The war on drugs is literally so good and so beautiful. I've heard this song and I literally cry when I hear it. It's so good!!!😭🥰

For me this song is a way to turn the page, it's like the shift change in the office, it's like a hug at the end of the day. I don't know how to explain everything this song has made me feel and still makes me feel, even though I've heard it many times before. It's like a hymn, that guitar riff is mythical, insane and glorious. It gives me chills. Btw, that album "A deeper understanding" is, hands down, in my top 3 chart of the best albums I've ever heard in my life. Not a single bad song.

Check out Thinking Of A Place, IMO their best song by far, it's incredible.

p.s. I'm glad I'm not the only one completely obsessed with this song haha I kept showing it to friends and they just reacted "yeah it's good", BUT THEY DON"T GET IT

Agreed. So cool to find a page of people who are so into it too. The most understated band that speaks to my soul. They played at my city's folk fest this year. I was surprised to learn an acquaintance of mine was a huge fan. We were probably the only one's in the crown rocking out totally excited to see them. It's made this huge bond between my friend and I.

One of the greatest bands. The War On Drugs. Spectacular.

Hear Pain from war on drugs!!! It is a masterpiece

They played for 3 hours in DC when I saw them. Just a band that always gives 1000% every concert.

feel the exactly same way bro... every-time that guitar solo breaks my soul lights on fire

I can't get enough of this, mostly because I've experienced the same reaction since 2017 or whenever the song came out. Thank you, thank you!

you should do a reaction on "An Ocean in between the waves" of The War on Drugs!

This song is really blew up my mind..✌️☮️ peace 😊😇😇

This song gives me goosebumps everytime I’m so glad you reacted to it!

Absolutely stunning that song 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

I love watching you react to amazing songs... I watch it not only because i like your content but also to getting introduced to some amazing songs that i could add to my playlist! Thank you.. will always be looking at this channel to add some mind blowing songs to my playlist. Which really helps me to be in the reality.!!! Thank you 🤗♥️ I'm from India and my all time favourite song is Laal Ishq by Arijit and you did react to it! Will suggest you few, please check them out 🙂

So beautiful song and lyrics... OMG I missed this so much... 😘💗

This was a great reaction! I really felt the connection and energy!

👏Wow!!!, just beaitiful, thank you for introduced me to this band, I will be come fan, really good!!!. 😍

Your reaction made me smile. Your emotional rollercoaster mirrored mine. Incredible record. The last two offerings by War on Drugs will be difficult for them (or anyone) to match.

Hey Scott I would like to thank you for what you do. This is a completely different idea of reacting to only music. This is really amazing, coz everyone reacts to music videos and the music is often neglected. What you do, makes us listen to the same song in a completely different way. Your reaction gives us an opportunity to listen to every single instrument and every new thing in the music. Reacting so well and so heart fully to a song whose lyrics you don't understand is really amazing and sweet. Your complete way gives us more reasons to think about the music you react to and also, to introspect. Thank you for what you do and keep doing it. The 17 yr old warrior Akansha 😊

Thanks for raising your reactions again, Missing "La célula que explota " by Caifanes, but I already subscribed

Agree 100% with everything you said. A lot of people just don't get it...

Wow, I am so glad that I am not unique. Well done you for being so openly emotional about this song, I am like this pretty much every night. It is my go-to song when I just want to let the day's stresses and strains melt away. When the guitar solo happens I nearly levitate. The lyric "Be the writer of your own story" has become my motto. I have seen the band live three times this year and each time was like a religious experience. Quite simply the best rock band I have ever listened to.

Saw there live set at Prima Vera Sound Festival in Spain in the Spring and have had a deep dive into this band. It’s my soundtrack loud on earphones as I work. I fell in love.

The KEXP version of this is phenomenal

the war on drugs is insane ! love from india

Listen to all their songs!! I've gotten introduced to them when I heard their song 'Under the Pressure' on an episode of Bojack Horseman and I got hooked to them since. Please react to more of their songs. Also their live performances sound so much like their studio recordings so it's one thing I appreciate about them. Their KEXP performances are a gem

I understand having access to these great albums and exclusively listening to one song. Red Eyes was the WOD song I was stuck on for months

Today is the best day because i just discovered your channel :)

Thank you Scott. The War on Drugs brought me through the death of my dad, Tommy B. Harlon. Thanks for this video. Sincerely, Mica.

The War on Drugs has albums of this, they're all spectacular. Nice find.

Beautiful song. 💙

War on Drugs, Under the Pressure, live, at Lowlands Music festival. This is brilliant musicianship, incredible performance.

War on Drugs, Under the Pressure, live, at Edmonton Folk Music Festival. Broke the spell of the last 2 years. Set me free. Transcendental. Right?!

Like you, my first experience of listening WoD; hit me exactly same way, Album IS a masterpiece ! Band digs DEEPLY ❣️

LIsten to Holding On and Under Pressure. Daily listens for me.

It’s a very very special piece of music.

At the last part, it seems all my cells squeeze out all the pain.. This song makes me so Empty!

Try listening to this song called 'A little braver' by New Empire. It's quite underrated but really good.. Also, glad you made a different channel for music reactions 😁👍 I'm subscribed to both.

I hope you already discovered Red Eyes, Pain, Comin’ Through and Nothing To Find, the rest of masterpieces that this band has. 😉

Holding on and under the pressure to name a few. Cheers

Under the pressure is the War on Drugs song I can't get past. It's just so good.

Sounds like Bob Dylan meets John Meyer? (voice and I know that’s outrageous but it’s how I feel to me)

Also check Pain, Thinking Of A Place, An Ocean Between The Waves, Lost In The Dream

p.p.s I never knew videos like this existed on youtube, I suddenly feel less alone and crazy

The way i am you about this song

You gotta check out "Pain".. War on D

Imho, The War On Drugs is not a band for anyone suffering from depression. I've listened to a lot of their music and whilst it is beautifully crafted and clearly played by real musicians, I never feel uplifted after listening to a whole album. It is deep, but I also find it a bit dark and even a touch melancholic. But hey, we're all different and perhaps I'm wired strangely compared to others. I'm not knocking the band, just sayin' I can't wallow in their sound for too long or my mood begins to change and not in a way I want it to.

I think the opposite. A lot of Adam’s lyrics stem from his own struggles with depression, see “Burning” which is him addressing it and not letting it consume him in his entirety. In fact the whole “Lost in the dream” album rides that same theme. Incredibly introspective music and I find it has brought me a lot of peace. A deeper understanding is more melancholic yes, but again, it’s a journey. One that feels familiar to those suffering. Interesting how it resonates with you though!

@@gregorybrooke625 I respect your perspective absolutely. I think mine derives from hearing the human voice as a musical instrument. I don't pay close attention to the lyrics of any song, it's all about how the music makes me feel. I find ABBA's music uplifting but many of their lyrics speak of sadness and loss. I've listened to Pink Floyd, my all time favourite band, for over fifty years, but always to the music and rarely, except in the case of "Time", the lyrics. In this manner I can also enjoy musicians like Cheb Nasro (Algerian RAI) even though I haven't the first clue what he's singing about. I also enjoy Opera but speak no Italian. In my view there is no lyricist alive, or dead, who can compare to writers like Shakespeare and Marlow when it comes to using language to convey sentiment. But hey, they can't hold a candle to the positive emotions I feel when David Gilmour plays his guitar.

Thinking Of A Place - War On Drugs

Hearing early Dylan in his voice, maybe a bit of Jakob, Dylan's son.

Hi, what happened to your reaction to Spanish songs videos? I was looking for the caifanes and Jose Jose videos 😔

Hi Scott I want you to react to some of the songs from Indian music directors called AJAY and ATUL

Scott please react to Take it out on me by White Lies.

You should try sonu Nigam's "Abhi mujhme kahi" . You'll love Sonu after listening this one.

Really dude? Indian pop music hasn't progressed since the late 80s. Same crap of confused composers with a few exceptions, but no real path breaking stuff like The War On Drugs, Elbow, Fink, Of Monsters And Men.

If you like this type of music, try Bears Den.

Please react to "Laakh duniya kahe" from the film "Talaash"

you have to react to Abel Pintos

Do yourself a favor my friend and go plug into “Up all Night”. Just do it

Hey Scott, please react to Afreen Afreen
