[@eduardoej02]

Oh my fuck.ng GOD!! How come this doesn't have millions of views????? This song is fucking amazing

[@Penny1339]

I agree! This moves the soul, it's so good!

[@eduardoej02]

Thank you for your comments!! It's great to know you think the same about the song

[@Penny1339]

Eduardo Aguirre Definitely, it's so refreshing to see real performers and not cookie cutter molded personas because that's what some suit and ties think the masses want to see. Not that they don't have talent either. But this raw talent where the music touches you and carries you. And her stage presence, you can't make this up. This is the real deal!

[@Penny1339]

Rob Tecum Right, I was watching some of her live performances. She sounds as awesome live as she does recorded on a track. I love her raspy, soulful voice.

[@eduardoej02]

Rob Tecum Me too. I have to be honest this is just the 2nd song I hear but I can't wait for the album. It'll be awesome to be driving to this. ***** You said it. Musicians... not performes.

[@mdr222]

i laugh at all the ignorant people in the comment section claiming this isn't rock because it has elements of soul and blues

[@nesk2011]

+Pepe AtScratch you can call it what you want ...but it isn't rock!

[@freshtodeathsteph]

Cesar Almeida Funny. Rock N Roll is Black Soul Baby. We made that too!!!!!!

[@johnmcwhorter1728]

+Pepe AtScratch Rock is constantly evolving and nowadays we see Rock and Blues merging with bands like The Arctic Monkeys (Their newest album), The Dead Weather, and now Alabama Shakes. Personally I love it...

[@freshtodeathsteph]

You get ignorance when education and History isn't taught correctly. I am Black American and WE shaped American music We created all of that. While whites stole our music. Sound and dance. Ask any Rock and Roll ( White) artist where it came from. Lmao. Same with Salsa, Merengue, Mambo etc..... It's all from Africa. Just like Santana said. People need to start reading more and talking less.

[@DISCOBOOGEYMAN]

+Stephanie Morton I wouldn't call it stealing it, perhaps improve it or expand it. Music is for everyone but I do agree with the roots of the music today. Great song either way !

[@biggestfanofroger]

This hook is a force of nature

[@linkfamilymusic]

Agreed!

[@ruthelfers8524]

+biggestfanofroger Totally!!!

[@cubangal1]

could not have said it better....such an awesome voice!!

[@adamjohnson5307]

That guitar riff is too lol

Oh my gosh just discovered Alabama Shakes, and my eyes have opened. They are AMAZING. So very amazing.

Man its been a LONG time since I heard a new song that I really dig!

[@BenLomonRail]

Right on dude! :)

[@xxx_daftsmackhead_xxx]

+retroolschool Do you not listen to new music much or something?

[@BenLomonRail]

André Nakamura Nope, he doesn't.

[@xxx_daftsmackhead_xxx]

***** Did not ask you.

[@retroolschool]

+André Nakamura thats my buddy there...

[@Mike-xq6ce]

Wow... This song is so good. I only recently heard it for the first time and 2:42 to the end is just overwhelming... The mentally exhausted yelling of not wanting to fight anymore brought tears to my eyes.

[@emilybarre2855]

This whole album...

[@na5794]

That moment when you discover rad music randomly.

[@speedlimit350mph]

This is a song that you feel, you simply don't just listen to this!!

[@jpkillah]

+Mr. Jay A Truuu

[@singlespeedr26]

+Mr. Jay A You're right!!

[@brianwong9637]

+Mr. Jay A I want to make a dance choreo to this now that you mention it

[@IscariotHeartwork]

2:18 is the only good part

[@IscariotHeartwork]

***** I'd like your comment but you not having a profile picture makes you seem like a fat ass for some reason

[@irid4scence]

This kind of music needs to be played more on [popular] radio stations instead of those ridiculous pop songs that are played over and over in which people actually enjoy.. (For some reason??)

[@themekvinftw8794]

Enough with the hipster comments so idiotic, lame naive people!

[@irid4scence]

TheMekvinFTW Since when is my comment 'idiotic', and how does this make me a hipster? I am nowhere close to being hipster, i just like this kind of music..Thank you very much.

[@themekvinftw8794]

em ily You deny it but you have the attitude of one my friend, I'm sorry if your song is not as famous as you want it to be, don't complain about pop music being on the radio, goodnight

[@haarismalik875]

em ily amen to that brother but it seems good things are only enjoyed by the few. At the moment, it seems the current mainstream "Capital" will reign until music develops another culture that is not dominated by auto-tune

[@themekvinftw8794]

***** and stupid lw quality riffs, I'm not all that in to pop, but I listen to quality music

[@AudraK]

I’m so thankful that my job played this song throughout the building this week. I needed to be reminded of this song ❤

[@bonitarogers8843]

Omg! I never thought I would love a female singer more than Janis. I think JJ sent me a miracle.

[@michaelbadial6690]

This is the best new sound I have ever heard. Alabama Shakes has instantly become my favorite band! Once you get beyond how amazing the lead singer is you hear how equally amazing the rest of the band is.

[@KllTCH]

the voice imperfection (only way I can word it sorry) sounds fucking perfect, honestly one of my favourites ever, fantastic job

[@kathrynlutje5318]

[@Hondo189]

+Sonny LE Cadence or inflection might be the word you are looking for.

[@ayjaygame]

+Sonny LE ALL I HEAR IS A MANS VOICEEE

[@HanSoloTheScoundrel]

"inflection," idiot.

[@tactictoe]

Word. Voices that have been vocal coached in the extreme leaves me very cold. All power, zero soul. I'm thinking Adele, Beyonce etc.

[@SusanH-CatLady]

Sings her heart out without missing a beat - love that RAW soul. Rock on Girl!

[@LanaDayne]

Brittney Howard is an amazing songwriter and deserves the grammy for this album.

[@maillesophie7679]

Miss Howard and her band are too good for the grammy...

[@missgilda6]

HOW CAN YOU DISLIKE THIS SONG HAVE YOU NO EARS

[@Visible2c]

we all have our opinions

[@majorhavoc9693]

I'm a 50 something old white man and I love this music and I love Brittany Howard. Something about her just melts my heart...

[@BrodyMulligan]

'Attacking. Defending. Until, there's nothing left worth winning.' One of the most succinct summations of the things that divide us, and yet bring the opportunity and hope that through working to understand, we are limited only by our imagination. Brilliantly simplistic.

[@normajanedoe]

i decided the "Prez" needed to hear this so I dedicated it to him on fb. I may also send it to him in a tweet since that's all he does.

[@TheClosetRatchet]

Yooooo I'm watching this on an SNL rerun and I'm fucking with it!! I'm fucking with her singing style. Like, I can already tell that she can SAAANG by how wide she can open her mouth (no shade, you need to be able to do that for resonance purposes lol). Definitely going to listen to the rest of y'all's music today

[@yomynameterranceiliketimbs3095]

Same, I was impressed that I restarted that part 4 times

[@TheClosetRatchet]

+Payton Nunn lol! Yes like I was staring at my tv in awe. I was like she's singing from the depth of her soul

[@sicsid4192]

Real shit

[@TheFunkyCriminal]

damn this is fucking dope. everything down to the mixing is straight magic

[@MsShanaynaysBitch]

Finally some music that has so much soul, it is tangible. I love Brittany's passion... she is truly in a class by herself... Out-fucking-standing!!!!

[@bobbietaylor9961]

SOOOO 😮SOULFUL & 😅Provocative! I LISTENED TO IT 4x ! The msg. IN THE MUSIC IS DOPE TOO😊

[@javtimestwo]

Welcome back Alabama Shakes. Us fans have missed you. We are anxious for new music. Enjoying the new track. Just what I would expect from a great band and dedicated musicians like yourselves. Keep up the fine work. I will be playing this song over and over until April 21st. Looking forward to the upcoming tour. I need to break my cherry and see the band live in concert for the first time.

[@tactictoe]

This song ain't fucking around.

[@TheTroubleMan9000]

[@LeahBandB]

Woke up this Election Day. Immediately played this song.

[@ninodagosta4276]

[@MyRennae]

I need the instrumental version SO BADLY...god, the guitars in this beat are killing me...

[@minxxoxo]

Great pick the Grammy's. I'm so happy I found this band

[@thebusey4514]

Soooo refreshing to see some original non corporate music. They really have some soul. Its a mix of blue, funk, rap, and rock. Amazing!!!

[@wolfstar675]

There is many great music out. Don't just listen to what's on the radio dig more people.

[@carlosandreslopezpatino575]

My life, your life Don't cross them lines What you like, what I like Why can't we both be right? Attacking, defending Until there's nothing left worth winning Your pride and my pride Don't waste my time I don't wanna fight no more Take from my hand Put in your hands The fruit of all my grief Lying down ain't easy When everyone is pleasing I can't get no relief Living ain't no fun The constant dedication Keeping the water and power on There ain't nobody left Why can't I catch my breath? I'm gonna work myself to death No, no, no, no! I don't wanna fight no more I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna fight! I don't wanna fight no more

[@room2376]

Carlos Andres Lopez Patiño thank you

[@lynnitrobe]

So much honesty in this! When people keep pushing and pushing. They WILL push you away if there's no brakes on the anger and provocation. GET IT, people!!

[@Batest212]

"My line, and you're line..... Don't cross dem lines....." *ARE THE CORRECT LYRICS* But I still love you!!!😘😘😍

[@FunaoManu]

Maestro,sos una masa,saludos desde Chile.

[@igodreamer7096]

Thanks

[@brendarivera2139]

no hay mejor sensación que encontrar la canción que buscabas desde hace más de un año

[@muyblastido6978]

Music's timing is always great timing. You can listen once before and never realized that you Dont wanna fight no more until now. "Why cant we both be right"

[@willieb.6273]

First time hearing this. Grammys got this one right.

[@elliesings9508]

I just heard this during the closing credits of a Silicon Valley season 2 episode. Really liking this song.

[@danielv1011]

Sillicon Valley brought me here too hehe

[@juules215]

Also here from silicon valley 😂

[@kat_04]

Same!

[@gabrieloliveira2161]

Grammys brought me here... I can only thank for finding this song.So amazing, so simple,so different

[@darksevenmaster5398]

yes this generation need this kind of music

[@oldelion3122]

Quentin Tarantino needs to make another movie, just to use this as a theme song.

[@FALL-LAFF-7477]

Your curiousity give me my attention....

[@Lowet90]

You had my curiosity but now you have my attention

[@RambleOn]

RIGHT

[@brendenwhiteley3847]

duringna super bloody slow mo fight scene

[@INeverMetaphorIDidntLike]

HOLY SHIT THIS COMMENT GAVE ME THE CHILLS

[@DeVoidLij]

There's something so uniquely captivating on the section at 2:42 that just drives me nuts. It's just amazing

[@johnhardesty3167]

Man, I seen this band on SNL, they are great, harmonizing, and funky!

[@samanthaschulz6552]

So much SOUL in her voice.

[@bishdog-sl8cu]

Her?

[@93RubixCube]

This song draws more from the origins of rock music than most of what is considered rock music today. Blues, folk and country music.

[@RosieSquall]

+93RubixCube Finally someone who knows their history of rock.

[@RustyDeluce]

Wildly authentic and genuine. 'Don't Wanna Fight' is visceral, tightly coiled, socially conscious funk with a pained soul and an urgency that evokes Curtis Mayfield. Alabama Shakes are the real deal and prove it throughout the 12 highly original tracks on 'Sound & Color' (2015). It's an uneven, sprawling piece of work that thrills, surprises, occasionally missteps but ultimately satisfies. This isn't "factory" music written by teams of industry songwriters to satisfy stockholders at a record company. This isn't a commodity or product engineered by soulless big media (unlike most contemporary pop). It's actual artistic inspiration and musical ambition that challenges the artist and listener. Take note when music like this comes around. It's a rare treat in today's mainstream industry.

[@grim5983]

I remember I first discovered Alabama Shakes when she performed at the Grammys and ohmygurd I LOVE HER MUSIC

[@ShannonKCampbell]

I love the graphics of this video too

[@libertyordeath555]

Even Lysol can't get the Funk of of this jam !

[@Sharon-hd4wp]

"I don't wanna fart no more." FINALLY, music that I can relate to.

[@Nomadic813]

#tacobellproblems

[@Jessica-kx4sv]

My friend showed me this song today and within the first few seconds i was like "this is a good song" I'm lucky we have such similar taste in music, we love sharing music with each other

[@younghotrod1288]

mannn this is the type of song you listen to an just picture yourself on top of a mountain watching a beautiful sunset or in the ocean beach just looking at the sky an seeing the stars shine oh so bright

[@mazz1557]

Hear that sound?? That's a guitar... Hear that other sound?? Amazing vocals... Aka, proper music. Long live the instrument, and the talented musicians that operate them.

[@steamboatbill4]

obsessed with this song!!! these guys are from like 15 minutes down the road from me and I can't wait to see them in Memphis on March 20th!!!! about to preorder this album ASAP

[@PestilencePending]

i live 30 mins from Athens and i am ashamed that i just found this amazing music weeks ago. I would love to see the Memphis show.

[@ThatGuyBunty]

Hope ya had fun

[@siblilngs101]

Same here. Never heard of them until one song came on Pandora and they live just on the other side of the river. Country music is just so thick down here that's all you hear.

[@mixtapememoir]

Jason Parker Oh no! I would be ashamed too. They supposedly did covers before and I would've enjoyed that... especially in a small town.

[@benben071]

Jared McRae Lucky you. But over here in Holland the music sounds luckily as good as it does over there with you haha. Im gonna recommended this song to all my friends!!

[@BillMichel]

"Silicon Valley" brought me here...great song!

[@tommykevans3]

This kicking tune just won the Grammy for best rock song! Well deserved!

[@pick1played07]

Best singer out there today. Perfect combination of technicality and rawness.

[@kfidgs]

The start of this song fits perfectly as ringtone :D

[@Train-train-h9k]

+Junkie Doe niiice...

[@logan4x6]

I'll never forget the feeling this gave me when it came out. Still hits so f"*cking good. I was in awe to hear such a change in pace from their shine-y, Summer-esque debut compared to what I could already tell was going to be a soulful, tight, sonic record with some dark undertones. This album reigns on. I cannot wait to hear what Brittany has to offer on her vulnerable new album.

[@SmoothBrotha]

GODDAMN! I Fucking love those drums. Punchy as hell!!!!

[@kdr_roxas]

and that guitar...gimme a sec, I need to go change my pants

[@johnbaker7992]

[@jocastasamuel]

This song is awesome. I've just realised that not all musicians suck nowadays. Good job Alabama Shakes! Keep it up!

[@dianafuller5475]

This is the best thing I have heard in a really long time.

[@kristaharris5396]

"Attacking, defending. Until there's nothing left worth winning." Man, if that isn't the world we live in...

[@lylemaclin]

You do realize rock originated from the blues. Rock is uptempo blues, Chuck Berry and Little Richard personified it.

[@impalassamuel]

lylemaclin James Brown, Otis Redding, Ray Charles, Wilson Pickett.

[@kennygilfoy5998]

BB King, Muddy Waters Robert Johnson

[@trebordraw123]

Personification is the act of giving non - human things human like qualities. How did they "personify" rock?

[@RepubliconCelebrityPresidents]

RIP Little Richard

[@bcgunner9324]

Well, not really. Rock is a type of music. Blues is simply a subset of Rock. It's called Blues rock.

[@susiehaynie1767]

There needs to be a radio revolution!

[@laylagiles3643]

I flipped back to the Grammy's just in time...... Love everything about this song and band

[@PH10001]

your right some guy on the Internet. I stopped listening to the radio many years ago because i felt like what was in the air wasn't the best out there. now I only find good music through youtube, print ads or what ever catches my ear. Alabama Shakes is a breath of fresh air and its music I have been wanting to here for a long time

[@darneicosta]

Impossível ouvir esse clássico e ficar parado...baita som pras pistas de dança!!!

[@BoognishDisciple]

It's sad that this wasn't a huge Top 40 single when it's so much better than like every hit of last year.

[@cbox7701]

Honestly, if Kendrick doesn't win Album of The Year for "TPAB", I really hope these guys get that fucking Grammy. But I'm afraid that The Grammy's will fuck around and have Taylor Swift's "1989" win because it has more Pop appeal. I hope that's not the case.

[@jordan12118]

Yeah me too anyone but Taylor swift or that country guy but Alabama shakes and Kendrick very deserving

[@KimmyVaine]

They just won!

[@LOLXDNate]

Or have Beck win best rock album when he didn't even have a rock album...

[@jayb5324]

It is

[@cheb-el5919]

that was the case unfortunately

[@dingdion3418]

I just heard this band on the radio for the first time. Wow. What a cools sound. Love it. Great mix of retro and a new sound.

so rare you find a song that speaks for you when your mouth and heart cant complete the sentence

For all of you who dont know, its a female singer.

+YoBoiGarret she sounds like a man

[@aryanarora7046]

Mauricio reverse psychology

[@arnola88gt]

My sister put me on game lol I thought it was a dude

[@TaylorJNewman]

When songs like this which are usually considered r&b/soul go mainstream to the pop people, I feel like you have to explain this to others. A lot of women sound like "men" in that case.

[@Blubkeks100]

+Aryan Arora Shes properly black..yep thats it

[@suveermanj1001]

This lady has a voice that brings out just pure raw emotions from the listener. Absolutely beautiful.
