"Lifted Up (1985)" was the first single from Kindred, the third album from American indietronica band Passion Pit, in 2015. Michael Angelakos wrote it for his wife, born in 1985, to thank her for finding him when, by his own account, he was pretty lost. He wrote and produced it with Benny Blanco; Chris Zane and Alex Aldi co-produced and mixed, and Zane and Chris Hartz are both credited on drums.
The video stages it as a party that keeps settling down: white strobes and a crowd tossing a claustrophobic Angelakos around, then calmer blue light, then an orange glow where everyone stands still except him, dancing in something close to euphoria. The song later turned up on the soundtrack of Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 2016.
