my wife passed away in 2016.. I've been so lonely since then & can't find my way back to happiness without her.. I heard this song today & I realized that there's so many things were left unsaid. I wish the WALLS had come down before her passing. I took her for granted..I miss you Bonnie. Today ,tomorrow & forever.
Sorry to hear your story, there isn't too much you can say to someone in so much pain but I will say this to you. Don't beat yourself up because you think you didn't treat her the way you should. She knows you love her and I'm sure the last thing she would want is for you to feel the way you do. Remember the good times you had and don't regret a single thing. Stay positive, it's what she would have wanted.
Sadness, but a lesson for the rest of us to learn. Never take time for granted. {{Huggs}} Hope a year has helped you move forward a little as I'm sure Bonnie would have wanted for you. PEACE
chupacabra alienstardust forza amico! La vita va avanti... lei vorrebbe tu andassi avanti... scusa se non scrivo in inglese... spero le mie parole ti arrivino comunque! Good luck
It's astounding how this band has changed its sound over the course of the years, but has still managed to retain the uniqueness it brought in their debut. We can spend our lifetimes debating the old versus the new, but the truth of the matter is: they were fucking great back then, and they're fucking great right now.
Could you please tell me what is the meaning of the lyrics. I have been trying to put a clear meaning to them but I might be missing out something. What is your personal take?
The lyrics, the pain in his voice, the pain in his eyes and his facial expressions. This song breaks my heart every time. Love them. Who else cries listening to this?
I lost my mother when I was 4, I lost my father in his early 60's.My youngest son died at 7 months from SIDS and my oldest son was killed a car accident at 19. My wife of 46 years passed away. I learned at an early age to never build walls. You never know when you'll see someone for the last time
Lyrics- I can get there on my own You can leave me here alone I'm just tryin' to do what's right Oh, a man ain't a man unless he's fought the fight I could never point you out Waste of space in a faceless crowd Tell me what I have to say If you know what's right then you'll walk away When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down One by one I'm seein' them fall Some just don't show up at all I'm just here to fight the fire Oh, a man ain't a man unless he has desire And the walls come down And the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down You tore out my heart You threw it away A Western girl with Eastern eyes Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits Now there's nothing in the way In the way In the way In the way When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down You tore out my heart You threw it away Western girl with Eastern eyes Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits Now there's nothing in the way In the way In the way In the way
"A man ain't a man unless he has desire" best way to live life. if you're gonna do something, small or big in your life, do it with desire. One of the most memorable lyrics in all of music for me.
@Chinchilluppa, yes they are indeed, although personally Jared irritates me. I was hoping that Caleb would do something like this since 2011 when he sang an acoustic version of the runner at Slane.
I needed this band in my twenties - I'm 50 and I listen to this with a gentler heart, a wiser head and a tougher skin - but because of music I’m choosing to travel into my elderhood without bitterness. I’ve had the pleasure of five decades of great music alive. Being born in the 60’s means I also enjoyed my mother and fathers music from the 50’s and 60’s. I’m nostalgic in composing my playlists but I’m youthful in my continued exploration and experimentation in my musical flavours on the menu in the 21st century. I work with youth and I enjoy their amazing breadth and depth of choices available to them from the four corners of the worlds musical horizons. In the wealth of my extensive musical collection I will treasure this song and this band as one of the best ... Blessings all who are healing from the broken stuff of life with love and levity. Stay hopeful, choose creativity, listen more and walk into your elderhood with a great playlist … that you are here enjoying The Kings of Leon means you’re on a great path. Never take the simple pleasure of a great song for granted. Vinyl is King - but I praise the rock gods for TH-cam, Spotify, wifi and long drives in the sunset or starry kisses as the dawn leaves her lovers in the night while The Kings of Leon sing the Walls of any bitterness down. “The sun drowns no less than the ocean burns - the wise don’t leap from cliffs - they ascend on the wings of music.”
I heard this song about 1.5yrs ago in a diner right after my g/f of 9 years abandoning our son and I. I remember sitting in that diner feeling so utterly alone. A lot has changed since this feeling of solitude. I took my son and have full custody of him. He and I are better off without his mom. I met someone else since then and couldn't be happier. I was laying in bed last night and remembered that moment at the diner. I had to listen to this song again. It reminds of of some bad times but I cannot help but look back and reflect. I am smiling today.
@@IvryGagaryn I am very sorry you are in that difficult spot, Ivry. What got me out of that spot mentally was staying strong and knowing there was a light at the end of the tunnel. The moment you lose sight of that light, you can lose yourself in moments like that. Keep it together mentally, know that whatever you are going through isn't permanent, figure a way out to find your happiness. If you can do that, then you will find yourself back watching this video smiling.
You tore out my heart You threw it away ….is the part of the song that hurts the most. Because it’s the part you remember that you finally trusted that one person, and you opened up your true self, let yourself be vulnerable for the fist time and only for your little heart to be ripped out, crushed and thrown. It’s not what you expected and it’s not what you deserve, you deserve love and you will find happiness once again.
The last song my dad listen to before he passed. Been nearly 3 years. Its Christmas so i played it and had a drink for him. Maybe gone but never forgotten. Here's to you dad. Love you with all my heart. I'll keep moving forward and try to work my way through this life. Won't ever be the same without your guidance. But you taught me well. So ill do my best to pass it on and carry your ever glowing light. Miss you big man every day. Never be a day when your not in my thoughts. Thanks for every day of being my dad xx
I completely agree - sure, it isn't 'sex on fire' or 'comeback story' or anything but stillllll: very very VERY good music! I could never turn my back on these guys - seems like their songs are a soundtrack to my life...
Now I have to find meaning in the pain. Find forgiveness to keep me sane. In these tattered remains, I'll stay. forever a shadow of what could have been. A ghost, a phantom, a forgotten hymn. I'll search for treasure in sunken ships. Forever mourning what could've been.
Nambram Sophie ikr I’m looking into his face and it’s like he’s holding back from crying which hits me because I love his music and would never wanna see someone like him or anybody in this situation it hurts 💯
That's exactly what my wife did to me. And some of you so called men are laughing at me for it. Which makes me.afraid.for my wife what kind of Evil men has she rushed off too. None of you cruel sick assholes are good enough to love sams true self. Even I'm not.
This song is so powerful, his lyrics move me to a place of heartache, sorrow and healing all at same time. What a masterpiece it is. I love you Kings of Leon, thank you for this music.
I see so much hurt in his eyes. This song was close to his heart. He is an empath and feels deeply. He let someone in and he is thinking of being a man and doing whats right and got hurt. We all recover from letting the wrong people in our lives , we move forward and make a bad thing into a positive thing.
People talking about the meaning of the song, to me it sounds like, look I've let my walls down, I've let you in & you hurt me, what the hell am I supposed to do now? This gave me goosebumps ❤️
William you will find as you get older the music you listen to will change but form is temporary class is permanent and KOL have it in bucket loads. Always end up back listening to one of their albums
Me and my fiance had a discussion about Kings of Leon and I told her about becoming a fan of the band around the time they put out their second record. And I loved everything they have done since then. Now that I'm older I find it strange that we (fans) compete over how long you've been a fan of a band or which sound was more "them" and I said instead of us arguing over what sound was better or whether or not I've loved them longer than you have or vice versa... How about every time Kings of Leon puts out a song from now until the day we pass on... How about we just say thank you. Because I am 30 years old now and I'm not a fan of this sound or that sound... I just love Kings of Leon... So everything they release until the day they don't is a gift.
Exactly, what difference does it make when you discover a great band? I mean, can I not be a fan of The Beatles cuz I wasn't around when they were still a group?
Sometimes, it’s the loss of a dream, someone untouchable, a muse who doesn’t even know they’re your muse. This is the place this song touches me. To my core.
You're not alone man! Same story down here. Keep the courage, keep the faith and if children are involved: stay kind and collected at all cost. The sun will shine again.
I could be wrong, but a good friend I'd mine told me that kings of leon lead singer wrote this song about his battle with addiction. It's powerful. I am in recovery and the worst time my heart has ever been broken was when I realized that I was, in a sick way, in love with something that I trusted and depended on....then I realized it the one thing I loved the most was trying to kill me. Strange, but it broke my heart more than it made me angry. I was so deceived. This song is amazing and truly touches on the grieving process. Oddly enough, after seeing the truth and going through that grief, it helps to remind myself every now and then how much my addiction hurt me and the people who cared about me. I'm so grateful that "the walls" did come down. Powerful analogy.
@@jdean310I know it’s hard sometimes and you get to the point you can’t take anymore, always living on edge and you eventually have to set boundaries, but don’t give up!!
Please tell me he's not going through a divorce. It's absolutely wonderful to see these artists and actors stay in a marriage when there's so much Temptation in the world. The fact that nowadays you can stand a marriage and fight the fight and fight off temptation is one of the strongest and strengths the Lord can give us especially in these times❤
This song reminds me of a man I love with my heart and my soul. I haven't seen him for 35 years. I would have never thrown our love away. I would have fought for us. You never find love like this John Williams. I never forgot you and I believe in you. We just lost contact.
He died my heart is broken but my soul knows he will alway's be with me. He was my beautiful man 🤍 I never got to see him but connected to him and we spoke about and shared some beautiful conversations ❤ RIP JOHN I love you and will miss you forever xxx
lyrics: I can't get there on my own You can't leave me here alone I'm just trying to do what's right Oh a man ain't a man 'less he's fought the fight I could never point you out Waste of space in a faceless crowd Tell me what I have to say If you know what's right, then you'll walk away When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down One by one I've seen em fall Some just don't show up at all I'm just here to fight the fire Oh a man ain't a man 'less he has desire And the walls come down And the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down You tore out my heart And you threw it away The western girl with eastern eyes Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits Now there's nothing in the way In the way In the way In the way When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down You tore out my heart You threw it away The western girl with eastern eyes Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits Now there's nothing in the way In the way In the way In the way
He could easily be an actor..his eyes at the end and the way he looks deserves an oscar..awesome tune that gives you straight goosebumps..greetings from greece🇬🇷
they haven't 'done it' for a while now. this country song is kind of boring. they've been steadily regressing since 2008's Only by the Night album. decent albums, but no tracks that have come close to the creativity, catchiness, and overall success as those in 2008. the lead single now Waste A Moment sounds like a B-Side track on their 2010 album Come Around Sundown
GTFO with Only By the Night. Aha Shake Heartbreak and Because of the Times had some of their most creative songs by far, at least way more creative than any song Only By the Night had.
Wellll I'd be lyin' if I said "Aha Shake Heartbreak" wasn't their best but I genuinely think they are still making good songs. Don't need to fool anyone, loved them since I heard "Holy Roller Novocaine"
Bollocks it's a good song. But it's not a KOL song, they are youth and young manhood and it would be great if that was the charting stuff. Not what we've had post 2007 to sell out stadiums and arenas., they have the opportunity to play that stuff to millions and play soft rock pap instead.
I must have missed the part where I was boasting. I wasn't even someone who went to the gigs back then as I was 10 so can't exactly call myself a 'fanboi', still had the CD though aha. The music was better and I will never get why bands once they hit commercial success just go away from completely what made them a band. I'm all for writing chart friendly songs but several albums of it. If they've truly gone away from the early stuff fair play to them that's there prerogative. I'm just gonna find it harder to like. But then that's the same for a lot of 21st century music. The funny thing is if caleb doesn't have shoulder surgery and had been able to play a full range of chords, then only the night may never had existed and this conversation wouldn't be happen. The irony of your comment is hilarious mind, your probably too narrow minded yourself to see the hypocrisy. Apologies for having a opinion you disagree with, get over yourself ya daft fucking bint(see i can be pointlessly offensive too.)
To me, this song is a song from myself to myself. Only I see the entire history of my life, the good, the bad, the worst. I’ve fought against myself and have seen the light and dark sides of my headspace. And as I am now trying to actively choose myself and treat myself well, it hurts to see how I was nice to others, but not to me.
I was driving like at 5am and the sun was coming down, driving alone ain't fun without music so i plugged my phone and i forgot i had downloaded their new album, when this came on... man the feels.. The beat in the start like the one in Phil collins & genesis's Mama had me. Man I'll be forcing my kids to listen to this.
This came out in a time when my violently abusive EX-husband killed a child within and we got pregnant soon after. He almost took everything of me. When I was diagnosed with CPTSD, I could not even watch this video without crying my eyes out. It's been 9 years or less and I tap into my progression of healing by watching this video. I love Kings of Leon. I love you guys. I can watch this easily nowadays. Thanks for being a pivital point in my journey. Love this song!!!!!! Kisses and hugs...much 😍 😍 Love
I am never disappointed with KOL. Honestly this was everything I've needed these last several months and it was just in time. I've missed them. This was so beautiful!
Does anyone else get that uneasy feeling when he stares us down at the end of the video? He definitely had a certain someone in mind with that staredown. Made me feel uncomfortable like I was watching and listening to someone's argument that I shouldn't have been listening too...... ❤ much love for KOL thank you for the amazing new songs!
I'm living this song currently. Powerful lyrics. Just had my heart absolutely ripped out by the one person I loved for the first time in 8 years. I'm surviving through lyrics of songs like this.
This might be just me, but the part where he says "You tore up my heart", the beat shifts to what sounds like an anticipating heartbeat and I feel my own heartbeat racing. Amazing the effect music can leave you with.
The kings of Leon have proven true artistic growth, adding new dimensions to their style, amazing, original music & one of their best songs to date. These guys are talented artists!
As a man with crippling depression,acute anxiety and crippling panic attacks and icing on the cake being that I'm an overthinker ! This song just is home itself.
You literally just described myself as well, everything you said I deal with on a daily basis It's a really hard way to have to live life I know it all to well. Keep your head up bro!
My soulmate, best friend, mother of my child, and wife of 10 years Ashley passed away on March 31st 2022..... So many of these songs held me together before they bonded us together ironically at this point could these songs could COMPLETELY tear me apart! In our 10 years together we went through so many things in life we went from the bottom of the deepest pit to see highest peak most of all we went from surviving life to living it 7 years into our relationship we have a perfect little boy when we had all but forgone the notion of having a child I will never be able to tell someone I love them and it be 100% truth because it will not mean the same thing to them that it meant when I said it to her she left me with the most amazing gift anyone could give... another life.... our little boy who's approaching 4 years old...
@@kimrice6978 Thank you, I know TH-cam isn't the place to find closure or have group meetings about each other's horribly tragic story while being inconsiderate of somebody else enjoying a song who unintentionally falls into the comment section and becomes depressed but sometimes when you're hurt bad enough you don't realize how senseless you may become before the bomb dropped at my house I remember reading things like that thinking "damn I just wanted to listen to a song and see what other people thought about it now I'm saddened and in my own head because of what I read about other people" ....?
I will be praying for you brother. It’ll never make sense, but with time it will get easier. All you can do now is be the best father in the world! Anyway, I’m so sorry for your loss. This just hit hard bc I have 2 beautiful baby girls and am no longer with their mother. Her and I do not communicate so sometimes it feels she doesn’t exist & that’s really hard. This comment just makes me realize I need to appreciate life for what it is, a blessing. God is the only thing that’s helped, though I understand our circumstances are drastically different. I never reply to comments online, but felt the need to here. 🙏
Ich liebe diesen Sound so. Selten so einen berührenden Sound gehört...nimmt mich mit. Stets prallte ich gegen die Mauern, mit meiner Ehrlichkeit, mit meiner Gutherzigkeit, so wie ich halt bin und stets trampelte der Mann dann über die gefallene Steine, übersah mich und ging seinen Weg....der Sound lässt mich über die fallenden Steine der brechenden Mauern schweben. Lieben Dank.
p.S. Hier in Englisch, dank Translater: I love that sound so much. Rarely heard such a touching sound ... takes me away. I always hit the walls with my honesty, with my kindness, as I am and the man always trampled over the fallen stones, overlooked me and went his way .... the sound lets me over the falling stones breaking walls float. A heartfelt thank you.
For every joyful moment in my life, for every devastating heartbreak, for every let down, accomplishment, failure, KOL has been right there with me. ❤️
If you're reading this, i hope you have a good life :) Remember to say the people you love, that you love them, and tell the truth to everyone, whenever you can.
Lonely is one of the worst feelings in this world. We take a lot for granted sometimes. When the walls come down everything changes but it takes so much vulnerability. It is not safe to play with someone's feelings whose walls have come down. My walls are not being lonely but struggles of recovery from drug addiction. I am grateful that my walls came down it saved my life.
I too fought addictions and lost the love of my life bc of it when he left me bc of it. During that same time, month apart I lost my brother bc of addictions n suicide. Loneliness kiked in hard, there's loneliness from addictions bc its like a love too n it's gone. It's been 6 yrs clean of pp and alcohol. The first yr I did nuthin but look at the walls, no tv ... praying, thinking n crying. Each yr got better as God worked on my life to get me where I am today. I prayed God if this is the yr to let the walls go and be in a relationship..show me. Today I'm back with the man who left me bc of addictions. My first date at age 17, first love. Was married 30 yrs, (to another man), divorced..mutual agreement...grew apart. Right after... my love at 17, I was with for 2 n half yrs until he left me. Today we're back and both want it to be until we die. Sometimes it takes those walls to shatter to rebuild something beautiful. It's not safe to mess with your feelings when it's shattered, I didn't try taking my life, but in a way, I see now...I did by taking way too much pp n alcohol, was flat lined twice. I thank God for intervening, breaking walls and making me new. I'm so glad n happy for you, it's a hard thing to do, noone understand but the ones who've been there.🙏
I can get there on my own You can leave me here alone I’m just tryin’ to do what’s right Oh, a man ain’t a man unless he’s fought the fight I could never point you out Waste of space in a faceless crowd Tell me what I have to say If you know what’s right then you’ll walk away When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down One by one I'm seein' them fall Some just don’t show up at all I’m just here to fight the fire Oh, a man ain’t a man unless he has desire And the walls come down And the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down You tore out my heart You threw it away A Western girl with Eastern eyes Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits Now there’s nothing in the way In the way In the way In the way When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down You tore out my heart You threw it away The western girl with Eastern eyes Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits Now there’s nothing in the way In the way In the way In the way MATAR POR TI [Traducida al Español] Puedo llegar ahí por mi cuenta Puedes dejarme aquí solo Solo intento hacer lo correcto Oh, un hombre no es un hombre a menos que haya peleado la batalla Nunca podría señalarte Desperdicio de espacio en una multitud sin rostro Dime lo que tengo que decir Si sabes lo que es correcto entonces te irás Cuando los muros caigan Cuando los muros caigan Cuando los muros caigan Cuando los muros caigan Uno a uno, los veo caer Algunos no se muestran en absoluto Vine a combatir el fuego Oh, un hombre no es un hombre a menos que tenga el deseo Y los muros caen Y los muros caen Cuando los muros caen Cuando los muros caen Me arrancaste el corazón Lo desechaste Una chica del Oeste con ojos del Oeste Diste un giro erróneo y diste con que la sorpresa espera Ahora no hay nada en el camino En el camino En el camino En el camino Cuando los muros caen Cuando los muros caen Cuando los muros caen Cuando los muros caen Me arrancaste el corazón Lo desechaste La chica del Oeste con ojos del Oeste Diste un giro erróneo y diste con que la sorpresa espera Ahora no hay nada en el camino En el camino En el camino En el camino
I just lost my mom two weeks ago, this song says everything you need to know about the people you love. Tell them you love them right now, today. I miss you mom 😢
I lost my mom when I was 17 I'm turning 21 in 23 Days it gets lonely but it seems like you'll be straight for a minute then out of nowhere you start crying
The Lyrics: "I can't get there on my own. You can't leave me here alone. I'm just tryna do what's right, for a man ain't a man 'less he's fought the fight. I could never point you out. Waste of space in a faceless crowd. Tell me what I have to say, if you know what's right then you walk away. When the walls come down. When the walls come down. When the walls come down. When the walls come down. One by one I've seen them fall, some just don't show up at all. I'm just here to fight the fire, for a main ain't a man unless he has desire. When the walls come down. When the walls come down. When the walls come down. When the walls come down. You tore out my heart, you threw it away. The western girl with eastern eyes. Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits. Now there's nothing in the way, in the way. In the way, in the way. When the walls come down. When the walls come down. When the walls come down. When the walls come down. You tore out my heart, you threw it away. The western girl with eastern eyes. Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits. Now there's nothing in the way, in the way. In the way, in the way."
Words cannot express how this song truly effects me. It's so raw...especially when you have been devastated by a break up. It pierces my heart to the core. Awesome song. I love you, Kings of Leon!😢❤⚘
kings of leon is more than a band, to me they're a family member that I don't see for a long time I always feel comfort listening to them and seeing how they are It has been a pleasure watching you guys grow since the 1st album
Their guitar and bass, among Caleb's voice and the entire song, are always amazing... every album, they always give me this same feeling... only KOL has this sound and capability for me. Always. Fell in love with them 5 years ago and know will be forever a fan.
This song strikes me on so many levels. 6 months ago, my partner of over 10 years decided to "pull the pin" on our relationship. This is a song about your love leaving you and the emotions it brings. The walls/the relationship are his security and without them he is left alone and vulnerable. We open and the subject seems to be grappling with the fact that their love has left them. " I can get there on my own/You can leave me here alone" is a nervous affirmation that his love has gone and that he has a new reality he must learn to cope with. "I'm just trying to do what's right/Oh, a man ain't a man unless he's fought the fight" Like me, the subject fought and fought for years to make it work. "I could never point you out/Waste of space in a faceless crowd" He feels as though everything in his life, up to this point, is a lie or a joke. He can't understand the idea of how his love could leave him instead of stay and fight. "Tell me what I have to say/If you know what's right then you'll walk away" He has one glimpsing thought that there is hope for the relationship, but realizes it can't so he tells her memory to leave him. The next verse is about acceptance. The walls "One by one I'm seein' 'em fall" of his relationship have fallen around him. "Some just don't show up at all" certain friends (walls of the relationship) stop talking to him. "I'm just here to fight the fire/ Oh a man ain't a man unless he has desire" The subject remains in his thoughts, even though they cause him great pain. He desires his love and admits its his nature. Finally we have a verse about anger and vulnerability. "You tore out my heart/You threw it away" he blames his love for his anger. She is responsible for all of his pain. "A Western girl with Eastern eyes/ Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits/Now there's nothing in the way." He describes his love, accepts the relationship is over and that there's a new life ahead, and finally is left vulnerable with "nothing in the way" (walls of the relationship). Beautiful song. Jesse: although I know we can never be. I'll always love you and think about you every day.
When that song come out I found out the love of my life was moving back to Cali and I found out I had terminal squamous cells bone cancer and endometrial cancer. There was so many things I wanted to say the last night I saw him but I just walked out of his house instead of spending the last night with him. It was too hard to see him, be near him it was intense. Three years later the lights come back inside me. I had won against my cancers but my heart is still broken from the loss of him. I knew I couldn't follow him and ruin his life through my battle. I miss him even more today than the day he left. It's still hard to listen to this song plus a few more. It takes me back to that time and the pain comes rushing inside. I'm still single never dated again and I don't see myself dating any time soon. I fking miss you Jeremy. Love is forever. We still text to this day but sometimes I have to wait weeks to open to see what song he sends me next.
Hope your ok but he should have stayed and helped you. My wife had cancer, she was told she had a month to live..that was in November 2012 and by some miracle she is still here. Never did I consider leaving her
I have this song in my head all day at work. I come home on my lunch break and play it. I get home later in the day and play it. I wake up in the middle of the night and play it. It reminds me of someone I know.
I started listening to Kings of Leon when I was 18, it was one of the first CD's I ever bought. I'd put it on in my car and just drive around my hometown, imagining stories not yet lived, girls not yet loved. I'm 32 now and have lived a little, and loved a liile more... life's been harder than I thought it would be, but you just gotta keep on living, and keep on loving ❤️
Well said mate I'm 30 they were also one of my first CDs I bought hasn't really been much real music since nothing since really has any message you can relate too
If you’ve been a fan since the beginning, you appreciate their work on another level. Probably one of their best songs. Problem is, all their songs are A1.
Completely and brutally honest. There is something to be said about revealing every part of yourself. Being 100% true to yourself and showing the parts that you just know no one will love It's the hardest thing to do at times but the most freeing thing in the world. Honesty.
"You tore out my heart. You threw it away." 5 years and counting of living that feeling of waking up to a nightmare reality each day. 34 if you count losing my Dad. Caleb has a gift for articulating grief, sadness and loneliness like no other.
My walls crashed like I would have never seen coming , my high school sweet heart ❤️ decided drugs was more important than the life we built together and I lost the battle and my soulmate, lonely 😔 and left with what could have been and why wasn’t I good enough.... I love Kings of Leon , we both did 😭💔
A song this beautiful,you always want to keep it with you all the time. Kings of leon have very powerful appeal to imagination,putting and sharing their emotions in the world with music. Lucky to have this !!.❤
I was so excited to see Kings of Leon in Dallas over 10 years ago. I’ve been a huge fan ever since. The passion and raw emotion in their music are so relatable to so many. This song is no different. Just beautiful. I wish I’d had more time with my son. He was only 25 when he died.
@@jewulo LOL I don't think so, these guys had something, it was real stuff man, different than what anyone else was doing it wasn't just good it made music better in general. Example The Sheepdogs one of my favorite bands started out playing covers of the first 2 KOL albums, cuz thats what KOL were, like the Stooges or Joy Division, they might not be super popular, but they were so good they made you want to start a band, but they gave that up to be fucking U2 and its depressing.
John Wileman I'm so sorry. Divorces can be heartbreaking and shatter our souls. Please be strong and don't give up on life or yourself. God is always on your side.
Don't give up, and don't result to religious crap to fill the hole. Look to the skys. You're a small piece of something truly incomprehensible. Trillions of DNA makeups never got the chance to exist, yet here we are.
Shaanan, religion is dark and dead. Religion is a set of rules man created to try get right with God. What Jesus did on the cross opens the way for us. Religion says DO. Jesus said DONE. Love to you
I’m so so sorry about your mom, I lost mine and my best friend in 2015 , my soul still hurts so bad . She was born on Christmas Eve and now I realize she was my Christmas angel and Father God I miss her so bad . My deepest condolences to the family…. I’m sorry 😢 guys … 😢💔💜
my wife passed away in 2016.. I've been so lonely since then & can't find my way back to happiness without her.. I heard this song today & I realized that there's so many things were left unsaid. I wish the WALLS had come down before her passing. I took her for granted..I miss you Bonnie. Today ,tomorrow & forever.
Sorry to hear your story, there isn't too much you can say to someone in so much pain but I will say this to you. Don't beat yourself up because you think you didn't treat her the way you should. She knows you love her and I'm sure the last thing she would want is for you to feel the way you do. Remember the good times you had and don't regret a single thing. Stay positive, it's what she would have wanted.
chupacabra alienstardust chin up my friend. My heart breaks for you.
Sadness, but a lesson for the rest of us to learn. Never take time for granted. {{Huggs}} Hope a year has helped you move forward a little as I'm sure Bonnie would have wanted for you. PEACE
chupacabra alienstardust forza amico! La vita va avanti... lei vorrebbe tu andassi avanti... scusa se non scrivo in inglese... spero le mie parole ti arrivino comunque! Good luck
it's a hard knock life man.Hope you found your way back.
This song fucks me up and then brings me back to life.... damn.
Wait, what? Tell me more
Saying someone tore him down but he found a way to rise up again
but its incoherent
+Jhorman Etxeverry feelings don't have to always make sense... but yeah, basically what the other person commented
exhaleDM oh, i just realized that i have no feelings
It's astounding how this band has changed its sound over the course of the years, but has still managed to retain the uniqueness it brought in their debut. We can spend our lifetimes debating the old versus the new, but the truth of the matter is: they were fucking great back then, and they're fucking great right now.
You said it. Rock gods blessed us with the KOL
😔
I couldn't said it any better
Could you please tell me what is the meaning of the lyrics. I have been trying to put a clear meaning to them but I might be missing out something. What is your personal take?
Amen
The lyrics, the pain in his voice, the pain in his eyes and his facial expressions. This song breaks my heart every time. Love them. Who else cries listening to this?
i have the same sensations
I have the first time I heard it
You are right, and well tuned into these emotions.
not me.
its the calm and the smoothness and loving and hurt in Caleb's voice for me ...
I lost my mother when I was 4, I lost my father in his early 60's.My youngest son died at 7 months from SIDS and my oldest son was killed a car accident at 19. My wife of 46 years passed away. I learned at an early age to never build walls. You never know when you'll see someone for the last time
🖤
You are a very strong person. Hope better days have came your way.
Fuck me uv been through the mill! Good luck brother 🙏
You just told me what what to do!
You are a strong Man 👨... God bless you ..I just imagine as you are so strong 💪...
Lyrics-
I can get there on my own
You can leave me here alone
I'm just tryin' to do what's right
Oh, a man ain't a man unless he's fought the fight
I could never point you out
Waste of space in a faceless crowd
Tell me what I have to say
If you know what's right then you'll walk away
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
One by one I'm seein' them fall
Some just don't show up at all
I'm just here to fight the fire
Oh, a man ain't a man unless he has desire
And the walls come down
And the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
You tore out my heart
You threw it away
A Western girl with Eastern eyes
Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits
Now there's nothing in the way
In the way
In the way
In the way
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
You tore out my heart
You threw it away
Western girl with Eastern eyes
Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits
Now there's nothing in the way
In the way
In the way
In the way
Marvelously beautiful and longingly loving
The best song for me everytime👏
Thank you for lyrics, beautiful 🧡
😅
Who's still HERE, in June 2024! ❤
Timeless.
Right here 🎉
100% This song is just perfection
🙌🙌🎉
i'm stil here 18th June, 2024...awesome song by a timeless music performer!
Yes!!!!!!!
"A man ain't a man unless he has desire" best way to live life. if you're gonna do something, small or big in your life, do it with desire. One of the most memorable lyrics in all of music for me.
Me too
Ture
Rod Stewart.
Passion
I agree completely!!
He's so very handsome. I can't stop watching. His eyes portray so much emotion.
Who”””” me
It's a song
It's about passion
Translate into it without the video
Cat you are awesome
Finally, just Caleb and his vocals. This is KOL to me.
Maybe he's your favorite in the band, but the other boys are just as important.
Yeah. Especially the drumming style of Nathan. One sure fire way to tell if it's KOL
@Chinchilluppa, yes they are indeed, although personally Jared irritates me. I was hoping that Caleb would do something like this since 2011 when he sang an acoustic version of the runner at Slane.
@Jamie. totally agree, Nathan is up there with my favourite drummers.
+guido thanks lots of love to you too. LOL
I needed this band in my twenties - I'm 50 and I listen to this with a gentler heart, a wiser head and a tougher skin - but because of music I’m choosing to travel into my elderhood without bitterness.
I’ve had the pleasure of five decades of great music alive.
Being born in the 60’s means I also enjoyed my mother and fathers music from the 50’s and 60’s. I’m nostalgic in composing my playlists but I’m youthful in my continued exploration and experimentation in my musical flavours on the menu in the 21st century. I work with youth and I enjoy their amazing breadth and depth of choices available to them from the four corners of the worlds musical horizons.
In the wealth of my extensive musical collection I will treasure this song and this band as one of the best ... Blessings all who are healing from the broken stuff of life with love and levity. Stay hopeful, choose creativity, listen more and walk into your elderhood with a great playlist … that you are here enjoying The Kings of Leon means you’re on a great path.
Never take the simple pleasure of a great song for granted.
Vinyl is King - but I praise the rock gods for TH-cam, Spotify, wifi and long drives in the sunset or starry kisses as the dawn leaves her lovers in the night while The Kings of Leon sing the Walls of any bitterness down.
“The sun drowns no less than the ocean burns - the wise don’t leap from cliffs - they ascend on the wings of music.”
I love this comment, glad my generation has KOL to redeem us
Im on my mums account right noe but im only 15 and I love kings of lron
Blessings back
Matangaro Matangaro 😮 wow! I loved what you said. 🙏🏻
Matangaro Matangaro well said brother
A man. A guitar. And some Words. None of the bullshit. Most underrated piece of music the world has seen.
Nah, that'd be NF
and a piano...
@@alanrockunited and drums
and bass
and an engineer to mix it
I heard this song about 1.5yrs ago in a diner right after my g/f of 9 years abandoning our son and I. I remember sitting in that diner feeling so utterly alone. A lot has changed since this feeling of solitude. I took my son and have full custody of him. He and I are better off without his mom. I met someone else since then and couldn't be happier. I was laying in bed last night and remembered that moment at the diner. I had to listen to this song again. It reminds of of some bad times but I cannot help but look back and reflect. I am smiling today.
Bless you! I wish you the very best luck for your future and hope you stay happy..
Keep smiling! Xx
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm at the exact moment you were at that diner, right now. Hope in a few years i can come back to this comment, and say the same. Best of all, mate.
@@IvryGagaryn I am very sorry you are in that difficult spot, Ivry. What got me out of that spot mentally was staying strong and knowing there was a light at the end of the tunnel. The moment you lose sight of that light, you can lose yourself in moments like that. Keep it together mentally, know that whatever you are going through isn't permanent, figure a way out to find your happiness. If you can do that, then you will find yourself back watching this video smiling.
You tore out my heart
You threw it away ….is the part of the song that hurts the most. Because it’s the part you remember that you finally trusted that one person, and you opened up your true self, let yourself be vulnerable for the fist time and only for your little heart to be ripped out, crushed and thrown. It’s not what you expected and it’s not what you deserve, you deserve love and you will find happiness once again.
What a beautiful, beautiful song. Caleb remains one of the few artists who can make me cry with how soulful his voice is. Kings of Leon forever ♾🖤
True his the reason for me his soul ...
Reading your comment with tears in my eyes😏
The last song my dad listen to before he passed. Been nearly 3 years. Its Christmas so i played it and had a drink for him. Maybe gone but never forgotten. Here's to you dad. Love you with all my heart. I'll keep moving forward and try to work my way through this life. Won't ever be the same without your guidance. But you taught me well. So ill do my best to pass it on and carry your ever glowing light. Miss you big man every day. Never be a day when your not in my thoughts. Thanks for every day of being my dad xx
Caleb's voice and presence is hauntingly beautiful. There really is no other way to describe it.
I love this band. People are too blinded by criticism when talking about Kings of Leon. They are fantastic.
Agreed
Tom Henritze agrea
You can't be blinded by criticism. I don't care about the band one way or the other but that's a really stupid thing to say.
what's the criticism that people have of the band?
I completely agree - sure, it isn't 'sex on fire' or 'comeback story' or anything but stillllll: very very VERY good music! I could never turn my back on these guys - seems like their songs are a soundtrack to my life...
'You tore out my heart. You threw it awaaaay.'
That bit actually kills me
Kills me too, after 30 yesrs of marriage my husband chose his Mum over me after his Dad died... we divorced...... This song floors me......
This is one of the most beautiful songs in the history of modern music.
He's fighting back tears and here tears streaming down my face, uncontrollably. "You tore out my heart. You threw it away." - the best lines.
Now I have to find meaning in the pain. Find forgiveness to keep me sane. In these tattered remains, I'll stay. forever a shadow of what could have been. A ghost, a phantom, a forgotten hymn. I'll search for treasure in sunken ships. Forever mourning what could've been.
Nambram Sophie ikr I’m looking into his face and it’s like he’s holding back from crying which hits me because I love his music and would never wanna see someone like him or anybody in this situation it hurts 💯
Asengki
That's exactly what my wife did to me. And some of you so called men are laughing at me for it. Which makes me.afraid.for my wife what kind of Evil men has she rushed off too. None of you cruel sick assholes are good enough to love sams true self. Even I'm not.
This song is so powerful, his lyrics move me to a place of heartache, sorrow and healing all at same time. What a masterpiece it is. I love you Kings of Leon, thank you for this music.
I agree
I see so much hurt in his eyes. This song was close to his heart. He is an empath and feels deeply. He let someone in and he is thinking of being a man and doing whats right and got hurt. We all recover from letting the wrong people in our lives , we move forward and make a bad thing into a positive thing.
His eyes, yes, and they heal me.
Pppp0p0p00
He was in tears someone really took aventage of him
I feel that I'm trying
So true
Holding Caleb's stare till the end is beyond magical. This song is a masterpiece! 💖💕
People talking about the meaning of the song, to me it sounds like, look I've let my walls down, I've let you in & you hurt me, what the hell am I supposed to do now?
This gave me goosebumps ❤️
Exactly how I would translate it also!
that is exactly what I think the song is about. being divorced twice. I know I have a wall around me, afraid to hurt or let anyone in again.
Thanks for the insight Eros.
yeah i think the song is about divorce
Helen Christie I think the song is about Walls
love the fact that as I get older I can hear their music maturing and ageing with me. I can grow old with this band :)
William excellent comment. Agreed.
William , this is an incredibly talented group of musicians.
William They have matured over the years. I love them🤘
William you will find as you get older the music you listen to will change but form is temporary class is permanent and KOL have it in bucket loads. Always end up back listening to one of their albums
William. True
Me and my fiance had a discussion about Kings of Leon and I told her about becoming a fan of the band around the time they put out their second record. And I loved everything they have done since then. Now that I'm older I find it strange that we (fans) compete over how long you've been a fan of a band or which sound was more "them" and I said instead of us arguing over what sound was better or whether or not I've loved them longer than you have or vice versa... How about every time Kings of Leon puts out a song from now until the day we pass on... How about we just say thank you. Because I am 30 years old now and I'm not a fan of this sound or that sound... I just love Kings of Leon... So everything they release until the day they don't is a gift.
yes! thank you for this comment
you've only been a fan since their second album? only the true fans have been there since their high school talent show act
hahaha you sir are a hero
Exactly, what difference does it make when you discover a great band? I mean, can I not be a fan of The Beatles cuz I wasn't around when they were still a group?
wow.
Sometimes, it’s the loss of a dream, someone untouchable, a muse who doesn’t even know they’re your muse. This is the place this song touches me. To my core.
Same for me
So me atm.
Divorcing my wife....hardest thing to do... Thank you for this song! Love you guys!!!
Be strong, man. Don't forget yourself!
You're not alone man! Same story down here. Keep the courage, keep the faith and if children are involved: stay kind and collected at all cost. The sun will shine again.
stay strong guys, the only sure thing we have is ourselves..... never forget that
And the knowledge that we're not the only ones in this messy situation or alone for that matter. Thanks!
I am sure you will find the best you. Fight through the shit and kick ass, take care.
Caleb's eyes are so hypnotizing! His gaze is so intense. He takes me away, man...
I could be wrong, but a good friend I'd mine told me that kings of leon lead singer wrote this song about his battle with addiction. It's powerful. I am in recovery and the worst time my heart has ever been broken was when I realized that I was, in a sick way, in love with something that I trusted and depended on....then I realized it the one thing I loved the most was trying to kill me. Strange, but it broke my heart more than it made me angry. I was so deceived. This song is amazing and truly touches on the grieving process. Oddly enough, after seeing the truth and going through that grief, it helps to remind myself every now and then how much my addiction hurt me and the people who cared about me. I'm so grateful that "the walls" did come down. Powerful analogy.
Wow. Just wow. Wishing you well.
hear hear my son is lost...i hope to find him....
Brave Holley I hope KOL help you wishing you all the best and take one day at a time
@@jdean310I know it’s hard sometimes and you get to the point you can’t take anymore, always living on edge and you eventually have to set boundaries, but don’t give up!!
This is Bruce Springsteen-😢
Please tell me he's not going through a divorce. It's absolutely wonderful to see these artists and actors stay in a marriage when there's so much Temptation in the world. The fact that nowadays you can stand a marriage and fight the fight and fight off temptation is one of the strongest and strengths the Lord can give us especially in these times❤
I love this and Waste A Moment. It's refreshing to hear since a lot of mainstream is usually autotunned mess
well said 👏👏
Leigh Warner thanks :)
no problem 👌
Always have loved their stuff. Since Day 1.
I think Waste A Moment is boring... Reverend and Around The World are much better
This song reminds me of a man I love with my heart and my soul. I haven't seen him for 35 years. I would have never thrown our love away. I would have fought for us. You never find love like this John Williams. I never forgot you and I believe in you. We just lost contact.
Raelene Mortimer
I hope you will see him again ♥️
Raelene, did you find your man?
wow, that happens to other people as well? Life is like sand slipping through our fingers, you cant put it back, sadly.
John Williams, you're one lucky bastard. Wish you guys finally meet again!
He died my heart is broken but my soul knows he will alway's be with me. He was my beautiful man 🤍 I never got to see him but connected to him and we spoke about and shared some beautiful conversations ❤ RIP JOHN
I love you and will miss you forever xxx
lyrics:
I can't get there on my own
You can't leave me here alone
I'm just trying to do what's right
Oh a man ain't a man 'less he's fought the fight
I could never point you out
Waste of space in a faceless crowd
Tell me what I have to say
If you know what's right, then you'll walk away
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
One by one I've seen em fall
Some just don't show up at all
I'm just here to fight the fire
Oh a man ain't a man 'less he has desire
And the walls come down
And the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
You tore out my heart
And you threw it away
The western girl with eastern eyes
Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits
Now there's nothing in the way
In the way
In the way
In the way
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
You tore out my heart
You threw it away
The western girl with eastern eyes
Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits
Now there's nothing in the way
In the way
In the way
In the way
thanks

First sentence its not I cant, its I can
Thanks!

He could easily be an actor..his eyes at the end and the way he looks deserves an oscar..awesome tune that gives you straight goosebumps..greetings from greece🇬🇷
There are no words to describe this... They did it again.
they haven't 'done it' for a while now. this country song is kind of boring. they've been steadily regressing since 2008's Only by the Night album. decent albums, but no tracks that have come close to the creativity, catchiness, and overall success as those in 2008. the lead single now Waste A Moment sounds like a B-Side track on their 2010 album Come Around Sundown
GTFO with Only By the Night. Aha Shake Heartbreak and Because of the Times had some of their most creative songs by far, at least way more creative than any song Only By the Night had.
This is not country :)
They really did it again :)
I absolutely agree with you. After listening to this song, my heart is pounding so hard!
Been a fan since the beginning, this is them at their best. Truly an incredible, timeless band. Love the Johnny Cash-ness of this tune. KOL forever!
Stfu, who are you fooling?
Wellll I'd be lyin' if I said "Aha Shake Heartbreak" wasn't their best but I genuinely think they are still making good songs. Don't need to fool anyone, loved them since I heard "Holy Roller Novocaine"
Bollocks it's a good song. But it's not a KOL song, they are youth and young manhood and it would be great if that was the charting stuff. Not what we've had post 2007 to sell out stadiums and arenas., they have the opportunity to play that stuff to millions and play soft rock pap instead.
Karolina N Jesus Christ what a great comment! You're spot on!
I must have missed the part where I was boasting. I wasn't even someone who went to the gigs back then as I was 10 so can't exactly call myself a 'fanboi', still had the CD though aha. The music was better and I will never get why bands once they hit commercial success just go away from completely what made them a band. I'm all for writing chart friendly songs but several albums of it. If they've truly gone away from the early stuff fair play to them that's there prerogative. I'm just gonna find it harder to like. But then that's the same for a lot of 21st century music.
The funny thing is if caleb doesn't have shoulder surgery and had been able to play a full range of chords, then only the night may never had existed and this conversation wouldn't be happen.
The irony of your comment is hilarious mind, your probably too narrow minded yourself to see the hypocrisy. Apologies for having a opinion you disagree with, get over yourself ya daft fucking bint(see i can be pointlessly offensive too.)
Sometimes I get scared that all the good music in the world has been created, but then Kings of Leon make a comeback story of a lifetime.
This is by far the most connected I've ever felt to a song. Can't get enough of it
This album so far is helping me heal from my recent shit heap.
shame princess, good luck with the long difficult road.
Ditto, friend. Ditto.
KOL always helps
good luck- be strong
That's what soulful music is for, music that has meaning. That's what Kings of Leon are. Not this bullshit we call pop music now.
To me, this song is a song from myself to myself. Only I see the entire history of my life, the good, the bad, the worst. I’ve fought against myself and have seen the light and dark sides of my headspace. And as I am now trying to actively choose myself and treat myself well, it hurts to see how I was nice to others, but not to me.
Allways easier to help others right
A beautiful spin to it.
🤙🏼💙
Yes I've given and given over the years and it's got me no where bless you
I was driving like at 5am and the sun was coming down, driving alone ain't fun without music so i plugged my phone and i forgot i had downloaded their new album, when this came on... man the feels..
The beat in the start like the one in Phil collins & genesis's Mama had me.
Man I'll be forcing my kids to listen to this.
Mehdii Laghzaouin
This came out in a time when my violently abusive EX-husband killed a child within and we got pregnant soon after. He almost took everything of me. When I was diagnosed with CPTSD, I could not even watch this video without crying my eyes out. It's been 9 years or less and I tap into my progression of healing by watching this video. I love Kings of Leon. I love you guys. I can watch this easily nowadays. Thanks for being a pivital point in my journey. Love this song!!!!!! Kisses and hugs...much 😍 😍 Love
This is one of those songs that will give you the same feeling no matter how many times you hear it. But that's just Kings of Leon for you.
Haley Lane Lee Exactly.
smart
yes
I am never disappointed with KOL. Honestly this was everything I've needed these last several months and it was just in time. I've missed them. This was so beautiful!
Does anyone else get that uneasy feeling when he stares us down at the end of the video? He definitely had a certain someone in mind with that staredown. Made me feel uncomfortable like I was watching and listening to someone's argument that I shouldn't have been listening too...... ❤ much love for KOL thank you for the amazing new songs!
I felt it too!;-)
yess that look tho whew
Jessica H. lol
I think this is about his dad
I'm living this song currently. Powerful lyrics.
Just had my heart absolutely ripped out by the one person I loved for the first time in 8 years. I'm surviving through lyrics of songs like this.
💖💖💖💜
Stay strong brother. You deserve better.
Stay strong x
You are strong ❤
This might be just me, but the part where he says "You tore up my heart", the beat shifts to what sounds like an anticipating heartbeat and I feel my own heartbeat racing.
Amazing the effect music can leave you with.
🙌🙌💓💓💓 YESSSSS!
It's incredible to be able to feel that from this . I feel it too 💓
Yeah it’s just too overwhelming.
The drummer definitely plays a heart beat like pattern on the bass drum no doubt! I totally think it was intentional. Genius.
The kings of Leon have proven true artistic growth, adding new dimensions to their style, amazing, original music & one of their best songs to date. These guys are talented artists!
Well put, I totally agree with everything you said.
Agreed
Selling out your sound is not artistic growth, it's soft, like this music and the people who listen to it.
I'll forever be grateful for their existence.
As a man with crippling depression,acute anxiety and crippling panic attacks and icing on the cake being that I'm an overthinker ! This song just is home itself.
Stay strong brother, there's better times ahead. 💪
You literally just described myself as well, everything you said I deal with on a daily basis It's a really hard way to have to live life I know it all to well. Keep your head up bro!
I hope you have good health a great future, sorry to hear of your struggles, stay strong don't face your fight alone
I'm not even kidding this is the best music video I've seen in a long long time.
Just the emotion in his eyes, you can see into his soul. He really meant every word he put into this song when he wrote it!
Exactaly!
Ratfink820 👍
as a die hard kings of leon fan who likes the early kol the most i really have to put my hands in the air and say this is a f*cking brilliant song
My soulmate, best friend, mother of my child, and wife of 10 years Ashley passed away on March 31st 2022..... So many of these songs held me together before they bonded us together ironically at this point could these songs could COMPLETELY tear me apart! In our 10 years together we went through so many things in life we went from the bottom of the deepest pit to see highest peak most of all we went from surviving life to living it 7 years into our relationship we have a perfect little boy when we had all but forgone the notion of having a child I will never be able to tell someone I love them and it be 100% truth because it will not mean the same thing to them that it meant when I said it to her she left me with the most amazing gift anyone could give... another life.... our little boy who's approaching 4 years old...
Rest In Peace now Ashley…
@@kimrice6978 Thank you, I know TH-cam isn't the place to find closure or have group meetings about each other's horribly tragic story while being inconsiderate of somebody else enjoying a song who unintentionally falls into the comment section and becomes depressed but sometimes when you're hurt bad enough you don't realize how senseless you may become before the bomb dropped at my house I remember reading things like that thinking "damn I just wanted to listen to a song and see what other people thought about it now I'm saddened and in my own head because of what I read about other people" ....?
I will be praying for you brother. It’ll never make sense, but with time it will get easier. All you can do now is be the best father in the world! Anyway, I’m so sorry for your loss. This just hit hard bc I have 2 beautiful baby girls and am no longer with their mother. Her and I do not communicate so sometimes it feels she doesn’t exist & that’s really hard. This comment just makes me realize I need to appreciate life for what it is, a blessing. God is the only thing that’s helped, though I understand our circumstances are drastically different. I never reply to comments online, but felt the need to here. 🙏
@@ericbilling4735 thank you
Amen brother! Thank God for your little one!
Ich liebe diesen Sound so. Selten so einen berührenden Sound gehört...nimmt mich mit. Stets prallte ich gegen die Mauern, mit meiner Ehrlichkeit, mit meiner Gutherzigkeit, so wie ich halt bin und stets trampelte der Mann dann über die gefallene Steine, übersah mich und ging seinen Weg....der Sound lässt mich über die fallenden Steine der brechenden Mauern schweben. Lieben Dank.
p.S. Hier in Englisch, dank Translater: I love that sound so much. Rarely heard such a touching sound ... takes me away. I always hit the walls with my honesty, with my kindness, as I am and the man always trampled over the fallen stones, overlooked me and went his way .... the sound lets me over the falling stones breaking walls float. A heartfelt thank you.
p.p.S. Und der Gesang natürlich auch.
Anybody else just have this song on repeat?

Joaq. Thank you , very kind message. Not many of us get those these days. 🎶💖✝️
Joaquin Galindez Xiamen to that 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love this, and now I think you too. 😔
damn ain't that the truth of it man. That's the key to life right there.
Lonely is one of the worst feelings in this world. We take a lot for granted sometimes. When the walls come down everything changes but it takes so much vulnerability. It is not safe to play with someone's feelings whose walls have come down. My walls are not being lonely but struggles of recovery from drug addiction. I am grateful that my walls came down it saved my life.
am so happy for u and hope u good wishes for ur struggles! SHOW THE WORLD UR RESILIENCE (Rachel platen's fight song for u :))
@@user-tr7cb9nc1o thank you.
ur welcome ^^
I too fought addictions and lost the love of my life bc of it when he left me bc of it. During that same time, month apart I lost my brother bc of addictions n suicide. Loneliness kiked in hard, there's loneliness from addictions bc its like a love too n it's gone. It's been 6 yrs clean of pp and alcohol. The first yr I did nuthin but look at the walls, no tv ... praying, thinking n crying. Each yr got better as God worked on my life to get me where I am today. I prayed God if this is the yr to let the walls go and be in a relationship..show me. Today I'm back with the man who left me bc of addictions. My first date at age 17, first love. Was married 30 yrs, (to another man), divorced..mutual agreement...grew apart. Right after... my love at 17, I was with for 2 n half yrs until he left me. Today we're back and both want it to be until we die. Sometimes it takes those walls to shatter to rebuild something beautiful. It's not safe to mess with your feelings when it's shattered, I didn't try taking my life, but in a way, I see now...I did by taking way too much pp n alcohol, was flat lined twice. I thank God for intervening, breaking walls and making me new.
I'm so glad n happy for you, it's a hard thing to do, noone understand but the ones who've been there.🙏
I can get there on my own
You can leave me here alone
I’m just tryin’ to do what’s right
Oh, a man ain’t a man unless he’s fought the fight
I could never point you out
Waste of space in a faceless crowd
Tell me what I have to say
If you know what’s right then you’ll walk away
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
One by one I'm seein' them fall
Some just don’t show up at all
I’m just here to fight the fire
Oh, a man ain’t a man unless he has desire
And the walls come down
And the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
You tore out my heart
You threw it away
A Western girl with Eastern eyes
Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits
Now there’s nothing in the way
In the way
In the way
In the way
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
You tore out my heart
You threw it away
The western girl with Eastern eyes
Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits
Now there’s nothing in the way
In the way
In the way
In the way
MATAR POR TI
[Traducida al Español]
Puedo llegar ahí por mi cuenta
Puedes dejarme aquí solo
Solo intento hacer lo correcto
Oh, un hombre no es un hombre a menos que haya peleado la batalla
Nunca podría señalarte
Desperdicio de espacio en una multitud sin rostro
Dime lo que tengo que decir
Si sabes lo que es correcto entonces te irás
Cuando los muros caigan
Cuando los muros caigan
Cuando los muros caigan
Cuando los muros caigan
Uno a uno, los veo caer
Algunos no se muestran en absoluto
Vine a combatir el fuego
Oh, un hombre no es un hombre a menos que tenga el deseo
Y los muros caen
Y los muros caen
Cuando los muros caen
Cuando los muros caen
Me arrancaste el corazón
Lo desechaste
Una chica del Oeste con ojos del Oeste
Diste un giro erróneo y diste con que la sorpresa espera
Ahora no hay nada en el camino
En el camino
En el camino
En el camino
Cuando los muros caen
Cuando los muros caen
Cuando los muros caen
Cuando los muros caen
Me arrancaste el corazón
Lo desechaste
La chica del Oeste con ojos del Oeste
Diste un giro erróneo y diste con que la sorpresa espera
Ahora no hay nada en el camino
En el camino
En el camino
En el camino
Muy buena traducción! Pero en los dos últimos versos hay una corrección la cual es "La chica del oeste con los ojos del este"
I'm not crying, it's just the rain in my face
Damn, I could feel all of his suffering and sadness, omg AND WHAT WAS THAT ENDING SO FUCKING COOL

This song makes me cry. Every.damn.time. So grateful for them and their music.❤
What beautiful human beings they are.
No-one who writes, sings and looks like this could be anything less than wonderful.
I just lost my mom two weeks ago, this song says everything you need to know about the people you love. Tell them you love them right now, today. I miss you mom 😢
I lost my mom when I was 17 I'm turning 21 in 23 Days it gets lonely but it seems like you'll be straight for a minute then out of nowhere you start crying
@@yaboistu9448 So sorry for your loss, I agree that the crying comes out of nowhere.
I need the album. I need it now!
it's going to be on repeat all through autumn, i can already see it!
where did u get ur profile picture?
The Lyrics:
"I can't get there on my own. You can't leave me here alone.
I'm just tryna do what's right, for a man ain't a man 'less he's fought the fight.
I could never point you out. Waste of space in a faceless crowd.
Tell me what I have to say, if you know what's right then you walk away.
When the walls come down.
When the walls come down.
When the walls come down.
When the walls come down.
One by one I've seen them fall, some just don't show up at all.
I'm just here to fight the fire, for a main ain't a man unless he has desire.
When the walls come down.
When the walls come down.
When the walls come down.
When the walls come down.
You tore out my heart, you threw it away. The western girl with eastern eyes.
Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits. Now there's nothing in the way, in the way.
In the way, in the way.
When the walls come down.
When the walls come down.
When the walls come down.
When the walls come down.
You tore out my heart, you threw it away. The western girl with eastern eyes.
Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits. Now there's nothing in the way, in the way.
In the way, in the way."
Frickin hero
What do you feel that this song is about
@@janaprocella8268 His father
Words cannot express how this song truly effects me. It's so raw...especially when you have been devastated by a break up. It pierces my heart to the core. Awesome song. I love you, Kings of Leon!😢❤⚘
I thought so too. Truth is brutal, but needed for all circumstances. Very hard.
But the best way
its a great song
kings of leon is more than a band, to me they're a family member that I don't see for a long time
I always feel comfort listening to them and seeing how they are
It has been a pleasure watching you guys grow since the 1st album
Their guitar and bass, among Caleb's voice and the entire song, are always amazing... every album, they always give me this same feeling... only KOL has this sound and capability for me. Always.
Fell in love with them 5 years ago and know will be forever a fan.
there is a strong vibe to Bruce Springsteen in this song, totally.
Is it just me or do a hear a bit of Neil Diamond in his voice
Soo true... I hear The boss... Same tune and everything... But awesome song.. Totally in love
I hear it.... very Philadelphia or Secret Garden..
Right
Jorge Pablo Albert López the video is just like on of Bruce's video as well
This song strikes me on so many levels. 6 months ago, my partner of over 10 years decided to "pull the pin" on our relationship. This is a song about your love leaving you and the emotions it brings. The walls/the relationship are his security and without them he is left alone and vulnerable.
We open and the subject seems to be grappling with the fact that their love has left them. " I can get there on my own/You can leave me here alone" is a nervous affirmation that his love has gone and that he has a new reality he must learn to cope with. "I'm just trying to do what's right/Oh, a man ain't a man unless he's fought the fight" Like me, the subject fought and fought for years to make it work.
"I could never point you out/Waste of space in a faceless crowd" He feels as though everything in his life, up to this point, is a lie or a joke. He can't understand the idea of how his love could leave him instead of stay and fight. "Tell me what I have to say/If you know what's right then you'll walk away" He has one glimpsing thought that there is hope for the relationship, but realizes it can't so he tells her memory to leave him.
The next verse is about acceptance. The walls "One by one I'm seein' 'em fall" of his relationship have fallen around him. "Some just don't show up at all" certain friends (walls of the relationship) stop talking to him. "I'm just here to fight the fire/ Oh a man ain't a man unless he has desire" The subject remains in his thoughts, even though they cause him great pain. He desires his love and admits its his nature.
Finally we have a verse about anger and vulnerability. "You tore out my heart/You threw it away" he blames his love for his anger. She is responsible for all of his pain. "A Western girl with Eastern eyes/ Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits/Now there's nothing in the way." He describes his love, accepts the relationship is over and that there's a new life ahead, and finally is left vulnerable with "nothing in the way" (walls of the relationship).
Beautiful song.
Jesse: although I know we can never be. I'll always love you and think about you every day.
I see you
lovely interpretation
Love that they have a sound all their own. My husband and I are always starving for new music. KOL are still new to us. We love it.
I just wanted to hold him and tell him it's okay, it'll all be okay. that's music with heartfelt emotion. thank you for the music!
Mary Gray U r welc0me
When that song come out I found out the love of my life was moving back to Cali and I found out I had terminal squamous cells bone cancer and endometrial cancer. There was so many things I wanted to say the last night I saw him but I just walked out of his house instead of spending the last night with him. It was too hard to see him, be near him it was intense. Three years later the lights come back inside me. I had won against my cancers but my heart is still broken from the loss of him. I knew I couldn't follow him and ruin his life through my battle. I miss him even more today than the day he left. It's still hard to listen to this song plus a few more. It takes me back to that time and the pain comes rushing inside. I'm still single never dated again and I don't see myself dating any time soon. I fking miss you Jeremy. Love is forever. We still text to this day but sometimes I have to wait weeks to open to see what song he sends me next.
So sorry to hear that hope your ok how u now if u dont mind me asking
Sending you a massive hug and strength for your journey ahead. Much love from Africa.
Hope your ok but he should have stayed and helped you. My wife had cancer, she was told she had a month to live..that was in November 2012 and by some miracle she is still here. Never did I consider leaving her
Wow.
Mbal 40 man some of these comments hit you like a brick. So happy for you man.
I have this song in my head all day at work. I come home on my lunch break and play it. I get home later in the day and play it. I wake up in the middle of the night and play it. It reminds me of someone I know.
grohlpatrol I’m doing the same.. make me sad but stronger at the same time
When the walls come down you tore out my heart,you threw it away.questa canzone è bellissima ,un crescendo di emozioni❤
I started listening to Kings of Leon when I was 18, it was one of the first CD's I ever bought. I'd put it on in my car and just drive around my hometown, imagining stories not yet lived, girls not yet loved. I'm 32 now and have lived a little, and loved a liile more... life's been harder than I thought it would be, but you just gotta keep on living, and keep on loving ❤️
Well said mate I'm 30 they were also one of my first CDs I bought hasn't really been much real music since nothing since really has any message you can relate too
Una palabra: bellísima.
Mucho...
Bastante :')
preciosa
gay hahahahaha
+Evelyn Godoy Otarola ¿¿:D??
If you’ve been a fan since the beginning, you appreciate their work on another level. Probably one of their best songs. Problem is, all their songs are A1.
Completely and brutally honest. There is something to be said about revealing every part of yourself. Being 100% true to yourself and showing the parts that you just know no one will love It's the hardest thing to do at times but the most freeing thing in the world. Honesty.
This is top notch songwriting and an amazing vocal performance by Caleb
Cried while listening and reading those comments here.
Hope everyone be ok.
Wish u all bests.
God bless u all.
WHY not me too
Those piercing blueish green eyes. And that beard. Oh, damn. They make all my walls come down.
♥♥
and that receding hairline. makes my liver quiver
nohomo but same here :D
I would watch him do the walk of shame :D
dang I wish they had a button for laughing!! 😂
"You tore out my heart. You threw it away."
5 years and counting of living that feeling of waking up to a nightmare reality each day.
34 if you count losing my Dad.
Caleb has a gift for articulating grief, sadness and loneliness like no other.
kings of Leon & Lumineers for me best bands!
Nick UncleDrew yes & Mumford & Sons too!
Kings and the Killers imo
Agree!.I would add Florence + the machine to that list too.
Nick UncleDrew kings & modest mouse
Gabriel Gonzalez And 1975 have such good songs! :)
My walls crashed like I would have never seen coming , my high school sweet heart ❤️ decided drugs was more important than the life we built together and I lost the battle and my soulmate, lonely 😔 and left with what could have been and why wasn’t I good enough.... I love Kings of Leon , we both did 😭💔
"You tore out my heart... "
"You threw it away.."
Breaks me everytime, if I've somehow held it together until then.
I know exactly what you mean.
A song this beautiful,you always want to keep it with you all the time.
Kings of leon have very powerful appeal to imagination,putting and sharing their emotions in the world with music.
Lucky to have this !!.❤
"A MAN AINT A MAN UNLESS HE'S FOUGHT THE FIGHT."
A man ain't a man unless he has desire ❤️❤️❤️
Pain the best teacher, the great leveler.
Such a beautiful man, soul, eyes. Truly mesmerizing song.
I was so excited to see Kings of Leon in Dallas over 10 years ago. I’ve been a huge fan ever since. The passion and raw emotion in their music are so relatable to so many. This song is no different. Just beautiful. I wish I’d had more time with my son. He was only 25 when he died.
Condolences. Stay strong 🙏🏾. God bless..
This song is a masterpiece!
Still is!
Gabriela Guerrero yes it is
Slow Nights, So Long is a masterpiece, this is just some rich dooche crying into his cock-shaped pillow.
@@Beansmorgan88 That is harsh. Very funny 🤣😭. But still brutally harsh.
@@jewulo LOL I don't think so, these guys had something, it was real stuff man, different than what anyone else was doing it wasn't just good it made music better in general. Example The Sheepdogs one of my favorite bands started out playing covers of the first 2 KOL albums, cuz thats what KOL were, like the Stooges or Joy Division, they might not be super popular, but they were so good they made you want to start a band, but they gave that up to be fucking U2 and its depressing.
i going thru a divorce after almost 30 year and this band and this song speaks to my soul - anyone else feel my pain?

John Wileman I'm so sorry. Divorces can be heartbreaking and shatter our souls. Please be strong and don't give up on life or yourself. God is always on your side.
Don't give up, and don't result to religious crap to fill the hole. Look to the skys. You're a small piece of something truly incomprehensible. Trillions of DNA makeups never got the chance to exist, yet here we are.
Shaanan, religion is dark and dead. Religion is a set of rules man created to try get right with God. What Jesus did on the cross opens the way for us. Religion says DO. Jesus said DONE. Love to you
never made love with a real and truth man,
Homeboy singing the hell out of this song; clearly someone broke his heart.
It's really tough I had that happen to me feel sorry for him
It's not about heartbreak.
I’m so so sorry about your mom, I lost mine and my best friend in 2015 , my soul still hurts so bad . She was born on Christmas Eve and now I realize she was my Christmas angel and Father God I miss her so bad . My deepest condolences to the family…. I’m sorry 😢 guys … 😢💔💜
The most incredible song and poem about having your heart destroyed by love . This song says it all !
