Omg so the first time i cried to this song was because i had broken up with my ex and the lyrics "fit" back then, now i listen again and i can only think that this song could be EASILY been written by someone who just lost their pet! And now i'm crying even harder than when i cried over my ex because it's much more painful to lose a pet 😢
This started popping up in the mix for The Shins Simple song. It’s beautiful but I still love Simple Song more currently. What was the song you were looking for?
"Leave it alone" is a personal favourite and could quite possibly be Broken Bells masterpiece, an incredibly soulful and touching song which is relatable to all, the instrumental accompanying the beautiful lyrics enrich the symbolic nature of what the song is trying to say, and that is even after heart ache and misery brought on by ones perception of their partner leads them on the path of being alone, which is that of individuality and one should embrace the choices that they have made. The listener can put themselves in the shoes of the singer as we have all felt the tough, arduous times of leaving the ones we love. The singing by James Mercer is on another level of brilliance, the passion and meaning behind what he is trying to represent can be felt in ways in which i did not believe he had in him. Overall, this song is fantastic, everybody needs to listen to this and without a shadow of doubt they will be in love with Broken Bells after it. If you dont agree, i guess you should just "Leave it alone"
+Jenni Buehler I lost my son to suicide due to his Oxy addiction...so yeah, it sure hits home on that level. Guitar Hero with my youngest brought me this gem of a song. It captured me from the moment I heard it.
I find it completely amazing that I keep accidentally finding the most amazing music just playing around on you tube and I would've never heard it if it wasn't for the damn internet! Lol
I’ve been listening to this album for 10 years and I still find it the most entrancing, beautiful, and otherworldly musical perfection ever created. Also, this lyric video is AMAZING. Thank you, James Mercer and Brian Burton. You’ve made the world a much better place!
if life wasn't tough it wouldn't be worth living, no matter how many times you fucked up, hating yourself for it won't ever make things right. believe me I fuckin know. take a look at the world and all its beauty, relax, and carry on...
First time I listened to this song I thought of my ex boyfriend, but now listening to it again after everything that is going on in the world I feel like it's the Earth singing to us
This is for everyone out there during these awful covid-19 lockdown days. Stay mentally strong, this will pass eventually. The world will change forever after all this is gone. Music is forever. Live everyday as if it is your last. Take full advantage of it, even while you are in a lockdown. Love to you all out there
It's hard to find a group that put out albums that you can listen non stop. I must have listened to October a million times but every time I hear it, it's like I hear it for the first time. Lazy wonderland is starting to be like that as well.
We need a 4th broken bells album.
The aura of this song is so magical. So unreal and pure.

"I gave into this lonely life and you can't change me now, so leave it alone" This line hits me hard.
i REJOYCE !
I found this looking for another song and now I like this one better than the one I was actually looking for.
This is a reason why I like to find songs on my own. The gems you find on your little journey are the ones you keep in mind.

Joe Keller I am so sorry for your loss.
Thanks chatgpt
I love this song. Broken Bells is just a fresh breath of air. It's completely different, but yet amazing.
They sound like Thrice somewhat. He has that voice, can really sing!
The words ring in my head. Just found them today!
So smooth and chill... love it.
This song is an amazing example of modern blues and soul. I love it
Just outstanding, listening to this in the middle of the night w/ a good pair of headphones = perfection.
This is what music sounds like when the heart is tied to the lyrics
Oh my god, Broken Bells can do no wrong.
I find it completely amazing that I keep accidentally finding the most amazing music just playing around on you tube and I would've never heard it if it wasn't for the damn internet! Lol
It's so good... I found the perfect end-song for my playlist. This is the mood.

There's something deeply unsettling yet...strangely beautiful about this clip...
How does this not have 200,000,00 views?
“Leave it alone.” ... the theme song of my life
Never regret your mistakes. They are what make you a better version of you.
It makes a good mantra, for me at least.
Will put this on the top of my list! Wow, what another hit by these guys.
Elementary brings me here. You're brilliant, Sherlock.
Masterpiece
Visual art is B E A U T I F U L!

Found them about 10sec ago and had to check a few other songs after Holding On For Life.
I only know because of the shins

Exquisite- a word to describe this music and the band that is a fine blend to share....
Broken Bells songs all rock
After listening to these guys for years and now being their biggest fan, I can say that this isn’t even their best work. Love you guys

My favorite song from After The Disco.
I liked it very much.
Their breakdowns are amazing
Love this song.
"You were sheltered loved and fed
But you just couldn't leave it alone"
