My 4th grade teacher, Mr. Shannon, used to play this song when we were doing silent work sometimes. I shit you not, after months of hearing this, at least half the class was singing and humming along. 13 years later and it stays on my playlist.
This is the first song I heard by The Gaslight Anthem, about a year ago. I always seem to come back to them, because their songs are simply phenomenal.
I love all of their albums but…The ‘59 Sound and American Slang are absolute masterpieces. Two of the best albums I’ve heard in the last 20 plus years. Broke my heart that they called it quits.
This takes me back to 2008: driving my truck, this album playing on the radio, on my way to class. Not a care in the world. Oh how the world and our lives changed since. Thank you, Brian, Benny, Alex R. and Alex L.
I'm working my way through each of their albums. I finished Sink or Swim and I'm about to start the '59 Sound. I think this is already one of my favorite songs by them.
I bought this CD in january and it still is in heavy rotation in my car, my stereo, my ipod, everywhere...took me a few listens to really get them, but they are soulful, moody, nostalgic and refreshing all at once. Amazing band, with a subtle but extremely distinct personality.
i've never fell in love with a band so quickly as i have with the gaslight anthem. i remember the first time i heard this song i was hooked. they're the ones that will bring back classic rock...none of this power-pop electronica or deathcore crap that people have been mass producing.
Mary, this station is playing every sad song I remember like we were alive I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls In a prison cell, where we spent those nights And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her Licking young boys' blood from her claws And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb My heart's like a wound And I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you? Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life Better safe than making the party And I never had a good time, I sat by my bedside With papers and poetry about Estella With great expectations We had the greatest of expectations I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you? It's funny how the night moves Humming a song from 1962 We were always waiting We were always waiting We were always waiting for something to happen I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life Everybody leaves and why, why wouldn't you?
His voice just makes me want to cry. I don't know what it is, but it does. And I love it. I haven't heard many of their songs yet, but what I have heard, I absolutely love. :')
I was first introduced to this band when the '59 sound was released. Little did I know then that I had been gaslit my whole life by my family. Seems very appropriate now!
I remember playing World at War with my laptop to Indy 103.1 in LA playing on itunes radio and this song came on. made the decision to go to Amoeba the next day after about 30 seconds.
I'm from London and i love the gaslight anthem, A radio station called xfm played one of there songs about 10 years ago and ive loved them ever since. They are not known over here, fuck knows why, they are class 🇬🇧
the first time i ever even heard of them was when my friend bought me a ticket. im so hooked. i could listen to this album over and over again for weeks on end and never get sick of a single second of it! so much heart goes into their music.
The Gaslight Anthem is and has been born on punk....blues...rock....they are the heartline of TRUE music. You can't say the same for The Killers. There's a reason why this band is getting noticed so much more now. Because it's REAL music. Not manufactured.
"I never had a good time, I sat by my bedside, with papers and poetry about Estella." Even the greatest modern music quote is a reference. Nothing new under the Sun? Maybe. But, there's nothing old about being young and heartbroken.
i love this band...they have a hint of nostalgia in there sound... im 20 yrs old and from ga im bearly old enough to feel nostalgic about anything.. but somehow they make me feel that way.. it's weird
It does seem weird kind of like that deja vu feeling we sometimes get but I remember having that same feeling of nostalgia when hearing certain songs as a kid. I think it's something innate in us, within some of us more than others maybe. Not sure how to explain it as I don't really believe in us living multiple lifetimes but who really knows? Anyhow, cheers and yep Gaslight Anthem is great!
@SoulMaker i was a huge gaslight fan but i became an even bigger fan after seeing them live a few years ago at leeds fest. stole the festival for me like. such a great live band. even cowgirls get the blues is my favourite song for them to sing live. amazing. jealous you got to see them last week.
Always liked everything I had ever heard by these guys. Finally own the entire discography and listen to the albums all the time. Fantastic and amazing band!
Holy shit... I grew up listening to my mom blast Bruce Springsteen in the car. And now, hearing these guys for the very first time, this guy's voice is eerily similar to Bruce's. And I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. This is so surreal. I love it. I'm going to be listening to this band a lot in the future, I suspect.
xAlyssaJones37 I heard his and Chuck ragans version before this one that was when I feel in love with Bryan I knew chuck from my early teens from skate videos
Just getting into this band. Like them a lot. Theyre definitely becoming one of my favorite bands. The Segar reference in the song made me like them even more
Don't compare, just enjoy! Two great albums. Looking forward to the third in the making. As Brian Fallon has said - you have to be able to make three good albums. Great Expectations!
I've seen these guys live twice, and will do again in July. they are quite simply the best thing that happened to me in 2008. Quite simply my fav band (and I'm not the sort of person who usually gets all fanboy about anything)

Gaslight Anthem is just that wonderful ❤
My mom loved Brian Fallon and all his songs he sang, still miss her and listening to Brian Fallon and gaslight anthem remind me of her
God bless you!
My mom was the one that actually turned me on to Gaslight. Here’s to moms with great taste!
God be with you child 🙏🏼✊🏼
Same here that's my mom's shit thats why I jam to it so much
I hope Gaslight Anthem comforts my kids someday.
"everybody leaves, so why, why wouldnt you?" hits me like a truck.

That lyric always rings deep for people with abandoned issues.
Brian Fallon is the best songwriter to come out of America in years! Criminally underrated! Come to Scotland please!!!
Agreed 100%. By far my favorite artist.
Go back to r*ddit nerd
@@adamwehrlin3982 I concur.
It's like if Bruce Springsteen was like "So hey, I'm gonna make some music" but started now
@@ryanmason74fitting cause both are from the Jersey Shore and both got their careers started at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park
No band has ever quite touched me like this one
You should listen to New Model Army.
@@gregmalcolm6798 I'll give them a listen
I got to see Gaslight Anthem on both Boston dates of the 59' Sound 10th Anniversary tour. I'd give anything to relive those two nights.
LUCKY!!!!
I was there both nights too! Those shows were amazing.
I was there the first night. Incredible! I saw them last summer in Portland. Still sound great!
@@copywriter2001 caught em again at riot fest last year. They brought out Deanna from sincere engineer to do 59 sound. Mental.
This is the first song I heard by The Gaslight Anthem, about a year ago. I always seem to come back to them, because their songs are simply phenomenal.
These guys, their lyrics... So powerful, so many times have gotten me through some tough times and played through the good times too! LOVE.
So how long do these tonight times usually last. Asking for a friend
@@sayywhiteboy5019 lol WUT
@@clydek.elkins3102 he means tough times
@@magnuslingafelter6506 who r u
You are the prettiest girl that I've have seen in a looooong time... Just thought you'd like to know.
Not only are these guys fantastic musicians but they are by far the most talented songwriters in the music industry today. That often goes overlooked.
There is no getting sick of this song
today in my math class, some stoner kid saw my streetlight manifesto shirt and directed me to this band. i'm glad for stoners.
I wonder where he is today...
@@AustinTehSkwurlCurry Still in that same math class. Getting high and telling kids about this band.
Austin Curry my exact thoughts
We do have he best tastes in music
Gaslight and Streetlight are the greatest bands named about lights. That’s why
I love all of their albums but…The ‘59 Sound and American Slang are absolute masterpieces. Two of the best albums I’ve heard in the last 20 plus years. Broke my heart that they called it quits.
but they’re baaaaaaack
That end build up gets me Everytime.
Still a Gaslight Anthem fan after all these years.
This takes me back to 2008: driving my truck, this album playing on the radio, on my way to class. Not a care in the world. Oh how the world and our lives changed since. Thank you, Brian, Benny, Alex R. and Alex L.
I'm pounding beers...alone...and this is the only thing that makes me feel better...MAKE AMERICA ROCK AGAIN!!!!!!
I used to play this record at the end of the night in the kitchen every close, and once I put this song even wait staff knew the night was over.
Whats so good about the Gaslight is that there is not just one great album. No matter who you ask everyone has a different answer.
Everybody leaves so why, why wouldn't you
I'm working my way through each of their albums. I finished Sink or Swim and I'm about to start the '59 Sound. I think this is already one of my favorite songs by them.
just wait there'll be more
They're on hiatus.
Thats what i meant

This is a true "time capsule" comment right here. Awesome!
best band of 2008 and 2009. i cant get enough of them
It's amazing this group is not even known in my country, Spain! I'm showing their songs to all my friends and we're all becoming fans!
My buddy showed me Miles Davis & The Cool recently. Now I can't stop listening to the album every song is incredible. I guess better late than never.
played this on repeat while I was barely conscious in a hospital bed in early high school, will be forever grateful for this band ❤️
Still listening to it, and I guess I will so in 20 years.
A masterpiece!!!

Mary, this station is playing every sad song
I remember like we were alive
I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights
And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
Licking young boys' blood from her claws
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb
My heart's like a wound
And I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life
Better safe than making the party
And I never had a good time, I sat by my bedside
With papers and poetry about Estella
With great expectations
We had the greatest of expectations
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
It's funny how the night moves
Humming a song from 1962
We were always waiting
We were always waiting
We were always waiting for something to happen
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves and why, why wouldn't you?
Jordan thank you 🙂

feel the same way and im 63, I only listen to anything Brian Fallon related or anything he might suggest, Sad I know but true :-)
What a great song. What a great band.
I was first introduced to this band when the '59 sound was released. Little did I know then that I had been gaslit my whole life by my family. Seems very appropriate now!
One of the very best songs EVER written.
AWESOME
That chorus is soo darn good

Had this song constantly on repeat when possible. Definitely do not regret it, one of the better songs amongst others
GLA One of the GREATS!!
The Gaslight Anthem is and has been born on punk....blues...rock....they are the heartline of TRUE music. You can't say the same for The Killers. There's a reason why this band is getting noticed so much more now. Because it's REAL music. Not manufactured.
I just heard this song for the first time. The goosebumps are still there 3 minutes later.
"I never had a good time, I sat by my bedside, with papers and poetry about Estella." Even the greatest modern music quote is a reference. Nothing new under the Sun? Maybe. But, there's nothing old about being young and heartbroken.
to get back to the subject at hand...wow. the passion, the lyrics, the skill, the sound...it is all there. damn, just look at them go.
Same!! Great band!!
Awesome. Awesome band. firstsaw on Christmas playing with Springsteen on 59 SOund.
Converted instantly. brilliant.
Brian Fallon is a lyrical genius.
Simple and meaningful.
What I wouldn’t give for gas light anthem to play at my wedding... I love it so much.
Time to come to Atlanta guys
i love this band...they have a hint of nostalgia in there sound...
im 20 yrs old and from ga
im bearly old enough to feel nostalgic about anything.. but somehow they make me feel that way.. it's weird
Guess now you are old enough for a little nostalgia...
It does seem weird kind of like that deja vu feeling we sometimes get but I remember having that same feeling of nostalgia when hearing certain songs as a kid. I think it's something innate in us, within some of us more than others maybe. Not sure how to explain it as I don't really believe in us living multiple lifetimes but who really knows? Anyhow, cheers and yep Gaslight Anthem is great!
These guys are far to unknown for as good as they are
I already miss this record too much..... this sound the emotion everything...

brilliant song, anybody else love the "be my baby" drum beat at the end ? i love little details in songs like that.
Wouldn't that be the song from 1962....how far off I sat and wondered.
Holy shit this is gold
I agree, I like that they generally make a lot of references because it shows their appreciation fot the classics...
they back
Just got back from bayou music center and saw them oh my GOD they are my favorite band ever so consist with sounding same live and on the album
Looking forward to you guys coming to Saarbrücken!
Always liked everything I had ever heard by these guys. Finally own the entire discography and listen to the albums all the time. Fantastic and amazing band!

It's what we all thought when this came out back then. It's good
1:02
That. That right there is when I fell in love with Brian Fallon.
***** Brian is my absolute man crush.
xAlyssaJones37 I heard his and Chuck ragans version before this one that was when I feel in love with Bryan I knew chuck from my early teens from skate videos
Saaaame. I'm a dude and I got wet.
Boom - pregnant
hahha he does that a lot in their videos :D
I miss high school days. not school, just being young
I saw them in Clifton Park NY on Monday and they were phenomenal. One of my favorite bands ever
Drove around my old neighborhood last night blasting this
Not only is the song great, Brian's not looking too bad there himself.
Hopefully going to see these guys Sunday. Can't wait!
yeah, yeah, yeah the boys are back! Looking forward to the concert at berlin on 09.08!
Just getting into this band. Like them a lot. Theyre definitely becoming one of my favorite bands. The Segar reference in the song made me like them even more
Love this band so much, this song is awesome and makes me think of my husband. we discovered this band at leeds festival 2009 and still listen now
My new favourite song, repeat, repeat, repeat!
Nathan Clews Same!
Don't compare, just enjoy! Two great albums. Looking forward to the third in the making. As Brian Fallon has said - you have to be able to make three good albums. Great Expectations!
Ive been listening to the 59 sound album for a year now, nearly every week its on.brilliant album.
Did anyone catch that Bob Seger nod with that Night Moves line?! What a fucking legend of a dude Fallon is
I absolutely love this song, and all of their other songs.
Especially "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" :]
his voice is soooo good.
Still listening to this gem.
My Brother introduced me to these guys! Rest in Peace Robert. It's only been 2 years and it still feels like yesterday.
I'm so excited about these guys
definitely my favorite gaslight anthem song..i love the lyrics of this song the music brian's voice.. everything is just perfect
Gaslight anthem is the best
I love it at 1:50 when brian steps up to the mic, too cool. Can't wait to see em again at fest!
I can't stop listening to this song over and over again!
Superb band cant wait for their next full UK tour..........!!!!!!
I've seen these guys live twice, and will do again in July. they are quite simply the best thing that happened to me in 2008. Quite simply my fav band (and I'm not the sort of person who usually gets all fanboy about anything)
I hear twangs of it every now and then, glad i'm not the only one.
Saw them for my birthday last month!!!!
God what a great song!❤
Best song by the band, easy
@TheLimo64 well let's hope it's sometime fairly soon, really looking forward to catching these guys live
I've moshed to this! no idea why it happened, and should never be done with how light this band is, but it was amazing
This is why I still live in this house. Jeremy, we had the greatest expectations.
The first time I heard this I thought they uncovered an old track of Springsteen jamming with the Ramones.
Hands down "the 59 sound" is the best album in the past 10 years
Best band to come along in a long time.
this is a great song
Oh my God I love The Gaslight......and I love Brian....he's soooooooooooo good looking here.....
absolutely unbelievable
SAW THESE GUYS OPEN FOR RISE AGAINST LAST NIGHT. SO AWESOME!
both bands are amazing playing live
My buddy got me into this band an now I just can't stop listening, so good
