As much as I love the studio versions of their songs,there;s just another level these guys hit once they have been on tour for a while..If you can see them live,you will not be dissapointed
They are just the best band I have ever heard. It's like when I was 16 years old and my bedroom wall was papered with posters of my favourite groups of the 70s. Now all these years later I find myself so invested in the music of this band that I really couldn't contemplate a day without it. I saw them three times in 2023 and am expectantly waiting for 2024 European dates to appear on the website.
same here. I've been listening them since 2014 and till today I'm not tired of them at all. I saw them twice and I can say that I cried both concert. Gosh!, this is the perfect band, for me, at least.
goddamn i love this band....when the female piano player has this look of pure bliss on her face and she looks at the drummer and he cracks the same look as if to say, 'we're in heaven.'....the singers declaratory way of singing reminds me of sean kelley of the samples....tops on my list....along with nathaniel rateliff and the night sweats and tedeski/trucks....maybe i need to spend some time in west philadelphia....
Hard to believe it’s been six and a half years since this song came into the world. I still remember listening to it for the first time with my brother, as we cut through the desert expanse of New Mexico’s I-10 corridor, headed west toward Los Angeles. It’s been a lullaby on so many sleepless nights, a deep comfort in the early morning hours. A lot has happened since then, but I’m still brought to tears from time to time by the lines “I’m in love, I’m in pain”. This song is a cry of the heart. Easily one of the best ever written. To Adam and every other band member, thank you for creating such a masterpiece.
Total agreement on both points - never thought the band could get better but she’s awesome and I love her energy and her vocals are 🔥🔥🔥 can’t wait to see them live again!!!!!!!
This is the best live mix of this song by far. Sounds full and does the song justice, ACL personnel did a great job not like Late night show mix engineers who always ruin TWOD live mixes.
Impressive musicianship - the self-control and disciplin!! Wow, they got HUGE...remember when I saw them just after they released Slave Ambient at a tiny venue here in Copenhagen (Loppen) - standing there drunk just next to them and the stage is on almost same level as the audience...thinking "wow, these guys deserve to become HUGE". And so they did!!! Justice did prevail :)
This song always makes me think of a friend sadly gone too soon, but with a smile. This band are just absolutely incredible and they deserve superstardom but do we really want to share them? I think not!
Can't wait for their return to the States. I love Eliza too! She adds just the right amount of talent and intrigue to keep this band stellar well into the future. I like to think the boys go to no end to cherish and protect her on the road.
Great song well captured live, brilliant engineering and as always tasteful and appropriate drumming by the master. As close to live excellence as you will get. Thanks Mustard !
MUSTARD, I must say that you have captured this band so perfectly,I almost consider you a part of the band!! Between Lowlands and now ACL,all I can say is...PLEASE KEEP IT UP..
Goin' the way I always do Callin' out your name Tryin' not to hate myself For gettin' in the middle And shining every light upon it Still I miss the way you'd hold me close In a cold wind I caught you in our room staring at the light I'd been up all night Is this life and we're just living it? Still I wanna celebrate our love I've been rollin' like a sixteen I can die on the floor I've been shackled and delivered There's a girl out there with silence in her eyes Her truth is in the dark And I see you comin' in view Yeah, I need you I'm comin' in two In view Ain't no wind that I could feel in a rain, in a rain, in a fleetin' rain Turn around and rip my heart Then look at it and say how you broke away Ain't no way to elevate to another line With nowhere to go Ain't no chains to hold you in To hold you to To losing you I was hiding from an enemy When something inside me died It's hard to see real clear these days With darkness on my mind As I stare into the ocean floor And I wonder where I once was Was I fallin' through the air tonight Then crumble into your arms Is this love? Are you sure? Is it something you can control? I'm retired I'm in chains I'm in love I'm in pain All these changes everywhere Just go ahead and take my hand Hold me close, now let me go Try and understand I believe in all the power In doing what we can do We can try and learn to make it through Then come out the other side I don't see you at all comin' in view How do we decide what we can do? I can't read your mind Just gimme the truth
In a promo video there is a second we can see Drugs playlist por this ACL show. Did they play Old Skin, Ocean Between the Waves, Living Proof and Holding On? They were on the printed selist
My friends have been to ACL tapings, and they say there are not only extra songs, but songs redone several times for best versions etc. But a lot of that stuff never comes to the masses. They do offer " harmonias dream" as a web exclusive, and it's the best version of that song EVER
@@dawnpatrol700 Thanks for sharing! I agree completely with you: this version of "Harmonia's" is the best so far. I also like how they to put new arrangements on them songs, like "Pain", that has some new details in the second guitar solo and in the intro. I love Adam's despair when singing the last minutes of Harmonia's (from minute 7 onwards), it reminds me the darker side of Bruce Springsteen, a kind of Darkness on the Edge of Town feeling

Those drums rolls in this is something I can't describe with words.
My favorite recording of my favorite song. This is as good as music gets as far as I'm concerned.
As much as I love the studio versions of their songs,there;s just another level these guys hit once they have been on tour for a while..If you can see them live,you will not be dissapointed
Greatest band ever!!! All day everyday
no doubt about that

welcome to the club,brother! saw them twice front row last year..EPIC BAND!!!
Im with you Jay!
same here. I've been listening them since 2014 and till today I'm not tired of them at all. I saw them twice and I can say that I cried both concert. Gosh!, this is the perfect band, for me, at least.
The War on Drugs just get better and better.
Eliza's backing vocals are the cherry on this particularly delicious cake
give me some seconds on that cake!!
goddamn i love this band....when the female piano player has this look of pure bliss on her face and she looks at the drummer and he cracks the same look as if to say, 'we're in heaven.'....the singers declaratory way of singing reminds me of sean kelley of the samples....tops on my list....along with nathaniel rateliff and the night sweats and tedeski/trucks....maybe i need to spend some time in west philadelphia....
best live band on the planet right now.
no doubt
What a song! What a performance! I'm seeing them live on July 19th!

bringing Eliza on board really pays off! Chains is on top of my wishlist for my next TWOD gig
her vocals not only blend so well with the overall sound, she adds this layer of visible joy that's infectious
Total agreement on both points - never thought the band could get better but she’s awesome and I love her energy and her vocals are 🔥🔥🔥 can’t wait to see them live again!!!!!!!
Agreed! Third gig this summer I hope they play it!!
Fingers crossed for all of us, seeing them next week and seen they’ve played it a lot recently
When I saw them at a festival in 2018 this song was a highlight. Best band in the world
Eliza Hardy Jones has found her forever home with WOD. Great song.
You have good bands...You have brilliant bands...Then you have W.O.D....Bringing chills everytime 🎹🎸🙏👏
I could blow my WOD to W O D 🎉😂❤
This is THE quintessential version of this song without a doubt
❤Tha happiest heavenly state of me is listening to TWOD ❤🙏🎶🔆🍀👍🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆
the best! Well, it's hard do chose their songs because they are all good.
Best live band in the world.
And I'm seeing them in concert twice this year :-)
This is the best version of this song anywhere to be found, its just absolutely stunning
What a live version. So powerful 💕
This is the best live mix of this song by far. Sounds full and does the song justice, ACL personnel did a great job not like Late night show mix engineers who always ruin TWOD live mixes.

I came on board after A Deeper Understanding and have been a disciple ever since,,
Greatest band in TWoD and greatest RUclipsr in MUSTARD 👌 ‘Preesh
Great music
All I can say is DAMN !!!!!!!?
This rendition of an already unbelievable track is unreal.. damn what a sound
One of the most emotionally driven bands. So much depth.
I have all their work and really love the live cd
This song always makes me think of a friend sadly gone too soon, but with a smile. This band are just absolutely incredible and they deserve superstardom but do we really want to share them? I think not!
Same bro. I’m so jealous
Incredible. The War On Drugs. 🏜️☝️😎🥁🎸🎻🎤🎷🎹🎧🎺📻🌊

Eliza is the icing on this truly magnificent cake.
By far the best version of this song imo. Great job to everyone involved!
Simply Exquisite
Now that´s what I call a pedalboard! OMG
Speechless.
A wonderful example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Pure class!!! 👌
Can't wait for their return to the States. I love Eliza too! She adds just the right amount of talent and intrigue to keep this band stellar well into the future. I like to think the boys go to no end to cherish and protect her on the road.

So good, ❤
Thnx very very much!!!
Goooooooool see your live
in Copenhagen Summer 2023🇩🇰
Goin' the way I always do
Callin' out your name
Tryin' not to hate myself
For gettin' in the middle
And shining every light upon it
Still I miss the way you'd hold me close
In a cold wind
I caught you in our room staring at the light
I'd been up all night
Is this life and we're just living it?
Still I wanna celebrate our love
I've been rollin' like a sixteen
I can die on the floor
I've been shackled and delivered
There's a girl out there with silence in her eyes
Her truth is in the dark
And I see you comin' in view
Yeah, I need you
I'm comin' in two
In view
Ain't no wind that I could feel in a rain, in a rain, in a fleetin' rain
Turn around and rip my heart
Then look at it and say how you broke away
Ain't no way to elevate to another line
With nowhere to go
Ain't no chains to hold you in
To hold you to
To losing you
I was hiding from an enemy
When something inside me died
It's hard to see real clear these days
With darkness on my mind
As I stare into the ocean floor
And I wonder where I once was
Was I fallin' through the air tonight
Then crumble into your arms
Is this love?
Are you sure?
Is it something you can control?
I'm retired
I'm in chains
I'm in love
I'm in pain
All these changes everywhere
Just go ahead and take my hand
Hold me close, now let me go
Try and understand
I believe in all the power
In doing what we can do
We can try and learn to make it through
Then come out the other side
I don't see you at all comin' in view
How do we decide what we can do?
I can't read your mind
Just gimme the truth
❤ thanks for the lyrics. I want lyrics for under the pressure...❤
Right on! Thanks for this!
This bands music is simply sonorous.
Immense. Feeds my soul.
@elijahfinch3349 Thank you! I’ll check them out!
Coming to Perth Western Australia December '23. Can't wait.
With Spoon, what a great double bill!
Simplemente magistral, producción sonido todo es perfecto
The war on drugs es la definición de una banda de culto... 🖤
Original. Authentic.
Cannot wait to see you in Poland!
I will there be too
