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.
[Verse 1] Well, the comedown here was easy Like the arrival of a new day But a dream like this gets wasted Without you [Chorus] Under the pressure Is where we are Under the pressure Yeah, it's where we are, babe [Post-Chorus] Oh, you're the only one Like an illusion [Verse 2] When it all breaks down and we're runaways Standin' in the wake of our pain And we stare straight into nothin' But we call it all the same You were raised on a promise Found that over time Better come around to the new way Or watch as it all breaks down here [Chorus] Under the pressure [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Well, the break down here Stole it all the way across I wanna climb downhill Stranded on When you come here and I'm wasted Lyin' on a field, dancin' in the rain Hidin' in the back, loosenin' my grip Wadin' in the water, just tryin' not to crack [Chorus] Under the pressure Yeah, it's where we are, babe Under the pressure Woo!
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.
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.
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.
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 🎵
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.
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.
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!🙏❤️
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
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...
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.
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’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.
I have played bass professionally for many, many years. The singer gets the credit, the guitar gets the glory, but the bass drives the band. The bass player in this band is incredible. If you take out the bass in this band, you won't recognize what you are listening to. So good. Even in the mix the bass is LOUD......wonder why..........
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!!! ❤
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 👍
Damn... thank you Netflix for giving Bojack Horseman the opportunity to be one of the best (if not the best) series i've ever watched... it earned that title because of the feeling you get after watching every single episode and season plus having such an awesome soundtrack for those moments when you're just wondering if you're not a "Bojack" yourself...
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.
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!
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:-(
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.
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!!!
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!!!!
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 ❤️❤️⭐️⭐️
Lying on my back Loosening my grip Wading in the water Just trying not to crack UNDER THE PRESSURE! WOOO! That crescendo hits me with a range of feelings every single time. Beautiful song.
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
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
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
The first time I heard this was at the gym I was working at in the winter 2014, shortly after a bad breakup. The outro caught my attention, so I quickly asked google what track it was and downloaded it. One of the most beautiful discoveries I made, especially considering the rough depression I was experiencing. I soon saw this video one morning on TV before going to work. This song always made me feel so good, almost like it reminded me everything was gonna get better. It really took my mind of self destructive behaviors and suicidal thoughts. It motivated me to do better for myself because I deserved it. Years later (2018) I found out that this whole album was one absolute masterpiece. I'm actually sad I missed out on the other songs during 2014-2015, the healing process would have been better. Cheers to The War On Drugs.
Helped me during my depression too. Heck I even had the album cover art as my whatsapp dp for months. That image picturized exactly how I felt. Definitely one of the best albums and band I've heard till date.
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.
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 just saw your concert in Lisbon, and it was the best one ever!!! I sang, screamed, danced, and had goosebumps...your songs give so many emotions... 1 hour is not enough! We want more! Please come back SOON! I want to hear more, specially Holding On. Xoxo
@@ruimartins2065 pra mim são a banda do momento. Aqui em casa estamos viciados 🤗 têm músicas para todos os momentos. Ouça as outras, vai ficar surpreendido pela positiva 😊
This is the first song I heard from TWOD a few years ago. Saw them in concert last night. Wow what a show it was. Blew me away! They give 200% to every song they performed!!!
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.
Went through psychosis a couple years back for about 6 months and stopped being able to enjoy the music I loved so dearly due to it. I went to rehab and these guys brought me back to my love in music again. I found them prior but they were the ones that sparked that joy in music and the catalyst for me to come back to life again. Forever grateful it’s not a lot of times music can move me to tears but they are able too for some reason.
A song which fits perfectly at night, or... One of those nights where the sky is clear and you can see all the stars and the moon. Fits great when staring at the stars and vibing/relaxing at the same time. Love it.
I used to listen to the radio on my cellphone coming back from university, at a very hard time in my life, bearing up with the burdens of self acceptance. One day looking at dusk riding on the bus they played this song and it was utter bliss for me that I didn't bother to know the artist nor the name. Days went by and I couldn't stop thinking about this track, I used to tune into the radio at the same time, staring at the sunset, almost everyday for a month, until one day it came back to me. Made me realize of my perseverance, my nerve to find something that it was missing for me. Now I've come far ways from the place I was, I love and accept myself more and more everyday.
I can't believe it's already been a decade since Lost In The Dream was released. This is one of those perfect from start to finish albums. Truly incredible.
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 🎉🎉🎉
Bojack makes me choke up several times each season, with the dialogues and the monologues and their choice of music that is so on point it makes me question my life. Goddamn this song is amazing..
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!
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
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)
I have been really digging this song lately, it is really helping me with our family's losses and illness going on for strength. The chords and Adam's voice are so uplifting and high frequency, "War on Drugs" always managed to chill me out and their sound is like no other and I cherish them for their vibe, and one of the few bands being "true" to themselves, not all flashy-grounded..or reminds me of my first time working with a blow torch with an old boyfriend satering metal for a 1930s Hudson we were restoring with the visuals of this epicly shot video...I remember the flecks of embers in the air burning me, teaching me to learn patience, and work mindfully.
I started listening to this song and this band when I used to visit my dying father whilst trying to keep my family together and on top of the job from hell, some three years ago. This song is like an old and steadfast friend to me, that just understands without me having to say too much. There are some things in life than can only be expressed through music.
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❤💚
I discovered this group a little after I fell in love with the person who would become my husband. It was a long-distance relationship at first, before we had the money to move in together. On long and lonely drives in the country this music kept me company. Now we listen to this together in front of the fire on cold Colorado nights like tonight and enjoy it. Thanks for making this.
This band are fantastic, the singer reminds me a bit of mike Scott from the water boys, love how there songs build and how they use the piano, guitar, sax and drums - very special music
This song is seriously so wonderful to fall asleep to. I was listening to it with my headphones on the other day while in bed and I drifted in and out of sleep and the song was a fantastic companion. Felt so relaxed and carefree.
Spring 2020 and I had just moved to a resort town in thw mountains of Colorado. My job was great, I had my own place and enjoying my new life. Then Covid hit. Being I lived on the mountain and in a neighborhood of vacation rentals I was isolated and alone. All the tourists went home and suddenly I was by myself and had no idea how Covid was going to turn out. I was stuck in my house, couldn't go to work, and surrounded by silencew that was unnerving to say the least. I was just surfing around RUclips when I stumbled across TWOD. One song was all it took and I was hooked!! I listened to every song of theirs I could find...over and over again. Along with Future Islands and Manchester Orchestra I found solace in this music to make it through each day. Music is the ultimate cure. I finally got to see them when they came to Kansas City and listening to them live was one of the best experiences I have had.
@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 😂
erse 1] Well the comedown here was easy Like the arrival of a new day But a dream like this gets wasted Without you [Chorus x2] Under the pressure is where we are [Bridge] You're the only one Like an illusion [Verse 2] When it all breaks down and we're runaways Standing in the wake of our pain And we stare straight into nothing But we call it all the same You were raised on a promise Found that over time Better come around to the new way Or watch as it all breaks down here [Chorus] [Verse 3] Well the break down Stole it all the way across Stranded on When you come here and I'm wasted Lying on a hill, dancin' in the rain Hidin in the back, loosening my grip I'm just wading in the water Just trying not to crack, under the pressure
a couple of years ago i was in a mall looking for clothes and this song started to play in the store, i was heavy into twod back then and without even noticing started to sing along while walking aroung the clothing rows, then i noticed people looking at me vibing with this awesome song and smiling, some even started vibing along, it was surreal but i loved that moment, never happened something like that to me before

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%
[Verse 1]
Well, the comedown here was easy
Like the arrival of a new day
But a dream like this gets wasted
Without you
[Chorus]
Under the pressure
Is where we are
Under the pressure
Yeah, it's where we are, babe
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, you're the only one
Like an illusion
[Verse 2]
When it all breaks down and we're runaways
Standin' in the wake of our pain
And we stare straight into nothin'
But we call it all the same
You were raised on a promise
Found that over time
Better come around to the new way
Or watch as it all breaks down here
[Chorus]
Under the pressure
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Well, the break down here
Stole it all the way across
I wanna climb downhill
Stranded on
When you come here and I'm wasted
Lyin' on a field, dancin' in the rain
Hidin' in the back, loosenin' my grip
Wadin' in the water, just tryin' not to crack
[Chorus]
Under the pressure
Yeah, it's where we are, babe
Under the pressure
Woo!
♥️👏🏻
Thanks for that
love it when somebody puts up the words ..peace out from Australia

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 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!!!

it has the heart that English people would warm up to.Go England and USA.Peace.Bro.
Another masterpiece. These piercing tunes take you on the journey through time
Good stuff no doubt.

Stumbled accidentally onto this band and GLAD I did,pure and simply greatness.
This was on my marathon soundtrack. Just cracked 3 hours at age 46 this past November! 2nd best time ever to my 2005 PR. Great soundtrack music!
Absolutely
I am 78 and I found them 10 years ago. What a band is right.

Felt that.
I feel the same. 42 and resetting it all. Feel positive friend
Damn, that hit home for me. Although I'm from a different continent, I have similar memories.

Hang on my friend. You'll overcome it, there is no doubt.

Keep fighting brother, there will be better days ahead
Yep! Saving my life too!

Keep the Faith, don't let The Pressure get you... 🏴👍
I have played bass professionally for many, many years. The singer gets the credit, the guitar gets the glory, but the bass drives the band. The bass player in this band is incredible. If you take out the bass in this band, you won't recognize what you are listening to. So good. Even in the mix the bass is LOUD......wonder why..........
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 ❣️
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!!! ❤
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 👍
I can feel it exactly
Few are the songs I fall in love with ‘first listen’. Thanks a bunch to The War on Drugs. ‘Awesome! 👍🏻
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
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.
Damn... thank you Netflix for giving Bojack Horseman the opportunity to be one of the best (if not the best) series i've ever watched... it earned that title because of the feeling you get after watching every single episode and season plus having such an awesome soundtrack for those moments when you're just wondering if you're not a "Bojack" yourself...
I’ve seen Bojack Horseman in its entirety but don’t remember this song being used… What scene was it used in?
@@ozundone7805 When Diane is driving back from dropping Bojack at rehab during the season 5 finale.
@@ozundone7805 bad dog!
You're not Bojack...
Oh dang I'm a huge fan of Bojack and discovered these guys somewhere else, didn't know this song was used in bojack
This is a perfect album. The writing,playing, arrangements,production, mixing....all of it's just perfect.
Once every 10 years a song like this comes along
Yes sir.auesome song.
I'm not even sure if this sone is a good as their song "thinking of a place" that's honestly one of the best songs I've heard in my 35 years
You rule bud
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.
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!
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:-(
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.
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!!!
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
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!!!!
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 just debugged a program after 50 hours no sleeping and I'm so fucking high of dopamine right now.
@@ajandmardalizad5981 hahahahahaha well done man!
ruclips.net/video/O_i47mIR14w/видео.html
I know what you mean I'm there
My exact thought's every time I hear this song...❤🤘
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.
Lying on my back
Loosening my grip
Wading in the water
Just trying not to crack
UNDER THE PRESSURE!
WOOO!
That crescendo hits me with a range of feelings every single time. Beautiful song.
Une magnifique chanson à écouter en roulant la nuit , des rêves pleins la tête et avec un sentiment de plénitude... Le bonheur quoi !!❤️❤️🌌🌌🌌
C est toi ?
This is one of the best songs of the last 20 years. Art, a sensation for your ears!
Art is long, life is short and this is great art. A masterpiece.
Can’t stop won’t stop listening to this.
I feel you...incredible tune!
Me as well. Tune suits my current situation.
Me just te same
Don’t stop
Hey !; It's Very Obvious....🎸🎶🥁🎶, Why Stop.X
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. ✌️❤
Im here every day to start my day, Thank you TWOD
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.
This song deserves a billion views.
Aye.and then some.
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 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
Sometimes RUclips actually recommends something I haven't heard before and now like. This is a great tune.
Propably the best song of the last two decades.
I couldn't agree with you more
It really is,put this on Your list of Greatest of ever.
It is.
The first time I heard this was at the gym I was working at in the winter 2014, shortly after a bad breakup. The outro caught my attention, so I quickly asked google what track it was and downloaded it. One of the most beautiful discoveries I made, especially considering the rough depression I was experiencing. I soon saw this video one morning on TV before going to work. This song always made me feel so good, almost like it reminded me everything was gonna get better. It really took my mind of self destructive behaviors and suicidal thoughts. It motivated me to do better for myself because I deserved it.
Years later (2018) I found out that this whole album was one absolute masterpiece. I'm actually sad I missed out on the other songs during 2014-2015, the healing process would have been better.
Cheers to The War On Drugs.
Helped me during my depression too. Heck I even had the album cover art as my whatsapp dp for months. That image picturized exactly how I felt.
Definitely one of the best albums and band I've heard till date.
I hope you guys are better now.
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 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.
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 just saw your concert in Lisbon, and it was the best one ever!!! I sang, screamed, danced, and had goosebumps...your songs give so many emotions...
1 hour is not enough! We want more!
Please come back SOON! I want to hear more, specially Holding On. Xoxo
Eu acabei de descobrir esta banda por acaso no RUclips. Percebo-te perfeitamente... Diferente de tudo o que já ouvi. Agradável surpresa..
@@ruimartins2065 pra mim são a banda do momento. Aqui em casa estamos viciados 🤗 têm músicas para todos os momentos. Ouça as outras, vai ficar surpreendido pela positiva 😊
This is the first song I heard from TWOD a few years ago. Saw them in concert last night. Wow what a show it was. Blew me away! They give 200% to every song they performed!!!
the build-up at 4:00 gives me the chills every time.
It's like coming up from a drug; it's just pure ear porn.
❤🤘
Me Too!!
I listen to that part over and over.
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.
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.
Went through psychosis a couple years back for about 6 months and stopped being able to enjoy the music I loved so dearly due to it. I went to rehab and these guys brought me back to my love in music again. I found them prior but they were the ones that sparked that joy in music and the catalyst for me to come back to life again. Forever grateful it’s not a lot of times music can move me to tears but they are able too for some reason.
A song which fits perfectly at night, or... One of those nights where the sky is clear and you can see all the stars and the moon. Fits great when staring at the stars and vibing/relaxing at the same time.
Love it.
I used to listen to the radio on my cellphone coming back from university, at a very hard time in my life, bearing up with the burdens of self acceptance. One day looking at dusk riding on the bus they played this song and it was utter bliss for me that I didn't bother to know the artist nor the name. Days went by and I couldn't stop thinking about this track, I used to tune into the radio at the same time, staring at the sunset, almost everyday for a month, until one day it came back to me. Made me realize of my perseverance, my nerve to find something that it was missing for me. Now I've come far ways from the place I was, I love and accept myself more and more everyday.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful experience , #Jorge Romero.
Have a blessed life ~.🌹.~

Like an Illusion.
Im so happy for you 💗
I just heard this for the first time, and instantly realised it was one of the best songs I ave ever heard.
How often does that happen ?
I can't believe it's already been a decade since Lost In The Dream was released. This is one of those perfect from start to finish albums. Truly incredible.
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
Welcome my son. Nothing better than following Orion at sunset to this song with all extra drive time
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 🎉🎉🎉
Beautiful song for my car. Driving looking sunrise)
Bojack makes me choke up several times each season, with the dialogues and the monologues and their choice of music that is so on point it makes me question my life. Goddamn this song is amazing..
I LOVE BOJACK HORSEMAN.
It's one of my favorite tracks. I've been listening to this for years and still enjoy it, timeless, great song.
Same for me :)
Same
This is the kind of músic that the world need.
Am I the only one that played this song 15 times in a row?
Nope 🙂
no
Yes, 6 times out of
Nope. It's compelling and a bit addictive.
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!
Probably the most played song ever for me. Music for my soul and I can't get enough 🥰
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
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.
I have been really digging this song lately, it is really helping me with our family's losses and illness going on for strength. The chords and Adam's voice are so uplifting and high frequency, "War on Drugs" always managed to chill me out and their sound is like no other and I cherish them for their vibe, and one of the few bands being "true" to themselves, not all flashy-grounded..or reminds me of my first time working with a blow torch with an old boyfriend satering metal for a 1930s Hudson we were restoring with the visuals of this epicly shot video...I remember the flecks of embers in the air burning me, teaching me to learn patience, and work mindfully.
I think you also might like di-rect - through the looking glass
I started listening to this song and this band when I used to visit my dying father whilst trying to keep my family together and on top of the job from hell, some three years ago. This song is like an old and steadfast friend to me, that just understands without me having to say too much. There are some things in life than can only be expressed through music.
This band is so good. The music brings joy, sorrow, nostalgia and 80s vibes all in one.
This was playing on the radio when I found out my father past. It will always be with me.
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❤💚
I discovered this group a little after I fell in love with the person who would become my husband. It was a long-distance relationship at first, before we had the money to move in together. On long and lonely drives in the country this music kept me company. Now we listen to this together in front of the fire on cold Colorado nights like tonight and enjoy it. Thanks for making this.
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 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...
This band are fantastic, the singer reminds me a bit of mike Scott from the water boys, love how there songs build and how they use the piano, guitar, sax and drums - very special music
This song is seriously so wonderful to fall asleep to. I was listening to it with my headphones on the other day while in bed and I drifted in and out of sleep and the song was a fantastic companion. Felt so relaxed and carefree.
Spring 2020 and I had just moved to a resort town in thw mountains of Colorado. My job was great, I had my own place and enjoying my new life. Then Covid hit. Being I lived on the mountain and in a neighborhood of vacation rentals I was isolated and alone. All the tourists went home and suddenly I was by myself and had no idea how Covid was going to turn out. I was stuck in my house, couldn't go to work, and surrounded by silencew that was unnerving to say the least. I was just surfing around RUclips when I stumbled across TWOD. One song was all it took and I was hooked!! I listened to every song of theirs I could find...over and over again. Along with Future Islands and Manchester Orchestra I found solace in this music to make it through each day. Music is the ultimate cure. I finally got to see them when they came to Kansas City and listening to them live was one of the best experiences I have had.
I'm glad that there are a lot of Bojack fans here. It's a serie that deserve all of his viewers and much more.
Lost in the Dream is one of those albums that comes once every 10 years... A deep, nostalgic album, full of emotions...
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
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 😂
I love everyone who loves this song ;)
And I love you too ;)
I LOVE YOU!
love me tender...!
Me too my love.
EU AMO TODOS !

Well the comedown here was easy
Like the arrival of a new day
But a dream like this gets wasted
Without you
[Chorus x2]
Under the pressure is where we are
[Bridge]
You're the only one
Like an illusion
[Verse 2]
When it all breaks down and we're runaways
Standing in the wake of our pain
And we stare straight into nothing
But we call it all the same
You were raised on a promise
Found that over time
Better come around to the new way
Or watch as it all breaks down here
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Well the break down
Stole it all the way across
Stranded on
When you come here and I'm wasted
Lying on a hill, dancin' in the rain
Hidin in the back, loosening my grip
I'm just wading in the water
Just trying not to crack, under the pressure
I'm here because I love this song..... and War On Drugs. This is one of my favorites. So talented... inspiring. 💚
I sob to this over and over. It’s the greatest feeling ever…I’ll never stop.
The greatest band of our generation. The War On Drugs.
Had this album for years and when I was watching BoJack, they used this song perfectly. Gave me chills. Back on this album now!
a couple of years ago i was in a mall looking for clothes and this song started to play in the store, i was heavy into twod back then and without even noticing started to sing along while walking aroung the clothing rows, then i noticed people looking at me vibing with this awesome song and smiling, some even started vibing along, it was surreal but i loved that moment, never happened something like that to me before
Saw them last night in London, at the Royal Albert Hall. They are amazing live. They ended the main set with this.
I'm still buzzing
