[Intro]
One two
From a...

[Verse 1]
I'm from a little city with expensive taste
Where the cars don't run till the engine breaks
Wasn't spending pennies on massive things
But invested in mess with this recipe
Couldn't quite see what the future held
And as days went by, it would tell itself
Let it struggle just a little bit more
Let it struggle just a little bit more

[Chorus]
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go

[Verse 2]
Shouldn't try to fix it if it keeps getting better
Just let it go, forget it for ever and ever and ever
Don't ever resent a letter inside a single word written
A little change can pave lanes with the right vision
Couldn't tell what would happen next
But as weeks went by, look what turned to best
Let it struggle just a little bit more
Let it struggle just a little bit more

[Chorus]
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go

[Bridge]
If what they said was all pretend, then it'd be different
If it depended on if anyone was listening
And I was listening
And when they said that what I wanted was a figment
I had to turn the other cheek, but I was listening
Yeah I was listening, listening to all

[Chorus]
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go

[Outro]
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
I wasn't listening
I wasn't listening, listening at all
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
Oh, I wasn't listening
I wasn't listening, listening at all
At all, at all

Hailing from Newbury Park, California, upstart indie band The Neighbourhood finds its influences as diverse as hip-hop (where lead vocalist Jesse Rutherford had his musical beginnings) and the classic black and white aesthetic that often dominates their music videos and outfits. The current members are Jesse, Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels (guitarists), Mikey Margott (bassist), and Brandon Fried (drummer). The Neighbourhood is often abbreviated to “The NBHD.” The band are easily recognisable by their signature upside-down house logo, which is tattooed on every band member.

With the release of the extended plays Thank You, and I’m Sorry…, the band accumulated a wide range of fandom appreciation.

Following the rising success of their hit single “Sweater Weather,” the band released their debut album in 2013 entitled I Love You. to a far wider popularity than that which preceded them. The band have also gained traction over the years by touring with artists like Travis Scott, Danny Brown, Imagine Dragons and Charli XCX.
