I used to listen to this song and cry because I wanted to get sober and kept relapsing, my life was so out of control. I’ve now been sober since 12/12/2010. 💜 Recovery is possible 💜✨

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. 🤙😎

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..

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.

Any alcoholic can truly relate. Stay positive & grateful for every opportunity life brings. Just remember “Still things can be much worse” “This will blow over in time. This will all blow over in time”…
im going through a really hard time right now......and i just keep singing "it will all blow over in time" and "still things could be much worse" and i cant wait for the day when its just all over. The day when i look back on bad memories and remember this song was what helped me get through it

I return to this song like another drink at the bar. Always. It's so soothing cuzbmyboaychecks in the mail.

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.
yea im a recovering alcoholic too, just found this song, speaks alot to me, congrats on your dad and the others as well! much love

This song breaks my heart every time. Hopeful and doomed all at the same time.
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 used to listen to this song on repeat when i was drinking all the whiskey i possibly could. you guys will be ok...
This song still gets to me, it’s so raw. incredible!!!
this band shows emotion like no others...
such a beautiful song..when alcohol controls you. so sad that I understand it fully
I just discovered this band and also this song and i'm in love with this part. ''I promised to my wife and children, I'd never touch another drink as long as I live'' Idk why, i dont even hace children or wife LOL.

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.

wat i love about cold war kids is that some of the things they say could mean diffirent things like "i need another one" it could mean another drink or another 2 weeks paid vacation!!!! GOO CWK
i agree with the second part. i love all their music, it's just so divine! and hospital beds is the greatest of them all! nad saint john! and seremons vs. the gospel! and we used to vacation ! and... evry song of them!
i love CWK all there songs have such an ace msg love em xxx
serious good tune and there is a clip of the coolest musician ever...paul simonon

saw them last night and it was off the chain. you gotta catch these guys live!!!
i forgot how much i loved the cold war kids, then i started listening to their music again...
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)
It took forever for me to find this song I love that part at 1:23
