You know they're a huge band when their music sounds even better in live than studio version , then you just always wanna listen to the live audio ❤❤❤🐲
The energy that they spill out of their performances is just amazing. They're one of the few bands that justify their songs live and I'm so lucky I got to see them and this song live ❤️
I love that he was trying to save his voice for later songs but after the first chorus he just went "fuck it this song deserves it" and tore his vocal chords apart just to give us the best performance ever
@@youraveragemusician3914totally late to this but the instrumental is very hard rock, maybe not in the verses but the chorus and the break down is hard rock.
I'm So Sorry to inform you that we can't do that because Imagine Dragons are stuck On Top of the World in Radioactive Amsterdam with some Fallen Worriers. But we can reimburse you with this bar of Gold, but only if your a Tiptoeing Working Man.
The way you guys sound live is so magnificent it's glorious. some people sound AWFUL when they are live so it ruins the fun of concerts. Thats why you guys are so awesome!
I can tell you 100% it will be the best you will ever go to they basically did the whole smoke and mirrors album and 3 songs from night visions! Plus roots
Yes at the Philippines they sang Hear Me, Amsterdam and...HOLY CRAP I FORGOT THE OTHER SONG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO anyway they didn't sing roots at our concert because it wasnt released yet XD
This is like the one Imagine Dragons song that I see as rock. It gives that kind of energy. If only the studio version wasn't so heavy on the synth elements.
Черт! Почему я раньше это не слышала??? Это охренеть как заряжает! Редко в какой песне есть этот нерв, который буквально вщрывает мозг! Драконы, вы сумасшедшие!❤
I am not such into Imagine Dragons, but I like them. For what I`ve heard until now - this should be their best song. If you could share with me their songs similar to this - would be appreciated! Thanks! Cheers from a potential IG fan! :)
Man , this is the best live performence i have ever seen... why the heck do u need autotune if u have a singer like this.....Imagine dragons - the BEST
It's December 2021 let's see how many legends are listening to this masterpiece Es Diciembre 2021 veamos cuántas leyendas están oyendo esta obra maestra
OMG GOOSEBUMPS!!! I LOVE THIS TOO MUCH!!! Why don’t they play this song more often live?!? This is so amazing and you can’t stand still when this song is playing. I God i’m dead cause I love this too much. So freaking amazing omg
i'm so sad because i just got REALLY into the imagine dragons (like really into them, i started a fan account and everything) but i got into them too late to see (or even know) there was a tour, so, i hope they go on another one soon!!
when you guys came to Mexico on April 27 on tour, it was my birthday and I went to see you guys, it was amazing to see you guys singing, thank you so much for coming
today i had a basic interview, just one of 4 or five attempts. Before stepping out, in the morning I listened this in loop, i have listened to this many times(all thanks to M Impossible movie), but today I learned about the lyrics and few comments/opinions of fans about this song. This song lodged into my sub-conscious and did not let me give up on the way. It was an ugly day, but on the way I kept telling myself, the day is not ugly, I just have a bad attitude and kept going around lil excuses and obstacles. to the bird in the storm ✌️🤘
I felt chills when listening to this song in the audio format, when it was recommended as the MI:Fallout theme, and when I searched for lyrics it was not a surprise to know it is from Imagine Dragons, the band which was, is and will be my favourite band of all time. Each and every song, a pure masterpiece. Great work guys! Been your fan since so long!
+Nathan Smith srsly ur so lucky to see them live!!! They actually came to my hometown but at that time I was too young to even realize what Imagine Dragons was.....

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This is so much harder than the studio version. The guitar notes are so strong. The drums are wonderful. In total it is a fucking masterpiece.
this song should've had a music video
I totally agree
yes, I agree so frickin much
i've been waiting a long long time for that..
All of their songs need.
especially Dream
Chris j. Veneracion Yup, Dream is one of my favorites along with Friction, I'm So Sorry and Polaroid
This drummer is amazing and one of the most underrated drummers :)
4 million subscribers and the drummer is underrated?
Are you serious? The drummer is daniel platzman
Daniel Platzman, dear boy.
+raptors13jays platz ❤
+TheBenojacko he's one helluva man eh 😍😩
Them and Twenty One Pilots are one of the few bands I've seen where the songs live are almost, if not, better than the studio versions.
i think there always better live than on their recordings
check out coldplay and bastille, they´re also great live
slipknot too
My two favorite bands
GhostingGhost YASS TØP AND ID
Ben's bass solo at 3:40 and 3:49 was so good!!!
+ANTHONATOR Gaming te best !
Yeah!!
It was EVEN better at life is beautiful, thats my favourite version.
i wasn't ready for that omfg
His Bass so amaze
Why do they never play this song live anymore
It is a masterpiece
i cant imagine the amazing atmosphere of actually being there
but can u imagine dragons?
absolutely
I want you to close your eyes and picture firebreathing beasts being the patronus of the 3 Dans and Ben
+Kaylee Pham Rose (Kaitlyn's Snow) i tried that while listening to the performance and OMG. 🙌🏻
+Kamalia Hasni (maliemania) OH MY GOD THE PHAN REFERENCE OHIL BEING TOO LOUD I CANT
It’s pity that not every song is like this. They’ve totally rocked this! There´s even a breakdown.
The bigger pity is that this is one of their least viewed songs
This is the most metal imagine dragons song ever
AND I FREAKING LOVE IT!
Metal, really? This is just rock music, definitely not metal
@@featherycoffee1401 That’s true. I was thinking more that it was the closest they have to metal.
well, they have cutthroat now lol so your wish came true
@@natep6729 Nope, Cutthroat ain't heavier than this. But something from the new album will be.
@@featherycoffee1401 Yeaaa...ig u call this "hard rock" at most. Imagine Dragons were never really a metal band lmaoo
This song is soo underrated!!
I think so
Friction"
Get down with the victim
We both know you need them
You're stuck in the middle
Of all irrelevance
And your heart is beating
Cause you know that you gotta
Get out of the middle
And rise to the top now
[Pre-Chorus:]
When you've made it
Won't ya tell me what to do
Cause I'm playin' it all wrong
When you made it, when you made it
Won't ya tell me what to do
Cause I'm playin it all wrong
[Chorus:]
You can't fight the friction
So ease it off
Can't take the pressure
So ease it off
Don't tell me to be strong
Ease it off
You can't fight the friction
So ease it off
And get into the system
We both know you need one
The tip of the needle
Is taking over you
And your heart is beating
Cause you know that you gotta
Get out of the middle
And rise to the top now
[Pre-Chorus:]
When you've made it
Won't ya tell me what to do
Cause I'm playin' it all wrong
When you made it, when you made it
Won't ya tell me what to do
Cause I'm playin it all wrong
[Chorus:]
You can't fight the friction
So ease it off
Can't take the pressure
So ease it off
Don't tell me to be strong
Ease it off
You can't fight the friction
So ease it off
Ohhh why can't you let go
Like a bird in the snow
This is no place to build your home
You can't fight the friction
So ease it off
Can't take the pressure
So ease it off
Don't tell me to be strong
Ease it off
You can't fight the friction
So
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Thanks
Doing God's work
How to copy 🤪
Thanks dude!!
I love this thank you
You know they're a huge band when their music sounds even better in live than studio version , then you just always wanna listen to the live audio ❤❤❤🐲
I'm living for imagine dragons

Thats one of the Tracks that should never stop.
Those screams at the end sound like heavy metal cats xD
MEOOOOWWWWW
+Daniel Potato Yes sir ;v
+Daniel Potato Is there any problem with it?
Ok, gracias por aclararlo compa
MEOOOOOOW!! MEOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!
The energy that they spill out of their performances is just amazing. They're one of the few bands that justify their songs live and I'm so lucky I got to see them and this song live ❤️
LOVE this song! These guys know how to ROCK IT OUT with electric guitars, drums and vocals! WOW I Love Imagine Dragons!!!!
So true
THIS IS THE BEST SONG I’VE EVER HEARED OMGGGG I CAN’T! I LIVE 4 THIS SONG!!!
The ending is so siccccck!
Why is this song so underrated ?
One of ID's best songs
The light show is freaking amazing. Loved this concert! Mephis was awesome!
2:44-2:49 OMG this voice it's really wonderful...
The drummer is amazing
MI6 (Mission Impossible 6) brought me here and I loooooove it!!!!!!
I love that he was trying to save his voice for later songs but after the first chorus he just went "fuck it this song deserves it" and tore his vocal chords apart just to give us the best performance ever
I love this live version more than the recorded version.... ❤️
i love how the original song sounds much more different but both are so extremely
AWESOME
Such an amazing band. "Like a bird in the snow... "
They will be forever my absolute favorite band I will just keep finding reasons why I love them so much
So glad to finally find one really really good hardrock song!! In a while now.. Rock this days are pretty much .. techno ?? Idk sounds weird.
this ain't hard rock mate :) Well, if u want good rock bands, check out Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed, BFMV.
@@youraveragemusician3914totally late to this but the instrumental is very hard rock, maybe not in the verses but the chorus and the break down is hard rock.
These guys are the only thing I live for
The pre-recorded version of this song does not do justice to how amazing it is
such an exciting performance. makes me feel like a child again. love the solo.
I can't imagine my life without IMAGINE DRAGONS! all my family listening them.
Mon sauveur 💝💪, le seul et l'unique 🥰❤️ et punaise voilà le live 💖😘
UM YES????? Why did i not see this was performed live before😭😭 THIS IS PERFECTION can they please do this again
This is amazing! The energy, the guitars, Platz❤, and Dan's hair:) ID should revisit this sound
Can I please just get an "I'm So Sorry" music video?
yesssssss
I'm So Sorry to inform you that we can't do that because Imagine Dragons are stuck On Top of the World in Radioactive Amsterdam with some Fallen Worriers. But we can reimburse you with this bar of Gold, but only if your a Tiptoeing Working Man.
Yea, and "Thief" too. With floating bird (like in the album art) at the end of video! I cant stop Imagining it (pun intended).
CIAgent42 only singles get music videos besides promos
CIAgent42 YAAAS
The way you guys sound live is so magnificent it's glorious. some people sound AWFUL when they are live so it ruins the fun of concerts. Thats why you guys are so awesome!
Fuuuuck I love The Friction so much 😱😍😍
I need this song back in tour
2021: Imagine dragons it´s just perfection

If this was recorded into a downloadable song, I’d 100% prefer this over the original.
3:20 MEEEEOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!! I am now imaging dragon cat hybrids...
Kenzie TheEmoTrash now I can’t stop hearing MEEEDOOOOOOOWWWWWW
I don't know if I love or hate you for hearing it now

I hope I can see them in concert someday
I saw them in concert and it was amazing!!!!!! I would love to see them in concert again
me too...
you won't regret their concerts. but honestly it felt too short for me but I respect the fact they needed rest
I can tell you 100% it will be the best you will ever go to they basically did the whole smoke and mirrors album and 3 songs from night visions! Plus roots
Yes at the Philippines they sang Hear Me, Amsterdam and...HOLY CRAP I FORGOT THE OTHER SONG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO anyway they didn't sing roots at our concert because it wasnt released yet XD
This song sounds much better in the concert! Please hold the world tour and come to Thailand again!
This is like the one Imagine Dragons song that I see as rock. It gives that kind of energy. If only the studio version wasn't so heavy on the synth elements.
This is their best live performance till date PERIOD
such a clear voice
Черт! Почему я раньше это не слышала??? Это охренеть как заряжает! Редко в какой песне есть этот нерв, который буквально вщрывает мозг!

I love Imagine Dragons
great, I love this live version so much
Too excited to be here this soon, I don't even know what to write here
This definitely should have been released as a single and it does need a music video!
I would kill to see a smoke and mirrors performance live
I love the starting of this song 🤩🤩
Toronto is a really great place to party.
Seeing them live was one of the coolest experiences ever!
Como sempre arrasam 💙🎧
This song rocks
The fact that this has more views than their actual music audio
I felt chills when listening to this song in the audio format, when it was recommended as the MI:Fallout theme, and when I searched for lyrics it was not a surprise to know it is from Imagine Dragons, the band which was, is and will be my favourite band of all time.

Roots was my favorite live
