Cold War Kids - Hospital Beds

myspace.com/coldwarkids
The second single from robbers & cowards

[@johnmcgahon9917]

I remember listening to this song as a 17 year year old in 2008, stills hits the same in 2023!

[@ChelseaAusen-dd7te]

Dude literally me too ... For a long time I couldn't bring myself to listen to this song without balling like a baby. I'm really glad I started listening to it again.

[@Bhuyakasha]

240p is like the new black and white.

[@Numptyspooon]

I find myself In hospital beds more than I'd like to. This song always come to mind, helps me get through things.

[@BigShree]

still there?

[@Numptyspooon]

@@BigShree Back in 2014 I was battling demons and eating disorders galore. Self harm and hospital bedd were my standard. I can safely say that I’m happily married with a 1 year old and now haven’t been at my worst in 2 years. It’s not ideal, and I have my days/weeks. But its better. And those hospital beds? There. But the fires are nearly out.

[@345345345rtrt]

Whole album takes me bad. Sorry to hear about your distress.

[@jakelemons5760]

Yep. I'm in the E.R. right now.

You know this song is old when they link their myspace page

[@laurenmcneese9361]

No doubt

[@bramvds6501]

You know this comment is old when it says "4 years ago" by the side of it.

[@recentXrapture]

Wow

[@wiredbeats9058]

@@bramvds6501 you know the reply is old when it says "7 months ago" beside it

[@darkskull5896]

And you know its really old when the replies say 2 years by them 😆 but i originally was going to say ahhh...Myspace..*sigh*

[@donovandunlap8560]

This song speaks to my soul so silently but so loudly at the same time.

[@-Darko-]

We got no chance of recovery 😢

[@PaulAllann]

This song is so under rated

[@justkat2608]

When my grandmother was in the hospital a few months ago I listened to it a lot because it did accurately describe the feelings and portrayed the experience well. She passed away now, I’m just glad she’s not suffering anymore

[@rig0d633]

Rip

[@DocDew]

I just saw these guys last night at SXSW and they were friggin baller live. He has one of the most amazing voices especially live.

[@nx_Exe]

Im jealous

[@ziggyflinthawk]

I love the line "I did not choose him, he did not choose me." If you get time try Lucid Rivers

[@ClarenceBland]

+F. Hawk one of the most powerful lyrics to date.

[@stephengarvin7373]

Haven't heard this since my old 32mb ipod went kaput four years ago. Love it more than ever

[@aprilragsdell2846]

"Put out the fire (in our lungs...2020 version)" ..... still love this song but as others said, takes on a whole new meaning now. :(

[@andrewnavarro1185]

Was thinking exactly this. Bring your ventilators by the dozens...

[@MJ-om5go]

This song is so real. Hospitals and mental health facilities are just like this song and video.

[@alisonludlow5554]

"We got no chance of recovery Sharing hospital, joy and misery The joy and misery, the joy and misery" Boy howdy, this got very real

[@MrBookertjones]

i cant help singing "screaming" along especially in the car to this one

[@troey1237]

Being in a hospital bed always brings this song to my head

[@ccwaddle]

I read somewhere that this song was written from the point of view of someone who is in a mental hospital who believes they shouldn't be, which is the irony of it all because a lot of mental patients who are really sick believe they're not crazy.

[@user-fr9cr8yd1z]

I'm walking down Seventh Avenue a few days ago, between Lincoln Place and Saint John's, and there's a guy across the street with his headphones in, screaming these lyrics, headed wherever he was going. Took me waaaaay back. Thanks, random man with great taste in music!

[@appleguyforeternity]

HVÍTA AURI That might’ve been me lol

[@Nightsable]

@@appleguyforeternity love seeing a good missed connections

[@tallguy1530]

I love it when bands produce harmonies the right way AND still make it sound right. And I sung like this all year, just playing around, and everyone laughed, lol. I like his voice. :)

[@eliquate]

I broke my neck 4 years ago, and spent quite a bit of time in a hospital and made friends with the guy next to me. It is a weird bond. We still stay in contact! Jon, hope your stomach is doing well brother.

[@sloukos]

saw these guys live 3 years ago in Brussels...1) great on stage 2) very entertaining and interactive with the crowd! They are a great low profile band...i like...!

[@andygay85]

the piano gives me chills every time i hear this song, great song

[@vincentramirez6739]

14 years ago! Damn. When did I get old

[@hahawhybother]

Been lying in hospital for the past month and this song has been on repeat over and over again in my head.

[@snorkle5041]

Still gives me shivers this song. Very powerful.

[@LuckyLuke_94]

thank you florence

[@hollydolly88]

i totally agree with everyone who saw the scrubs ad and couldn't get this song out of their heads. for a few days now i've been bursting into song singing, 'there's nothing to do here..' so glad i found it! xxxxxxx

[@sagewatersmusic]

As a child I've suffered through 17 orthopedic surgeries on my right femur, i looooove this song! F Hospitals! its perfect the joy of the recovery but also the misery, they have sung out what i couldn't put into words, thank you CWK!

[@Jabullz]

Thanks for showing me this song Danny. You never even made it to the hospital to be in one of the beds.

[@back2realitygal11]

this is so much like classic music. So simple and feel goody.

[@appleguyforeternity]

This song doesn't have enough views.

[@jeffreywedk2993]

Really most of their songs don't have enough views.

[@issa4196]

this band doesn't have enough fans honestly

[@vfb66]

I was sad 10yrs ago when i was listening to this....still sad

[@monsteroni]

TRASH TRAXX still sad? jk hope u doin better

[@1017bsq]

i was at a mental hospital for a month nd this song makes me feel

[@HeadNtheClouds]

They should play this over the loud speaker at all the hospitals .

[@karengonzalez2670]

one of the best songs ever!!!

[@TheKinseth]

This was one of my favorite songs before I ended up in the hospital, and afterward it's taken on new meaning for me. Still one of my favorite songs, from one of my favorite bands.

[@CrimsonGlory999]

has anyone else been so depressed for so long that it transcended emotion itself and a feeling of contentment ensued?

[@Chuckwoweveryday]

Yeah man, welcome to reality.

[@TheTenthWave]

Peace in acceptance.

[@BellumCarroll]

You stop caring at some point, and end up laughing about it.

[@danielchiniewicz1747]

First thing i did was sing...country music.lol...i didnt even like country music....but then i was down a dirt road with no place to call home

[@randalmcvandal8307]

Man, this is real.

[@mfield040491]

I was today years old when I found out that the florence and machine version is a cover after all these years 😭 This is so good 😂

[@christopherbarber5283]

Over ten years After this song still fuckin kills it. Also I happen to be in a hospital bed as I write this

[@viewwithmchugh]

it's like a mix between white stripes and the racounters, the guy that siad the singer takes away from the sadness is wrong otherwise thise would just be a lyricless song that no one knows about. its top class glad i found it

[@thiasns]

I just found this band! I know I'm kinda late, but their music is so, so good! :D

[@reviewedscene]

i found this song through the scrubs advert too, and then i bought their album. fantastic.

[@TasteMyMelee]

Ah, this song reminds me of the coffee shops in Lithuania. Best hangout spot in the world.

[@vardenispavardenis9428]

***** why ?

[@stumpythedestoyer]

Cold War Kids have the best music videos.

[@BendenRider]

Video complements the song and tells a seperate story. Excellent.

[@regerhetka3185]

It's sad to think this was the song that got me into Cold War Kids and i've found it through e-dubble and now he's dead.

[@shicklaur]

i am addicted to this song.. it has become one of my all time favourites

[@vickymarie000]

a band that surely needs more recognition. amazing.

[@demonata777]

this is the song that goes through my head every day, the song that makes me happy, the song that helps me make it through. this is the song that makes me love music more and more.

[@nikosnikolas1205]

There's nothing to do here Some just whine and complain In bed at the hospital Coming and going Asleep and awake In bed at the hospital Tell me the story Of how you ended up here I've heard it all in the hospital Nurses are fussin' Doctors on tour Somewhere in India I got one friend Laying across from me I did not choose him He did not choose me We got no chance of recovery Sharing hospital, joy and misery The joy and misery, the joy and misery Put out the fire boys, don't stop don't stop Put out the fire on us Put out the fire boys, don't stop don't stop Put out the fire on us Bring your buckets by the dozens Bring your nieces and your cousins Come put out the fire on us Vietnam fishing trips Italian opera Vietnam fishing trips Italian opera I got one friend laying across from me I did not choose him, he did not choose me We've got no chance of recovery Sharing hospital joy and misery The joy and misery The joy and misery The joy, the joy, the joy, misery Put out the fire boys, don't stop don't stop Put out the fire on us Put out the fire boys, don't stop don't stop Put out the fire on us Bring your buckets by the dozens Bring your nieces and your cousins Come put out the fire on us

[@zXSynesterXz]

Some of my best memories are with the song. I love you cold war kids!

[@strictlycasual765]

After nearly losing my leg to thinking injecting heroin into my groin for years on end was a wise move, I was hospitalised for about 2 month total, which was 2 operations........I made 'friends' with the old fellas and made sure they got seen before I did even while in agony..... 3 of them died within weeks , it was grim as fuck.......All I can think about is them when I hear this tune and how it hit the nail on the head with its accuracy

[@needyourname438]

vietnam, fishing trips, italian opera

[@sauditate4562]

Sidenote , italian ice cream is excellent..but they dont call it ice cream i forgot how to say it in italion lol..laterz..🤣

[@justinrabenberg5295]

Gelato

[@erickagrabski3571]

Love that line, makes sick people in hospital human, people outside of the hospital once full of life and so experienced, now to just die

[@xchump]

i've got one friend....one of the best lyrics and vocal melodies for years

[@toonfox7021]

[@WilliamSmo3000]

This is amazing. His voice is golden. I find it amazing the experience that is apparent in this song. This is my kind of story.

[@HistoryandGeopoliticsHub]

e-dubble uses most of this in one of his remixes

[@boxiwastaken]

The song's called Night Table in case you wondered. #TTR

[@robrechtmathues]

When I was a kid, my great grandma was in the hospital, and she was on a sector for non recovering patients, it was such a sad period for my family, this song brings me back..

[@lori9885]

As a hardcore Florence fan, i love this version much more.

[@MrSkateboardbassplay]

Lori well, this is the original!

[@danielvalleduarte]

Lofl

[@allywelch1274]

I much like florence

[@asylumental]

More? Nahhh. But I enjoy it as it's own thing... but anything florence sings will be better because Florence's voice..

[@LaughingOutKraut]

I'm not only amazed by this song, but also astounded by it's lack of fame, as it might be just the one to fill in the gap between those who deliberately listen to GOOD music and those that are just looking for a catchy song.

[@nouveeau]

E-Dubble :D

[@jerichiwriter]

This song will always remain a favourite! Such a wonderful song...thoughtful and beautiful. I love this song and The Cold War Kids!!!!!!! "Vietnam fishing trips, Italian opera" :D

[@Rmexican25]

Yeah this is one of those myspace songs you just had to be there to feel it

[@scarlettb23]

One of the best vidoes i have seen in a long time. I am intoxicated with this band. Greatness pure insanity.

[@Alyson6000]

Damn, i really this song

[@ethomson201]

i really this too

[@margoulin81]

ethomson201 so I really song this

[@pandecoco2245]

Vietnam fishing trips, I really song this Vietnam fishing trips, I really song this

[@rachelewhatever]

i was in 3 different hospital for over a month- i was told id never walk again and I almost died twice because septicemia which i got due to a nurses incompetence, then had 6months of intense physiotherapy. i managed to make a full recovery-i can walk! and the whole experience, although terrible, has made me stronger. Like the saying- what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I wish you all the best SunshineCasy.

[@Properdrainage]

This speaks to many

[@xmalx22]

this has recently become one of my ALL TIME favorite songs! it sends shivers up my spine every time i listen to it. and this music video....so cool!

[@FOSHIZZELL100]

I feel like the music video didn’t even come close to visualizing the emotional power of this song, but I find that often in 2000s music vids for some reason.

[@प्यारदिल]

I prefer this version over Florence's.

[@Lvillliers]

This is! The version

[@345345345rtrt]

I never knew this was a cover. Wow

[@RyannRiot115]

I love this song and CWK. I also love F+TM. I think the cover she/they did is also quite brilliant. Hopefully I'm not the only one that appreciates both. That would make me sad.

[@clooky04]

wow. i never quite understood that vid, and a lot of people keep asking what it means. i never knew some of those lyrics, but i think you've nailed it! now the song is even better, though a little sadder.

[@Seabearr]

these guys are a just little something called AWESOME.

[@SunshineCasy]

@rachelewhatever I'm sorry to hear that you were that sick, especially by nurse's incompetence! Hospitals are sadly often understaffed with nurses, so they have a tendency to be sloppy with other people paying for their mistakes. I have had several brushes with sepsis myself, pains me to imagine someone else with it. I am glad to hear that you can still walk, and I hope you're doing well today.

[@jomihaka]

I'm at work and I just replayed this song for 2 hours straight.

[@jekk23]

I was in hospital recently. I wisht I'd listened to this.

[@OlayKing]

Florence And The Machine brought me here.

[@saintbabylon7250]

How do like hearing the rawness, heart & imperfections that only the writer & creator of the could produce than Florence's over produced machine cover? I was telling some other commenter who said this one sucks & Florence sings it better that obviously they never created art before & if they have then they would never say that. She might sound better but that's because she can focus more because It's not as emotional for her. These guys are nearly bleeding form the heart which is perfect for me despite the flaws.

[@LooneyBin17]

Did this person say this sucks?

[@swimmingagainsttheti]

through yourlover are talking about her "overproduced" cover in which she sings by herself with an acoustic guitar for accompaniment?

[@johns1012]

this song is fantastic.. everything about it.. the video, lyrics, music is amazing

i have loved this band since they first came out saw them live once was a killer gig rock on

[@smalmaguer]

I've been listening to this song for years, and within those years, I'd found myself in the psych ward at a hospital. This song soothes my recollection of that time. "There's nothing to do here, some just whine and complain. In bed at the hospital... ...I've got one friend, laying across from me. I did not choose him, he did not choose me."

[@leebeer]

tune!!!! i never relised the vietnam, fish and chips lyrics. its even better now! thanks

[@jdbryant00]

The bridge in this song is outta control. Goddamn soul

[@banks3388]

I was watching an episode of The Good Doctor where they played Fist for a Kiss and I knew it didn't sound right at all...

[@Konstantineuk]

I agree i heard this on Scrubs advert and couldn't get it out of my head

[@scober69]

love the sound of a constant drone of chords, there need be no changes fair citizens to music to make it great, only a sound of pure originality and endearing pleasure

[@comopajarosperdidos]

I agree. I love this band. A whole fresh sound
