It's amazing how TWOD keeps getting better as a band. This album is pure gold! The melodies are sharper, the sound is steady, and the guitar waves are beautifully intertwined with the bass, drums, piano, synth. Great album & phenomenal band!
It's more produced and fits more suitably into their ideal genre. But to the cost of their authenticity, their music used to have. I finally accepted that the magic from Lost In the Dream will be something from the past. But the fact that they made an album as perfectly beautiful as that is enough for me. Its sound was universal, unlike their new work which seems to have a clear direction, as if formulated by an algorithm,
All these musicians are incredible. I never get tired of watching Charlie on his drum kit. I hope you guy's win your second best rock album Grammy...you deserve it.
@@rtrout57 How come? Their single, “I don’t live here anymore” should nab a nomination at least. Grammy’s aren’t the be-all, end-all of course, but to fortify their legitimacy, the academy should occasionally nominate serious artists.
I've been obsessed with 2-chord songs for a while now and I came to realize that most of the songs that draw my interest lately are 2-chord songs like 'I Don't Live Here Anymore'. I think it tells a lot about a band, producer and songwriter that they can elevate a 2-chord harmony to so many different heights, opening up sonic landscapes with a non-stop infectious groove that just makes you feel like you're on a never-ending trip to paradise. You can begin your journey discovering 2-chord songs with 'Dreams' by Fleetwood Mac and 'Horse With No Name' by America. Of course there are hundreds of classic songs with 2 chords but it's always a pleasant surprise when you find new modern bands that can build up on that and expand. The War on Drugs did it perfectly with 'I Don't Live Here Anymore'. If you know more addictive 2-chord songs, please, let me know.
I just discovered this band 3 days ago. I'm totally obsessed !!!!The Sound quality that this band is creating is beautiful. Best band I've heard in years. ❤️❤️🎸 Loving that solid bass line, tight drums, and meditative keyboard sounds
Only discovered them yesterday and oh my God I think they sound a lot like Tom Petty and several ways but they're fucking amazing over the top the just amazing
The mix here is amazing, it is live! Who is ‘coaster’ .? The sound is scary good, as is the band! Revealing the complexity of outstanding modern sound! However you still need the root cause- TWOD!!
@@paulkubic786 I saw them live in Birmingham, UK in April, and the sound quality that night was also superb. As was the entire staging of the gig. A truly memorable concert.
The heart and soul you guys put into your music! Absolutely in love with The War On Drugs 😍 “Change” is the one I’ve been listening to the most and this live version of it is incredible!
Adam is having fun on this one and enjoying it you can tell. Another incredible album from start to finish 👌 Did anyone notice that after Adam sang “…and we went to see Bob Dylan, we danced to Desolation Row” that he sang the next line like Bob Dylan?! So cool 😎
I'm new to this band and im blown away, first of all the drummer sounds like a metronome, amazing :) And the second track just hit me like a truck, so beautiful, with heavenly guitarparts that i could listen to repeat for a few hours...in fact...i have been :)
This is the same the same exact feeling I had in 1977, when I walked into band class early, and Led Zeppelin IV was on a turntable, and I listened and fell in love with music. It felt like I knew what music was supposed to be. A certain clarity, a certain recognition of beauty. The War on Drugs exemplify sonic existential perfection that escapes my description. Can't explain it, just feel it. Thanks guys.
An amazing session, amazing music, just as everything these guys do. Such vibes, such emotions with only music. Tour South America!! Just a quick correction World Cafe, the order of the set list would be: I Don’t Live Here Anymore; Change; Old Skin; I Don’t Wanna Wait.
Our daughter, 1 now, loves this set. No joke. She loves being in my arms and watching this, especially during the last song with the backup singers (which is phenomenal)
Got goosebumps listening to this! I went to see them live last night in Lisbon, just stunning! Technically perfect, beautiful vocals, just mesmerising! And Charlie was hugely entertaining on the drums... We only went there to see this band, but Adam kept saying "Coming up next, The Strokes!" I wonder if they realised how many people were there just to see them, and didn't really care about who was coming on after their set... Can't wait to see them again somewhere, planning a trip just around it!
These guys really made it but Adam you are one amazing dude. If ever the word 'persevere' would be relevant then it would be in your case. I've been awaiting the latest album with the highest of hopes but it's friggin awesome.. again! To come back after a grammy winning album in this awesome form is absolutely incredible. Can't wait to meet you in Europe early next year! the War on Drugs is the show to see.. It's never been a war really but more like a love story :)
Wonderful group of pros totally bringing together their talents to create such a crisply production. Wow on whom ever did the levels on this. BRAVO.. It's sonically bliss to hear on great headphones. I miss watching people jamming out in a comfy space with each other playing good stuff after say 10 times. it probably is so sound perfect. I'd love to watch the process with these folks. True Fan here. Thank You @World Cafe ; for having such a great group of players ..TWOD... Stay Safe. I'd love to see them at MSG but this storm coming in.. is not going to be good =. I hope they reschedule the show. its going to be bad down in NYC towards LI the evening of the show on Sat. in Manhattan.
I kept checking to see if that MSG show was cancelled but no, it wasn't, yet was still packed and a GREAT SHOW! It might have been very difficult and next to impossible depending on the transportation and the roads. Hope you do catch them though; I think this was my 5th live TWOD show. I just can't get enough of them! I've loved them since I heard their music playing on a snowy spring day in 2015 in a restaurant in NYC, and asked our waiter "who is that - sounds like Dylan?"!
I'm usually not loyal to bands, because when you have albums as good as a Deeper Understanding, it's difficult to follow up. They've not only followed it up, but equalled it. I'm in love with this album. Old Skin, Harmonias Dream, Wasted, I'm having love affairs with these songs
was that "ready codester?" that i heard in the beginning?? that was my late father's nickname for me and he's the only person in the universe who called me that. never thought i'd hear it again
The rhythm section is so tight in this performance. Charlie is locked in like Charlie Watts, and David's simple yet complex bass lines keep everything moving. A great base for the layers upon layers of sonic goodness on top.
If "in chains" and "eyes to the wind" got together and had a baby...this would be its offspring. Perfectly healthy adorable. Best I've heard them sound ever!
I’ve never been so excited to see any other live show then them! The War On Drugs carriers so many pieces of my soul through their music. This album is no exception. I will never forget the exact place I was at when I first heard An Ocean In Between The Waves. The same goes for I Don’t Live Here Anymore. Thanks for making these incredible songs 🎶
I resent the label of “dad rock”. The Band of Horses fit into that stereotype, no? TWOD are more than a stoner band with nostalgic flashes. It’s the lyrics and distinctive sound that transcends.
Absolutely amazing performance! TWOD is by far my favorite modern band outside of metal, they touch my soul like no other pop/rock band of this millennia, feelings of nostalgia in over drive
This is music for adults. Don't recommend it for children, they will not understand without tutelage, good stuff!!!! Drummer is a hoot, and the rest of the band who have been there a while getting to rise together is very cool. Deep, thoughtful lyrics and all around very enjoyable listening. Thumbs way up!
Interesting to see the different approaches of same song and location, Tiny Desk so subtle, and this one so powerful, wow, the the close up shot from him everytime he sings "i dont live here anymore.."
Best rock band in the world right now.
Fact..
Exactly!
Right behind Wilco. Both awesome live.
Yes no argument. This is the Zeppelin or whatever of this generation
Yes they are the best now..
Me 70 years old, totally flabbergasted by this band. Probably the musical revalation of the 2000's. Buy the albums people !!
"I don't wanna wait" should win a Grammy . One of the best songs ever written.
I'm glad I'm not the only 1, I keep wondering why this song isn't better known. I've had it on repeat all week. haha.
@@gav240z what a fantastic sound they make. Love this band
rolon
Pyramid - when that piano kicks in, goose bumps
Mark Knopfler: if your listening: please play with this band
My nephew said this weekend : auntie you have to listen to ‘’the War on Drugs’’ you’ll love it! My nephew is a smart cookie 🥰
That's beyond precious 😍 😮😂😂😂
It's amazing how TWOD keeps getting better as a band. This album is pure gold! The melodies are sharper, the sound is steady, and the guitar waves are beautifully intertwined with the bass, drums, piano, synth. Great album & phenomenal band!
Agree 100% - best album of the year by far imo.
Looking forward to Jan 27 at the Met. Mask up and vax up people
@@wmp3346 will be there too. Should be an awesome show.
Lost in the Dream was a better album. This one is still solid though.

The guitar sounds and the relaxed song structure have a glorious 80-ies feel over it....never heard this before and glad I just did.
Literally one of the best recorded videos I've ever heard. Every member has such incredible tones and kudos to whoever mixed this. Unreal band
Some great engineers behind the incredible mix, indeed!
Agrred
All these musicians are incredible. I never get tired of watching Charlie on his drum kit.
I hope you guy's win your second best rock album Grammy...you deserve it.
Agreed! you are exactly right !!
I Don't think it was elligable this year. But, there should be an exception in this case as it might be forgotten next year.

I absolutely agree, esp the Grammy part, aren't they excellent, they just grow on you
@@austintrousdale2397 Fuck the Grammies. I Don't Live Here Anymore is such a masterpiece anyone can tell. Who needs an award.
Having a cup of coffee and listening to The War on Drugs... Life is made of tiny awesome moments like this. Thank you! Love from México!

I’m crying haven’t heard great sounds in so long long time
I honestly cannot stop watching this, absolutely mind blowing production and the tones are flawless. ❤️
To make this even better, they have an REM Life's Rich Pageant poster in the background 👏
Simply the best band in the world. They take music to a mystical level and awaken feelings never before experienced.
Thanks guys for your work!!!!!
Yeah it's bizarre I've never had this kind of experience

🤣🤣🤣
Full on Dylan impressions for the last 5 years lol. Still great band though.

Rock Lives in this band
Utterly incredible! Best band around.
The heart and soul you guys put into your music! Absolutely in love with The War On Drugs 😍 “Change” is the one I’ve been listening to the most and this live version of it is incredible!
Change is one of mine too 🙌 right up there w/ Old Skin, Harmonia’s Dream and Occasional Rain for me (for right now)
But the whole record is👌
One of the greatest bands I have ever listened to. Long life to these amazing musicians!
this audio version is better than the tiny desk
Agree!
Absolutely! I Don’t Live Here Anymore is also better here, more energetic and closer to the album plus with backing vocals
If this song doesn't get the TWOD over with the masses I give up.. belter..
let the masses have their asap and eat it..
This is beautiful music. Very uplifting when times can seem can seem so dark.
The mix on this session is impeccable. Album quality recording. Man, modern tech....
if only the actual album mix was this good, am I right?
Lord have mercy!!! Love you guys and gal
Rock vom feinsten, alles stimmt, derzeit eine der besten Bands der Welt
Can`t stop listening to this, especially change. It`s perfect.
Adam is having fun on this one and enjoying it you can tell. Another incredible album from start to finish 👌
Did anyone notice that after Adam sang “…and we went to see Bob Dylan, we danced to Desolation Row” that he sang the next line like Bob Dylan?! So cool 😎
And before that was the line "A creature void of form"...
Nasal factor increased by 200%, well spotted
Yes!!! That was awesome! Thanks for pointing it out!
And does a little smile after 😆
@@Twod1980 love it
These guys…….OMG WOW the best. Beautiful wall of sound. Can’t get enough.
Happy 1 year to this video. Still as great.
I'm new to this band and im blown away, first of all the drummer sounds like a metronome, amazing :) And the second track just hit me like a truck, so beautiful, with heavenly guitarparts that i could listen to repeat for a few hours...in fact...i have been :)
Love the piano solo on Change. This version really makes me think of Bruce Hornsby
Absolutely!! Robbie Bennett from about last 3rd to end. Spectacular!
🤔, thought the same! Riveting gentle section 👌
This is the same the same exact feeling I had in 1977, when I walked into band class early, and Led Zeppelin IV was on a turntable, and I listened and fell in love with music.

Can't explain it, just feel it. Thanks guys.
That drum sound.. just wow
That bass tone is equally as enviable. It's the best kind of compressed and almost overdriven, but also clear and thick. A+
"were all just walking through this darkness on our own" .... powerful! That part of the chorus with the ladies is right-on!
Yea, the lyrics to there stuff is awesome!!!
5:20
Anyone else notice? How the last few notes sound like the guitar is saying: "I don't live here anymore"
4:30
21:24
Those beautiful choir voices in the background..
anybody knows who are those girls? They are not in the credits. They are amazing!
Just now discovering this band by watching a performance on Austin City Limits on PBS channel weekend of Jan. 28th/29th. Their sound is mesmerizing.
The crush began in 2015 and now the love is 7 years old and growing! Almost every day I have TWOD as background music at work, loving it all the day!
15:57 life’s rich pageant REM poster! 👍🙂🙂
An amazing session, amazing music, just as everything these guys do. Such vibes, such emotions with only music.
Tour South America!!

I used to have friends that didn’t like The War On Drugs… I told them that “They Were On Drugs and to fuck off!”
La mejor banda del momento ¡Que no decaiga la inspiración! ¡Viva The War on Drugs!
Every track is just so uplifting and Adam's vocals sound better every record!
I love the sound of this band. As a musician I have so much respect and admiration for their growth musically as a collective.
In love with the back vocals, please bring them to the shows! See u in Frisco War, huge love from Chile 🖤
definitely a great addition in this new album! :)
Oh man...good idea. I'm seeing them in NYC, for that concert Lucious should make a showing!
@@deepfocus888 Madison Square? Dream concert.
does anyone know the names of the ladies who do the backing vocals?
@@deepfocus888 was a great concert
Just saw these fellas in Edinburgh. Superb live band. Loved every minute.
Gutted i missed them
They are great, they seem to get better and better and every song becomes a part of you once you've heard it- how special is that
Pure musical brilliance. Keep it up, guys. You have something real special here.
That was perfection from beginning to end.
I really wanted to hear Harmonia’s Dream, but still an incredible set. Post Harmoni’s soon please 😅🙏🏼
Wonderfull song indeed😃
I heard the album version......This is much better!!! Them drum cymbals sound tonnes clearer plus the bass is great.What a fckin SONG.
It is mind-blowing how good this band is. 🤯
My first twod concert in Wiesbaden yesterday after two fucked up years. Almost 24 hours later still feeling the vibes. Amazing band.
21’s Top Band, melodic, with a wall of sound! Grammy, again??
Anyone else get Gin Blossoms vibes from this album? And that’s a good thing.
was that "ready codester?" that i heard in the beginning?? that was my late father's nickname for me and he's the only person in the universe who called me that. never thought i'd hear it again
This cut of Change needs to be its own video. The mix checks every single audio nerd box. This is amazing.
Awww this song is Heaven, an audiophile’s Paradise!

I am happy when Charlie is happy 😊
Dude, that smile says it all. So good.
True that! He enjoys beating that ride so much! and the song of course! such a Tom Petty feel to it. Love it!
La escuche recien por radio doble nueve de Lima, excelente grupo un sonido ochentero , ojala vengan a Perú.....

Omg. 100%. especially for Ocean in between the waves :)
The production is mind blowing.
Love how loud the bass is here
I got tickets for this great band. They are the best of the best.
Love love love y’all’s music. Thank you for touching my soul.
Love the female background vocals. Adds sooooo much.
Lucius is a wonderful addition, and so in their right, fit well with this outstanding band!!
@@paulkubic786 It's not Lucius performing the backing vocals in this live version
YES 👌
A new added dimension to vocals 🙂
does anyone know the names of the ladies who do the backing vocals?
Does anybody know who the back up singers are here? There are no credits with them. They are amazing!
I resent the label of “dad rock”. The Band of Horses fit into that stereotype, no? TWOD are more than a stoner band with nostalgic flashes. It’s the lyrics and distinctive sound that transcends.
Ojala vengan por Argentina, hay gente que queremos verlos y oirlos en directo. Alta banda TWOD.
I can give no higher compliment than the fact that "Old Skin" surpasses Springsteen at his best.
holy fucking shit everything sounds perfect... dream tones
Great writing, vocals, and or course magnificent tone, live!, sound is amazing, real professionals!!
0.24 Charlie Hall's expression as he lays it down ❤️🔥 Epic set by all musicians involved! Peace 🤘
I could listen to these four songs forever.
turn up the sax for cripes sake
What an incredible sound you guys have every song is a masterpiece!!!
Absolutely amazing performance! TWOD is by far my favorite modern band outside of metal, they touch my soul like no other pop/rock band of this millennia, feelings of nostalgia in over drive
