This is an extremely accurate depiction of what alcoholism is like on a day to day basis. As a recovering alcoholic now and when I used to drink I loved this song. Long before I ever had met my wife and we had our children. This song will never “blow over in time” for me that’s for sure! 🤣 also Cold War kids are such a great band. 🤙😎

Me too man. The summer this album came out I was in full alcoholism. I finally quit in 2014. I used to listen to this song drunk and think that poor guy. He’ll never get to drink again. This song just came up on my recommendations and haven’t listened to it since I quit drinking And was just wondering what the comments were going to say. Thanks for sharing your similar story. 😎👍🏻

Gives me the chills every time… thank God things changed. Almost 9 years sober. It’s a hard fight that must be tackled every day… and we all don’t make it out alive.

This whole album is criminally underrated

Man, this song. As an addict myself, even though alcohol isn't my drug of choice like in the song, this is still one of my favorite musical depictions of addiction. It really captures that feeling of helplessness as you watch your drug use ruin your life, yet the only way you have to cope with any of it is to use more drugs

Robbers and Cowards has aged beautifully

"gets all his anger from me" so deep. still things could be much worse right? so we should just accept it. it sounds so soothing to mix a drink and sink into oblivion. jesus it gives me the shivers.

Cold War Kids are definitely one of the best bands I've ever heard. They're lyrics open your mind to things that we don't think about on a regular basis. They have such deep meanings and they're so emotionally enthusiastic in their songs. That's real music

I was 15 when I first heard this song. Now I’m 30.

I watched "Maid" on Netflix the other day. The husband who is initially seen as a horrible man but then is portrayed as a man with a good heart struggling w/ a drinking addiction reminded me a lot of this song. Phenomenal song and a phenomenal show. It was a missed opportunity for them not to use this song. But I guess it wasn't his story..

Simply beautiful. Draws a stark parallel between the idea of the "functional alcoholic" and his denial of his problem. Anyone struggling right now, listening to this, you aren't broken. You have beauty, just like this song, but a problem to overcome. Ours just looks like a drink

This song offers a variety of sounds that makes you want to listen to it again and again and again.

I kissed the kids at noon Then stumbled out the room I caught a cab, ran up a tab On 7th and Flower Best recital, I had to run Missed my son's graduation Punched the Nickle's boy For taking his seat He gets all that anger from me Still things could be much worse Natural disasters on the evening news Still things could be much worse We still got our health My paycheck in the mail I promised to my wife and children I'd never touch another drink As long as I live but even then It sounds so soothing This will blow over in time This will all blow over in time I'm just an honest man Provide for me and mine I give a check to tax deductible Charity organizations Two weeks paid vacation Won't heal the damage done I need another one Still things could be much worse Natural disasters on the evening news Still things could be much worse We still got our health My paycheck in the mail I promised to my wife and children I'd never touch another drink As long as I live but even then It sounds so soothing to mix a gin And sink into oblivion I promised to my wife and children That accident left everyone a little shook up But at the meetings I felt so empty This will blow over in time This will all blow over in time Mm la da da da da ah da da da da ah oh Ah la da da da la da da da da ah la da da da ooh

Great song... not familiar with Cold War Kids but I remember hearing this track 10 years ago and loved it then.... Got an email today saying they're touring and recognised their name so stuck it in KZread and this came up. It's nice to be back!!!

Best song from their cd in my opinion, since the first time i heard this song i thought it was amazing. Their music is a breath of fresh air compared to other recent music, which mostly sucks. Bravo Cold War Kids.

The guilt is worse than the disease. You're an alcoholic. So what. You killing anyone except yourself??....So you say things when you are drunk that upset people people from time to time...people say things that upset me when they are stone sober.... you don't see me preaching at them that they are morally corrupt.

I heard this playing as bump music on a Planet Money podcast of all things. I googled the lyrics, found the band on KZread, and now I'm gonna buy the album from Itunes. Ten minutes ago I'd never even heard of this band. God, I love the internet.

I love the message behind this song. He's so desperately trying to justify his slovenly actions and total disregard for his family. The alcoholism isn't want gets him, it's his own selfishness. He thinks that if he just keeps his head low and does whatever he wants, the consequences won't matter.

I just saw them in Austin last night. They were amazing, the best show I've ever seen. When the played robbers they turned off all the lights and shined flashlights into the crowd (it was really cool). These guys are so talented. They are what music is all about.

Gives me chills...

I lost my dad to alcoholism last year. This was the first song I ever heard from Cold War kids when I was in middle school. It has such a different meaning after witnessing a life half lived

This band needs more love from the world.

He has such a real voice. Very beautiful!

"still things could be much worse. we still got our health, my paycheck in the mail."

Love this song. Love this band.

The tempo changes and creative timing in CWK songs always catches me off guard but at the same time it's surprisingly pleasing to the ear and I can't help but sway with the amazing beat.

My favorite Cold War Kids song by a country mile!!!

“This will all blow over in time...”

The emotion and distress in their songs are very real. Very Led Zeppelin. I like it.

Great song. Their best...

Spilling my vodka elderberry drink while drinking and singing this song on my own lol

I love love love love love love love (...)

“But at the meetings I felt so empty” I’m tired of the AA broken record, but “this will blow over in time, this will all blow over in time”

Makes me cry everytime

One of the best albums from the mid 00s ... this song haunts me

I saw them last night. Karlistor Germany. :D They are so amazing live.

I love this song, it strikes your heart in that way that not alot of songs can.

"to mix the gin and sink into oblivion." that line speaks a lot to me. being the alcoholic I am. I tell everyone I quit an I'm happy but there's always that craving. I miss that numbness to the body and mind. things seem too real now.

I Love Love Love this Song.

My Motivation to start writing music started with this song.

I just went through half of their discography to find this particular song that i used to listen when i was a lid, my life is now fulfilled

HQ...i fall in love again.

I remember in 2008 when I was 6 I got a MP3 player and my mom put a bunch of her music on it and this was one of the songs. During the time my dad was on a deployment to Iraq and the events happening there were broadcasted on the news so I thought this was a song about service members and war and now looking back it’s kinda funny to see how my 6 year old self saw songs and the world. (P.S. my dad made it back and went on another development during 2012 to Afghanistan and also made it back ok) (P.P.S. He is a us marine)
