Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden decide it's Time to Pretend
Check out a trippy 3D version of the brilliant Time to Pretend from rising New Yorkers MGMT.
"This is our decision to live fast and die young/We've got the vision now let's have some fun."
Following the use of MGMT's Time To Pretend in the epoch-defining final episode of series two of Skins, Time To Pretend has rocketed from 137 in the charts to number 35 and now looks set to climb the charts again this week.
As one of the best-loved series in recent memory dramatically drew to a close and with so many paths uncertain for Sid, Tony, Michelle and the gang, the final scenes were emotively sound-tracked by Time To Pretend. Lyrically the song blended perfectly with the coming of age narrative and now the song is set to become a seminal anthem to the Skins generation.
And now the band have made a 3D version of the video available - take a look below.
