Tell me about it. This song is incredible. It's great that there are some bands still out there that can pull off the 80's rock style. Damn, what a song.
I still Remember the day i listened this song on the radio for the first time. It was a late spring afternoon, the sky was full of light and i was driving my convertible on a road between the trees.. fallen in love, i still come here sometimes to listen . ..
As with most Afghan Whigs stuff you should give it 3 listens before voicing an opinion on the song. Dulli is the greatest musical artist to come out of the 90's.
Whoever the music director is for Ray Donovan is amazing, they deserve an award. I've heard so much awesome music from that show. This song is hauntingly beautiful❤
This is music that you listen to as you look at a blood-red sunset on a black horse and turn to wave goodbye to your lover, because you're an outlaw, and an outlaw has to be alone. And as you cry silent tears you wave a gentle wave, and then ride into the unknown desert that's ahead as you try to comfort yourself by remembering that you didn't choose this life, it chose you.
Music video inspired by a Clint Eastwood movie 'High Plains Drifter' (1973), in which a sheriff of a town called Lago gets whipped by a gang of gunslingers and outlaws hitting him with cattle whips, and he goes back as an avenging spirit and teaches them and the citizens who just stood by while he was whipped to death a lesson... And he tells the citizens to paint all buildings red and renames the town 'HELL' before the final showdown.
It's artistic license, though there is an Algiers, IN. The US borrowed lots of city names from other countries as people were settling further west. There's a Paris, KY, and Rome, NY, and Alexandria, VA - you get the picture.
Faith, the diamond in the chain Still I was a slave Waiting to be saved Dream The body sleeps, but I Am not too proud to roll On the back streets It's oh so simple when you know You'll know this when it's time to go Stray Soon you'll leave behind The lonely past you've sold Paradise Scream The body leaves the bone To sit upon the throne The battle waged for life Dream Dream your sins away Sing your dreams away Your holding back Stop holding back a chain Say you love me tonight Save your love for me tonight And I feel you now I lie awake and love drunk I feel you now Heavenly demons outside my window Sent here to see my outside this world I call the shadow, you call the season That salted wound
I can't get enough of this song... just been listening on repeat the last 24 hours since released... Magnificent. Can not WAIT to hear the rest of D2TB.
Ray Donavon brought me here, this guy sing's this song "Algiers" with so much conviction! Fitting tune for this episode. Never herd of Afghan Whigs, I Love It!!!
Algiers The Afghan Whigs Algiers lyrics Flamed, the time when nearly changed Still I was a slave, waiting to be saved Dream, the body sleeps but I Am not too proud to roll On the back streets So, so simple when you know You know this when it's time to go Strange, the sooner you leave behind Lonely as you sold paradise Scream, the body leaves the bone To sit upon the throne A better waits for life Dream, dream your sins away Sing your dreams away You're holding back, still holding back Algiers Huh Say you love me tonight Save you love for me tonight And I feel you now I lie awake on the way of love And I feel But I Heavenly daemons outside my window Sent here to see me outside this world I call the shadow, you call the season That's all it takes A tous un grand bonjour d'Alger en Algérie For all of you hello from Algiers in Algeria

So glad to have these guys back on the scene after all this time; not content to rest on their laurels, but with a renewed vigor and sense of purpose that continues to define what these legends are made of and where they are going. Actually, Dulli never left the scene, he just comes out of hiding every once in a while to remind us who he is and why he gets better with age.
Faith The diamond in the chain Still I was a slave Waiting to be saved Dream The body sleeps but I Am not too proud to roam On the back streets It's oh, so simple when you know You'll know this when it's time to go Stray And soon you'll leave behind The loneliness you've sown Paradise leans Scream The body leaves the bone To sit upon the throne The battle waged for light Dream Dream your sins away Sin your dreams away You're holding back, stop holding back Unchain! Say you'll love me tonight Save your love for me tonight And I feel you now Lie awake and love drunk I feel you now Heavenly daemons outside my window Sent here to see me outside this world I call the shadow, you call the season That salted wound... i call the shadow you call the season. ode to mark lanegan?
Getting a band back together to record new music can be dicey business. Like Guided By Voices, its nice to see the Whigs reuniting with something legitimate to say...what a great tune.
Loved this from the first minute of listening. [though you're point is true in many instances. such are the nuances, etc] Thanks Afghan Whigs. Good to have you back.
A few years ago, I got into a Limo on NYE and Rick was driving. I had no idea who he was, until we starting talking. I really wished he was on this album. Interesting guy.
I'm sure you're awear of the new riders of the purple sage, Garcia started that band,and played pedal steel until buddy cage replaced him. The band was started in 1970 I saw that many times and I'm a very big fan, I met the band at the lone star cafe, we partied until 5am and management kick us out they had all kinds of good things to party with. I was buying beer all during the show for lead singer John Dawson,so we were invited back stage. It was a major highlight of my life.
Its nice that the 39 whips so how still ring, i recall a show back in the days with the Whigs which started with the 39 whips, in my world symbolizing Jesus Christ´s walk up og Golgata mountain... And "my world is NOT empty" now that im not without the whigs anymore...

RAY DONOVAN BROUGHT ME HERE :)
This has a really Old school 70's/80's rock feel. I love it!!!!!!!
Same here
Ditto! Come in Ray and tell me about your day.
Same here! Guitar reminds me of Tom Petty (Face in the Crowd). Excellent tune!
Tell me about it. This song is incredible. It's great that there are some bands still out there that can pull off the 80's rock style. Damn, what a song.
Ray fucking Donovan! Broughy all us here
I still Remember the day i listened this song on the radio for the first time. It was a late spring afternoon, the sky was full of light and i was driving my convertible on a road between the trees.. fallen in love, i still come here sometimes to listen . ..
What radio station plays the Whigs ? Omg !
No-one cares.
As with most Afghan Whigs stuff you should give it 3 listens before voicing an opinion on the song. Dulli is the greatest musical artist to come out of the 90's.
im loving "it kills"
I loved it after the first listen
This was an instant classic for me after the first minute.
Greg Dulli has truly perfected the craft.
I've heard it about 300 times. IMHO you are absolutely correct.
Pretentious horseshit is what it is. Maybe I should watch paint dry three times before I voice my opinion.
Whoever the music director is for Ray Donovan is amazing, they deserve an award. I've heard so much awesome music from that show. This song is hauntingly beautiful❤
I first heard on Ray Donovan 👍
True
Wow that’s crazy I’m re watching the series and caught this song at the end of one of the episodes , made me want to look it ❤ great song
I'm here because 8 heard it there and I had to listen to it again and again...... And again
that is so true
I'm here for the afghan whigs, one of the most underrated bands of all time.....
Yeah, a video titled 'The Afghan Whigs - Algiers [OFFICIAL VIDEO]' on their publisher's channel would be the place to go...
this song is fucking incredible. FUCKING INCREDIBLE god damn it.
My hero, Ray Donovan. What a mother fuckin awesome family. Great series. Best since The Sopranos.
This is music that you listen to as you look at a blood-red sunset on a black horse and turn to wave goodbye to your lover, because you're an outlaw, and an outlaw has to be alone. And as you cry silent tears you wave a gentle wave, and then ride into the unknown desert that's ahead as you try to comfort yourself by remembering that you didn't choose this life, it chose you.
+Socratic Paradox so beautiful
+Socratic Paradox forgive me... but i just got an erection!
Socratic Paradox - excellent and beautiful poetry which truly lives as an image in my mind whilst reading your words. Bravo!
Outlaws don't cry
@@DavidGriffin-ww2fk Crying isn't a weakness.
this song is way too underrated
Absolutely!
And so fucking amazing! A masterpiece.
One of their best imho.
Underrated by who???
At the age of 26 i had given up on ever hearing another life changing album..... Thank you afghan whigs I have been blown away.
how's life going mate?
what were the others one ?
thats something you shouldnt say until your deathbed
I am here because I am a fan of the Afghan Whigs. Not because of some TV show. But hey, whatever leads you to this great music is a good thing!
Rochelle Pettijohn me too 👌
Rochelle Pettijohn me too :)
Yes, but thanks to Ray Donovan for the extra 500K views.
Check out Morrisey. He's from the 80s. Music is like fashion. It always comes back around
Dulli's voice hasn't lost a thing. Still great as ever.
Music video inspired by a Clint Eastwood movie 'High Plains Drifter' (1973), in which a sheriff of a town called Lago gets whipped by a gang of gunslingers and outlaws hitting him with cattle whips, and he goes back as an avenging spirit and teaches them and the citizens who just stood by while he was whipped to death a lesson... And he tells the citizens to paint all buildings red and renames the town 'HELL' before the final showdown.
This is one of those magical songs that does what you want it to do and goes where you want it to go, all before you realize it.
this is why afghan whigs is one of my favorite bands, 16 years after their last album they come back with the same vibe and appeal but doing new stuff
I think I caught Covid at the Afghan Whigs concert this past Tuesday but it was worth it. They sound so great live
"Dream your sins away. Sin your dreams away..." 🎯
Love from Algiers , Algeria .great song thank you ♡♡♡♡♡
Damn this song is so catchy it's been stuck in my head for days, when I listen to it I can feel myself in the back of that limo
Hello beautiful Brooke❤️❤️❤️❤️
Iam algerian and idk what this song has to with my country but i must say : this is a gem i found !
It's artistic license, though there is an Algiers, IN. The US borrowed lots of city names from other countries as people were settling further west. There's a Paris, KY, and Rome, NY, and Alexandria, VA - you get the picture.
New Orleans
I live in Algiers, New Orleans, where Rosser was living.
Doesn’t have much to do with our Algiers, either 😆
@@bbbbb54455 considering Text Form, a methaforic hint to some US University Dissertation...might be Insider Stuff, mighten't it ??
👎
Thanks Ann Biderman for creating Ray Donovan, and turning us on to this fab sound.
The Last true Rock Star.
Faith, the diamond in the chain
Still I was a slave
Waiting to be saved
Dream
The body sleeps, but I
Am not too proud to roll
On the back streets
It's oh so simple when you know
You'll know this when it's time to go
Stray
Soon you'll leave behind
The lonely past you've sold
Paradise
Scream
The body leaves the bone
To sit upon the throne
The battle waged for life
Dream
Dream your sins away
Sing your dreams away
Your holding back
Stop holding back a chain
Say you love me tonight
Save your love for me tonight
And I feel you now
I lie awake and love drunk
I feel you now
Heavenly demons outside my window
Sent here to see my outside this world
I call the shadow, you call the season
That salted wound
I dont know why but this song runs through my mind at least once a week....I'm obsessed.
Did anyone else Shazam the shit out of the closing credits to Ray Donovan this week? :D
No you lazy person. I memorized a lyric and googled it the old-fashioned way!!!
aMacFanatic Its a bitch listening on headphones and trying to hold the phone up to the phone to shazam it!
aMacFanatic Haha, that's how I did it, too.Nice tune.
aMacFanatic hahaha
aMacFanatic same here ... old-fashioned way (y)
I can't get enough of this song... just been listening on repeat the last 24 hours since released... Magnificent. Can not WAIT to hear the rest of D2TB.
This goes through the whole body in many aspects …
This song really grows on you, like a lot of 1965 I didn't really like it at first but then I needed to hear it again. The Whigs always amaze me.
They got me with the guitars...just the composition; it’s genius.
damn this song gives me true detective vibes....man i miss that show
Yeah, shame that this record didn't come out a year ago. T-Bone may have picked a track from it to use.
haha damnn soo true
Record came out 4-15-14. Almost a year
Excellent song. Dulli's voice is aging and sounds better than the 90s.
Ray Donavon brought me here, this guy sing's this song "Algiers" with so much conviction! Fitting tune for this episode. Never herd of Afghan Whigs, I Love It!!!
This music video is fully based on "High Plains Drifter" a western movie with Clint Eastwood from the 70s! Great music! Great Video! Great Band!
I can’t even explain how much I love this song. It just has something so unique. And of course, it reminds me of that episode of Ray Donovan.
This line amazes me,"Dream..dream your sins away, sin your dreams awaaay...still holdin back!"
Greg's voice is bone chilling. Love the Whigs
The amount of talent this man has is astounding, its a damn shame that nobody knows who he is.
I must say: Thank you Ray Donovan....the song is so good!!!!!!
Ray fucking Donovan
Vinod SobalO
A strong striker strummer and singer songwriter isn't a song without poetry in motion..
A fine example of a song sung.
Algiers
The Afghan Whigs Algiers lyrics
Flamed, the time when nearly changed
Still I was a slave, waiting to be saved
Dream, the body sleeps but I
Am not too proud to roll
On the back streets
So, so simple when you know
You know this when it's time to go
Strange, the sooner you leave behind
Lonely as you sold paradise
Scream, the body leaves the bone
To sit upon the throne
A better waits for life
Dream, dream your sins away
Sing your dreams away
You're holding back, still holding back Algiers
Huh
Say you love me tonight
Save you love for me tonight
And I feel you now
I lie awake on the way of love
And I feel
But I
Heavenly daemons outside my window
Sent here to see me outside this world
I call the shadow, you call the season
That's all it takes
A tous un grand bonjour d'Alger en Algérie
For all of you hello from Algiers in Algeria
Is it about our algiers DZ??
@@kechzak7368 i was looking for it's meaning i found nothing related about Algiers the capital.
Very few things excite me. This excites me. A lot. I don't care what the video is. I'm a musician, I make, love, and listen to music. This is solid.
Me too :) ! Was watching Ray Donovan. Awesome song!
Never heard this band before. Gonna check them out from now on!
Heard this on Ray Donovan "Snowflake" episode. Great tune, Really good band. It's great to discover new music always.
My life is never complete without a bit of Dulli/Whigs intertwined into it. Great to have you back.
one of the most underrated artists in human history
Nice nod to “High Plains Drifter.”
Death rides in a pale Lincoln as intended with style. 😂
Love it.
Ray Donovan thank you....and love the high plains drifter connection
I haven't listened to these guys in years. just felt the urge. this song shows off some of their influences, like Roy orbison and the church.
America's greatest band.
Unbelievably underrated.
I can't stop listening to this amazing track! Can't wait for the album!
RAY DONOVAN BROUGHT ME HERE Great song too.
Wow! Was worth the wait for this....the music in the other episodes were really week.
Algiers/Afgan Whigs Do the beast...! yeah Baby!

Ray Donovan brought me here. Good fkn tune!
I was so surprised when this awesome song featured in Ray Donovan. Great way to end the show.
Pre-ordered the vinyl, listened to this 3x on repeat and am officially excited!
The video is lifted straight from one of the greatest westerns of all time - "High Plains Drifter"
So glad to have these guys back on the scene after all this time; not content to rest on their laurels, but with a renewed vigor and sense of purpose that continues to define what these legends are made of and where they are going. Actually, Dulli never left the scene, he just comes out of hiding every once in a while to remind us who he is and why he gets better with age.
Happy 8th birthday "do to the beast"! this song is killer
Thankyou Ray Donovan!
The more I listen to this song, the more I like it. It is beautiful.
Ray Donovan also brought me here, Song ROCKS, show ROCKS!
The boys hit the nail in the head. Again.
Dulli is dead. Long live Dulli.
Love Ray and
this Song!
Happy for John Curley he is a class act.
Faith
The diamond in the chain
Still I was a slave
Waiting to be saved
Dream
The body sleeps but I
Am not too proud to roam
On the back streets
It's oh, so simple when you know
You'll know this when it's time to go
Stray
And soon you'll leave behind
The loneliness you've sown
Paradise leans
Scream
The body leaves the bone
To sit upon the throne
The battle waged for light
Dream
Dream your sins away
Sin your dreams away
You're holding back, stop holding back
Unchain!
Say you'll love me tonight
Save your love for me tonight
And I feel you now
Lie awake and love drunk
I feel you now
Heavenly daemons outside my window
Sent here to see me outside this world
I call the shadow, you call the season
That salted wound...
i call the shadow you call the season.
ode to mark lanegan?
I think what had to be spoken to Mark was spoken. Not saying it's easier.... ruclips.net/video/K0m4pahSRJw/видео.html
Love this song so much!!
Getting a band back together to record new music can be dicey business. Like Guided By Voices, its nice to see the Whigs reuniting with something legitimate to say...what a great tune.
Descobri esta música no seriado Ray Donavan, desde então ela se tornou trilha sonora dos meus rolês. Melhor descoberta de 2017.
new album from Afghan Whigs!! I'm so happy, can't wait to hear it!
Loved this from the first minute of listening. [though you're point is true in many instances. such are the nuances, etc] Thanks Afghan Whigs. Good to have you back.
This will be on infinite loop until 4/15!
Top ten songs of the past ten years. This is there.
Im the opposite. I just loved this song, so i might now watch Ray Donovan
The song is so great at about 2:40 - I get the chills. Thanks Greg.
Ray Donavan brought me here too..great show...awesome tune
He's the best. So untreated. Thank God. We get more to ourselves.
This song is way too perfect
Really greatest song...Thank you Ray Donovan...
I've always heard and loved Afghan Whigs...they've always played the soundtrack of my life...
A few years ago, I got into a Limo on NYE and Rick was driving. I had no idea who he was, until we starting talking. I really wished he was on this album. Interesting guy.
Hello Amazing Alexis 💝💝💝💝💝
Ugh. So amazing! The only negative is that I'm so late to the party with this band. I'm hooked now. One of my favorites. 💿
I'm with you on that. Where in the hell was I?
Never heard of these guys before, grew up in the 90s, how did I miss them... Heard this on Sirius yesterday, been on repeat since.
Guitarist Dave Rosser was a good friend of mine in high school. God rest his soul.
This song is sad and beautiful. Love it
LOVE IT! So glad they're back. Once met Greg Dulli in a bar in Havana and he was so cool.
Finally found it! Former coworker used to play this all the time at work haha
I need to change jobs.
It's good to have these dudes back.
Not bad at all, kinda like country,pop
I'm sure you're awear of the new riders of the purple sage, Garcia started that band,and played pedal steel until buddy cage replaced him. The band was started in 1970 I saw that many times and I'm a very big fan, I met the band at the lone star cafe, we partied until 5am and management kick us out they had all kinds of good things to party with. I was buying beer all during the show for lead singer John Dawson,so we were invited back stage. It was a major highlight of my life.
Magic - the whole album is timeless music ...!
Woaw That is a Hammer. 👍🏻
Ray Donovan🤔 DIDN'T send me. I've been listening🎧 since the beginning.🎤💖
RAY DONOVAN, FOREVER !!!❤️
what a amazing fucking song this is. Did RAY DONOVAN bring anyone else here?
Za sada najbolja stvar 2014-te....
Its nice that the 39 whips so how still ring, i recall a show back in the days with the Whigs which started with the 39 whips, in my world symbolizing Jesus Christ´s walk up og Golgata mountain...
And "my world is NOT empty" now that im not without the whigs anymore...
Great Song to listen anytime ! 2020 covid-19 quarentine
