I was 21 and working as a gardener i a small company, for years people (mostly my some of my teachers at school) told me that i worked to slow to work in a normal company but instead needed to go to a special sort of company for people with a disability. Suprisingly my boss found me that good that he gave me a little second hand company car to do some of his costumers, a few days later i was driving around in that car and then this song pops up on the radio, and i just felt so proud at what i had achieved. Moral of the story never stop believing in yourself. :)
I turned 31 years this year in August 25th, on my birthday I woke up at 4am and drove to my favorite beach (Manhattan beach, CA). Upon arriving there I was alone and free from everything and everyone. Ive battled with depression and anxiety all of my life, one of my most recent battles I was facing was my codependency issues people have brought up for me. First time in my life I was okay being my self, by myself. I felt the true understanding of the fear I was being held back from loving the most important person I have in my life and that is myself. This song takes me back to that moment standing there in the waters of the beach finally feeling free and accepting myself. It takes me back to that moment where I wish I could live in forever; that moment.
Slowly but surely I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and people like you are coming along with me. Thanks for sharing and I hope you carry yourself with more and more pride and self love every day for the rest of your life.
fun fact: the first time i heard this song was on a roadtrip along the west coast of ireland on the only channel that had signal. we were all quiet and just listened to it. honestly, that was a feeling i still have no words for.
My uncle showed me this. His dad recently died and he told me that he found this song when his dad requested it a few minutes before he died. He remembers the serenity of playing that song in the hospital room, holding his phone up to his dad's ear, one last song before it all goes black. I was sitting outside under the stars when he told me this. Really hit differently.
I turn 74 tomorrow, a lifetime Dylan fan. I heard The War on Drugs for the first time just the other day. How did I miss them, their earlier albums? Age maybe? Huh? Anyway I heard this song this afternoon and instantly knew it was a GREAT one. Think of it, I have heard and taken in music of all kinds since shortly after WWII, so much water over the dam, in my life, and yet this strikes me as a beautiful, deep song. See it through my eyes. :)
I guess you have so many experiences, so many unique moments, so much to teach. I'm impressed someone your age, same age as my dad, is here sharing emotions. Good on you.
I’m 75 and discovered this song while listening to Pandora on my bicycle ride!! I can not tell you how many times I have listened to it since that wonderful day two yrs ago…….like you I knew immediately it was one for the books!!
he looks like he's in a cold dark place looking somewhere else. beautiful exit music on the northern beaches nsw tonight & the healing power of the sun xoxo
Now listen the full album! you''ll never regret it, it was one of the best things i've done in my entire life! such a wonderful album, makes me cry everytime I listen to it :')
fucking love your guts Patrick. I did the same thing and life is only getting better...The War on Drugs is literally music that changes the way you see the world and that's what music is all about right? This song is artistic magic :)
In an internet world full of shaming and hurtful words, this comment section is nothing but love. And that’s what this song truly inspires. Truly beautiful.
This song is such a masterpiece that it will resonate for everyone differently in their own special way. First third of the song takes me back to the unexpected death of my baby son at one week old. Middle third takes me back to the years of grief and pain my wife and I went through after, hoping we'd one day be in a better place again. Last third of the song is the love and joy our one-year-old girl has brought us since.
As a truck driver I listen this words and music over and over..........great inspiration, enjoying the loneliness over the road. Thinking of that place!! ✌
I too listen to it mostly on the road almost every day. I usually save it for a long rural road with lots of distant hills etc. Soundrack to my life at the moment. This and Texas Sun by Khruangbin, not as good but give it a go.
Reading these beautiful comments, I felt the need to tell mine. So, I just recently graduated and my life had been a rollercoaster. My mom passed away way back 2019 after fighting cancer for 4 years. My dad died last year due to car accident. I was his last backride on his motorcycle, and I still remember that last glance I gave to him after he gave me a ride to the hospital where I practiced my internship as a medtech. People may think I’m coping well with what I’ve been through but every night when I’m alone, I can’t help but feel everything at once and cry silently, hoping that I will have better days ahead and that the hardships I’ve been through were all gonna be worth it. Fast forward, on June 15, I graduated and being awarded as an outstanding medical technology intern in my favorite lab section, hematology. It’s definitely all worth it. And now, I just got hired and will start my job tomorrow. I’m still anxious whenever I think what my future will be. There may be more bad days ahead but good things have been here and will more to come. For whatever it’s worth, I guess the act of being more in the present and just try to live life, is enough :) To mom and pops: Thank you for raising me. Love you both always
They are so very proud - know this & remember it always. You now have a pair of guardian angels, forever watching over you.... so don't let them down. Good luck, take care. ❤
Hi think positive it will all work out my dad passed in 1983 he was 42 he fell of a ladder getting on to a roof 50 ft to the concrete we had very bad days too it's awful
First heard this song at a bar while waiting for my date (ex girlfriend) to show up. I was completely drawn in to the music structure and melodies. She arrived seconds later after the song started and we had one of the best nights ever talking the night away, having drinks, and laughing. Every time this song comes on I think about that one night last year when I was with her having a great time. It pains my heart whenever I listen to it because I'm reminded of her so much. I miss her.
better to live and love than to have never lived and loved at all... sir... you deserve another song... another war on drugs song.. but this time can I take your place? lol
i need a gf... these days times are tough. I love american girls. no joke. I have been aborad to europe and drank with many girls in parks in madrid , girls that were teachers... it was fun. anyways. bye.
You know that this is the type of song that suddenly pops out of nowhere on a radio during a lonely night drive in the hard time of your life. And it hits you big time and you can’t stop tears from coming. To everyone who is struggling with life, please be patient, the good times are always ahead 🙏🏻
I'm 26 now, no future, mental problems and living at my parents house, this song gives me the chance to experience false memories of a time i never experienced, a youth full of memories with friends, girlfriend, for a minute it's like i went through all of that.
Yes bru, this Song let you See things that Never happen, i experience Similar thing, dont give up, never, like Taste the Bad stuff so you can enjoy good, which can happen one day, we never know!
discovered this on my helicopter going home from oil platforn where I work the northern sea, Norway. The cabins mandatory headphones/ear protection and a playlist designed by its own company. flying low over the sea, ascending slowly towards soft blurry white clouds no sun. so trippy, whimsical and marvellous. Had no clue how long it lastet..lost track of time and space after a long nightshift. Too many hours awake, Love at 1st sight. Thanks guys. Bless
This song has me sitting on a hill top overlooking the rolling green fields with magnificent tress and a meandering creek running through down below.. I am in awe of the natural world , its beauty and truth. I am sitting there looking out feeling so much gratitude for my life and beautiful songs like this. ❤
"See it through my eyes Love me like no other And hold my hand as something turns to me And turns me into you".... Everything that needs to be said by two lovers in a nutshell. The words that post-modern societies lack to express. But listening to this song and reading the comments of my fellow brothers and sisters, I can say "Thank you God, there is still hope!!!"
People who suffer great pain can be greatly comforted by beautiful music like this. Often I did not understand this well enough for persons I cannot bring back to life now
I bought their vinyl, so one day I can play this to my kids. I think everyone who listens to it experiences emotional roller coaster, and imagine about, is he really living the life he deserves? All the memories from the childhood, sweet and sour moments comes in front of my eyes, and emotions are hard to stop, you just leave it to pass and enjoy this very true emotion from this, once in a century, band.
This song is dangerous. As in a good way. It makes you examine where you are in your life and what you are doing. Who and what do you love? How are you finding your way through the dark of a long, black night? “See it through my eyes, love me like no other.” Etc. So many lines that just hit home, hard.
I can't even explain how much I connect with this song, because I can't describe it in a way that doesn't sound like I'm having a psychotic episode, but thank you so much Adam and TWOD for creating such a beautiful mirror
I discovered this song around the second half of March 2017, my oldest brother just committed suicide and this song crossed my path. "There was pain in your eyes when you vanished in the night, misery river in the distance". It speaks to me this very day and still don't understand why and what for, but it comforts me that thinking of this place takes me to him. Few weeks back, the band played Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam and I would have never thought they'd close a 2 hour concert with an 11 minute song. Thanks Adam, you gave me some form of closure and am for ever grateful that you've kept me close to him, thinking of a place where we'd meet again.
My fiancé and I grew up along the Missouri River, and everytime I hear this beautiful song I think of my home, my family, and my love. Its so beautiful it makes me want to cry. Thank you.
this song is a beautiful melody, the progression is perfect, provoke in my different sensation, in art , is perfect Greetings from my little country Chile, hidden in a corner of this world, my room ........
Buena weón! Esta canción entró a mi lista de tops en pandemia, opino lo mismo que tú, la progresión es perfecta, la última parte es la que más me gusta.
This song has been on repeat for me for the last year and half as I moved from my home in Canada to my birthplace Chile. I agree with you Angel, the progression is perfect, it provokes in me a melancholic searching as one might feel in the idea of ˋcoming home.´.
Last weeks of my pregnancy I was listening to this song for hours. Now the baby is one week old and falls asleep in a few minutes when we start this great song :-)
I bet i could find you one. Not better. But equal in it's own brilliance. Even something from different genres. It's a massive world is music. It will take more than a lifetime to discover everything.
Andrew, Well put my friend, However YOU HAVE TO BE IN THIS GIFTED PLACE at the right TIME, so your ABLE TO HEAR THE GIFT YOU'LL RECEIVE WITHIN THIS SONG. That allows you to be captured by this one songs musical spell received. This song gives you, during your first listening. During these very first few seconds of listening, the song has such a subtle yet strong structural spell, that magically locks the listener into a very unusual transfixed state. That most powerful inner beauty, is easily able to capture the trancendenation. To the listener from the songs begaining right up until the songs end. With that same soft subtle way the song first took you in. Now in the songs end it subtly releases you from it's beautiful, yet most powerful grip with such softness. Take Care all of you around the world, my dear friends. Take Care and Be Well..🇨🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸🌏✌...
@ ASlightyDissaponting Salad..... Yes..PINK FLOYD is the beramator that set the bar, for the new sound of movement. Although Inde Rock/Prog Music...the road had been paved years before. It's a very refreshing sound that's long overdue, to reach many of many of ears. Young and old alike. Live each day to it's fullest my friend. Take Care & Be Well 🇺🇸🇬🇧🏴🇨🇦🇮🇹🇲🇫🇧🇷🇲🇽 =🌏☮
@jackthehatuk.... How true, I'm sure you would be able to do so..I've been fortunate to have been a intricate part of Music for a great while now. The key for me is this. When a Musical Artist or Artists are able to paint something beautiful without, using a brush or canvas as their medium but musical instruments. Which in some way grabs your deepest emotions or memories, sad or happy. Or your own imagination is taken on a beautiful mental ride without physical movement, your captured in those minutes how many that may be. You've been touched in a place that only your welcomed to visit, or with friends in some instances. If you have a such a recomendation of a Musical Artist or Artists. Please my friend send me a reply. Live each day as you have no tomorrow. Before you know it, inner peace strength, and beauty will follow. Take Care & Be Well.. 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇲🇫🇮🇹🇧🇷🇲🇽🏴🇨🇦 = 🎼🌏☮...
I am 65 and a whole lot of the people I know my age insist there isn't any good music being made anymore, No , they just don't look hard enough. This is a good as anything they were playing when I was in High School.
The solace, the lead singer’s raw vocal emotions, & most importantly the layered guitars & instrumental work jar emotion in me that I don’t often feel. An absolute masterpiece.
there are just too many beautiful things in this universe that are just beautiful with no explanation. they are just simply beautiful. this song is an example of that.
This track right here pretty much summarizes my way out of depression and into love. I just can't be down or hopeless if I put this on. I don't know how to be down knowing I can just play this song again, and music in general. I feel lucky
I listened at this song for first the same day my dog died, she was 7 months old and she had a problem for breathing, everytime i listen this song i can't stop think about her and cry so bad... i miss her
This song is so beautiful. It's that feeling where you're so open and receptive to all the experiences in life (bliss and sadness) that you're on the verge of tears.
The production on this is astounding. It takes the expansiveness of the song and let’s it ride but then pulls it back into an intimate room at the right moments. By far my favorite song.
I just recounted a traumatic childhood experience listening to this song and now I don't know how to feel. What in the actual fuck. This is powerful stuff.
This song made you feel so safe that your mind felt ready to show you that. I hope you're managing well and working through that stuff, and that you're still finding songs to ease this difficult path
it gives me joy to read these comments of so many people remembering how they listened to this for the first time and experienced losing track of the time. same here. I hadnt expected this coming, it just popped up on youtube sometime late in the evening. I was alone at home, put my headphones on and just danced away in the dark. will never forget.
I was in an abusive controlling relationship - leaving him was the worst pain I have ever had in my life. This song got me through it. There’s just something in the lyrics “there’s a darkness over there, we ain’t going” that means so much for me. Perhaps an mantra to never dwell on the too dark things too long, but also I think a message of hope - knowing that leaving him was avoiding that darkness. I love you war on drugs and thank you for everything you have done for my life. I am a better person because of it x
…You literally put in words what I have experienced myself recently. Like…same here. This song got me through the deepest darkness I had to face in order to free myself from a sticky spiderweb of emotional addiction and condependency. Thank you for having left your comment here. I am sending you unconditional love and peace, dear soul 🙏
First minute-my ears fell in love, second minute-my soul was lost in the music, then I began crying with wonder, joy, and disbelief. Humans are awesome sometimes arent they?
You're goddamn right, the first time I heard this I was in shock, I had to find this magic song. To me this was pure magic, I fell in love instantly, my colleague and friend said that when you hear this you'll buy the album and when you buy the album you just have to visit a concert. I bought the album, then I bought the album again on lp, bought some more albums. Fell completely in love and at last they were coming to Amsterdam so I immediately bought tickets and it was amazing, what a show words can't explain how much I love this song and this band.
This is the closest I've ever felt to meditating while listening to a song. I don't know what it is about it, but it just sucks you in and allows your mind to relax while it plays. It's magical.
This song helped me accept Jesus christ. Everytime I hear it I'm back to that moment I gave up my fight in the world, accepted and confessed his name higher than mine. Be alive in christ and dead to this American dream.
"Thinking Of A Place" It was back in Little Bend that I saw you Light was changing on the water Where birds above had flown There was pain in your eyes So you vanished in the night Missouri River in the distance So I lied upon the lawn I remember walking against the darkness of the beach Love is like a ghost in the distance, ever-reached Travel through the night 'cause there is no fear Alone but right behind till I watched you disappear I'm moving through the dark Of a long black night Just moving with the moon And the light it shines And I'm thinking of a place And it feels so very real Just moving through the dark Once I had a dream I was falling from the sky Coming down like running water Passing by myself alight In the morning, I would wake to the sound of someone's voice Like little whispers through the silence I'm moving through the dark Of a long black night And I'm looking at the moon And the light it shines But I'm thinking of a place And it feels so very real Oh, the suffering of love Come and take my hand, babe There's a turn in the road that we've been taking Let it set you free Because there's a rhythm in the way that we've been moving Yeah, there's a darkness over there, but we ain't going See it through through my eyes Walk me to the water Hold my hand as something turns to me Love me every night Drown me in the water Hold my hand as something turning me See it through my eyes Love me like no other And hold my hand as something turns to me And turns me into you Lead me through the night Pull me from the water Hold my hand as something turns to me Turns me into you Just see it through my eyes Love me like no other Hold my hand as something turns to me Turns me into you Turning me Into you
Since everyone seems to be sharing their experience on when they first heard this song, mine was just an hour ago... just got home from a stressful, yet mundane day at school and it immediately gave me the comfort I needed
This song i played for my brother back in 2018. He went through abuse as a kid and took to drink. he dropped dead 4 days later of a heart attack. .. So the song will always mean so much to me....
Last year, Nov 5th 20, I was listening to my Dad's funeral songs on TH-cam (6years funeral date) Van Morrison, then THIS SONG randomly started playing... I had never heard this song or of the band before. I can't tell you how POWERFUL IT WAS AND STILL IS. Every beat, sound, word, lyric through to the story of the song and how its power resonated deep. My heart opened wide and the tears flooding by the end of the first verse! But it felt so freeing and loved. I can't put into words how powerful, spiritually connected and healing an experience it was. It felt like he was so present through the whole song/experience. I felt as if I finally mourned for my Dad's loss. I had only found him 4 years prior after 30 years separation and I was heavily pregnant with my daughter when he passed. So this will ALWAYS be a very special song to me. Still makes my hair stand up... Also have a thing with numbers, tgis song is 11:11 long, it first played at 23:23 ❤️👌🏻 For a year now, I feel this band have given me so much more than music but a tool to free/connect/heal. Thank you for the music magic 🙏🏻😊🎶✨❤️
Hearing your story makes me happy. I've had those types of moments with songs and it can trigger those memories for the rest of your life.. You will always have that feeling through this song. That is yours forever. Fucking beautiful
They decided to go against the current and to me is perfect. A song with more than 11 minutes, on voice appears later than first minute, on calm and silence moments are again in a song, great feeling on voice and melodies. Great Adam.
Anytime my depression takes over I listen to this song, a calmness overwhelms my mind. I believe with The War on Drugs and a few other bands I can overtake it. Thank you for creating wonderful music!
I was on my computer, working and listening to music. And my google home played the song randomly. I remember I stopped working and just listened to the whole song. Thank you google home for finding me one of my all time favorite songs lol.
When my wife and I were dating, she came over to my place during this one day and spent the night. I had to work night shift and late that night while she was staying up texting me. I sent her this song. Years later married we were driving back to North Carolina from a trip and we were in Virginia. My play list went to this song. It got quiet in the car. In my peripheral I say her crying sliently.
I'm 25 years old been on my own since I was 17 living on people's couches playing music listening to music and I dream one day I'll be able to write a song as meaningful as this because I love to see people feel music the way I do. With my mental health not being so great and not feeling as whole I hope one day I can be old and know that I did great things in my life and be able live on til I'm sitting on .y front porch in a rocking chair smoking a cigarette drinking coffee and looking back at all the memories that I have with people and know I'm not a bad person I can go on knowing I'm as good as the sound of this band makes
You'll get there Sean... if this song is your reference, you'll do great things. Write it up, melody it, wall of sound that shit... like everything else in life
Listening to this beautiful song while writing my phd thesis. A lot of work and this song helps. It also helps me to believe in my dreams, that I am already becoming who I want to be. I hope I can come back to this comment in a few years and realize that I accomplished everything I dream about today :) This song gives me hope
I first clicked on this song thinking "11 minutes, dang... Ok, I'll give it a shot." Within seconds, I completely lost track of time, like a vivid dream that carries you away, and you wish would never end.
The fret-less electric bass, the pedal steel, the Wurlitzer (or Rhodes, can't tell), the greatest snare drum ever recorded in the history of snare drums, the subtle synth, the crispy dry ride cymbal, the sparkling tremolo, THE BRIDGE! , the archetypal - sad, yet somehow uplifting lyrics that we've come to love from Adam, the startlingly pretty outro lick at the end that is saved just for those who listen the whole 11 minutes......marvelous.
Music transcends but doesn't eradicate injustices and ill health , poverty and so much more. Escapism through music aids anxiety but reality has too be addressed. If only it was that simple. Too many corrupt people . Music and empathic musicians i love you. ❤
This is one of the most important songs of my life. I found it when I was sixteen and it’s played during some of the most special moments of my life since then. I’m nineteen now but it still makes me feel the same way I did when i first heard it. It’ll always have a special place in my heart.
A song that can make you feel both sad and happy throughout its entirety is something special. Cannot wait for the new album. The War on drugs, you guys are something very special.
I'm a 19 years old loner. I don't know what to do with my life. Im listening this song thinking of a place where everywhere is comfort,freedom and peace. I had a girlfriend. Spending hours everyday together. Then we broke up and after 2 year I decided to write to her. When we were together she said im perfect and i deserve the best from this world. I just wanted to talk a bit with her. To see how is she, just talk, nothing much . She blocked me. Said nothing. She was a liar. But i loved her. Till this day . I feel just like this song now.
I was driving through construction zone, irritated, pissed off, then this song played on satellite radio. Suddenly everything was OK, none of the hassles mattered, it was all beautiful. How often does a song do that? Moody Blues, Neil Young, pure inspiration and artistic expression, it's all there.
Moody Blues? Thats a new one. Whats a good Moody Blues track to play to hear the influence? I don't hear it one bit. Neil Young sure but not as obvious as Dylan or Paul Simon. Even Jackson Brown.
I heard this song for the first time after my boyfriend past away. Music really heals the heart & soul. Still moving through the dark.. but not alone anymore ✨❤️
The song gradually builds in intensity, enveloping the listener in a sonic journey that mirrors the complexities of the human experience. The heartfelt vocals and poetic imagery create a profound atmosphere, allowing the listener to connect with the profound emotions conveyed. Whether it's the introspective lyrics or the captivating instrumentation, "Thinking of a Place" has the power to touch the soul and leave a lasting impression, reminding us of the beauty and depth that music can bring to our lives.
this song is almost painfully beautiful. I almost feel like I experience every emotion listening to it. I feel pure Bliss yet so sad and restrained yet free and grateful yet envious and light yet dark I can't begin to explain how beautiful and amazing this song is I just wish I knew someone in person who appreciates it as much as I do or even just knows about it at all. although it's a great feeling seeing all the comments from people who do appreciate it as much as me with their beautiful stories related to the song.
This song is so nostalgic for me, and my family for that rather. During the time we were locked in our homes, I would lay outside on my deck in the sun, and listen to this song on repeat. While the world was in chaos, and a country was being divided - I was in peace, in my own world, I was loving, living, and thriving. With each play , in that 11 minutes and 12 seconds - everything was alright.
I must be nuts. I've been working all weekend and have this song on loop. Discovered TWOD by accident a few years ago at Ottawa's City Folk Festival and truly believe that this is not only the best band out there but one of the best songs ever. The depth of their music is unparalleled. Eyes to the Wind was my favourite tune by TWOD until this one! Cannot wait for the album!
The first time I heard this song I was sitting on my back deck looking out across the paddocks to my horses who were grazing quietly after the rain. Im 55 and it feels like it has taken me a lifetime to find this pure sense of peace and freedom.
This may be the perfect song. The flow and feeling of it brings a lot of emotion to the surface. And don't get me started on the guitar solo, it's from a different time, gorgeous.
Iain McColm; Top of the....Oh forget all that Rubbish..Now your asking yourself. Did I take the Red pill or the blue..?? Just joking Iain my friend. However, we all know and understand your concept. What I'm trying to understand is your point, overall in your comment. Be good to yourself and take care..🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇸🎸
This song found me in the middle of my dark night of the soul, the worst time of my life and yet the most promising and meaningful. Thank you so much for giving us this masterpiece.

This is beautiful!
Thanks you
@@Hakajin yes
@@DG-EditsYT hi there im doing great greetings:)
I turned 31 years this year in August 25th, on my birthday I woke up at 4am and drove to my favorite beach (Manhattan beach, CA). Upon arriving there I was alone and free from everything and everyone. Ive battled with depression and anxiety all of my life, one of my most recent battles I was facing was my codependency issues people have brought up for me. First time in my life I was okay being my self, by myself. I felt the true understanding of the fear I was being held back from loving the most important person I have in my life and that is myself. This song takes me back to that moment standing there in the waters of the beach finally feeling free and accepting myself. It takes me back to that moment where I wish I could live in forever; that moment.
Cheers man.
From the bottom of my heart, Thanks for sharing this meaningful story.
Enjoy ur life bro :)
Slowly but surely I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and people like you are coming along with me. Thanks for sharing and I hope you carry yourself with more and more pride and self love every day for the rest of your life.
Fuerza hermano, la vida es una constante lucha interna y otras externa.
This is like Pink Floyd, Dire Straits and Brian Adams mixed into one.
What a masterpiece.
I heard Dire Straight too!
Yeah the e guitar reminds me of Dire Straits
perfect combination :)
The voice is a mix between Bryan Adams and Bob Dylan
Yeah, I hear Dylan too.
fun fact: the first time i heard this song was on a roadtrip along the west coast of ireland on the only channel that had signal.
we were all quiet and just listened to it. honestly, that was a feeling i still have no words for.
what a beautiful image
That is exactly how imagined it goodness
Lacerta wow amazing story. I bet it was absolutely beautiful
That is so perfect. Thank you.
Lacerta i wish i had that moment
My uncle showed me this. His dad recently died and he told me that he found this song when his dad requested it a few minutes before he died. He remembers the serenity of playing that song in the hospital room, holding his phone up to his dad's ear, one last song before it all goes black. I was sitting outside under the stars when he told me this. Really hit differently.
I can find serenity in this song also
My brothers and I took a guitar into our Mom's hospice room and sang to her - hope she could hear us, sending her off.
Wow, this will be my song too x
How utterly beautiful…
This is a beautiful comment ❤ I pray he found final comfort in the beauty of this song
I turn 74 tomorrow, a lifetime Dylan fan. I heard The War on Drugs for the first time just the other day. How did I miss them, their earlier albums? Age maybe? Huh? Anyway I heard this song this afternoon and instantly knew it was a GREAT one. Think of it, I have heard and taken in music of all kinds since shortly after WWII, so much water over the dam, in my life, and yet this strikes me as a beautiful, deep song. See it through my eyes. :)
I guess you have so many experiences, so many unique moments, so much to teach. I'm impressed someone your age, same age as my dad, is here sharing emotions. Good on you.
Happy belated birthday
I’m 75 and discovered this song while listening to Pandora on my bicycle ride!! I can not tell you how many times I have listened to it since that wonderful day two yrs ago…….like you I knew immediately it was one for the books!!
C'est magnifique cette chanson. Nous arrache l'âme
His singing reminds me so much of Dylan. Great songs
One of the best songs written during the 2000's. Poor souls to those who will never experience this masterpiece
he looks like he's in a cold dark place looking somewhere else. beautiful exit music on the northern beaches nsw tonight & the healing power of the sun xoxo
Heard it for the very first time today. Almost had a visceral emotional reaction to it. Unreal
make it one of the best songs written in the 21st century ...
There's no apostrophe in 2000s. I just saved you a keystroke.
Really ❤
I quit my soul sucking job after listening to this song for a couple days. 2nd best decision I've made in my life. Live without fear.
Hell yeah brother
Amen
Now listen the full album! you''ll never regret it, it was one of the best things i've done in my entire life! such a wonderful album, makes me cry everytime I listen to it :')
fucking love your guts Patrick. I did the same thing and life is only getting better...The War on Drugs is literally music that changes the way you see the world and that's what music is all about right? This song is artistic magic :)
❤️
I love how all of the comments are so beautifully written and how much every person who wrote one is in love with this song
True! Loving to read the comment section on this one, while listening 🎵
Whats not to love about this just a masterpiece
❤
In an internet world full of shaming and hurtful words, this comment section is nothing but love. And that’s what this song truly inspires. Truly beautiful.
I'm a grown ass man and cried the first time I heard this.
Crying ain't just for kids.
@@christineharrelson4831 or gender has anything to do with it
Same. And it wasn’t the only time.
Me too.
me too
This song is such a masterpiece that it will resonate for everyone differently in their own special way.
First third of the song takes me back to the unexpected death of my baby son at one week old. Middle third takes me back to the years of grief and pain my wife and I went through after, hoping we'd one day be in a better place again. Last third of the song is the love and joy our one-year-old girl has brought us since.
I'm glad youse made it through. It'll never go away, but you learn to live with it, if that makes sense. Take care good luck with everything
@@harlowjademermaid1882gracias
As a truck driver I listen this words and music over and over..........great inspiration, enjoying the loneliness over the road. Thinking of that place!!
✌
I too listen to it mostly on the road almost every day. I usually save it for a long rural road with lots of distant hills etc. Soundrack to my life at the moment.
This and Texas Sun by Khruangbin, not as good but give it a go.
Nice !
hope the road treats you well, brother.
Thank you for your great service to this country.
Yea
This song is a journey and a healing for the soul.
Absolutely!!👍👍💯
Ohh is it? I should have not paid to my therapist
Always. You're never the same after it ends as you were when it started.
The War On Drugs produces such soothing music. This is how love should feel.
This song is hauntingly beautiful. When that harmonica kicks in at 7:35 you melt in your seat. What a timeless masterpiece.
Yeah his approach to original guitar sounds and timing is quite wonderful
I just pray to God I meet atleast one person in real life who loves this song and we tell each other our stories attached to this song.
i can tell you
There are are are many people who can feel your pain. Good humans abound on this earth, moving through it.
@@JR-kc8jx yess
Han bhai bta mujhe.
I’m with you
Reading these beautiful comments, I felt the need to tell mine. So, I just recently graduated and my life had been a rollercoaster. My mom passed away way back 2019 after fighting cancer for 4 years. My dad died last year due to car accident. I was his last backride on his motorcycle, and I still remember that last glance I gave to him after he gave me a ride to the hospital where I practiced my internship as a medtech. People may think I’m coping well with what I’ve been through but every night when I’m alone, I can’t help but feel everything at once and cry silently, hoping that I will have better days ahead and that the hardships I’ve been through were all gonna be worth it.
Fast forward, on June 15, I graduated and being awarded as an outstanding medical technology intern in my favorite lab section, hematology. It’s definitely all worth it. And now, I just got hired and will start my job tomorrow.
I’m still anxious whenever I think what my future will be. There may be more bad days ahead but good things have been here and will more to come. For whatever it’s worth, I guess the act of being more in the present and just try to live life, is enough :)
To mom and pops: Thank you for raising me. Love you both always
They are so very proud - know this & remember it always.
You now have a pair of guardian angels, forever watching over you....
so don't let them down.
Good luck, take care.
❤
Hi think positive it will all work out my dad passed in 1983 he was 42 he fell of a ladder getting on to a roof 50 ft to the concrete we had very bad days too it's awful
Very beautiful. Good luck to you. Your parents are proud!!
First heard this song at a bar while waiting for my date (ex girlfriend) to show up. I was completely drawn in to the music structure and melodies. She arrived seconds later after the song started and we had one of the best nights ever talking the night away, having drinks, and laughing. Every time this song comes on I think about that one night last year when I was with her having a great time. It pains my heart whenever I listen to it because I'm reminded of her so much. I miss her.
better to live and love than to have never lived and loved at all... sir... you deserve another song... another war on drugs song.. but this time can I take your place? lol
There's nothing more human than missing someone you used to love
i need a gf... these days times are tough. I love american girls. no joke. I have been aborad to europe and drank with many girls in parks in madrid , girls that were teachers... it was fun. anyways. bye.
Keep your head up king
Is that feeling not mutual?
You know that this is the type of song that suddenly pops out of nowhere on a radio during a lonely night drive in the hard time of your life. And it hits you big time and you can’t stop tears from coming. To everyone who is struggling with life, please be patient, the good times are always ahead 🙏🏻
I'm 26 now, no future, mental problems and living at my parents house, this song gives me the chance to experience false memories of a time i never experienced, a youth full of memories with friends, girlfriend, for a minute it's like i went through all of that.
Don’t give up man it’s never late
Yes bru, this Song let you See things that Never happen, i experience Similar thing, dont give up, never, like Taste the Bad stuff so you can enjoy good, which can happen one day, we never know!
You are still quite young. Go outside, exercise, take responsabilites in your life (even small ones). You have a future.
discovered this on my helicopter going home from oil platforn where I work the northern sea, Norway. The cabins mandatory headphones/ear protection and a playlist designed by its own company. flying low over the sea, ascending slowly towards soft blurry white clouds no sun. so trippy, whimsical and marvellous. Had no clue how long it lastet..lost track of time and space after a long nightshift. Too many hours awake, Love at 1st sight. Thanks guys. Bless
Man that's a hell of a description!
Man... Can I go with you?
That is AWESOME
A very human moment
magical - thank you
Im truly happy for everyone who found this song during quarantine
me too, i was just listening to it while doing a project, definetely made me enjoy it just a bit more lol
Way before quarentine
We just deserved it
be my wife xd
I prefer to call it house arrest. You don't quarantine the healthy imo
This song has me sitting on a hill top overlooking the rolling green fields with magnificent tress and a meandering creek running through down below..
I am in awe of the natural world , its beauty and truth.
I am sitting there looking out feeling so much gratitude for my life and beautiful songs like this. ❤
Words can't describe how much I love this song. Truly a masterpiece.
ThatMadCat HEYY loll, I’m a longtime yogscast fan as well lol fancy seein u here
Bang on bud✊🏿
For sure my friend
Same
Same here 🧡
"See it through my eyes
Love me like no other
And hold my hand as something turns to me
And turns me into you"....
Everything that needs to be said by two lovers in a nutshell.
The words that post-modern societies lack to express.
But listening to this song and reading the comments of my fellow brothers and sisters, I can say "Thank you God, there is still hope!!!"
People who suffer great pain can be greatly comforted by beautiful music like this. Often I did not understand this well enough for persons I cannot bring back to life now
As someone who's only means of expression is music, I can't think of a better way to say it.
@@dojno9999 thank you Tim
I love you for making this comment.
Listen to Charlotte's thong, another masterpiece from the 2010's
The world can't be that a bad place if it offers us such an incredibly beautiful song, can it?
well the world is still pretty shitty
same thing i was thinking, thanks to such beautiful creations, life can be bearable :)
FabZombie Its cliche but the PEOPLE are SHITTY. Not EARTH. This planet gives your LIFE.
The world and all living on it are just as it should be; get used to it. We can't change the world, just the world inside us. I love you.
burningrabbit acres Yet, if we change the world within we change the outside world. One reacts with the other.
11 minutes have never flown by so fast. Mind = blown.
Also- the addition of steel guitar to their palette is a match made in heaven. F*cking perfection.
agreed it felt like 4 minuets if that i got lost in the song
yayyyy!!! worth the wait! listen to that guitar! the whole song! the whole TWOD!
Mind =blown too!!!
Right?
I bought their vinyl, so one day I can play this to my kids.
I think everyone who listens to it experiences emotional roller coaster, and imagine about, is he really living the life he deserves? All the memories from the childhood, sweet and sour moments comes in front of my eyes, and emotions are hard to stop, you just leave it to pass and enjoy this very true emotion from this, once in a century, band.
This song is dangerous. As in a good way. It makes you examine where you are in your life and what you are doing. Who and what do you love? How are you finding your way through the dark of a long, black night? “See it through my eyes, love me like no other.” Etc. So many lines that just hit home, hard.
couldn't agree more. you described it perfectly
Perfectly said Robert. 👍
My thoughts exactly .. thank you for sharing :)
Word
I love to hear this on the radio when driving to work. Thanks to all the radio stations which have the balls to play real music for 11 minutes :-)
107.1 The Peak plays this, heard it today driving! Took a little longer to get to where I was going.
Radio 2 the netherlands just played this when i was in my car
Triple R 102.7 community radio Melbourne Australia ;) (full 11:12 mins)
Radio 1 Belgium. I heard in in my truck, driving to Valenciennes. Never will forget these 11 Minutes.
Studio Brussel in Belgium played it too
I can't even explain how much I connect with this song, because I can't describe it in a way that doesn't sound like I'm having a psychotic episode, but thank you so much Adam and TWOD for creating such a beautiful mirror
So 💙 true as if they were following along my journey 🎶 musical masters War on Drugs
I discovered this song around the second half of March 2017, my oldest brother just committed suicide and this song crossed my path. "There was pain in your eyes when you vanished in the night, misery river in the distance". It speaks to me this very day and still don't understand why and what for, but it comforts me that thinking of this place takes me to him. Few weeks back, the band played Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam and I would have never thought they'd close a 2 hour concert with an 11 minute song. Thanks Adam, you gave me some form of closure and am for ever grateful that you've kept me close to him, thinking of a place where we'd meet again.
Missouri river in the distance*
Sterkte Gijs.✌😘
I'm sure your brother was there, Gijs.
this song is an absolute work of art. i'm so glad it's 11 minutes long.
Well it could last little longer
Check out "the national ,"
"About Today ",the Song would bring a tear to a glass eye, It's also called mostly string ,
Me too Sophia.
@@JOCRat-sw8wb check out their live performance of Nobody Else Will Be There on BBC 6 Music... It's beautiful
Best description of it I've heard.
Drowned in the deepest sea of emotions with this song.. worlds can't describe how much I love this healing melody.
So Beautiful this song
My fiancé and I grew up along the Missouri River, and everytime I hear this beautiful song I think of my home, my family, and my love. Its so beautiful it makes me want to cry. Thank you.
this song is a beautiful melody, the progression is perfect, provoke in my different sensation, in art , is perfect
Greetings from my little country Chile, hidden in a corner of this world, my room ........
Agree ; a beautiful melodic progression !
Somos el mejor país de Chile hermano. Tremenda canción!
Acá otro Chileno jejeje
Buena weón! Esta canción entró a mi lista de tops en pandemia, opino lo mismo que tú, la progresión es perfecta, la última parte es la que más me gusta.
This song has been on repeat for me for the last year and half as I moved from my home in Canada to my birthplace Chile. I agree with you Angel, the progression is perfect, it provokes in me a melancholic searching as one might feel in the idea of ˋcoming home.´.
What a masterpiece these guys dropped on us. This song gets better every time I listen to it. Eleven minutes of magic.
Last weeks of my pregnancy I was listening to this song for hours. Now the baby is one week old and falls asleep in a few minutes when we start this great song :-)
I have to believe it's good for his/her little brain
@@jfgaynor music is a true bliss to every brain. Positive effects countless. Please check:)
May he go on to listen to music.
I think it puts everybody to sleep, lady
Me too. When I was pregnant I used to listen Patient then my bb liked to get sleep with that song.
I have never found a better produced 11 minute song that you can listen on repeat. Everything is just in the right place, this is true art.
I bet i could find you one.
Not better. But equal in it's own brilliance.
Even something from different genres.
It's a massive world is music.
It will take more than a lifetime to discover everything.
I imagine you’ve already tried pink floyd. If not, they have some 10-24 minute songs that will blow your mind
Andrew, Well put my friend, However YOU HAVE TO BE IN THIS GIFTED PLACE at the right TIME, so your ABLE TO HEAR THE GIFT YOU'LL RECEIVE WITHIN THIS SONG. That allows you to be captured by this one songs musical spell received. This song gives you, during your first listening. During these very first few seconds of listening, the song has such a subtle yet strong structural spell, that magically locks the listener into a very unusual transfixed state. That most powerful inner beauty, is easily able to capture the trancendenation. To the listener from the songs begaining right up until the songs end. With that same soft subtle way the song first took you in. Now in the songs end it subtly releases you from it's beautiful, yet most powerful grip with such softness.
Take Care all of you around the world, my dear friends.
Take Care and Be Well..🇨🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸🌏✌...

@jackthehatuk....
How true, I'm sure you would be able to do so..I've been fortunate to have been a intricate part of Music for a great while now. The key for me is this. When a Musical Artist or Artists are able to paint something beautiful without, using a brush or canvas as their medium but musical instruments. Which in some way grabs your deepest emotions or memories, sad or happy. Or your own imagination is taken on a beautiful mental ride without physical movement, your captured in those minutes how many that may be. You've been touched in a place that only your welcomed to visit, or with friends in some instances. If you have a such a recomendation of a Musical Artist or Artists. Please my friend send me a reply. Live each day as you have no tomorrow. Before you know it, inner peace strength, and beauty will follow.
Take Care & Be Well..

I am 65 and a whole lot of the people I know my age insist there isn't any good music being made anymore, No , they just don't look hard enough. This is a good as anything they were playing when I was in High School.
I discovered these in my late 50s I'm 63 now and they are right up there as one of the best ever. 😊
that final instrumental jam is pure magic
this is it folks doesn't get much better
The solace, the lead singer’s raw vocal emotions, & most importantly the layered guitars & instrumental work jar emotion in me that I don’t often feel. An absolute masterpiece.
Indeed! Thanks!
there are just too many beautiful things in this universe that are just beautiful with no explanation. they are just simply beautiful. this song is an example of that.
This song is still absolutely pure gold
I just took an 11:12 sentimental journey... "There's a rhythm in the way we've been moving."
Scary times we’re in right now. This song always brings me peace. I hope everyone reading stays safe.
You too, brother.
Yes....Thank You! Safe in Downey currently
We will be safe.
Thank you , you as well 🙏🏻

This track right here pretty much summarizes my way out of depression and into love. I just can't be down or hopeless if I put this on. I don't know how to be down knowing I can just play this song again, and music in general. I feel lucky
this song is simply a tour in Heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All my problems just flew away!
Thanks for that!
why has this piece of art inly so little views
because many are brainwashed into not thinking for themselves
who cares, you found it !the rest of the world are watching the voice....and trusting trump to help the poor.
Lefever Kris so tru 😉 tellement vrai 😉 j adooooore
I love this song soooo much. I play it and close my eyes in a dark room and the places it takes me are so beautiful. Try it.
Sure honey.
Beste nummer sinds wish you were heren!
That's actually what I'm doing now. No joke. ❤️💯🙏🏽
This is one of the best song I've heard in a long time. Brilliant

True. Something divine and soul touching about it.
Love this song ...your comment reminded me
Of another really good song im lookin for a link..
I listened at this song for first the same day my dog died, she was 7 months old and she had a problem for breathing, everytime i listen this song i can't stop think about her and cry so bad... i miss her
This is not a song, this is a feeling and all we’re here in this moment are one single soul 🙏🏽🙏🏽
One of the few 11 minute songs that I can listen to fully.... and replay a million times.
Thanks Miguel.
I feel the exact same way 🤔

You'll love it
This song is so beautiful. It's that feeling where you're so open and receptive to all the experiences in life (bliss and sadness) that you're on the verge of tears.
yes brother, it's a song with a lot of feeling
you're right there, wiping a tear away right now
beautifully put
like the floating bag in "American Beauty"
The production on this is astounding. It takes the expansiveness of the song and let’s it ride but then pulls it back into an intimate room at the right moments. By far my favorite song.
I just recounted a traumatic childhood experience listening to this song and now I don't know how to feel. What in the actual fuck. This is powerful stuff.
You’ve made it this far, kudos dude✌🏼stay safe🤙🏼
when a song is so powerful it pulls out the memories and feelings you’ve been hiding that you forgot about you know it’s powerful.
This song made you feel so safe that your mind felt ready to show you that. I hope you're managing well and working through that stuff, and that you're still finding songs to ease this difficult path
it gives me joy to read these comments of so many people remembering how they listened to this for the first time and experienced losing track of the time. same here. I hadnt expected this coming, it just popped up on youtube sometime late in the evening. I was alone at home, put my headphones on and just danced away in the dark. will never forget.
This song will always be my safe place. Thank you, guys ✨
I’m glad when anyone finds a good and genuine safe haven (as you alluded to in safe place) 👌
That’s just the Tits in anyway you slice it imo
I was in an abusive controlling relationship - leaving him was the worst pain I have ever had in my life. This song got me through it. There’s just something in the lyrics “there’s a darkness over there, we ain’t going” that means so much for me. Perhaps an mantra to never dwell on the too dark things too long, but also I think a message of hope - knowing that leaving him was avoiding that darkness. I love you war on drugs and thank you for everything you have done for my life. I am a better person because of it x
Beautiful, hopeful
❤
…You literally put in words what I have experienced myself recently. Like…same here. This song got me through the deepest darkness I had to face in order to free myself from a sticky spiderweb of emotional addiction and condependency. Thank you for having left your comment here. I am sending you unconditional love and peace, dear soul 🙏
First minute-my ears fell in love, second minute-my soul was lost in the music, then I began crying with wonder, joy, and disbelief. Humans are awesome sometimes arent they?
Nigel Bowen really tru
You're goddamn right, the first time I heard this I was in shock, I had to find this magic song. To me this was pure magic, I fell in love instantly, my colleague and friend said that when you hear this you'll buy the album and when you buy the album you just have to visit a concert. I bought the album, then I bought the album again on lp, bought some more albums. Fell completely in love and at last they were coming to Amsterdam so I immediately bought tickets and it was amazing, what a show words can't explain how much I love this song and this band.
It's true. First time listening this morning. In a good mood, but started crying, thinking of my late dad.
One of the most underrated songs. It's a journey from beginning to end.
This song makes me feel glad to be alive !!
This is the closest I've ever felt to meditating while listening to a song. I don't know what it is about it, but it just sucks you in and allows your mind to relax while it plays. It's magical.
words simply can't describe how much I love this song, I wish it was 20 mins
Emanuel Polanco
The song itself should make the world a better place :)
Same :D
well lets hope in that
play it twice m8
Define better?
This song helped me accept Jesus christ. Everytime I hear it I'm back to that moment I gave up my fight in the world, accepted and confessed his name higher than mine. Be alive in christ and dead to this American dream.
"Thinking Of A Place"
It was back in Little Bend that I saw you
Light was changing on the water
Where birds above had flown
There was pain in your eyes
So you vanished in the night
Missouri River in the distance
So I lied upon the lawn
I remember walking against the darkness of the beach
Love is like a ghost in the distance, ever-reached
Travel through the night 'cause there is no fear
Alone but right behind till I watched you disappear
I'm moving through the dark
Of a long black night
Just moving with the moon
And the light it shines
And I'm thinking of a place
And it feels so very real
Just moving through the dark
Once I had a dream I was falling from the sky
Coming down like running water
Passing by myself alight
In the morning, I would wake to the sound of someone's voice
Like little whispers through the silence
I'm moving through the dark
Of a long black night
And I'm looking at the moon
And the light it shines
But I'm thinking of a place
And it feels so very real
Oh, the suffering of love
Come and take my hand, babe
There's a turn in the road that we've been taking
Let it set you free
Because there's a rhythm in the way that we've been moving
Yeah, there's a darkness over there, but we ain't going
See it through through my eyes
Walk me to the water
Hold my hand as something turns to me
Love me every night
Drown me in the water
Hold my hand as something turning me
See it through my eyes
Love me like no other
And hold my hand as something turns to me
And turns me into you
Lead me through the night
Pull me from the water
Hold my hand as something turns to me
Turns me into you
Just see it through my eyes
Love me like no other
Hold my hand as something turns to me
Turns me into you
Turning me
Into you
Beautiful...I can imagine a place where i could be in peace.
Since everyone seems to be sharing their experience on when they first heard this song, mine was just an hour ago... just got home from a stressful, yet mundane day at school and it immediately gave me the comfort I needed
This song i played for my brother back in 2018. He went through abuse as a kid and took to drink. he dropped dead 4 days later of a heart attack. .. So the song will always mean so much to me....
sorry for your loss brother.
Lo siento mucho...
So sorry for you, for him that i can understand his suffering.....😔🕊💕🌹
@@Sophia-ue4gw thanks x
Im sry sweetie
This song is so damn good
It gives me goosebumps
gives me chickenskin
It gives me a fever all over.. and over again.
Takes you outta depression!
it's such a great song huh... yeah!!! wahoooo!
This song is a serenity. ❤🇳🇵
Last year, Nov 5th 20, I was listening to my Dad's funeral songs on TH-cam (6years funeral date) Van Morrison, then THIS SONG randomly started playing... I had never heard this song or of the band before. I can't tell you how POWERFUL IT WAS AND STILL IS. Every beat, sound, word, lyric through to the story of the song and how its power resonated deep. My heart opened wide and the tears flooding by the end of the first verse! But it felt so freeing and loved. I can't put into words how powerful, spiritually connected and healing an experience it was. It felt like he was so present through the whole song/experience. I felt as if I finally mourned for my Dad's loss. I had only found him 4 years prior after 30 years separation and I was heavily pregnant with my daughter when he passed. So this will ALWAYS be a very special song to me. Still makes my hair stand up...
Also have a thing with numbers, tgis song is 11:11 long, it first played at 23:23 ❤️👌🏻
For a year now, I feel this band have given me so much more than music but a tool to free/connect/heal.
Thank you for the music magic 🙏🏻😊🎶✨❤️
Hearing your story makes me happy. I've had those types of moments with songs and it can trigger those memories for the rest of your life.. You will always have that feeling through this song. That is yours forever. Fucking beautiful
@flipdog74 ❤ I have only just seen your reply. And yes, correctly, I am listening and transcending to that exact moment again. Much love 😊
They decided to go against the current and to me is perfect. A song with more than 11 minutes, on voice appears later than first minute, on calm and silence moments are again in a song, great feeling on voice and melodies. Great Adam.
Peeps, please, recommend me similar wonderful, soothing music. 🙏 🙏 I love The War On Drugs's music a lot.
perhaps you know 'cannons Spells' ?
Anytime my depression takes over I listen to this song, a calmness overwhelms my mind. I believe with The War on Drugs and a few other bands I can overtake it. Thank you for creating wonderful music!
Jesus 💜
I was on my computer, working and listening to music. And my google home played the song randomly. I remember I stopped working and just listened to the whole song. Thank you google home for finding me one of my all time favorite songs lol.
When my wife and I were dating, she came over to my place during this one day and spent the night. I had to work night shift and late that night while she was staying up texting me. I sent her this song. Years later married we were driving back to North Carolina from a trip and we were in Virginia. My play list went to this song. It got quiet in the car. In my peripheral I say her crying sliently.
I'm 25 years old been on my own since I was 17 living on people's couches playing music listening to music and I dream one day I'll be able to write a song as meaningful as this because I love to see people feel music the way I do. With my mental health not being so great and not feeling as whole I hope one day I can be old and know that I did great things in my life and be able live on til I'm sitting on .y front porch in a rocking chair smoking a cigarette drinking coffee and looking back at all the memories that I have with people and know I'm not a bad person I can go on knowing I'm as good as the sound of this band makes
Sean, from the words you've written, I'm positive that you'll achieve your dream. There's no sin in falling down. The sin is in not getting back up.
You'll get there Sean... if this song is your reference, you'll do great things. Write it up, melody it, wall of sound that shit... like everything else in life
What a great song...I am speechless....
Listening to this beautiful song while writing my phd thesis. A lot of work and this song helps. It also helps me to believe in my dreams, that I am already becoming who I want to be. I hope I can come back to this comment in a few years and realize that I accomplished everything I dream about today :) This song gives me hope
How are you doing now? :)
@@NimaRazavi I am doing great, thank u! :)
I first clicked on this song thinking "11 minutes, dang... Ok, I'll give it a shot." Within seconds, I completely lost track of time, like a vivid dream that carries you away, and you wish would never end.
The fret-less electric bass, the pedal steel, the Wurlitzer (or Rhodes, can't tell), the greatest snare drum ever recorded in the history of snare drums, the subtle synth, the crispy dry ride cymbal, the sparkling tremolo, THE BRIDGE! , the archetypal - sad, yet somehow uplifting lyrics that we've come to love from Adam, the startlingly pretty outro lick at the end that is saved just for those who listen the whole 11 minutes......marvelous.
driving to the beach during the night and this starts... fantastic.
and that beautiful harmonica :)
Yes.....exactly what you've said captures it all.
This is porn for my ears, this is the best thing that I have hear in 10 years. Can't describe how good this song is.
Bas Hartman Witch synth is used at the beginning of this song?
Music transcends but doesn't eradicate injustices and ill health , poverty and so much more.
Escapism through music aids anxiety but reality has too be addressed. If only it was that simple. Too many corrupt people .
Music and empathic musicians i love you. ❤
Many people have gone into deep state of meditation via music and come out like a new being.
This is one of the most important songs of my life. I found it when I was sixteen and it’s played during some of the most special moments of my life since then. I’m nineteen now but it still makes me feel the same way I did when i first heard it. It’ll always have a special place in my heart.
A song that can make you feel both sad and happy throughout its entirety is something special. Cannot wait for the new album. The War on drugs, you guys are something very special.
I'm a 19 years old loner. I don't know what to do with my life. Im listening this song thinking of a place where everywhere is comfort,freedom and peace. I had a girlfriend. Spending hours everyday together. Then we broke up and after 2 year I decided to write to her. When we were together she said im perfect and i deserve the best from this world. I just wanted to talk a bit with her. To see how is she, just talk, nothing much . She blocked me. Said nothing. She was a liar. But i loved her. Till this day . I feel just like this song now.
I was driving through construction zone, irritated, pissed off, then this song played on satellite radio. Suddenly everything was OK, none of the hassles mattered, it was all beautiful. How often does a song do that? Moody Blues, Neil Young, pure inspiration and artistic expression, it's all there.
Moody Blues? Thats a new one. Whats a good Moody Blues track to play to hear the influence? I don't hear it one bit. Neil Young sure but not as obvious as Dylan or Paul Simon. Even Jackson Brown.
I heard this song for the first time after my boyfriend past away. Music really heals the heart & soul. Still moving through the dark.. but not alone anymore ✨❤️
The song gradually builds in intensity, enveloping the listener in a sonic journey that mirrors the complexities of the human experience. The heartfelt vocals and poetic imagery create a profound atmosphere, allowing the listener to connect with the profound emotions conveyed. Whether it's the introspective lyrics or the captivating instrumentation, "Thinking of a Place" has the power to touch the soul and leave a lasting impression, reminding us of the beauty and depth that music can bring to our lives.
11 minutes of a true masterpeice each time I listen to it gets better and better
this song is almost painfully beautiful. I almost feel like I experience every emotion listening to it. I feel pure Bliss yet so sad and restrained yet free and grateful yet envious and light yet dark I can't begin to explain how beautiful and amazing this song is I just wish I knew someone in person who appreciates it as much as I do or even just knows about it at all. although it's a great feeling seeing all the comments from people who do appreciate it as much as me with their beautiful stories related to the song.
I do 🙂
This song is so nostalgic for me, and my family for that rather. During the time we were locked in our homes, I would lay outside on my deck in the sun, and listen to this song on repeat. While the world was in chaos, and a country was being divided - I was in peace, in my own world, I was loving, living, and thriving. With each play , in that 11 minutes and 12 seconds - everything was alright.
I must be nuts. I've been working all weekend and have this song on loop. Discovered TWOD by accident a few years ago at Ottawa's City Folk Festival and truly believe that this is not only the best band out there but one of the best songs ever. The depth of their music is unparalleled. Eyes to the Wind was my favourite tune by TWOD until this one! Cannot wait for the album!
Eyes to the Wind is stunning. Very similar tracks.
The irony is, this song is is addictive, like most drugs.
The first time I heard this song I was sitting on my back deck looking out across the paddocks to my horses who were grazing quietly after the rain. Im 55 and it feels like it has taken me a lifetime to find this pure sense of peace and freedom.
This may be the perfect song. The flow and feeling of it brings a lot of emotion to the surface. And don't get me started on the guitar solo, it's from a different time, gorgeous.
Guys, you should try playing it 2 times. It literally lasts twice as long.
Iain McColm i believe you
this guy understood time years ago
Iain McColm; Top of the....Oh forget all that Rubbish..Now your asking yourself.
Did I take the Red pill or the blue..?? Just joking Iain my friend.
However, we all know and understand your concept. What I'm trying to understand is your point, overall in your comment. Be good to yourself and take care..🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇸🎸

No shit
This song found me in the middle of my dark night of the soul, the worst time of my life and yet the most promising and meaningful. Thank you so much for giving us this masterpiece.
