[@karendalsadik7119]

@omar I thought so too! It has that mystery and otherworldliness of falling deeply in love. It has the longing of unrequited love and a love that never will be. That’s the most painful. It will eventually go away because the person you love is wasting your time. He is another’s slave and probably will never experience the real love you had for him. Heal.

[@joanna1935]

I travelled alone for 3.5 years. I had this ritual where I would play this song as the plane took off. I was always scared of flying. Scared of being alone in the world. This song brought me comfort.

Yes beautiful

[@shivang15]

The ending gives me goosebumps

[@vitoramadeu_sp]

@@shivang15 Dan is clearly so high that he's not able to perform the song. The musicians keep following him around without success. Also too many notes skipped, and others too many out of place. They just didn't made justice for the one rare live appearance of their best song.

[@jacquemitchell2899]

Vitor Amadeu Lol tha studio version has those “errors” too. And the fact that it’s not perfect makes it special. I don’t know, just seems like you don’t feel what other people do (and that’s not bad)

[@TheMatheusmoura]

That bass is right on the feel.

[@Plcdrum]

Too bad the drummer is not he rush so bad on the tempo on that live version. Even the cd version isnt strait at all but the tempo is somehow appropriate.

Dan Tech (playing the other guitar ) deserves some gratitude on this performance. Rip also to Richard what a great player he was .

[@adsyoffinch]

ADayAsWolves was just thinking that! The way they synchronised that solo, not many can pull it off so naturally.

That's he Dan Johnson? Awesome!

[@thezirons]

Wearing two guitars and switching off playing each one during the song looks just as awesome as it sounds!!

I've been watching this video over and over for probably a year and seen it climb in views just like it deserves, and right now It's about 10k away from a million so I'm claiming my "here before 1 million" ticket now. Hopefully, this means I'm not the only one madly in love with this performance 4 years after it came out.

[@veronicaara1824]

I heard this song live last year, and man this is pure melancholic.... Black Keys one of the best bands i've seen + Interpol + Portishead. No need to do a super show, they just have to come, take their instruments and make us fly.

[@armandocastillo9566]

I saw this on tv and became a fan at that moment. I googled the band's name on my phone and heard all their music that night. I remember thinking to myself, woowwww this sounds like a beautiful life-changing experience. Glad I got to watch history.

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

I was going to complain that it wasn't The Keys as power-duo that I'd become accustomed, but I decided not to complain 'cuz this expanded band performance really works, and I love how the other instruments fill-out the sound -- gives Auerbach's guitar a chance to breathe and not carry so much of the workload.
