This guitar solo always makes me cry. It takes me back to those bittersweet memories of young love that you thought would never end, and summers of our youth when everything felt possible. I share this song with others and they don’t seem to feel what I feel. I wish I give them one ounce of what this gives me. I’m 34 now and so happy with how life has evolved. But music is a Time Machine and gives a brief glimpse into the people we once were. One of the most beautiful things my ears have ever heard. ❤️
A year later and these guys have withstood all the greta van fleets and lizard wizards and all the new age rock. Their music is timeless, and every album and track is consistent. They are next level musicians, not riding the wave of youth and splendor like the younger generation of rockers. Adam is the next Springsteen. But better.
I'm super lucky to have played in some really decent bands. I know what it's like when you get that coming together moment in a band where you're all firing on all cylinders and it just blends perfectly. There's no feeling like it. It's pure magic. But I've never been in a band that has that connection every single time they play like this lot do. I can only imagine how it must feel for those 6 guys every time they play together. They're truly phenomenal.
You said it exactly... When I watch them it's incredible how in sync they are, yet so clearly performing to the max individually - even an average person is left realizing that something extraordinary - almost spiritual - is going on- I can't get enough
I've seen them in concert twice, once at Red Rocks. Life changing to see TWOD live. Just can't wait to see them again this fall. The emotions just flow inside me seeing them play...
@@desmondjohnstone thanks Desmond.. I'm 62 70s rocker and I'm finding this good music on my daughter's music list.. I thought music composition was a lost art, so am happy to see these guys.. Send me a few others you think I might like .. Best Jay
@@jlm8699Hi Jay, I'm a little bit older than you,67 but still rocking on, so glad to hear that you like the music of TWOD, you ask to send a few others that you might like, do you mean specifically The War On Drugs tracks or some music that appeals to me, cause that is a big task, I have a really broad music spectrum, ranging from Pink Floyd, Los Lobos, Ry Cooder, Talking Heads, Queens of the Stone Age, Calexico, Steely Dan, Eric Clapton, Frank Zappa, Foo Fighters, and a hell of a lot more, need I go further ? As far as The War On Drugs is concerned, here are a few gems: Red Eyes, Under The Pressure, Pain, Thinking of a Place, Holding On is my personal favourite, you find them all on you tube, don't forget the headphones !!! Keep on rocking Jay
@@desmondjohnstone thank you.. Same music likes... Kind of late in listening to some bands Never listened to Foo fighters Actually I listen to church hymes while meditation, then hop to 70s, Hendrix.. I discovered Brandi Carlisle recently and smashing pumpkins..don't laugh.. Big Beatles fanatic.. My older brother is your age so I grew up on Woodstock genre Ten years after, Yardbirds.. Started exploring black Sabbath too... thanks
Diese Band hat einen Sound der im ersten Moment altbackend klingt, aber er ist sowas von geil das man alles um einen herum vergessen kann. Man spricht von Don Hanley usw.. Hier ist auch jemand der für mich phantastisch E-Gitarre spielen kann. Und es holt mich sogar emotional ab. Ich bin gerade ein Fan von Euch geworden und werde es posten. Einfach ein Hammer.
You guys rock it so good Thanks for that 😎😬you bring all the great bands together in with inspiration .al Stewart. Springsteen. Billy Joel. Grateful Dead. And your own heart & Soul. Come to Boston
imho all great art comes from a dark place and the album Lost In The Dream is a great example. The musicianship is stella of course but its the dark optimism and resignation of it lyrics that pulls me in. Its a modern classic that's for sure.
if i was at this show you'd see my right away because i'd be the only one flipping out to every song. ...crowd's a little reserved for this awesomeness if you ask me
And how many other resonances can you find? I also hear Warren Zevon and Ryan Adams and that's just a handful of his vocals. The music, the lyrics and the production are also richly resonant.
Glenhookey, thats where thy totally blew it at a concert in Sweden, I think it was. The mix was totally wrong and the sax overpowered everyone else. So, yes, you're right. They're both really happy at 4:35. : )
It’s like Bob Dylan + Bruce Sprinstenn and Echo and the Bunnymen had a gorgeous baby. I’m late to the game - why haven’t I heard these maniacs before now.?
+Nick Taylor Because of all the amps I mean. Also over 100 effects pedals. And in addition to that, his mic-stand appears to have some sort of cup-holder, which I think it quite a good idea.
My dad turned me on to this band years ago with the lost in a dream album. I didn't immediately dig it but after I'm not sure how many listens. Not many more at all, i found out what a master piece that it was. Lost in a dream and a deeper understanding are a couple of the best albums ever made. Too bad both my vinyl copies of Lost in a dream are shit. Thank God for the CD!!!! I have seen them twice live and I hope that the last time was not my last.
I was sailin' down here on the wind When I met you and I fell away again Like a train in reverse down a dark road Carrying the whole load Just rattling the whole way home Have you fixed your eyes to the wind? Will you let it pull you in again on the way back in? I'm a bit run down here at the moment Let me think about it, babe Let me hold you There's a cold wind blowing down my old road Down the back streets where the pines grow As the river splits the undertows But I'd be lying to myself if I said I didn't mind Leave it hanging on the line Lost inside my head Is this the way I'll be denied, again? So I'll set my eyes to the wind But it won't be easy to leave it all again Just a bit rundown here on the sea There's just a stranger living in me As you set your eyes to the wind And you see me pull away again Haven't lost it on a friend I'm just bit run down here at the moment Yeah, I'm all alone here, living in darkness
Wish he would sing it with the same melody of the album. Having said that, I love the instrumental variations from the album, especially beginning around 4.01 with the solo guitar and the sax coming in hard at 4.30. Frustrating that he is doing an Adam (like my other idol Adam Duritz of coutingcrows) and by that I mean experimenting with the melody and intonation of the vocals, which distracts more than anything.
+Jon Bedford I agree, the only song that surpasses the album version is dissapering on KCRW sessions, I would like all the songs live reached that level, "eyes to the wind is beautiful", but still with that epic sax solo this version owe us vocally
Its exactly what one of his major influences, dylan, always has done Some are distracted but others love it, provided it's still tuneful, which i think he is.
I love this version, and I don't find it distracting at all, quite the contrary. I love their guitar-playing, especially Adam's solo guitar- playing, keyboards, drums, and I love that saxophone! I love these guys; I love this band! I find it interesting to improv and not always play the same and duplicate the recorded version.
