    Today is my firstborn son's birthdate. He passed away 3yrs ago due to a fentanyl overdose. As I was thinking of him today, this song came on. First time I ever heard it. Took my breath away, even more when I watched the video. Timothy was a BMX rider and I would take him and his friends into Philly to ride. Thank you so very much for this priceless gift your band as given me.

    I feel the War on Drugs have produced a sound that no other band have over the last decade. Their music is so gorgeous it can't be overstated. This song is pure fire but they have so many others.
    'Thinking of a place' is just phenomenal, nothing short of life changing.

      Patterson Hood of the Drive By Truckers talks about what he calls “perfect songs,” which couldn’t possibly be made better by changing anything about them. This is a perfect song, and the way he weaves such atmospheric sounds into lyrics so deep is actually quite spiritual. Pain and fear are so basic to being human, and the way he touches on them takes what’s often seen as negative and flips it to an expression of human connection and solidarity. This isn’t just a “perfect song.” I don’t know if you could make a more perfectly human piece of art at all.

    That solo at the end is like guitar turned into the human emotion of pain; its like it is aggravated and distressed that it cant change and it works with the song so well, we start to hear small changes that only hint at attempts to make something work/change only to be caught in the same note again(pain), then it carries on over the melody which I interpret as life is always painful, however it shows the human spirit of wanting to make it work...what?.... Wow. The musicality and innovation of this band is unheard of.

    Lyrics:
    Go to bed now I can tell
    Pain is on the way out now
    Look away, a domino falls away
    I know it's hard lookin' in
    Knowin' that tomorrow you'll be back again
    Hang your head and let me in, I'm waitin'
    So long
    I was staring into the light
    When I saw you in the distance, I knew that you'd be mine
    Am I movin' back in time?
    Just standin' still?
    I met a man with a broken back
    He had a fear in his eyes that I could understand
    I can't even shake the pain without breakin'
    I've been pullin' on a wire, but it just won't break
    I've been turnin' up the dial, but I hear no sound
    I resist what I cannot change
    And I wanna find what can't be found
    I'm aware you're tired and lost
    Like a demon in a doorway, waiting to be born
    But I'm here all alone, just beggin'
    Pull me close and let me hold you in
    Give me the deeper understanding of who I am
    Yeah, I'm going back again, I'm waiting here
    I'm just pullin' on a wire, but it just won't break
    I've been turnin' up a dial, but I hear no sound
    I resist what I cannot change, own it in your own way
    Yeah, I wanna find what can't be found

      Yes, it's really hard to find any upside to dealing with chronic pain, but I've always found that music helps. I have chronic pancreatitis and sometimes just eating food can cause severe bouts of visceral pain. Nothing like sweating and literally being worn out and shaking from weakness from having to endure severe pain for hours on end. But, music definitely helps, sometimes a lot. Very thankful to have access to music such as this.

It astounds me how governments around the globe have not put a "wanted dead or alive" on the pharmaceutical companies that have murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent people. This is just unacceptable. I know that I'm getting involved. I called his doctor's office and gave a warning of the legal nightmare that he is about to endure. This poison called opioid medication should only be dispensed if someone is in hospital - but never otherwise. Drug trafficking should be dealt with as the Laws in Singapore state, "The penalty for drug trafficking in Singapore is death." I don't call this brutality - I call this murder. And the drug companies get off the hook by filing bankruptcy. Change must come... change WILL come. Be blessed.
