[@adamheidbreder4647]

They’re one of those rare bands, you can listen to a song a thousand times and not get sick of it, and maybe even discover something new. I get obsessed with certain songs.

[@edwardirby5683]

totally agree

[@Wonka195]

This album is just so freakin good.

[@dextersmithbsee]

It truly is! I have been a fan for years and this is just an awesome effort.

[@mat-rl6fv]

Think this run of albums is up there with let it bleed-sticky fingers-exile and meddle-dark side of the moon-welcome to the machine

[@cameronbrown5134]

Amen. There’s so much honing of skill and quality with each new album! When will it end??

[@snoordman4831]

Agreed!

[@devonrumpel]

The ending of this song is a revelation. Gets me every time.

[@arequipa1ful]

Yep. Me too.

[@thaddeus5474]

From 3:20 onwards when the tempo changes and the song opens and develops itself instrumentally... it's just so good..

[@d-204]

You can see the lyrics hit him a few times during this and occasional rains performance. So grateful for this album. Really needed it to help restore hope in humanity.

[@williame.donnelly2661]

EXACTLY....a true Coda...

[@kmchristiansen03]

Word❤️

[@henryplayfoot6539]

My favourite version of this magnificent track. And, trust me, I've listened to all the versions.

[@aidan824]

Charlie is an incredible drummer.

[@mikeomatic9905]

He always has that great expression on his face too

[@JohnnyF71]

100%. I love how he totally gets off on locking into his groove. I love that about this band in general...they're just all about the music.

[@dawnpatrol700]

He's not complicated, but he's a machine timing-wise, and the Mick Fleetwood crazy expressions lol

[@eyeseverywhere8246]

@@dawnpatrol700 - yep...his timing is spot on. love the guy....

[@micktmusic]

Fucking blown away

[@javiergallegos4207]

the piano at the end made me cry, it made me remember some things in my life that were painful but now are scars, thanks for your beautiful music guys.

[@bobwatts5662]

This sounds even better than the album version,and that's really good. What a band.

[@jotavetres]

This guys, to me, came on a mission to keep rock alive.

[@MrSotero123]

The world is always a better place when these guys are making music.

[@Briano76]

I’ve always liked the song but wasn’t even in my top 10 but this version is perfect. I could listen to this all day

[@waynedexter]

This sounds marvelous. Much props to the sound engineer

[@richardwinters1445]

That's what I noticed too. Their live studio performances are recorded really well.

[@NoBrakes23]

I often hate live performances, but for a few years WFUV has posted stellar lives. Sometimes they are better than the studio release.

[@Fender-cq2zt]

I’ve seen them for every tour. Fly in and fly out, it’s worth it. To witness musical art in person is amazing!

[@balintszollar]

this damn song ripped my heart out. I can hardly make it through the end without tearing up. What an incredible album

[@dextersmithbsee]

I was driving and turned the volume up. As tough as I am, I found myself truly listening to the lyrics and melody and feeling something. This is quite a sensational song.

[@briantoon4128]

Same here! I love this album and this is my favorite song.

[@JosjeR]

Best band this world has ever known

[@tompoynton]

Anthony and Dave’s backing vocals have massively improved since the last tour

[@dextersmithbsee]

The very best of the best. I listen to this entire album while I'm driving through Georgia day to day in my interactions and this comforts me like none other.

[@mitchpollock4732]

Playing god-tier music. No one is close.

[@MrSolaris1982]

There is something in the air here. The most important band of the times

[@MillennialDiligence-sx8re]

Can't stop playing this.... Absolutely amazing subtlety on that piano finale.

[@eduardwilliams1245]

God damn this band raises the bar for live audio time and time again.

[@travisthornton1792]

Sounding fresh with the Rickenbacker 360 12-string

[@rohan-ghosh]

Nice call!!!!

[@mikeomatic9905]

This makes me want to go out and buy one…

[@travisthornton1792]

@@mikeomatic9905 same. I saw one yesterday at my favorite store. Bought a Vox AC-10 instead 🤘

[@taketheother]

mix is crazy good.

[@arequipa1ful]

These guys are so so good. Brilliant lyrics, riffs and musicianship.

[@twod010]

That OUTRO !!!

[@56cdross]

Beat, rhythm, lyrics that mean something, outstanding melody(ies), lush vocal harmonies, stark vocal purity (in the right measure), all done exceptionally well and played by people that can make their instruments work, for them. And, us!

[@willie_layer2828]

"Change" I've been running from the white light To try and get to you Tell me everything that you need I've been trying so hard Ain't got no time to lose Tell me anything that you'll need To open the door To a desperate man Easily could run from the start When you're falling I've been driving on the west side again And the rain keeps pouring down Finally figured out my way I've been living on the run 'cause I can't find That thing that holds and binds us tight I'm out here dying in the heat Oh, what am I to find? Yeah, when I open the door To desperate men Easily could run from the start Sheltered and dead I hear your call Crawl inside and wait for the fall Shelter in the doorway From rising storms Caution in the darkness Where we have fallen How can I replace, babe What can't be lost? I don't wanna change I'll rise above it There are so many ways Our love could make it through But it's so damn hard to make that change Maybe I was born too late For this lonely freedom fight Maybe I was born in the wrong way Maybe born on the wrong day

[@lyndaframe1986]

❤thanks 🎶🔆

[@danielseliger1123]

Absolutely incredible

[@jimmycameron6568]

Just can't get enough of this fabulous band. Love every song I've heard from them, every version, studio or live.

[@tedschappert4114]

Champions league of music. And they win again.

[@leonmooney8082]

Dave Hartley is an absolute beast.!! Also, what a nut busting mix.

[@SkipPriest687]

This remarkable song expands the frame of reference with a play on the late-Seventies hits from some of the greatest musicians that ever lived...

[@NoobSaibot564]

Few singer/songwriters can elicit a longing for a time and place we've never been.

I'm spoiled for choice. Each song is so good that I don't know what to listen to next!

[@ChrisAhSnap]

My CD came today, Love this album. This song really has the Fleetwood Mac guitars and drum sound to it, such a wonderful sound to be used in today's music. Love the way they use 80's sounds. Awesome band.

[@martinhowe1422]

M-A-G-N-I-F-I-C-E-N-T - The toon could have carried on for 10 mins or so - I'd have been sooooo happy. A classic in every sense of the term. Thank you Adam. Please hit the UK sometime brother.

[@zwarthoedjo]
