The greatest band that no one has ever heard of. Man what I'd do for a new Arc's album

[@brna00]

I have great news my friend

[@timverrecchia1654]

There is a new album but no richard swift R.I.P

[@0401asdf]

I first heard this song 7 years ago and its still as good as on day one

[@eriettak4629]

dan's voice is eargasm

[@Rommana1994]

erietta k I know omg 😭

[@dylang3413]

This is one of Dan's smoothest numbers.

[@ethandanner487]

Between the amazing music and beautiful art style, its hard to imagine that the arcs haven’t gained that much attention or at least as much as they should.

[@Peeoto]

Because the dude died

[@znmcg]

@@Peeoto Dan not dead your dead 💀

[@ThirdEye387Gaming]

Yeah this song is very under rated imo

[@Dogman_35]

@@znmcg Not Dan Auerbach, Richard Swift. He was with The Black Keys, but he was a bigger part of The Arcs apparently. It's pretty sad...

[@Uninspired.Spectator]

@@Dogman_35 damn Richard swift died? That’s hurts. Dirty Jim was my favorite of his

[@Happystarfishoficeland]

"if they're gunning for you boy, you've already won"... Love this song and the layering over the bass...

[@ryantemple8417]

I hate everyone ragging on Dan's new music. turn blue is awesome I get it the sound changed.. its really good! enjoy the progression of their musical journey! #getoverit

[@ryantemple8417]

this song is amazing

[@erica2656]

Ryan Temple Turn Blue was the culmination of everything The Black Keys had been working toward for years. It was perfect.

[@micahamyx]

Ryan Temple I agree with you so much! It's hard to find someone who likes Turn Blue.

[@paythewittness]

+Micah Amyx i love turn blue. more than any of my friends for sure

[@micahamyx]

Sirius Remphan What's your favorite song off of Turn Blue?

[@shelbydriscoll9219]

“In the dark” thanks so much

[@tawnygaona9114]

In the Dark brought me here. Hate that I’m late to the party, but happy to be here.

[@gutierrezcaxias]

my face is melting for the bass tone!!!

[@rayhoodoo847]

as I observed, getting high doesn't help it very much

[@brunoramirez2602]

Around 3:09 you become completeley liquid

[@misssoutherland3372]

Loving the bass line

[@SevenFootPelican]

It's so good. It's so authentic. Like going to a hole in the wall whiskey bar in the city in the evening with your good friends.

[@falperes8754]

this is right along the list of songs who will be with me untill my last breath

[@f.b.i7408]

Felt that bro, felt that 😔

[@dan01399]

I immediately fell in love when hearing it for the first time! They deserve way more attention instead of all that badly produced shit which is playing nowadays...

[@Whol3NothaL3v3l]

Super interesting video! For people who say they don't understand the video, I'm sure I missed something too, but for the most part it just seems to be about a guy and girl who are in love. There was a boxing match that was fixed, he was supposed to win but he lost. They cut off his arm for loosing. The woman retaliated and they escaped. The bad guys catch up with them later, bust in the hotel room shooting at which point her lover takes a bullet. She thinks shoots herself before they can kill her. I think this video is one of those things you understand the more you watch it. I know I'm gonna watch it again later. Its pretty cool!

[@indie-n]

Listen to tomato can by them for the full story

[@jessclark9013]

Do you think this is related to tomato can and stay in my corner or it's own thing? I think it has to be but I'm confused because in tomato can he's paid to lose not win so why be punished for it? Unless the other guy was the tomato can and refuses to loose as in the lyrics of tomato can. Just curious on your thoughts

[@paulinagamboa8165]

The city street is hot The heat is escalating Every corner in the town There's a paycheck waiting Put a flower in your pocket If you seem them boy, you drop it And you run, run They may pretend they like you But man's best friend will bite you Just for fun, fun If they're gunning for you boy, you've already won I had a dream today About a hustle lost He paid his dues Then he paid the cost Wish I knew back then All I know right now Things would be much different Than time has allowed Put a flower in your pocket If you seem them boy, you drop it And you run, run They may pretend they like you But man's best friend will bite you Just for fun, fun If they're gunning for you boy, you've already won With tired eyes and bills to pay You gotta make it through another day The streets can see into your soul It ain't where ya been but where you're gonna go Put a flower in your pocket If you seem them boy, you drop it And you run, run They may pretend they like you But man's best friend will bite you Just for fun, fun If they're gunning for you boy, you've already won

[@muradlekov3679]

the fuck does to "seem them" mean? isn't it "if you see them"?

[@mrswagalicous7023]

Well that must have taken a while. Thanks mate

[@miriamzepeda6445]

Such a brilliant and beautiful video. Omar's unique style is astonishing, keep it up!

[@gsus723]

+miriam zepeda i can make a better video illustration is trash Instagram: [e-mail]

[@curtisdeese7713]

+Alberto Rosas a real artist doesn't need to put down a fellow artist to make him/herself appear better...

[@gsus723]

go check out my work, well it is the truth, i am no putting down his work though i am saying i do a better job

[@curtisdeese7713]

Alberto Rosas alright, cool

[@quetzalcoatlcortes]

+Alberto Rosas "Illustration is trash" sure sounds like you are putting down his work. Let me tell you that if the illustration quality is the most important artistic thing you noticed about this video then you are completely missing the point.

[@omarvilla3986]

I freaking love this song the arcs are such a great band

[@tutkuayaz5978]

SAMEEEEEE

[@Shabbachubbs]

I'm really starting to dig Auerbach's new "side project" 👍

[@Ephunker89]

Wow, just wow. I have heard this song multiple times, but I put on my headset to get some work done and had to stop what I was doing with my eyes closed just to hear it at the best quality and let it hit me square in the chest. Great stuff, beautiful sound, masterfully done.

[@romanramirez9342]

I’ll call keep keep kk

[@bcjhen64]

Dan never ceases to amaze me. Man this is some tune!

[@PhillieDXO]

I was drawn in by the amazing artwork

[@BIGPUN4EVER]

How am I just now hearing this song 🔥

[@jessicaa255]

I hear 90s trip hop (the ride cymbal and snare with that bass line) along with the 70s influences. They're blending genres and making their own sound, I dig it. ❤

[@bahggrabklan9442]

I LOVE THE ARC

[@reyh1469]

I can’t get over this song damn ittttt

[@slothsong080]

I never thought I could fall in love with a song so fast. Everything from the bluesy Dan Auerbach style of the song to the awesome style of the sad video that follows the lyrics in such in a deep way. I can't help but listen to the song like a billion times more.

[@francisgonzales6274]

Out of the three songs released, this is the best one by far; I've been listening to this song non-stop for the past few days. If the rest of the album sounds like this, I can't wait to hear it.

[@timverrecchia1654]

RIP Richard swift who died 2018 which means its highly unlikely any more music is gonna be released. He was the song writer..

[@PaulAllPro]

Oh 😢

[@adrianavieira4503]

MARAVILHOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@f.b.i7408]

[@Clonez-sr7to]

This song makes me feel things.

[@mykelljovelle8333]

i remember this being played live and everyone started groovin to this one and said later.. ya know this song is gonna be a hit. i didnt check the charts but i dont doubt that it was!

[@tdiddle8950]

"If they're gunning for you, boy, then you've already won." Only when we show extraordinary traits do they target us, so when you're a target, you've already transcended the norm, and thusly "won."

[@kennygold217]

I just started listening to this band about a month ago and I'm not stopping they got a hell of a journey

[@ewop313]

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!!! GOOD MUSIC DOES EXIST!!!

[@danielleperea]

This is brilliant. Love the video and symbolism of this song.

[@orlandolucero1183]

Still a banger

[@ChrisDorgan]

This is the best tune they've released for us to hear so far. Loving the vibes man!! I wish I had a Series 1 drop top E Type Jaaag or an old Aston Martin or even an Alfa Romeo 8C with this tune playing as I drive along the riviera, stopping at places like St Tropez & Monte Carlo haha! As for Dans tastes in music, the Black Keys have always been eclectic with their music always stated old school rap, hip hop, soul, motown, blues and all kinds of other influences. Keep it Hid was an amazing departure from what they had done so far with the Black Keys. I loved the first few albums to death, the live shows were amazing but then Brothers dropped, at first I didn't get it but then the soul vibe on it is awesome. Have I enjoyed the more recent albums... not as much I must admit but they're all still interesting sonically. This, I have a feeling is gonna be a throw it on a chill, soak up the soundscape kind of album and I can't wait to listen to it uninterrupted from beginning to end and then I really hope the Black Keys come back and melt our faces with some downright dirty blues tunes just for old times sakes haha!

[@micahamyx]

Chris Dorgan Sorry to say it, man, but I don't think they'll be going to back to their old stuff. Which I'm fine with, don't get me wrong, I love their old stuff. But four albums is enough, it would get to the point that if they made a similar album, it might not sound original, like their old stuff did. I personally love their newer stuff, Brothers being my favorite, and I can't wait to see where they push themselves to on the next album.

[@ChrisDorgan]

Micah Amyx Ai, realise they won't be doing the albums like they used to. My favourite album is actually Chulahoma, followed by Brothers probably just because it has elements of their old selves but also brought in some soul kinda vibes. I just wanted a slightly more dirty sound from them again, the new stuff has had a pop polish :P I say the same thing to my mate, four albums is enough, just put them on if that's what you want to hear haha. Still we're allowed to miss the days were it was a couple of hundred to a thousand person venue and it was just Dan n Pat rocking it, splattering you with their sweat you were so close haha! I do miss those days. I got free tickets from Dans dad to their El Camino tour in the arenas and it was still brilliant, but it must be how parents feel when they have to let their kids go to uni haha!

[@micahamyx]

Chris Dorgan Just as long as you're respectful of them. So many times I've seen people saying "F*ck The Black Keys, they're sellouts now" "Why don't they go back to just two of them". And they're basically saying "I want The Black Keys to stay in this little box, where they don't get to try new things, where they play stuff that I want them to play, where they're unhappy, but as long as I'm happy, that's all that matters"

[@ChrisDorgan]

Micah Amyx I'm glad you're here to slap the non-believers into shape ;) of course I'll be respectful of them. I love 99% of the work they do. Not everyone is perfect and we are of course allowed to not like some bits and bobs. But even their (imo) worse albums have at least two or three absolute tunes on them so, that's all that matters haha. Bit like Jack White, I love a lot of what he does across the broad spectrum of Bands he's been in but he sometimes misses wildly. Doesn't mean the whole albums bad just those particular songs. Either way these songs sound great, I've seen some reviews on itunes and people are saying "where's the get up and go" and it's like dude... it's a different band, a different vibe. It's gonna be different and it's gonna be boss once you can sit down with whole album and just listen to it from song to song!

[@micahamyx]

Chris Dorgan Yeah, that's the problem. They're not sitting down and listening to it. It's hard to get a grasp of an album if you just throw it on as background noise, ya' know?

[@edbanshee.mp3]

[@willie6466]

You know how when you shazam a song because you need to find out who just made your pulse skip a beat? That. And then much later finding out it's a musician whose other outfit was a 🔥 band back in the early oughts? So here I am. The Black Keys had such great, grungy, gutsy blues vibes. Refreshingingly in your face. I guess you just move through bands so I sorta wandered away but I'm so loving where he's gotten with this.
