The Afghan Whigs - Algiers [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

[@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

[@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

[@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.

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

[@brianm7402]

I can’t even explain how much I love this song. It just has something so unique. And of course, it reminds me of that episode of Ray Donovan.

[@dougzart]

I'm here for the afghan whigs, one of the most underrated bands of all time.....

[@johnboylan3832]

Yeah, a video titled 'The Afghan Whigs - Algiers [OFFICIAL VIDEO]' on their publisher's channel would be the place to go...

[@dougzart]

@@johnboylan3832 Yeah, that's what i figured. turns out I was correct!

[@lucaa.7344]

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 !

[@johnboylan3832]

No-one cares.

[@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

[@GKW76]

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

[@RondoHunter3.14]

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.

[@shishibella3348]

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

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

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

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

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

[@chrisspeak7547]

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

[@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.

[@GKW76]

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

[@HollywoodColt]

Greg's voice is bone chilling. Love the Whigs

[@vickychen3533]

[@zhangchongzhi467]

My life is never complete without a bit of Dulli/Whigs intertwined into it. Great to have you 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!!!

[@LaurenceMoore]

The Last true Rock Star.

[@bojanbošković1984]

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.

[@tibsyy895]

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

[@rachevgeorgi5161]

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

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.

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.

[@jdinkaledgemorgoon2085]

I'm sure you're awear of the new riders of the purple sage, Garcia started that band,and played pedal steel until buddy cage replaced him. The band was started in 1970 I saw that many times and I'm a very big fan, I met the band at the lone star cafe, we partied until 5am and management kick us out they had all kinds of good things to party with. I was buying beer all during the show for lead singer John Dawson,so we were invited back stage. It was a major highlight of my life.

Algiers The Afghan Whigs Algiers lyrics Flamed, the time when nearly changed 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 So, so simple when you know You know this when it's time to go Strange, the sooner you leave behind Lonely as you sold paradise Scream, the body leaves the bone To sit upon the throne A better waits for life Dream, dream your sins away Sing your dreams away You're holding back, still holding back Algiers Huh Say you love me tonight Save you love for me tonight And I feel you now I lie awake on the way of love And I feel But I Heavenly daemons outside my window Sent here to see me outside this world I call the shadow, you call the season That's all it takes A tous un grand bonjour d'Alger en Algérie For all of you hello from Algiers in Algeria

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 roam On the back streets It's oh, so simple when you know You'll know this when it's time to go Stray And soon you'll leave behind The loneliness you've sown Paradise leans Scream The body leaves the bone To sit upon the throne The battle waged for light Dream Dream your sins away Sin your dreams away You're holding back, stop holding back Unchain! Say you'll love me tonight Save your love for me tonight And I feel you now Lie awake and love drunk I feel you now Heavenly daemons outside my window Sent here to see me outside this world I call the shadow, you call the season That salted wound... i call the shadow you call the season. ode to mark lanegan?
