First heard pain a few years back...drew me right in... Adam you are a true musician and ive discovered all of the hidden treasures from the albums past.....you continue to evolve and it really makes the war on drugs an absolute favorite band for me to listen to time and time again. Thank you.... dennis
The spirit of a WOD tune and it’s draw is how it takes you on a roller coaster of emotions throughout the tune until finally you are left with the one thing we all need, hope
I seriously thought this was a song from the late 1980's that I'd somehow missed. I cannot stop listening to it. Everything about this song is pure poetry. I haven't heard anything this good in years.
Might have thought you'd be a fan. They're a "new-ish" band, but their sound transcends time. Of course, the 80s vibe helps. Glad a legend like you is on board.
War on Drugs are a special band, give you nostalgia for the past, give you hope for the future, give you poetry you can believe in, uplift you when you're down. I've loved this band for 10 years now and finally got to see them live earlier this year and they we're amazing! Having listened for so many years, seeing them live was quite emotional! Love em!
Those are the singers from a band called Lucius. What's awesome about them is they always harmonize and you have no idea which one sounds like which. They are incredible. Check out this song ruclips.net/video/5Izge7UkylQ/видео.html
This is the best song of 2021 by far. Whoever produced it just dropped an incredible masterpiece on us. Love the 80s-inspired touches from this band; they always manage to meld that sound with something else that is uniquely their own. The resulting songs never fail to hit home. Thank god there is still music like this out there!
Fantastic day! First time in months there's no smoke clogging the skies. My son ran outside, "Dad, Dad... Your band just dropped a new song!" And with that the sun was a bit brighter. But nothing radiated more than the 5 plus minutes my little guy and me danced to this incredible song. This is life at its best.
The morning after my mother passed away from cancer, my dad and I had to go to the funeral home to get things squared away for the funeral. As we came into the parking lot, this song came on the radio. We sat and listened to the whole thing before going inside. This song helps me to feel connected with everyone who experiences loss and that feeling of being lost, in whatever form it takes. A truly beautiful song.
I first listened to this song on the radio in November 2021 as I was driving back from the hospital where my father was at the time. My father has since passed away, but this song always reminds of that day. It was a terrible day but this great song made things a bit more bearable. Rest in peace, dear dad, wherever you are.
The female backup singers really help make this song. Rather than just "frill," they add an orchestral punch all their own, and so they end up being worth listening to all in themselves. Excellent complement.
Wow! Wow! Wow! I’m 74 and saw them in amazing 2 hr gig in Sydney. This new song has shades of Fleetwood Mac and Beatles on the rooftop visuals. It’s absolutely gorgeous… and the lyrics just brilliant for our times
Thank you for not giving up on "new" music. My father is 80 and won't listen to, Aything, that is after the 70/80's. Keep it up man, I hope to be doing the same in 40 years.
In all seriousness: I believe this song will age like wine and critics will be talking about it for years to come. It's a new classic, through and through.
Agree 100 percent on that, more than a year later! This song was actually a bellwether for 2021 and 2022, and should remain so for the coming years. It's that profound.
Fighting against cancer for a while now , this song goes so deep... it makes me cry , it makes me strong , it makes sad , it moves my heart... thank you guys !
I am battling cancer and lost a woman I had a 3 1/2 year relationship with because I got cancer. I can relate to the song in so many ways. A masterpiece. I had never heard The War on Drugs music before hearing this song but I’m now a fan for whatever time I have left.
@@wimpeeters1273 THAT'S IT. That's the comparison I've been trying to come up with but couldn't quite put my finger on. Especially Hysteria. THANK YOU. Also my hindbrain keeps trying to tell me that's Kate Bush on backing vocals in the chorus.
I can't believe how far ahead these guys are of the pack when it comes to genuine music and instrumentation. Is there something they know that everyone else doesn't? They have beauty in their music that no one else can capture. One can only hope they inspire a generation so that great music can continue in the future.
I think this is what happens when you go with your feelings and not the mainstream. Adam is all about the ambiance and production it's what makes me love TWOD.
I'm an 80's kid, my whole world revolves around 80's and 90's nostalgia, and i approve that this song is up there with the greatest hits of those times.
I was a child of the 70s born mid 60s but learned life in the 80s the greatest of times and the second I heard this song I was transformed back to that time. Thanks for the memories
By far the best discovery of this dreadful year, real chords, thumping drums, a crisp piano, even a saxo... reminds me of the 80's, all delivered with a bite and hunger for more
This is my second comment, I have converted 3 people at my gym. I'm a middle aged black man, I listen to wu tang, chilli peppers, public enemy. This song is dope.
yeah I love this but for some reason the YT video version audio sounds terrible. The lead guitar and vox are clipping throughout and the bass/low-end keeps phasing in and out of the mix. Head over to spotify or apple music for a superior experience of this great song until they fix this.
While I received my last radiation and chemo treatment. This song comes along ! I had never heard of these guys! Now I’m just hooked!! I want to see them come to the Red Rocks! Denver!
Heard this song for the first time earlier this year. Was sitting in my car on break, feeling low after my divorce was finalized, and then i heard this on XM radio. Perfectly bittersweet memories and feelings hit me with each lyric. Plus, the music and Lucius background vocals just made me feel ao many things. They easily became a favorite of mine.
"I'm gonna take you to the place I need to go; We're all just walking through this darkness on our own... Beautiful. You actually inspired everone on the planet I think
First time I heard TWOD I was driving home in a summer afternoon after playing my music during a festival. Every time I hear a new song by them, I always go back to that beautiful moment which has gone, and this song seems to be composed just for this sensation... Thank you God for giving us these awesome artists and those strong emotions
“You can dance. You can make me laugh. You've got x-ray eyes. You know how to sing. You're a diplomat. You've got it all. Everybody loves you. You can charm the birds out of the sky, But I, I've got one thing. You always know just what to say And when to go, But I've got one thing. You can see in the dark, But I've got one thing: I loved you better." -Laurie Anderson
Heading into my forties after failures and triumphs at work, love, and life, this band speaks my heart. Thank you for writing beautiful music that is making me feel something and inspiring me to write music again.
So true. I normally can’t listen to anything made in the last 20 years. I usually listen to “traditional” country during my downtime but this song is phenomenal.
This is definitely the best new song I've heard in a very long time. Deep. Meaningful. Touching. This band have a hook that I can't even describe a real uniqueness.
Wow - what a fucking band! I was 16 years old when I first listened to Red Eyes back in 2013. Discovering what would simply become my all time favourite band. When Lost In The Dream was released in 2014 it became an album that defined my teenage years. Smoked my first joint and freaked myself out listening to Under the Pressure, blasting Ocean Inbetween the Waves out my first car until the speakers blew, the midnight walks listening to In Reverse and so on... I'm 24 now and I'm wondering where the fuck time has went and the people I once shared these memories with! I don't think I realise just how much I need this album. Next year I'm planning on going to NZ for a year and I already know this is the album that I'm going to listen back to in 20 years and instantly be transported back to this time in my life. Thank you Adam & co for providing the goods and using your art to express feelings people would only dream of capturing in your amazing music! For now I get to enjoy this beautiful tune and create great memories in the deserted Scottish Islands of St Kilda out in the Atlantic ocean this weekend and I'll take great pride in being the first to experience this masterpiece there!
I drove through the Highlands of Scotland the day "Strangest Thing" was released, and it will forver take me back to that incredible place. Amazing the way music can help you time travel
@@michaelmccrary2486 I've spent the better half of my adult life driving endlessly through the vast Scottish landscapes listening to their music at all times of the day. I remember cycling through Glen Nevis and put on Thinking Of A Place for the first time - sun was beating down, quite fresh outside and it was the most glorious 10 minutes of my life. Never really been able to replicate that feeling again like the first time I heard that song. This album is going to be amazing!
Hey dude, relate. I was 15 when Lost in the Dream came out and it defined my Summer too, and has accompanied me ever since as I've flailed about trying to grow up. It's an incredibly special album to me and one of the first albums I deeply resonated with that made me aware of the power of music. 23 now, and Lost in the Dream gets a spin every now and then and makes me feel quite emotional! Seen them live twice now and booked to see them on their upcoming tour- enjoying the singles from the new record! Enjoy those Scottish Isles
@@wren_stone This growing up business isn't for me either! Lost in the Dream is one of the album's that without even thinking about it - I would say has had the most impact on me. I don't listen to it as religiously as I once did but when I revisit it, I'm always picking up things I missed and it just gets more and more special each time. I'm looking forward to this new album but vouched not to listen to anymore singles until the album's out - we'll see how that pans out for me
I shared this song with my 71 year old dad, who had never heard it. He text me back "yeah, I've always loved that song!" Because of how beautiful and nostalgic it is, he assumed it was a classic from the 80's that he remembered. God, I love this band!
Great to see that an artist who is an adult and has real-life experience, and can tell a real story, create an incredible song that moves so many of us!
Best song I've heard in my head ever it's a pure masterpiece and I pretty much know whose life inspired it well done absolutely nailed it Dave Learmont
the bob dylan references !! “creature void of form” (shelter from the storm) and “like when we went to see bob dylan and danced to desolation row” !!! brilliant
Desolation row -> ‘they’re painting the passports brown (fascism/covid proof of vaccine)... the circus is in town ... the blind commissioner... they've got him in a trance (media brainwashing/pressure to conform/police a specific narrative)... And the riot squad they're restless, they need somewhere to go (ie. after the resistance) ... As Lady (the “woman” is taken to safety/shelter from the storm... while awaiting the bridegroom’s arrival)... and I (a watchman)... look out (keeping watch) tonight (=from the darkness)... (the betrayer/treacherous betrays/cheats in the cover of darkness... ) It’s quite smart, as Dylan loaded so many (symbolic) images into the two songs referenced-granduciel is sort of having his cake and eating it too... ie. he made what sounds like a cool pop song, that floats (not heavy) as it’s kind of shallow (in comparison to the weight of a Dylan masterpiece), he’s barely casting any aspersions in the process-but once you dig into Dylan’s lyrics, you know he’s actually pointing towards what is happening-the darkness that the world is in. He’s subtly playing the role of the town crier... (again by quoting a previous town crier) ‘it’s 12 o’clock and all is (not) well... get out while you can, the enemy has landed...’
LYRICS [Verse 1: Granduciel] I was lying in my bed A creature void of form Been so afraid of everything I need a chance to be reborn I never wanted anything That someone had to give I don't live here anymore I went along [with it?] [Verse 2: Granduciel] When I think about the old days, babe You're always on my mind [And now / I know] it ain't like I remember I guess my memories run wild Like when we went to see Bob Dylan We danced to "Desolation Row" But I don't live here anymore But I got no place to go [Chorus: Granduciel & Granduciel with Lucius] Beating like a heart I'm gonna walk through every doorway, I can't stop I need some time, I need control, I need your love I wanna find out everything I need to know I'm gonna say everything that there is to say Although you've taken everything I need away I'm gonna make it to the place I need to go We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own [Verse 3: Granduciel] Time surrounds me like an ocean My memories like waves Is life just dying in slow motion Or getting' stronger everyday? I never took our love for granted You never left me wanting more But you never recognize me babe I don't live here anymore [Chorus: Granduciel & Granduciel with Lucius] Beating like a heart I'm gonna walk through every doorway, I can't stop I need some time, I need control, I need your love I wanna find out everything I need to know I'm gonna say everything that I need to say Although you've taken everything I need away I'm gonna take you to the place I need to go We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own Beating like a heart I'm gonna walk through every doorway, I can't stop I need some time, I need control, I need your love I wanna find out everything I need to know I'm gonna say everything that I need to say Although you've taken everything I need away I'm gonna take you to the place I need to go We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own [Outro: Lucius] We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own
This song so totally moves me. I've had it on repeat pretty much all afternoon. The musicianship, the vocals, Lucius adds such dimension to this song. Thanks god there are still musicians out there making this kind of music. Bravo. well done!
This song came out when I was staying in a cabin for a few weeks because my (now ex) wife asked me to leave. I felt like it was reading my mind. I listened to it over and over again and it just spoke to me in a way that was almost unbelievable.
Gen X'er here. This is by far the best thing I've heard in 20+ years. And I mean it. Good lord what a song. To see these guys are my age and finding relevance with the kids today is inspiring. And then I saw that they sell their album on casette tape on their website. Be still my beating heart.
Gen X'er here as well. This song is incredible and it sends me spiraling back into the 80's with memories of a kid. This song came out of no where and just hit me in the heart. Thanks to Apple Music for putting it on my "New Music" suggestions.
I heard this today on the radio 91X (San Diego) and so far in the last 8 hours, I have listened to it 10 times. This song is so nostalgic and fresh all at the same time. I needed this. Thank you!
@@keithlarrimore I heard it the first time on our local indie radio station serving the college crowd....also this one:ruclips.net/video/yOz3VJD4L0o/видео.html
Sounds great. But to me it sounds a bit like "Animal" from Def Leppard, slowed down, for the most part... with a couple more elements thrown in... Nevertheless, anything that can bring a bit of the 80's sound and spirit back it's OK by me... 😎
@ghost mall totally agree and the 80's echoing drums are pure Baywatch Theme! Grundial has a feel for epic soundscapes that reminds me of Knoffler in the Telegraph Road era of Dire Straights. Same passion.
I got hooked on this track in January 23. I was stuck in a hotel in Angeles City Philippines with terrible food poisoning. I couldn't move or eat and lay there with the TV remote playing this song on RUclips over and over again. Watching this video and loving every second. Its simply outstanding and now I'm better....well its even sweeter !!!
I had never heard of TWOD until my 13 year old daughter (who lives with her mum 200 hundred miles away) came to visit me when Lost in the Dream was released, and said "here Dad have a listen to your new favourite band" and man was she right, my favourite band at the time was the wonderful Arcade fire, but it just has to be TWOD now. I'm 68 now and still rockin an rollin.

Lucky enough to have friends who’s music always inspires - and then ask you to be a part of it? What?!!
Thank you for taking us on this ride.
Your performance in this is beautiful! Thank you! :)
Love your music and your vocals in this take the song to another place! Thank you and hope you can perform this live with the band!

Might have thought you'd be a fan. They're a "new-ish" band, but their sound transcends time. Of course, the 80s vibe helps. Glad a legend like you is on board.

Check out " better" by Michigander, my other favorite new song. And the whole new Del Amitri album

I dont see another band even close to what they are putting out now. They are nothing short of phenomenal.

Dang, I literally just posted this same thing...I'm just now reading all the other comments...lol
what year were you born MG ?
@@MichaelFlynn0 born in 1985, was addicted to MTV and VH1 as a kid.
No doubt, sounds like it came straight out of the eighties, I grew up in the eighties as well , best new song I've heard in many years
By far the best discovery of this dreadful year, real chords, thumping drums, a crisp piano, even a saxo... reminds me of the 80's, all delivered with a bite and hunger for more
This song is incredible, full of soul, nostalgia and pure magic. Has brought tears to my eyes plenty of times
This feels instantly nostalgic, like an old radio song I never found the title of until now.
My exact thoughts. Could this pass for a melloncamp song?
And Madison Square Garden will be shaking during I don't live here anymore !!! I can't wait !!!
Totally agree
It has a lot in common with Don Henley's Boys of Summer: catchy repetitive synth riff in the background overlaid with wandering guitar licks.
Reminds of like Richard Marx mixed with Roxy Music. I like it.
I've been listening to music for over 50 years and music of this quality is quite special. Wonderful lyrics and haunting production.
The joy on the Lucius singers' faces is exactly what people feel listening to TWOD. All that's been missing is the visual, until now.
Still coming back here almost everyday. This is one fabulous song, never get tired of it. The producers did a fantastic job on this one.
This is my second comment, I have converted 3 people at my gym. I'm a middle aged black man, I listen to wu tang, chilli peppers, public enemy. This song is dope.
Never let anything, age, culture etc. determine what you listen to. Just enjoy what you love. I'll be enjoying this song when I'm 100 yrs.old.
As a Black Man I Agree This Is Dope.

65 and right with you
This song somehow becomes more beautiful everytime I listen to it
While I received my last radiation and chemo treatment. This song comes along ! I had never heard of these guys! Now I’m just hooked!! I want to see them come to the Red Rocks! Denver!

Me too
See you September 19th ;)
Congratulations on completing your treatment!
Pain is a great song
Heard this song for the first time earlier this year. Was sitting in my car on break, feeling low after my divorce was finalized, and then i heard this on XM radio. Perfectly bittersweet memories and feelings hit me with each lyric. Plus, the music and Lucius background vocals just made me feel ao many things. They easily became a favorite of mine.
"I'm gonna take you to the place I need to go; We're all just walking through this darkness on our own...
Beautiful. You actually inspired everone on the planet I think
Lucius vocals make this song soar. It’s already beautiful but that backing vocal makes hit skyrocket
They are the only war I hope never ends! Absolutely love this
the only war you never want to end? so you are cool with locking up people for marihuana and empowering cartels and drug lords around the world. DERP

@@91lilfrozone23 lol
@@91lilfrozone23 100% I don't get how this band has this name and no one even comments on how racist it is. Like. For. Real. Cringy AF

First time I heard TWOD I was driving home in a summer afternoon after playing my music during a festival. Every time I hear a new song by them, I always go back to that beautiful moment which has gone, and this song seems to be composed just for this sensation... Thank you God for giving us these awesome artists and those strong emotions
Going through the worst break up with this song on repeat. Couldn’t ask for a better one
It'll get better
this song gonna get you through it bro!!
tough times don't last. You got this!
Sending good vibes your way!
“You can dance.
You can make me laugh.
You've got x-ray eyes.
You know how to sing.
You're a diplomat.
You've got it all.
Everybody loves you.
You can charm the birds out of the sky, But I, I've got
one thing.
You always know just what to say
And when to go,
But I've got one thing.
You can see in the dark,
But I've got one thing:
I loved you better."
-Laurie Anderson
"We'll all just walking through the stardust on our own."
Heading into my forties after failures and triumphs at work, love, and life, this band speaks my heart. Thank you for writing beautiful music that is making me feel something and inspiring me to write music again.
Me too thank you for wording this better than I could 🙏
NEVER give up!!
Beautifully worded
Amen
I'm feeling very similar feelings as a 37 year old
Fuggin love the Lucius touch on this song. When people say there is no more good rock out there this is the band I use to prove them wrong.
You’re damn right!
I was just about the post the exact same thing.
Those people are lazy.
Always good rock and roll out there!!
So true. I normally can’t listen to anything made in the last 20 years. I usually listen to “traditional” country during my downtime but this song is phenomenal.
They have something special in their songs omgggg It touches my soul everytimeeee! 😍
Concur
Exactly!
Gives me the good chills!!!
👍👍🧡
Everytime!!!!
I am a thrash-metal head, but damn this song is timeless. Really hits me
This is definitely the best new song I've heard in a very long time. Deep. Meaningful. Touching. This band have a hook that I can't even describe a real uniqueness.
You hit the nail on the head there, spot on. Totally sums up my thoughts on this song and the band. Incredible song!
What a way to wake up this morning. I can already feel the weight this record is gonna hit me with. Oct 29th cannot come soon enough, GAWD.
Every song by The War on Drugs is a masterpiece, can't wait for the new album!
Real music for real people
Makes a change to be able to listen to the lyrics absolute quality this song
Wow - what a fucking band! I was 16 years old when I first listened to Red Eyes back in 2013. Discovering what would simply become my all time favourite band. When Lost In The Dream was released in 2014 it became an album that defined my teenage years. Smoked my first joint and freaked myself out listening to Under the Pressure, blasting Ocean Inbetween the Waves out my first car until the speakers blew, the midnight walks listening to In Reverse and so on...
I'm 24 now and I'm wondering where the fuck time has went and the people I once shared these memories with! I don't think I realise just how much I need this album. Next year I'm planning on going to NZ for a year and I already know this is the album that I'm going to listen back to in 20 years and instantly be transported back to this time in my life. Thank you Adam & co for providing the goods and using your art to express feelings people would only dream of capturing in your amazing music!
For now I get to enjoy this beautiful tune and create great memories in the deserted Scottish Islands of St Kilda out in the Atlantic ocean this weekend and I'll take great pride in being the first to experience this masterpiece there!
I drove through the Highlands of Scotland the day "Strangest Thing" was released, and it will forver take me back to that incredible place. Amazing the way music can help you time travel
@@michaelmccrary2486 I've spent the better half of my adult life driving endlessly through the vast Scottish landscapes listening to their music at all times of the day. I remember cycling through Glen Nevis and put on Thinking Of A Place for the first time - sun was beating down, quite fresh outside and it was the most glorious 10 minutes of my life. Never really been able to replicate that feeling again like the first time I heard that song.
This album is going to be amazing!
Hey dude, relate. I was 15 when Lost in the Dream came out and it defined my Summer too, and has accompanied me ever since as I've flailed about trying to grow up. It's an incredibly special album to me and one of the first albums I deeply resonated with that made me aware of the power of music. 23 now, and Lost in the Dream gets a spin every now and then and makes me feel quite emotional! Seen them live twice now and booked to see them on their upcoming tour- enjoying the singles from the new record! Enjoy those Scottish Isles
How amazing to have experienced St Kilda
@@wren_stone This growing up business isn't for me either! Lost in the Dream is one of the album's that without even thinking about it - I would say has had the most impact on me. I don't listen to it as religiously as I once did but when I revisit it, I'm always picking up things I missed and it just gets more and more special each time.
I'm looking forward to this new album but vouched not to listen to anymore singles until the album's out - we'll see how that pans out for me
0:19 when the drums kick in. Love it.
Really love the vibe of this song. Sounds like an 80s song and thats a big compliment.
I shared this song with my 71 year old dad, who had never heard it. He text me back "yeah, I've always loved that song!" Because of how beautiful and nostalgic it is, he assumed it was a classic from the 80's that he remembered. God, I love this band!
I associate this with Don Henley’s Boys of Summer. Both equally great.
Great to see that an artist who is an adult and has real-life experience, and can tell a real story, create an incredible song that moves so many of us!
Yes! You are right 👍🏻
This is v Nice song
🥰😍from india✌️
What a MASTERPIECE!!! Best song of 2021 for sure
WOW! Those women have such incredible magical voices! ♥
Angels! incredible gooze bumps
I am obsessed with this tune. Thank you

I know that feel, bro...
One of the most emotional songs that I ever heard in last years , too much feelings at the same time. Congratulations guys, well done . 10/10
Best song I've heard in my head ever it's a pure masterpiece and I pretty much know whose life inspired it well done absolutely nailed it Dave Learmont
the bob dylan references !! “creature void of form” (shelter from the storm) and “like when we went to see bob dylan and danced to desolation row” !!! brilliant
First time I listened, I was like "Wait a second, that's a Dylan lyrics"
@@bhawx10 Me too haha...Just listening to it first time now and came to comments to see if anyone else noticed
Desolation row -> ‘they’re painting the passports brown (fascism/covid proof of vaccine)... the circus is in town ... the blind commissioner... they've got him in a trance (media brainwashing/pressure to conform/police a specific narrative)... And the riot squad they're restless, they need somewhere to go (ie. after the resistance) ... As Lady (the “woman” is taken to safety/shelter from the storm... while awaiting the bridegroom’s arrival)... and I (a watchman)... look out (keeping watch) tonight (=from the darkness)... (the betrayer/treacherous betrays/cheats in the cover of darkness... )
It’s quite smart, as Dylan loaded so many (symbolic) images into the two songs referenced-granduciel is sort of having his cake and eating it too... ie. he made what sounds like a cool pop song, that floats (not heavy) as it’s kind of shallow (in comparison to the weight of a Dylan masterpiece), he’s barely casting any aspersions in the process-but once you dig into Dylan’s lyrics, you know he’s actually pointing towards what is happening-the darkness that the world is in. He’s subtly playing the role of the town crier... (again by quoting a previous town crier) ‘it’s 12 o’clock and all is (not) well... get out while you can, the enemy has landed...’
Pound for pound best band in the world. Absolutely majestic. Can't wait to see them in Edinburgh, Scotland next year.
Oh my god.Tears pouring down my face.What a beautiful song
I’m pushing 70, and This group is one my all time favorites. I picked (1st discovered 2016) them up and not put them down. I love their stuff.
Kindred spirit - I’m a similar age and loving these guys. 😊
Live long and prosper, my friend. Love your taste.
LYRICS
[Verse 1: Granduciel]
I was lying in my bed
A creature void of form
Been so afraid of everything
I need a chance to be reborn
I never wanted anything
That someone had to give
I don't live here anymore
I went along [with it?]
[Verse 2: Granduciel]
When I think about the old days, babe
You're always on my mind
[And now / I know] it ain't like I remember
I guess my memories run wild
Like when we went to see Bob Dylan
We danced to "Desolation Row"
But I don't live here anymore
But I got no place to go
[Chorus: Granduciel & Granduciel with Lucius]
Beating like a heart
I'm gonna walk through every doorway, I can't stop
I need some time, I need control, I need your love
I wanna find out everything I need to know
I'm gonna say everything that there is to say
Although you've taken everything I need away
I'm gonna make it to the place I need to go
We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own
[Verse 3: Granduciel]
Time surrounds me like an ocean
My memories like waves
Is life just dying in slow motion
Or getting' stronger everyday?
I never took our love for granted
You never left me wanting more
But you never recognize me babe
I don't live here anymore
[Chorus: Granduciel & Granduciel with Lucius]
Beating like a heart
I'm gonna walk through every doorway, I can't stop
I need some time, I need control, I need your love
I wanna find out everything I need to know
I'm gonna say everything that I need to say
Although you've taken everything I need away
I'm gonna take you to the place I need to go
We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own
Beating like a heart
I'm gonna walk through every doorway, I can't stop
I need some time, I need control, I need your love
I wanna find out everything I need to know
I'm gonna say everything that I need to say
Although you've taken everything I need away
I'm gonna take you to the place I need to go
We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own
[Outro: Lucius]
We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own
We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own
We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own
We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own

"I went along (with it?)"
I hear "I went out on a limb"
And thanks so much for this!
I love Lucius' voices. They elevate the song to another level.
You guys are amazing, congratulations on this single.
i thought the song was a little bit shit...
Grab a guitar, compose, and try to get over this "shit." Luck.
I can't stop listening to this song...remembering the old days.
The addition of Lucius is superb. It adds the acidulous note to the song at the right place.
Excellent! Absolutely excellent! And the Lucius background at 2:00 adds so much. The engineering and mixing are simply perfect!
Granduciel, you absolute genius
This song so totally moves me. I've had it on repeat pretty much all afternoon. The musicianship, the vocals, Lucius adds such dimension to this song. Thanks god there are still musicians out there making this kind of music. Bravo. well done!
This song came out when I was staying in a cabin for a few weeks because my (now ex) wife asked me to leave. I felt like it was reading my mind. I listened to it over and over again and it just spoke to me in a way that was almost unbelievable.
80's vibes, this song feels so good between all the crap we hear daily, Thank you !
For the first time in nearly 20 years, my heart is opened by listening to this. Thank you.
Still unbeatable.
Hard, fckin hard to beat
Gen X'er here. This is by far the best thing I've heard in 20+ years. And I mean it. Good lord what a song. To see these guys are my age and finding relevance with the kids today is inspiring. And then I saw that they sell their album on casette tape on their website. Be still my beating heart.
YES!
That's mad respect coming from the 90s..
Gen X'er here as well. This song is incredible and it sends me spiraling back into the 80's with memories of a kid. This song came out of no where and just hit me in the heart. Thanks to Apple Music for putting it on my "New Music" suggestions.
Fellow Gen X'r, here. Saw them in August and it was a phenomenal show.
Couldn’t agree more. Takes me back and forward at the same time. Great 80s vibe with deep words
The guitar work in this track is amazing, the song is perfect, but the comments of how it’s helped people through tough times is simply priceless.
Just 2 chords as well!
This is probably one of the best songs I've ever heard, it gives me hope that the human race can still produce good music.
Saw these guys in Camden, NJ on the waterfront a few years ago. They were so good I was literally laughing. Melted everyone’s face off.
@@rgmccabe I bet it was great. I'm glad you were able to enjoy such a show!
Feb 2022 Toronto. I am there.
I heard this today on the radio 91X (San Diego) and so far in the last 8 hours, I have listened to it 10 times. This song is so nostalgic and fresh all at the same time. I needed this. Thank you!
80’s music will never die! This comes on the radio, turn the radio up, it’s 1986!
You have about zero chance of hearing this on the radio 🤣
Soo much more than 80's music.. wow.
Turn up the radio!!!
@@keithlarrimore sad though
@@keithlarrimore I heard it the first time on our local indie radio station serving the college crowd....also this one:ruclips.net/video/yOz3VJD4L0o/видео.html
this is such a classic, it's got time, atmosphere, sensations of movement and light. I love it.
Absolutely beautiful. My most hyped record for the year because of the pure passion and emotional power it will have
Chili Peppers and the return of Frusciante is mine.
I can't stop listening and await each new gem with such anticipation
@@stephenodell7253 My most hyped song from it is I Don’t Wanna Wait the demo was so damn good
I just can't stop listening to this most beautiful and soulful piece of art!!!
Feeling some "Betty Davis Eyes" with Springsteen's 80s Era. It can't go wrong!!!! Absolutely f*cking Great Tune!!! 😍
También un Bryan Adams , espectacular tema hacen todos juntos 😄
Sounds great. But to me it sounds a bit like "Animal" from Def Leppard, slowed down, for the most part... with a couple more elements thrown in...
Nevertheless, anything that can bring a bit of the 80's sound and spirit back it's OK by me... 😎
@@conan5885 yes indeed, my friend! 🤓
Boys of summer. Just saying.
+ Bryan Adams, Don Henley, Tom Petty and a bit of Kate Bush.
oh that bass
Killer song I'm blown away and moved to tears. I love the style. Please keep putting out more!
Nothing touches more on what is faded and what has been lost, and its promises, big and small, than this band
👌👍✊✌️
Chills everywhere when that 80s-esque guitar lick came in for the first time... WOW
This is what we need.
Reminds me of tears for fears love it
@ghost mall totally agree and the 80's echoing drums are pure Baywatch Theme! Grundial has a feel for epic soundscapes that reminds me of Knoffler in the Telegraph Road era of Dire Straights. Same passion.
Dire Straits, Tom Petty, Springsteen, The Cure, Pink Floyd...they have all the right influences. This one has a Def Leppard/Whitesnake touch also.
@ghost mall yeah the guitar lick brings to mind some 80's hard/glam ballads
I got hooked on this track in January 23. I was stuck in a hotel in Angeles City Philippines with terrible food poisoning. I couldn't move or eat and lay there with the TV remote playing this song on RUclips over and over again. Watching this video and loving every second. Its simply outstanding and now I'm better....well its even sweeter !!!
This is one of my faves by them. Lucius adds so much beauty to this song too with their voices ❤️
Yes, the background singing in this song is magical. I think it's the main reason I want to hear this song again and again.
Still the greatest kept secret in music. Seen them at the Greek & the Hollywood Bowl and those are 2 of the greatest nights of my life. WOD forever ❤️
I had never heard of TWOD until my 13 year old daughter (who lives with her mum 200 hundred miles away) came to visit me when Lost in the Dream was released, and said "here Dad have a listen to your new favourite band" and man was she right, my favourite band at the time was the wonderful Arcade fire, but it just has to be TWOD now. I'm 68 now and still rockin an rollin.
smart kid, she must've had some really cool, really great parents! ;)
Me too 68 and loveing this.
.... my daughter has turned me onto some great tunes also Tony .... love it.
