this is one of those songs that, if in the right mood, you can just play on repeat for an hour. imo

100% about a year ago I done that every day for 2 weeks at work, a year later exact same thing 👌

Listened to this a lot during winter time, now whenever I hear it I remember the darkness in my house, sitting by the fire place while it snowed outside the windows.

Curious why none of you go outside in winter? I personally hate winter; but music like this keeps me outside and living life.

[@megedzes5057]

I cannot even express how in love I am with The Lumineers. It's extremely rare to find a band that I love every single song of, and they've done it. They put so much thought into each song and I'm always mesmerised when listening to them. They sound even better live in the studio compared to the album version and that's certainly something special. Hats off to them.

[@emcicity3465]

i might be physically attracted to this song :/

Slow It Down The Lumineers LYRICS I feel her filth in my bones Wash off my hands 'til it’s gone The walls they’re closing in With velvet curtains Some love was made for the lights Some kiss your cheek and goodnight Lift up a red high heel Lock up your doors with steel They’re makin' noise in my street My blinds are drawn I can’t see Smashed in my car window Didn’t touch the stereo Slow it down, Angie come back to bed Rest your arms, and rest your legs Act like you’ve been here before Smile less and dress up some more Tie up your scarf real tight These boys are out for blood tonight Slow it down, Angie come back to bed Rest your arms, and rest your legs And when she stood, she stood tall She’ll make a fool of you all Don’t ask for cigarettes She ain’t got nothin' left for you I never, she never, we never looked back That wasn’t what we were good at And when it came to love We were not good enough uh huh Slow it down, Angie come back to bed Rest your arms, and rest your legs Don’t you frown when you’re feelin' like that Only love can dig you out of this.... I'm always looking for the lyrics to kinda sing along...😙😙😙

[@BlueMountainStudiosPhotography]

Appreciated, even though I listen to this song every week multiple times.

[@dragonmaster909]

Makes me think of this girl I used to love. I really thought we'd end up together. Grew up, realized love wasn't that magical happy ending like in the movies. I love her still, but we're on different paths now

[@germbean9705]

does the same thing for me man

[@brockjohnson3626]

I’m a white man. But I was adopted into a native house. This song reminds me of my moma. She was the best and I love her so much.

[@brockjohnson3626]

These boys are out for blood tonight

I listen to this everyday. Can't wait to sing my heart out in July in Utah. Every song is emotionally filled for me.

I didn't realize how amazing they were until this song came up

I've seen them live. They played this song :)

I can't wait to one day hear this song live. 2020 has been nothing but chaos.

[@kaisawheel6286]

Well, 2022 hasn't been any better.

[@zn6632u]

I heard it live in Nashville recently - made me cry

[@michaelcoronado3831]

One thing about the Lumineers is they sound good live and many artist sound horrible live. Good music !!

[@mackhomie6]

Michael Coronado I dunno, man. The majority of their life performances here on KZbin are pretty bad--vocally, at least. He sounds better in the live shows done in little studios, though

[@mackhomie6]

@Seeking Deliverance im not talking about the sound quality, I'm talking about his ability to sing on pitch. If anything, the monitors would be to blame if we need a scapegoat

[@greys410]

This song melts and breaks my heart at the same time.

[@stoney8664]

This is music on it's best. It's art and it's so, so, so beautiful.

[@thuhuynh7194]

I love how this song, Slow it down and Gale song speak truth to my heart. I once asked the person i loved if i am causing them a lot of burden because i am the type of person that may ask for too much in any kind of relationship ( if i felt like i was not treated good enough) and they said i was not a burden and went on explaining that they were just really busy for the past days so thats why they didnt reach out to me when i was missing them so bad hahaha. Anyhow, fast forward 6 months after that, i dropped the L bomb at the end of the call we had during new year's eve and they went on saying " okay, bye" and nothing further ( because i said Love you when we were about to hang up). the day after that they turned me down in a way that couldn't be more "embittered". We had a conversation about long-distance relationship and i said that i believe long-distance relationships would work out if the love is strong enough. Their words carved into my bones when they said to me that " there doesnt exist such thing as a strong love or not-strong-enough love, its just love or not love, because if you love someone you must already have been in a relationship with them by now", which meant that they didnt want to be in a relationship with me because they would have said ily back if i said those 3 words to them if they love me. After that I actually felt more sad about the thought that im not loveable, that i am " not good enough for them" than the thought that they didnt love me per se. Right now i am navigating myself out of that dillusional stage to get my shits together. And because we were really close friends so i want to keep the friendship as true to my values( that i care about my best friends and listen to what they are frowned upon) meaning hearing all their rants( sorry if i didnt put the words correctly) about how they miss their ex. This hurt me in a way thinking that they were always in love with their ex and not me even though they were the one who dropped the L bomb first ( at that time i wasnt sure yet if i do love them so i didnt say it back but i was keeping the friendship as normal as it is) and we became really close friend eversince. Just a lot of mixed signals and confusion and they gave up on me after a few months, saying that they first thought it was love but thinking clearly about it, it was not. This really made me think to what great length do i have to go make people love me when i had done all that i could have? I would never be good enough, some of us would never be good enough, for love, ever.
