This guitar solo always makes me cry. It takes me back to those bittersweet memories of young love that you thought would never end, and summers of our youth when everything felt possible. I share this song with others and they don’t seem to feel what I feel. I wish I give them one ounce of what this gives me. I’m 34 now and so happy with how life has evolved. But music is a Time Machine and gives a brief glimpse into the people we once were. One of the most beautiful things my ears have ever heard. ❤️

Most underrated and most underrated band right now They certainly don't get enough credit for being this badass.

That drummer is just having the time of his life and I love it. I guess that happens when you're the backbone to some pretty awesome music.

A year later and these guys have withstood all the greta van fleets and lizard wizards and all the new age rock. Their music is timeless, and every album and track is consistent. They are next level musicians, not riding the wave of youth and splendor like the younger generation of rockers. Adam is the next Springsteen. But better.

I'm super lucky to have played in some really decent bands. I know what it's like when you get that coming together moment in a band where you're all firing on all cylinders and it just blends perfectly. There's no feeling like it. It's pure magic. But I've never been in a band that has that connection every single time they play like this lot do. I can only imagine how it must feel for those 6 guys every time they play together. They're truly phenomenal.

You said it exactly... When I watch them it's incredible how in sync they are, yet so clearly performing to the max individually - even an average person is left realizing that something extraordinary - almost spiritual - is going on- I can't get enough

I believe that no words are needed for such great music. The man is making high waves.

My dad turned me on to this band years ago with the lost in a dream album. I didn't immediately dig it but after I'm not sure how many listens. Not many more at all, i found out what a master piece that it was. Lost in a dream and a deeper understanding are a couple of the best albums ever made. Too bad both my vinyl copies of Lost in a dream are shit. Thank God for the CD!!!! I have seen them twice live and I hope that the last time was not my last.

The War On Drugs will always remain one of MY BESTEST!!!!!

I love how happy Charlie and Adam get at 4:34. Guess they hit that harmonic leading into the sax solo?

Charlie Hall is a phenomenal drummer..Bringing back Ringo!!

Unbelievable song. My favourite version

Love this song so so much.

Send this out as a love letter to the cosmos so other life can hear how great we are at making (inter)stellar music.

Diese Band hat einen Sound der im ersten Moment altbackend klingt, aber er ist sowas von geil das man alles um einen herum vergessen kann. Man spricht von Don Hanley usw.. Hier ist auch jemand der für mich phantastisch E-Gitarre spielen kann. Und es holt mich sogar emotional ab. Ich bin gerade ein Fan von Euch geworden und werde es posten. Einfach ein Hammer.

sheer class!

imho all great art comes from a dark place and the album Lost In The Dream is a great example. The musicianship is stella of course but its the dark optimism and resignation of it lyrics that pulls me in. Its a modern classic that's for sure.

Great song.

If you like this version, check out the KEXP (2013) one. It's on a while other level.

And how many other resonances can you find? I also hear Warren Zevon and Ryan Adams and that's just a handful of his vocals. The music, the lyrics and the production are also richly resonant.

Got my tix to see them at the shrine in February bringing my 18 year old son 😀😇

Adams you are a walk-in the Arc

What a fuc@:*&king great song!

I was sailin' down here on the wind When I met you and I fell away again Like a train in reverse down a dark road Carrying the whole load Just rattling the whole way home Have you fixed your eyes to the wind? Will you let it pull you in again on the way back in? I'm a bit run down here at the moment Let me think about it, babe Let me hold you There's a cold wind blowing down my old road Down the back streets where the pines grow As the river splits the undertows But I'd be lying to myself if I said I didn't mind Leave it hanging on the line Lost inside my head Is this the way I'll be denied, again? So I'll set my eyes to the wind But it won't be easy to leave it all again Just a bit rundown here on the sea There's just a stranger living in me As you set your eyes to the wind And you see me pull away again Haven't lost it on a friend I'm just bit run down here at the moment Yeah, I'm all alone here, living in darkness

I fucking love this band.

I love

What a song. Fuck me

yeah - love it - fantastic beat from minimum amount of kit

Glenhookey, thats where thy totally blew it at a concert in Sweden, I think it was. The mix was totally wrong and the sax overpowered everyone else. So, yes, you're right. They're both really happy at 4:35. : )

Wish he would sing it with the same melody of the album. Having said that, I love the instrumental variations from the album, especially beginning around 4.01 with the solo guitar and the sax coming in hard at 4.30. Frustrating that he is doing an Adam (like my other idol Adam Duritz of coutingcrows) and by that I mean experimenting with the melody and intonation of the vocals, which distracts more than anything.
