The War On Drugs - You Don't Have To Go [Official Audio]

[@justadeathcorejourney]

This band is extraordinarily rich in emotion. They helped me through a lot of hard times. Some people I’ve lost, some people I’ve had to let go. I pray the love of my life isn’t one of those.. They make me feel human, and I need that in my life. I need to feel like I’m alive and I’m here, I need to feel accepted and supported. I need compassion and forgiveness. I am hurting a lot, but I know there is a person out there whether it’s this band, or someone so beautifully broken that I pray has healed. That’s all I need

[@7SomeGuy7]

Peace Love and Happiness be upon you 💚 you are a beautiful part of this incredible creation.

I played this when I let my husband's ashes go

Wow. All my best to you.

This album defines my life in one way or another. I feel bad for people who do not understand the awesome intensity that comes with the connection between life and a good tune. My life is nothing without it.

[@k0walsk]

Bra... Fo sha

[@mayhembunz8888]

Agreed. I can’t wrap my head around people who don’t feel music on a soul wrenching heart filling and breaking all at once level.

Yes, I think so! 🙂

[@ReedHarrison]

This is the first band I've heard in a while that I'm actually going to buy the whole CD

[@Stevek552]

jeeezz.. Is this band for real?.. never in my life (61 going on 35) have I heard such profound and beautiful sounds..

you could say this about literally every war on drugs song

it’s ok to cry

I was literally in tears when I finished this album this morning. This song is such a perfect choice for album closer.

[@arcticsmoke302]

The lines "You can be free, sometimes brave, Sometimes all you wanna do is run away..." hit somewhere deep inside. I know you asked me to be brave sis, and I try. But sometimes everything hurts so much...

As months go by since the release of 'A Deeper Understanding' more and more I come to realize this might be my favorite track from the whole album, only tied with 'Thinking of a Place' tbh.

[@EduardoChavez-bj6zj]

This is so Blood on the tracks !!, one of his best tunes.

[@vervor]

Nailed it

[@katherinenoel1063]

I used to be a really good ballerina i suffered from a shattered ankle but this music still carries me to a place where I'm on my tippy toes dancing in the kitchen and then i open my eyes and wowed at how it takes my pain and fear away to do such lovely stress free movement

[@a-aron14]

You are what you can imagine - I know you're beautiful too :)

[@johndavis7078]

Dance on

[@desmondlappin8106]

What a song ! ..... simply BRILLIANT !!! and to show it at its VERY BEST use headphone's as there are just so many wonderful sounds to BLOW YOUR MIND. So strange I never heard this WOW ! song before the other day and have played it non stop since and bought the C/D yesterday but IF you want the best from this BEAUTIFUL song do listen with your headphones ... FACT !!!

[@gerardoantoniorodriguezgut3754]

I got totally lost in this song. The unique way they use those instruments is really awesome. This is my favorite until now

[@twod010]

me too..... the last part wow......

[@stephanvantieghem8386]

Gosh, I'm listening music all day long & I haven't heard this one before, damn life's too short to hear everything ... Love's a bird, I left mine out of the cage years ago & it hadn't come back since, but hey, it just landed back in & it's on repeat shuffle. This is so limitlessly hauntingly beautiful !

[@orowoodworks5413]

The more I listen, the more I like. I initially heard lots of influence (or at least similarities) to 80s George Harrison, some little bits of Billy Idol in some of the guitar work and progressions, and some Bryan Adams in the vocal style. Now I'm hearing lots of Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits, which is great because they are in my top 3 favorite bands of all time. You guys are awesome. Keep it up. I can't even believe how much I'm loving this. I haven't been plugged into seeking out new music in years, but as a new-to-me group, you are making me want to get back into it.

[@veerouss]

You forgot Tom petty and Bruce.

[@HoangDo_m]

Such an atmospheric and beautiful ending to the album

[@diegopazos3879]

Just a reminder for you to listen to the song again

[@skrome1953]

This is the song I woke to when the alarm went off. So beautiful. In my drowsiness I rushed to my computer to find the stations playlist. Got it! Life is good.

[@marktrinidadrios8782]

This Track Hit Me Like No Other

[@puzdawg3547]

I pray to the Lord above that I see them in concert one day.

[@kayjayr]

I hope for you, that you do , I missed out on getting tickets to see them in Belgium, sold out :-(

[@Tsuma_Vento]

I missed out as well (Amsterdam). My year could have been at least 80% better had I seen them live, haha. Shame... some other time then.

[@bdpatterson]

I scored 6th row tix to see them at Massey Hall here in Toronto and am beyond excited. :-) A storied venue with a band at the height of their powers? I get chills just thinking about it.

[@twod010]

I see this great band, november 2th, Amsterdam can't wait!

[@vivekrav7]

I’m going to their concert tomorrow! My first time seeing them live. Might not live to tell the tale (sadly for more reasons than one nowadays) I hope you get to see them soon

[@TTurs]

This song takes me to a place I didnt know existed! This band are one Of the best ever!! Reminds me of a girl I once new....i called her freckles!!! one minute she was there then she was just... gone...just waiting for her to come back.....until then this song I play!!!.....

[@tercercarlos]

I always come back to this song when I want to sink deep in my sorrow.

[@davidtambornino8251]

I love War on Drugs, probably my favorite band, their music is medicinal; always reminds me there is a reason to keep living, don't give up ever but seek the joy that is in every moment within this miracle of our existence.

[@Matt-ik7dh]

It always gets me at the fist "I know it's hard, this time". Feels

[@Anddyball]

Today it's the 4 year anniversary of my grandma's death and I dreamed of her hugging me close and warm and singing this song to me. Needless to say, I woke up in tears, but feeling so much lighter

[@Picard47Lock]

My favorite song from the new album. Many layers so listen with headphones or on hifi system.

[@charmedprince]

This feels so lazy though. I prefer the live version of this song, the live rendition of this song on KEXP sounds really good

[@joelyons8238]

Really enjoying listening to this band. A friend introduced me to them just yesterday. & I really like their music a lot.

[@claireb3004]

Love is a bird I can't even see Even in the darkness right in front of me You were shining brightly in the window in the morn There's a torrent that rises gently There's a wind You can be free, sometimes brave Sometimes all you want to do is run away I don't need a curse, the hurt is much too real But even worse, I'm silently waiting For her, the room will be painted Yeah, I know, it's hard, this time Yeah, I know, you know, this time ... [?] How could I wait until you recognized me? When you were there inside my dreams No, you don't have to go, I want to make you stay Goodbye, anyway I heard the news today I've been up since the break of dawn I lost my mind today I'm at the sea, and I can hear the trains Winds of change, so new Blow right through me and blow back through you And pull you into the light, yeah

[@TheCosmicgirl72]

So beautiful...!!! ❤

[@gkukreti]

***Correct Lyrics*** Love is a bird I can't even see Even in the darkness right in front of me And you were shining bright through the window in the mornin' There's a tone that rises gently With a wind You can be free, sometimes brave Sometimes all you want to do is run away I don't need the curse, the hurt is much too real Are we even lost I'm silently waiting For how the room will be painted Yeah, I know, it's hard, this time Yeah, I know, you know, this time How could I wait 'til you recognized me? When you were there inside my dreams No, you don't have to go, I want to make you stay Goodbye, anyway I heard the news today I've been up since the break of dawn I lost my mind today I'm at the sea, and I can hear the trains Winds of change, so new Blowin' right through me then blow back through you And pull you into the light, yeah Now I'm home, and it's clear you're gone I lost my edge today Singin' all my songs in the pouring rain Pushed and pulled apart at the seams I can feel the chains The winds of love blow few Let it move through me Let it blow through you And take you into the night, yeah

What can I say, but another masterpiece !

Great song. Really dig the band. Reminds me of the 1980's early 90's. Real instruments played by great musicians. Cheers and best wishes to you all

[@stardustinmotion1671]

my only problem with this album how the fuck are they going to top it?!?!?!? this is FLAWLESS

[@kevincurtin3184]

I heard Bob Dylan in a Rolling Thunder Revue recording and loved him. I bought a TWOD album same day and drove up the coast of Maine in the dark. Loved it too. Yes the Dylan element is there, but Dire Straits and the boss too-but the cinematic yet intimate sensibility is all theirs. Love the album close.

[@a-aron14]

Hi John Davis, it's me again, you and I are big TWOD fans! At first, I thought of my grandparents so so long ago that I lost when I was 7-10 years old and I love this song so much, been playing it how long now? 3 years? Now all year I've been watching my dad fade away gradually from dementia, just crossing over, taking his last breaths. He just passed away in our presence in hospice, peacefully, freed of pain and suffering, and I've been continuously playing this song, and even though I cry, it gives me solace, peace, and closure. I love and miss my dad so much, and I love this band so much, and as I have told you before, I am so lucky to have seen them 3 times in NYC, and plan to see them again. Peace brother.

But three times! Dang I am behind in my to do list. Like I said in our other thread, I am very sorry for your loss. Sorry you lost your dad. Although there are some things in this world I really like, sometimes things happen that don't seem right at all. Getting back to TWOD for a minute... Please do me a favor regarding this band....If you find out they are going on tour again please drop me a line. Will ya? I'll do the same for you. I've been checking the web to see if anything comes up but I sure don't want to miss it. Will you share TWOD news with me as soon as you hear something? I will do the same. Take care my fellow traveler. May you find peace and rest even in the bad days.

One of my many favourites on the album - has the Tom Petty feel and Dylan type vocals but that is not to decry TWOD in any way but merely to place the song into perspective against other songs.
