The Gaslight Anthem - Dark Places (Audio)

[@michaelallan7133]

I remember when I first properly listened to this song. I was going through a pretty emotional time with my family and with my love life. And I remember I just started bawling like a fucking baby. And it makes me well up when I listen to it now. Knowing that there's someone somewhere out there that's feeling just like me makes me feel a lot less alone, I suppose. Thank you Brian and co. for creating the most relevant album ever!

[@johncogger9897]

I feel you brother

[@ToddTondera]

here to say that's where i am now.

[@greglee91]

By far and away the standout track of the album. Incredible

[@liampezzano]

Brian Fallon always seems to say things that reach deeply into what I'm feeling, and I am incalculably grateful that The Gaslight Anthem lets me shout in the car without it being totally quiet.

[@mikemcgowan7278]

Had this song stuck in my head for days, had to give it a blast. Love this band so much. Can't believe how underrated they are, they should be playing sell out stadiums and have number one albums. These guys do not make bad records. Fantastic live as well.

[@jordanmayer5932]

I'm a death metal and stoner/doom metal type of guy, but this band has a special place in my heart. They are so cohesive as a unit live, and they have such a fresh sound, they really proved to me that true rock and roll isn't dead. If you have not seen this great band live you are truly missing out.

[@Jaydischord74]

Fuckin right.

[@LzyGMRS]

Jordan Mayer In the same boat lad, just can't hate this band!

[@sakwes00]

+Jordan Mayer your comment really touched me. especially the "they really proved to me that true rock and roll isn't dead".i fell in love with the band the moment i heard American Slang about 4 years ago...

[@jordanmayer5932]

Chinedum Osakwe Thanks, i know right, this band and a few others such as FIDLAR and All Them Witches and the black keys have all proved that rock is still alive and well. Its a genre that can never be killed off due to the unity of its fans.

[@Altarofdoom]

+Jordan Mayer true this, & this is also how i feel about Dax Riggs over everything, check it, i bet you'll be into his stuff c:

[@HannahMillar111]

I am so not disappointed at all. Thank you, Gaslight.

[@weakweek85]

People got worried for nothing. I think they get better with each album.

[@CuriousCat1111]

This helped me when I was suicidal after leaving my last job... You guys really are magic. Thanks for helping keep this meatbag moving

[@ShaunCauser]

When you're in it, you don't see it. Toxic relationships hold blinkers to those involved. This song is the anthem for those people. I hope you get there with the right people everybody and everything falls into line for you. It did for me x

[@tylercaplan1225]

this song hits home for so many people trying to save a relationship that just isn't working. love can tear us apart and, sometimes, no matter what you do, you're crashing into the waves.

[@yadayada1663]

Tyler Caplan Yes, I completely agree.

[@Jere.]

Yeah

[@socioscorpio9791]

Yup.

[@666Eman66]

Everything Brian Fallon touches turns into gold.!! a couple of Molly and the Zombies songs would fit in so nicely on his album like long drives

[@5Pulpy]

Best song of Get Hurt.

[@kylekaulfers5241]

Dark Places, 1000 Years, Helter Skeleton, Red Violins, and Selected Poems has to be my favorite songs off this album. Great Job Gaslight Im very impressed with this album. Keep it up

[@martymcfly5528]

This song is absolutely incredible.

[@jordantropila7406]

If I thought it would help, I would drive this car into the sea. If the fire and the smoke and explosions could speak for me. If the words that I used to try to explain How something inside of me started to break. Ah, but one by one my words just got in the way. And how many nights did I crash against the waves With my head going under? How many days did I spend trying to see it your way? If you try you'd remember. I changed a change and kept on saying, "One of these days something inside's gonna break. And we won't get it back now, baby" (something's gonna break.) If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart. (If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart) And if I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart. (If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart) All of the things that I tried to explain, How something inside of me started to break. We were living proof, one by one we drifted away. One by one we drifted away. And time after time there were things that would scare me to tears, While you called me haunted. I paced around the bed where you laid. One of these days baby, something… (something's gonna break) And if I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart. (If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart) And if I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart. (If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart) All of the things that I tried to explain, How something inside of me started to break. We were living proof, one by one we drifted away… Drifted away… One by one and day by day, I became the dark in the places where you live. And if I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart. (If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart) And if I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart. (If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart) All of the things that I tried to explain, How something inside of me started to break. We were living proof, one by one we drifted away. One by one we drifted away. We were living proof, one by one we drifted away.

[@danozomatli8687]

Jordan, you have a good heart

[@kathyjacques2688]

My heart broke when I heard this. A horrible story but I appreciate it

[@backseatsurfer5005]

Thank you

[@weakweek85]

Sounds like a blast from the past. Like 28 year old Brian made a guest appearance. I think it's the bands way of saying "don't worry, we're still gaslight anthem" love this song!

[@LoveMUSIC-p7e]

This Song is underrated. It's one of their best song ever!!

[@stuntmanmike37]

This and Stray Paper are far and away the best tracks.

[@StudioAnomie]

I just wanna say "One by one and day by day, I became the dark in the places where you live" is some next level lyrics.

[@jlansdale536]

First time I listened to this song I was really floored. The lyrics really hit home.

[@joshuawulfman6749]

Having seen them play live, and having the opportunity to speak (however briefly) with the other bands they were touring with, this album is more meaningful than their previous work. It sounds more personal, and is far more raw than the previous albums. Add the fact that he recently divorced, began a separate musical project to experiment with new sounds, and you get a very different sound, from a very different man. It seems like Brian has gotten tired of telling the stories of "Maria" or "Virginia" and decided to start telling his own stories. I loved "American Slang" and "The '59 sound", and I loved "Handwritten", they will always be my favorite band... But they can't remain static. All good things will, inevitably, change. Realistically speaking, there will come a day when these guys will not be making music anymore, and all we will have will be these songs. Let's enjoy what they created, rather than compare it to the past.

[@tylercaplan1225]

Couldn't agree more. the other albums were solid and are amazing in their own ways. listening to them now compared to get hurt, it does seem like they were more indirect stories. this album has so much heart and soul oozing out of it and it's very clear what the songs are about. have mercy is my favorite

[@jimmyharmony1552]

one I found in a field full of flowers, a shimmering ocean color in your eyes, leaving my mind behind to learn more of your worlds, every tree more beautiful than the one before, must be a dream that I dreamt while awake

[@TedMcMahan]

I wish I was this eloquent at letting pain out.

[@JimmyH91]

it's funny, when this album came out I couldn't really relate to it, even though I was going through something similar. Now this year with some distance between me and those events, I just dig the hell out of it. Stay Vicious, Get Hurt, Underneath the Ground, Stray Paper, Break Your Heart, this song....so many bangers. Just a superb and ultra-relatable piece of work.

[@backseatsurfer5005]

Agreed

[@roycrowley2674]

New gaslight album yes please. I know their working on new material. Brian Fallon please keep writing even his solo stuff is great 😃

[@loujenkins3117]

this song hits home. absolutely brilliant guys!

[@sharky1304]

The competition for "Album of the Year 2014" is officially over!

[@backseatsurfer5005]

Yep! Still holds up to 2021

[@AbdulRashid-do7yp]

[@backseatsurfer5005]

✋me

[@22infection]

this should have been one of the singles

[@fredlawrence1923]

Its Gaslight and The Killers as the bands that helped me through it all

[@Kspad13]

Love it, all of the album! Love them!!! new and old

[@trevermounger]

Brian, thanks for for this🖤

[@markstephenson3670]

Still listening? I am

[@mrcauduro]

my god this song is so good it hurts! That chorus...amazing.

[@backseatsurfer5005]

IKR 6 years later couldn't be more true

[@altonharrison8213]

I so love this album still,,,can never go too long without listening to something on it

[@bernifitzsimmons176]

I broke up with someone amazing because of my mental health. I had to take some time away to fix myself. She was scared that during that time I’d find someone else but I kept myself to myself and worked on everything. Just as I felt I had reached the shore I got in touch with her yesterday and found out she’s with someone else now. I am completely fucking broken and this song with a fuck load of alcohol is the only thing getting me through tonight. Back to square one tomorrow.

[@markstephenson3670]

I get you

[@Winnychima]

Thank you.

[@claudiaberroa1212]

THIS IS SO GOOD

[@backseatsurfer5005]

HELL YEAH IT IS

[@forever212009]

Oh the happiness!! Love ! so in love.

[@markstephenson3670]

Still brutal. Still brilliant

[@eddiegeorge4047]

Just discivered Gaslight - very impressed - well done

[@Danny-gz8oj]

The Backseat part 2 and I love it!

[@cfssuperhero]

Hey! I always felt these two songs were very similar. Never seen anyone else say it.

[@lyineyes56]

Another Gaslight "anthem" good to be alive :-)

[@backseatsurfer5005]

:) nice pfp!!

[@rosalie331]

All of the things that I tried to explain, How something inside of me started to break. We were living proof, one by one we drifted away. 💔

[@jasonfortier8937]

So good.

[@rocker4life318]

I love this song!!!

[@bethanyholderman7112]

Omg more people to to find them this is amazing

[@rocker4life318]

Super awesome Song!!!

[@KITTYclaws10]

I cried when they played this at Cardiff last week lmao

[@mrkiller581]

Highschool sweetheart turned fiancée of five years left me today. I didn't change enough, or maybe I changed too much. Regardless, the pain I feel now is a thousand times worse than carving her name into my heart. I tried to hold on...

[@backseatsurfer5005]

Damn mate i'm sorry, are you doing okay now?

[@mrkiller581]

@@backseatsurfer5005 It's getting better. Sometimes when I'm alone I still get lost in tbe should have/ could haves, but I rarely shed a tear over it now. I've learned to accept that she'll always be part of my past and that I can't let her ruin my memories of the last 6 years.

[@tomxdamx]

This song is amazing :) Really I can clean my mind with mental trash and advance :)

[@mikegentry8852]

Awesome

[@backseatsurfer5005]

awesome indeed!!

[@lyineyes56]

Every Brian Fallon song say's something to somebody,Every song is somebody's favourite track on the Album,what do's this say about Brian Fallon 😎

[@rebelleader13]

Does anyone have the bass tabs for this song

[@methvennewzealand]

Oh yes.

[@backseatsurfer5005]

Oh yes!

[@jasonchearn]

this song sounds a bit like the goo goo dolls to me. love it, great album.

[@kathyjacques2688]

So much hurt I tried to save my malinois n my chihuahua n me too but it was no good. Something inside me started to break

[@rosswalker4461]

I love you Alexis Loving being here with you in Greece Mmmmwwwaaaahhh

[@backseatsurfer5005]

Lol

[@oregonflatland]

The only good song on an otherwise fucking terrible record. The only one that has an ounce of soul.

[@seanadams6371]

Try listening to Underneath the Ground.

[@YourMomentInTime]

Maybe look up what this record is about.

[@CanklesInKorporated]

Bobby Jude I disagree. You don't and shouldn't need context to decide whether or not you like an album. It should speak for itself. That being said, I like more than this song from this album.

[@fatkidinwalla]

There's a comment exactly like yours on every song of this album...

[@richman6947]

coming from someone who has never put or wrote a record or done anything positive in their life besides sit in moms basement and talk shit on the internet bravo douche
