All I know is i'm a 53 year old grandma raised on the 70's hard rock .Zeppelin,Deep Purple ,Sabbath.And when I heard this today on the radio I liked it. Rock on.............
This song helped me so much with my depression... The whole Brothers album helped me with my depression... As soon as my friend showed me one of their songs, I instantly fell in love with them. I'd always think that no one would be able to churn out something this good these days, but my goodness, I was wrong..
My gears they grind More each day And I feel like They're gonna grind away And the city blocks They drive me wild They're never ending Mile after mile I just don't know what to do I'm too afraid to love you It's heaven on earth In her embrace Her gentle touch And her smiling face I'm just one wishing That I was a pair With someone Oh somewhere All those sleepless nights And all those wasted days I wish loneliness would leave me But I think he's here to stay What more can I
This is one of my favorite songs. I came across them by accident and instantly fell in love with their stuff. So, so refreshing to see people with real talent and soul. Soon as I heard them and this track in particular my first thought was, "what the hell have I been missing out on?!" Incredible, incredible band.
This man's singing voice is so alluring and full of passion it makes me melt. Every time I am done hearing this song I am convinced I would bear his children. They are just amazing!
These guys are awesome. I have them playing in my car now... sometimes on the way home from work or school or w/e I'll drive right pass my neighborhood and just cruise around my town before finally coming home, parking my car, and turning off the musik.
Who would ever dislike The Black Keys? Seriously, they're revolutionary for our time, especially in their old style... it's amazing how outdated quality music is. Much love for TBK!
I've been listening to these guys for only a short while and they are nothing short of amazing. I've gone back through their catalog from Brothers back to the Big Come Up and each album shows they are evolving in great ways while still retaining their roots. I look forward to their future endeavors and their ability to put me in my happy place no matter what I'm going through day to day. If YOU don't like it doesn't mean its not good! So Relax and Enjoy what IMO is good music!
Just because you found black keys through another band doesn't mean everyone does, they kick more ass then any band I've heard in a while and deserve a ton of recognition
Don't know these guys all that well but I'm starting to like them more and more. Most of the stuff I like is quite a bit heavier than this, but I find they have a groove that you just can't ignore. Powerful without being loud. Cool stuff.
I am so in love with Dan's voice. And Pat's synth in this song. I remember when this video only had a few thousand hits. Glad to see more people than I thought had good taste in music.
@TaintBruZer last year when brothers came out my ex, of six years, broke up with me. that helped a lot and it hurt to hear some of these songs. good thing i had a good friend who never left my side. but if you're going through something similar, you're not alone and it will pass. or atleast you'll be able to move on maybe you'll still think of em but hopefully deep down you'll know you don't want to be with em anymore.
Such a hauntingly beautiful song...so much raw emotion and power behind this one...The Black Keys will be relevant and revolutionary for generations to come.
hands down the best rock n roll band out,,, making real music... sum shit u can feel. ive jus been playin the guitar for six months but i play to these guys everyday.... "HAVE MERCY ON ME" N "BLACK MUD" are 2 great songs 2 play with #lovinmusic
Man.. This is fucking awesome.. I watch this quite often. Def one of my favorites on Brothers, and out of all. His glasses and him reading the lyrics and the reverb make this particular video amazing. Amazing voice, amazing music - it's sort of simplistic, yet it showcases The Black Keys' musical genius. Im not afraid to love the keys! To sum it up: I want to live in Dan's beard.
Wikipedia says they did an album of Junior Kimbrough songs. Its good to hear younger generations carrying on with the southern blues sounds and adding even more ideas. Look up Junior on wiki. what a great musician. I agree 21albec I like the glasses. Its an awesome video look.
Oops! Meant to start with: I will be 60 February 29, 2012 (or 15 in leap yrs.) and I love listening to the Black Keys. Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson and other Blues masters, I believe, would have had ...
@tele757, can you just drop the argument and realize that the black keys are awesome. Jesus all music is good. That's why I love classical, blues, jazz, rock, even dubstep and heavy metal. Anything except rap.
Cool! Got so much over 3 million since the last time I listened to this song for about dozen consecutive times... Black Keys sure know how to implement an emotion into such a simple and cool song...
@2Stardumb I have so much respect for TBK for their recording styles, this video, and their courage to have their music heard in a time where we've forgotten what real quality sounds like.. now I know.
AWESOME!! Saw the Black Keys at Bonnaroo this year and it was by far one of the best performances! Had no idea they recorded in my hometown Muscle Shoals!!! Hope they get more recognition they deserve because this band is full of talent!
a respect and appreciation of this kind of blues/rock which also exploded in the 60's 70's, making that era (civil rights, as well as women waking and taking their own rights, along with the citizenry responding to a 'war based on faulty politics') a catalyst for soul and heart art that transcends time.
