"Lifted Up (1985)" is a song by American indietronica band Passion Pit from their third studio album, Kindred (2015).
The song was written and produced by the band's frontman Michael Angelakos as well as Benjamin Levin (known as Benny Blanco) with Chris Zane and Alex Aldi providing co-production.
Michael Angelakos wrote the song in gratitude for his wife for coming to him "at a point in my life where I really was pretty lost.
For each verse, the crowd gets less and less chaotic; starting with white strobing lights as the partiers toss Angelakos around and make him feel claustrophobic.
During the second verse, calmer, fazing blue lights fill the party with Angelakos looking more comfortable, but still slightly awkward around the partiers.
