Mogwai - Take Me Somewhere Nice

vengo a escuchar esta cancion de nuevo 10 años despues :')

sex and the city s4e14

The first time I heard this song I was struggling with myself. 17 years old.
Parents divorced, mom developed cancer, it was very eventful to say the least.
I used to drink a lot and smoke a lot of cigarettes and didn’t have any purpose, tried committing suicide once at 18/19 y/o.
A little while later I met my now future husband, and everything changed for me.

I am now 23 and a proud mommy! She was born into a 3 almost 4 year relationship and we couldn’t be happier.

-Sara

Where’s Casey?

I don't think you're depressed, i think your bowel movement is bad or you have little to no sleep or haven't eaten well.

Played this song for my baby boy a couple weeks before I went into labor, played it for him again on our way to the hospital, and just played it for him for the first time outside the womb. It's such a relaxing song to me and I hope he loves it too.

just now, i was the closest i’ve ever been to doing it. i was going to sneak out with two belts wrapped around my waist under my jacket and use them with a tree in the woods. i’m seventeen. i’m just done with it all. i’m done with not feeling human. i’m done with not feeling emotions.

this is my go-to when i need to cry, which isn’t often. it doesn’t feel right listening to this when i don’t need to cry, as odd as that is. i’m barely crying now. this song and comment section saved me from going along with the decision to end my life. i’m grateful this exists. the video was put on private a few months ago; thank goodness it’s up so we can see all of these beautiful comments.

someone once commented to remind us to have a moment of silence for the people behind some comments who may not be alive anymore. that always killed me.

i’m seventeen, almost eighteen. my parents don’t care about me anymore. my mom left me when i was fifteen. my dad always says i’m the biggest stressor in his life because i do the same wrong things over and over again. i’m trying to teach myself things i should have been taught when i was younger. it’s hard. so hard. i wish i had a parent guiding me, or some figure who cared about me. i’m so jealous of people who have good relationships with at least one of their parents. if something goes wrong, they can turn to them. i can’t. i wish all of my problems happened when i’m a bit older. right now everything is so bad.

i’m just tired of carrying this hollow self with me everywhere. it’s scary. i’m not suicidal to an extreme extent, but the option to do it is always on my side. i really do hope it gets better. i always get told that. i hope it does. i want to grow old and have my own life. i don’t know what to do, though.

now it’s okay. it’s how it always goes. everything gets shoved under the rug. i’m going to try to clean my room. i hope you all stay safe. i love you 💜

Here I am again. I’m really struggling and so exhausted. My mum was diagnosed with cancer this past year and my, already awful, mental health plummeted and I just am struggling so much. My dog is getting older, my dog is my absolute world. I don’t know how I’ll one day function without him. I don’t know if I can. My relationship feels so rocky sometimes, we had an argument and I had a meltdown. I almost hurt myself again. I don’t know what to do. I can’t even work, I haven’t worked in 4 years. My mental health won’t let me. Medication doesn’t help, every day feels like I’m walking in one place.

For so many years i have been coming back to this song and still nothing has changed. Life is still just awful and it probably alwqys will be

BEAUTIFUL SONG ❤

BEAUTIFUL PROG ROCK MOGWAI FROM MÉXICO. CONGRATS ❤️🎹🌈🌠🔥😎👏👏👏👏

Every time I see the scene from shin Chan of Hiroshi embracing his son in tears being reminded of all of his life which. Brought him to the family he had I’m reminded of this song a shame shin Chan due translators biases will never be adapted properly especially that beautiful film. Big Mogwai fan. Big anime fan. I’m sorry to bring in my story in a comment section that’s sad, I just can’t believe people would tarnish art for their bias this song remind me of why I love art it moves you.

Perfect

I have lost a part of myself as the time pass by. These notes hits my memory, found this video after years , and a part of my old self. Sabotaging yourself for "change" is not right without accepting good and bad thing that we all have in us.
Sorry if bad English.

12 years later, and It's still there like a friend to all of us.

depression is an enemy i've been figthing for years, i realized back in 2013 that something was strange, my parents loved each other, i had good grades in school, frinds, a normal life, but for some reason, i cried every nigth before i sleep, always thinking that i have a hole deep inside my heart that cannot be filled, like, it is always missing something, or fear for the future, to not be good enough, i don't know, it's hard to explain. Time passed i found a girlfirend, dropped college and found a job, life was good, we were young, party every weekend and still, that feeling that something was off never fade away, it was around this time that i found this song, never told her about my depression, in brasil, this condition is not taken seriously, but i think she knew something, beacause she caugth me crying in the bathroom or alone in the bedroom some times but i always lied, said it was nothing. Fast foward to now, due to pandemic we lost our jobs and our house, moved to a new city and started a new life, i have a son now, he is 11 months old and a new baby is coming, we have some financial problems, so to compensate, i work at 2 jobs so she can stay home, and now i can say, i'm tired, i work from 6am to 9pm, and when i'm home, it's housework, i don't laugh as much as i used too, kind of stressed all the time and doing bad at one of my works, i realized now, that void was slowly growing, and i was stupid for not taken seriously, now, i just want this to be over, but i can't, my brother took his life when i was 11, my wife is a strong woman, i nkow that she'll find the strengh to move on, but fear for my son's and my parents, sincerly, sometimes, i just wanna be hit by a car and be put in a coma in a hospital, sorry for the bad english, not my native lenguage, and hope the best for everyone who hear this song in dark moments.

My father died a few days ago, a couple of days before Christmas, after two years of battling Parkinson's. I come back here to write after 3 or 4 years, on this link where we leave the mark of our sufferings, before they become awareness. I don't feel sad, not anymore. I just wanted to wish everyone a merry Christmas and the best possible 2024, always in the name of Mogwai and good music. Love, Fab.

It's beautiful seeing you all be so supportive of each other.

I'm sitting hear listening to this because I'm asking myself how sometimes I can feel like I'm an inch away from happiness and other times feel so lonely. I'm so blessed and I have so much, but a lot of my adult life has been figuring out I don't totally belong somewhere. My family is complicated and lonely to live in. I'm only 33, but it's scarily close to 50, I'm gay and I'm single, and I wake up and keep trying.

But sometimes, I just feel lonely.

Damn I’m glad mogwai has gotten 85 million views. Never expected that

life is so awful and pointless, I’m so tired…

I know a nice place for some fire fried chicken.


Suprised no one made a pun or a joke about the name of the song

Even in our hardest moments, people strive to feel a connection with others
You're not alone here
You'll never be

It's interesting how I don't get negative emotions from this song right now. I think it's because I moved on with my feelings and started sorting out things that crippled me mentally.

I first listened to this song ages ago and it was bad mood times. Now I just saw it in my recommendation and simply felt thankful for such a strangely beautiful song to exist.

If I were you, give Nick Drake - River Man a shot. It's similarly beautiful 😊

This artwork is so closely intertwined with this song for me that I was honestly shocked to learn years it wasn't the actual album artwork. Funny how disconnected things come to define each other, isn't it?

If someone take me somewhere nice is would be nice. But i choose ill take me somewhere nice. It has been worked well. And will be. Merry Christmas from south korea ❤

it’s been so tough, I lost the love of my life because i couldn’t change and be better for her. I couldn’t let go of my past demons and my addictions to porn, and now she doesn’t want anything to do with me. It’s even worse knowing that i do love her more than anything, Knowing that if i would of been stronger for myself we would still be together. I can’t blame anyone but me, but seeing how far i pushed her away really kills me every day in the inside. Multiple chances gone to waste because i didn’t know how to ask for help, how to communicate or to be my authentic self. She was so beautiful, so perfect even with the flaws she thought she had. I loved her and i’ll still continue to love her. I can’t stand being alive without her, knowing i messed up, i wish i could of just been better, but i’m just thinking of her every moment, and missing her every second.

I'am nobody.

I used to listen this song during my darker years of my existence, my saddest pieces of poetry were written thanks to this.
Now the situation hasn't changed so much since them, but I still hope it will change one day, because we have only one life left and we need to love each moment.
Life is always a gift.

It's not a place on earth. Instead, it is a place inside ourselves that we seek.

Después de 13 años luchando, la batalla llegará a su fin, he perdido, ya estoy muy cansado para continuar. Quien sea que lea esto, espero que sí pueda lograr encontrar la paz mental que tanto desea.

Still sublime years later

You can really feel all the emotion in this song. Strange thing is that I accidentally found it. I was talking to a coworker and said it would be nice to just say "hey Google... Take me somewhere" and it pulls up this song and only this song... Mind Blown

Its been play more than 8m times for someone. I was one of them. I just hope whoever u r , u deserve happy.

i cannot make them understand. i cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. i cannot even explain it to myself.

To the person who sent me this on my birthday, when I was deeply lost not knowing what I felt, it might seem ridiculous to say but this song comforted me like noone did, its 7 years later and I still listen to it, it perfectly describes my feeling, it seems like it's the only thing that can understand me i cant find you but i hope you read my comment, i think you still listen to this, hope youre doing better and you are somewhere nice

Considering the past it makes sense why I feel the way I feel.
I have been in the dark for a long long time I can't remember when it started going wrong . How I ended up here . Since I can remember I feel alienated back to standard 3/4 or maybe 2 . My earliest memories say i don't belong to this place. I never felt i belong to my surroundings. I was angry no , I was sad . My sadness manifested in anger, self hatred and many more , till I become completely numb or so anxious and depressed it made me feel I'm insane . Sometimes I feel my head is going to brust into pieces. Growing up especially for last 7 years it became intense. Last 2 years i improved but the dark and emptiness followed me . So at the age of 21 ,
I'm going to be 22 soon. It's time to change, accept ,let go of the unlived life, self hatred . Make peace with myself, my true self.all the years of running from myself. I have been constantly running from myself. Till now I was doing that. No more . Not gonna spend my whole life in self pity.
I want to live as myself ! Felt like my name doesn't belong to me, I'm trapped in my own body and mind .but not anymore.
I am the light I was waiting for my entire life. Worried too much about everything, now I want relax . Let life unfold infront of me . I want to be the purest form my soul can ever be . Enough is enough.
My mind and body are not my enemies .They are my tools to experience this life. They are my companions. Things won't change until i change. It will get better , no it won't get better. I will be more stable to handle life. As i grow older life is going to be more uncertain and new things will come to me .So it's not what I wanted my life to look like as a kid or what I want now. It is what it is . I have to accept the life i have given and live it gracefully . Only I can save myself from myself.

Everything is so fucking pointless man. Wtf are we doing?

nice

For years, I only listened to this song when I was terribly depressed and on the verge of suicide. In spite of all, here I am, alive.
I'm glad to have chosen to remain in this world. The fact that now I'm feeling fine and am able to listen to it once again, without wanting to kill myself... it makes me proud.
To anyone struggling out there, remember: you are strong. You will survive this. The dark will fade away. Be proud of yourself. Love yourself. Seek help. You matter.

I've been coming back to this song since I was a teenager, for about 10 years now, I think. Life is still lousy, despite my attempts. I think this will be the last music I will hear

This song and comment section got me through some dark times in high school. I hope anyone who's reading this finds peace if they're struggling. <3
