The Gaslight Anthem - National Anthem (With Lyrics)

[@dragonfile162]

I want to cry every time I hear this song. Greatest modern rock band out there!

[@OmieWise67]

It might not get the recognition it deserves through the media, but as a Gaslight fan I am proud that I know how great their music is and feel lucky that I can listen to them. I feel sorry for all the people out there who haven't heard them.

[@meme-yk6jn]

His music is my childhood. My dad listens to this a lot

[@RobertHadley-v9h]

The last song that I sent to a long distance friend of mine before she died...KELLIE VIZZO ROBBERTS 09/18/23 rest in peace my beautiful angel

[@icarrythearcadefire]

I must really thank NHL 13 for including "45" on its soundtrack, I had unfortunately never heard of these guys before, but after buying Handwritten I gotta say they're one of my newest favourite bands

[@nosmur]

Such an awesome song. Unfortunately, with all the garbage that now dominates popular music, a classic song like this will not get the recognition it deserves.

[@BruceGaslightAnthemFallon]

Who else will enjoy this for years and years? The vocals/songwriting from 1.56 - 2.17 is pure poetry, as good or better than anyone else in Fallons generation. This song is just incredible!

[@JULLZ182]

Discovered this band this year....love them. Can’t believe there were not a bigger deal....glad I found em

[@KevinTatum88]

The BEST Song ON THE ALBUM No DOUBT!!! Just Shows THERE STILL IS "TRUE MUSIC" STILL OUT THERE", This Should Be OUR NEW GENERATION'S "ANTHEM"! Beautiful Song!

[@midniteOG]

this song cant be more true in my life right now... girl friend drama, school bullshit, work bullshit, etc.... ill get through it with the lyrics of this song running through my head

[@frankneudeck6505]

One of best songs from the Gaslighters. I love this song and the band.

[@MrColoradorocky]

"What's left for God to teach from his throne? And who will forgive us when he's gone?" I don't believe an artist has ever described emptiness so eloquently before.

[@Alacrity01]

One of my favorite lines even though I am firmly agnostic.

[@barryfeatherstone2672]

this band has never done a bad song they are without a doubt my fave band ever

[@danielbonner8309]

Never

[@thewriter1008]

I think this is my new favorite Gaslight Anthem song.

[@Endakol]

Listen to this on strooms with your friends..life changing

[@irishboy664]

damn. best song on the album hands down, and one of the best ive heard this year

[@1208punk]

i just could listen to this voice all day long........all day long! puts me in a very enjoyable trance!

[@Dannyhughes1991]

Just discovered Gaslight Anthem and now im hooked...

[@unitedlover2k8]

[@liamwicks4692]

Stunning song. Good memories!

[@mrcauduro]

beautiful, just beautiful...

[@MrVmaniatis67]

excellent song...simple and beautiful

[@xgareth1]

I love this song so much

[@roxieklaus]

Every song they do is so impossibly perfect!

[@garrisonfjord]

Don't trust a perfect person and don't trust a song that's flawless.

[@fishnchips5826]

twenty one pilots-lane boy, right ?

[@Britpopsoul]

What's left to god too teach from his throne and who will forgive us when he's gone.

[@vincenttalley5938]

Anyone else get the chills?

[@markstephenson3670]

Every time

[@goldenageenthusiast]

This was a perfect ending to a perfect album.

[@tigrottoFS]

Actually not

[@goldenageenthusiast]

Handwritten was flawless

[@goldenageenthusiast]

Oh wow I never realized there was a Deluxe Edition!

[@sparkyspunk]

damn..... just how to music is all about... love it

[@LynnX9]

I love this album!

[@Bulameiner]

this song is incredible

[@mrpele8110]

Sounds nothing like I'm on fire, it sounds like the gaslight anthem at their very best, as always.

[@ccconfetti]

THEY'RE SO GOOD

[@VindictiveDesign]

"Now she just screams how I promised her more than this, take it easy baby, it ain't over yet" All this time on, I still think this is his best song

[@VindictiveDesign]

" Now everybody lately is living up in space, flying through transmissions on invisible airwaves". What an eloquent, space cowboy-esque way of talking about the "digital" life

[@joshturnerislegend]

great song, very springsteen, im on fire-esque

[@bloffo1]

I love this song

[@TheBazookaBunny]

Brian Fallon and Rivers Cuomo are some of the greatest song writers I know.

[@lyineyes56]

Springsteen Dylan The Gaslight Anthem enough said

[@Nagasaki54]

I have a feeling this is going to be a kickass acoustic version during some future Revival Tours, Imagine this with the fiddle and stand up base.

[@portermoop]

great song..

[@robbanks6683]

The last song I sent to a friend far away...she never replied...little did I know she was dying...rest in peace Kellie Vizzo Robberts 04/08/--09/18/23

[@Britpopsoul]

I already live with too many ghosts x

[@dedlius]

Ok, I know that Brian loves Bruce, and that's where all these comparisons are coming from, but honestly, this sounds way more like Bob Dylan, and I mean that in a very good way.

[@katherinestiletto]

Who else is enjoying this in 2019?

[@Punko1969]

Nope, 2020.

[@carolineeverts8992]

2020 and till the end of my days.

[@matttay9937]

shoot... im just finding out about it in 2020. randomly came across old mix-cds with "the backseat" on it.... and looked them up, and found this. i feel so old now.

[@katherinestiletto]

Don’t worry about it...it’s almost 2021 and I’m still in love with this song :)

[@aidanflood9789]

Me

[@KatGraves]

I never will forget you my american love

[@justindodrill6093]

This and Thirteen by Big Star are a perfect symphonic duo.

[@lyineyes56]

Great opener Bath and Cardiff ❤

[@AndyFromBlighty]

My interpretation of this is one of two things: 1. Its about a girl he loved, who broke his heart and he has to put it all behind him no matter how much it is killing him inside. 2, or, its about a girl he loved who died. I think this because of the line "I already live with too many ghosts" and how he refers to the girl in past tense. I know that could mean of when they were together, but I have a suspicion that is it.

[@mauricewilliams3144]

I already live with too many ghosts. dope

[@wyomingsmithstudios]

This song could be about Bruce Wayne/Albert in The Dark Knight Rises, or at least the first verse could be. It's my fave on the album and reminds me so much of Here's Lookin' At You Kid and I'm on Fire.

[@TheKei42]

I suspect that "too many ghosts" is more broad. I don't think it's about a girl who died. "Too many ghosts" probably just means that he's kept his heart open for too many past loves who he'll probably never see again. That said, he claims his heart is now closed to whoever this song is about in the line just before.

[@jlansdale536]

To that blonde haired, blued eyed Chester County Nomad. Baby, I wish you could see me now, love. Xoxox

[@markstephenson3670]

Wow. That is all.

[@justheretowatchvideos123]

I love you dad.

[@johnnyquid4357]

Who will forgive us when he's gone,

[@MrSausagess]

This sounds just like Bruce, yeah Bruce Lee! It's like a karate chop straight to the heart! :)

[@davidboselli8010]

Does he says throne or thrown?? 1:08

[@georgesalihu4787]

throne Son!!

[@GaaradancepartyX]

throne, thats the correct spelling for when you are talking about the chair of king and not the past tense of throwing

[@theschof96]

Reminds me of a cross between Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkle, and Bruce Springsteen.

[@marvinrichter7813]

find ich gut

[@sirpoopsalot1879]

Good song yes.

[@thewriter1008]

Second note: reminds me of "The Temptation of Adam" by Josh Ritter.

[@michaelkaufman1883]

Reunion shows need to happen! C'mon! Them with lucero and drive by truckers.

[@Brett1334]

yes

[@1962848]

Hammer Song

[@Heavenologist007]

wow

[@birdy26100]

Sa voix est émouvante.

[@LivinLegend316]

LOL everywhere I read everyone is comparing it to this song. I see the Bruce comparison, but many people are just stretching everything.

[@ronaldhawkins2895]

Is this an original song by gaslight?

[@Crispyfindus]

Yes it is

[@markstephenson3670]

Wow

[@tovar83]

bob dylan or not, this is one of the greatest rock ballads i have heard in a long time

[@demondays7]

who will forgive me since he's gone?

[@robholton2857]

i guess 4 people pressed the wrong thumb button, as i literally cannot comprehend how someone can dislike this.

[@wiecek13]

i found the perfect girl. she might have lived far away but she was great what happen i let my jealously get the best of me and fucked it up

[@matejewski]

There there bro. Did the same thing last week. Brohug.

[@TenSuns1914]

Did the same thing 11 years ago and 3 months ago we reconnected at Suwannee Hulaween and now we are soul mates. And others don’t.

[@hugeGDfan97]

take a listen to Bruce Springsteen "im on fire" you will change your mind

[@michaelbell75]

Ummm, no. The only similarities it has to "heres looking at you" and "I'm on fire" is they are all acoustic. Thats about it.

[@BruceGaslightAnthemFallon]

We need more Gaslight/Fallon songs in this tempo, personally I think 80% of their songs are better in a acustic version, like My Name is the Night for example, a mediocre album version, brilliant acoustic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/apSxnKWchJZ6jsU

[@progrockertom]

bloody lovely tune, sexy as ya like

[@lyineyes56]

Are there any songs better than this ? :-)

[@newenglandfb3995]

lyineyes56 there are so many good songs can't choose one that better lol there all good

[@markstephenson3670]

Nope

[@jdacadventures]

Holy. Sh-t.

[@MordekaiJames]

who cares what this song sounds similar to. im sure it was heavily influenced by some older artists but just enjoy it and stop complaining
