This is true. My dad said about this band to me in March and recently I decided to take a gander at their music. All I have to say is this band rocks and it's refreshing to not here mumble rappers. We need Classic Rock to come back and take its throne.
Im 16, also from poland, I was inspired first by AC/DC then black sabbath, then led zeppelin and finally greta van fleet. I make music with my friends, trying to maybe one day get it to the level of all that have come before. Long live rock'n'roll 🤘✌️☮️
Lyrics* In an age of darkness light appears And it wards away the ancient fears March to the anthem of the heart To a brand new day, a brand new start To wonderlands of ice and snow In the desert heat where nothing grows A tree of life in rain and sun To reach the sky it’s just begun And as we came into the clear To find ourselves where we are here Who is the wiser to help us steer And will we know when the end is near? Beauty lives in every soul The more you love the more you know They pass the torch and it still burns Once children then it’s now our turn And as we came into the clear To find ourselves where we are here Who is the wiser to help us steer And will we know when the end is near? And as we came into the clear To find ourselves where we are here Who is the wiser to help us steer And will we know when the end is near?
This song just took me on a spiritual journey. My soul is cleansed and my depression is cured. This is a song that I will be listening to for years and years to come.
@@mama.Bear.fitness I think you’re a little confused a song can’t cure someone’s depression or cleanse their soul music triggers chemicals in your brain like dopamine that’s why some people get sad listening to songs happy angry fearful or even feel like they can take on the world it triggers an emotion in fact their song light my love reminded me of my father while he was right next to me and I decided I was going to play it at his funeral it stuck and fit right but it is simply triggering an emotion in your brain it’s not solving your problems only Jesus can do that sister! Much love from a fellow GVF enthusiast!
Greta Van Fleet is just blowing my mind. I’m in love with the classics, but I really never thought this sound would be coming back. I’m so glad that it is though.
Dylan Mayes Greta Van Fleet’s great but it’s not like there the first band to do this. I mean Jack White, The Sheepdogs, Kings Of Leon, Rival Sons, and Wolfmother, were all in the 2000’s. Now, we have this, The Beaches, Thunderpussy, Airbourne, The Struts, Lance Lipinsky, Philip Sayce, Gary Clark Jr, Leon Bridges, Jade Bird, Calpurina. Rock music will never die
Hopefully gonna be the same with me in a few months cruising down the road in a busted to hell Monte Carlo ss with a door bungee corded shut and Greta playing through my phone because the radio was stolen out of it, wearing a respirator and a gigantic smile as I drive my dream car home
I only discovered this band a couple of hours ago, and I cant stop listening to them, they are so good its bringing me to tears. This song is just beautiful. Best band for a looong time IMO.
Heard of them before and didn’t believe the hype but now 35 seconds in I have to say I’m probably going to be on this the rest of the day. This sounds amazing
This band sure knows how to name their songs, don’t they? Age of Man. Fate of the Faithful. Mountain of the Sun. Frozen Light. The Weight of Dreams. Sacred the Thread. … they all sound like the names of poems and they sure are poets.
To be fair, with a name like Greta Van Fleet, Their name almost sounds like Grand Fleet. Shit. Imagine if Areosmith, Led Zepplin, Foo Fighters, and these guys did a concert tour called "The Air Show"
I think what the critics are missing about these guys are that 1) they actually have great new hooks that are based on the classics and 2) while sounding a lot like Zeppelin they have this optimistic and wholesome attitude that is more like Rush - and like this song, sometimes they sound a lot like Rush too. Honestly, I'm enjoying the lack of cynicism in their music and every song has a fresh slant to it of some kind. Also, they're incredibly young and have a lot of time to grow. I love it!
I'm with you on a touch of Rush coming out. These guys get a bit of yodeling in, which coupled with the other classic sounds really feels like a new sound in itself. Give them some time; I know there was an early period when Rush themselves sounded a lot like led Zeppelin. The positivity of Greta Van Fleet reminds me of Triumph. I'd like to see them!

these kids deserve all our support. they are today's best of classic rock. How many of us thought this sound would ever come back other than fucking cover bands? these kids are writing their own music, they brought back the music we all loved so much and wished would come back. THEY answered our wishes. Yes he might sound like Robert Plant (not his fault, its his voice) , but they have their own feel to it. These kids CANNOT disappear, today's generation NEEDS this band. Like the 70s needed Led Zepplin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and so many bands, and the 80s needed GNR, Aerosmith (Yes I know they're technically a 70s band but they were huge influence on the 80s), Metallica, and their great bands, and the 90s needed Nirvana, Korn, Deftones, Tool, Sound Garden, and many of thier bands. This generation needs to feel the power of GOOD rock and roll. They need to feel the emotion and power of REAL music, not mumbling idiots with laptops. This sound, this music, it changed the world. Literally. It was used as a political platform. Praise these kids, bless them, and hope they go on for generations to hear like our favourites.

I saw them in July. I can't recall having seen a tighter, more solid, talented drummer with so much endurance as Danny Wagner. His playing, his performance gave me the chills and left me with my jaw dropped to the pavement. He is astounding.
If I'm going to be completely honest the drummer is really lacking. He doesn't do much more then the same 2 or 3 fills and what he does is very elementary don't get me wrong though I love them.
It's not about the dynamics, my comment was about the precision and timings he achieved during this recording session. If you listen closely the difference between the early LPs and this album is huge.
Grey/Sasha I agree with what you're saying. All I'm stating is that this band won't be known for the drummer they have currently. None of the work he has done has been all that complex.
This track is like a breath of fresh air! I have recently received both 2 copies of the new 2018 CD album plus 2 copies of From The Fires 2017 EP for a total of 18 magnificent recorded tracks. I'm 66 years old and still enjoying rock music like this. I was actually a fan of Led Zeppelin in January 1969 after hearing "How Many More Times?" on the radio which was the month after I purchased The Beatles "White Album" in December 1968. GVF invokes those old times for me as well as pointing to a bright new future. Thank you Greta Van Fleet for bringing joy with your musical talents.
Greta Van Fleet is great but people also need to know there are other newish bands out there also making classic rock sounding music. Check out Ben Cote Band, TEMPT and Joyous Wolf.
Thank god there still are people and amazing artists/bands like these guys, who keep playing great music like this. There should just be more options to choose from other than bad Pop or Rap music, but sadly this is todays generation
Greta VanFleet is OUTSTANDING I AM A 58 yr old veteran of over 500 concerts!! I am an authority’ in ROCK&ROLL. Who gives a crap if they have a Zepplinish tone?!!! I saw Zepplin 3 times, they’re a Titan! But, there’s plenty of room for GVF!! Rock on boy’s!!! (And I’m a Buckeye and they’re michyganders too!) 😂😂
A masterpiece, one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, and I'm almost 50 years old, never thought this good music could be made again, and then Greta Van Fleet came along!
I thought the people that could make such song are either long gone or in their 70s. Proper rock&roll band! Its obvious that the singer was influenced by Robert Plant, and I dont mean his voice but the way he moves his hands in some live performances. Which is cool because I love Plant and LZ. That voice though is super rare nowadays. And, of course, every band was influenced by someone from or before their time. But when, for example, Jimmy Page or David Gilmour talk about their infliences I just dont know any (or most) of the people they talk about. Cant stop listening to GVF and I just recently discovered them from a Robert Plant interview.
Turned my roommate on to gvf,he'65 , and he loved it. Then played him some old rush.the similarities are incredible. They have a sound that is unique.sounds like this and that,can't really put your finger on it. The mark of tallent.maybe they have found the pick of destiny!
@Mark M. it’s alright if you’re not a Rush fan but you really don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about if you don’t believe Rush is one of the best bands of all time.
That final chorus right at the end gets me every single time. I've likely listened to this song over 500 times, and every time I literally get chills. I can't tell if it's just Sammy's keys sounding like an opera or a literal opera behind them but god damn. It is stunningly beautiful to listen to.
To veryone who complains about GVF sounding like Led Zep, you are the reason rock is dying. You don’t give new bands a chance and then complain about modern music.
Greg Rohs really I’m a kid I’m generation Z I want a Beatles or zeppelin of my era I don’t want electronic music to define my era And this singer has incredible talent he just need to find his voice
@@eclectic2327 by the time Robert Plant was the brothers age LZ was writing led zeppelin IV and the Beatles were finishing rubber soul. Those bands grew sonically from trying to. The "oh they are young" thing doesnt hold water as all the great bands had written their most ground breaking songs. You arent gonna push new ground trying to copy someone else endlessly.
@@eclectic2327 you mean rising sons, black mountain, mastodon and myriad of other bands that are considered the underground scene? We are supposed to praise lack of originality? Sad thing is their one song has been sold for use in tons of really bad commercials right out the gate. It took LZ decades to allow for their music to even be used in films. Nothing says "rock and roll" like writing tv jingles. Before you say "oh well thats part of the industry". Its not a band has to decide on their own to allow the use of their music for commercial purposes. I guess when you rip off your sound you dont have any emotional attachment to the music.

I see some Yes in the lyrics..who else? Love them really epic, though the thing I am more impressed about and love the most is the musicianship and the Music they make they are really connected!
I know most people are joking about them "copying" Zeppelin. But honestly by you saying they are copying them is almost the best compliment because obviously their music is original. So you are saying "hey you have amazing music and a great voice".
If they cracked the zeppelin code on dozens of songs when in the last 50 years good on them. Hopefully Someone will pickup where sabbath maiden and priest leave off too
If I think that this song only has 7.7 million views I realize that we are still a small group that manages to appreciate good, true music. Few but good! ^^
If the rest of society pays it's dues and does its homework, this will be remember as one of the greatest rock songs ever recorded. Up there with Freebird, Simple Man, Stairway to Heaven, Down in a Hole, and Comfortably Numb.
This band is flat out amazing. I don’t give crap about zeppelin or rush or the 1970s. These guys have it man and instead debating and bickering I’m going to jam this shit. This band makes me love new rock again that’s good enough for me. God bless
This isn't new rock. New rock sucks. This is a classic example of a revival of the best psychedelic soul rock sound. Unbelievabley greatness. These guys will be known for decades to come. I hope they inspire more bands to revive this style and others from the golden age of rock and soul.
This band is so awesome! Love the vocals and the rest of the band just rocks! Best music I've 🎶 heard in 20 years!❤I'm 58 and am rocking again thanks to these talented young men!
Me too! I took my 11yo daughter to see them play with Metallica in Vegas last weekend. We both had the time of our lives. They sound absolutely perfect live! This is my favorite song of theirs but they're all fantastic. Easily best band in 20 years. Just found out that Danny's mom went to my high school in Michigan. Wish I could see them on the 16th in my birthplace, Flint. But alas I live in California now.
Man, this band has grown on me..old time rocker here, and change is hard for me. I made a comment in another post about sounding like zeppelin but I was wrong...I sincerely apologize to gvf, after a good listening I like your music....make us proud young men..
@@rachelwillbanks85 Welcome to the Peaceful Army sister! We are all about Peace Love and Unity. Greta Van Fleet brings us together and makes us all family. 😊
I know this is silly, but your music made me feel something I cant explain. It opened up something in me that wants to stop being a good for nothing and strive for greatness. Thank you.
Age of Man and Brave New World are absolutely masterpieces!!! I can’t get over the beauty of not only instruments, but those amazing lyrics! Thank you Greta Van Fleet, this album is mind blowing.
Guys don't listen to the haters, you are not the same thing from the older days of rock, you could be a new energy on the seen. These rock "evolutionists" are the reason radios don't play rock anymore, are the reason people aren't search for or creating absolutely beautiful rock like this. The "evolutionists" will kill rock like they did in the 90s. Please stay alive, gvf.
Discovered this song while travelling with one of my best friends, driving through majestic spanish mountains heading a climbing valley. Weekend was awsome and still, best of it was listening this master piece.
This was incredible today, with the march, just you and nature, the music connecting everything, body, soul, earth. Just peace, listening while you feel the nature and nothing else. Just peace.
I discovered them a few months ago and am saving up for tickets. They are my absolute favorite band. I don't fanboy but for these guys ... Their music scratches my brains itch. The beauty, power, and meaningfulness in their songs almost makes me cry. They are the greatest band of the last 10 years easily. And they rival the greats from decades previous
I am a listener of older rock, and I have to admit, these guys got it. I love their sound, it reminds me a lot of older rock bands from decades past. I hope bands like this continue to keep this sort music alive for decades to come.
It is a sin to say that this is a copy, josh is one of the best voices I've heard. You who say that they copy, create your bands and try to copy these guys!.
Fantastic. This music brings me joy, perseverance, and a guiding hand throughout my sobriety. I am so glad to have encountered the beauty that is this band!
This album may very well be what finally brings me out of horrific emotional suffering. I've been dealt a shitty hand these past few years. Thanks for saving my soul.
I heard that. I've been experiencing the very same, I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone. And listening to this significantly helps. Cheers, to better days. *clink!
This particular song reminds me of Yes, vocally and musically, if anything. and yet it's unique. I think the reason people spend so much time comparing GVF to other bands is that they haven't heard anything like this in too long. This is a great band, and anyone lost in pegging them as a Zeppelin clone hasn't heard all their songs and has also lost sight 'beauty where we find it'. Any band that comes out is always compared to what came before, so if anything it's a compliment. GVF now join the ranks and the only thing left is the test of longevity.
I do think they sound alot like zeppelin, but I mean that as a compliment. It's refreshing to hear music like this again here in 2019. I wish more would be rock acts of today would put more heart and soul into there music.
@@melindaharbison8355 OK 1 year later: As fun as these guys were at first, I lost steam when 1) they screwed up so bad on Saturday Night live (seemingly unable to hit his singing mark) and 2) They seem to embrace the fact that their singer tends to dress like a cross between RuPaul and bad lampshade, and follow in suit halfway, for whatever reason.... I would be interested to see what their latest sounds like if they have put out a new album, but if one is going to play rock, the should actually look like rock and not a flaming clothes store. To each their own, but that sure as hell is not mine.... Thats all I'm saying
I want to cry for how happy I am that my generation is saved. Like this music that you guys are creating is so God damn amazing I literally cant comprehend it.
In my 30s and grew up listening from 50s to today and this music is a relief to mumble rap and eurotrash beats and artists that have teams writing no talent lyrics. This music moves...your soul.
What makes this great song unique is not only the singing , melody, it's the use of the mellotron too , it gives the song a nostalgic feeling, Sam killing it on the mellotron ..love it!!!
Recently saw the band in Hamburg and am seeing them again tonight in Manchester. They are great live and have renewed my interest in music - so much better than most modern crap. This is real. By the way I’m 65 years old and have caught the gig bug again. Thanks guys: Free, Yes, Queen, Led Zep, Gene Krupa, - I can hear all of these in your music and the style you are developing is truly great. Looking forward to the fourth album and more gigs.
The heart of rock is still beating
in Frankenmuth
(wait... you WERE singing Huey Lewis & the News, right? LOL)
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
electric shall rise against electronic
🎶Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock n roll, heart of rock n roll is still beating🎶
And thank God for that
Humanity is in desperate need of more music like this
This is true. My dad said about this band to me in March and recently I decided to take a gander at their music. All I have to say is this band rocks and it's refreshing to not here mumble rappers. We need Classic Rock to come back and take its throne.

Lyrics*
In an age of darkness light appears
And it wards away the ancient fears
March to the anthem of the heart
To a brand new day, a brand new start
To wonderlands of ice and snow
In the desert heat where nothing grows
A tree of life in rain and sun
To reach the sky it’s just begun
And as we came into the clear
To find ourselves where we are here
Who is the wiser to help us steer
And will we know when the end is near?
Beauty lives in every soul
The more you love the more you know
They pass the torch and it still burns
Once children then it’s now our turn
And as we came into the clear
To find ourselves where we are here
Who is the wiser to help us steer
And will we know when the end is near?
And as we came into the clear
To find ourselves where we are here
Who is the wiser to help us steer

and then get to the lyrics! Poets indeed! But in fairness this band is a love letter to rock and roll, which has always had deep lyrics and meanings.
If I sang like this I too would go the zeppelin route. It's a no brainer. This kid has a legend's voice and has put it to excellent use.
To be fair, with a name like Greta Van Fleet, Their name almost sounds like Grand Fleet.
Shit.
Imagine if Areosmith, Led Zepplin, Foo Fighters, and these guys did a concert tour called "The Air Show"
Bloody hell, almost lost all hope in music, but this band brought me back. Really good music, damn good.
My God, the singers voice moves me emotionally. I am so happy to be alive at this point in time.
I think what the critics are missing about these guys are that 1) they actually have great new hooks that are based on the classics and 2) while sounding a lot like Zeppelin they have this optimistic and wholesome attitude that is more like Rush - and like this song, sometimes they sound a lot like Rush too. Honestly, I'm enjoying the lack of cynicism in their music and every song has a fresh slant to it of some kind. Also, they're incredibly young and have a lot of time to grow. I love it!
I so agree!
Yes yes .... I can feel the wind of the future under my feet like Nike lifting my sandals on wings ... not winds of of fate but wings of spirit.
Agreed! Became a fan today. From now on October 21st shall for me be known as day of the Great Greta!
Fuck the critics, these guys rock. Plain and simple.

If I'm going to be completely honest the drummer is really lacking. He doesn't do much more then the same 2 or 3 fills and what he does is very elementary don't get me wrong though I love them.
It's not about the dynamics, my comment was about the precision and timings he achieved during this recording session.
If you listen closely the difference between the early LPs and this album is huge.
Grey/Sasha I agree with what you're saying. All I'm stating is that this band won't be known for the drummer they have currently. None of the work he has done has been all that complex.
Already told my kids which songs to play during my Viking funeral. These guys told ch my soul every time I listen.
This track is like a breath of fresh air! I have recently received both 2 copies of the new 2018 CD album plus 2 copies of From The Fires 2017 EP for a total of 18 magnificent recorded tracks. I'm 66 years old and still enjoying rock music like this. I was actually a fan of Led Zeppelin in January 1969 after hearing "How Many More Times?" on the radio which was the month after I purchased The Beatles "White Album" in December 1968. GVF invokes those old times for me as well as pointing to a bright new future. Thank you Greta Van Fleet for bringing joy with your musical talents.
Brian Bingham heres to you old man
Check Rival Sons out, you'll love them!!
I to sir am in the getting better not older bracket 50 and i just love this song and all things Greta Van Fleet. Rock is in good hands..
Greta Van Fleet is great but people also need to know there are other newish bands out there also making classic rock sounding music. Check out Ben Cote Band, TEMPT and Joyous Wolf.
I agree Rival Sons are great, I had a friend tell me to check them out
Thank you, Greta Van Fleet you have truly made me excited to see what the future holds.
By showing you the past?
Yes... because everything comes around again.
A new age past i believe is what she means. Making good music again. This world needed it major.
Uncle Remus will you stop trying to make people like what you do, and go listen to what you like
Thank god there still are people and amazing artists/bands like these guys, who keep playing great music like this. There should just be more options to choose from other than bad Pop or Rap music, but sadly this is todays generation
Greta VanFleet is OUTSTANDING
I AM A 58 yr old veteran of over 500 concerts!! I am an authority’ in ROCK&ROLL. Who gives a crap if they have a Zepplinish tone?!!!
I saw Zepplin 3 times, they’re a Titan! But, there’s plenty of room for GVF!! Rock on boy’s!!! (And I’m a Buckeye and they’re michyganders too!) 😂😂
I am almost 64 & I am in love with this group’s music!
A masterpiece, one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, and I'm almost 50 years old, never thought this good music could be made again, and then Greta Van Fleet came along!
xd
Totally agree with you.
+1
Im turning 50 soon myself and you are right, these guys seem to get it, unlike most of the crap bands nowadays.
I thought the people that could make such song are either long gone or in their 70s. Proper rock&roll band! Its obvious that the singer was influenced by Robert Plant, and I dont mean his voice but the way he moves his hands in some live performances. Which is cool because I love Plant and LZ. That voice though is super rare nowadays. And, of course, every band was influenced by someone from or before their time. But when, for example, Jimmy Page or David Gilmour talk about their infliences I just dont know any (or most) of the people they talk about. Cant stop listening to GVF and I just recently discovered them from a Robert Plant interview.
Rock lives again, can’t believe I missed this band,thank god I found them
If you boys stay the course, you are legends in the making. Stay the course.
2 years in your post is aging well
@@JankielBlusztejn I agree, it just keeps getting better, I've been listening to Heat Above and Age of Machines on REPEAT, absolute masterpieces.
Fucking rights!👊💯
I rarely comment but.. this is such a beautiful song. I'm thankful for this band, really.
Everyone says that Josh sounds exclusively like Robert Plant but I hear a hint of Geddy Lee in his voice too
What a great voice over all.
Turned my roommate on to gvf,he'65 , and he loved it. Then played him some old rush.the similarities are incredible. They have a sound that is unique.sounds like this and that,can't really put your finger on it. The mark of tallent.maybe they have found the pick of destiny!
i was thinking the same thing! this song gives off major rush vibes, i love it
@Mark M. it’s alright if you’re not a Rush fan but you really don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about if you don’t believe Rush is one of the best bands of all time.
@@loganhess1389 they’re good but they definitely aren’t up there with the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd or the Beatles
That final chorus right at the end gets me every single time. I've likely listened to this song over 500 times, and every time I literally get chills. I can't tell if it's just Sammy's keys sounding like an opera or a literal opera behind them but god damn. It is stunningly beautiful to listen to.
To veryone who complains about GVF sounding like Led Zep, you are the reason rock is dying. You don’t give new bands a chance and then complain about modern music.
Rock isnt supposed to be repetitive. Its supposed to be an evolution. These guys arent reviving rock they are turning it into a zombie.
Greg Rohs really I’m a kid I’m generation Z I want a Beatles or zeppelin of my era I don’t want electronic music to define my era And this singer has incredible talent he just need to find his voice
@@eclectic2327 by the time Robert Plant was the brothers age LZ was writing led zeppelin IV and the Beatles were finishing rubber soul.
Those bands grew sonically from trying to. The "oh they are young" thing doesnt hold water as all the great bands had written their most ground breaking songs.
You arent gonna push new ground trying to copy someone else endlessly.
Greg Rohs you’ve seen what rock has evolved into? You really want that?
@@eclectic2327 you mean rising sons, black mountain, mastodon and myriad of other bands that are considered the underground scene?
We are supposed to praise lack of originality? Sad thing is their one song has been sold for use in tons of really bad commercials right out the gate. It took LZ decades to allow for their music to even be used in films.
Nothing says "rock and roll" like writing tv jingles. Before you say "oh well thats part of the industry".
Its not a band has to decide on their own to allow the use of their music for commercial purposes. I guess when you rip off your sound you dont have any emotional attachment to the music.
This is a legendary piece already!! How can it be this beautiful?
In an age of darkness light appears
And it wards away the ancient fears
March to the anthem of the heart
To a brand new day, a brand new start
To wonder lands of ice and snow
In the desert heat where nothing grows
A tree of life in rain and sun
To reach the sky it's just begun
And as we came into the clear
To find ourselves where we are here
Who is the wiser to help us steer
And will we know when the end is near
Beauty lives in every soul
The more you love the more you know
They pass the torch and it still burns
Once children then it's now our turn
And as we came into the clear
To find ourselves where we are here
Who is the wiser to help us steer
And will we know when the end is near
And as we came into the clear
To find ourselves where we are here
Who is the wiser to help us steer
And will we know when the end is near

I see some Yes in the lyrics..who else? Love them really epic, though the thing I am more impressed about and love the most is the musicianship and the Music they make they are really connected!
Serge Blake Show Thanks, can’t hear lyrics.
"To wonder lands of ice and snow
In the desert heat where nothing grows"
Led Zep refrence?
Liam Blylod absolutely. paying homage to their greatest influence and one of the best bands in history!
@@liamblylod5954 explain that please.😣..
I know most people are joking about them "copying" Zeppelin. But honestly by you saying they are copying them is almost the best compliment because obviously their music is original. So you are saying "hey you have amazing music and a great voice".
If they cracked the zeppelin code on dozens of songs when in the last 50 years good on them. Hopefully Someone will pickup where sabbath maiden and priest leave off too
If I think that this song only has 7.7 million views I realize that we are still a small group that manages to appreciate good, true music. Few but good! ^^
I like it that way! I don't want them to become too popular. We are the Peaceful Army & this music is ours..♥️🎶🎸🌠
Man, what a great song! These guys are so talented!
What a rush! This song is a rare dose of ecstasy, you can feel it as much as you hear it! Top quality.
This song sounds like I’m playing it on vinyl! How awesome. Love GVF, keep up the awesome rock guys, please.
If the rest of society pays it's dues and does its homework, this will be remember as one of the greatest rock songs ever recorded. Up there with Freebird, Simple Man, Stairway to Heaven, Down in a Hole, and Comfortably Numb.
As a long time Zeppelin fan I say carry on boys. Haters gonna hate. I love your stuff!!
This is pure art. Everything about it. Rarely does a band hit it home like this, and they do it again and again. Rock is alive and well l
The best band I have heard in nearly 30 years.
Great Greta V Fleet. Iam 62 years old and i admire these guys.
I saw these guys live, and I can say they were one of my top 5 live performances. Incredible band. Much love. Peace ✌🏽
YES! they are freaking AWESOME!!
That feeling when you can put songs into best of your lifetime playlist. Every. Frickin. One.
70's rock reincarnated.
Never taking my headphones off!
This band is flat out amazing. I don’t give crap about zeppelin or rush or the 1970s. These guys have it man and instead debating and bickering I’m going to jam this shit. This band makes me love new rock again that’s good enough for me. God bless
This isn't new rock. New rock sucks. This is a classic example of a revival of the best psychedelic soul rock sound. Unbelievabley greatness. These guys will be known for decades to come. I hope they inspire more bands to revive this style and others from the golden age of rock and soul.
@@christopherjustice3132 100% Good call - let's hope you are right music - needs this tremendous boost.
Hell ya gvf is the new gods of rock
Agree,💜GVF💜
@@christopherjustice3132 They've really inspired me
This band is so awesome! Love the vocals and the rest of the band just rocks! Best music I've 🎶 heard in 20 years!❤I'm 58 and am rocking again thanks to these talented young men!
Me too! I took my 11yo daughter to see them play with Metallica in Vegas last weekend. We both had the time of our lives. They sound absolutely perfect live! This is my favorite song of theirs but they're all fantastic. Easily best band in 20 years. Just found out that Danny's mom went to my high school in Michigan. Wish I could see them on the 16th in my birthplace, Flint. But alas I live in California now.
Already one of the greatest ever.... these Lads are a phenomenon
Man, this band has grown on me..old time rocker here, and change is hard for me. I made a comment in another post about sounding like zeppelin but I was wrong...I sincerely apologize to gvf, after a good listening I like your music....make us proud young men..
Thank you You are among friends
Haters gonna... apologize?
WHAT'S THE WORLD COMING TO????
I am 68 years old and GVF is a GREAT discovery, a diamond. Bought the 2 CD's today. Materpiece . Thanx guys keep on give us so many pearl songs
who's still here 5 years later
I only discovered them a few hours ago and can’t get enough of them!
🎉meeee (9/28/2024) Embrace the day peoples!!
Sadly i found this great Band 4 weeks ago ,mindblowing and out of this World ☮️✌️
Me . Favorite band.
@@rachelwillbanks85 Welcome to the Peaceful Army sister! We are all about Peace Love and Unity. Greta Van Fleet brings us together and makes us all family. 😊
Now this is how you start an album!
totally agree.........not an opener IMO.
I know this is silly, but your music made me feel something I cant explain. It opened up something in me that wants to stop being a good for nothing and strive for greatness. Thank you.
Age of Man and Brave New World are absolutely masterpieces!!! I can’t get over the beauty of not only instruments, but those amazing lyrics! Thank you Greta Van Fleet, this album is mind blowing.
These guys are taking the world by storm, I hope they can handle everything success brings....just keep rocking GVF...
Their music awakens something in my soul I didn't even know needed to be awaken
Led Zeppelin + Rush + Yes = Age of man ...Sounds good!!!
Agreed! Check out the new song by Rival Sons, 'Back in the woods'. Freakin awesome too!
Maybe a little Triumph?
@@johnnyjohnson157 i can relate to that man, yes triumph one of the best 3 piece bands ever behind rush of course imho ;)
i honestly feel dio as well ronnie man i feel it.
Maybe DIO todo!
Genius! Rush, Yes, Led Zep, AC/DC had an orgie and Greta was born! Reverence to a new idol
Guys don't listen to the haters, you are not the same thing from the older days of rock, you could be a new energy on the seen. These rock "evolutionists" are the reason radios don't play rock anymore, are the reason people aren't search for or creating absolutely beautiful rock like this. The "evolutionists" will kill rock like they did in the 90s. Please stay alive, gvf.
Your compositions make me believe that music is not dead yet in the 21st century. Love.
Wow. These young pups have old souls. ☺ Great tune. Love it!!
Discovered this song while travelling with one of my best friends, driving through majestic spanish mountains heading a climbing valley. Weekend was awsome and still, best of it was listening this master piece.
These guys will remembered as the band that brought back rock and roll.
Rock on GVF.
sleepism um no
No they are the equivalent of move remakes in hollywood
They are a sign of the low point in rock. Its not an evolution its a repetition.
It never left, it just died down. Check out my real rock n roll playlist
@@gregrohs6688 gvf puts their own spice in it tho
This was incredible today, with the march, just you and nature, the music connecting everything, body, soul, earth. Just peace, listening while you feel the nature and nothing else. Just peace.
I saw these fellas live with my fiance and it was the most incredible experience. they are amazing.
This music has real emotion.
Hell yea!
I just discovered this band today and i'm listening them over and over again and again. Awesome band 👏👏🤘🤘
I discovered them a few months ago and am saving up for tickets. They are my absolute favorite band. I don't fanboy but for these guys ... Their music scratches my brains itch. The beauty, power, and meaningfulness in their songs almost makes me cry. They are the greatest band of the last 10 years easily. And they rival the greats from decades previous
I am a listener of older rock, and I have to admit, these guys got it. I love their sound, it reminds me a lot of older rock bands from decades past. I hope bands like this continue to keep this sort music alive for decades to come.
I love the positive vibe you guys bring to your music. Very classic rock feel to it... keep rock alive!
It is a sin to say that this is a copy, josh is one of the best voices I've heard. You who say that they copy, create your bands and try to copy these guys!.
listening to this song live felt like a hug, I will never forget it
Fantastic. This music brings me joy, perseverance, and a guiding hand throughout my sobriety. I am so glad to have encountered the beauty that is this band!
❤
Thanks Pitchfork! You helped me find my new favorite band.
Lol is this cuz of their horrible reviews lol they hate everything that ain’t metal strictly
Lol
Oh my god. Sure I've replied to this before but it's so good. Peace, love and rock
Lyrically, instrumentally this song is top tier
This album may very well be what finally brings me out of horrific emotional suffering. I've been dealt a shitty hand these past few years. Thanks for saving my soul.
I heard that. I've been experiencing the very same, I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone. And listening to this significantly helps. Cheers, to better days. *clink!
@@toshatarter4030 Namaste, my friend. We'll keep our chins up!!!!
It's the best thing I've heard this past year by far 🌞
Absolutely cannot stop listening to this tune. Thank you God, for Greta Van Fleet
same been listening to this most of the day
🙏
Same. They are awesome!!!
This is actually a beautiful song! I love these guys! Josh’s voice is incredible!
This particular song reminds me of Yes, vocally and musically, if anything. and yet it's unique. I think the reason people spend so much time comparing GVF to other bands is that they haven't heard anything like this in too long. This is a great band, and anyone lost in pegging them as a Zeppelin clone hasn't heard all their songs and has also lost sight 'beauty where we find it'. Any band that comes out is always compared to what came before, so if anything it's a compliment. GVF now join the ranks and the only thing left is the test of longevity.
I do think they sound alot like zeppelin, but I mean that as a compliment. It's refreshing to hear music like this again here in 2019. I wish more would be rock acts of today would put more heart and soul into there music.
Yes. Totally.
It sounded like a slow yes song.
@@melindaharbison8355 OK 1 year later: As fun as these guys were at first, I lost steam when 1) they screwed up so bad on Saturday Night live (seemingly unable to hit his singing mark) and 2) They seem to embrace the fact that their singer tends to dress like a cross between RuPaul and bad lampshade, and follow in suit halfway, for whatever reason.... I would be interested to see what their latest sounds like if they have put out a new album, but if one is going to play rock, the should actually look like rock and not a flaming clothes store. To each their own, but that sure as hell is not mine.... Thats all I'm saying
I want to cry for how happy I am that my generation is saved. Like this music that you guys are creating is so God damn amazing I literally cant comprehend it.
Soul vibrations, just raising the vibration of the universe.
Im not even 20 and before greta van fleet was a band I was wishing for this music at my generation
I feel you ! ❤️
In my 30s and grew up listening from 50s to today and this music is a relief to mumble rap and eurotrash beats and artists that have teams writing no talent lyrics. This music moves...your soul.
I WAS BORN IN LE WRONG GENERATION HURRR DURRR
What makes this great song unique is not only the singing , melody, it's the use of the mellotron too , it gives the song a nostalgic feeling, Sam killing it on the mellotron ..love it!!!
Love their music and style! Our daughters are headed to DC to see them tonight! Good rock, GVF!!!
Rock on ❤
this is my favourite one from the album 😍
So beautiful. So happy I tried listening to them, they are so good ❇
Their songs are awesome, the sound, instruments and vocals are just phenomenal.
I'm in such a dark time in my life right now.....thank u for helping me get thru alot ❤
Wish you love and bliss
More Greta Van Fleet will help ❤
Recently saw the band in Hamburg and am seeing them again tonight in Manchester. They are great live and have renewed my interest in music - so much better than most modern crap. This is real. By the way I’m 65 years old and have caught the gig bug again. Thanks guys: Free, Yes, Queen, Led Zep, Gene Krupa, - I can hear all of these in your music and the style you are developing is truly great. Looking forward to the fourth album and more gigs.
I was there at the Manchester gig! 😊❤
Can’t stop listening “ age of man ” everyday
AngelPlayStar listened to this song about 20-times on a flight from Rome to Los Angeles, about 12-hours. Saved my sanity!!
It’s josh’s and sam’s favorite on the album
This song hits you on a different level, the soft background voice edging with his high pitch vocal is crazy!!
This song is so beautiful! Can't stop listening to it😍
This is great art. Nothing less.
What a phenomenal voice and an exceptional band!
Thank you for releasing your
New album on utube;
Rock n roll Gold for my old soul.
Disgusting.
my dream was fulfilled ... a 70's vibe band in the 21st century ... I'm so happy !! you and the struts deserve to be HUGE !!
