My parents are 65/70, the other day I introduced to the war on drugs. Last night I found them curled up on the couch together listening to this song. Good music is timeless and knows no bounds!!!
That’s amazing 😍
That must have been one of the most beautiful visions of your entire life
Gotta love the rents
Interesting. Years ago, I played Strangest Thing in the car on a road trip. Days later I walked by my 13-year-old son’s room and to my surprise he was playing it over and over. True, good music touches us all. And this song is great! Unlike anything I’ve heard before. Huge fan of this band.
This sixty two year old parent introduced this phenomenal band to my oldest son(35) he's been a fan ever since. Good music knows no age barriers, I grew up as a music freak I will die as one.
One of the best bands in the last 20 years, yes or no?
YES YES YES
Yessss
Without a doubt 👍🏽👍🏽
My baby boy and I were driving through the mountains yesterday - this song came on and he nodded off in his car seat - I pulled over and just started crying as I looked at my most beautiful boy. This moment will forever be cemented in my heart… the strangest thing ❤❤❤
❤ that is so lovely 😍
Did that really happen or is that just in your head to tell a story to the internet??
Bless you and your beautiful boy, I remember all to well how I looked over my shoulder to my baby boy on the back seat. 18 years later he introduced me to the war on drugs when we drove down lake Garda in Italy after a kitesurfing session. Life is a gift and this music just amplifies the best feelings that come with it.
@@leijenburgh01thank you kindly ❤ that sounds like an amazing moment! We’re so fortunate 🙏🏽
Ooof you’re making me cry.
I found this song (and album) a few nights ago while on a mushroom trip laying down thinking about my life and the existential crisis I seem to be going through as I approach 40. All the ways I’ve been so selfish as a person and lacking as a husband. This entire album (especially In Chains & this song) made me see my life through different eyes and I wept. Not for myself but for my wife, for us… for the distance that has grown between us. I grew comfortable in that space and I hadn’t realized how lonely she must be. But it also gave me hope and the clarity to know the path forward to show love unconditionally and unselfishly. If I could take one song with me when I die it will be this one. This album is absolutely perfect. Thank you Adam. 🙏🏼
Take the trip with out the mushrooms please, not needed
i will walk that road with you! don't give up!
You didn't find it.. it found you
I can relate. I’m there too. Went and saw them in concert last October. When I play this tune and many others from WOD I just feel better. Trying to change and be a better husband too.
@@kathleenbarber9677 Respectfully, you could not even begin to understand all the reasons why I decided to take those journey's (which were btw not for recreation reasons) even if I had to explain it to you in full detail or how immensely it has benefited me in a psychological & spiritual sense, and that's perfectly alright. Just the same, I cannot possibly imagine what you would need or not need even if I knew you. Be well.
That Guitar solo could fill the Grand Canyon !
Literally
That solo filled my heart and soul
@@limpiiicken1949 I know exactly what you mean. I can't get thru the entire song without going back to the beginning. It just sends my heart and soul further and further out into a place that must be close to Heaven.
@@alemapd13 the kingdom is in your heart heaven is a feeling ✌
Of planet Mars
One of the most underrated and finest bands of all time. Adam Granduciel is an amazing songwriter.
Totally agree with you. Been saying the same thing for years about this band 🥰
And very handsome
@@littlefatcatx Add humble, wholesome, and great hair, just a grand slam on talent that has to be God given. This boosts my spirit, I am proud to be a living creature of God after listening to this, truly.
My comment above applies to the entire band, just amazing.
Add the national to it and you've enough playlist ready to go
Choosing a favourite song by The War On Drugs is like picking your favourite child.
Harder even.
Like Sophie’s choice 😢
My hair stands up and I get goosebumps everywhere at 4:29 when the last guitar solo kicks off
To everyone that loves this song: thank you! I love you all.
love you back!
Yup we're here! Love you back:)
this is what music is all about
You too my friend Peace to mankind
@@a-aron14 tell me about it dude! when i posted this i was at my lowest point ever. that solo feels like a beam of light
I'm 57 years old and this is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan, and this would rank with some of my favorites from them. What an awesome sound....
Mark Eckenrode pushing 39 and in agreement
David Gilmore sprang to my mind when I heard this song, very Momentary Lapse of Reason
Same!
I agree !!
David gilmoure voice
I'm so glad to have this community. I want to share this band with somebody but nobody in my life listens to the same type of music that I do so I'm alone in this experience. Much love to you all! Thank you for your excellent taste in music and for existing. 💕
🙏😊
i feel like you you are not alone my friend
The truth is we are the lucky ones, they are missing out 😉👍this song is simply stunning 💕
Ditto. Their loss.
Welcome
February 2024 in Montreal, Canada, I have been listening to that beautiful masterpiece all day long.. I feel sorry not to have known this gem earlier in my life. Beauty at its best
absolute truth for me as well Mon Ami ... yet somehow my mind tells me that I've heard this before ... unique ethereal brilliance, perhaps near hypnotic !!!
I have never found another band where-- each time I listen to one of their songs-- I say to myself 'No, THIS one is the best I've heard!' I can CERTAINLY say that about this band. This is one of the more beautiful pieces of art ever created.
The lyrics: 'But I ain't got everything I need
If I'm just living in the space between
The beauty and the pain'...
Are hauntingly true. I can find myself, lose myself, then find myself all over again when I listen to The War on Drugs.
Recognize every face ..... but I ain't got every thing I need
If i'm just living in the space between
........... the beauty and the pain
It's the strangest thing
That's for most of us
Leah, You can listening "Pink Floyd" (Shine on you crazy diamond) or "Archive" (Again)... This is emotional bands.
Wow, absolutly agree with you 😇💙
Perfect
Ur bang on I was a thin Lizzy fan long time ago it’s the first band since them that I’ve been drawn they are brilliant I think he sounds like David gray at times but he has a unique voice and great lyrics a nd the music is second to none
And then all of a sudden that guitar pulls the skin of your bones...
I just read your comment & I was thinking , what guitar ? Then it just kicked in , awesome 👌
Sugar...and water
I love their music, like CCR is born again.
WORD!
Steve Vanbilllemont They are more ethereal than CCR. A little bit Dylan, a little bit Henley, a little bit Pink Floyd, a little bit of everything.
Waiting at the hospital to get general anesthesia and surgery in a few minutes. This is the last song I’ll hear.
I think I made the right choice.
Did u survive :D ?
Indeed
@@hiskidkeller he died. RIP.
Very sad to hear this
@@zurichsee706 = (
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
6 minutes and 41 seconds worth of goosebumps.
hearing 2:40 for the first time was simply magical
Love it at 3:34 when that electric guitar riff rips in, just sends chills.
Fo sho
Peels the skin from your bones!
¡Superlativo!
5 years later and the guitar still kills it 🎸
And the tom perfect !!
I have only just discovered this band. It was played in a cafe.
Thank you Shazam. Hello everyone.
I had the best little dog in the world for 17 years. We went through so many heart breaks and triumphs together. I was numb for days after I laid him to rest. It was the hardest decision I ever had to make. Then I heard this song for the first time while driving home from work. I had to pull over cause this song says everything I was feeling. Thank you, War on Drugs. Looks like this song means alot to many many people.
🐾❤️🐾
Brilliant 👌🏻
"Strangest Thing"
Sun rise in the East
Howl at the day
I've been hiding out so long
I gotta find another way
Late at night I wanna see you
Well my eyes, they begin to fade
Am I just living in the space between
The beauty and the pain
And the real thing
Now the sky is painted
In a wash of indigo
I've been holding on too long
In the howling of this cold
I recognize every face
But I ain't got everything I need
If I'm just living in the space between
The beauty and the pain
It's the strangest thing
Yeah, she runs surrounding me
Surrounded by the hole
Surrounded by no other
I wanna run home
Yeah, I can run slowly
Don't run away again
Yeah, I can run home
Don't run away again
I wanna run, I wanna run
Surrounded by the *whole*? jmtc
Isn't it "Summer Ride (or Right) on the Beach," not "Sunrise in the East?" The end of the phrase definitely has a "ch" in the ending - listen again. jmtc
terptek1, thanks, and I made the correction. Someone else gave me that first line as a different correction. But listening it really does sound like yours. Look at the ending. There's one line I'm still not sure of:
Yeah, I can run [?]
Don't run away again
I wanna run, I wanna run
I hear "Yeah, I can run slowly, Don't run away again; Yeah, I can run home, Don't run away again; I wanna run, I wanna run...."
Don't forget "Surrounded by the *whole*"
I thank the Lord for the person who broke his heart.
What a horribly awesome thing to say.
What a nice twisted mind you have! 😂😂 You get it.😍
LMAO. Kirsten that was good.
Yes. Emotions are so good for us to have . once us empaths allow us to feel good about them good, bad , ugly emotions. we can be set free
I swear, being a deep feeler is such a gift. It's like the ability to be so deep when rest of world is so not like us
His modesty is gorgeous but does this man realize how amazing his music is? I cant get enough of this song.
I was already loving the song but when 2:41 hit I got choked up and teary eyed because I knew in that instant that this will be a song I hold dear for the rest of my life
Tharpedo Entertainment Oooof! Just heard it. Awesome.
So right...
Literally all of us
also the guitar part at 3:34
Oscar Daniel O. A. Me too i love this part..goosebump
I just found this band.. What can you say when your world opens up, and suddenly feels a nicer place to be.. There are bands that touch my soul, yet somehow this band... fills the voids.. simply stunning..
I came across this band when I came across this song when I was living in London so maybe around March 2018 I think!
Aww..when you find a band and it's immediate love! fell head over heels with this band about 8 years ago when i saw them play an epic version of under the pressure at a festival and they've just gotten better and better..the new album is more focused with some fantastic songs and their set at glastonbury this year was ridiculously good!
After I heard this song for the first time, I was MIND-FUCKING-BLOWN. There were tears streaming out of my eyes, I was hyperventilating, my spine was tingling like no tomorrow... I felt like I'd been reborn, like everything that had ever happened to me before then had just ceased to exist and my life had reset completely. It actually took me a while to get back to feeling normal again, but I didn't care at all. When a song does that to you, you have to treasure it until your very last breath.
these guys are so underrated.
Better to keep them in secret ;)
This song fell from heaven. Give it back to God.
Best band of this decade.
Of the past 20 years.
Radiohead...Arcade Fire..TWOD are the best bands of the last 20 years.
Fan of the War on Drugs and the Blue Nile? Sir, you are a friend of mine
"Cough" Tame Impala "Cough".
Tame Impala fell off after Lonerism, unfortunately. Currents was an awful album.
This song makes me cry and sends electricity through my whole body in waves..
This song made me wake up in the middle of the night after a fell asleep with my headset on, smiling and crying at the same time without any particular reason... I guess because it hits directly in the soul!
That sounds amazing. ❤
Yes, that's it! Because each of us knows these feelings .......❤
I could listen to this all day.
I listened to this song nearly everyday since I my daughter told me about them . Its simply one of the best songs ive ever heard
Bro we have the same initials
Best band on the planet.
These guys are so incredibly good. I’m 75 years young and man this music gives me so much joy.
Moi aussi, j'ai 72 ans et j adore cet album !!!
Once the vocals fade 3:34 minutes into the song and the guitars take over it is like The Heavens open up. I just want to put that last part of the song on a continuous loop and listen to it all day.
My goodness, this album could be better than Lost in the Dream, and I didn't think that could be possible but with TWOD it is, I guess. One of the best bands nowadays and incredibly underrated!
It is very probable, man. All released singles are perfect and that is a good sign.
foals -fleet foxes- wod
The Letter Bleeds I couldn't agree more. But let's keep them underrated.
James Carey Indeed, we wouldn't want them turning into a fame hungry band like Arcade Fire and corrupt their music's essence.
The Letter Bleeds
l totally agree with you man. l have been put down for speaking out about AF like that over on Electric Blue video.
TWoD are a damn fine band with such a beautiful guitar sound and they evoke such strong feelings and emotion...
With AF, it's just shallow, pop music now and band members pretending to play instruments.
Adam's getting a little bit more David Gilmour with every album. I'm loving it.
Youre not the only one who feels that
I literally cried the 1st time I heard this song, it just pulls the emotions out of you.
I feel like everyone needs to listen to this at least once. What an incredible song.
I agree, but I don't think it's possible to listen to this song just once.
THAT GUITAR.... goosebumps
I am utterly speechless. Transcendentally beautiful. Even after 10 000 listens.
68 and love, love, love this band. Adam is without a doubt a master guitarist, singer/songwriter and story teller. Saw them at the St Augustine Ampitheatre Oct 6 and all I can say is they are phenomenol. Adam dedicated this song to our son Tristan's memory. Thank you guys! Our son was smiling from heaven. Do yourself a favor and go see them live! David
Also 68 discovered this band a couple of yrs. Ago
Hug the ones you love and never let go
OMG that guitar solo is sick
Beautiful, even to an old dude like me. Good music is truly timeless.
I love when he sings “late at night I wanna see you”. So beautiful
Who has evoked so much emotion from a guitar since Gilmour? No flash or technical flare. All heart.
Sitting on my porch in the rain. This is the perfect soundtrack.
Reminds me of a hot summer night, a beer and a old chair outside just asking yourself is it all worth it! with this song it certainly is
N Nijenhuis Or a very nice soundtrack for long road trip...
Beautiful
Hell yeah
An absolute masterpiece.. I was looking for a floyd Dylan pearl jam band to aspire to in my mundane tasks of conformity in daily life.. and to aspire in my guitar/piano/harmonica musings.. so thank you WOD's 🎸😎
I discovered this beautiful song a few days ago on Pandora. Reminiscing on my life with my beautiful cat who passed away two weeks ago. “It’s the strangest thing.” He sounds like Bob Dylan. Thank you for writing such beautiful lyrics and music. It brought all kinds of feelings. ❤🙏🏽💫
There is not enough volume in the world for how loud I want the last 2 and a half minutes to be.
The words are so real, but they hurt me in the most beautiful way. This world needs this band forever.
I wish I could go back in time and listen to this song for the first time again!
This song has helped me get through two rounds of covid and an unexpected breakup. Thank you.
I hope you are fine now
@@letiziamarano3414 Better than ever. Thank you :)
@@cryptovc I am happy for you, we must have love towards those who love good music 😘
I'm scared that one day the person I want to spend the rest of my life with won't like the war on drugs...
bhhxdg They won't be that person if they don't like The War on Drugs.
Listen to him bhhxdg( terrible name by the way.) his logic is quite sound.
I think I will be more terrified that the person I want to spend the rest of my life with LOVES the war on drugs lol. Not sure I can handle that much promise.
Lol.. Brill
I’m against the war on drugs
Granduciel knows song structure man.....this chord works with that chord and this phrase compliments that melody.....that is talent, and we are lucky.
Michael Wilkinson he knows song structure like now tomorrow, like Picasso creating artworks of biblical proportions
Amazing to me how each instrument on even his previous album was able to carry the melody and then bring the song to a point where they all just crash and blend together - to the point where the instruments are literally arguing for who is going to get it next, bringing the song to this chaotic level while still being able to blend the sounds and carry it out into an outro. This guy is one of the greatest composers in the industry today. TWOD reminds me of that angst of Mellencamp, Dylan, Young, and Petty rolled into one - TWOD will stand the test of time; music like this is timeless,
yep, but I would have replaced Mellencamp with Springsteen.
yes and I see we share another love, FOOTBALL...go UVA Cavaliers, NY Giants, TB Bucs and Hampton High Crabbers!
Michael Wilkinson you're 100% right. Couldn't have said it better. You know your stuff mom-freer
This band came into my life in my 40s, entering the maturity of a glass of wine and a good little book...
I just adore this track
The War on Drugs have brought folk / alt / rock to a higher level. This new album definitely confirms them as one of the best folk / rock bands, along with Wilco, from the beginning of the 21st century
This is strong song and accompanying video about how he couldn't find the entrance into that building. Maybe go around back Adam.
lol
Lmao
Lol!!
seriusly funneh
Ha!! Thanks
Dear God this is an incredible track. Is this what it was like to hear Pink Floyd for the first time in 1972 or 1975? A once in a couple of decades album.
I love your comment!
Yup
Pretty close.
This is exactly how i feel right now, discovered them few days back, same feeling like when i discovered pink floyd
I never discovered Pink Floyd. It was just played in my house practically since I was born and has always been there.
You keep seeing comments saying there isn't any good music these days. I think people need to look for it... cos here it is :-)
Simply the best song ever. They should be the group of the year .This is not the kind of music that we hear on regular radio stations but they should play this song everywhere. Thank s a lot TWOD. From a new forever fan.
I'm in tears right now... thank you.. I needed this..
Listen to Country Comfort by REM and Neil Young, you need this...I need this
Me too man ☺️
This band does that to a person.
5 years later... still feeling this
These guys just don't make bad songs......it's like a fountain of brilliance---- spouts one zinger after another. Maybe the best rock band in the world at the present moment?
This song has to be one of the best pieces of music of all time imo.
Adam really covers sweet sorrow better than any of his peers right now. Raw emotions but always that glimmer of hope. Beautiful music from a good soul. T.W.O.D are amazing!!!
strictlynorton thank you for using words from the heart. I'm sick AND sick of irony, sarcasm, and the coolest kid in the room syndrome. LOVE and BEAUTY and yes even PAIN matters.
As someone going through a break up right now, I don't think I could have found a more befitting artist to listen to. Every new song has hit home.
Matt Rodriguez life sure can dish out the bruises but never let go of the possibility of future joy. I have a feeling it will be ok. Bet it doesn't seem like it right now but life can surprise even the heaviest heart. Wishing you joy.
Thank you for the kind words, strictlynorton. I appreciate it.
THANK YOU FOR BEING POSITIVE IN THIS WORLD OF HATE. I LOVE YOU
Why great music like this is so underrated?
this kind of music can change the world!
Great comment! I am also 67 years old and I LOVE War on Drugs music. Great music has no age boundaries.
I heard this song on a friend's car while driving through the Andes Mountains. I'm amazed by the beauty of this music.
Does this song make anyone else bawl like it does me?
Am I living in the space between
the beauty and the pain
That's for most of us
I read that as " brawl like it does me " 🤣🤣
The best tears.
Every time man, every time.
This is shaping up to be a classic album.
Just fell... Perfect sound
When I first heard this I confess I wasn't a huge fan. Now I've been listening to it for 9 solid months I think it's one of the greatest songs in the world ever. Sublime.
Holy hell, that whammy in the solo….it’s like he somehow figured out how to literally put the anger and heartache into that one moment….like I can picture him in the studio, and that thing just popping right off….and the producers like….yep.We got it lol. Goosebumps every time.
As my Dad was dying before my eyes, this was my song of comfort. Thank you TWOD.
Sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is a terrible experience. I hope there is happiness in your heart.
Jewel Girl I needed this song 6 years earlier when I went through the exact same thing.
My father passed away on 5th of september. I never had a good relationship with my dad. Now I feel so sorry. I don't know how I feel.
Am I living in the space between
the beauty and the pain
That's for most of us
i'm going through the same right now, it's awful
edit: my father passed away yesterday, december 26, my heart is empty and I don't have anymore tears to shed
at this moment i am so alone yet forever with my father
Another sublime work of utter beauty from The War on Drugs...masterpiece.
I found this song randomly on Spotify in early 2018, and one month after i divorced from my wife that have been with me for 10 years. This song gave me too much confort at the time and i cant thank enough Adam and the whole band for making really honest music that ressonates in our soul.
It's @2:40 that just makes my life so much better when I hear that guitar riff! 42 years old and music still makes me feel blessed at times!
Thank You The War On Drugs.
Put me alone on a hill somewhere, with just this song...and I'll be happy.
The warm sun on my face, with a cigarette and a whiskey for me
@@mattybhoy6522 I don't need cigarettes or whiskey, just The War on Drugs.
@@sixfootswell8909 no whiskey for me thank you, just The War on Drugs with guitars, bass, saxophone, keyboards, drums,harmonica, and Adam singing. Thank you!
The tone of his guitar for the solo parts is absolutely incendiary. I can't get enough of it. What he's playing isn't complicated, but his control of feedback and sustain grips me in a way I can't quite explain. Does any guitar player out there know how to recreate this sound?
It requires discretion and an understated Precision of artistic intent.
मस्त...
I absolutely love the lead guitar solos in this song. Incredible !!
i donno why i just get kinda reminded of david gilmour with the solos, it's so good
i donno why i just get kinda reminded of david gilmour with the solos, it's so good
There is beauty in the pain of learning how to let go of people or things you love and setting yourself down and asking God to handle it from here. There is beauty in letting go of the pain.
It is incredible what music can do in the hands of such talented people, I have been following The War on Drugs since 2016, I discovered them through a recommendation and from there I became a fan of them, this melody despite being several years old still It moves me a lot and calms me a lot, I suffer from anxiety and in my most difficult moments this band has accompanied me, I could say without a doubt that The War on Deugs has saved my life sometimes, for this and more I will always be grateful to carry a little piece with me from The War om Drugs.
This band is such a hidden gem
That guitar just hit me! Sent chills up my spine, Flew past my brain, blew open my mind. Far and wide. Far and wide.
I cant describe what this song makes me feel when the guitar really kicks in, its like im feeling a whole new emotion only perfection like this can bring..
The repeated melody, over different instruments and with them all together, during the coda is so incredibly uplifting.
What a tune, on repeat!
Tardes de Invierno, un camino, unos acantilados... Un faro erguido orgulloso ante la intensidad del Océano.
4:29 min, nothing else matters, I had the opportunity to see their show last year in Mexico, I cried a lot with that guitar solo, if you dont feel that pain, that sorrow, you are not human, thanks a lot Adam, what a masterpiece you have gave us, thanks forever 🙏🏻❤️🎸
I can't even describe the emotions I feel when listening to this track. I'm happy and sad at the same time. TWOD just gets better every time I listen to them. I think "A deeper understanding" is going to be another masterpiece.
I could'nt say it better! Emotions .....owerflowing!!
I love everything about this band: the sound, the atmosphere it creates, the lyrics, his voice, the slow tempo.
Tudor
This song came up in shuffle on Spotify this evening, after I broke up with my partner after 5 years together. He’s a person I deeply love and respect, but our relationship wasn’t working and we had to recognize that. I need to grow without him, finding my own way. We said to each other that we want to stay friends, that we want to be there for each other. I miss him, but I know it’s the right choice for both of us. I’m happy and sad at the same time, this song reflects perfectly my feelings. Thank you.
nice words
I'm an Aquarius that loves to reminisce. This song along with "pain" and several others speak to me ... keep the tunes rolling!
Whenever I get a chance to see war on drugs live imma cry my heart out😫🍃🍁🍁☄💔
That song made me cry
tugs on the emotional senses,those notes especially 2:43 kick in! and that old building great great song and vid together. ill keep this for ever
Real music. God this is like some insane 80s or 90s rock ballad. Absolutely Legendary. Vibes of Guns and Roses. I dont know why. This band is amazing. From another time.
I wish I could like this video a million times
Lydia Koekje doe ik het ook voor je liken
