I’ve been listening to this album for 10 years and I still find it the most entrancing, beautiful, and otherworldly musical perfection ever created. Also, this lyric video is AMAZING. Thank you, James Mercer and Brian Burton. You’ve made the world a much better place!
This started popping up in the mix for The Shins Simple song. It’s beautiful but I still love Simple Song more currently. What was the song you were looking for?
"Leave it alone" is a personal favourite and could quite possibly be Broken Bells masterpiece, an incredibly soulful and touching song which is relatable to all, the instrumental accompanying the beautiful lyrics enrich the symbolic nature of what the song is trying to say, and that is even after heart ache and misery brought on by ones perception of their partner leads them on the path of being alone, which is that of individuality and one should embrace the choices that they have made. The listener can put themselves in the shoes of the singer as we have all felt the tough, arduous times of leaving the ones we love. The singing by James Mercer is on another level of brilliance, the passion and meaning behind what he is trying to represent can be felt in ways in which i did not believe he had in him. Overall, this song is fantastic, everybody needs to listen to this and without a shadow of doubt they will be in love with Broken Bells after it. If you dont agree, i guess you should just "Leave it alone"
+Jenni Buehler I lost my son to suicide due to his Oxy addiction...so yeah, it sure hits home on that level. Guitar Hero with my youngest brought me this gem of a song. It captured me from the moment I heard it.
if life wasn't tough it wouldn't be worth living, no matter how many times you fucked up, hating yourself for it won't ever make things right. believe me I fuckin know. take a look at the world and all its beauty, relax, and carry on...
Omg so the first time i cried to this song was because i had broken up with my ex and the lyrics "fit" back then, now i listen again and i can only think that this song could be EASILY been written by someone who just lost their pet! And now i'm crying even harder than when i cried over my ex because it's much more painful to lose a pet 😢
I find it completely amazing that I keep accidentally finding the most amazing music just playing around on you tube and I would've never heard it if it wasn't for the damn internet! Lol
[Verse 1] All this time I'd never let you go And now the same chains that I kept you in They're holding down my soul I set you up, I gave you life, I dragged you out the fire And now you knocked me down, and you shut me out And I can see it in your eyes Somehow you got it in your head That you could make it on your own You were sheltered, loved and fed But you just couldn't leave it alone [Chorus] Leave it alone, leave it alone Leave it alone, leave it alone Leave it alone, leave it alone Leave it alone, leave it alone [Verse 2] Well your heart was here Resting on my lap And I'd do it all again But I'm never coming back Well I know I'm lying Lying in the cold Yeah there's snow on the ground, and if I know myself I'll be leaving down the road I've been all around the world But I got nowhere to go I gave into this lonely life And you can't change me now, so leave it alone [Chorus] Leave it alone, leave it alone Leave it alone, leave it alone Leave it alone, leave it alone Leave it alone, leave it alone [Verse 3] The ghosts are on the green Each and every night Oh, the distant light That's the hardest part to take That's the heart of all my pain Lying in the cold Oh, the distant light In a hue we can't describe, still we know [Verse 4] Could it all be over now We've seen it all the while There's no dimension to the clouds The moon and world around That's the heart of all my pain 'Cause I don't want to go Oh, the distant light In a hue we can’t describe, still we know
The Story The only story is the story that holds The story that ages but never gets old The story that loves but never loves too long The story that loves before the love is gone ... M. S. Morrison
ephemeral and tragic, our lives upon this Earth. The distant light, our hopes and dreams, never within our reach. Broken Bells...their lyrics and music is unparalleled.
First time I listened to this song I thought of my ex boyfriend, but now listening to it again after everything that is going on in the world I feel like it's the Earth singing to us
It's hard to find a group that put out albums that you can listen non stop. I must have listened to October a million times but every time I hear it, it's like I hear it for the first time. Lazy wonderland is starting to be like that as well.

I found this looking for another song and now I like this one better than the one I was actually looking for.
This is a reason why I like to find songs on my own. The gems you find on your little journey are the ones you keep in mind.

What was the song you were looking for?
Daniela Greenwood that happens alot when im stoned
Lol
I was looking for the one on Tik Tok
"I gave into this lonely life and you can't change me now, so leave it alone" This line hits me hard.
i REJOYCE !

Joe Keller I am so sorry for your loss.
Thanks chatgpt
The aura of this song is so magical. So unreal and pure.
We need a 4th broken bells album.
I love this song. Broken Bells is just a fresh breath of air. It's completely different, but yet amazing.
They sound like Thrice somewhat. He has that voice, can really sing!
The words ring in my head. Just found them today!

IOL What you said was the truth.
Best wishes!
This is what music sounds like when the heart is tied to the lyrics
I've loved the broken bells forever, but this song really takes the cake for me.
Very relatable.
This is how you make lyric videos. Not lyrics that are flying all over the place! Creative and simple!
great song too!
This song is an amazing example of modern blues and soul. I love it
Just outstanding, listening to this in the middle of the night w/ a good pair of headphones = perfection.
Omg so the first time i cried to this song was because i had broken up with my ex and the lyrics "fit" back then, now i listen again and i can only think that this song could be EASILY been written by someone who just lost their pet!

It's so good... I found the perfect end-song for my playlist. This is the mood.
the visuals in this video are absolutely beautiful, and fit the music so well.
"You were sheltered loved and fed
But you just couldn't leave it alone"
Sounds like me yelling at my cat for eating plastic.
Best!!!!
Now that is damn funny.
Zatyr Ashen thank you for bringing some humor into the sadness 🙏💖
thanks for the laugh
Haha best comment.
DEEP!!
Yet still great musically.
Very aestheitcally pleasing to my ears
So smooth and chill... love it.
Goosebumps. These guys get it.
Broken bells have been a boost for me since 2013/2014! Total access of pretty music!
Awesome song. So much depth. Miss you already 😓
Oh my god, Broken Bells can do no wrong.
Elementary brings me here. You're brilliant, Sherlock.
Masterpiece
I know all the songs of this album❤️ can't get enough of them. I've said it so many times and will again..the most underrated band right now. 👌🙌
This song is exactly what the world needs!
Who here heard this song because they already knew about Broken Bells and their amazing music?
Found them about 10sec ago and had to check a few other songs after Holding On For Life.
I only know because of the shins
I did.
I did! love their vibe and soul love his voice!! ❤❤I have been listening to Broken Bells for about 4 years now!
Mercer pulls the heart strings every time, beyond time
I think this is my favorite song off this album. I really relate to the lyrics.
Heard this on Elementary yesterday night......so beautiful
Pretty glad I finally found them. Never have heard their music before.
This song moves me to the core!
[Verse 1]
All this time I'd never let you go
And now the same chains that I kept you in
They're holding down my soul
I set you up, I gave you life, I dragged you out the fire
And now you knocked me down, and you shut me out
And I can see it in your eyes
Somehow you got it in your head
That you could make it on your own
You were sheltered, loved and fed
But you just couldn't leave it alone
[Chorus]
Leave it alone, leave it alone
Leave it alone, leave it alone
Leave it alone, leave it alone
Leave it alone, leave it alone
[Verse 2]
Well your heart was here
Resting on my lap
And I'd do it all again
But I'm never coming back
Well I know I'm lying
Lying in the cold
Yeah there's snow on the ground, and if I know myself
I'll be leaving down the road
I've been all around the world
But I got nowhere to go
I gave into this lonely life
And you can't change me now, so leave it alone
[Chorus]
Leave it alone, leave it alone
Leave it alone, leave it alone
Leave it alone, leave it alone
Leave it alone, leave it alone
[Verse 3]
The ghosts are on the green
Each and every night
Oh, the distant light
That's the hardest part to take
That's the heart of all my pain
Lying in the cold
Oh, the distant light
In a hue we can't describe, still we know
[Verse 4]
Could it all be over now
We've seen it all the while
There's no dimension to the clouds
The moon and world around
That's the heart of all my pain
'Cause I don't want to go
Oh, the distant light
In a hue we can’t describe, still we know
God, just LOVE this song! SO much passion! 💜👍🏻
Visual art is B E A U T I F U L!
And music too, obviously
“Leave it alone.” ... the theme song of my life
Never regret your mistakes. They are what make you a better version of you.
It makes a good mantra, for me at least.
awesome!!
it's been on repeat for like an hour already! love it!
this and 'holding on for life"
4 years later on this day I came across this song. I too have it on repeat 👊🏾🙏🏾😎
How can you listen to the same song for an hour? I mean i love the song but you just can't listen to a same song for an hour straight :D
Btw are you still like alive? After 4 years do u like the song lol

2,6 out of the 2,7 Million Views must be mine. God how I love this Band. ❤
Nice track. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the album.
I can't seem to leave this song alone
It's a lot of "Black Keys" in this song, I really like it!
Will put this on the top of my list! Wow, what another hit by these guys.
i gave u life. u were sheltered, loved, & fed. leave it alone. broken bells 4 lyfe.
Maybe my favorite Broken Bells Song... so much soul
The Story
The only story is the story that holds
The story that ages but never gets old
The story that loves but never loves too long
The story that loves before the love is gone ...
M. S. Morrison
Beautiful poem
Burns the Soul out of my Body. Still love it
ephemeral and tragic, our lives upon this Earth. The distant light, our hopes and dreams, never within our reach. Broken Bells...their lyrics and music is unparalleled.
Just found this band and I'm already loving it! :D

After listening to these guys for years and now being their biggest fan, I can say that this isn’t even their best work. Love you guys

these lyrics hurt so good
It makes me feel so fucking nostalgic about this world and all that will be lost.
Omg you are exactly thinking as I do
Exquisite- a word to describe this music and the band that is a fine blend to share....
It's hard to find a group that put out albums that you can listen non stop. I must have listened to October a million times but every time I hear it, it's like I hear it for the first time. Lazy wonderland is starting to be like that as well.
Solid track Mate.
