Eduardo Aguirre Definitely, it's so refreshing to see real performers and not cookie cutter molded personas because that's what some suit and ties think the masses want to see. Not that they don't have talent either. But this raw talent where the music touches you and carries you. And her stage presence, you can't make this up. This is the real deal!
Rob Tecum Right, I was watching some of her live performances. She sounds as awesome live as she does recorded on a track. I love her raspy, soulful voice.
Rob Tecum Me too. I have to be honest this is just the 2nd song I hear but I can't wait for the album. It'll be awesome to be driving to this. ***** You said it. Musicians... not performes.
Wow... This song is so good. I only recently heard it for the first time and 2:42 to the end is just overwhelming... The mentally exhausted yelling of not wanting to fight anymore brought tears to my eyes.
My life, your life Don't cross them lines What you like, what I like Why can't we both be right? Attacking, defending Until there's nothing left worth winning Your pride and my pride Don't waste my time I don't wanna fight no more Take from my hand Put in your hands The fruit of all my grief Lying down ain't easy When everyone is pleasing I can't get no relief Living ain't no fun The constant dedication Keeping the water and power on There ain't nobody left Why can't I catch my breath? I'm gonna work myself to death No, no, no, no! I don't wanna fight no more I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna fight! I don't wanna fight no more
So much honesty in this! When people keep pushing and pushing. They WILL push you away if there's no brakes on the anger and provocation. GET IT, people!!
Yooooo I'm watching this on an SNL rerun and I'm fucking with it!! I'm fucking with her singing style. Like, I can already tell that she can SAAANG by how wide she can open her mouth (no shade, you need to be able to do that for resonance purposes lol). Definitely going to listen to the rest of y'all's music today
This is the best new sound I have ever heard. Alabama Shakes has instantly become my favorite band! Once you get beyond how amazing the lead singer is you hear how equally amazing the rest of the band is.
Welcome back Alabama Shakes. Us fans have missed you. We are anxious for new music. Enjoying the new track. Just what I would expect from a great band and dedicated musicians like yourselves. Keep up the fine work. I will be playing this song over and over until April 21st. Looking forward to the upcoming tour. I need to break my cherry and see the band live in concert for the first time.
This kind of music needs to be played more on [popular] radio stations instead of those ridiculous pop songs that are played over and over in which people actually enjoy.. (For some reason??)
TheMekvinFTW Since when is my comment 'idiotic', and how does this make me a hipster? I am nowhere close to being hipster, i just like this kind of music..Thank you very much.
em ily You deny it but you have the attitude of one my friend, I'm sorry if your song is not as famous as you want it to be, don't complain about pop music being on the radio, goodnight
em ily amen to that brother but it seems good things are only enjoyed by the few. At the moment, it seems the current mainstream "Capital" will reign until music develops another culture that is not dominated by auto-tune
'Attacking. Defending. Until, there's nothing left worth winning.' One of the most succinct summations of the things that divide us, and yet bring the opportunity and hope that through working to understand, we are limited only by our imagination. Brilliantly simplistic.
+Pepe AtScratch Rock is constantly evolving and nowadays we see Rock and Blues merging with bands like The Arctic Monkeys (Their newest album), The Dead Weather, and now Alabama Shakes. Personally I love it...
You get ignorance when education and History isn't taught correctly. I am Black American and WE shaped American music We created all of that. While whites stole our music. Sound and dance. Ask any Rock and Roll ( White) artist where it came from. Lmao. Same with Salsa, Merengue, Mambo etc..... It's all from Africa. Just like Santana said. People need to start reading more and talking less.
+Stephanie Morton I wouldn't call it stealing it, perhaps improve it or expand it. Music is for everyone but I do agree with the roots of the music today. Great song either way !
obsessed with this song!!! these guys are from like 15 minutes down the road from me and I can't wait to see them in Memphis on March 20th!!!! about to preorder this album ASAP
Same here. Never heard of them until one song came on Pandora and they live just on the other side of the river. Country music is just so thick down here that's all you hear.
Jared McRae Lucky you. But over here in Holland the music sounds luckily as good as it does over there with you haha. Im gonna recommended this song to all my friends!!
Music's timing is always great timing. You can listen once before and never realized that you Dont wanna fight no more until now. "Why cant we both be right"
Hear that sound?? That's a guitar... Hear that other sound?? Amazing vocals... Aka, proper music. Long live the instrument, and the talented musicians that operate them.
your right some guy on the Internet. I stopped listening to the radio many years ago because i felt like what was in the air wasn't the best out there. now I only find good music through youtube, print ads or what ever catches my ear. Alabama Shakes is a breath of fresh air and its music I have been wanting to here for a long time
man this makes me wanna fucking break this fucking window nest to me, hop outta here, and groove the fuck out down the street, oooooooo goddaymmmm. anyone is welcome to join my groooove
mannn this is the type of song you listen to an just picture yourself on top of a mountain watching a beautiful sunset or in the ocean beach just looking at the sky an seeing the stars shine oh so bright
I'll never forget the feeling this gave me when it came out. Still hits so f"*cking good. I was in awe to hear such a change in pace from their shine-y, Summer-esque debut compared to what I could already tell was going to be a soulful, tight, sonic record with some dark undertones. This album reigns on. I cannot wait to hear what Brittany has to offer on her vulnerable new album.
ALL is not lost! Makes me feel like.....when it's all said and done, after everything stupid that we've done as a species....WE STILL WIN...because...MUSIC
New Fan on board here, listen to her amazing introspective interview on NPR today, and she invited the world into her heart, I felt welcomed and spiritually kindred to her.... such a beautiful wise soul
I heard a few of their songs a while back and knew of them but I did not really experience them until yesterday. Now I am devouring it all. So so good.
Wildly authentic and genuine. 'Don't Wanna Fight' is visceral, tightly coiled, socially conscious funk with a pained soul and an urgency that evokes Curtis Mayfield. Alabama Shakes are the real deal and prove it throughout the 12 highly original tracks on 'Sound & Color' (2015). It's an uneven, sprawling piece of work that thrills, surprises, occasionally missteps but ultimately satisfies. This isn't "factory" music written by teams of industry songwriters to satisfy stockholders at a record company. This isn't a commodity or product engineered by soulless big media (unlike most contemporary pop). It's actual artistic inspiration and musical ambition that challenges the artist and listener. Take note when music like this comes around. It's a rare treat in today's mainstream industry.
The first screech sound actually almost made me turn this amazing masterpiece off.... glad I didn't..........jesus...this is an amazing song.....I love that screech now... gonna put this as my noon car song when I get back to San fransisco, driving by the cliffs with sun setting while listening to this masterpiece would just keep me speechless..
Whole album... Soul of the 70's recaptured with glimpses of today mixed in. Amazing. Maybe better than their first although both albums are outstanding.
Oh my fuck.ng GOD!!
How come this doesn't have millions of views?????
This song is fucking amazing
I agree! This moves the soul, it's so good!
Thank you for your comments!!
It's great to know you think the same about the song
Eduardo Aguirre Definitely, it's so refreshing to see real performers and not cookie cutter molded personas because that's what some suit and ties think the masses want to see.

***** You said it. Musicians... not performes.
Oh my gosh just discovered Alabama Shakes, and my eyes have opened. They are AMAZING. So very amazing.
Man its been a LONG time since I heard a new song that I really dig!
Right on dude! :)
+retroolschool Do you not listen to new music much or something?
André Nakamura
Nope, he doesn't.
***** Did not ask you.
+André Nakamura thats my buddy there...
Wow... This song is so good. I only recently heard it for the first time and 2:42 to the end is just overwhelming... The mentally exhausted yelling of not wanting to fight anymore brought tears to my eyes.
This whole album...
damn this is fucking dope. everything down to the mixing is straight magic
Finally some music that has so much soul, it is tangible. I love Brittany's passion... she is truly in a class by herself... Out-fucking-standing!!!!
SOOOO 😮SOULFUL & 😅Provocative! I LISTENED TO IT 4x ! The msg. IN THE MUSIC IS DOPE TOO😊
the voice imperfection (only way I can word it sorry) sounds fucking perfect, honestly one of my favourites ever, fantastic job
p
+Sonny LE Cadence or inflection might be the word you are looking for.
+Sonny LE ALL I HEAR IS A MANS VOICEEE
"inflection," idiot.
Word. Voices that have been vocal coached in the extreme leaves me very cold.
All power, zero soul. I'm thinking Adele, Beyonce etc.
This hook is a force of nature
Agreed!
+biggestfanofroger Totally!!!
could not have said it better....such an awesome voice!!
That guitar riff is too lol
My life, your life
Don't cross them lines
What you like, what I like
Why can't we both be right?
Attacking, defending
Until there's nothing left worth winning
Your pride and my pride
Don't waste my time
I don't wanna fight no more
Take from my hand
Put in your hands
The fruit of all my grief
Lying down ain't easy
When everyone is pleasing
I can't get no relief
Living ain't no fun
The constant dedication
Keeping the water and power on
There ain't nobody left
Why can't I catch my breath?
I'm gonna work myself to death
No, no, no, no!
I don't wanna fight no more
I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna fight!
I don't wanna fight no more
Carlos Andres Lopez Patiño thank you
So much honesty in this! When people keep pushing and pushing. They WILL push you away if there's no brakes on the anger and provocation. GET IT, people!!
"My line, and you're line.....
Don't cross dem lines....."
*ARE THE CORRECT LYRICS*
But I still love you!!!😘😘😍
Maestro,sos una masa,saludos desde Chile.
Thanks

Same, I was impressed that I restarted that part 4 times
+Payton Nunn lol! Yes like I was staring at my tv in awe. I was like she's singing from the depth of her soul
Real shit
she killed it on #SNL #SaturdayNightLive she funky as hell! #gizzycredit
I’m so thankful that my job played this song throughout the building this week. I needed to be reminded of this song ❤
This is the best new sound I have ever heard.
Alabama Shakes has instantly become my favorite band!
Once you get beyond how amazing the lead singer is you hear how equally amazing the rest of the band is.
This is a song that you feel, you simply don't just listen to this!!
+Mr. Jay A Truuu
+Mr. Jay A You're right!!
+Mr. Jay A I want to make a dance choreo to this now that you mention it
2:18 is the only good part
***** I'd like your comment but you not having a profile picture makes you seem like a fat ass for some reason
Sings her heart out without missing a beat - love that RAW soul. Rock on Girl!

A bit of disco rhythm and channeling Earth, Wind and Fire, and THE ALABAMA SHAKES are back and not to be ignored!!! Love it...
GODDAMN! I Fucking love those drums. Punchy as hell!!!!
and that guitar...gimme a sec, I need to go change my pants

no hay mejor sensación que encontrar la canción que buscabas desde hace más de un año

***** and stupid lw quality riffs, I'm not all that in to pop, but I listen to quality music
Soooo refreshing to see some original non corporate music. They really have some soul. Its a mix of blue, funk, rap, and rock. Amazing!!!
There is many great music out. Don't just listen to what's on the radio dig more people.
'Attacking. Defending. Until, there's nothing left worth winning.'
One of the most succinct summations of the things that divide us, and yet bring the opportunity and hope that through working to understand, we are limited only by our imagination. Brilliantly simplistic.
i decided the "Prez" needed to hear this so I dedicated it to him on fb. I may also send it to him in a tweet since that's all he does.
Brittney Howard is an amazing songwriter and deserves the grammy for this album.
Miss Howard and her band are too good for the grammy...
i laugh at all the ignorant people in the comment section claiming this isn't rock because it has elements of soul and blues
+Pepe AtScratch you can call it what you want ...but it isn't rock!
Cesar Almeida Funny. Rock N Roll is Black Soul Baby.
We made that too!!!!!!
+Pepe AtScratch Rock is constantly evolving and nowadays we see Rock and Blues merging with bands like The Arctic Monkeys (Their newest album), The Dead Weather, and now Alabama Shakes. Personally I love it...
You get ignorance when education and History isn't taught correctly.
I am Black American and WE shaped American music
We created all of that. While whites stole our music. Sound and dance.
Ask any Rock and Roll ( White) artist where it came from.
Lmao.
Same with Salsa, Merengue, Mambo etc.....
It's all from Africa.
Just like Santana said.
People need to start reading more and talking less.
+Stephanie Morton I wouldn't call it stealing it, perhaps improve it or expand it. Music is for everyone but I do agree with the roots of the music today. Great song either way !
So much SOUL in her voice.
Her?
Man, I seen this band on SNL, they are great, harmonizing, and funky!
obsessed with this song!!! these guys are from like 15 minutes down the road from me and I can't wait to see them in Memphis on March 20th!!!! about to preorder this album ASAP
i live 30 mins from Athens and i am ashamed that i just found this amazing music weeks ago. I would love to see the Memphis show.
Hope ya had fun
Same here. Never heard of them until one song came on Pandora and they live just on the other side of the river. Country music is just so thick down here that's all you hear.
Jason Parker Oh no! I would be ashamed too. They supposedly did covers before and I would've enjoyed that... especially in a small town.
Jared McRae Lucky you. But over here in Holland the music sounds luckily as good as it does over there with you haha. Im gonna recommended this song to all my friends!!
watching the Grammys brought me here :-) great tune great vibrations
I remember I first discovered Alabama Shakes when she performed at the Grammys and ohmygurd I LOVE HER MUSIC
There's something so uniquely captivating on the section at 2:42 that just drives me nuts. It's just amazing
Music's timing is always great timing. You can listen once before and never realized that you Dont wanna fight no more until now. "Why cant we both be right"
Really nice sound. Love the vocals, the vibe, and the guitar tone(s).
Impossível ouvir esse clássico e ficar parado...baita som pras pistas de dança!!!
Best singer out there today. Perfect combination of technicality and rawness.
This song draws more from the origins of rock music than most of what is considered rock music today. Blues, folk and country music.
+93RubixCube Finally someone who knows their history of rock.
This song ain't fucking around.
lmao on me 💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
not to Express roughly!
Great pick the Grammy's. I'm so happy I found this band
Hear that sound?? That's a guitar... Hear that other sound?? Amazing vocals...
Aka, proper music.
Long live the instrument, and the talented musicians that operate them.
your right some guy on the Internet. I stopped listening to the radio many years ago because i felt like what was in the air wasn't the best out there. now I only find good music through youtube, print ads or what ever catches my ear. Alabama Shakes is a breath of fresh air and its music I have been wanting to here for a long time
Li ho conosciuti solo adesso. È la musica che cercavo. Meravigliosi
That moment when you discover rad music randomly.
Come here because the Grammy performance. That was outstanding!!

+Elijah Mcknight Yep!

HOW CAN YOU DISLIKE THIS SONG HAVE YOU NO EARS

I'm a 50 something old white man and I love this music and I love Brittany Howard. Something about her just melts my heart...
I just heard this band on the radio for the first time. Wow. What a cools sound. Love it. Great mix of retro and a new sound.
This song is awesome. I've just realised that not all musicians suck nowadays. Good job Alabama Shakes! Keep it up!
man this makes me wanna fucking break this fucking window nest to me, hop outta here, and groove the fuck out down the street, oooooooo goddaymmmm. anyone is welcome to join my groooove
Don't hurt yo-self now !

This is the best thing I have heard in a really long time.
There's still good music out there man! Damn, this song is so good, this band is so good.
Pretty dope song!!! I'm loving the drums!!!

Sillicon Valley brought me here too hehe
Also here from silicon valley 😂
Same!
whoaaa. the guitar here has some real deal swag moving through.
mannn this is the type of song you listen to an just picture yourself on top of a mountain watching a beautiful sunset or in the ocean beach just looking at the sky an seeing the stars shine oh so bright
I'll never forget the feeling this gave me when it came out. Still hits so f"*cking good.

I love this song, my favourite bands 🇲🇽
ALL is not lost! Makes me feel like.....when it's all said and done, after everything stupid that we've done as a species....WE STILL WIN...because...MUSIC
yes to this
Nah we don't win, we do lose. But still you're right - music. And Jesus.
Art, produced or consumed, is the language of the soul. If you ain't speakin' it, do you even have one?
luv the groove old blues and rock n roll style that music was the best I hope to hear more from this innovative group
mario mendoza y este pedazo de cancion, diario del fin del mundo

Congrats Alabama Shakes!
Please keep rocking kids! You give me goose bumps with your bluesy style and sharp rock riffs. We sure don't want to fight without you!
Holy. Shit. This is a gift to my heart and my ears. I cannot put into words how delicious this is to my senses, my innerds, and my nethers.
Thank you.
My fucking good taste in music brought me here...
OOOOOOOOHHH SHIT
#Savage Life
Gooooooooold

Dimitar Ganev truth
"I don't wanna fart no more." FINALLY, music that I can relate to.
#tacobellproblems
This is one of the most badass songs I have ever heard .....just pure raw emotion coming straight through to your soul .
I've heard of this band before but have never listened to their music until now. They're definitely a new favorite of mine.
Woke up this Election Day. Immediately played this song.
LeahBandB i wish RUclips had a laughing button
Ashamed to have only discovered this in April...2016. Hooked.
shame for us
but mostly shame on me.
Ditto for me
I heard a few of their songs a while back and knew of them but I did not really experience them until yesterday. Now I am devouring it all. So so good.
Essa obra de arte tocou em um comercial de tv aqui no Brasil e desde então não paro de ouvir.
Sim, essa música é maravilhosa!
Está na trilha da novela da globo
She’s freaking great, I love this song so much
Pure music. ..thrilled to hear this band. .there is hope. ..music is still beautiful
That scream at 0:38
Holy Shit that is good
Perfect song for these riots I want us all to love and live in peace.
Amen. Left? Right? Who cares? Hug your neighbor, don't want more than you need, have a damn picnic in the garden. Let the pointless division cease.
Groovy song , the vid reminds me a bit of Do I wanna know
Her voice! Her music is wonderful! Just wow!
Seeing a band at the near-peak of their creative powers. Brilliant.
First time hearing this. Grammys got this one right.
This song is dope
The visual work in this lyric video #mate #soappreciated so awesome
DA-RIZ Fr though man

Awhooooooo!!!! Finally some grooves!!!!And got my new headphones on! Can't stop dancing to this!
The first screech sound actually almost made me turn this amazing masterpiece off.... glad I didn't..........jesus...this is an amazing song.....I love that screech now... gonna put this as my noon car song when I get back to San fransisco, driving by the cliffs with sun setting while listening to this masterpiece would just keep me speechless..
You do realize rock originated from the blues. Rock is uptempo blues, Chuck Berry and Little Richard personified it.
lylemaclin James Brown, Otis Redding, Ray Charles, Wilson Pickett.
BB King, Muddy Waters Robert Johnson
Personification is the act of giving non - human things human like qualities. How did they "personify" rock?
RIP Little Richard
Well, not really. Rock is a type of music. Blues is simply a subset of Rock. It's called Blues rock.
A great song !!
yep mooie song thank you ***** voor het delen.
zo is het Tine
I love watching the lines/shapes move in this video!
Whole album... Soul of the 70's recaptured with glimpses of today mixed in. Amazing. Maybe better than their first although both albums are outstanding.
