We're Fated to Pretend

The first time I heard Time to Pretend by MGMT was during the opening credits of the movie 21 (a great film, by the way). There's no other word for it, this song is unique. The first time I heard it, I admit the grating background music did give me a headache. But after some time, the song (and the band) grew on me. When I looked for the YouTube clip to link my post too, I noticed one user commented that this song was "amazing! ...poignancy and a kickass beat" Those simple words, in my opinion, summarize MGMT's biggest hit better than I could've said it.

"I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone."
--Time to Pretend

This song is dedicated to Priyanka Sharma, who is my movie buddy for life and was with me first time I heard this song
