Greta Van Fleet - The Weight of Dreams (Audio) 

Was jealous of the 60's n 70's for their music. The universe did us a solid to give us this band now.

I hope this song is played for 30 minutes live in concerts.

how this album wasn't nominated for a Grammy, I will never comprehend...

This song is just surreal. When I first listened to it, it was close to midnight. It was dark, I had my eyes closed and I was experiencing the music. I listened to the whole album in order. When the cut off happened halfway through, I thought, "Please don't have this song end." Then... The faintest note, getting louder. When I tell you I got chills on the buildup and climax after the cut, I mean it. I felt the solo and everything after in my bones. It's an experience I've never had before, and one I hope I will have again. I hope some others got to experience this as well. Absolute 10/10 song.

Its a damn shame you'll never hear this on the radio. It's a banger.

perfect way to end this absolute masterpiece of an album.

The ad break right as the solo drops is a crime against humanity

If this song doesn’t energize your soul you don’t have one!!!!

Just one word for describe this whole album: *ORGASMIC*

God damn. I thought their first album needed more guitar solos and this one blew my mind. Anyone who hates these kids is out of his mind.

The guy that put an ad right before the solo deserves prison

Lyrics All across the west we traveled wayward for To find the weight of dreams in gold Heaven sent us here to meet the hallowed shore To claim the wealth that we had sold Gold mines melting men in the sunshine Spoiled wine tastes so sweet we have gone blind Gold mines melting men in the sunshine Spoiled wine tastes so sweet we have gone blind We stole from her a cloak of studded majesty The queen is dead, we robbed her grave You can still bathe in the river, but it ran dry And all of us have turned away Gold mines melting men in the sunshine Spoiled wine tastes so sweet we have gone blind Gold mines melting men in the sunshine Spoiled wine tastes so sweet we have gone blind

4:48 sounds like Josh coming from the abyss, nowhere and yet somewhere in another time and place. This is utterly amazing. That solo hits - pure ecstasy.

Fans: How long is your guitar solo Greta: Yes

It won best guitar solo of the 21st century for a reason

I don’t think most can fathom what this band is in the present. The arrangements, the harmonics along with the hits..it’s the music industry left for dead 20 years ago being rescued by one band

Finally real rock music once again.

Hands down one of this generation’s best bands

I wanna thank their mother for giving birth to 3 awesome musicians

If you can’t get goosebumps from music. You jammin the wrong stuff. Incredible

this song alone should put them in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame IMMEDIATELY! Best song I've heard in many years! And I am a 61 year old fart. Truly a masterpiece!

The solo at the end of the song tells us exactly how heavy dreams are

54 years old and no newer group thus far has given me chills like this. They have captured the sound of my teen years and created art I thought I would never hear again. Blown completely away. These guys are legends in the making if not already.

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard

I know I'm not alone in saying this whole album went beyond my expectations. We waited so long to hear it, and yet I think I wasn't ready for it.

🔥Lyrics:🔥 [Verse 1] All across the west we traveled wayward for Found the weight of dreams in gold Heaven sent us here to meet the hallowed shore To claim the wealth that we had sold [Chorus] Gold mines melting many men's sunshine Spoiled wine tastes so sweet we have gone blind Gold mines melting many men's sunshine Spoiled wine tastes so sweet we have gone blind [Verse 2] We stole from her a cloak of studded majesty The queen is dead, we robbed her grave You can still bathe in the river but it ran dry And all of us have turned away [Chorus] Gold mines melting many men's sunshine Spoiled wine tastes so sweet we have gone blind Gold mines melting many men's sunshine Spoiled wine tastes so sweet we have gone blind Ah ah ah Ah ah ah

This is the greatest rock song I’ve heard in 20 years. Full disclosure: I’m a huge Rush and Zepp fan. Shocking. Haha.

Battle at Gardens Gate will someday be considered an all time classic album!

Anybody else get chills when Josh's voice kicked in ??😳

This album is like a Rock Opera of the Future. Stunning performance from all the guys. Josh has a voice that is a voice from the ages refined to perfection. Lyrics are mesmerizing. I will listen to this for the rest of my life. Fan of GVF forever!

The guitar solo from 6:42 to 7:36 🙌🏻😍😍😍😍😍

I only really listen to 70’s & 80’s rock and metal these days, I’m sick of all the garbage on the radio. This is the exact type of stuff that this era needed. Amazing song

The acoustic at the end was the PERFECT ending, warm and cozy like a hug, yet still mysterious and incomplete...

When 4:38 happened... This song is so good!

Lets all give a big thanks to Mama Kiszka for being a vessel of Rock reincarnation.

Stay strong boys. Don't let anyone ever discourage you for any reason.

My prediction is that this will be the best song on the album

At the start I thought to myself man there better be a killer solo. And Jake did not disappoint 🤘🏻🤘🏻

This literally left me breathless. Just... I feel like I'm in my Dad's era, listening to this on fresh Vinyl.

Chills throughout my entire body and soul, this isn’t a song this is a message, an experience, a dance with ambition and the reincarnation of true music

That's a great pleasure. I'm just listening whole album with my 57 yo dad - he is a big fan of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Metallica, AC/DC, and now I see he is become a fan of Greta 🤘🤘. Rock is not dead 🤘🤘.

This song is an absolute masterpiece. You guys are doing things that no one dares to do anymore. I, and all rock-loving people, aplaude you! From a Colombian Fan!

Great song, this album deserves more award

Congratulations to our man, Jake Kiszka for the award of best guitar solo of the 21st century 🫡

This song gave me a diploma in air drums.

I'm here after binging the entire album for 45min straight in my room with the lights off... This was a **RELIGIOUS** experience. You guys are the only group I would actively go out and buy a poster of. I want this album cover on a jacket. No other band I've EVER listened to can say that.

I've seen bands not even half as good sell out concerts in two hours back in my day,(70's). This gen. just don't know what is right in front of them. Four (first) albums of perfection from a band so young. Unheard of in any gen. Take note now.

Y'all I just saw them in concert, THEY SOUND EXACTLY LIKE THIS IN PERSON! 100% Best concert I've been to in my entire life!

One of the best songs I’ve ever heard. Not joking.

Man... why do long masterpieces like this still manage to feel so short?

This song is pure and utter perfection. Everytime I listen to it feels like watching an epic movie.

Bro that guitar 🎸 player is amazing 6:42 😌

JAKEY REALLY DID IT IN THIS SOLO

THAT GUITAR SOLO HAS SAVED MY SOUL. HOLY SH*T

That guitar solo is already EPIC.

Okay, folks - what ya got here is one of ROCK’S FINEST VOICES, with quality material that could’ve been released in 1968 and given the rest of Rock Stardom a run.. all of this could always be done on original analogue equipment of that time and they can easily do it LIVE.. which is always best.. The band would be aging billionaires today, so I’M GLAD we all have a chance to watch them grow up through the next few year - you may literally NEVER have a chance to enjoy watching the future develop for such superb talent and music EVER again

The solo is incredible

Danny’s ideas for the drums… “OK, so do you guys remember the energy that I had in lover leaver taker believer? For like the last 30 seconds of that song? Well, I figured that I should do that energy level for 4 minutes in the middle of this song. OK? OK. Wonderful.”

This song gave me my first musical high. When I first listened to this song I turned my headphones to max volume and laid down on my bed, half of the time staring at the ceiling and half closing my eyes. I truly felt the song, the vocals with the drums and the emotion that flowed out of jakes guitar, there is such a beautiful synchronicity between them. As the guitar solo started to come to fruition I opened my eyes and looked at my ceiling, every note perfectly played as heartfelt poetry, the room began to spin. Everything lined up perfectly, the panning of the guitar from channel to channel, and the passion of the drums. Beautiful composition.

While I don't listen to it as often as some of the others, this is by far my favorite GVF song... Mind you, the rest are damn good, but this one legitimately puts me in a trance.

This is a spiritual experience. This is beyond anything I could've imagined and I'm sitting here so emotional. Thank you GVF!

WOW that guitar solo made me cry, BEAUTIFUL

When I listen to greta van fleet..... so does literally every one around me

Jacob's guitar gently wept. And so did I.

Honestly this whole album was an adventure, every song had something that resonated with the soul. This album is a masterpiece there was literally no song that was filler which says a lot today.

The guitars riffs in this song are on a godly level

I can't be the only one who listens to this and thinks, 'how have i never heard this before?' This is awesome!

The greatest guitar solo of the 21st century. Take a bow, Jake!! 🤘🎸🎶

starting from 4:44 there are just endless waves of goosebumps

Raise of hands if you’re listening to this album alone because your friends really aren’t into GVF.

A song and a band that will endure time......

The quality of this band is beyond belief. Love it.

These guys are the real deal. A total sensory overload from the pure and honest instrumental perfection, then to accompany that with such a raw and powerful voice with such range, that just adds an additional layer most groups aren't fortunate enough to work with. This is the first band since the days of the Beatles,Stones,Clapton, Led Zeppelin and the other many greats to physically give me chills. That is what music is all about. Feeling the experience. Amazing work gentleman, you've got my support 👏

This entire album just blew me away. Every song could be a classic in its own right. I don’t know how GVF does it. Yes, I do, they do it with unlimited talent and a true love for making music. While the unbelievable artistry of all the guys is on display here, Jake’s creative guitar work soars to another whole plane.

A masterpiece. This song blew my mind. I felt like I was having an out of body experience listening to it. It is already a severely underrated track.

Someday this solo will be remembered as a classic

Not gonna lie, I nearly started crying as soon as the riff came in. This, boys, is your Bohemian Rhapsody. Absolute masterpiece.

This song is AMAZING from beginning to end.

The crash of the drums at 0:30 is pure perfection.

Petition to remove the ad you get from the middle of this song!!

I didn’t think they could out do the guitar solo of Broken Bells. Good god man.

Thank you GVF for keeping millions of hearts around the world afloat with your amazing music and talented vocals! Much love from Canada, looking forward to seeing you guy's live 🤘❤🤘

How this album didnt hit gold is beyond me

All across the west we traveled wayward for To find the weight of dreams in gold Heaven sent us here to meet the hallowed shore To claim the wealth that we had sold Gold mines melting men in the sunshine Spoiled wine tastes so sweet we have gone blind Gold mines melting men in the sunshine Spoiled wine tastes so sweet we have gone blind We stole from her a cloak of studded majesty The queen is dead, we robbed her grave You can still bathe in the river, but it ran dry And all of us have turned away Gold mines melting men in the sunshine Spoiled wine tastes so sweet we have gone blind Gold mines melting men in the sunshine Spoiled wine tastes so sweet we have gone blind

An ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE

Now this is RAW TALENT!

This track has one of the best endings … half the track is just music epicness

This whole album takes you on an emotional journey from earth to heaven and back. Best album I have heard in a while.

They were great when they first came out. This puts them over the top superstar status.

Picture yourself with a storm outside which is the world and all the noise and obstacles you will find. The weight of your dreams will keep you focus, ignoring all the distractions, all the struggle, and in the end you just take a breath and you are there where you always wanted to be and that is the end of the song, the sun will shine after the storm... what a song !!!!

I need help. I got so much to study. But I can’t stop listening to this song. Especially the freaking solo. I’m dangerously addicted.

3 days ago, Ultimate Guitar posted on facebook that these guys were ready to drop their 3rd album soon. I thought to myself that it was finally time to give these guys a proper go. I had heard 2 of the songs from their EP, but that was pretty much it. Here I am now 3 days later, and this has become one of my instant top 10 favourite bands. I’ve made a playlist with all their songs, the 8 EP songs, 11 debum album songs, and 12 2nd album songs. And there is really NO bad songs. No song is even close to bad. They’re all great. The playlist contains 31 songs, it lasts 2 hours, and this thing ends all of it. What a way to end it! I love this. I wish all the robert plant fanboys could put it away and give them a proper chance. I listen to my entire playlist about twice a day now, and I’m so happy I made it. I am now their biggest fan. They bring me hope for the future, for the first time in forever. Mastodon, Coldplay and Muse were the youngest bands I listended to before this, and they’re all pushing 50 now. Pop music has been safe for a while, and now finally, ROCK IS SAFE!❤ Thank you, Greta Van Fleet

The solos of this song are incredible... Perfect

I wish I could hear this song for the first time again. It's just... it's beautiful.

I am a 60 years old rocker, enjoying rock music again! Thank you GVF ❤

They had to basically make a new song in the first half, and not only managed to do that and put in some BEAUTIFUL acoustic breaks... but they managed to capture that energy they had in Black Flag. This is the most prog-rock song they’ve made and I love it. Jake’s best song and not only because of the solo. The chord progressive riff, previously mentioned acoustic... Masterpiece.

I’m 66 and I just got my cd of this album so I can “fly”to work tomorrow and dream of the days gone by when this song could have gone up against anything played in the late 60’s or into the 70’s. Fantastic music, let’s hope it fires up more young talent to step forward and rebuild Rock the way it’s supposed to be. 🇨🇦👍

Wow . what a great album finisher!!!! in a couple of years Jake will be considered one of the best rock guitar player .in the world .

This album blows me away, haven’t heard such great music in years, a mix of angel, rush, and zeppelin blows my mind they are great

The gold mines to the gone blind part is my fav part
