Never have a song been played so many times and still not feel boring
It was my top listened song on Spotify and I was wondering how. You are right you don't get bored of it.
This is still the most beautiful song ever. The one that makes me miss my friends, and the one that makes me hope someone is here still after me, listening to this, and immersing into beautiful thoughts with this song, hopefully into thoughts including that perception of me who loved this song and missed my friends
Me too, this song is so amazing ❤
Ocean inbetween the waves. Also great song
I streamed this song over 5k times in 2022 according to apple
Lost in the dream is arguably the best album of this decade.
Not arguably
@@31alking not at all
The guitar riff + the keyboard during the chorus just kills it... brilliant
Samuel Morris-Rosenstein yep
The Drummer is absolutely creasing me with his facial expressions, love it best band band I've heard for ages
Man his drummer face cracks me up in all their kexp live performances. Esp their recent set for greater understanding album. Man kills it though.
dont think you understand how it feels to singe that shit in behind a tight ass band, such a great feeling....
He knows he's creating magic that touches people's soul. When this song really gets going you know it can something special.
9 years on and I still play this track on repeat. Such a wonderfully crafted song, forever one of my favourites
Absolutely, great song .
I just can't believe how brilliant this song is!
Told the same thing after the third time ive heard this song.
The drummer's facial expressions are my favorite :)
Like an SNL sketch......the faces he makes
Feeling every part of the music
Anna McMurdie sometimes when i look št him he seems like a magician with a magic stick
Guitarist's great too:)
Lol, he was feeling it, Or he was on something.
This is so magical, Feels so euphoric
his guitar solos hit the spot every time!!
they've got to be one of the most underrated bands I've ever come across. I can't stop listening!
That snare sounds amazing.
Yessir
Whomever engineers KEXP stuff is a hero.
Total musical nutrition..I'm blown away every time I hear this song!! A perfect balance of happy and sad, I'm happy when I hear it and sad when it ends.....
Thank God for art and artists like this 🙏🏻
@SamuelEMPowell131 great recommendation 👍🏻 thanks!
This song makes me feel so alive. It’s in damn near all of my playlists.
You don't know what is behind but realy makes me feel like child in 80's hearing this collage of sounds. Eyes dropping tears and feel like can fly.
2023. Still the best song i've ever heard.
Certainly very American as far as his influences go. I hear Jerry Garcia riffs, Lindsey Buckingham solos, Bob Dylan meets Tom Petty vocals with a little Jackson Browne ambience thrown in there as well. I have to say the whole thing is put together beautifully. He's a Class A songwriter.
this song is the only thing I have listened to since April, beautiful
Svea Conrad same here. 4 years later. april 1st, 2019. first time listening it. and i know this will be the only song i’ll be hearing for the coming weeks.
they discoverd the difinition of music, it's such a great song
Just when I thought real music was lost..brilliance!..but this has been happening to me for decades, thanks to listening to KEXP....Thank You KEXP!....Thank You War on Drugs, Antlers, LCD Soundsystem, Echo and the Bunnymen, Ultravox, Big Country, Hidden Cameras, Magnetic Fields, L VonBeethoven, Verdi, Lone Justice, and on, and on :))
KEXP + Best Radio Station EVER!
lutz luhmann Amen!
... and Jonathan Wilson.
One of the best bands out there right now! Great great song!
One of the best live performances I've ever seen caught on video. Pure magic!
Could be one of the cleanest, coolest recordings I’ve ever heard, esp. after the halfway mark. What a guitar, bass, and drum tone!
The KEXP sound engineers are in a class of their own.
I love this sound so energetic, so lucid and full of vitality, it is one of my favorite songs! never stop playing 🤟🏻🌃💫✨🎶💞🥂
My favorite part is when the song picks up at 1:51
from some 3 weeks only listen to this song
now it's 7 weeks:D Im really addicted! xD
yeah...his stuff pulled me out of cold turkey....the proof,his music is worth a lot....big time!!
it's still going :D 9 weeks
masterqbaPL keep on going!
Still going? I am.
What a song! And that bassline.. Hoho!
Best current live band (sorry U2)--I'm in my 70's ,seen them all; Adam and the band are exceptional,sold out in St Paul , here soon!!
killer performance
This band is so great... It's like Bob Dylan's vocals mixed with something like the Dire Straights in terms of acoustics. Just amazing!
Perfect!
LYRICS (LIVE on KEXP)
The War on Drugs - Red Eyes
(VERSE 1)
Come and see
Where i witness everything
On my knees
(you got to) Beat it down to get to my soul
Against my will
When anyone could tell us you're coming
But Baby don't mind
You leave it on a line, leave it hanging on a rail
(VERSE 2)
Come and ride away
It's easier to stick to the old (ods)
When you're surrounded by the night
Surrounded by the night and you don't give it in
But you abuse my faith
Losing every time and i don't know where
(yeah) You're on my side (again)
So ride the heat wherever it goes
I'll be the one i can't (whoo!)
(CHORUS)
Come and ride away
You can see it in the dark night touching my soul
When you can see through the darkness coming my way
(yeah) you won't get lost inside it all again
(BRIDGE)
Am i right? no one sees you around here waiting
They don't mind, that i'm here, i hear
For the best way, are you mine against it?
(yeah) I would keep you here, but i can't (even)
Oh, the right way i don't want to see it
And i don't see it anywhere i turn, yeah
(CHORUS)
Come and ride away
You can see it in the dark night touching my soul
Yeah i can see it in the darkness coming my way
Yeah you won't get lost inside it all
You're all i shall...
How can i see the day before the night
How can i see the *hum* before the time
Yeah you won't get lost inside it all
You're all i know... (whoo!)
Charlie's toms and snare never disappoint
Jesus, this knocks the socks off the radio edit. So much more bite - please release this version.
Amazing band and music. Excellent ! I hope to see and hear from you in Barcelona, you will fill the stadium of FC. Barcelona. I've heard all the songs almost 30 times , and again , each time it gives me goosebumps
Guess what? I still LOVE this live perfomance! still love this song! Thats how my soul sounds :3
Today I'm celebrating with my sennheiser's the year of the phenomenon, because I listen to it every day and never got bored! :D
Thank you KEXP and The War on Drugs

My favorite version of my favorite song
The drummer is overcooooooooolll

Epic track . Love it

Simply brilliant!
These guys are fuckin’ ace! Had this track on all summer, that guitar playin’ 💥💥💥
Thank you Tom Ravenscroft for introducing me to these absolute musical pros. I never get tired of listening to this song.
The snare on this performance sounds so good.
I have never heard something like this, really happy that i found this band :)
What a tune
I love seeing passion more than anything.
Yet another example of the KEXP performance outshining the recorded version.
Jonathan Wilson is another example.
I don’t think any version can compare to the intensity of the studio recorded orignal, it’s truly a powerful modern masterpiece.
I feel like the acoustic is too loud here.. The recorded version is so perfect
Totally adicted to this... Nice band and vibe.
I love this guitar .
My favorite song and my favorite version of it
What a tune!!!!! ❤️
amo esta canción, esta versión....
really good performance!
This song is life
It is one hell of a song.
What a great band
Sublime, simply sublime.
Kevin Suggs, I love you!
I'm in total adoration.
This band is one the best things to come up in the past decade.

Incredible song
Ik. liebe diese Band .
Best live version
Soaring brilliance!
Fantastic music, fantastic lyrics. Thx to TWOD.
Just found out about this song and band through Apple Music and probably played it 5x in a row, man what a great sound.
the first time i heard this song was, when my wife and i travelled through aragon and katalunya in july 2017 with our camping car. it was damned hot, even in the mountains there. and we found by chance a public outdoor pool in Tremp. i went twice into the water, the rest of the afternoon i listend to an incredible good alternative and punk and avantgarde rock mix. in a public outdoor pool. and than came this song and put this day on an other higher level.
Just love it!
man i just found this song its mindblowing !!!!! pls come to Romania
Shooter McGavin on the drums everyone.
Excited to listen to the radio again....even if it's only on satelite.
Awesome!!!
thnxs!!!
Badass. Fucking badass
So dope! 😎🎶🎵🥁🎸🎚🎹👻
I remember when this album wAs released. Still steamrolling me in the most gorgeous, yet subtle of fucking ways..
If songs bring back vibrant, important times in my life: I fucking picked well..
So good
Magic!!!
Just the singer and drummer are feeling it man , everyone else is dead , especially the acoustic player ! He looks totally out if it
seems like they play it too much, its like boring to them now.
what a performance
The bassist is rocking a hella dope t-shirt!
| will always cry to this.
I like this.
Uplifting, ... brilliant
Best band this millennium!
