Never have a song been played so many times and still not feel boring
It was my top listened song on Spotify and I was wondering how. You are right you don't get bored of it.
Lost in the dream is arguably the best album of this decade.
Not arguably
@@31alking not at all
This is still the most beautiful song ever. The one that makes me miss my friends, and the one that makes me hope someone is here still after me, listening to this, and immersing into beautiful thoughts with this song, hopefully into thoughts including that perception of me who loved this song and missed my friends
Me too, this song is so amazing ❤
Ocean inbetween the waves. Also great song
I streamed this song over 5k times in 2022 according to apple
The guitar riff + the keyboard during the chorus just kills it... brilliant
Samuel Morris-Rosenstein yep
The Drummer is absolutely creasing me with his facial expressions, love it best band band I've heard for ages
Man his drummer face cracks me up in all their kexp live performances. Esp their recent set for greater understanding album. Man kills it though.
dont think you understand how it feels to singe that shit in behind a tight ass band, such a great feeling....
He knows he's creating magic that touches people's soul. When this song really gets going you know it can something special.
The drummer's facial expressions are my favorite :)
Like an SNL sketch......the faces he makes
Feeling every part of the music
Anna McMurdie sometimes when i look št him he seems like a magician with a magic stick
Guitarist's great too:)
Lol, he was feeling it, Or he was on something.
I just can't believe how brilliant this song is!
Told the same thing after the third time ive heard this song.
they've got to be one of the most underrated bands I've ever come across. I can't stop listening!
2023. Still the best song i've ever heard.
9 years on and I still play this track on repeat. Such a wonderfully crafted song, forever one of my favourites
Absolutely, great song .
Certainly very American as far as his influences go. I hear Jerry Garcia riffs, Lindsey Buckingham solos, Bob Dylan meets Tom Petty vocals with a little Jackson Browne ambience thrown in there as well. I have to say the whole thing is put together beautifully. He's a Class A songwriter.
That snare sounds amazing.
Yessir
Whomever engineers KEXP stuff is a hero.
his guitar solos hit the spot every time!!
This is so magical, Feels so euphoric
Thank God for art and artists like this 🙏🏻
@SamuelEMPowell131 great recommendation 👍🏻 thanks!
Total musical nutrition..I'm blown away every time I hear this song!! A perfect balance of happy and sad, I'm happy when I hear it and sad when it ends.....
You don't know what is behind but realy makes me feel like child in 80's hearing this collage of sounds. Eyes dropping tears and feel like can fly.
This song makes me feel so alive. It’s in damn near all of my playlists.
they discoverd the difinition of music, it's such a great song
this song is the only thing I have listened to since April, beautiful
Svea Conrad same here. 4 years later. april 1st, 2019. first time listening it. and i know this will be the only song i’ll be hearing for the coming weeks.
Just when I thought real music was lost..brilliance!..but this has been happening to me for decades, thanks to listening to KEXP....Thank You KEXP!....Thank You War on Drugs, Antlers, LCD Soundsystem, Echo and the Bunnymen, Ultravox, Big Country, Hidden Cameras, Magnetic Fields, L VonBeethoven, Verdi, Lone Justice, and on, and on :))
KEXP + Best Radio Station EVER!
lutz luhmann Amen!
... and Jonathan Wilson.
My favorite part is when the song picks up at 1:51
One of the best bands out there right now! Great great song!
Best current live band (sorry U2)--I'm in my 70's ,seen them all; Adam and the band are exceptional,sold out in St Paul , here soon!!
What a song! And that bassline.. Hoho!
Charlie's toms and snare never disappoint
One of the best live performances I've ever seen caught on video. Pure magic!
Could be one of the cleanest, coolest recordings I’ve ever heard, esp. after the halfway mark. What a guitar, bass, and drum tone!
The KEXP sound engineers are in a class of their own.
This band is so great... It's like Bob Dylan's vocals mixed with something like the Dire Straights in terms of acoustics. Just amazing!
Perfect!
from some 3 weeks only listen to this song
now it's 7 weeks:D Im really addicted! xD
yeah...his stuff pulled me out of cold turkey....the proof,his music is worth a lot....big time!!
it's still going :D 9 weeks
masterqbaPL keep on going!
Still going? I am.
I love this sound so energetic, so lucid and full of vitality, it is one of my favorite songs! never stop playing 🤟🏻🌃💫✨🎶💞🥂
LYRICS (LIVE on KEXP)
The War on Drugs - Red Eyes
(VERSE 1)
Come and see
Where i witness everything
On my knees
(you got to) Beat it down to get to my soul
Against my will
When anyone could tell us you're coming
But Baby don't mind
You leave it on a line, leave it hanging on a rail
(VERSE 2)
Come and ride away
It's easier to stick to the old (ods)
When you're surrounded by the night
Surrounded by the night and you don't give it in
But you abuse my faith
Losing every time and i don't know where
(yeah) You're on my side (again)
So ride the heat wherever it goes
I'll be the one i can't (whoo!)
(CHORUS)
Come and ride away
You can see it in the dark night touching my soul
When you can see through the darkness coming my way
(yeah) you won't get lost inside it all again
(BRIDGE)
Am i right? no one sees you around here waiting
They don't mind, that i'm here, i hear
For the best way, are you mine against it?
(yeah) I would keep you here, but i can't (even)
Oh, the right way i don't want to see it
And i don't see it anywhere i turn, yeah
(CHORUS)
Come and ride away
You can see it in the dark night touching my soul
Yeah i can see it in the darkness coming my way
Yeah you won't get lost inside it all
You're all i shall...
How can i see the day before the night
How can i see the *hum* before the time
Yeah you won't get lost inside it all
You're all i know... (whoo!)
My favorite version of my favorite song
The drummer is overcooooooooolll
killer performance
I'll be the one, I can't, whooooo!!!!!
coming my way......running in the dark
beautiful
Shooter McGavin on the drums everyone.
Yet another example of the KEXP performance outshining the recorded version.
Jonathan Wilson is another example.
I don’t think any version can compare to the intensity of the studio recorded orignal, it’s truly a powerful modern masterpiece.
I feel like the acoustic is too loud here.. The recorded version is so perfect
Jesus, this knocks the socks off the radio edit. So much more bite - please release this version.
The snare on this performance sounds so good.
My favorite song and my favorite version of it
Amazing band and music. Excellent ! I hope to see and hear from you in Barcelona, you will fill the stadium of FC. Barcelona. I've heard all the songs almost 30 times , and again , each time it gives me goosebumps
What a tune
Brilliant gorgeous song. Reaches your soul.
The bassist is rocking a hella dope t-shirt!
love em, new favourite band
I love seeing passion more than anything.
Simply brilliant!
Epic track . Love it
These guys are fuckin’ ace! Had this track on all summer, that guitar playin’ 💥💥💥
This band is one the best things to come up in the past decade.
It is one hell of a song.
Thank you War On Drugs for this song
Ik. liebe diese Band .
Sublime, simply sublime.
Badass. Fucking badass
Guess what? I still LOVE this live perfomance! still love this song! Thats how my soul sounds :3
Today I'm celebrating with my sennheiser's the year of the phenomenon, because I listen to it every day and never got bored! :D
Thank you KEXP and The War on Drugs
the first time i heard this song was, when my wife and i travelled through aragon and katalunya in july 2017 with our camping car. it was damned hot, even in the mountains there. and we found by chance a public outdoor pool in Tremp. i went twice into the water, the rest of the afternoon i listend to an incredible good alternative and punk and avantgarde rock mix. in a public outdoor pool. and than came this song and put this day on an other higher level.
Just the singer and drummer are feeling it man , everyone else is dead , especially the acoustic player ! He looks totally out if it
seems like they play it too much, its like boring to them now.
Thank you Tom Ravenscroft for introducing me to these absolute musical pros. I never get tired of listening to this song.
This song is life
Kevin Suggs, I love you!
What a tune!!!!! ❤️
I love this guitar .
Excited to listen to the radio again....even if it's only on satelite.
amo esta canción, esta versión....
I'm in total adoration.
I loved it. Been looking for something to love.
| will always cry to this.
Totally adicted to this... Nice band and vibe.
I have never heard something like this, really happy that i found this band :)
Incredible song
man i just found this song its mindblowing !!!!! pls come to Romania
I bet Bruce Springsteen wishes he wrote this song...
War on Drugs wish were Bruce more like
great song though
Often said I wish he'd cover them
Yeah, I think that often when listening to these guys. His vocal delivery and the way he sings the cadence of his lines is very Boss.
i think the same, but it's not a bad thing :)
what a performance
God damn that build up at 1:40
Holy fucking goosebumps everywhere.
I remember when this album wAs released. Still steamrolling me in the most gorgeous, yet subtle of fucking ways..
If songs bring back vibrant, important times in my life: I fucking picked well..
Just found out about this song and band through Apple Music and probably played it 5x in a row, man what a great sound.
Best live version
Soaring brilliance!
This is beautiful. Thanks.
Best band this millennium!
What a great band
Who can't stop listening? June 2017 crowd where we at?
fucking love this band. found them the other day and their tattood on my mind now.

Im in love....thats it...love
