nearly 2 years ago, by chance, I clicked on this video. My life changed forever that day. long live gaslight anthem x

[@EpicTaleMedia]

Look at the pause after that song, he poured all that he had into those lyrics. This is why he is and always will be my favorite. Brian Fallon is a living legend.

[@Randelawe]

Coming back to this rendition for the last 13 years… holy crap how the time flies. I’m not sure if life imitates art, or if art imitates life, but I’ve never had this song ring more true than at this moment. Thank you TGA. You’ve made my life (at the very least) more interesting.

[@dwade4MJ]

HIS VOICE. that raspiness. Kills me every time.

[@Stuttsy]

This always makes me think of my parents. Mom has been gone 7 years now, and Dad has been gone 4. Something about these lyrics just makes me think of their simple small-town sensibilities and common sense wisdom. This song puts a lump in my throat, but it always helps me remember them which I think is a net positive.

[@joedoherty4570]

I got goosebumps listening to this. I don't think it's fair on other musicians how good Brian Fallon is,

[@dcdude171]

i love that he just stares after the song is over , like taking it what he wrote

[@MrHenrick1]

He's getting better at singing live. This is phenomenal.

[@miakay3403]

This intense barrage of nuance and painful accusatory power. In the literal sense awesome

[@TheZombieBlonde]

"I got your name tattooed inside of my heart" ^.^ I need a moment.

[@vonpirosproductions]

befor i go to bed i have to hear this beautiful man . he makes me feel that , i am ok .

[@123Fiishii]

a new 'boss' is born.. just amazing! :)

[@dave-o4157]

In 2013 I was leaving Camp Lejeune, NC when I heard this song. I pulled over on the side of the road and cried because it resonated with me so much. Of all the things I went through, all i wanted to speak to my father. But he had died in 2007. I still listen to it to this day.

[@cash1927]

Think I have commented on this vid about 5 times now but by fuck does it get under your skin! Great song and he sings it with such raw emotion. Amazing. Seeing them in Belfast, Northern Ireland on 22nd November 2010. Get in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CalamityCain]

I've yet to decide whether his guitar or his voice is more beautiful. I love this performance :)

[@snkebyte]

The rare opportunity to capture an artist in the middle of their craft. This is as gorgeous as any sunset, snowstorm, or crisp fall day that I've ever seen. I'm humbled to see what were all truly capable of. Normally by comments go to a Pearl Jam or a Springsteen video. But at this point, they are all the same. They are artists, sharing beauty with the world. And even when that art stings us someplace ugly, it's still absolutely gorgeous.

[@justanotherloser8198]

Man, I just love Brian's vocal range. It can go from being high, raspy and intense, to low soothing and smooth in a heartbeat

[@EggNoggDreams]

im in love with this dude

[@d91293]

This is the first time my eyes got watery when listening to a song. I didn't cry but I want to, and for that I thank you.

[@michaelbrown3328]

I recommend listening to this first, then the version live in Asbury Park 2011 with Bruce Springsteen joining in...Pure magic either way!!

[@texashookem22]

SOOOOO refreshing to hear a modern songwriter in the vein of Paul Simon and Jackson Browne, lyrics brimming with substance, not just crap that rhymes. I wish youtube had a repeat function that I didn't have to push each time! Love this

[@paddymanchris]

This man has so much natural talent it is unbelievable. I love how it just instantly gets intense!

[@katieleighhughes]

my favourite ever acoustic version he has done of any of heir songs

[@Rockstar14313]

this song speaks to my soul....brings me to tears....love him.

[@ruiamsoru]

I love the Paul Mcartney-esque guitar. So much soul and reflection on the past, present, and future.

[@dragon53777]

His voice gives me chills along with his great heartfelt lyrics.

[@kentcherevaty4083]

Brian, you give me faith and inspiration. You make me believe in music

[@facedontfit]

Most important band since the clash, especially with all the music based around image right now and electronic groups like la roux, little boots, florence & the machine, enter shikari etc its so refreshing to hear just honest working mans music. The imagery fallon conveys in his lyrics is second to none. Just whack 59 sound on as your driving down the road in the rain one night & you'll see what i mean.

[@katieleighhughes]

this is one of my favourite covers of their songs he does, amazing.

[@paddymanchris]

Such a fantastic MUSICAL artist. Pretty rare when you find someone like this in the music industry.

[@leeboysouth]

Watching this on Sept 10th 2011 and for some reason it makes complete sense.

[@andrewniwdog]

i've been big into gaslight since the 59 sound, they're a huge part of my life now. I went back to senor and the queen ,sink or swim etc.. and its really cool seeing the band progress. and brian in particular, its almost as if he found his voice. from honest punk roots to this big rock n' roll voice he has now. Big respect

[@ctr36096]

It's people like Brian Fallon that make me wanna do something useful and helpful in my life .

[@stayfit251]

i love this band

[@mresplendent]

This is great. He has gotten so much better performing and singing acoustic. Amazing.

[@Elliotd385]

This has got to be the most underrated band in the world, they are amazing.

[@omfern]

Touches my heart every time I listen to it.

[@frasercooper538]

makes me emotional every time I listen to it.

[@hessenmob1000]

this guy is rock´n roll,deep inside.he is real star, his voice, his look- wow

[@hessenmob1000]

it is just beautiful

[@Oaklley]

what a beautiful guitar

[@MrHammond81]

Going watching them at The Apollo in November cant come quick enough!!!!!

[@cdudeNYR]

i liked them since they released their first album. took three years for them to be recognized by the media... ABOUT FUCKING TIME. possibly their best album, too. Except nothing can or likely ever will replace the '59 sound as the most emotional song i've heard since "Atlantic City" by Bruce. Love these guys, and glad people are starting to hear about them.

[@GoToGuyLord]

nothing like watching your favorite band grow

[@CutToRibbons]

@ConorMTM He's actually tattooed on both sides of his neck. Famous lyrics: "Bell Bottom Blues" / "You Made Me Cry" ;)

[@joshuascott7321]

♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@barberina91]

everytime i watch this video i get goosebumps all over..

[@Filbunkish]

I hope everyone is excited for his side-projekt The Horrible Crowes. The debut album "Elsie" is due out September 6! "Behold the Hurricane" was great.

[@stuy101]

i had lost all hope in modern music until The Gaslight Anthem came around!...like in fairness all i listened to was bands from back in the day like springsteen and the odd "new" band like foo fighters but Brian Fallon is the best songwriter of the this generation even century. They dont have one song i would skip by without listening to it! now that says alot!!

[@thereason54]

This is amazing! It's pure and honest! This guy pours his heart out in this performance.

[@jmulhall86]

absolutely brillance !

[@hessenmob1000]

i´ve just missed their gig in hessen. it is amazing hope to see them next time.

[@JackCooksonMusic]

[@vonpirosproductions]
