Enter Shikari - Airfield (Official Audio) 

My wife had a slip in her mental health recently. She had bought tickets for us to see you in Birmingham on for my birthday. She decided to buy your latest album so she wouldn’t be completely in the dark. This song helped her out of her slump and she actually got teary eyed when you played it live. I love you guys and hope you keep abusing music genres for a long time to come

It took many years, but it worked out. Listen to this song again, once you've beaten whatever it is you're going through. Stay strong x

This song has continued to help me when I'm not doing well. Especially during times like this.

This might sound morbid, but when my time comes, I want this played at my funeral, it's such a beautiful message, I want whoever I leave behind to know that they'll be alright.

A field, desolate And underfoot, a tarmac river flows I wait to depart, an inconceivable aught When you're no wings and all elbows Oh, it's so cold I watch my breath unfold It wraps us in a cloud of gloom Through adversity Hope must not become the casualty It's common for people to believe Everything happens for a reason I'm sorry that's false, and it's poison Even if there is no purpose To the things that you have gone through An ordeal can reveal an airfield Stop, disown fear And I'll be here If you need a friend, my dear So you're down on your luck, you're down Yeah you're down on your luck, you're down But that don't mean you're out No it don't mean you're out, now So you're down on your luck, you're down Yeah you're down on your luck, you're down But that don't mean you're out No it don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out So you're down on your luck, you're down You're down on your luck, you're down But that don't mean you're out It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out No it don't! So you're down on your luck, you're down Yeah you're down on your luck, you're down But that don't mean you're out It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out (No it don't!) So you're down on your luck, you're down Yeah you're down on your luck, you're down But that don't mean you're out It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out When the wind's against you Remember this insight That's the optimal condition For birds to take flight Now the wind's against you Don't give up the fight

This song and the ode to the missing jigsaw piece played the day my mother passed, February 14 of 2023. They definitely helped me cope for the time being while I was a complete mess. Thank you guys for everything you have made in the music world. ❤

This song goes out to anyone going through the toughest year of their lives right now

My Dad passed away last week. I can't believe how much a song could help me through such a dark time. I loved this song before but it means so much more to me now. Yes I'm down on my luck but it don't mean I'm out!!!

This song hit me harder than a train lately. After i had lost my job, my girlfriend and now my appartment, im about to go in a 6 month rehab to work on my childhood trauma and my alcool and drugs use. And im so scared. But this songs reminds me that the wind is against me and i will not give up the fight. Thank you Enter Shikari for existing❤ love from Quebec, Canada

This song already means so much to me, Enter Shikari you never cease to be a bridge between people.. You give hope when everything seems dark and misty, you are a light to find a way in the dark.

Rou + piano = masterpiece

How lucky we are to have music to share and connect how we feel as humans. I truly think this is the most effective medium to translates what it's actually like to be someone else. Thank you Shikari for showing me I'm not alone.

I just had the craziest coincidence just now; I had to come here to let you guys know what happened just now because it'll get lost on twitter and I don't have Instagram. I just had this song come up on my shuffle and as it got to the crescendo and spoken word at the end, I had a notification come up on my phone. I took a screenshot and it read: " When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the aeroplane takes off against the wind, not with it" - Henry Ford. Crazy. I only wish I had someone to share that experience with. Life isn't going terrible for me just having a so-so week. I got made redundant 3 days ago after I decided to commit to the job and put my name down for things (mortgage to help my parents get a home). But it's okay. I'm not stressing. Thanks for encouraging the masses with your lives, stories and music.

After giving birth last year to our beautiful daughter my wife went through post natal depression and it put a massive strain on all of us. This song helped remind us that everything was going to be Ok, no matter how difficult things became, and that it's ok to not be ok, people are out there to help guide you through tough times. I'm so proud of her battling through Post Natal and becoming an amazing mummy to our daughter and this song has a special place for us x

Had the worst year of my life last year had some hard times this year and listening to this song got me through and listening to it now just reminds me how much it got me through ❤

Song saved my life.

When my daughter died, this song had a strong impact in me. When it happened I was in a country that I did not feel that I belonged and I could find nowhere to look for comfort. I did find some from among others songs, this

This song hit real hard the same feels i got when i first listened to adieu, your progression in music is astonishing it really shows why your one of the best bands from the uk not tied to one genre or style, just a form of pure expression. Thank you for everything.

If anyone wants to know the lyrics to this amazing song...

This song has saved my life more times than the band will ever know... thank you

I’ve been really down. Suicidal, depressed, anxious and scared of the future ahead with everything surrounding Brexit, LGBT Rights, Human Rights, Coronavirus etc. I always come back to this song when I need it the most, and every time it makes dealing with my problems and the world a tiny bit easier. We’ll make it through this.

i discovered this song shockingly enough on The Faction radio station, mostly metal music, but damn if i wasn't listening on that day, never would have discovered this masterpiece

This album is another masterpiece form this amazing band. Enjoyed every second. Never thought a ballad could impress me that much as airfield does *.*

You played this in Portsmouth on the 9th December 2018. And as I embraced my daughter we wept. Uninhibited. And as the song reached its crescendo we pounded our fists and it all felt better. Thank you.

I was fighting some real sadness for a long time, I knew it would be a song that brought me out of it, but I didn't expect it to be these guys. Thank you Enter Shikari

This is 100% my favourite Enter Shikari song, especially the last lines. In fact, The Spark is my favourite ES album. God, this album got me through some tough places and still is on my anxiety playlist after months. Thank you all

realising i cant live with my parents because im handling depression. it breaks my fucking heart how much they hurt when i hurt, which happens alot. after a long time of trying and repeatedly failing to live close, i *need* to get out on my own. this song helps more than i can describe. "Now the winds against you Remember this insight That's the optimal condition for birds to take flight Now the winds against you *Don't Give Up The Fight.* "

Through adversity, hope must not become the casualty

I can't say this song has saved my life like the others. Not to diminish the impact it has for them at all! I find myself often coming back to this song for various reasons. The 2 biggest is to not give up and the second the motivation to keep pressing forward. This song legit can hit home and has repeatedly drawn wells to my eyes.

This is what perfection sounds like

"this song goes out to anyone who's going through the worst year of their life."

Enter Shikari are one of few bands that literally take my breath away, always in awe of every new release. So diverse but always utterly brilliant. Can't wait to come along for the tour next week!

Hearing this live at Ally Pally back in November gave me literal goosebumps. This has to become a live staple in your shows!!

This songs saved me from myself more times than I would like to admit, thank you

This song, it's helped me through my roughest of seasons.

Me and the wife had this as our wedding dance, feb 1st 2020 just before coughy boy took over and just after open heart surgery at 33 for myself, means so much to me, the wife and our kids and all of our family.

This song and The Spark album saved my life. I cant thank you enough guys. It was alao the inspiration for my first shikari tattoo. Love you boys 💙💙

This has been for the past year or so, my go to when I'm feeling depressed. It helps me feel it more for a bit and then gives me hope.

I'm apparently the only one still on RU-vid listening to this album. I feel like I grew as a person over the years and I'm starting to regress into no purpose.

I’ve been playing this song on guitar for months now the lyrics are stocked in my head it s so beautiful enter shikari you will never disappoint even after all those years I’ve seen you in concert 4 times and I want more !!!

"A field, desolate And underfoot, a tarmac river flows I wait to depart, an inconceivable aught When you're no wings and all elbows Oh, it's so cold I watch my breath unfold It wraps us in a cloud of gloom Through adversity Hope must not become the casualty It's common for people to believe Everything happens for a reason I'm sorry that's false, and it's poison Even if there is no purpose To the things that you have gone through An ordeal can reveal an airfield Stop, disown fear And I'll be here If you need a friend, my dear So you're down on your luck, you're down Yeah you're down on your luck, you're down But that don't mean you're out No it don't mean you're out, now So you're down on your luck, you're down Yeah you're down on your luck, you're down But that don't mean you're out No it don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out So you're down on your luck, you're down You're down on your luck, you're down But that don't mean you're out It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out No it don't So you're down on your luck, you're down Yeah you're down on your luck, you're down But that don't mean you're out It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out (No it don't) So you're down on your luck, you're down Yeah you're down on your luck, you're down But that don't mean you're out It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out When the wind's against you Remember this insight That's the optimal condition For birds to take flight Now the wind's against you Don't give up the fight"

Remember them playing this live in Hatfield in July, Rou played it from up on the Forum balcony it was one of the best bits of the set

I just went through a hard time at work, and i god my heart broken, and i lost a friend in the process, This song helps me cry it all out, and help me realise that it will all be okey! Thanks Enter Shikari for allt the help!

This song helped me out a lot. Thanks boys

I nearly hit rock bottom again but I picked myself off and dusted myself off and I am still here

This song for me it means each and everyone of us is special❤️

This is truely helping with some dark times at the moment. Thank you guys, there is definitely hope

One of my fav sad songs…oh man, I was at the festival in Kiev in 2018, and before I saw you there, now waiting to see you somewhere in Europe 😘

"It's common for people to believe everything happens for a reason, i'm sorry that's false and it's poison." At first i didn't like this album, but it quickly became one of my favs, wish the new album had great songs like this.

More people need to listen to this! It's so magical, it even made me cry a little.

This is like a debut album 😻😻😻😻

You’re down on your luck you’re down But that don’t mean you’re out

This is basically a better version of Vessel by Twenty One Pilots. And I'm saying this as a big Twenty One Pilots fan.

My favorite ES song

I'm actually gonna pay for this album. I want it.

Ladssss ❤

This TV box reminds me of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - in search of a new life))

enter shikari is the hardcore bloc party

Thank you Rou for always being there for me. 😊

I know it's dumb compared to other's issues but eh... I broke up with my boyfriend because i fell in love for an other After a Year and a half of relationship and i wanted to be true with him, and when i confessed my feelings (just After an Enter Shikari show in Paris 😅) to the other guy he pushed me away... And i m glad this song exist rn, cause i really needed this little help to get through 🥹

means the world to me

Acabo de descubrir su música gracias a Europa en concierto y me encanto

Errrrrr...right in the honey nut feelyo's!

Everything happens. Maybe not for a reason

Marco Merrino brought me here.

Souns like Son Lux sometime

tfw this track is still unlisted

I'm still now out

x

Not saying this in a negative way l like it but this sounds different from the first time I listened it have you changed it in anyway not a problem if you have i love this song and the rest of your music in general

I love Enter Shikari and I have an unobjective love for everthing they put out because I fanboy them a bit too much but... it seems to me this is a formula that's been used repeatedly and it is starting to get old.

3 min - enter, and only 2 min - shikari:(

Enter Shikari loose all what this band have. Few years ago, there music was good, now, i don't whan't to say bad words. Sad that Enter Shikari left all the good stuff behing. Bieber is better than this song.
