Ditto...(.almost.)..November 2nd ...I too will be 60. And hearing this song for the first time....( quickly followed by 50 more listens ) ...is like a beautiful birthday present from God Himself. ✌
10 years later, and this song is still in my rotation. I never get tired of this song at all, mixing so much styles of rock music with intense emotion. The War on Drugs is criminally underrated.
They play arenas and have a Grammy. But I love them anyway. Ha! Great band. I actually got into Kurt Vile first, then learned he played on TWOD's first album. I love this band.
I’ve done it. It was the biggest journey I ever undertook. Must’ve lasted 6-7 years. But once it was done… Took another 6-7 to get to the point where I’m totally at peace with the past. But it’s a constant process.
On a building site in Hammersmith London today. Heard this coming out of someone's jbl speaker they'd set down. I just stopped and listened. Asked who's it was, and what this song was. Guy found me the track. Here i am 7 years since this dropped. What a beautiful song 🎵
By the time this song ends you didn't realize of those nearly 9 minutes that the song lasts. That's what I call magic. Definitely it's one of the masterpieces of the past decade.
This guy has my guitar! I sold this guitar to a music store in SE Portland Oregon way back in 2008! With my 2 other brothers who were in a band together, since My 2 brothers have passed away, so I'm so happy to see this guitar again, makes me happy and sad, but me and my brothers loved that guitar. Amazing to see it living on a new life!🙏❤️
Reminds me of being in the car, as a kid, in the late 90s, early 2000s. In the rain. Driving from Toronto to Montreal, to visit extended family. Dad at the wheel, Mom reading a book. Man do I miss those days. Never knew things would ever get so hard. Thought the jubilation and shear joy of life, family, friends... it was all just a given. I dream about it in my sleep, still. And then I wake up, and try to find a way to make that my life again... not back, but forward. It won't ever be the same. But it might just do.
Introduced my dad to this incredible band a few years ago, he loved folk rock and great song writing of the 60s and 70s, he fell in love with TWOD. I'm thankful this music has added to my memories with my dad, lost him May of 23. I'm riding the sound wave to the end old man, see you when I get there.
@travisjohnson62 nostalgic soothings were all clinging on ... Waking up from a nightmare was always a relief,, nowadays I'm not so sure. But these toons are tonic for the soul.... Don Henley 😂
I lost my sister as well 8 years ago. My life was/is forever altered. I'll miss my sister until the day I die, cuz it was supposed to be us two in the end when everyone else was gone:-(
go Mate.I'm not surprised that the English people would love this song it has the heart that English people would warm up to.Go England and USA.Peace.Bro.
I listened to it probably 20 times in a row, then learned it on guitar, saw them do it live in Portland (to perfection) and was blown away. Charlie and Dave were in fine form heck, they all were. Hung out with them after the gig, and they are a fine bunch of fellows! Fortunate to have had that experience. Go see them live, you will not be disappointed!
Here in Nov 2024. This time, tears. When I found this song, I was under pressure in bad times. Now I'm back, and the tears are happy tears because it is good times where I am now. The Only Way Forward is a *principle centered life.* It almost always works out if all your decisions are made based on sound, time- honored principles. Not on the zeitgeist, not on culture, not on fads, and certainly not on anything that women say or do.
I run marathons. This is one of my favorite songs to listen to while out running. From the steady beat at the start of it, to the more raw feel of the final chorus, to the dreamy state for minutes at the end. This song is gorgeous, at least to me.
I'm a ups driver and heard this song for for first time 2 years ago while I delivering packages during peak season (December) it touched my soul and I've followed this band since
That's so funny. I drive semI trucks for UPS. I first heard this song about 2 years ago driving through the Irish countryside at sunrise. It blew me away. One of my favourite driving tunes ever 🎉🎉🎉
This song really is an absolute great way for me to get my brain to unwind and slow down ... What a great song in general i could hit repeat over and over
I remember cycling to work at sunrise across the Cardiff Bay Barrage. The sky was shot pink, I had the whole run to myself and this hit me like a tidal wave in a random Spotify playlist. Never forgot that moment. This song lives in my head forever
This brilliant track is literally aural peyote. It's riveting, soul stirring. They didnt just catch a wave with this one, they became the wave. Well done guys. It conjures up so much energy and emotion and takes you on a journey that you never want to end. What a ride.
This is a road trip song, a song you play when you leave your life behind, and drive to pastures unknown, onward to the next phase of your life EDIT: 1.4K Likes!! Thank you guys, I’ve looked at your messages and I hope you’re all in a good place and if you’re not, then the good times WILL come, hang on and enjoy this ride called life, we’re in this together. Bless you all ❤️❤️⭐️⭐️
I too first heard it on a flight I was on to Aruba it was on the planes music channel ,I had to do a google to find who the band was, I liked it ,got it saved 👍
Love the hypnotic piano riff and high hat combined with the dreamy guitar and vocals. I'm 62 and just discovered these guys. Joy Division, Neil Young, Roxy Music, Thelonius Monk, Echo and the Bunnymen ... Now thsee dudes join my favorite group of magicians.
Heartland rock is phenomenal. And all those bands you mention, while a different genre, are all terrific as well! But this...this is....this is....nuff said...
Dear The War on Drugs, i'm from Mexico and this song it's my favorite the all life, i ear when i feel sad, happy or pensative, i discovered it since 2018 and until today it's still my favorite, you are very talented, guys, i hope ear this song in live some day.
Found this band by accident on RUclips (like many people I guess) and started listening to the various tracks on here. Being nearly 70, I obviously don't take to a lot of the computerised music that is created these days. That's ok though, it is just how the world evolves. However, this band seem to have that X factor for me. Very original and not just going with the trends. If they have a story to tell, they tell it. Well crafted, well played and just going about their business. Having seen many of the legends live back in the 79s and 80s - Deep Purple, Status Quo, Frank Zappa, Santana, Supertramp et al - it was a pleasure to discover these guys and restore my faith in original music. Hope they keep it up for a while yet. I will be listening.
Hello, Clerk. A few years ago, I too, came across this band; trawling the Internet for a "guitar" band. So glad that I did. It combined two things that I wanted: to see the film, Pan's Labyrinth and the aforementioned guitar heavy band. The film was recommended by a Polish friend and the two seemed to connect for myself, mostly due to the artistic brilliance and weirdly they both have a cicada element to them ( in the film there is an insect and the intro to this song has a similar motif. Thought it was meant to be... Keep on exploring. It sounds as if you have many amazing memories, as do I and the main thing is to keep making them so they have a reference point and keep them all in perfect clarity. Kind Regards, J W
I'm an old dude, and for decades, my favorite albums were from the 70s and 80s. If you told me back in 2017, that my favorite album ever, was coming out that year, i would have said no way. A deeper understanding moves me in ways i cant describe. Their newer album is pretty damn close too
It is an amazing album. I know their next album won the Grammy, but I really think it was to make up for not awarding "best album" to Lost in the Dream.
Jan 3rd ... Time to relive after what i lost , its what my dad always said , " just live alex , dont let what im going through , just push kiddo " 🖤💯 1 year later and i miss ya pops sorry my dad was an amzing comic artist and i thin he is left unoticed , so much passion from that man 💯
I'm sorry though it probably isn't much from a stranger online. My Father passed as well about 24 years ago. It is strange hard to cope with at first that was for sure. But hold on dearly to those memories you shared remember always your love for them. A comic artist you say that's awesome man take care and may Peace Love and Happiness be upon you and yours 💚
i heard this song about 9999 times and never realized that its for 9 fkng minutes! thats so long and didnt noticed, that really means that is such music good. (And im high as fuck)
My brother introduced me to this masterpiece just before we fell out. We are both so stubborn we still aren’t talking but listening to this makes me want to ring him and put my ego to one side.
yo ring your brother a hole `LIFE is short man `i crashed my car a week ago and im still here saw your coment had to tell you to sort your shit out `im not gonna let small shit fuck with my head anymore` ive never been happy with my life but im thinking hard about shit now `from NZ
I've only just discovered this phenomenal band. It's like finding a priceless hidden treasure! I fell in love with 'Under The Pressure' within seconds of hearing it. What a tuuuuune!!! ❤
My new favorite song :) Listening to this at work helps me get in a zone, concentrate and jam out, all at the same time. And yes, here's to happiness and love! Let's all be kind to one another and remember that we all see life from a different perspective; give each other a break. Here's to love and kindness and jamming out to awesome music :)
I wish I could listen to music at work. I seriously hate my job not because of the work but because it gives me no stimulation. It’s the same thing for 8 hours and I want out.
Idk about listening to this at work - I'm just doing so and I can't help "drumming" with my feet and I can't focus on work, I'm paying too much attention to the music. :D But if it works for you, that's great! Great song, or band.
@@MnemonicHeadTrip Wow, seeing your subscriptions is like seeing my own. :D And man, that's unfortunate. Have you thought about doing something in IT? Considering your interests, that might be something fitting, and you can probably listen to music at work then.^^
Ha. You just reminded me; need to listen to this right now. I can't focus on work either. Work shmerk. We can jam out together from afar. Short day, long weekend, woo hoo! Happy 4th!! 🎆
I saw this band last Saturday supporting the Stones in Hyde Park! I didn’t really know anything about them! I thought they were awesome! Truly beautiful, haunting, uplifting music!!!
One of the greatest songs ever written. At a time where music is made for the masses, written by old men, sung by actors, The war on drugs is an absolute diamond in the rough.
There's a limitless wealth of amazing music these days, you just have to dig a little deeper. The "music that is made for the masses" probably represents like 10% of current music, it's just in our face so much that we think it's all there is.
how come the "music for the masses" in the previous decades was amazing and the somewhat obscure was amazing too. This generation sucks with music. You have to admit that the only way to be popular today is to be good looking. Talent is secondary.
Damn this youtube should have the live chat sessions with comments section separately....I spend late night listening to these songs reading decades old comments don't even know if people are dead or alive who hold artistic view of life and music after all they ended like people before. Youtubr give us chance to talk our miseries and heart out.
Think I was searching for queen about a year ago "Under Pressure" so there's me intoxicated and depressed once again, think I clicked on this by accident. Listened to it all the way through, and then again, and again and again, started looking up there music. Found a comment on here about how it stopped a guys depression and stopped him wanting to give up. Never looked back from there on in. On hearing this in that very moment! My life just changed. I cried my eyes out realised changes needed to be made and cracked on with it. The War On Drugs what a band! Helped me massively reading that guys comment that night after hearing this. He said he heard it got into the band and all there music and it helped him and Boy it really helped me if they ever play in the UK I will be there.
And out of pure accident I looked away from my screen while scrolling, looked back and set eyes on this comment... Love it!!!" maybe we might walk past each other at that gig and never know it... and more important, the person who was born again might even be there!
They're touring Europe in 2022. Hope you make it there. Also, check out their new song called 'I dont live here anymore' which they just released today. Oh and the new album comes out this October!
Never forget the first time I heard this. My Dad found it and just told me to listen to the whole song while we watched the sun rise in the mountains in Breckenridge 4 years ago. One of the best 8 minute intervals of my life.
Heard it once before before going on stage with a local band I used to play with (I was the drummer). Had this blasting yesterday also in Dublin before going to see kings of Leon. To my surprise they were actually on the bill and they did not disappoint. If you can see this band live, do it.
There is an inherent beauty to psychedelic music, helping find colors, shapes, and angles in the world that might be so readily apparent in an everyday setting. Great song.
This is just straight up rock and roll music, it's even pretty simple and uses a very familiar song structure. It just happens to be nice and sounds good and has a good feel to it. Great song , but nothing even close to 'psychedelic' - people are so easily moved by colors and video
Still my favorite to start a workout. Plus remember the good days ofu life. With great friends and family and those I loved or love to this day..thank you all for your service to your country or just your way of living each day of your life...time to start looking forward to a new year and many new beginnings for so many. They say look in past to much you might get more educated by the mega seconds. Beat my dad thought that when he put that first dial up phone in Arkansas 63 agossss. Glad blessed I had honors to walk somewhat in his big boots..
I was doing a job at a guys house in Walthamstow a couple of years back and talking about music, he told me about these guys Listened to them since. One of the things I love about meeting new people is things we have in common and sharing information on those things.
this songs makes mdma do much better. Now I'm discovering The dephts of my spirit, mind and soul and reading morrison poems. Dont forget who you really are, nad what your feelings and dreams really are. Every single person who read it: you have amazing soul, dont waste it, and dont let them destroy it. stay tuned and strong❤💚
You know, every now and a band comes along that leaves me speechless,I say to myself how is it that I have not heard of these guys? your music is so good so beautiful and poignant, sending me straight into self reflection in a dreamy state filling me with bittersweet nostalgia and inner peace! you guys are fantastic!!!!

...is like a beautiful birthday present from God Himself. ✌
@@Ste63Gracego listen to “Strangest Thing”
Now…get high on H and listen to this. Nothing like it.
an anthem of our time,i surpose
Best band in the world.
The best of Philadelphia.Proud to say.!!11
Small world, then
Love it
😂No!
10 years later, and this song is still in my rotation. I never get tired of this song at all, mixing so much styles of rock music with intense emotion. The War on Drugs is criminally underrated.
Never ever 5:29
one of the songs that always goes on when taking a road trip.
The performance at Glastonbury 2023 was outstanding, even some of the camera shots at sunset were memorable.
100%
Another masterpiece. These piercing tunes take you on the journey through time
Good stuff no doubt.
This is criminally underrated. This group is amazing

They play arenas and have a Grammy. But I love them anyway. Ha! Great band. I actually got into Kurt Vile first, then learned he played on TWOD's first album. I love this band.
They're underrated because like Led Zeppelin. In the 70s, they make 8 minute songs. Who else does that???
Not underated... HIDDEN 😊
Ucking Right.Philadelphia Cool.
I am 78 and I found them 10 years ago. What a band is right.
yes.
Yeah I’m 57 - same for me. Love them so much ❤
About 10 years ago for me, and I’m 71.
The first time I heard this song I was driving through Joshua Tree National Park, CA and my entire life changed for the better
Just got goosebumps reading that!
you are confused, there is bo such tree here
Beautiful song for my car. Driving looking sunrise)
Music is literally the only glue that holds me together in this world.
I agree with you entirely. It's the same for me, a life-line and life insurance. Take care. ♥️
This
definitely.
ditto
I wouldn’t be here without it x20 at least
January 1, 2025....good luck out there folks....you're gonna need it.
This is the anthem of starting over, leaving a painful past behind
I’ve done it. It was the biggest journey I ever undertook. Must’ve lasted 6-7 years. But once it was done… Took another 6-7 to get to the point where I’m totally at peace with the past. But it’s a constant process.
When you feel like you connect with no one in this world... connect with music.
Wow, that's deep Madam!
hold on to this sound you are on the right track
Anyone who loves this song is officially my tribe. Haunting, beautiful.
Well the music is your only friend, until the End ( Jim Morrison)i Wish you all the best ❣️
On a building site in Hammersmith London today.
Heard this coming out of someone's jbl speaker they'd set down.
I just stopped and listened.
Asked who's it was, and what this song was.
Guy found me the track.
Here i am 7 years since this dropped.
What a beautiful song 🎵
It's like a long calm cool journey
You don't find it, it finds you
By the time this song ends you didn't realize of those nearly 9 minutes that the song lasts. That's what I call magic. Definitely it's one of the masterpieces of the past decade.
You are right, I didn't realise it had been that long. I have a new band to listen to
@@theradioattheendoftheworld4251 YEAH MAN, THEY ARE GREAT
This shit is glorious.
I've listened to this song dozens of times and I had no idea it was this long!
The reverb, echo and fade are just haunting.

These guys are the Dire Straits of the 21st century and this is their Sultans of Swing.
LOL I always thought "If Don Henley was born an older millennial"
@travisjohnson62 nostalgic soothings were all clinging on ...
Waking up from a nightmare was always a relief,, nowadays I'm not so sure.
But these toons are tonic for the soul.... Don Henley 😂
Except this is an excellent band and this is an excellent song. Otherwise ... sure.
@@dashx1103 Imagine trying to argue that Sultans of Swing is not a good song
@@system2213 I didn’t say “not good.” It just doesn’t compare to Under the Pressure. Sultans of Swing is a perfectly fine little pop song.
My sister 's favorite song, i send you it to heaven my sister and soulmate...miss you
Hugs lovely... x
Lovely thought...consider the gift received....;) *hug*

I lost my sister as well 8 years ago. My life was/is forever altered. I'll miss my sister until the day I die, cuz it was supposed to be us two in the end when everyone else was gone:-(
I had the pleasure of seeing them on Friday night at The Royal Albert Hall. Seeing this song performed live is like a spiritual experience.
😊😊😊😊😊
yup!! saw a live clip, from a few yrs back, it was unreal!! they just kept jamming, kept going and the crowd was awesome!!!
go Mate.I'm not surprised that the English people would love this song
it has the heart that English people would warm up to.Go England and USA.Peace.Bro.
this song and the human spirit go great together

Am I the only one that played this song 15 times in a row?
Nope 🙂

This music floats like a silk cloth over the hustle and bustle of a big city. Finding its climax in the setting sun behind the skyscrapers. Epic.
I am 70 yrs old. Driving to this song is amazing
it,s a beaut
...this and "Holding On"...both great driving songs.
The timing, the clarity, the movement of this song. Damn stunning.
I was speeding home on an empty highway late at night when I first heard this song on the radio. It was magical.
it's a great road trip album !
I couldn’t imagine a better moment
I was driving to work in the dark of an early morning when I first heard "Pain."
You're right about it being magic.
I too first heard it on a flight I was on to Aruba it was on the planes music channel ,I had to do a google to find who the band was, I liked it ,got it saved 👍

It is an amazing album. I know their next album won the Grammy, but I really think it was to make up for not awarding "best album" to Lost in the Dream.
Don Henley, The Police, and The Cure walk into a bar…
With Mike Scott if the Waterboys singing
Wit a fuckin band , life in music ❤
You forgot a few
And Neu! to drive it along

It's hard to find words to describe how warm, beautiful and hypnotic this song is. I'm so glad I found this.
me too
Jan 3rd ... Time to relive after what i lost , its what my dad always said , " just live alex , dont let what im going through , just push kiddo " 🖤💯 1 year later and i miss ya pops sorry my dad was an amzing comic artist and i thin he is left unoticed , so much passion from that man 💯
I'm sorry though it probably isn't much from a stranger online. My Father passed as well about 24 years ago. It is strange hard to cope with at first that was for sure. But hold on dearly to those memories you shared remember always your love for them. A comic artist you say that's awesome man take care and may Peace Love and Happiness be upon you and yours 💚
Sometimes RUclips actually recommends something I haven't heard before and now like. This is a great tune.
Few are the songs I fall in love with ‘first listen’. Thanks a bunch to The War on Drugs. ‘Awesome! 👍🏻
The song that can make me stop having a bad day for nine minutes.
i heard this song about 9999 times and never realized that its for 9 fkng minutes! thats so long and didnt noticed, that really means that is such music good. (And im high as fuck)
or having a bad life
Te reconcilia con el mundo
For me 8 minutes and 57 seconds....
Underrated comment.
Stumbled across this song and fel in love with the war on drugs
My brother introduced me to this masterpiece just before we fell out. We are both so stubborn we still aren’t talking but listening to this makes me want to ring him and put my ego to one side.
yo ring your brother a hole `LIFE is short man `i crashed my car a week ago and im still here saw your coment had to tell you to sort your shit out `im not gonna let small shit fuck with my head anymore` ive never been happy with my life but im thinking hard about shit now `from NZ
You know I think I should get ahold of my brother myself I hope all is well with you Peace Love and Happiness 💜🌻💚
I spoke to him a week ago and managed to get it all out on the table and now feel like our relationship is stronger than it was before. ✌️❤
This was playing on the radio when I found out my father past. It will always be with me.
I've only just discovered this phenomenal band. It's like finding a priceless hidden treasure! I fell in love with 'Under The Pressure' within seconds of hearing it. What a tuuuuune!!! ❤
Very fine music, fine video... Peace and love out there.
We need to survive the 2nd t-rump travesty.
My new favorite song :) Listening to this at work helps me get in a zone, concentrate and jam out, all at the same time. And yes, here's to happiness and love! Let's all be kind to one another and remember that we all see life from a different perspective; give each other a break. Here's to love and kindness and jamming out to awesome music :)
Que tal
I wish I could listen to music at work. I seriously hate my job not because of the work but because it gives me no stimulation. It’s the same thing for 8 hours and I want out.
Idk about listening to this at work - I'm just doing so and I can't help "drumming" with my feet and I can't focus on work, I'm paying too much attention to the music. :D
But if it works for you, that's great! Great song, or band.
@@MnemonicHeadTrip Wow, seeing your subscriptions is like seeing my own. :D
And man, that's unfortunate. Have you thought about doing something in IT? Considering your interests, that might be something fitting, and you can probably listen to music at work then.^^
Ha. You just reminded me; need to listen to this right now. I can't focus on work either. Work shmerk. We can jam out together from afar. Short day, long weekend, woo hoo! Happy 4th!! 🎆
I saw this band last Saturday supporting the Stones in Hyde Park!
I didn’t really know anything about them!
I thought they were awesome!
Truly beautiful, haunting, uplifting music!!!
This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE TRACK....EVER!!!!
Remember the local indie radio station played this years ago been in love with them since
One of the best opening tracks on an album ever.
And one of the best albums ever.
This song is ridiculously addictive
Jajaja. Exacto. Llevo semanas escuchandola. No puedo parar
I sob to this over and over. It’s the greatest feeling ever…I’ll never stop.
INCONMENSURABLE, EXCELENTE, PERFECTO, SON UNOS CAPOS. SU CANCIÓN MARCÓ UNA ETAPA DE MI VIDA, GRACIAS.
What a fantastic song. I keep reading from older folks like myself that where is the good music of the past. Right here in front of your ears.
I feel like I need to share this album with every person I know
i know what you mean
Ohhhh you and both Anthony, I want to be their spokesperson and share the bliss...
Kyle G how about the three of us join forces and spread the word?
lol, same here, it's a beauty
I don't know if going and tell my friends or keep being selfish listening to this just for myself
One of the greatest songs ever written. At a time where music is made for the masses, written by old men, sung by actors, The war on drugs is an absolute diamond in the rough.
There's a limitless wealth of amazing music these days, you just have to dig a little deeper. The "music that is made for the masses" probably represents like 10% of current music, it's just in our face so much that we think it's all there is.
Yes this band is amazing! I saw them last year and must say it's one of the best concerts i've ever been to.
I'd say they're pretty polished actually, cool band anyways:)
Music for the masses must be resisted. Stay strong. They can't break us.
how come the "music for the masses" in the previous decades was amazing and the somewhat obscure was amazing too. This generation sucks with music. You have to admit that the only way to be popular today is to be good looking. Talent is secondary.
Damn this youtube should have the live chat sessions with comments section separately....I spend late night listening to these songs reading decades old comments don't even know if people are dead or alive who hold artistic view of life and music after all they ended like people before. Youtubr give us chance to talk our miseries and heart out.
Those opening notes, there's just so much in them. Depression, uncertainty, doubt, dread, fear, regret, and quiet desperation.
See it or Flick it. I hear you man, that is spot on. Amazing lyrics, instantly grabs you.
Think I was searching for queen about a year ago "Under Pressure" so there's me intoxicated and depressed once again, think I clicked on this by accident. Listened to it all the way through, and then again, and again and again, started looking up there music. Found a comment on here about how it stopped a guys depression and stopped him wanting to give up. Never looked back from there on in. On hearing this in that very moment! My life just changed. I cried my eyes out realised changes needed to be made and cracked on with it. The War On Drugs what a band! Helped me massively reading that guys comment that night after hearing this. He said he heard it got into the band and all there music and it helped him and Boy it really helped me if they ever play in the UK I will be there.
And out of pure accident I looked away from my screen while scrolling, looked back and set eyes on this comment... Love it!!!" maybe we might walk past each other at that gig and never know it... and more important, the person who was born again might even be there!
@@markdigital9350 Thanks that means a lot
Tickets to their 2022 tour go on sale soon, theres a few UK dates in there :)
This song gave you a rebirth
They're touring Europe in 2022. Hope you make it there. Also, check out their new song called 'I dont live here anymore' which they just released today. Oh and the new album comes out this October!
The greatest band of our generation. The War On Drugs.
Well, what I love most about this band is.....🤔 EVERYTHING!!! ❤
Never forget the first time I heard this. My Dad found it and just told me to listen to the whole song while we watched the sun rise in the mountains in Breckenridge 4 years ago. One of the best 8 minute intervals of my life.
you likely will never forget that moment. it's called GREAT music!! stay safe out here in 2020...
Is that brackenridge Queensland
Great Band....... I'm new to them the past 12months.....promote... promote... promote..👌
Love you folk that get it , peace!
Heard it once before before going on stage with a local band I used to play with (I was the drummer). Had this blasting yesterday also in Dublin before going to see kings of Leon. To my surprise they were actually on the bill and they did not disappoint. If you can see this band live, do it.
It's Friday today and I can't stop hitting the replay button.
It's Monday and I can't stop hitting the replay button.
@@paredescax its friday today and its still the same as last week
It's Friday 3 weeks later and I can't either, Carlos 😎
Me too England
I'm so obsessed with this song. it's one of those songs where you relax on your bed and just stare into nothing, thinking about everything
Our 23 year old son introduced us to you guys! Wow! He's seen you live at the O2 wish I could have seen you!!
I love it when i'm driving at night and this song comes on the radio it gives me chills everytime
Francisco Jumpstyle
***** He probably means his iPod or something
***** Sirius, bro. I hear it quite frequently myself... and yes, it's awesome at night
Yeah bro, cruising to this at night is a chill ride on cosmic vibes. Coasting on the flow...
Ultraviolet391 Me too, man. That was how I discovered the song actually.
Michael you’re nearly 2 I’ve played this song every day to you. Enjoy it when you’re 5/10/15/18 I love you very much. It’s a moment in time my boy x
There is an inherent beauty to psychedelic music, helping find colors, shapes, and angles in the world that might be so readily apparent in an everyday setting. Great song.
This isn't psychedelic.
Whitewoods - beachwalk
@@UnitSe7en slippery slope :P
Yeah not psychedelic. Seems kinda old school New Wave to me.
This is just straight up rock and roll music, it's even pretty simple and uses a very familiar song structure.
It just happens to be nice and sounds good and has a good feel to it. Great song , but nothing even close to 'psychedelic' - people are so easily moved by colors and video
This def my fav song by them…it’s next level
one of the most beautiful songs ever
Listen to Roxy Music and you'll be amazed how this song is just a COPY of the original.
@@sK3LeTvM1 different style
@@sK3LeTvM1 I like Roxy music, but ... just, no.
This is the kind of músic that the world need.
I swear I feel like I've been transported back to early 80's England, and i'm loving every minute. This is divine.
Early 80’s was rubbish in England! The only good thing was the music, New Order, Bunnymen etc. Apart from that, you didn’t miss anything!
@@lucasm3879Well I actually specifically meant the music
@@ladycplum
Yeah a lot of good bands around then. The rest of it was pretty grim. Thatcher, Falklands, three TV channels...
Still my favorite to start a workout. Plus remember the good days ofu life.
With great friends and family and those I loved or love to this day..thank you all for your service to your country or just your way of living each day of your life...time to start looking forward to a new year and many new beginnings for so many. They say look in past to much you might get more educated by the mega seconds.
Beat my dad thought that when he put that first dial up phone in Arkansas 63 agossss.
Glad blessed I had honors to walk somewhat in his big boots..
Thought I'd just check in see if people are still listening to this track?
Still am, all thanks for Bojack Horseman. Also the dude above you don't keep drinking and speed driving
NO !, Just reading comments 😁
Forever and always.
uh... hell yes.
Yup....*S*
I always listen to WOD on my bus ride up to Boulder every morning. The vibes are real
I was doing a job at a guys house in Walthamstow a couple of years back and talking about music, he told me about these guys Listened to them since. One of the things I love about meeting new people is things we have in common and sharing information on those things.
I'm 50 years old, and just found this gem of a tune.
Me too
i have to say this : That was so beautiful. I thank you from every part of my being for that music and video .
My aunts dementia Is getting progressively worse along with other family members health. This song has been a comforting piece lately. Thank you.
Hope she is better now:)
Same, with the passing of my cousin this song brings me comfort and replays the memories of him and the beautiful life he lived.
@@bargurl123 This song has only gotten more relevant as time has gone on, it is truly crazy.
Probably the most played song ever for me. Music for my soul and I can't get enough 🥰
Never heard these before but im hooked😊❤👌🇬🇧🇬🇧
I think this song is a masterpiece… hypnotic … beautiful🎶🥁✨🎸
this songs makes mdma do much better. Now I'm discovering The dephts of my spirit, mind and soul and reading morrison poems. Dont forget who you really are, nad what your feelings and dreams really are. Every single person who read it: you have amazing soul, dont waste it, and dont let them destroy it. stay tuned and strong❤💚
You know, every now and a band comes along that leaves me speechless,I say to myself how is it that I have not heard of these guys? your music is so good so beautiful and poignant, sending me straight into self reflection in a dreamy state filling me with bittersweet nostalgia and inner peace! you guys are fantastic!!!!
I'm here and everywhere they are after catching them for the first time on Austin City Limits on PBS last night- WOW
Made the trip up to North California and this played while driving under giant Sequoia trees. Forever going to remember that moment
Like they said in yesteryears FAR OUT!!!!
