Listened to this song 3 or 4 times a day for about 6 months. Helped me get over a failed 5yr engagement. War on drugs, helped my life for the better. Plus me got into kurt vile & courtney Barnett; which is a added bonus. Thanks guys. Your a serious life saver.

This song makes me want to just walk out of my door and leave my worries behind. Damn good song!

[christopherbernadas]

I’ve been listening to this song for weeks over and over again, masterpiece!

[drivechannelyt]

Got into War in Drugs in 2018, they literally saved me from sadness. I had a lot of death in my life for a while and A Deeper Understanding in particular gave me the strength to see through it and get to a better place. This music is magic ❤️

Engineers at KEXP get it spot on every single song from every single band!! Amazing sound from a superb band ✌🏻

Once I was alive and I could feel
I was holding on to you
And I redefined the way I looked at dawn inside of you

I went down a crooked highway
I went all outside the line
I've been rejected, now the light has turned and I'm out of time

Ain't no way I'm gonna last
Hiding in the seams, I can't move the past
Feel like I'm about to crash
Riding on my line, keep keeping on

Once we were apart and I could see red
Never trying to turn back time
Never meant to bring my pain to the front and into your life

Now I'm headed down a different road
Can we walk it side by side?
Is an old memory just another way of saying goodbye?

Ain't no way I'm gonna last
Hiding in the seams, I can't move the past
Feel like I'm about to crash
Riding the same line, I keep keeping on

I ain't never going to change
He'll never get in line
I keep moving on the path, yeah
Holding on to mine

When you talk about the past
What are we talking of?
Did I let go too fast?
Was I holding on too long?

Ain't no truths from the past
As silent as the sea
Am I holding on too long?
But you're right in front of me

And I'm moving on a cast
Shadows on my seam
I keep moving to changes, yeah
Ooh

Heart or hope
Heart or hope
Heart or hope
Heart or hope

Best American rock band by far in 2017....

[zorby]

So damn good! The audio levels are perfect, and this recording captures what a masterpiece this song is. This is one of those songs you can just put on repeat and be happy...much like An Ocean Between the Waves

[fernandacoeto]

Man the way Charlie is playing makes me feel alive, thank you God for this band and their talents, we're blessed to hear them.

[lFrench]

By far their greatest ever song, it’s unmatched

[charlesstover]

It’s hard to believe this is live. The sound is perfect!

[miguelquintanilla]

This and "An Ocean in Between the Waves" are fucking perfection!

[gee]

Beautiful. Love the slide guitar. Thank you KEXP for excellent camera job/production each time! You know your work. Hate it when cameras/producers ignore guitar solos for example.

[erz]

[jorgecabrera]

Yo a la banda tengo poco tiempo de descubrirla, lo hice explorando playlist en Spotify y que aparece está canción! Tocan bastante bien, ya han venido a México al Corona Capital y en vivo suenan bastante afinados.

[cyrilbailey]

Je ne les connais que depuis 2 ans. Mais c'est un bonheur de les écouter grâce a vous. Leur musique est toujours un hymne à la joie. Merci j'adore encore encore encore encore 🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤

[angell.b.]

Esta canción me traslado de mi casa a la carretera y de ahí al campo solo con cerrar los ojos y escucharla bellísima❤

[jorgepaz]
