this piece of music was on my son's playlist when he performed. There is also a video of him performing this in front of a camera. And I had never really listened to the words...when my 20 year old son passed away, I kept hearing pieces of this song in my mind, and the number 12...so I asked 12 of his musician friends of different genre's if they would perform this piece as the last set at his funeral as they carried his coffin away...at that point, that very point, I heard the words...and it was the best piece and fitting for the final goodbye. RIP Traiale Jordan (and a huge thank you to Gaslight Anthem's that wrote such an heart felt piece of music...and also a huge thank you to all the musician's in Plymouth, Devon, United Kingdom for doiung this piece of mysic justice as they helped me say goodbye to their friend, my son xxxx forever grateful
This broke my heart. I'm so sorry for your loss, and I cannot begin to imagine the pain you feel. I found out your son still has his music up on soundcloud and youtube. I'm going to listen to him, and remember him.
I’m going through my own mental health issues right now and love this song. You’re not alone girl. Music seems to get ya through. Love and prayers sent.
My son's mom was killed in a car/train accident in January. We had been split up since before we knew she was pregnant. We co-parented, but we stayed apart because we didn't get along. We were total fire and gasoline. She had struggled with a lot of things, but in the last few months before her death, she had really balanced out, and was the best I'd ever seen her. The last Sunday I dropped my son off to her, I almost told her that I was proud of her, but I chickened out, because we seldom said nice things to each other. I never knew she'd be dead the next day. I am now a single dad to our amazing little boy. He is the best parts of both his mom and I, and none of our bullshit. I have always loved this song, but now when I hear it, I think of her, gone at just 26, way too young, and I hope that she knew love and peace in her final moments. No matter what you're history or drama with someone, don't withhold love or praise from them if they really deserve it. You might think you have forever to tell someone the things that matter, but you may not. The last time you saw them, might really be the last time you ever see them. It might the last time they see you. Tell them you love them. Tell them you're proud. Speak your heart when the moment is there, because trust me, you'll spend your life wishing you had. Much love
Joel Pritchard That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I think everyone has a song that hits a little too close to home, but we're glad that it does.
My cousin, who was pretty much a sister to me, died in a car accident back in December and this song describes how I feel so perfectly. It's been almost a year to the date now and I still listen to this song whenever I really miss her. I really hope that she wasn't scared when it happened... I often find myself thinking of her last conscious moments on Earth and if she did hear her favourite song one last time.
A couple months ago I lost a good friend to a fentanyl OD he and 2 others passed in an apartment I’m still not so sure what really happened I been coming back to this song I hope he was able to pass peacefully tho it’s not likely, your comment reminded me we’re not alone in this cruel and unfair world❤️😔
Hope you’re doing ok . They say time heals wounds but I know it can be very difficult any year when you lose someone really close and especially in these circumstances . Here if you need to talk 🤗
People you love who have left this life are never really gone when their names are still spoken. That line, "Did you hear your favorite song one last time?" really resonates with so many people. Brilliant lyrics. I often wonder if the ones we lost did get to hear their song. When I check out, I hope it is Gaslight Anthem - any song really. Be well...
Every Gaslight Anthem song I hear fills me with overwhelming nostalgia. My faintest memories glow in a powerful light of divine beauty. Times gone by that I don't even remember call me with a siren's song. I remember everything as it once was, in glory far surpassing reality, and I vow never to forget. Because in the end, memories are all we have.
I haven't heard this song or even thought about it in about 10 years. I just left a memorial for a friend that passed. All I've thought about all day while being there was this song. I'm now sitting at a barstool at the bar I work at, alone, and just playing this on repeat. It hurts a lot, but I finally get to sit alone and think of him and place the song that fits.
It's 2023 and we're a week out from a new Gaslight album. I've listened to this song thousands of times and hope I'll listen to it thousands more times. I probably spent 70 bucks on TGA albums and have thousands of hours with them as the soundtrack of life. Love these guys.
I'm glad it helped. I think it's a good song for those times in life where you're face to face with death or tragedy. You should ponder the rattling chains, and hope for the old gospel choir, for yourself and for everybody.
Heard this live about 3 hours ago. The level of connection in that venue was electric. Everyone seated stood without prompt. For a moment, we all understood each other.
No matter how many thousands of times I have listened to this song, it gets me EVERY time. So stunningly beautiful, haunting and upbeat, all rolled into one.
My cousin, my first best friend and constant companion as a kid, died in a car accident literally down the street from my house, 13 years ago today. This has been her song since. I listen to it on this day every year and it never fails to bring me to tears. I love you, Beth. I can’t wait to see you again. ❤
This song hit so many feels. My best friend died in a car accident on a Saturday night. Just reminds of then. However, the tempo and upbeat of the song reminds me of all the good memories and times.
Just lost both of my great grandparents about a week ago. My great grandpa got into a car wreck and ever since then his health declined. This song takes on a whole new meaning after their death and I will forever miss my great grandmama and great grandfather. Thank you, Gaslight Anthem, this song has been helping me through these hard times.
this song is pure genius it captures the soul of america and artists like bruce springstein but its amazing what a bit of speed can do to a song love the pace of it.one of the greatest rock ballads ever made.
had listened to this song a lot before. my grandpa had a heart attack but looked like he was going to be fine so i didn't make the trip up to my hometown to visit then he died in hospital. went back for the funeral. Was still processing and hadn't cried until a month later when i was sitting outside at a cafe and this song came on my mp3 player.
This song is so sad, I almost can't get through it without crying. It reminds me of my nephew who was killed in a car crash, and he called my mom, "grandmama". It crushes my heart every time I hear it, but I can't stop listening to it. It brings me closer to him, and my mom.
I'm an old guy and saw these guys at Lollapalooza several years ago. This song is beautiful and I make sure to listen to my favorite song at least once a week. Absolutely fantastic, it was great live !
Sometimes things come Together for a reason, This song, The lyrics the tempo the video the feeling, This is as perfect as it gets Brian Fallon is a Genius
I never expected ti grow up with this song or this band. They mean so much to me these days and have really captured departing innocence. I first heard this song when i was 13, im 23 now and the meaning has changed fron then to now but the massage is the same to me. Brian, please regroup with your bandmates and make another album. You are all always going on tour together just make it official please!
Just listened to this song on repeat for awhile, it also reminds of my Dad's death. He was a steel worker for 45 years and he died of a heart attack at that plant, my Mom heard the ambulance as it took him to the hospital. I was 16 my brother Dave came and got me from school. My life changed forever on that day, My Dad wasn't suppose to die when I was in grade 10, messed me up, messed my Mom up, messed my family up. Thanks for this song!!
This song means so much to me. Since 2 days my grandmother (the only grandparent i have left) aged 86 had to go to the hospital.Due Corona i'm not able to visit her. I've sent her this song. Ty Brian, Ty gaslight
I don't know how I only discovered this song within the past week but holy HELL is it ever as perfect a song that I've ever heard, that chorus is gonna stay with me
just got chills listening to this song and I've listened to it hundreds of times before. I will never forget the first time I heard this song it was amazing
There are a lot of songs I love, but this is the one that personally resonates emotionally so deeply that I wish I had written it. R.I.P., Rose. You'd be turning 35 this week...in all likelihood we'd have lost touch by now, but I'm sure you'd have turned into an incredible woman. The world (and my world) would be better off if you were still a small part of it.
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go. I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow. When we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms, I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life. 'Cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life, The chains I been hearing now for most of my life. Did you hear the fifty-nine Sound coming through on grandmother's radio? Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls? Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over? Did you hear your favorite song one last time? And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass? See, I was playing a show down the road When your spirit left your body. And they told me on the front lawn. I'm sorry I couldn't go, But I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons. And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang Did you hear the fifty-nine sound coming through on grandmother's radio? Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls? Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over? Did you hear your favorite song one last time? Young boys, young girls, Young boys, young girls, Young boys, young girls, Young boys, young girls, Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night, Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night, Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night, Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night, Did you hear the fifty-nine sound coming through on grandfather's radio? Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls? Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over? Did you hear your favorite song one last time? Young boys, young girls, Young boys, young girls.
My dad just wrote a book before he dies about what life was like when he was a kid, born in 1942, graduated in 59-60. This song... rough... the '59 sound coming through grandfather's radio, when there's stories in the book about them getting electricity and finally a radio... Just hitting home making me cry, no lie. Mortality check please!
I live in the UK and I used to teach in the north of England. In the course of 2 years the school in which I taught lost 3 students to road crashes. Fast forward to June 2023.. Today we learned that a young guy of 21 who our eldest son used to play rugby with is now dead after a road accident last weekend " Young boys... Young girls... And they ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night" are very very hard lines to listen to. Rest in peace Jack
This band reminds me of all the things that I love about The Killers' album _Sam's Town_, just amped-up, more energetic, and better in general. Americana punk or something, I dunno. Really love this song.
@@Wulf425 Thank you. I'm sure it's already a thing, because music is crazy and literally every idea these days has a sound to go along with it, but I'll take the credit xD . I'm just a big fan of the sound in general.
@@Wulf425 That's a great description too, honestly. The Boss had a lot of sounds he used, as well as a lot of energy, and that crosses over really nicely with this sound. I could easily make a playlist with a Gaslight song immediately following a Springsteen song. Hell, that'd be great.
My best friend took his own life 15 years ago. Even though I don't recall ever listening to this song together, the band's whole aesthetic was right up his alley and I always think about him when I listen to this. RIP Ian.
My dad was sick 7 months. The morning he died I wasn't able to be with him. I listened to this song on repeat for those 7 months and the morning he died I asked my brother to play his favorite songs. I hope he heard his favorite songs as he passed.
My childhood best friend died recently. I've had this song on repeat all night while digging through my old stuff trying to find a keychain he gave me years ago. Couldn't find it, but did find photos
Some bands, they’re perfectly good, got some great songs, good albums etc. But then they just have that ONE. Where you go, “where the heck did they get that one from?! They caught lightning in a bottle”. Not because it’s better than everything else they’ve done. Because it’s better than everything almost anyone else has done as well. That’s this one for me.
I remember listening to this song over the Summer when a friend of mine passed away back in August of 2019. It sucks when the good die young especially at age 19. But thanks to this song I'll remember the memories I had when my friend asked me questions about what I did back in High School and many other things.
Like many, this song strikes a chord with me with a list loved one. My aunty M who was a force of nature , is who I'm reminded of when I hear this song. She encouraged my education, got me into shakespear and Dickens but also loved rock music (particularly queen) . I think she would have really enjoyed Fallon's lyricism here and his reference to A Christmas Carol here.
This song holds a special meaning to me. My dad died in 2009 at the age of 59. He was survived by his mom (my grandmother) and watching her deal with her son's death was as heartbreaking as losing my dad. She ended up in a hospital right after the funeral, but manage to gather strength to continue living. She died in 2018 at the age of 87: "Did you hear the '59 sound Coming through on Grandmama's radio? Did you hear the rattlin' chains In the hospital walls?"
What a rare find, seriously i needed this song in my life. being fired from my job today and thinking what Im going to do to stay in school. hearing this song while I broke things in my apartment and just started to paint. love this song.
Always makes me think of you Tim... it's been 13 years now and I still can't believe it. So sad that you'll never get to hear awesome music like this, I know you'd love it.
I have so many cynical cultural world view opinions I could spew onto this reply. Instead however I will just say that I appreciate your comment whole heartedly.
becuase music about ass sells better. the music industy is so terrible and loaded with garbage right now that you really have to look to find gems like these guys
It's been six years since I heard this song for the first time, and I'm honestly shocked how much everything has changed in that time. And when hearing the news of TGA going on "hiatus" or break or whatever we want to call it, I'm truthfully sad and wishing the best for those jersey boys.
I hear the 59 sound coming through my fathers radio. If it was my grandmothers radio it'd have to go back a little further than that haha Hell the 59 sound comes out my radio lol Brian Fallon is a good kid with great musical talent! Gaslight/HC is the only band(s) out making sense right now. Keep it up guys!
Lost my friends younger brother Christmas morning 2016. They are celebrating him this weekend. I was listening to Pandora and this song grabbed my attention. I got chills and everything went silent. I'm taking this really hard. even more so because I can't be there. it's so ironic that he od on Saturday and was dead by Saturday. I am so heartbroken. thanks for a great song.
I lost my nanna to cancer,she was basically my best friend growing up. And now I'm going through it all again, my 5 year old nephew who I love the bones of has terminal cancer. I fucking hate this world at times.
You can either keep listening to your meaningless 'ringtone' over-rated and overplayed songs or you can understand music brilliance and listen to this band and appreciate genius- LOVE THEM
wow i didnt realize how many of the comments would be similar to mine, but one of my childhood friends died the same week i first heard this song, and every time i hear it i think of her. to this day i still cant sing along without crying, which kinda sucks cuz this is such a great singalong, probably the last Great rock n roll anthem (no pun intended)

11 years later and this entire album is still a goddamn masterpiece.
Wow, I've just listened for first time in years and still sounds great, a very underrated album
To be honest, every year I like the reverb effect less and less.
Do most masterpieces stop being masterpieces after 11 years?? LOL
agreed!
@@hrotha how can you tell the reverb? I don’t notice that I think

This broke my heart. I'm so sorry for your loss, and I cannot begin to imagine the pain you feel. I found out your son still has his music up on soundcloud and youtube. I'm going to listen to him, and remember him.
I’m going through my own mental health issues right now and love this song. You’re not alone girl. Music seems to get ya through. Love and prayers sent.

Joel Pritchard That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I think everyone has a song that hits a little too close to home, but we're glad that it does.
Joel Pritchard is it a real story? keep chin up!!
+Joel Pritchard That took guts, buddy. Thanks for sharing. Best to you and your son.
+Joel Pritchard that's heavy dude. It brought me to tears. Keep strong and thanks for sharing your your story
I hope you and your son will be happy every single day in your life
My cousin, who was pretty much a sister to me, died in a car accident back in December and this song describes how I feel so perfectly. It's been almost a year to the date now and I still listen to this song whenever I really miss her. I really hope that she wasn't scared when it happened... I often find myself thinking of her last conscious moments on Earth and if she did hear her favourite song one last time.
Im know this is years later but Im sure she heard your thoughts and loved that you thought about her so fondly. take care
A couple months ago I lost a good friend to a fentanyl OD he and 2 others passed in an apartment I’m still not so sure what really happened I been coming back to this song I hope he was able to pass peacefully tho it’s not likely, your comment reminded me we’re not alone in this cruel and unfair world❤️😔

Ah fuck listen usually I'm an ass but honestly I feel for you apart from that skill issue honestly 😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Every Gaslight Anthem song I hear fills me with overwhelming nostalgia. My faintest memories glow in a powerful light of divine beauty. Times gone by that I don't even remember call me with a siren's song. I remember everything as it once was, in glory far surpassing reality, and I vow never to forget. Because in the end, memories are all we have.
I cannot believe this comment has had no likes for six years, this is the best description of this band I've ever read.
"Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over? Did you hear your favourite song one last time?" It seems so fitting. Beautiful.
This album is in my top 10 in the history of rock. It's so good it makes me want to cry
I haven't heard this song or even thought about it in about 10 years. I just left a memorial for a friend that passed. All I've thought about all day while being there was this song.
I'm now sitting at a barstool at the bar I work at, alone, and just playing this on repeat. It hurts a lot, but I finally get to sit alone and think of him and place the song that fits.
It's 2023 and we're a week out from a new Gaslight album. I've listened to this song thousands of times and hope I'll listen to it thousands more times. I probably spent 70 bucks on TGA albums and have thousands of hours with them as the soundtrack of life. Love these guys.
the melody is really upbeat but the lyrics are surprisingly sad and yet they work together beautifully
I listened to this song over and over when my old man passed away. really helped get me through those raw times. I'm glad they wrote this song.
I'm glad it helped. I think it's a good song for those times in life where you're face to face with death or tragedy.
You should ponder the rattling chains, and hope for the old gospel choir, for yourself and for everybody.
SwitcherooU
Gaslight has got you mate.
Same when my mom died. It should have been like pouring salt in an open wound, but instead it was like pouring Neosporin in.
I'm glad that there's still bands out there practicing real rock and roll.
Haven't heard this for years.......tears!
Heard this live about 3 hours ago. The level of connection in that venue was electric. Everyone seated stood without prompt. For a moment, we all understood each other.
Try this. ua-cam.com/video/gun47t0hFIY/v-deo.html
No matter how many thousands of times I have listened to this song, it gets me EVERY time. So stunningly beautiful, haunting and upbeat, all rolled into one.
My cousin, my first best friend and constant companion as a kid, died in a car accident literally down the street from my house, 13 years ago today.
This has been her song since. I listen to it on this day every year and it never fails to bring me to tears.
I love you, Beth. I can’t wait to see you again. ❤
Missing my father who passed away last month.Love you dad.
He loved you too, he's proud of the person you've become.
R.I.P. 🌅❤️🌹
God bless you, fellow traveler.
Hope he heard his favorite song one last time
yawara600 Sorrow to hear about your loss. 😢
I used to work with Alex Rosamilla during the fun days at Guitar Center!!! Happy to know he DID QUITE WELL FOR HIMSELF!!!
This song hit so many feels. My best friend died in a car accident on a Saturday night. Just reminds of then. However, the tempo and upbeat of the song reminds me of all the good memories and times.
My condolences.
This reminds me of my boyfriend that passed away a year ago suddenly. He would love this. Thank you. 🙏🏻
This song really hits me, reminds me of my Mom's passing, thank you!!

Just lost both of my great grandparents about a week ago. My great grandpa got into a car wreck and ever since then his health declined. This song takes on a whole new meaning after their death and I will forever miss my great grandmama and great grandfather. Thank you, Gaslight Anthem, this song has been helping me through these hard times.
this song is pure genius it captures the soul of america and artists like bruce springstein but its amazing what a bit of speed can do to a song love the pace of it.one of the greatest rock ballads ever made.
This helped me when my oldest grandfather died 9 years ago. 11 years still very good.
Very nice song.
Neil Clark Sorry to hear about your loss. 😢
had listened to this song a lot before. my grandpa had a heart attack but looked like he was going to be fine so i didn't make the trip up to my hometown to visit then he died in hospital. went back for the funeral. Was still processing and hadn't cried until a month later when i was sitting outside at a cafe and this song came on my mp3 player.
Still in my top 3 favorite albums in all of music. Holy shit
This song is so sad, I almost can't get through it without crying. It reminds me of my nephew who was killed in a car crash, and he called my mom, "grandmama". It crushes my heart every time I hear it, but I can't stop listening to it. It brings me closer to him, and my mom.
I'm an old guy and saw these guys at Lollapalooza several years ago. This song is beautiful and I make sure to listen to my favorite song at least once a week. Absolutely fantastic, it was great live !
Sometimes things come Together for a reason, This song, The lyrics the tempo the video the feeling, This is as perfect as it gets Brian Fallon is a Genius
Heard this at the pub the other night. Absolutely wicked! Must have listened to it a hundred times since. Can't get enough of it!
I just bought concert tickets for 2024 and I’m excited af 😄😍
I never expected ti grow up with this song or this band. They mean so much to me these days and have really captured departing innocence. I first heard this song when i was 13, im 23 now and the meaning has changed fron then to now but the massage is the same to me. Brian, please regroup with your bandmates and make another album. You are all always going on tour together just make it official please!
Just listened to this song on repeat for awhile, it also reminds of my Dad's death.

Quality song. Quality lyrics. Quality melody. Quality singing. Just quality.
Over and over again this song nails it
38 years old and this is my favourite band ever!!
This song means so much to me. Since 2 days my grandmother (the only grandparent i have left) aged 86 had to go to the hospital.Due Corona i'm not able to visit her. I've sent her this song. Ty Brian, Ty gaslight
Gaslight just announced they're getting back together, gonna be touring again and are writing a new album!!
You just wanted to be first, didn't you?

Amazing song... heard it on my alt rock soundtrack and I am hooked all over again.
this song reminds me of my grandpa. i miss ya pop's
T-T
I don't know how I only discovered this song within the past week but holy HELL is it ever as perfect a song that I've ever heard, that chorus is gonna stay with me
"I was playin' a show down the road when your spirit left your body." God. It gives me chills. Every fucking time.
just got chills listening to this song and I've listened to it hundreds of times before. I will never forget the first time I heard this song it was amazing
There are a lot of songs I love, but this is the one that personally resonates emotionally so deeply that I wish I had written it.
R.I.P., Rose. You'd be turning 35 this week...in all likelihood we'd have lost touch by now, but I'm sure you'd have turned into an incredible woman. The world (and my world) would be better off if you were still a small part of it.
The lyrics are beyond brilliant and heartfelt....just amazing.
2022 and this song still gets me every time.
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.
When we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.
'Cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life,
The chains I been hearing now for most of my life.
Did you hear the fifty-nine Sound coming through on grandmother's radio?
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?
And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
See, I was playing a show down the road
When your spirit left your body.
And they told me on the front lawn.
I'm sorry I couldn't go,
But I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons.
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
Did you hear the fifty-nine sound coming through on grandmother's radio?
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?
Young boys, young girls,
Young boys, young girls,
Young boys, young girls,
Young boys, young girls,
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night,
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night,
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night,
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night,
Did you hear the fifty-nine sound coming through on grandfather's radio?
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?
Young boys, young girls,
Young boys, young girls.
Saw them 2 nights ago with husband. Awesome show!!! ❤
Its 2019 and still come back to this album. Frigging awesome
I went to one of their concerts with my family and it was absolutely amazing
My dad just wrote a book before he dies about what life was like when he was a kid, born in 1942, graduated in 59-60. This song... rough... the '59 sound coming through grandfather's radio, when there's stories in the book about them getting electricity and finally a radio... Just hitting home making me cry, no lie. Mortality check please!
words can't quite express my feelings but this song is the real deal and I say that very rarely these days.
I have never heard of this band before. I don't know why, they are great!
This is probably among the greatest songs ever written, just saying...
ChrisYaNeighbor this dude is a superb lyricist and story teller. Is a wonder Springsteen and Ness love this kid
You can remove the "probably" from that sentence.

Oh. I thought it was just a tribute...
You think it's great because you're young. I listen to this at mid 30s and laugh
I live in the UK and I used to teach in the north of England. In the course of 2 years the school in which I taught lost 3 students to road crashes. Fast forward to June 2023.. Today we learned that a young guy of 21 who our eldest son used to play rugby with is now dead after a road accident last weekend " Young boys... Young girls... And they ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night" are very very hard lines to listen to. Rest in peace Jack
This band reminds me of all the things that I love about The Killers' album _Sam's Town_, just amped-up, more energetic, and better in general. Americana punk or something, I dunno.
Really love this song.
Try listen Face to face - disconnected
"Americana Punk" is a perfect description.
@@Wulf425 Thank you. I'm sure it's already a thing, because music is crazy and literally every idea these days has a sound to go along with it, but I'll take the credit xD .
I'm just a big fan of the sound in general.
@@josephschultz3301 I was thinking of a similar description of the sound, Springsteen meets punk, something like that.
@@Wulf425 That's a great description too, honestly. The Boss had a lot of sounds he used, as well as a lot of energy, and that crosses over really nicely with this sound. I could easily make a playlist with a Gaslight song immediately following a Springsteen song.
Hell, that'd be great.
My best friend took his own life 15 years ago. Even though I don't recall ever listening to this song together, the band's whole aesthetic was right up his alley and I always think about him when I listen to this. RIP Ian.
Need more of this sound on the radio!
My dad was sick 7 months. The morning he died I wasn't able to be with him. I listened to this song on repeat for those 7 months and the morning he died I asked my brother to play his favorite songs. I hope he heard his favorite songs as he passed.
Goddamit, they've confirmed it... they're reforming! I am so happy about this news!
How does such a young band , hit such a universal nerve so well? I mean hit it hard.Well done , just so well done.
Brian is Hella gifted and my generations most prolific song writers.
Still a masterpiece even when it's 2020 love all of brians work
This song makes me weep for my older brother who left way too soon. I miss you JR.
This brings back so many memorie
this is real music
My childhood best friend died recently. I've had this song on repeat all night while digging through my old stuff trying to find a keychain he gave me years ago. Couldn't find it, but did find photos
Absolutely beautiful song. No justice that it hasnt got more views
That's funny, I just popped it open and the view count stuck out to me too. Amazing such a good song doesn't have more views after so many years.
Some bands, they’re perfectly good, got some great songs, good albums etc. But then they just have that ONE. Where you go, “where the heck did they get that one from?! They caught lightning in a bottle”.
Not because it’s better than everything else they’ve done. Because it’s better than everything almost anyone else has done as well. That’s this one for me.
I hate that I only recently heard about the Gaslight Anthem/Brian Fallon, I wish I had discovered these guys sooner, all their lyrics are so powerful
glad you discovered them !! Brian is a pure genius ... all he touches turns into gold...
I miss you, Low Rent. Gone but never forgotten.
I remember listening to this song over the Summer when a friend of mine passed away back in August of 2019. It sucks when the good die young especially at age 19. But thanks to this song I'll remember the memories I had when my friend asked me questions about what I did back in High School and many other things.
I miss days when i could really feel this.
This is one of the best songs of the 2000's. GA should have never left Side One Dummy.
Just an incredible song!!
Like many, this song strikes a chord with me with a list loved one. My aunty M who was a force of nature , is who I'm reminded of when I hear this song. She encouraged my education, got me into shakespear and Dickens but also loved rock music (particularly queen) . I think she would have really enjoyed Fallon's lyricism here and his reference to A Christmas Carol here.
This song is really emotional, great stuff. Glad their is still the select few that can make you experience that.
Red Violens got me into this band, but this song just gets their Playlist off to an amazing start.
I will never stop thinking about the last song my best friend heard before he passed.
This song holds a special meaning to me. My dad died in 2009 at the age of 59. He was survived by his mom (my grandmother) and watching her deal with her son's death was as heartbreaking as losing my dad. She ended up in a hospital right after the funeral, but manage to gather strength to continue living. She died in 2018 at the age of 87:
"Did you hear the '59 sound
Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
Did you hear the rattlin' chains
In the hospital walls?"
What a rare find, seriously i needed this song in my life. being fired from my job today and thinking what Im going to do to stay in school. hearing this song while I broke things in my apartment and just started to paint. love this song.
Always makes me think of you Tim... it's been 13 years now and I still can't believe it. So sad that you'll never get to hear awesome music like this, I know you'd love it.
going to see these in July can't wait
I love this, why cant we have more music with real meaning
I have so many cynical cultural world view opinions I could spew onto this reply. Instead however I will just say that I appreciate your comment whole heartedly.
+Matt Keller 👍
There is a lot of music with real meaning. You just have to look a little bit to find it.
becuase music about ass sells better. the music industy is so terrible and loaded with garbage right now that you really have to look to find gems like these guys
This song is absolutely amazing and a work of art. Whenever someone passes, it helps me cope.
Heard this song last week for the first time
Buried my grandmother today and I’ve had the lyrics in my head for the week
Teared up
It's been six years since I heard this song for the first time, and I'm honestly shocked how much everything has changed in that time. And when hearing the news of TGA going on "hiatus" or break or whatever we want to call it, I'm truthfully sad and wishing the best for those jersey boys.
Evan Teague they're back together. Even if it is just to celebrate this album.
I hear the 59 sound coming through my fathers radio. If it was my grandmothers radio it'd have to go back a little further than that haha Hell the 59 sound comes out my radio lol Brian Fallon is a good kid with great musical talent! Gaslight/HC is the only band(s) out making sense right now. Keep it up guys!
Lived a full life with no regrets..served my country and one day it will come...tbd.
"Did you hear your favourite song one last time?" oh gosh how much I love this line
the opening chords get me every time
My brother passed on Sat Aug 5th. In the ICU. This song will be for him.
Lost my friends younger brother Christmas morning 2016. They are celebrating him this weekend. I was listening to Pandora and this song grabbed my attention. I got chills and everything went silent. I'm taking this really hard. even more so because I can't be there. it's so ironic that he od on Saturday and was dead by Saturday. I am so heartbroken. thanks for a great song.
Whenever someone tells you they've been "gaslight" always come back to this song
Timeless song.
Gives me chills.
I lost my nanna to cancer,she was basically my best friend growing up. And now I'm going through it all again, my 5 year old nephew who I love the bones of has terminal cancer. I fucking hate this world at times.
45 years of losing friends, family...and mom. think of you daily.
You can either keep listening to your meaningless 'ringtone' over-rated and overplayed songs or you can understand music brilliance and listen to this band and appreciate genius- LOVE THEM
wow i didnt realize how many of the comments would be similar to mine, but one of my childhood friends died the same week i first heard this song, and every time i hear it i think of her. to this day i still cant sing along without crying, which kinda sucks cuz this is such a great singalong, probably the last Great rock n roll anthem (no pun intended)
