I've had this album on daily play for like 2 months. Every frickin' song has drilled its way into my skull along the way. This is definitely one of the best on an absolutely fabulous album., and I enjoyed this breakdown of the writing immensely.
Coming back to this having seen them live at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday. Aside from the set just being a profoundly moving and exhilarating experience, this song, coming in at the end, is such an emotionally charged gut punch. In the very best way. The whole audience, swaying, hugging and living. Thank you Adam, you help people move past things you will never know about.
The thing I appreciate most about Adam is his honesty when talking about his craft- especially regarding lyric writing and getting 'stuck in a box'. I can relate to that.
Love to hear this break down. The music making process is like catching lightening in a bottle. The spontaneity and collaboration is where the magic happens.
❤🎶The first time I heard Under the Pressure it had such a breathtakingly positive effect upon me that ever since I have been on the best journey ever finding all their live performances here on UA-cam so I can't state enough that the music is heartstopping in a fabulous way. When I mention TWOD to others who have heard them feel exactly the same. I watch, not just listen, so I'm now into guitars and also reading all lyrics. I'm happily madly dancing 💃around the house, my heart is happy and yes, I've always been a music maniac, finally finding this otherworldly hugely affecting magic music band 🙏❤️🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆
@@hansgettheflammenwerfer69420 I like "Under the Pressure" from Lost In The Dream; "I Don't Live Here Anymore" from the album of the same name; "Strangest Thing" from A Deeper Understanding. I pretty much like all of their songs, though, so it's hard to choose.
Really enjoyed this. Kind of reminds me of how I come to my creations. Usually, it involves a riff or series of chords that grow into a solid melody. Meanwhile I get a the grain of a lyrical idea and start flushing it out slowly but surely. When it is all done, I get an immense feeling of satisfaction.
And how about the tools we have at our disposal these days!? It is so awesome that you can capture an idea on computer or phone whenever inspiration strikes.
Same. What has improved my music like crazy is analysing music that I love and seeing why they did certain things and then incorporating some of those ideas into my own songs.
This is a beautiful song. Theres a genre of youtube videos that are snipbits of songs and they always call themselves the 'best bit of music ever written." I can confidently claim that the second half of Occasional Rain (recorded version) is the definite winner. Best 3 or so minutes ever written. This is from the beginning of the lyricless bit in the middle all the way to the end. ua-cam.com/video/tkyz9OyY_ek/v-deo.html 2:25 to the end.
Just jam over the whole song, and then by that outro section if you’re truly feeling it that hard, you’ll stumble on that out of place note that makes the weavey part so beautiful and the riff will just come to you. Such a beautiful part, it gives me happy tears man… my brain can’t decide if it’s a happy or sad note, so it just fully overwhelms me with a reassuring yet painful juxtaposition of an emotion that I can’t control 💖 It’s honestly, one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.
1) I've never heard of these people. 2) I really like the sound of this song. 3) I can't believe that someone could grow up in the USA and not know what a Christmas Tree looks like... or "fir tree" as the original lyric called them.

Curios what you thought of Lost in the Dream? That's my favourite album of all time but there recent stuff hasn't stuck with me at all
A year and a half later and this is still my favorite song.
september 2024: it still is 🧡
Adam is an absolute genius. This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time. I can listen to it twenty times in a row.
Lost my mum around the time this album came out , this is her song ❤
I would just wish, that outro solo would go on forever
The War on Drugs has become my favorite band, I hope one day they come to Chile.
sigo esperando que vengan

This and "Change" are my two favourites off the album.
my thoughts exactly
No need to explain....you and your band are genius. Your music gives me hope
We are so blessed to have Adam and mike making such good tunes
The thing I appreciate most about Adam is his honesty when talking about his craft- especially regarding lyric writing and getting 'stuck in a box'. I can relate to that.
I LOVE this band and even more now…Adam is the MAN. Can’t wait to see them in April (Leeds)
The sound is class, cant get enough of songs, wish id discovered them, then could have seen them live in uk
Adam ❤ genius
My favorite band!!! Love you guys!!! Thanks for sharing the crafting of your art. 🙌
content like this is basically drugs for me
Anyone who can create beautiful melodies and take inspiration from unnoticed sections of various great artists is a legend himself..
This is the first song I heard and it drew me into all the bands music. live shows are incredible
Love to hear this break down. The music making process is like catching lightening in a bottle. The spontaneity and collaboration is where the magic happens.
Thanks Fender. I can’t get enough of Adam & The War on Drugs. Given what we are all going through at the moment, TWOD is the music I need.

Absolutely love this band!
I love love love “Occasional Rain”!!
I love discovering artists I didnt know exist and an insight into their process is awsome.
I only started listening to The War on Drugs a few months ago and now I listen to them almost every day.
Oh boy you are in for a treat
@@danieli.9252 Could you give me your top 3 songs?

Thanks for explaining how a song could come together with the ingredients of time, thoughts, sounds of musical instruments, and etc. Awesome!
Total quality…he’s the real deal.
Genius, love him
Such a beautiful tune
Love this band, thanks so much for this video Adam and Fender!

Nice to see TWOD's getting more attention > so well deserved & been a hellova looong time coming > still say among the most underrated of the Era
❤thanks for sharing fender 🎸
the best band ever
I could watch and listen to him do this for the whole album. I wonder what was left on the cutting room floor
Probably their next album
Ya gotta love his convo with Block - he’s a collaborator and really appreciates his band’s contributions.
great song on an even better album.
"Living by the old fir tree" lmao. Adam is the best.
This is awesome... Love hearing Adam explain the process of writing this tune.
Gotta love Adam. Can't wait for April (concert in Milan!)
this was amazing to watch! such a great song!
Going to play it again before bed
Awesome from Japan. I love your song.

Beautiful stuff Adam. That weave is phenomenal.
Just seen twod live in Leeds absolutely awesome
Unfortunately no occasional rain or change on the set list two of my favourites of the album
Such an awesome video.
What kind of a mic is that in front of the amp at 0:56???
OH MAn I want to know
Nice fucking job Fender! Bravo!
I dig WOD
@Fender - do you guys know what kind of mic is being used at 0:56 seconds? Cheers,
Ohma World
Which Jazzmaster model does Adam play?
He writes much like I do. Word soup, and editing. Chipping away until it means something, maybe.
Glad I'm not alone. If I could only music better 🤪

The entire song and all their work is fucking amazing. But above is fucking perfect.
❤️❤️
Fine
😍😍
Somehow Adam talking about the process makes the song no less magical. Which is the opposite of what you’d think.
It’s a pity this isn’t three hours long
Anyone know the tabs for Adam’s weave around the “teardrop” guitar parts? Would love to learn it

Ironically, a Douglas Fir is a pine tree...
Room 13. --->. Jesse Malik lift
3 live concerts 0 plays of this song, and whats the deal not playing holding on anymore?
Fir tree perhaps?
1) I've never heard of these people.
2) I really like the sound of this song.
3) I can't believe that someone could grow up in the USA and not know what a Christmas Tree looks like... or "fir tree" as the original lyric called them.
Haha!!
I wish i had a guitar,they are too costy🥺😭
No they're not!
This dude's 42 and looks 55 yikes!
