Lyrics:

Banging on a drum
You turned me loose
Maybe I’m the living proof
What have I been running from?
I went down to the corner
They’re building up my block
Maybe I’ve been gone too long
I can’t go back
Oh, lonesome
I will protect
I’ll keep improving
Taking me home
I’m always changing
Now I suppose
I’m only moving
I’m in Chicago
Come to me now
I know the path
I know it’s changing
I know the pain
The pain you’ve been feeling
I’ve been to place
That you’ve tried escaping
I can’t recall
What I believe in
I’m always changing
Love overflowing
But I’m rising
And I’m damaged
Oh, rising.

Every once in a while, when you begin to feel modern music has nothing left to offer, a band like this comes along and restores your faith.

[andrewschlapp]

“A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

[martinhowe]

Thank you so much Adam for your muse. I am 64 and my life is tough. I live on my memories, which, over the years have reducing resonance and power. Your music is a re-invigorating, fucking lighting bolt of positive emotion and energy. I dream your hook lines. You and your toons are a massive life changer. For all of that and what it gives me, Gracias.

[Fatherjohn]

First listen: meh, it's ok but whatever
2nd listen: ok it's actually fairly pretty
3rd listen + a beer: holy shit no less than a negative space-embracing spirit of eden-esque rock masterpiece of understatement we have here boys
Love this band

[javier]

When you release a soft song as a single, that means you do believe in what you're doing. Can't wait for the album, guys. Thank you so much for bringing us such a quality of music.

[trianglecoton]

For whatever reason, I listened to this song every time I started the hour+ drive to take my dog for his chemo treatments. Miss you buddy. You were always my living proof. Hope I can keep improving for you. See you when I see you.

[andrewturvill]

Well this was a surprise...a very very very fantastic surprise

"Living Proof"

Banging on a drum
You turn, you lose
Maybe I'm the living proof
What have I been running... from?

I went down to the corner
They're building at my block
Maybe I've been gone to long
I can't go back
Oh long from
I will protect
I'll keep improving
Taking me home
I'm always changing
Now I suppose
I'm only moving
I'm in Chicago
Come to me now
I know the path
I know it's changing
I know the pain
The pain you've been feeling
I've been to the place
That you've tried escaping
I can't recall
What I believe in
I'm always changing
Love overflowing
But I'm rising
And I'm damaged
Oh, rising
Ooh

Every the war on drugs instrumental/solo parts should last at least a day.

[Biking]

One of the best bands I've ever heard.. and I'm old!!

[horrrorgasmus]

the war on drugs always has a way of capturing life into a very haunting yet calming music. pretty glad i received this notification today because my existence is drowning me lately.

[ernestsanchez]

The first time I heard this song I started tearing up instantly. That had never happened to me before with any song. I still get very moved when listening to this song, every word touches my soul, it really makes me feel heard and secure. This is definitely one of the most important songs I've listened to in the last 10 years.

[andreaespinoza]

New music from The war on drugs and The Killers, what a wonderful day to be alive

[colemanworthen]

40th birthday today, woke up to this gift 🥰

[xerxesalmighty]

I wish all musicians tried this hard and executed so well. This band, this man, can do no wrong. Every album is an evolution and an emotional experience. This is one War on Drugs that isn’t superficial. It fills the soul. Thanks for this teaser.

[davidtambornino]

This is exceptional. One of my favorites; discovered them about a year ago. I've been deaf 55 of 59 years and that says a lot. This music is wonderful.

[j.a.]

First, I want to thank each member of this super band :Adam, David, Robbie,
Charlie, Jon & Anthony. For making his music a way to heal so many wounds. Second: the video is excellent, dreamlike and deeply beautiful. Tons of thanks TWOD. I love you all.

[Overexposed]

I love the quiet confidence he has developed over the years. Crystal clear vocals. I feel like he used to hide behind walls of sound. This is great.

[amey_thakur]

This gives me peace tonight even if for a little while.

[omingomak]

The beauty of the war on drugs is the way they hit us all in a place we can relate. What a gift. What a band
