I still Remember the day i listened this song on the radio for the first time. It was a late spring afternoon, the sky was full of light and i was driving my convertible on a road between the trees.. fallen in love, i still come here sometimes to listen . ..

[@tthreepointo8267]

What radio station plays the Whigs ? Omg !

[@aMacFanatic]

RAY DONOVAN BROUGHT ME HERE :) This has a really Old school 70's/80's rock feel. I love it!!!!!!!

[@ka0567b]

Same here

[@Tarawa1943]

Ditto! Come in Ray and tell me about your day.

[@nancyalis2]

Same here! Guitar reminds me of Tom Petty (Face in the Crowd). Excellent tune!

[@HalfTimesTwo]

Tell me about it. This song is incredible. It's great that there are some bands still out there that can pull off the 80's rock style. Damn, what a song.

[@23kutluhan]

Ray fucking Donovan! Broughy all us here

[@vickychen3533]

this song is way too underrated

[@bhm8204]

Absolutely!

[@prozacpeople]

And so fucking amazing! A masterpiece.

[@roelhoremans5887]

One of their best imho.

[@jrkchannel37]

Underrated by who???

[@sonnylosoya8651]

My hero, Ray Donovan. What a mother fuckin awesome family. Great series. Best since The Sopranos.

[@jayjayokocha19]

Dulli's voice hasn't lost a thing. Still great as ever.

[@fd9447]

I think I caught Covid at the Afghan Whigs concert this past Tuesday but it was worth it. They sound so great live

[@BoyfromSevilla]

this is why afghan whigs is one of my favorite bands, 16 years after their last album they come back with the same vibe and appeal but doing new stuff

[@twilightsinger42]

"Dream your sins away. Sin your dreams away..." 🎯

[@brookeyounh1459]

Damn this song is so catchy it's been stuck in my head for days, when I listen to it I can feel myself in the back of that limo

Hello beautiful Brooke❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@zenholographic]

At the age of 26 i had given up on ever hearing another life changing album..... Thank you afghan whigs I have been blown away.

how's life going mate?

[@aelxxxx]

what were the others one ?

[@mellowcorpsep6665]

thats something you shouldnt say until your deathbed

[@CurvyAries]

Whoever the music director is for Ray Donovan is amazing, they deserve an award. I've heard so much awesome music from that show. This song is hauntingly beautiful❤

[@gavintshepho9606]

I first heard on Ray Donovan 👍

Wow that’s crazy I’m re watching the series and caught this song at the end of one of the episodes , made me want to look it ❤ great song

I'm here because 8 heard it there and I had to listen to it again and again...... And again

[@zhangchongzhi467]

[@kellonrs8241]

I dont know why but this song runs through my mind at least once a week....I'm obsessed.

[@MagyarRose]

Thanks Ann Biderman for creating Ray Donovan, and turning us on to this fab sound.

[@coleyounger4665]

As with most Afghan Whigs stuff you should give it 3 listens before voicing an opinion on the song. Dulli is the greatest musical artist to come out of the 90's.

[@coleyounger4665]

im loving "it kills"

[@FieryFlamingFajitas]

I loved it after the first listen

[@JohnK-ph3vw]

This was an instant classic for me after the first minute. Greg Dulli has truly perfected the craft.

[@rondohunter8966]

I've heard it about 300 times. IMHO you are absolutely correct.

[@MontagTheMagician]

Pretentious horseshit is what it is. Maybe I should watch paint dry three times before I voice my opinion.

[@LoomisPC]

this song is fucking incredible. FUCKING INCREDIBLE god damn it.

[@shishibella3348]

Love from Algiers , Algeria .great song thank you ♡♡♡♡♡

[@kristinstever1190]

This is one of those magical songs that does what you want it to do and goes where you want it to go, all before you realize it.

[@socraticparadox7518]

This is music that you listen to as you look at a blood-red sunset on a black horse and turn to wave goodbye to your lover, because you're an outlaw, and an outlaw has to be alone. And as you cry silent tears you wave a gentle wave, and then ride into the unknown desert that's ahead as you try to comfort yourself by remembering that you didn't choose this life, it chose you.

[@BinaKhar]

[@austinvanb2941]

This line amazes me,"Dream..dream your sins away, sin your dreams awaaay...still holdin back!"

[@richardsanders3713]

Ray Donavon brought me here, this guy sing's this song "Algiers" with so much conviction! Fitting tune for this episode. Never herd of Afghan Whigs, I Love It!!!

[@bojanboskovic8880]

Music video inspired by a Clint Eastwood movie 'High Plains Drifter' (1973), in which a sheriff of a town called Lago gets whipped by a gang of gunslingers and outlaws hitting him with cattle whips, and he goes back as an avenging spirit and teaches them and the citizens who just stood by while he was whipped to death a lesson... And he tells the citizens to paint all buildings red and renames the town 'HELL' before the final showdown.

[@rochellepettijohn5167]

I am here because I am a fan of the Afghan Whigs. Not because of some TV show. But hey, whatever leads you to this great music is a good thing!

[@nataliebau6280]

Rochelle Pettijohn me too 👌

[@MikeyD22]

Yes, but thanks to Ray Donovan for the extra 500K views.

[@edfalconi5022]

Check out Morrisey. He's from the 80s. Music is like fashion. It always comes back around

[@HollywoodColt]

Greg's voice is bone chilling. Love the Whigs

[@Elissa66]

I can't get enough of this song... just been listening on repeat the last 24 hours since released... Magnificent. Can not WAIT to hear the rest of D2TB.

[@genocide420]

This song really grows on you, like a lot of 1965 I didn't really like it at first but then I needed to hear it again. The Whigs always amaze me.

[@JohnK-ph3vw]

They got me with the guitars...just the composition; it’s genius.

[@tiekbane]

Excellent song. Dulli's voice is aging and sounds better than the 90s.

[@dougzart]

I'm here for the afghan whigs

[@tibsyy895]

Me too :) ! Was watching Ray Donovan. Awesome song! Never heard this band before. Gonna check them out from now on!

[@HanlonRazor]

Very few things excite me. This excites me. A lot. I don't care what the video is. I'm a musician, I make, love, and listen to music. This is solid.

[@masonholder9496]

Did anyone else Shazam the shit out of the closing credits to Ray Donovan this week? :D

[@aMacFanatic]

No you lazy person. I memorized a lyric and googled it the old-fashioned way!!!

Ray Donovan thank you....and love the high plains drifter connection

[@rachevgeorgi5161]

I must say: Thank you Ray Donovan....the song is so good!!!!!!

[@darenamusic]

This music video is fully based on "High Plains Drifter" a western movie with Clint Eastwood from the 70s! Great music! Great Video! Great Band!

[@awkward1818]

damn this song gives me true detective vibes....man i miss that show

I haven't listened to these guys in years. just felt the urge. this song shows off some of their influences, like Roy orbison and the church.

Iam algerian and idk what this song has to with my country but i must say : this is a gem i found !

[@roomie4rent]

It's artistic license, though there is an Algiers, IN. The US borrowed lots of city names from other countries as people were settling further west. There's a Paris, KY, and Rome, NY, and Alexandria, VA - you get the picture.

[@BigAlKippy]

So glad to have these guys back on the scene after all this time; not content to rest on their laurels, but with a renewed vigor and sense of purpose that continues to define what these legends are made of and where they are going. Actually, Dulli never left the scene, he just comes out of hiding every once in a while to remind us who he is and why he gets better with age.

[@stephansong]

He's the best. So untreated. Thank God. We get more to ourselves.

[@guishenStreetB]

Faith, the diamond in the chain Still I was a slave Waiting to be saved Dream The body sleeps, but I Am not too proud to roll On the back streets It's oh so simple when you know You'll know this when it's time to go Stray Soon you'll leave behind The lonely past you've sold Paradise Scream The body leaves the bone To sit upon the throne The battle waged for life Dream Dream your sins away Sing your dreams away Your holding back Stop holding back a chain Say you love me tonight Save your love for me tonight And I feel you now I lie awake and love drunk I feel you now Heavenly demons outside my window Sent here to see my outside this world I call the shadow, you call the season That salted wound

[@Dahousto989]

2:38 and on is some of the most beautiful vocals I've ever ever heard.

Getting a band back together to record new music can be dicey business. Like Guided By Voices, its nice to see the Whigs reuniting with something legitimate to say...what a great tune.
