The War on Drugs - Under The Pressure (Official Video) 

Music is literally the only glue that holds me together in this world.

I'm 60 years old and I found a new band! LOVE THIS!

This is the anthem of starting over, leaving a painful past behind

On a building site in Hammersmith London today. Heard this coming out of someone's jbl speaker they'd set down. I just stopped and listened. Asked who's it was, and what this song was. Guy found me the track. Here i am 7 years since this dropped. What a beautiful song 🎵

By the time this song ends you didn't realize of those nearly 9 minutes that the song lasts. That's what I call magic. Definitely it's one of the masterpieces of the past decade.

This is criminally underrated. This group is amazing

I had the pleasure of seeing them on Friday night at The Royal Albert Hall. Seeing this song performed live is like a spiritual experience.

10 years later, and this song is still in my rotation. I never get tired of this song at all, mixing so much styles of rock music with intense emotion. The War on Drugs is criminally underrated.

Damn... thank you Netflix for giving Bojack Horseman the opportunity to be one of the best (if not the best) series i've ever watched... it earned that title because of the feeling you get after watching every single episode and season plus having such an awesome soundtrack for those moments when you're just wondering if you're not a "Bojack" yourself...

These guys are saving my life ultimately, since I´m goin´ through severe depression! Thank you for the inspiring music.

Reminds me of being in the car, as a kid, in the late 90s, early 2000s. In the rain. Driving from Toronto to Montreal, to visit extended family. Dad at the wheel, Mom reading a book. Man do I miss those days. Never knew things would ever get so hard. Thought the jubilation and shear joy of life, family, friends... it was all just a given. I dream about it in my sleep, still. And then I wake up, and try to find a way to make that my life again... not back, but forward. It won't ever be the same. But it might just do.

This guy has my guitar! I sold this guitar to a music store in SE Portland Oregon way back in 2008! With my 2 other brothers who were in a band together, since My 2 brothers have passed away, so I'm so happy to see this guitar again, makes me happy and sad, but me and my brothers loved that guitar. Amazing to see it living on a new life!🙏❤️

Love you guys. From Iran. Under the pressure.

I run marathons. This is one of my favorite songs to listen to while out running. From the steady beat at the start of it, to the more raw feel of the final chorus, to the dreamy state for minutes at the end. This song is gorgeous, at least to me.

When you feel like you connect with no one in this world... connect with music.

53 years old and I found this track so emotional

I was speeding home on an empty highway late at night when I first heard this song on the radio. It was magical.

Found this band by accident on RU-vid (like many people I guess) and started listening to the various tracks on here. Being nearly 70, I obviously don't take to a lot of the computerised music that is created these days. That's ok though, it is just how the world evolves. However, this band seem to have that X factor for me. Very original and not just going with the trends. If they have a story to tell, they tell it. Well crafted, well played and just going about their business. Having seen many of the legends live back in the 79s and 80s - Deep Purple, Status Quo, Frank Zappa, Santana, Supertramp et al - it was a pleasure to discover these guys and restore my faith in original music. Hope they keep it up for a while yet. I will be listening.

Propably the best song of the last two decades.

This brilliant track is literally aural peyote. It's riveting, soul stirring. They didnt just catch a wave with this one, they became the wave. Well done guys. It conjures up so much energy and emotion and takes you on a journey that you never want to end. What a ride.

This is a road trip song, a song you play when you leave your life behind, and drive to pastures unknown, onward to the next phase of your life EDIT: 1.4K Likes!! Thank you guys, I’ve looked at your messages and I hope you’re all in a good place and if you’re not, then the good times WILL come, hang on and enjoy this ride called life, we’re in this together. Bless you all ❤️❤️⭐️⭐️

Love the hypnotic piano riff and high hat combined with the dreamy guitar and vocals. I'm 62 and just discovered these guys. Joy Division, Neil Young, Roxy Music, Thelonius Monk, Echo and the Bunnymen ... Now thsee dudes join my favorite group of magicians.

[Verse 1] Well, the comedown here was easy Like the arrival of a new day But a dream like this gets wasted Without you [Chorus] Under the pressure Is where we are Under the pressure Yeah, it's where we are, babe [Post-Chorus] Oh, you're the only one Like an illusion [Verse 2] When it all breaks down and we're runaways Standin' in the wake of our pain And we stare straight into nothin' But we call it all the same You were raised on a promise Found that over time Better come around to the new way Or watch as it all breaks down here [Chorus] Under the pressure [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Well, the break down here Stole it all the way across I wanna climb downhill Stranded on When you come here and I'm wasted Lyin' on a field, dancin' in the rain Hidin' in the back, loosenin' my grip Wadin' in the water, just tryin' not to crack [Chorus] Under the pressure Yeah, it's where we are, babe Under the pressure Woo!

I am 78 and I found them 10 years ago. What a band is right.

Bojack makes me choke up several times each season, with the dialogues and the monologues and their choice of music that is so on point it makes me question my life. Goddamn this song is amazing..

Think I was searching for queen about a year ago "Under Pressure" so there's me intoxicated and depressed once again, think I clicked on this by accident. Listened to it all the way through, and then again, and again and again, started looking up there music. Found a comment on here about how it stopped a guys depression and stopped him wanting to give up. Never looked back from there on in. On hearing this in that very moment! My life just changed. I cried my eyes out realised changes needed to be made and cracked on with it. The War On Drugs what a band! Helped me massively reading that guys comment that night after hearing this. He said he heard it got into the band and all there music and it helped him and Boy it really helped me if they ever play in the UK I will be there.

Am I the only one that played this song 15 times in a row?

Can’t stop won’t stop listening to this.

One of the greatest songs ever written. At a time where music is made for the masses, written by old men, sung by actors, The war on drugs is an absolute diamond in the rough.

Once every 10 years a song like this comes along

This is a perfect album. The writing,playing, arrangements,production, mixing....all of it's just perfect.

The first time I heard this song I was driving through Joshua Tree National Park, CA and my entire life changed for the better

The song that can make me stop having a bad day for nine minutes.

It's hard to find words to describe how warm, beautiful and hypnotic this song is. I'm so glad I found this.

an anthem of our time,i surpose

My sister 's favorite song, i send you it to heaven my sister and soulmate...miss you

I've only just discovered this phenomenal band. It's like finding a priceless hidden treasure! I fell in love with 'Under The Pressure' within seconds of hearing it. What a tuuuuune!!! ❤

the build-up at 4:00 gives me the chills every time.

This song deserves a billion views.

I saw this band last Saturday supporting the Stones in Hyde Park! I didn’t really know anything about them! I thought they were awesome! Truly beautiful, haunting, uplifting music!!!

The first time I heard this was at the gym I was working at in the winter 2014, shortly after a bad breakup. The outro caught my attention, so I quickly asked google what track it was and downloaded it. One of the most beautiful discoveries I made, especially considering the rough depression I was experiencing. I soon saw this video one morning on TV before going to work. This song always made me feel so good, almost like it reminded me everything was gonna get better. It really took my mind of self destructive behaviors and suicidal thoughts. It motivated me to do better for myself because I deserved it. Years later (2018) I found out that this whole album was one absolute masterpiece. I'm actually sad I missed out on the other songs during 2014-2015, the healing process would have been better. Cheers to The War On Drugs.

This music floats like a silk cloth over the hustle and bustle of a big city. Finding its climax in the setting sun behind the skyscrapers. Epic.

what kind of music is this That's beautiful. I listen to it all the time in this joyless world where we have the best time by ourselves. So beautifully nostalgic 80-90 years forever.

Few are the songs I fall in love with ‘first listen’. Thanks a bunch to The War on Drugs. ‘Awesome! 👍🏻

Dear The War on Drugs, i'm from Mexico and this song it's my favorite the all life, i ear when i feel sad, happy or pensative, i discovered it since 2018 and until today it's still my favorite, you are very talented, guys, i hope ear this song in live some day.

This is one of the best songs of the last 20 years. Art, a sensation for your ears!

My new favorite song :) Listening to this at work helps me get in a zone, concentrate and jam out, all at the same time. And yes, here's to happiness and love! Let's all be kind to one another and remember that we all see life from a different perspective; give each other a break. Here's to love and kindness and jamming out to awesome music :)

I was doing a job at a guys house in Walthamstow a couple of years back and talking about music, he told me about these guys Listened to them since. One of the things I love about meeting new people is things we have in common and sharing information on those things.

Fuck, I feel so alone. But this is beautiful.

Sometimes RU-vid actually recommends something I haven't heard before and now like. This is a great tune.

This band makes me a better person. ❤

You know, every now and a band comes along that leaves me speechless,I say to myself how is it that I have not heard of these guys? your music is so good so beautiful and poignant, sending me straight into self reflection in a dreamy state filling me with bittersweet nostalgia and inner peace! you guys are fantastic!!!!

I love it when i'm driving at night and this song comes on the radio it gives me chills everytime

Lying on my back Loosening my grip Wading in the water Just trying not to crack UNDER THE PRESSURE! WOOO! That crescendo hits me with a range of feelings every single time. Beautiful song.

Beautiful song for my car. Driving looking sunrise)

This was playing on the radio when I found out my father past. It will always be with me.

This is the kind of músic that the world need.

There is an inherent beauty to psychedelic music, helping find colors, shapes, and angles in the world that might be so readily apparent in an everyday setting. Great song.

I came here literally from the ending of bojack season 5... This shit hits deep

Saw them last night in London, at the Royal Albert Hall. They are amazing live. They ended the main set with this. I'm still buzzing

I feel like I need to share this album with every person I know

I love everyone who loves this song ;)

First time hearing these guys was last Sunday Glastonbury. What a great band, playing this track to death!

What a fantastic song. I keep reading from older folks like myself that where is the good music of the past. Right here in front of your ears.

Never forget the first time I heard this. My Dad found it and just told me to listen to the whole song while we watched the sun rise in the mountains in Breckenridge 4 years ago. One of the best 8 minute intervals of my life.

The greatest band of our generation. The War On Drugs.

A song which fits perfectly at night, or... One of those nights where the sky is clear and you can see all the stars and the moon. Fits great when staring at the stars and vibing/relaxing at the same time. Love it.

These guys are the Dire Straits of the 21st century and this is their Sultans of Swing.

Those opening notes, there's just so much in them. Depression, uncertainty, doubt, dread, fear, regret, and quiet desperation.

One of the best opening tracks on an album ever.

I am 70 yrs old. Driving to this song is amazing

Went through psychosis a couple years back for about 6 months and stopped being able to enjoy the music I loved so dearly due to it. I went to rehab and these guys brought me back to my love in music again. I found them prior but they were the ones that sparked that joy in music and the catalyst for me to come back to life again. Forever grateful it’s not a lot of times music can move me to tears but they are able too for some reason.

Best band for a late night.

I swear I feel like I've been transported back to early 80's England, and i'm loving every minute. This is divine.

I'm a ups driver and heard this song for for first time 2 years ago while I delivering packages during peak season (December) it touched my soul and I've followed this band since

I just saw your concert in Lisbon, and it was the best one ever!!! I sang, screamed, danced, and had goosebumps...your songs give so many emotions... 1 hour is not enough! We want more! Please come back SOON! I want to hear more, specially Holding On. Xoxo

I'm glad that there are a lot of Bojack fans here. It's a serie that deserve all of his viewers and much more.

My aunts dementia Is getting progressively worse along with other family members health. This song has been a comforting piece lately. Thank you.

a couple of years ago i was in a mall looking for clothes and this song started to play in the store, i was heavy into twod back then and without even noticing started to sing along while walking aroung the clothing rows, then i noticed people looking at me vibing with this awesome song and smiling, some even started vibing along, it was surreal but i loved that moment, never happened something like that to me before

The timing, the clarity, the movement of this song. Damn stunning.

I used to listen to the radio on my cellphone coming back from university, at a very hard time in my life, bearing up with the burdens of self acceptance. One day looking at dusk riding on the bus they played this song and it was utter bliss for me that I didn't bother to know the artist nor the name. Days went by and I couldn't stop thinking about this track, I used to tune into the radio at the same time, staring at the sunset, almost everyday for a month, until one day it came back to me. Made me realize of my perseverance, my nerve to find something that it was missing for me. Now I've come far ways from the place I was, I love and accept myself more and more everyday.

One of the most chill songs I have ever heard. A late night driving song that you can get lost in. I have been listening to it over and over. It feels deep and nostalgic. A modern day Pink Floyd in my opinion.

Saw this live this past summer. This song, outdoor concert on a Sunday night with not a worry in the world, just me and my girlfriend and a ton of laid back people.Hearing this song now reminds me of that night, it was truly magical.

I found this song around the time I developed symptoms of interstitial cystitis and I was in agony every single moment of single day… my relationship with my highschool sweetheart was also going downhill quickly. He had become emotionally and verbally abusive. These were very dark times for me. More often than not I wanted to end my life, if only to escape my suffering. But instead I would listen to this song and cry and feel like the pain inside my heart was being put into sound, and was being released. It’s been seven years since then. My IC is being managed by a local specialist. I’ve been in a healthy relationship for three years now. I still struggle with my mental health as I’ve always had a tendency towards depression, but I am on medication, which has helped save my life. I’m here and I’m still trying, even while under the pressure. And I still come back to this song from time to time. It reminds me how much I’ve overcome.

"How do you make something right when you've made it so wrong you can never go back?"

I discovered this group a little after I fell in love with the person who would become my husband. It was a long-distance relationship at first, before we had the money to move in together. On long and lonely drives in the country this music kept me company. Now we listen to this together in front of the fire on cold Colorado nights like tonight and enjoy it. Thanks for making this.

Thought I'd just check in see if people are still listening to this track?

I need more songs like this. You know with that indie-psychedelic ambient. Stuning 🤩

one of the most beautiful songs ever

This song is seriously so wonderful to fall asleep to. I was listening to it with my headphones on the other day while in bed and I drifted in and out of sleep and the song was a fantastic companion. Felt so relaxed and carefree.

Best band in the world.

I have been really digging this song lately, it is really helping me with our family's losses and illness going on for strength. The chords and Adam's voice are so uplifting and high frequency, "War on Drugs" always managed to chill me out and their sound is like no other and I cherish them for their vibe, and one of the few bands being "true" to themselves, not all flashy-grounded..or reminds me of my first time working with a blow torch with an old boyfriend satering metal for a 1930s Hudson we were restoring with the visuals of this epicly shot video...I remember the flecks of embers in the air burning me, teaching me to learn patience, and work mindfully.

this songs makes mdma do much better. Now I'm discovering The dephts of my spirit, mind and soul and reading morrison poems. Dont forget who you really are, nad what your feelings and dreams really are. Every single person who read it: you have amazing soul, dont waste it, and dont let them destroy it. stay tuned and strong❤💚

Lost in the Dream is one of those albums that comes once every 10 years... A deep, nostalgic album, full of emotions...

I sob to this over and over. It’s the greatest feeling ever…I’ll never stop.

I can't believe it's already been a decade since Lost In The Dream was released. This is one of those perfect from start to finish albums. Truly incredible.

I found this band during a United flight while I was watching 'Sharp Objects' HBO show on the on-board entertainment. I was blown away by their soundtrack 'Thinking of a place' which was the sound track of that show. I remember I kept rewinding the TC show just to listen to that tune! Fast forward, today on my walk youtube randomly played 'under the pressure' and I am again equally blown away by this band. There is a haunting quality to their music laced with profound deep sadness.

I'm so obsessed with this song. it's one of those songs where you relax on your bed and just stare into nothing, thinking about everything

This band is so good. The music brings joy, sorrow, nostalgia and 80s vibes all in one.

Probably the most played song ever for me. Music for my soul and I can't get enough 🥰
