to Sander’s tip to the middle kids (college debt) and Trumps famous wall. “Flipping” could literally mean flipping burgers. N it also seems like “stop flipping for the enemies” could be the smear campaign the corporations use to not allow minimum wage to go up to 15 dollars. now Might've had your fill, but you feel it still Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now Let me kick it like it's 1986, now Might be. I really like the bridge bc it shows hypocrisy of war. People are now just a rebel for the fun of it. Now, we just complain about the corrupt system we’re apart of. Those were actually something to fight for politically. The chorus is almost making fun of SJWs when he mentions the 1960s which was the Vietnam protests, civil rights for blacks. He puts them on a shelf in case he needs to protect her. his hands used to be for fighting, now they’re purpose is to care for his child. My InterpretationIt sounds like the lyricist is done with fighting in this current political environment especially when he mentions he has a little baby. Your love is an abyss for my heart to eclipse, now Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, yeah (Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now) Might've had your fill, but you feel it still Leave her with a baby sitter, mama, call the grave digger Pubblica immagini fotografiche dal vivo concesse in utilizzo daįotografi dei quali viene riportato il copyright.Think I'll dust 'em off, put 'em back up on the shelf Accetta solo fotografie non esclusive, destinate a utilizzo su testateĮ, in generale, quelle libere da diritti.Sul diritto d'autore, utilizzate ad esclusivo corredo dei propri Usa le immagini per finalità di critica ed esercizio del diritto diĬronaca, in modalità degradata conforme alle prescrizioni della legge.(“for press use”) da case discografiche, agenti di artisti e uffici stampa.
