This song isn't just a song, it describes my time in high school, when I first saw the girl that would later become the love of my life, my beautiful wife Isabelle. She tragically passed away this summer and I just keep playing this song over and over to remember all the wonderful moments we cherised.. Isabelle, I will never forget you. Yours forever Mike xx
+Niklas Bergqvist Hope you're doing alright brother... I use this song for my lost loved one too.. She did not pass away but when we parted ways it was as if she did. And I died with her, too.
+Niklas Bergqvist There are many ups and downs in life but that's all part of the plan, your journey isn't over yet. Cherish your memories then move on, that's what she'd want for you now.
Yeah I know right! I usually hate songs that I feel are to repetitive, but they did a good job at mixing it up so it didn’t feel repetitive even with the small amount of lyrics
This is such an unhealthy love song but it conveys such raw emotion. To be so helplessly in love, so devoted that it becomes a burden, you can hear it in the monotonous tone of her voice, as if love is eating away at her soul. It's uncompromising, haunting and yet strangely beautiful because it's pure love without restraint. If you cannot express and experience love in a healthy way it can consume you, hence being "under the spell" is the dark side of love.
+vicx05 as someone who literally just went through the worst experience of my life and am completely fucking broken as a result, I know exactly what you mean. Hope you feel better by now brother !
+Pughy I'm fine now but I'm grateful for the experience because it absolutely changed and made me who I am today. You need to become 'broken' in order to give birth to your true self but that only happens once you acknowlege and embrace the pain. Pain is our greatest teacher because it's the only emotion that forces us to see our own flaws and delusions and once you do that the healing process happens automatically and unconsciously.. it's literally a blessing in disguise.
+vicx05 Your words are true. A year ago, I was in a state of bliss. I had a love in my life that I had never known, but always sought. She was to me at the time a companion of unparalleled depth and love. In the end, she would betray my trust in ways I thought impossible. Over the course of this experience, I withdrew into foul, dark, chaotic, schizophrenic thought patterns. Voices filled my psyche, urging death. Still yet, others urged forgiveness, and love, even for those who had hurt me. Even for those who were not sorry. It was as if two factions were warring inside my mind over the course of the summer of 2015. On the one hand, I was filled with hatred. On the other, I was filled with love. I was in such an uncanny state of being that I hardly knew how to live any longer. Indeed, I flirted with the idea of suicide. It may seem strange, but I am grateful for this harrowing experience. It was through this immense suffering from love lost that I learned some of the most valuable lessons of my life. Prior to the betrayal from my betrothed, I had thought myself a person of forgiveness, and kindness. It seems the universe has a way of putting our convictions to the test in the most unforeseen ways possible. I must say, I do not feel like I did a great job in this department with her. I was quite cruel and admonishing. Months later, I find myself thankful. I find myself grateful for the experience of being able to forgive someone who truly hurt me. Although I do not wish to reunite our bonds, I still find myself able to love the person who she was most of our relationship together. I found myself able to forgive her for the pain she caused me. I am grateful for the power, whatever it may be (some would call it God), that influenced me towards this path, and away from death and hatred. Every day I express my gratitude to this power for saving me from a self-inflicted destruction. There are many things which I am grateful for, but over the course of the last year of my life, few lessons have been as worthy as this one. I now stand with renewed conviction, knowing that whatever suffering or pain I am to further experience in life, they are but fleeting moments and an opportunity to express sincere love.
It's crazy how a song can take you back to a certain time in the past. Right before Her and I would fall asleep, she would play a mix of songs that she was really into at the time. We would lay down and she would tell me stories about her past and I swear I could have listened to her forever. She was such a great story teller. When this song would play, she would sing along in the softest most endearing way. I fell asleep to her singing this song on a few occasions and it was honestly one of the best ways I've ever fallen asleep. I remember sitting down next to her on a different occasion and I was watching her draw on her sketch book. This song was playing in the background as well and I remember how adorable she looked. This feeling of belonging washed over me and in that moment, I knew she was becoming someone that I never wanted to let go of. I was almost scared to have thought that. Things happened and 2 years have passed and she is happy with someone else. I have moved on for the most part but my only regret is not telling her how much she meant to me. She will probably never know. If you ever come across this comment, I really hope you are happy. I am more than happy that I got to build so many amazing memories with you. You are truly an amazing person. This song and the memories it comes with it will never be forgotten.
Man, i have the almost same memories, except the she is a he and without the draw a sketch thingy, and he would tap his fingers on my arms to the rhythm. :)
Jeff Gonzalez On the contrary, man. I gottah say, as a girl, I found that incredibly moving. There are girls (though, not all of them) who are suckers for that kinda stuff, ha-ha.
I've been there. I can honestly tell you, fight obsession with an individual. It's why we lose them. It creates pressure. Pressure requires release. Thanks for sharing.
The hook at 0:54 is incredible. It gives off this strange dreamy, peaceful, surreal atmosphere. I need to find out what this feeling is, only a few songs that I've ever heard of actually give off this kind of vibe.
I thought I was the only one that gets these feels from these type of songs. That dream state. Just like cruising in saints row or GTA and listening to your music with these tunes.
DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOVE AND OBSESSION? I feel that love is the act of expressing ones feeling towards another. Obsession represents the fear of not wanting to express your emotions bad enough! We all have this battle in is to survive, we feel vulnerable when we express our emotions but I ask myself why... It's as if we believe our mind is smarter than our heart and that our heart must be tricking us into believing something we don't want to feel. I believe that life conditioned the mind so much to where the heart is paralyzed. So now I spend every second reframing my mind to thinking positive, we can't let bad circumstances in our life ruin our imagination and/or outlook on life! FREE YOUR MIND/OPEN YOUR HEART
Brings me back to the one girl I met on that park bench. She was just drawing, and listening to Vampire Weekend. At that moment, my heart dropped. We talked, but I never saw her again...
I watched Drive a few days ago! I can't get enough of this song! I recently got engaged! I'm only 21 and she is 20! Most people say were to young, and we don't know what we are doing. But i love her more than i can ever explain! Right now we live apart, and it's very hard! This song really get's me. I can't sleep, i barely eat, i do nothing but think of hert! The day we move in together is going to be the best day of my life! And on that day i'm going to play this song as loud as i can!!!
I went to the cinema with a girl mate who liked Ryan Gosling expecting this to be some sort of shitty Rom-Com film. I came away having my mind blown with what was one of the most stylish, awesome films I've ever seen. Love it. The visuals, the soundtrack, the acting. A cinematic classic.
Listening to this song at night is so unique. I couldn't quite describe what it makes me feel. It's as if time stopped, letting me grab the enjoyment of the moment in all its intensity, for once.
Watched it again last night.Definitely in my top 5 for the decade.Two of Goslings films actually-Drive and Blade Runner 2049.Never thought that would be the case 10years ago.
I wish I could watch this movie for the first time again. I found this movie when I was doing a movie analysis for my English class. This is by far my top 5 movies of the decade. Do you happen to know if they are ever going to make a sequel to Drive? It would also be cool to have prequel and see the drivers past
i first listened to this song two years ago. nothing has been the same since then, but whatever happened, this was the song that always helped me. even now whenever life gets tough, i come here to listen to it.
I don't eat, I don't sleep I do nothing but think of you I don't eat, I don't sleep I do nothing but think of you I do nothing but think of you 너를 생각하는거 말고는 You keep me under your spell 네 주문에 갇혀서 You keep me under your spell 네 주문에 갇혀서 You keep me under your spell 네 주문에 갇혀서 I don't eat, I don't sleep 밥을 못먹어, 잠도 못자 I do nothing but think of you 너를 생각하는거 말고는 I don't eat, I don't sleep 밥을 못먹어, 잠도 못자 I do nothing but think of you 너를 생각하는거 말고는 I do nothing but think of you 너를 생각하는거 말고는 Hey! 야! Ya 응 I was wondering 궁금해서 말인데 You the difference between love and obsession? 사랑과 집착의 차이점이 뭔지 알어? No 아니 And the difference between obsession and desire? 그리고 집착과 욕망의 차이점은? I don't know 모르겠어 Do you think this feeling can last forever? 이 마음이 영원할수 있을것같아? You mean like forever ever? 영원, 그러니까 언제나 영원히? For ever ever? 언제나 끝까지 영원히? Yes 어 Oh God , I hope so 그렇게 됐으면 정말 좋겠어
I'm feeling this song. I'm living this song over my beautiful wife. Going threw old play-lists when times were better. Missing the love of my life my wife forever.
This movie depends on you making the substance, or sense of it. It might not appeal to everyone, but it sure as hell did appeal to me, and still one of the best films I've ever watched.
been in love with the same guy since i was 17 and here we are 8 years later still in love. every time i hear this song it reminds me of how i feel about him.

When I think of someone that made feel alive and made me understand what love was, then I don't eat, sleep or think of anyone but you. It hurts even more knowing that they probably never think of me at all anymore.
Love is a most joyful thing in life just know that by the time it's over love is going to chew you up and spit you out, and having you feeling the worst pain you can come to think about.
I see more people of the masculine persuasion than the feminine. Funny, of the two we are more commonly characterized as heartless. I wonder how many of us are here contemplating our own demise.
This song encapsulates that sense of overwhelming longing so well because of its simplicity. When one falls in love, they tend to spend most of their time thinking about that person hence the lyrical repetition. Trying to move on is even more difficult ("You keep me under your spell"). Love and desire is completely irrational.
Nejc Lozar nightcrawler? That was so amazing. It wasn't the same film as drive, very different in fact. It captured the same kind of fascination drive had with me
I think this song describes not just one single person, but the idea of being in a relationship and the desire to find that perfect person, which doesn't exist.
Something like a dream brought me here. I don´t know how to explain. I just feel it. It grows deep inside and it wants me to change,to become something new and maybe a bit unique. The sadness inspires me.Through pain i can learn how to love again.
It hurts so much b/c its love, which either hurts tremendously or elates ecstatically. Here its loss. Or rather, a sense of being without yr other half. I can totally relate. Dir. Refn is a genius filmmaker
Technically no film is anything without its constituent components, but I totally agree. This film not only had a great soundtrack, but the cinematography was brilliant, the editing was brilliant, and the acting and script were fabulous. The scene I'll always remember is when he goes berserk on the guy in the elevator after he realises he's lost Irene. That shot of his scorpion on the back, the soundtrack when they kiss, the intensity of his stomps.
This vid's pic amplifies the pleasure derived from this song. I need a car... So I can go out in wee hours of the morning; ride around; listening to tracks like this.
Drive isnt for everyone.. alot of people wont get it.. but if u do get it then you understand its beyond amazing.. the artistic minds behind it knewexactly what they were after.. pure genius
Since I am going to die soon, I figure I'll cast these thoughts out while I still can. I discovered this song by chance a few years ago while in the midst of love-sickness. I had fallen for a woman who was married; husband, children, house in the 'burbs, the whole bit. It was not at all my intent. I would have been fine remaining nothing more than friends. "I love you", she said one day, and into the abyss I went. I wanted so badly for it to be true. This song perfectly resonated with how everything felt at the time. I would stay up all night thinking about how she was sleeping next to her husband and not next to me. I stopped eating. All I could think about was her and those beautiful hazel eyes piercing into my soul. I was a fool, a fool in a trance. Eventually, I broke free and came to my senses. It took months. Although my time in this life is nearly over, this haunting melody will stay with me to the end. Adios, Meghan.
+Tanfor1 I totally think it is, it deserves a spot high in popular culture, but instead is replaced with action flick garbage. Action flick garbage is overrated. Drive is simply a work of art.
I wasn't saying that Fast and Furious part 30 is better but to me, Drive just lacked a little something and kept me not as engaged as I should have been given how much people were raving about it. It's not a BAD movie by any means, I just didn't love it.
Jeremy Vanbrunt Well Yeah. The thing was is that the character had no background and had very few emotions. He was very hard to figure out, and that's probably why you feel that way. But that's also why so many people love it, because he can be whoever we want him to be.
+Austin Paradise Maybe. I don't know why it didn't work for me as much as it did for everybody else. Again though, not saying it was bad or that I didn't enjoy it, I just didn't as much as everybody else seems to.
i dont clean i dont sweep. i simply just use kaboom. it keeps my floor shiny as hell it keeps it shiny as hell it keeps it shiny as hell lala dada lala dada
I know what you mean, hun--I'm a girl and this song reminds me of an ex. It was playing in the background during a very important time. He was a jerk and we ended off on a terrible note, but I love this song and will forever think of him when I hear it (I've attached it to him)....so it's kind of bittersweet.
