This is still the most beautiful song ever. The one that makes me miss my friends, and the one that makes me hope someone is here still after me, listening to this, and immersing into beautiful thoughts with this song, hopefully into thoughts including that perception of me who loved this song and missed my friends
Total musical nutrition..I'm blown away every time I hear this song!! A perfect balance of happy and sad, I'm happy when I hear it and sad when it ends.....
Just when I thought real music was lost..brilliance!..but this has been happening to me for decades, thanks to listening to KEXP....Thank You KEXP!....Thank You War on Drugs, Antlers, LCD Soundsystem, Echo and the Bunnymen, Ultravox, Big Country, Hidden Cameras, Magnetic Fields, L VonBeethoven, Verdi, Lone Justice, and on, and on :)) KEXP + Best Radio Station EVER!
Certainly very American as far as his influences go. I hear Jerry Garcia riffs, Lindsey Buckingham solos, Bob Dylan meets Tom Petty vocals with a little Jackson Browne ambience thrown in there as well. I have to say the whole thing is put together beautifully. He's a Class A songwriter.
Svea Conrad same here. 4 years later. april 1st, 2019. first time listening it. and i know this will be the only song i’ll be hearing for the coming weeks.
LYRICS (LIVE on KEXP) The War on Drugs - Red Eyes (VERSE 1) Come and see Where i witness everything On my knees (you got to) Beat it down to get to my soul Against my will When anyone could tell us you're coming But Baby don't mind You leave it on a line, leave it hanging on a rail (VERSE 2) Come and ride away It's easier to stick to the old (ods) When you're surrounded by the night Surrounded by the night and you don't give it in But you abuse my faith Losing every time and i don't know where (yeah) You're on my side (again) So ride the heat wherever it goes I'll be the one i can't (whoo!) (CHORUS) Come and ride away You can see it in the dark night touching my soul When you can see through the darkness coming my way (yeah) you won't get lost inside it all again (BRIDGE) Am i right? no one sees you around here waiting They don't mind, that i'm here, i hear For the best way, are you mine against it? (yeah) I would keep you here, but i can't (even) Oh, the right way i don't want to see it And i don't see it anywhere i turn, yeah (CHORUS) Come and ride away You can see it in the dark night touching my soul Yeah i can see it in the darkness coming my way Yeah you won't get lost inside it all You're all i shall... How can i see the day before the night How can i see the *hum* before the time Yeah you won't get lost inside it all You're all i know... (whoo!)
Amazing band and music. Excellent ! I hope to see and hear from you in Barcelona, you will fill the stadium of FC. Barcelona. I've heard all the songs almost 30 times , and again , each time it gives me goosebumps
Guess what? I still LOVE this live perfomance! still love this song! Thats how my soul sounds :3 Today I'm celebrating with my sennheiser's the year of the phenomenon, because I listen to it every day and never got bored! :D Thank you KEXP and The War on Drugs
the first time i heard this song was, when my wife and i travelled through aragon and katalunya in july 2017 with our camping car. it was damned hot, even in the mountains there. and we found by chance a public outdoor pool in Tremp. i went twice into the water, the rest of the afternoon i listend to an incredible good alternative and punk and avantgarde rock mix. in a public outdoor pool. and than came this song and put this day on an other higher level.
I remember when this album wAs released. Still steamrolling me in the most gorgeous, yet subtle of fucking ways.. If songs bring back vibrant, important times in my life: I fucking picked well..
whenever i read so many comments in a row that i agree with i know i'm on the right side of youtube, i don't know any of you people but you my tribe. The snare forte in the chours does it for me.
i knows its all about the music, but hey, when you have a show like this, i think you need to say thanks to the creators... because, without them, what would we have...? This is such a good show (albeit, on the internet, but, without the internet, i wouldn't see/hear this stuff...).. also, Cheryl is a good front guy (girl..)...
Never have a song been played so many times and still not feel boring
It was my top listened song on Spotify and I was wondering how. You are right you don't get bored of it.
Lost in the dream is arguably the best album of this decade.
Not arguably
@@31alking not at all
It is incredible.
This is still the most beautiful song ever. The one that makes me miss my friends, and the one that makes me hope someone is here still after me, listening to this, and immersing into beautiful thoughts with this song, hopefully into thoughts including that perception of me who loved this song and missed my friends
Me too, this song is so amazing ❤
Ocean inbetween the waves. Also great song
I streamed this song over 5k times in 2022 according to apple
The guitar riff + the keyboard during the chorus just kills it... brilliant
Samuel Morris-Rosenstein yep
The Drummer is absolutely creasing me with his facial expressions, love it best band band I've heard for ages
Man his drummer face cracks me up in all their kexp live performances. Esp their recent set for greater understanding album. Man kills it though.
dont think you understand how it feels to singe that shit in behind a tight ass band, such a great feeling....
He knows he's creating magic that touches people's soul. When this song really gets going you know it can something special.
9 years on and I still play this track on repeat. Such a wonderfully crafted song, forever one of my favourites
Absolutely, great song .
I just can't believe how brilliant this song is!
Told the same thing after the third time ive heard this song.
The drummer's facial expressions are my favorite :)
Like an SNL sketch......the faces he makes
Feeling every part of the music
Anna McMurdie sometimes when i look št him he seems like a magician with a magic stick
Guitarist's great too:)
Lol, he was feeling it, Or he was on something.
Looks like a bunch of dads came together and made a rock band. Still listening 9 yrs later
2023. Still the best song i've ever heard.
That snare sounds amazing.
Yessir
Whomever engineers KEXP stuff is a hero.
Total musical nutrition..I'm blown away every time I hear this song!! A perfect balance of happy and sad, I'm happy when I hear it and sad when it ends.....
This is so magical, Feels so euphoric
his guitar solos hit the spot every time!!
Thank God for art and artists like this 🙏🏻
@SamuelEMPowell131 great recommendation 👍🏻 thanks!
You don't know what is behind but realy makes me feel like child in 80's hearing this collage of sounds. Eyes dropping tears and feel like can fly.
This song makes me feel so alive. It’s in damn near all of my playlists.
they've got to be one of the most underrated bands I've ever come across. I can't stop listening!
Just when I thought real music was lost..brilliance!..but this has been happening to me for decades, thanks to listening to KEXP....Thank You KEXP!....Thank You War on Drugs, Antlers, LCD Soundsystem, Echo and the Bunnymen, Ultravox, Big Country, Hidden Cameras, Magnetic Fields, L VonBeethoven, Verdi, Lone Justice, and on, and on :))
KEXP + Best Radio Station EVER!
lutz luhmann Amen!
... and Jonathan Wilson.
Certainly very American as far as his influences go. I hear Jerry Garcia riffs, Lindsey Buckingham solos, Bob Dylan meets Tom Petty vocals with a little Jackson Browne ambience thrown in there as well. I have to say the whole thing is put together beautifully. He's a Class A songwriter.
this song is the only thing I have listened to since April, beautiful
Svea Conrad same here. 4 years later. april 1st, 2019. first time listening it. and i know this will be the only song i’ll be hearing for the coming weeks.
So well written.
One of the best bands out there right now! Great great song!
they discoverd the difinition of music, it's such a great song
One of the best live performances I've ever seen caught on video. Pure magic!
My favorite part is when the song picks up at 1:51

LYRICS (LIVE on KEXP)
The War on Drugs - Red Eyes
(VERSE 1)
Come and see
Where i witness everything
On my knees
(you got to) Beat it down to get to my soul
Against my will
When anyone could tell us you're coming
But Baby don't mind
You leave it on a line, leave it hanging on a rail
(VERSE 2)
Come and ride away
It's easier to stick to the old (ods)
When you're surrounded by the night
Surrounded by the night and you don't give it in
But you abuse my faith
Losing every time and i don't know where
(yeah) You're on my side (again)
So ride the heat wherever it goes
I'll be the one i can't (whoo!)
(CHORUS)
Come and ride away
You can see it in the dark night touching my soul
When you can see through the darkness coming my way
(yeah) you won't get lost inside it all again
(BRIDGE)
Am i right? no one sees you around here waiting
They don't mind, that i'm here, i hear
For the best way, are you mine against it?
(yeah) I would keep you here, but i can't (even)
Oh, the right way i don't want to see it
And i don't see it anywhere i turn, yeah
(CHORUS)
Come and ride away
You can see it in the dark night touching my soul
Yeah i can see it in the darkness coming my way
Yeah you won't get lost inside it all
You're all i shall...
How can i see the day before the night
How can i see the *hum* before the time
Yeah you won't get lost inside it all
You're all i know... (whoo!)
Jesus, this knocks the socks off the radio edit. So much more bite - please release this version.
Best current live band (sorry U2)--I'm in my 70's ,seen them all; Adam and the band are exceptional,sold out in St Paul , here soon!!
I love this sound so energetic, so lucid and full of vitality, it is one of my favorite songs! never stop playing 🤟🏻🌃💫✨🎶💞🥂
Amazing band and music. Excellent ! I hope to see and hear from you in Barcelona, you will fill the stadium of FC. Barcelona. I've heard all the songs almost 30 times , and again , each time it gives me goosebumps
This band is so great... It's like Bob Dylan's vocals mixed with something like the Dire Straights in terms of acoustics. Just amazing!
Perfect!
Sublime, simply sublime.
Guess what? I still LOVE this live perfomance! still love this song! Thats how my soul sounds :3
Today I'm celebrating with my sennheiser's the year of the phenomenon, because I listen to it every day and never got bored! :D
Thank you KEXP and The War on Drugs
What a song! And that bassline.. Hoho!
Absolutely amazing! This song is crazy
killer performance
what a performance
Yet another example of the KEXP performance outshining the recorded version.
Jonathan Wilson is another example.
I don’t think any version can compare to the intensity of the studio recorded orignal, it’s truly a powerful modern masterpiece.
I feel like the acoustic is too loud here.. The recorded version is so perfect
4:06 the joy on the keyboardist face, knowing he loves his job 🫶🏽
just discovered this band and song, i’m obsessed
My favorite version of my favorite song
beautiful
Thank you Tom Ravenscroft for introducing me to these absolute musical pros. I never get tired of listening to this song.
Thank you War On Drugs for this song
This band is one the best things to come up in the past decade.
The drummer is overcooooooooolll
I'll be the one, I can't, whooooo!!!!!
coming my way......running in the dark
the first time i heard this song was, when my wife and i travelled through aragon and katalunya in july 2017 with our camping car. it was damned hot, even in the mountains there. and we found by chance a public outdoor pool in Tremp. i went twice into the water, the rest of the afternoon i listend to an incredible good alternative and punk and avantgarde rock mix. in a public outdoor pool. and than came this song and put this day on an other higher level.
My favorite song and my favorite version of it
Epic track . Love it
Brilliant gorgeous song. Reaches your soul.
I have never heard something like this, really happy that i found this band :)
The snare on this performance sounds so good.
Simply brilliant!
Just the singer and drummer are feeling it man , everyone else is dead , especially the acoustic player ! He looks totally out if it
seems like they play it too much, its like boring to them now.
What a tune
man i just found this song its mindblowing !!!!! pls come to Romania
Charlie's toms and snare never disappoint
But his lack of facial hair is slightly disappointing
I love seeing passion more than anything.
Just found out about this song and band through Apple Music and probably played it 5x in a row, man what a great sound.
love em, new favourite band
I loved it. Been looking for something to love.
Shooter McGavin on the drums everyone.
These guys are fuckin’ ace! Had this track on all summer, that guitar playin’ 💥💥💥
Excited to listen to the radio again....even if it's only on satelite.
Totally adicted to this... Nice band and vibe.
really good performance!
This is beautiful. Thanks.
I remember when this album wAs released. Still steamrolling me in the most gorgeous, yet subtle of fucking ways..
If songs bring back vibrant, important times in my life: I fucking picked well..
amo esta canción, esta versión....
Kevin Suggs, I love you!
Best band this millennium!
This song is life
whenever i read so many comments in a row that i agree with i know i'm on the right side of youtube, i don't know any of you people but you my tribe. The snare forte in the chours does it for me.
Who can't stop listening? June 2017 crowd where we at?
God damn that build up at 1:40
Holy fucking goosebumps everywhere.
great sound. first ive heard of this band.
Ik. liebe diese Band .
Best live version
Incredible song
I'm in total adoration.
I love this guitar .
What a tune!!!!! ❤️
This is great. Absolutely love it!
I bet Bruce Springsteen wishes he wrote this song...
War on Drugs wish were Bruce more like
great song though
Often said I wish he'd cover them
Yeah, I think that often when listening to these guys. His vocal delivery and the way he sings the cadence of his lines is very Boss.
i think the same, but it's not a bad thing :)
The bassist is rocking a hella dope t-shirt!
Soaring brilliance!
Nothing to say really. I APPRECIATE YOU
fucking love this band. found them the other day and their tattood on my mind now.
So dope! 😎🎶🎵🥁🎸🎚🎹👻
What a great band
So good
| will always cry to this.
Badass. Fucking badass
Awesome!!!
1:51
Snare sound yes
i knows its all about the music, but hey, when you have a show like this, i think you need to say thanks to the creators... because, without them, what would we have...? This is such a good show (albeit, on the internet, but, without the internet, i wouldn't see/hear this stuff...).. also, Cheryl is a good front guy (girl..)...
Uhh, what?
