The War on Drugs - Red Eyes (Live on KEXP)

[@lukasbergstrom4229]

Never have a song been played so many times and still not feel boring

[@jangeer418]

It was my top listened song on Spotify and I was wondering how. You are right you don't get bored of it.

[@futuropasado]

Lost in the dream is arguably the best album of this decade.

[@31alking]

Not arguably

[@issimonete]

@@31alking not at all

[@runvti3274]

It is incredible.

[@pilsonisx]

Looks like a bunch of dads came together and made a rock band. Still listening 9 yrs later

[@akilatvamaki4038]

This is still the most beautiful song ever. The one that makes me miss my friends, and the one that makes me hope someone is here still after me, listening to this, and immersing into beautiful thoughts with this song, hopefully into thoughts including that perception of me who loved this song and missed my friends

[@FennyFxMeuCanal]

Me too, this song is so amazing ❤

[@watapartja5533]

Ocean inbetween the waves. Also great song

[@patrickshay7361]

I streamed this song over 5k times in 2022 according to apple

[@paulmartin4285]

The Drummer is absolutely creasing me with his facial expressions, love it best band band I've heard for ages

[@levismith4254]

Man his drummer face cracks me up in all their kexp live performances. Esp their recent set for greater understanding album. Man kills it though.

[@dosedwav]

dont think you understand how it feels to singe that shit in behind a tight ass band, such a great feeling....

[@Georgia.J]

He knows he's creating magic that touches people's soul. When this song really gets going you know it can something special.

[@sprightx]

The guitar riff + the keyboard during the chorus just kills it... brilliant

[@J_Ghotier]

Samuel Morris-Rosenstein yep

[@Kurtaair]

2023. Still the best song i've ever heard.

[@darcyrose_]

9 years on and I still play this track on repeat. Such a wonderfully crafted song, forever one of my favourites

[@steveash9364]

Absolutely, great song .

[@annamcmurdie3807]

The drummer's facial expressions are my favorite :)

[@jamesfitzpatrick6330]

Like an SNL sketch......the faces he makes

[@camdflage]

Feeling every part of the music

[@damjanovicandrijana]

Anna McMurdie sometimes when i look št him he seems like a magician with a magic stick

[@wojtek71k]

Guitarist's great too:)

[@rockvoxx]

Lol, he was feeling it, Or he was on something.

[@edmarkson12]

I just can't believe how brilliant this song is!

[@tomer266]

Told the same thing after the third time ive heard this song.

[@MrSotero123]

This song makes me feel so alive. It’s in damn near all of my playlists.

[@echoguitarist]

That snare sounds amazing.

[@joedames7432]

Yessir

[@wm.columbus8629]

Whomever engineers KEXP stuff is a hero.

[@MsPatrick1982]

Thank God for art and artists like this 🙏🏻

[@MsPatrick1982]

@SamuelEMPowell131 great recommendation 👍🏻 thanks!

[@jeremyevans8374]

Certainly very American as far as his influences go. I hear Jerry Garcia riffs, Lindsey Buckingham solos, Bob Dylan meets Tom Petty vocals with a little Jackson Browne ambience thrown in there as well. I have to say the whole thing is put together beautifully. He's a Class A songwriter.

[@inthebreeze1973]

Total musical nutrition..I'm blown away every time I hear this song!! A perfect balance of happy and sad, I'm happy when I hear it and sad when it ends.....

[@martinsoltes2319]

You don't know what is behind but realy makes me feel like child in 80's hearing this collage of sounds. Eyes dropping tears and feel like can fly.

[@Terraceview]

So well written.

[@edthomas9]

his guitar solos hit the spot every time!!

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

This is so magical, Feels so euphoric

[@francesmargaretgehrke4424]

they've got to be one of the most underrated bands I've ever come across. I can't stop listening!

[@MrLoomboy]

Just when I thought real music was lost..brilliance!..but this has been happening to me for decades, thanks to listening to KEXP....Thank You KEXP!....Thank You War on Drugs, Antlers, LCD Soundsystem, Echo and the Bunnymen, Ultravox, Big Country, Hidden Cameras, Magnetic Fields, L VonBeethoven, Verdi, Lone Justice, and on, and on :)) KEXP + Best Radio Station EVER!

[@matthudson6686]

lutz luhmann Amen!

[@oliverschell7014]

... and Jonathan Wilson.

[@vosje7691]

they discoverd the difinition of music, it's such a great song

[@Veabby16]

this song is the only thing I have listened to since April, beautiful

[@m4rr4]

Svea Conrad same here. 4 years later. april 1st, 2019. first time listening it. and i know this will be the only song i’ll be hearing for the coming weeks.

[@indiecalms]

One of the best bands out there right now! Great great song!

[@djdb5061]

One of the best live performances I've ever seen caught on video. Pure magic!

[@aaronbritton3546]

4:06 the joy on the keyboardist face, knowing he loves his job 🫶🏽

[@paulkubic786]

Best current live band (sorry U2)--I'm in my 70's ,seen them all; Adam and the band are exceptional,sold out in St Paul , here soon!!

[@GraditudevsRevenge]

My favorite part is when the song picks up at 1:51

[@yeaggernormandy2880]

LYRICS (LIVE on KEXP) The War on Drugs - Red Eyes (VERSE 1) Come and see Where i witness everything On my knees (you got to) Beat it down to get to my soul Against my will When anyone could tell us you're coming But Baby don't mind You leave it on a line, leave it hanging on a rail (VERSE 2) Come and ride away It's easier to stick to the old (ods) When you're surrounded by the night Surrounded by the night and you don't give it in But you abuse my faith Losing every time and i don't know where (yeah) You're on my side (again) So ride the heat wherever it goes I'll be the one i can't (whoo!) (CHORUS) Come and ride away You can see it in the dark night touching my soul When you can see through the darkness coming my way (yeah) you won't get lost inside it all again (BRIDGE) Am i right? no one sees you around here waiting They don't mind, that i'm here, i hear For the best way, are you mine against it? (yeah) I would keep you here, but i can't (even) Oh, the right way i don't want to see it And i don't see it anywhere i turn, yeah (CHORUS) Come and ride away You can see it in the dark night touching my soul Yeah i can see it in the darkness coming my way Yeah you won't get lost inside it all You're all i shall... How can i see the day before the night How can i see the *hum* before the time Yeah you won't get lost inside it all You're all i know... (whoo!)

[@chuaigh1]

Jesus, this knocks the socks off the radio edit. So much more bite - please release this version.

[@a1mdwpr]

Sublime, simply sublime.

[@kira-xr1kl]

[@tvdweyer5523]

What a song! And that bassline.. Hoho!

[@CarloCack]

Absolutely amazing! This song is crazy

[@leleedler]

This band is so great... It's like Bob Dylan's vocals mixed with something like the Dire Straights in terms of acoustics. Just amazing!

[@MrSotero123]

Perfect!

[@masterqbaPL]

masterqbaPL keep on going!

[@davidlj]

Still going? I am.

[@patrickjoyce9633]

My favorite version of my favorite song

[@SebGeddy]

This band is one the best things to come up in the past decade.

[@adamv2949]

Charlie's toms and snare never disappoint

[@mondoseguendo6113]

But his lack of facial hair is slightly disappointing

[@bombastik618]

The drummer is overcooooooooolll

[@InToxico15]

I'll be the one, I can't, whooooo!!!!! coming my way......running in the dark

[@franx90]

The snare on this performance sounds so good.

[@hgtmband]

what a performance

[@masterqbaPL]

Guess what? I still LOVE this live perfomance! still love this song! Thats how my soul sounds :3 Today I'm celebrating with my sennheiser's the year of the phenomenon, because I listen to it every day and never got bored! :D Thank you KEXP and The War on Drugs

[@davidmarti4224]

Amazing band and music. Excellent ! I hope to see and hear from you in Barcelona, ​​you will fill the stadium of FC. Barcelona. I've heard all the songs almost 30 times , and again , each time it gives me goosebumps

[@Chonkachella]

Thank you Tom Ravenscroft for introducing me to these absolute musical pros. I never get tired of listening to this song.

[@ProudAmericanJew]

My favorite song and my favorite version of it

[@rachelnbrien]

Thank you War On Drugs for this song

[@Deelystaniel]

killer performance

[@Fidel7708]

beautiful

[@GonsalvoDeCordova]

Yet another example of the KEXP performance outshining the recorded version.

[@oliverschell7014]

Jonathan Wilson is another example.

[@xxgm28]

I don’t think any version can compare to the intensity of the studio recorded orignal, it’s truly a powerful modern masterpiece.

[@wildhoss92]

I feel like the acoustic is too loud here.. The recorded version is so perfect

[@Motorips]

the first time i heard this song was, when my wife and i travelled through aragon and katalunya in july 2017 with our camping car. it was damned hot, even in the mountains there. and we found by chance a public outdoor pool in Tremp. i went twice into the water, the rest of the afternoon i listend to an incredible good alternative and punk and avantgarde rock mix. in a public outdoor pool. and than came this song and put this day on an other higher level.

[@CurleyJosh]

I love seeing passion more than anything.

[@toombsnorman]

Who can't stop listening? June 2017 crowd where we at?

[@xXlegitx46Xx]

Just the singer and drummer are feeling it man , everyone else is dead , especially the acoustic player ! He looks totally out if it

[@YonatanLidar]

seems like they play it too much, its like boring to them now.

[@2lifebeats]

This song is life

[@steveash9364]

What a tune

[@georgeharrow6485]

Simply brilliant!

[@TorkilDjurhuus]

Kevin Suggs, I love you!

[@bombastik618]

Ik. liebe diese Band .

[@freethinkingamerican80]

Just found out about this song and band through Apple Music and probably played it 5x in a row, man what a great sound.

[@jamesfitzpatrick6330]

Excited to listen to the radio again....even if it's only on satelite.

[@22patch22]

Epic track . Love it

[@rek2fc]

Best live version

[@leonardokula5742]

Totally adicted to this... Nice band and vibe.

[@zandz369]

Incredible song

[@artecriativo0578]

| will always cry to this.

[@richardltsproul9932]

Soaring brilliance!

[@1927bluesrob]

[@coleyounger4665]

I loved it. Been looking for something to love.

[@MrVakill23]

[@TheProletarius]

I love this guitar .

[@thomasoluic1832]

I remember when this album wAs released. Still steamrolling me in the most gorgeous, yet subtle of fucking ways.. If songs bring back vibrant, important times in my life: I fucking picked well..

[@Jameswilllee]

Shooter McGavin on the drums everyone.

[@zarbosamusic]

This is beautiful. Thanks.

[@MrDavital1]

What a tune!!!!! ❤️

[@mrblaoblao6981]

I bet Bruce Springsteen wishes he wrote this song...

[@sfleeee]

War on Drugs wish were Bruce more like

[@sfleeee]

great song though

[@Mainstnoogan]

Often said I wish he'd cover them

[@NorthWriter]

Yeah, I think that often when listening to these guys. His vocal delivery and the way he sings the cadence of his lines is very Boss.

[@theyoutubegeek7493]

i think the same, but it's not a bad thing :)

[@pergamX]

whenever i read so many comments in a row that i agree with i know i'm on the right side of youtube, i don't know any of you people but you my tribe. The snare forte in the chours does it for me.

[@Peninaa85]

Nothing to say really. I APPRECIATE YOU

[@Joaonunoalvares2]

So good

[@rabismenow]

great sound. first ive heard of this band.

[@dianesnyder5223]
