This is the most underrated band I have ever found. This guys has deep deep passion inside of him. He has so much to share. I'm so happy I know this band. I really feel Aaron's pain and appreciate his vulnerability.
@@ImperialAlex heartbreak. The singer is helping a friend heal from a breakup, and he hopes that he will end up with her when she is okay again. “Because he wasted your time, in a year you’ll be mine” ‘Drinking lightning’ means him and her are working through her trauma. The lightning is the trauma. They are drinking it together.
@@DiscountBat daaamn dude, that's the clearest explanation I've seen so far about this song. Thank you soooo much!! If it's not too much issue, do you know what the song "Dreamers" is talking about?
Always been my opinion but this is the best album awol has ever done to date. Some songs from new album have this sound but this album is def #1. Fell in love with them bc of this album. Every single song is GOOD
I absolutely love the melody that he begins to hum at 3:53; reminds me a lot of Sail, but in a different tone somehow. Incredibly heavy and emotional song to conclude this amazing album.
Half the songs on this album are awesome and faster songs, they make you really hyper and stuff. The other half is awesome slower songs, they make you really happy and stuff
AWOLNATION rocks, no other band compares, no one else has the voice, lyrics, tone, mood, or anything! AWOL knows music all the way. Shine on Aaron and same with your band. Love you guys. :D
This song represents so many emotions for me it’s almost overwhelming… I hope you all are dealing with your own problems better than me. Love you all ❤
OMG, haven't heard this in forever, used to listen to it non-stop. These guys are so amazing. The part that starts at 3:20 until the end, oh my hell, so damn amazing.
Suck it, Imagine dragons! AWOLNATION has put together one of the best rock album's of the year without being 100% pop or pander to the top 40. To all AWOLNATION fan's, let's fucking celebrate. We don't get most hit band's these day's who can evolve or take risk's like this one.
Josh Leitzel I know most to all of their songs by heart, even the unreleased ones. You really should look into them more because they're so much more then demons and Radioactive.
I'm aware of that. I enjoy researching artists past their chart topping hits, just like AWOLNATION is more than just Sail. It's not that I didn't enjoy the other tracks I've heard, they just haven't impressed me all that much, personally. At least, not that I can remember. I may go back and listen to some of them again to see if my opinion changes. I'm glad you seem to get a lot of enjoyment out of them, though.
Saw this tour in Philly @ the fillmore, fantastic, right from the smokey, laser show opening of 'Run'...in my forties and was jumping up & down like back in high school! Thanks Awolnation!😊🎶
Someone recognised the AWOLNATION logo on my hoodie earlier. They were the first person to recognise that the logo was AWOLNATION and they started singing the first few lines of sail. That was fun :)
this became my favorite song to listen to before I finished my first playthrough and I just keep coming back for more. Wish I could've seen these guys in concert more than once by now but I'll definitely be looking for tickets the next time they have a chance to swing by.
It’s so weird, years ago I listened to this album constantly, however despite remembering the name of this song, and the first 30 odd seconds, I feel like I’ve never heard to before today. This is so strange
I'm gonna see them on October 29 and I'm excited to see them killing it! they are completely underappreciated just because they don't throw in mainstream pop, but you know what? I like it that way.
Oh my god guys, seriously play this song and then play another one overlapping it exactly 15 seconds afterwards, haha stumbled on it by accident and boy am I glad i did :P
This is just such a great song that needs to be noticed by people more, awolnation is underrated by themselves. This song hits me so hard it's not funny.....
One of if not the best song in the end you can really feel the music and the phone call in the end is a cool thing to end the song with and how they did that with a couple of other songs
im the guy that wasted her time. hell has come and it hasnt gone yet. no i dont fare well without her... the tool marks are too deep. the tears dont fall anymore theyre all dry. in 5 years im not fine. no i dont fare well without you... i need your lightning...
Noticed the lyrics stopped a little short, so here's the rest pulled from another video. The other video didn't have audio, so kinda made the best of two worlds! :) Enjoy! In the valley And my heart sinks There'll be no strings I'm worth nothing When the sad wind From the night said Help me pretend that you'll sin In the dark space The touch of your soft face In front of a fireplace Would you believe me If the phone rings Tell him nothing Or maybe one thing That hell is coming Cuz' he waisted your time In a year you'll be mine No you don't fair well No you don't fair well No you don't fair well, without me When I feel numb From your answer I take a kinder Appreciate your kinder If the glove fits Above the tool box You'll hear a pin drop At the sound of my thoughts Now the pain cries Down a cheek it dries Oh the pink sky And back little white lies When my eyes sting Where my heart sinks There will be no strings We're drinking lighting Cuz' he waisted your time In a year you'll be mine No you don't fair well No you don't fair well No you don't fair well, without me We're drinking your lighting We're drinking your lighting We're drinking your lighting We're drinking your lighting Oh.... No you don't fair well No you don't fair well No you don't fair well, without me No you don't fair well No you don't fair well No you don't fair well, with out me
JuiceReloaded I wonder how the lyrics got cut off at the end? Hm, well I do think this part is right: "I’ll take a gander, appreciate your candor." Beautiful.
Enekobus I believe you're correct, I copy/pasted from another video, and didn't really read the lyrics. Though, That makes a lot more sense than saying kinder twice! :)
Finally gave the full album a listen. My first impressions of it leave it at a 6.8/10. Megalithic Symphony left me with pretty high expectations, as every song on that album left me wanting more, which this album just couldn't deliver on. The only songs that really stood out to me were "Jailbreak" "Headrest For My Soul" "Woman Woman" and "Like people. Like Plastic." Everything else was ok, but it lacked something that I feel like the last album had on every track. A few more listens of the album might give me a better appreciation for the songs.
TheDrunkLee I think Aaron realized he wouldn't be able to make another MS so he just rolled with where his head is now. I had a similar reaction when I first heard it, like there are too many ballads. But it's grown on me so I hope it does for you too. It reminds me of his earlier work with other bands, which I love. No, it's not MS but it has some really cool things to offer and seems more mature in a way IMO :)
+TheDrunkLee I respect your opinion, but I personally think that run, holy roller, hollow moon, and windows are also pretty good...AWOLNATION IS THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was trying to pinpoint the style of this song and I just figured it out! This song is very Modest Mouse sounding. Still had Awol's sound but sounds like something Modest would do :) Love both those bands and got to see both at Edgefest 2015 :)
@@m4rz585 I came up with a storyline for the song Like People, Like Plastic that's totally random and probably not the meaning buttt sounds cool plot-wise
"Cause he's wasting your time","In a year you'll be mine","You don't fair well without me" - guys clearly he likes some girl and someone else is with her
This is the most underrated band I have ever found. This guys has deep deep passion inside of him. He has so much to share. I'm so happy I know this band. I really feel Aaron's pain and appreciate his vulnerability.
I totally agree with you
I agree with you,they're my favourite band,they're so deep
Pa Pa Pa Passion!
I hope more people would know him
all one guy.. he produced blind melon n few others great producer
This hits you right in the god damn FEELS....You feel this person's pain. The voicemail at the end actually illustrates the mood further. Beautiful.
+D_M0NAYY oh, yes.
Forgive me if I'm like 6 years late, but I don''t quite understand what this song is about
@@ImperialAlex heartbreak. The singer is helping a friend heal from a breakup, and he hopes that he will end up with her when she is okay again.
“Because he wasted your time, in a year you’ll be mine”

@@DiscountBat daaamn dude, that's the clearest explanation I've seen so far about this song. Thank you soooo much!!
If it's not too much issue, do you know what the song "Dreamers" is talking about?
RUN definitely hits you on an emotional level. You can feel each and every song flow through you.
that's why I think Awolnation is amazing
yes indeed my friend.
Love the phone message at the end of this song. It's just a beautiful way to end the album.
why is this band so addictive
very addictive. agreed. i think they put crack in their music. :P
+Stanley"Labladorite"Comment Because you have guilty filthy soul.
+Scatman 24 i see what you did there B)
I know at first I didn't like them until I was in pain.
Agreed. They are amazing!
I love how Awolnations fan base are all so positive! It's a nice change from the arguing I usually see among other fan-bases
“Cause he wasted your time” the way that is sung and the instruments in the background gives me chills it’s so solemn.
The synths at 1:11? I agree.
Always been my opinion but this is the best album awol has ever done to date. Some songs from new album have this sound but this album is def #1. Fell in love with them bc of this album. Every single song is GOOD
I seem to enjoy the new Awolnation songs such as this one with the lowest views here on UA-cam. So calm, subtle, yet much power behind this song!
I back this so much, i feel like AWOL focuses more on the meaning of a song.
SotA1080 love
This Song Calms Me Down and Then I Think of Life.
From start to finish this album is BRILLIANT!
I absolutely love the melody that he begins to hum at 3:53; reminds me a lot of Sail, but in a different tone somehow. Incredibly heavy and emotional song to conclude this amazing album.
What a perfect ending
10/10 love this song
R_U_FEELIN_IT_NOW_MR_KRABS????????????
Heard this song once and instantly fell in love. Since the day this album dropped i can not stop thinking about this song.
This entire album has helped me through a lot. Aaron is such an inspiration
Whole song is so so cool. But 3:20, with the drums---just love it. GREAT wrap-up to a GREAT album.
i think this is my favorite off the whole album
One of the best albums ever produced. Thank you Awolnation! 💙
This song was with me at my deepest lows, and gives me a feelings that i can't describe, yet it will haunt me forever
Awolnation is the best band ever ! No doubts on that
Half the songs on this album are awesome and faster songs, they make you really hyper and stuff. The other half is awesome slower songs, they make you really happy and stuff
I will be home a soon as you need me to come home my Lord
I dont even understand how any of you compare Imagine Dragons and AWOLNATION, when they are two completely different genres of music.
Anthony Smith Both can be considered "Alternative Rock", but the two bands are only vaguely similar.
Digital
I'm so sorry
Friction
Battle cry
Warriors
Hopeless Opus
Believer
Natural
Bullet in a gun
Actually they are pretty similar which is why i like them both so much
@@laggytoasty No, they're rather different.
@@cwheels01 they both have the same genres of music
Just executed differently
How is it possible to listen to a song a thousand times and still get chills? Ugh, this song.
AWOLNATION rocks, no other band compares, no one else has the voice, lyrics, tone, mood, or anything! AWOL knows music all the way. Shine on Aaron and same with your band. Love you guys. :D
This song represents so many emotions for me it’s almost overwhelming… I hope you all are dealing with your own problems better than me. Love you all ❤
This is such a dark song to finish off an intensely emotional album… perfect 😂
Βλεσσεδ βροτηερ. Για👋🏻
OMG, haven't heard this in forever, used to listen to it non-stop. These guys are so amazing. The part that starts at 3:20 until the end, oh my hell, so damn amazing.
Holy pink Floyd. This song is amazing.the whole album is perfect.
That message at the end makes it seem much more real
5 years later and my feelings are still feeling from RUN. Especially from this song.
I listen to every Awolnation song at least once a week ; when I hear this song I get the feels and ponder my exsistence

Why can't both be good..?
I really dug Radioactive and Demons, but I don't remember any of their other stuff interesting me that much. Especially on their new album.
Josh Leitzel I know most to all of their songs by heart, even the unreleased ones. You really should look into them more because they're so much more then demons and Radioactive.

Both are good. Well, Awolnation a little more. Well, so better xD
Is question of musical tastes.
AWOLNATION is the best band ever forever.
Brings me back to the best days of my life.
Saw this tour in Philly @ the fillmore, fantastic, right from the smokey, laser show opening of 'Run'...in my forties and was jumping up & down like back in high school! Thanks Awolnation!😊🎶
These guys blow your brains they are soo brilliant totally underrated
Ty !!!
I finally listened to this all the way through.....so glad I waited to listen as a whole!!!Beautiful
Had only listened to 2 songs prior
This song is saaaaaad ;;-;; like legit. if you listen to the lyrics...
it kinda made me tear up
Awolnation is the greatest band ever!
Someone recognised the AWOLNATION logo on my hoodie earlier. They were the first person to recognise that the logo was AWOLNATION and they started singing the first few lines of sail. That was fun :)
I love this song, it connects so much with my emotions and experiences, and becomes so powerful and meaningful.
AWOLNATION is the best band ever.
this song is absurdly beautiful and calming

I love this band. I liked this album. Good luck, yours fans of ARGENTINA
I love this album just as much as Megalithic Symphony, both have great energy.
Easily my favorite song of the album.
So beautiful...
Yep
Oh my god guys, seriously play this song and then play another one overlapping it exactly 15 seconds afterwards, haha stumbled on it by accident and boy am I glad i did :P
this song is sad af and i love it
Time flies....
this is my favorite song for two reasons: 1. its a beautiful and relatable song.
2. the length of the video is my favorite number (5.09)
+SkrappzKNA The video was changed to only 5:08 and my heart hurts.
+SkrappzKNA its still 5:09 for me lol
this song makes my chest hurt its so good
Love this band.
This is just such a great song that needs to be noticed by people more, awolnation is underrated by themselves. This song hits me so hard it's not funny.....
UNDERRATED
I love this song
OMG I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS MASTERPIECE
Red Bull bike rewind, best of 2017 brought me here.

Couldn't be more relevant in my life right now
His voice turns me into a puddle of mush...beautiful!
My wife songs 😊❤
Half the lyrics are missing from the description, but i love this song!
im the guy that wasted her time. hell has come and it hasnt gone yet. no i dont fare well without her... the tool marks are too deep. the tears dont fall anymore theyre all dry. in 5 years im not fine. no i dont fare well without you... i need your lightning...
No I don't fare well...
Noticed the lyrics stopped a little short, so here's the rest pulled from another video. The other video didn't have audio, so kinda made the best of two worlds! :) Enjoy!
In the valley
And my heart sinks
There'll be no strings
I'm worth nothing
When the sad wind
From the night said
Help me pretend that you'll sin
In the dark space
The touch of your soft face
In front of a fireplace
Would you believe me
If the phone rings
Tell him nothing
Or maybe one thing
That hell is coming
Cuz' he waisted your time
In a year you'll be mine
No you don't fair well
No you don't fair well
No you don't fair well, without me
When I feel numb
From your answer
I take a kinder
Appreciate your kinder
If the glove fits
Above the tool box
You'll hear a pin drop
At the sound of my thoughts
Now the pain cries
Down a cheek it dries
Oh the pink sky
And back little white lies
When my eyes sting
Where my heart sinks
There will be no strings
We're drinking lighting
Cuz' he waisted your time
In a year you'll be mine
No you don't fair well
No you don't fair well
No you don't fair well, without me
We're drinking your lighting
We're drinking your lighting
We're drinking your lighting
We're drinking your lighting
Oh....
No you don't fair well
No you don't fair well
No you don't fair well, without me
No you don't fair well
No you don't fair well
No you don't fair well, with out me

speed up to 1.5 when the music picks up. Loving it!
Oh Hell naw, I did that on Jailbreak and now it's the only way I can listen to it.
😂😂😂 lol maybe you should reopen UA-cam.
+Kiasia Bassett He meant that he got used to listen only in 1.5 he can change to 1.0 but he doesn't want to xD
No buyback: the song
_frvr HAHAHHAHA SAME THO
Love this song when I have no buyback for 120 secs lol
this is one very good band, then will everybody else find out! (under known band for sure)
very good song
Absolutely top notch AWOLNATION! Bravo....Truly an amazing body of work. Thank you :)
I listened to this song when I am sad
This is my wedding 💒 song

No you don't, (don't) farewell, my favorite part if you ask me
When I heard At The Door by The Strokes I immediately thought of this song when I heard the ending because that synth was almost identical.
Love drinking lightning :)
Mine and Marie wedding song❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
i still like sail best by far over any of their other songs
No one's said anything about the lyrics just Stopping? lol still great song
How can I mouth the lyrics even though I’ve never heard this song?

Put this song at 1.5 speed and it's up beat and awesome
That Iron & Wine vibe though.
If Imagen Dragons and AWOLNATION made a song together, that'd be AWESOME!!!
2:16 _"Down our chicken drive"_ just me?
Just you lmao
what is the story of the album?

I don't really think it has a story, but I also think it's left to interpretation. Like, it has a story, but the story is what it is to you.
