    Lyrics:
    I was lying in my bed
    A creature void of form
    Been so afraid of everything
    I need a chance to be reborn
    I never wanted anything
    That someone had to give
    I don't live here anymore
    I went along the wind
    When I think about the old days, babe
    You're always on my mind
    I know it ain't like I remember
    I guess my memories run wild
    Like when we went to see Bob Dylan
    We danced to "Desolation Row"
    But I don't live here anymore
    But I got no place to go
    Beating like a heart
    I'm gonna walk through every doorway, I can't stop
    I need some time, I need control, I need your love
    I wanna find out everything I need to know
    I'm gonna say everything that there is to say
    Although you've taken everything I need away
    I'm gonna make it to the place I need to go
    We're all just walking through this darkness on our own
    Time surrounds me like an ocean
    My memories like waves
    Is life just dying in slow motion
    Or getting stronger everyday?
    I never took our love for granted
    You never left me wanting more
    But you'd never recognise me, babe
    I don't live here anymore
    Beating like a heart
    I'm gonna walk through every doorway, I can't stop
    I need some time, I need control, I need your love
    I wanna find out everything I need to know
    I'm gonna say everything that I need to say
    Although you've taken everything I need away
    I'm gonna take you to the place I need to go
    We're all just walking through this darkness on our own
    Beating like a heart
    I'm gonna walk through every doorway, I can't stop
    I need some time, I need control, I need your love
    I wanna find out everything I need to know
    I'm gonna say everything that I need to say
    Although you've taken everything I need away
    I'm gonna take you to the place I need to go
    We're all just walking through this darkness on our own
    We're all just walking through this darkness on our own
    We're all just walking through this darkness on our own
    We're all just walking through this darkness on our own
    We're all just walking through this darkness on our own

    Ah - The War On Drugs are currently my favourite band - their new album, of which this is the title track, is just wonderful.
    Backstory? Not really sure there is much of one - obviously nods to "Boys Of Summer" as noted, and as in many tracks, to Springsteen and Dylan - but the best meaning of the track is this:
    “I Don’t Live Here Anymore” celebrates getting to the point in life when you’re no longer drowning in waves of old memories but surfing atop them. The title is not a lament but a point of pride. Amid a daydreaming verse, Adam Granduciel wonders, “Is life just dying in slow motion/Or getting stronger everyday?” Then a cascade of toms and guitars give way to the majestic hook, and the answer could not be clearer.
    That should clear it up I guess :)
    Nice reaction Paul - and hopefully more from TWOD to come - fingers crossed from me that their O2 London show next April survives all this uncertainty 🤞🤞

    Look at all the keyboards, wires and pedal boards.

    Sounds a lot like Styx. "Lady". The creature void of form lyric is actually really good.

    It's so 80s sounding. Love it.

    Sounds like tears for fears. That’s why it sounds familiar

    To me it sounds like Waiting For A Star To Fall - Boy Meets Girl. The beginning at least
