I was 21 and working as a gardener i a small company, for years people (mostly my some of my teachers at school) told me that i worked to slow to work in a normal company but instead needed to go to a special sort of company for people with a disability. Suprisingly my boss found me that good that he gave me a little second hand company car to do some of his costumers, a few days later i was driving around in that car and then this song pops up on the radio, and i just felt so proud at what i had achieved. Moral of the story never stop believing in yourself. :)

I turned 31 years this year in August 25th, on my birthday I woke up at 4am and drove to my favorite beach (Manhattan beach, CA). Upon arriving there I was alone and free from everything and everyone. Ive battled with depression and anxiety all of my life, one of my most recent battles I was facing was my codependency issues people have brought up for me. First time in my life I was okay being my self, by myself. I felt the true understanding of the fear I was being held back from loving the most important person I have in my life and that is myself. This song takes me back to that moment standing there in the waters of the beach finally feeling free and accepting myself. It takes me back to that moment where I wish I could live in forever; that moment.

I turn 74 tomorrow, a lifetime Dylan fan. I heard The War on Drugs for the first time just the other day. How did I miss them, their earlier albums? Age maybe? Huh? Anyway I heard this song this afternoon and instantly knew it was a GREAT one. Think of it, I have heard and taken in music of all kinds since shortly after WWII, so much water over the dam, in my life, and yet this strikes me as a beautiful, deep song. See it through my eyes. :)

My uncle showed me this. His dad recently died and he told me that he found this song when his dad requested it a few minutes before he died. He remembers the serenity of playing that song in the hospital room, holding his phone up to his dad's ear, one last song before it all goes black. I was sitting outside under the stars when he told me this. Really hit differently.

[lacerta]

fun fact: the first time i heard this song was on a roadtrip along the west coast of ireland on the only channel that had signal.
we were all quiet and just listened to it. honestly, that was a feeling i still have no words for.

One of the best songs written during the 2000's. Poor souls to those who will never experience this masterpiece

[Sunnijimelliott]

This song is hauntingly beautiful. When that harmonica kicks in at 7:35 you melt in your seat. What a timeless masterpiece.

[tejoquidon]

As a truck driver I listen this words and music over and inspiration, enjoying the loneliness over the road. Thinking of that place!!

I love how all of the comments are so beautifully written and how much every person who wrote one is in love with this song

[rareacts]

This is like Pink Floyd, Dire Straits and Brian Adams mixed into one.

What a masterpiece.

First heard this song at a bar while waiting for my date (ex girlfriend) to show up. I was completely drawn in to the music structure and melodies. She arrived seconds later after the song started and we had one of the best nights ever talking the night away, having drinks, and laughing. Every time this song comes on I think about that one night last year when I was with her having a great time. It pains my heart whenever I listen to it because I'm reminded of her so much. I miss her.

Reading these beautiful comments, I felt the need to tell mine. So, I just recently graduated and my life had been a rollercoaster. My mom passed away way back 2019 after fighting cancer for 4 years. My dad died last year due to car accident. I was his last backride on his motorcycle, and I still remember that last glance I gave to him after he gave me a ride to the hospital where I practiced my internship as a medtech. People may think I’m coping well with what I’ve been through but every night when I’m alone, I can’t help but feel everything at once and cry silently, hoping that I will have better days ahead and that the hardships I’ve been through were all gonna be worth it.

Fast forward, on June 15, I graduated and being awarded as an outstanding medical technology intern in my favorite lab section, hematology. It’s definitely all worth it. And now, I just got hired and will start my job tomorrow.

I’m still anxious whenever I think what my future will be. There may be more bad days ahead but good things have been here and will more to come. For whatever it’s worth, I guess the act of being more in the present and just try to live life, is enough :)

To mom and pops: Thank you for raising me. Love you both always

[anderspernefalk]

This song is a journey and a healing for the soul.

[patrickkinney]

I quit my soul sucking job after listening to this song for a couple days. 2nd best decision I've made in my life. Live without fear.

[gerryrodgers]

People who suffer great pain can be greatly comforted by beautiful music like this. Often I did not understand this well enough for persons I cannot bring back to life now

[ThatMadCat]

Words can't describe how much I love this song. Truly a masterpiece.

[f.lundamo]

discovered this on my helicopter going home from oil platforn where I work the northern sea, Norway. The cabins mandatory headphones/ear protection and a playlist designed by its own company. flying low over the sea, ascending slowly towards soft blurry white clouds no sun. so trippy, whimsical and marvellous. Had no clue how long it lastet..lost track of time and space after a long nightshift. Too many hours awake, Love at 1st sight. Thanks guys. Bless

This song is such a masterpiece that it will resonate for everyone differently in their own special way.

First third of the song takes me back to the unexpected death of my baby son at one week old. Middle third takes me back to the years of grief and pain my wife and I went through after, hoping we'd one day be in a better place again. Last third of the song is the love and joy our one-year-old girl has brought us since.

I am 65 and a whole lot of the people I know my age insist there isn't any good music being made anymore, No, they just don't look hard enough. This is a good as anything they were playing when I was in High School.

[sanjaytarak]

I just pray to God I meet atleast one person in real life who loves this song and we tell each other our stories attached to this song.
