This is my the song I listen to when I need to remember why I'm sober. This song tells me what my life would have become if I hadn't quit. I am 9 months sober today and I attended my first AA meeting today (I know I'm Atypical). Thank you to the Lumineers for helping my live my sober life.
Lauren leaves the violin and plays the Piano, guy in front leaves the Accordion and goes to the drums, at 4:44 you see Lauren on drums and the guy on guitar and Jeremiah playing a Trambourine and he is using it to play the drums as well. WHAT THE HELLL.
I’m very fortunate that this song has no true relation to my life... yet I can’t help but cry my eyes out when I hear it. This performance is incredible. It’s so beautiful to see them get truly lost in the music. The drummer cannot stop smiling. It is obvious how much they enjoy playing together.
Everyone else in the band: *plays one (or maybe two) instrument and sings* Lauren, an intellectual: *plays the violin, the piano, the drums and sings in an unique perfomance*
Every night I saw you there In your old wicker chair Singing, ooh You were wrong, I was right Didn't matter in a fight Said, ooh Coffee mug filled it up Always knew what it was Sing, ooh Been on your side for years You could never love without crying, ooh Is she dead? Is she fine? Every day, every night Fate has dealt me a Lonely blow, I said Ooh Tried to help, but only hurt In the end I made it worse Ooh Is she dead? Is she fine? Every day, every night Give back my keys, give back my chair Take back those clothes you always left on the floor You drove me wild, drove me insane Drank the whole bottle, forgot my name All I ever wanted was a mother for the first time Finally I could see you as the leader of the landslide She left, she left, the writing's on the wall Please believe me, I smell the alcohol The only thing I know is that we're in too deep And maybe when she's dead and gone I'll get some sleep You blamed it all on your kids We were young, we were innocent You told me a lie, fuck you for that Fuck all your pride and fuck all your prayers And all this time I waited for a fool and for the first Finally I can see you as the leader of the landslide She left, she left, the writing's on the wall Please believe me, don't answer when she calls The only thing I know is that we're in too deep And maybe when she's dead and gone I'll get some sleep Out there on my own I was feeling so alone Like a poltergeist in the afterlife Fading by degrees, I was shaking in the knees In the aftermath of this broken glass Oh Oh Oh
It wasn't until this album that I realized how much I've got going on below what I show everyone in my everyday life. How many feelings I've repressed to try and be strong whilst helping the people I care about most, people who need help, help that I'm not sure I can give but I try anyway. I don't think people understand the toll that helping someone through things like suicide or depression or self harm actually takes on the person trying to help. I wouldn't change a thing on earth because fortunately I haven't lost those I've been helping but I really didn't realize the damage the whole thing has left on my own mind. This album spoke to a part of me I didn't know existed, and now I can see that I'm not the only person going through whatever that feeling is. I thought it was selfish to feel hurt and drained and in pain when I'm not the person going through the events my friends have. I'm just the helper. I'm aware I'm just rambling now and I'm not sure if any of that made sense but I needed to write that down. Thank you to everyone involved in making this album and to anyone going through anything in life that you feel is getting to you - without sounding cliche - please talk to someone.
It is emotionally draining and very exhausting to be someone else's strength. It takes a huge toll when you're trying so hard to prevent the people you love from drowning in their misery. Please take care of you, too.
I know it sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo hullabaloo, I get it lol, but we really do absorb the energy of the people we surround ourselves with. Make sure you try and take the time to surround yourself with positive people who lift you up, instead of you expending all of your energy trying to lift up the people who are struggling so much. There are a lot of good people still in this world, you just have to do a little digging to find them! God Bless you hon
Taylor Rooke Thank you, for allowing yourself to be vulnerable on this platform, everything you said is valid and I truly hope you continue to be vulnerable and extend self-compassion toward yourself! You deserve love, care, and to be heard too! May you be happy and filled with love!
Me: I have a lot of things to do, I need to stop procrastinating and think about a future Also me: *is the first one to watch the Lumineers' new live and replays it for almost one hour*
You described my whole childhood in just 6 minutes. I love you. Always have. Always will. You are the best band ever. Thank you for being my outlet. Wish you'll have a concert here in the philippines. 🙏
At almost 45 and a child growing up with an alcoholic parent, mental health issues and violence. I first heard this song it stopped me dead, fucking broke my heart and made me cry.
As the eldest daughter of a mother that's battled bipolar disorder for the majority of my life, I can resonate with so many parts of this song... The anger and resentment you feel toward the person... Even though you know sometimes the illness or vice gets the best of them and they're battling it as well, it still doesn't take the anger and frustration away from having to receive the repercussions of their illness. For so many years, I've been so mad at my mom for treating me like a piece of garbage even though I've been there for her through it all. I've felt so alone and sad so many times because I've felt like the only person in the world going through something like that. But, this album has showed me that I'm not. Thank you Wes and Jer for being so raw and real with us. It's not easy but it feels so good to know others are going through the same thing you are. It makes you feel a lot less alone.
I feel that. My mother never was diagnosed with anything, and to this day denies that there is anything wrong with her, but her issues have impacted the rest of the family. Her mom was the same way, and her grandmother had her mom in prison. It was so tough growing up because we looked like the perfect family from the outside but I was trapped. This album, and especially this song, hit hard.
My bf has also gone through similar issues to me with his parents, though both of them are genuinely loving and sweet but obviously rather flawed, he hasn't come to terms with it as much as I have though, I can't even really work up a therapeutic anger anymore. I wish he would let the anger go but he has to choose to do it. You would think that it is obvious his parents love him would make it easier but it is the opposite. He feels more cheated than I ever felt, I have long felt grateful for the times I did have when it was before it all blew up. I have given up on trying to help my mother, even if she does go to rehab it's to pretend she's not in order to get her way and any money comes to her hands goes to waste even when it meant we as her children wondered where our next meal would come from. It's not even her anymore, it is the disease, my mother is gone. She should have sat us down and told us she was no good for us before she left so we wouldn't blame ourselves but she didn't. I have had time to come to terms with this and have actively done so. I have adopted his mother as my new mother figure, I have never felt more welcome in a home or more appreciated. I think because he never had them just straight dip he feels a lot more angry than I do, also they put more pressure on him than my parents would ever dream of but I think it is because it is their dream and they don't see it as pressure and he is very smart. When somebody is straight up not there and could not give a hoot what is going with you when they told you they loved you and you were pretty sure that was real you do get really angry and sad but it is easier to let go. I had that phase, that angry sad why did you do this to me phase, it profoundly affected me. I would not speak to her. It still does, but I got really sick once. I thought I would die and when I was better I wanted my life to better and the things I wanted to happen, so I did it. I did a lot of talking about what had happened and got more info from my brother- who had always protected us- and realized nothing was about me and we do make things work without her, though it was really hard for a long time with my dad who being dad does not come naturally to being a single dad and all of the fallout from him not knowing what to do or how to be supportive and struggling himself. I knew being angry only let it hold me back. So I decided to let the anger go and I found peace. She's told me about her childhood. It was a nightmare. She never got over it. She wanted a better life but she couldn't do it. Really should have gone to therapy. I would sit and listen to her tell her stories but I could never help her move on from them. My bfs parents are like too parental but now that he is an adult and we are adults they have eased back and while he is still dealing with the problems they gave him- like anxiety- they respect him and I and I have never been treated in such a motherly way as when I go see his mother and it has been very healing for me, although it used to be difficult for me to go see them because I was afraid they would not like me. No, they don't like his ex though. Also a lingering thing is I am very seldom comfortable around new people and have a hard time trusting them/ expecting anything. She gives thoughtful gifts and helped me make my first pie ever, which is something obviously most people do with their own moms. I actually got her some stuff for mother's day. I don't get my mom anything for mother's day.
I hope you have some kind of family at your back. Being with my bf for 4 years has given me a support system I never had before. I do not understand why everyone so hates their in laws. We think very differently but she has never done anything but accept me (cannot say the same for my bf but they have come to terms with who he is), and every time I go to their house I want to be there the whole day. This reminds me that I have been meaning to get them a new couch. They are sit at the kitchen table type people and there is not a comfortable couch to be had.
Truly incredible how much this song just resonates with innocence, love, and depression. I am a 26 year old man that cries every time I hear it, no history of alcoholism in the family but just how beautiful he explains this story with such a blissful voice, I simply cannot help myself
"You could never love without crying" is such a beautiful line. As an alcoholic, I poured out my heart with the liquor. It was the only way I could get the feelings out. And it usually ended up hurting a lot of other people's as well. The Lumineers really get it.
It's like someone finally got it, understood what all of us went through, and made it into wonderful music. That right there, if you've actually LIVED THIS, that song is nothing short of magic.
You have been the soundtrack of the happiest years and moments of my life while abroad in Australia, and every song brings me back there. It was 2013 but feels like yesterday.
Same for me while I was in Australia in 2016. Cleopatra was such an amazing album to travel with. I hope you can go back to Australia one day and experience that beauty again with The Lumineers as a soundtrack to your adventures.
My grandma battled alcoholism for decades until it finally killed her. She was financially able to support her addiction so she didn’t end up homeless but it took a toll on our whole family. I hope you’re able to find some peace. The new album is fantastic.
My dad is living with us now after losing everything to alcoholism; his health, his job of 30+ years, his money, and his family. We'll never understand.
my mother wasn’t an alcoholic but she was very emotionally and mentally abusive. i moved out at 17 as a byproduct from it, and this song hits so many small details from my experience with moving out and dealing with the aftermath of that relationship. it will probably always be my favorite song, alone with donna and gloria.
I can’t stop watching this, I’m going to see them in November and I can’t wait! It’s rare to find musicians who can play better live! It’s also refreshing to see musicians who love playing their music and put everything into their performances. Love from Scotland
My family didn't deal with alcoholism, but rather drug abuse. I dont talk to my mom and An album has never hit me so hard. What a work of art..thank you lumineers.
Your music touched me the moment I first heard your voice. Your without a doubt my musical soulmate. Thank you for making your beautiful music. Looking forward to seeing you live in Boston this June 2020. It's all I wanted for my 40th Birthday.
Still in love with this song. Dont know how many times ive been listening to it. Its my favorite song in their new album. It speaks so much about the struggle. And i can relate because i also had someone in my life who struggled with the same thing. But she recovered. Everything gets better guys. So if you are in a dark place or someone you love is, believe me, it gets better.
The rhythm and energy of The Lumineers will always be my favourite thing about them. Saw the at the Sydney Opera House a few years back and it was honestly an experience I will never forget. The greatest moment was when the did an acoustic cover of “Ho Hey” in the middle of their set. It just goes to show that they don’t rely on one of their greatest hits to end a show, because they know the worth of all their songs!!
When first I heard this song it hit hard and I could finally cry and “feel” the emotions that have been building up since I could remember. This song gave validity to those emotions. Growing up in a family of addicts and now trying to “help” them leaves no room to “feel” or even be a normal person. I’m still working on the “normal person ” part. It’s hard man….
I just wanna hug him. I wanna hug the little boy that survived that and grew to be the man that tried so hard to help. I also want to hug his mom. Her demons must be pretty fierce to pull her away from the ones that love her most.
Not one comment regarding Byron Isaacs excellent background vocals - he's such an insane background vocalist that adds such a fine layer to Wesley's fine ass voice.
I cannot stop listening to this song, vacuuming after close, dancing the thing around in the roar, singing. Always comes up in my mix. My leader of the landslide just got evicted by her ex, came sniffing in our yard and did not get what she wanted. Didn't even say hello to me. Pretty triumphant in that I have never let her drag me down. Still hard not to wonder what she's getting up to- gotta tell you, it's never rehab. My favorite part was getting a letter when I turned 18 informing me I had 5 dollars in my college fund. Thanks.
Such a powerful song. Definitely better live than the album. “Out there on my own I was feeling so alone “. This song brings me chills every time I listen to it!
You blamed it on your kids we were young we were innocent is the part always makes me crack, losing my mom at a very young age and being stuck with a alcoholic father who thought the cure was at the bottom of a whiskey bottle.. thank you for this song, listening to it is like someone stroking my hair gently and telling me it’s gonna be okay at the end. Thank you.
My goodness how can heartbreak create such beautiful symphony? Thank you for sharing your hurt, there is great power in vulnerability and self-awareness. I think this is by far one of the best performances I've ever seen, it put me to tears.
Masterpeice! Incredible writing. This song touches deep in my soul and hits so many emotions! It moves me in everyway!! I love this band and all of their songs... I have so many favorites from their collection. I cant wait for more. But this song is the one I cant stop listening to. I love every chord, every melody, the beat, and the words. This song really hits home. And I love how happy Jerimiah is and how contagious his smile is, along with the brilliance of the entire band. I just can't get enough of them. Love, love, love The Lumineers!!!!! ❤️ I appreciate each and everyone of you. Thank you for sharing your talent!!!
The musical Y'all have made has not only been big in my life, But my whole family's. My brother use to play the first album on road trips, and please know every road trip or five minute trip, your songs are played and felt so deeply. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this sad yet beautiful song. I'm from Louisville KY. Every family I know , including my own have been affected by acahol and drug abuse in some way. This very special song says it all. Fear, desperasion and anger of dealing with an addict. Thanks again.
What I love The Lumineers is they keep doing the same soul in their songs. We can just realize the first verse of their songs that is The Lumineers’ songs. The melody, the lyrics and everything gets me all the time. LOVE 🖤
Gawd I wish you would release a DVD of the entire Mission concert. I want to relive that one over and over. But I am just happy to have been there at all!
I've felt lucky my whole adult life that my alcoholic father hasn't contacted me. Then again, I am not sure he knows who I am. Thank you, Lumineers, for writing our experiences so beautifully
Is it me or Leader of the Landslide hit the most?
Definitely
150 percent
Definitely does
Always hits hard.
The Lumineers hit the most... at least 6 songs make me instantly tear up. Not enough good music nowadays and they never disappoint
When your live performances sound almost exactly like the studio versions, you know you’re mad talented.
Dead right, Danya 😊
True
Not to discount their abilities...but as a guitar player, I can tell you that their songs are generally quite easy to play.
@@ziksy6460 because they are not a jazz band; they write with simplicity to convey messages, creating is the hard part, not recreating. :)
Or that you don't over produce the studio versions...
as an adult child of an alcoholic, no song has ever resonated with me as deeply as this one has. hats off to this group of incredible artists
Baileyy M damn right. We are on the same phase
I broke down into tears when I first heard this song. I felt like it cut deep into my soul. We are not alone
Yes!!
As an adult child of alcoholics who is an alcoholic this hits hard
As an adult child of an adult child who’s an alcoholic this hits hard
This is my the song I listen to when I need to remember why I'm sober. This song tells me what my life would have become if I hadn't quit. I am 9 months sober today and I attended my first AA meeting today (I know I'm Atypical). Thank you to the Lumineers for helping my live my sober life.
It’s clear that Wesley loses himself in this song...Music with meaning.
3:40 - "Drank the whole bottle, forgot my name" - That's a great, painful line
Lauren leaves the violin and plays the Piano, guy in front leaves the Accordion and goes to the drums, at 4:44 you see Lauren on drums and the guy on guitar and Jeremiah playing a Trambourine and he is using it to play the drums as well. WHAT THE HELLL.
The fact that you were paying attention to anything other than the. song
guy in front leaves the Accordion and goes to the "piano"
All I ever wanted was a mother for the first time , finally I can see you as the leader of the Landslide
I’m very fortunate that this song has no true relation to my life... yet I can’t help but cry my eyes out when I hear it. This performance is incredible. It’s so beautiful to see them get truly lost in the music. The drummer cannot stop smiling. It is obvious how much they enjoy playing together.
Not a word of this song relates to my life, but i get chills everytime i hear it. Good song, great album!!
Binayak Bhattarai you’re lucky.
lol same but I love it sm
same 🥺
No matter how many times you listen to this, it’ll move you every time
Everyone else in the band: *plays one (or maybe two) instrument and sings*
Lauren, an intellectual: *plays the violin, the piano, the drums and sings in an unique perfomance*
The Gloria reprise in this song makes me cry a tiny bit every time
yessss like the sleep on the floor verse in life in the city..(although life in the city was written first lol)
EmiRachelNatalie I had no idea Life in the City was written first!
Every night I saw you there
In your old wicker chair
Singing, ooh
You were wrong, I was right
Didn't matter in a fight
Said, ooh
Coffee mug filled it up
Always knew what it was
Sing, ooh
Been on your side for years
You could never love without crying, ooh
Is she dead? Is she fine?
Every day, every night
Fate has dealt me a
Lonely blow, I said
Ooh
Tried to help, but only hurt
In the end I made it worse
Ooh
Is she dead? Is she fine?
Every day, every night
Give back my keys, give back my chair
Take back those clothes you always left on the floor
You drove me wild, drove me insane
Drank the whole bottle, forgot my name
All I ever wanted was a mother for the first time
Finally I could see you as the leader of the landslide
She left, she left, the writing's on the wall
Please believe me, I smell the alcohol
The only thing I know is that we're in too deep
And maybe when she's dead and gone I'll get some sleep
You blamed it all on your kids
We were young, we were innocent
You told me a lie, fuck you for that
Fuck all your pride and fuck all your prayers
And all this time I waited for a fool and for the first
Finally I can see you as the leader of the landslide
She left, she left, the writing's on the wall
Please believe me, don't answer when she calls
The only thing I know is that we're in too deep
And maybe when she's dead and gone I'll get some sleep
Out there on my own I was feeling so alone
Like a poltergeist in the afterlife
Fading by degrees, I was shaking in the knees
In the aftermath of this broken glass
Oh
Oh
Oh
thank you! lol

Annel Moreno I’m going through this exact thing with my mom being ill. She’s so abusive to me. You’re not alone. Sending love
You`re not, we live in different parts of the world but we sure feel the same when people like us hear songs like that :)

Uma das minhas favoritas do álbum.
“She left, she left...”
É linda mesmo
Minha favorita tb. Ela e my cell!!
muito bonita mesmo
Me emociona tanto essa música, me diz tanto ... ♥️🌩️
Tão bom ver brasileiros aqui apreciando essa arte

This song hits close to home I broke down into tears the first time I heard it
Love this amazing song
Helping me come to terms with my mother

This is even better than the studio version!
Clorox Wipes HELL YEAH IT IS
Leader of the Landslide, Donna, Jimmy Sparks, and Gloria is 🔥🔥🔥
My dad is living with us now after losing everything to alcoholism; his health, his job of 30+ years, his money, and his family. We'll never understand.
This is one of my favorites from the new album - your live performance of it made me cry. Can't wait to see you live in Grand Rapids!
We love the Lumineers, their clean, dry, retrò style.
Jeremiah and Wes did a great job in the studio.
my mother wasn’t an alcoholic but she was very emotionally and mentally abusive. i moved out at 17 as a byproduct from it, and this song hits so many small details from my experience with moving out and dealing with the aftermath of that relationship. it will probably always be my favorite song, alone with donna and gloria.
today is my little brother’s birthday . he passed away when he was 3. when i listen to the lumineers, i think of him.
I thank God and life for *The Lumineers* 💕
I can’t stop watching this, I’m going to see them in November and I can’t wait! It’s rare to find musicians who can play better live! It’s also refreshing to see musicians who love playing their music and put everything into their performances. Love from Scotland
Seriously, how could you know my life so well that you wrote about it????
2:44 is the sweet spot of this performance
My family didn't deal with alcoholism, but rather drug abuse. I dont talk to my mom and An album has never hit me so hard. What a work of art..thank you lumineers.
Was going to try watching a few different live versions of this but I don’t think I need to anymore. It can’t get any better than this
Drinking to this song while grilling in the rain, great night!
Your music touched me the moment I first heard your voice. Your without a doubt my musical soulmate. Thank you for making your beautiful music. Looking forward to seeing you live in Boston this June 2020. It's all I wanted for my 40th Birthday.
Still in love with this song. Dont know how many times ive been listening to it. Its my favorite song in their new album. It speaks so much about the struggle. And i can relate because i also had someone in my life who struggled with the same thing. But she recovered. Everything gets better guys. So if you are in a dark place or someone you love is, believe me, it gets better.
The rhythm and energy of The Lumineers will always be my favourite thing about them. Saw the at the Sydney Opera House a few years back and it was honestly an experience I will never forget. The greatest moment was when the did an acoustic cover of “Ho Hey” in the middle of their set. It just goes to show that they don’t rely on one of their greatest hits to end a show, because they know the worth of all their songs!!
When first I heard this song it hit hard and I could finally cry and “feel” the emotions that have been building up since I could remember. This song gave validity to those emotions.
Growing up in a family of addicts and now trying to “help” them leaves no room to “feel” or even be a normal person. I’m still working on the “normal person ” part. It’s hard man….
I just wanna hug him. I wanna hug the little boy that survived that and grew to be the man that tried so hard to help. I also want to hug his mom. Her demons must be pretty fierce to pull her away from the ones that love her most.
One of my favorite track
On that album .
Not one comment regarding Byron Isaacs excellent background vocals - he's such an insane background vocalist that adds such a fine layer to Wesley's fine ass voice.
I cannot stop listening to this song, vacuuming after close, dancing the thing around in the roar, singing. Always comes up in my mix.
My leader of the landslide just got evicted by her ex, came sniffing in our yard and did not get what she wanted. Didn't even say hello to me. Pretty triumphant in that I have never let her drag me down. Still hard not to wonder what she's getting up to- gotta tell you, it's never rehab.
My favorite part was getting a letter when I turned 18 informing me I had 5 dollars in my college fund. Thanks.
This song tears us to pieces.
EU TO SURTANDO!!!!!! essa musica é perfeita e a voz do wesley mais ainda
Wow ... so great when you see a band take it to a whole new level.
Wow... this song has grown on me so much in the past few weeks
All I ever wanted was a mother for the first time hit differently..
Amo demais 😍😍😍😍😍😍💙🇧🇷
Such a powerful song. Definitely better live than the album. “Out there on my own I was feeling so alone “. This song brings me chills every time I listen to it!
You changed my life, love u ❤️
how did they change your life?
You blamed it on your kids we were young we were innocent is the part always makes me crack, losing my mom at a very young age and being stuck with a alcoholic father who thought the cure was at the bottom of a whiskey bottle.. thank you for this song, listening to it is like someone stroking my hair gently and telling me it’s gonna be okay at the end. Thank you.
That last part really gets me!!!
It makes me cryyyy
This is their best song
Their music makes me cry...it makes feel so much through few minutes.. incredible artists
The song saved my life
Everyone in the band can play the piano. Very impressive ssive.
I've always loved this song but now I know why 😥
I can relate to this so much. This song hits home
I love Wesley's songwriting. His lyrics and melodies really hit home with me. Good stuff. 👌🎼🎸
I was blessed enough to be there for my birthday!!
My goodness how can heartbreak create such beautiful symphony?
Thank you for sharing your hurt, there is great power in vulnerability and self-awareness.
I think this is by far one of the best performances I've ever seen, it put me to tears.
Thank you for writing this song...
Wesley Schultz is a talented guy, and his vocals are dang good!
Спасибо вам за вас!!!

Masterpeice! Incredible writing. This song touches deep in my soul and hits so many emotions! It moves me in everyway!! I love this band and all of their songs... I have so many favorites from their collection. I cant wait for more. But this song is the one I cant stop listening to. I love every chord, every melody, the beat, and the words. This song really hits home.
And I love how happy Jerimiah is and how contagious his smile is, along with the brilliance of the entire band. I just can't get enough of them.
Love, love, love The Lumineers!!!!! ❤️
I appreciate each and everyone of you. Thank you for sharing your talent!!!
This band is a gift to humanity ❤
I’m literally bawling: so relatable it hurts

Me gusta mucho ésta Banda, Saludos desde El Salvador :'D
Lost my brother to alcoholism. This songs hits me hard
Has to be the best song on the album.
Thank you so much for this sad yet beautiful song. I'm from Louisville KY. Every family I know , including my own have been affected by acahol and drug abuse in some way. This very special song says it all. Fear, desperasion and anger of dealing with an addict. Thanks again.
Thank you
Gys please come to Brazil, we love u ❤️❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷
What I love The Lumineers is they keep doing the same soul in their songs. We can just realize the first verse of their songs that is The Lumineers’ songs.
The melody, the lyrics and everything gets me all the time.
LOVE 🖤
Gawd I wish you would release a DVD of the entire Mission concert. I want to relive that one over and over. But I am just happy to have been there at all!
Here I am listening to this song waiting for 2021
I've felt lucky my whole adult life that my alcoholic father hasn't contacted me. Then again, I am not sure he knows who I am.
Thank you, Lumineers, for writing our experiences so beautifully
Your live performances are super awesome as always and so touching! Keep up the good work you guys are doing for us and the Community!!!
in love
So beautiful
