Lyrics:
Into the mouth of control
Take me down where the river strays
Where it flows outside the lines
Where it’s picked apart and thrown away
Now I’m finally feeling free
I’m living down by an old par 3
You know I’ll be playing
Come around
Don’t take it hard
And don’t let ‘em stone you
When the comedown starts
You’ve been moving much too fast
To never know where this will end
Oh, what would I find
Living this life
Without you?
I got swept up in a world so strange
One you’d never even recognize
Oh, but I slipped away
Now I’m a stranger and I don’t know why
It’s killing me
But your words
They brought me out on to steady ground
When I was wounded and shamed
Now that my heart is empty
Where should I go?
You’ve always been a constant
My northern star
Where do I go?
Without you
I feel a storm coming on
I Feel a darkness at my gates
Live this loneliness of life
Keep on moving at your pace
Ain’t the sky just shades of grey
Until you’ve seen it from the other side?
Oh, if loving you’s the same
It’s only some occasional rain

[@michaelchan9238]

This is probably one of the most cathartic songs I have ever heard. "Ain't the sky just shades of gray Until you seen it from the other side? Oh, if loving you is the same It's only some occasional rain" Helped me move on and understand my struggles

[@omingomak]

I suspect this band was destined for these times. Life is balance and it's been pretty dark as of late but today the light came blasting through.

[@paredescax]

This is as beautiful as it is true. "The Drugs" make music for the healed that come from a long journey wiser, or for those who are still out there dealing with their pains, like me; almost 38, forced to be a migrant, been let down many times on my way by people I entrusted, but still chin up to what is ahead. Great music to keep on the road.

John 14:6 says: Jesus told him, " I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me."

[@juanjovi4187]

Well said my friend

[@LastMoonboy]

Unbelievable band. True artists

[@finleyscotland]

And just when you think they cannot possibly top the last album....

[@sebastianbocanegra3766]

I feel like they didnt, there would just be no way. Dont get me wrong tho, I LOVE this new one, it feels so personal and close

[@bobstraubtek6526]

agree finley

[@AndyPandyh]

Yeah, I have not really decided yet... Maybe let's just call it a tie 🙂

[@Wayfarer-1111]

For me they have topped the last album, but I always preferred Lost in the Dream to A Deeper Understanding.

[@dawnpatrol700]

Let's call it a tie. Deeper Understanding is STILL my go-to 5 years later, but I play " Harmonias Dream" almost as much as " in chains". I'm in love with the title track, Wasted, Harmonias Dream and the drop-dead stunner Old Skin

[@nickmurray9151]

Their best song? ...An impossible choice, but for me yes...so rhythmic, poetic, and beautiful. What an amazing band, love them to bits....

[@Wayfarer-1111]

Best track on the album? Nah, it was the one before, and the one before that… Beautiful song. Loving the record.

[@finleyscotland]

That's how I feel, can't decide, love all of this. Live the loneliest of life...yes.

[@corbywestbrook1348]

😂 exactly, it’s one awesome song after another.

[@anthonygiassullo2127]

I've been occasionally hearing their music, now I get enough ✌

Correct my post. I've been hearing their music occasionally, NOW I CAN'T GET ENOUGH✌✌

[@juangioserrano1756]

It’s absolutely brilliant as mostly everything that they make.

listening to this song while it's pouring rain... i just stopped working and closed my eyes for a second, just to let all the feelings in

Now I am feeling free!!

I can't stop listening to this track.

This song gets into your soul and once it has you will hear it in your dreams.

[@finleyscotland]

War on Drugs has been the soundtrack to my life since 2012.

[@dicktover65]

These are incredible players, it's very difficult not having some every day

[@ryanmillward585]

Same here. I travelled a lot the last ten years and these guys were always along for the ride with me, staring out of those bus windows and standing on sunset shorelines with their music playing into my ears. I've been lost in the dream too

[@Jere_emmi]

This is the Best song on the álbum IMHO. Another level of amazing.

[@RyanMcCarl]

This is it. I love the whole album but this is the winner.

"living this life, without you"

[@Abe-Evans]

This song has brought so much peace into my being during turbulent moments when much was derailing in my personal life. What a song just another incredible piece by the best band of this era! Truly masterful song writing and composition. Feels like each album just gets better and richer with every time I listen to them. This whole album is glued into my music player on repeat. Thank you ❤

[@Anonymous-vy1py]

I like when the lead guitar slides that chord at 4:02 to complement the rest of the sound. It bursts with richness

[@margretbaldus7592]

Oh yes, absolutely right, it opens your heart and let you feel free......❤

[@neilcarlson661]

W O D's ; occasional rain is beautiful !

[@TheSmiths65]

I wish this was longer like thinking of a place 💙😎🎸🎸💙

[@mikeconti9470]

Funny, I wish many of their songs were longer. They have some amazing instrumental segments in many songs that (if extended) would make for terrific and intriguing listening. They are great but I really believe that the commercial aspect (restricting the song to a 4 or 5 minute clip) hurts certain creative possibilities that might exist. This is just my opinion. I am not trying to be a know it all.

[@tisiuna]

Oh, if loving you is the same It's only some occasional rain //// Outstanding!!!! 🙃

[@Absalon_herbert]

They take my anxiety away. Love TWOD.

[@timballard27]

trademark drums and bass from Charlie and Dave. A great starting point for any song.

[@jackkaczmarczyk2709]

They are a first-name-basis band, you're right

[@SereneBobcat]

what a listen, I haven't heard an album like this since...I don't know man, every track hit the spot...every single moment of ever track was a delight. WOW. You know what, this is what life is supposed to feel like...I'm going to hold on to this feeling for a long time. LIFE IS GOOD.

[@pablo0713ftw]

Damn feeling this so hard while going through a separation.

[@hatroots1981]

What a song. This has got me through grief, sadness, and has made me feel hope and happiness. So tight, such poetry, so melodic, and what a sexy voice ❤

[@moonlightsupernova]

I played the album all the way through on first listen, then played this one another 5 or 6 times in a row for good measure. It hits on all cylinders.

[@lindseymartinmartin]

This song is at the top of my list lately… echos of M.K in the Dire Straits; and aren’t we in them now, dire straits ❤️‍🔥☄️💫

[@jackkaczmarczyk2709]

yesh

[@CanadianLightning150]

It kinda sounds more like Bob Dylan

[@OpinionsColumn]

This is my favorite song on this record, but the entire album is my favorite album of this decade🌧️ One I am not going to just listen to Occasionally.

[@jcmolendijk]

[@marktulip9554]

You know it's a good album when the last track is the best track. Such a good song and possibly their best.

[@SteveDEvD]

Well I said this before but I can't stop listening to it. For me this is definitely one of the best closing songs for an album that I know. Only if it'd be two minutes longer or so.

[@AntZombie121]

The solo at the end could do with being a bit longer. When they play it live they draw it out a bit

[@SteveDEvD]

@@AntZombie121 I'd love to see them one day.

[@LightSkinSlim83]

Amazes me that there’s less than 100k views.. so many people know and so many people don’t that should.. their music is life-changing

I keep playing this one, would love a longer outro its so good. this is that kind of overhead music you hear in the bookstore or mall. Nostalgic and easy to listen to. Beautiful album, I'm a new fan. Going to buy the cd.

[@AntZombie121]

When they play it live the outro is much longer

[@AntZombie121]

Had to go to 3 shows in a row on the current tour before I got to hear them play this live and it was epic
