      Interesting. Years ago, I played Strangest Thing in the car on a road trip. Days later I walked by my 13-year-old son’s room and to my surprise he was playing it over and over. True, good music touches us all. And this song is great! Unlike anything I’ve heard before. Huge fan of this band.

    I found this song (and album) a few nights ago while on a mushroom trip laying down thinking about my life and the existential crisis I seem to be going through as I approach 40. All the ways I’ve been so selfish as a person and lacking as a husband. This entire album (especially In Chains & this song) made me see my life through different eyes and I wept. Not for myself but for my wife, for us… for the distance that has grown between us. I grew comfortable in that space and I hadn’t realized how lonely she must be. But it also gave me hope and the clarity to know the path forward to show love unconditionally and unselfishly. If I could take one song with me when I die it will be this one. This album is absolutely perfect. Thank you Adam. 🙏🏼

    I have never found another band where-- each time I listen to one of their songs-- I say to myself 'No, THIS one is the best I've heard!' I can CERTAINLY say that about this band. This is one of the more beautiful pieces of art ever created.
    The lyrics: 'But I ain't got everything I need
    If I'm just living in the space between
    The beauty and the pain'...
    Are hauntingly true. I can find myself, lose myself, then find myself all over again when I listen to The War on Drugs.

    After I heard this song for the first time, I was MIND-FUCKING-BLOWN. There were tears streaming out of my eyes, I was hyperventilating, my spine was tingling like no tomorrow... I felt like I'd been reborn, like everything that had ever happened to me before then had just ceased to exist and my life had reset completely. It actually took me a while to get back to feeling normal again, but I didn't care at all. When a song does that to you, you have to treasure it until your very last breath.

    "Strangest Thing"
    Sun rise in the East
    Howl at the day
    I've been hiding out so long
    I gotta find another way
    Late at night I wanna see you
    Well my eyes, they begin to fade
    Am I just living in the space between
    The beauty and the pain
    And the real thing
    Now the sky is painted
    In a wash of indigo
    I've been holding on too long
    In the howling of this cold
    I recognize every face
    But I ain't got everything I need
    If I'm just living in the space between
    The beauty and the pain
    It's the strangest thing
    Yeah, she runs surrounding me
    Surrounded by the hole
    Surrounded by no other
    I wanna run home
    Yeah, I can run slowly
    Don't run away again
    Yeah, I can run home
    Don't run away again
    I wanna run, I wanna run

      Amazing to me how each instrument on even his previous album was able to carry the melody and then bring the song to a point where they all just crash and blend together - to the point where the instruments are literally arguing for who is going to get it next, bringing the song to this chaotic level while still being able to blend the sounds and carry it out into an outro. This guy is one of the greatest composers in the industry today. TWOD reminds me of that angst of Mellencamp, Dylan, Young, and Petty rolled into one - TWOD will stand the test of time; music like this is timeless,
