I'm 59 years old, and this band is absolutely amazing! Incredibly fresh, powerful, and talented as Hell..One of the best bands to come out in the last 25 years.

[kerryphillips]

In May 2016, I was diagnosed with cancer: AML and had to start my chemo. I was away from my kids and family over a month. My boyfriend (at the time)-and I were tired of the same old music and asked the nurses each shift, to wrote their favorite music down. One Nurse had saw you your first time at The Red Rocks and wrote your name down. The second I Heard your music, I fell in love. See I lost ny Dad also the same week I was diagnosed to a heart attack. I was hurting. My heart, my soul and my body! You healed my soul in so many ways through your music and your lyrics! I am now 6 years in remission. I just bought tickets to see you at the Red Rocks in May. 6 years almost to the day of starting my chemo!! It is a dream come true. Knowing I can STAND and Sing my heart out in my new body and mind to this amazing soul music will be the best day ever!! Thank you for saving me. More times than one! I love you guys!! 😭😭💗😭💗😘

[Kelly_Ben]

This man's voice live is far better than many singers with technological help. It gives me goosebumps. Wishing them much success.

[rooseveltnut]

It's because of Kaleo that I've fallen in LOVE with Iceland. OMG what a band...what a place. Magnificent!

[sergiovela]

KALEO are criminally underrated. I love their music, and these LIVE renditions are always incredible. Much love from Mexico.

[bishera]

KALEO always take things to another level, and unique places.. Well done.

[Saulsebastian]

We must keep care the world so Kaleo can still perform those songs in such a beautiful places

[secondstonos]

Trust me you are not lost

Welcome to the good music club

[lesleyhadrill]

The blend of Kaleo in his beloved Icelandic landscape is truly a piece of art that touches many dimensions. Magnificent talent and rare beauty.

[thehushedits]

Let's take a minute and appreciate all this work, the how many hours it takes to travel to such places, the how beautiful these places are, the how they shoot those landscapes to show this breathtaking view and play all this amazing music on top of the whole theme. Kaleo is sure one of my favourite bands and I forget all my problems every time I listen to their music. Thank you.

[redfury]

How can anyone listen and not feel the music in your heart and soul. Takes a special gift to have that much soul, special!

[bengreening]

Hold the line, aye
Do you fight for pride or glory?
Do you hold your scars close to your heart?
Fall behind, aye
Who will live to tell your story?
You were taught to leave no man behind
I don't know where you've gone
You used to be the heart of this town
Now you waste your tears on someone else
I don't know where you are now
You used to have a heart of gold
Only trust yourself and no one else
Hold your fire, aye
Brave young men will fall before they
Ever get to watch their young ones grow
Hear me now, aye
Carry all my sins and I will
Learn to love the flag and nothing more
Oh, I don't know where you've gone
You used to be the heart of this town
Wasted all your tears on someone else
I don't know where you are now
You used to have a heart of gold
Only trust yourself and no one else
Oh, no one else
Woah
Woah
Yeah, you've got your back against the wall
Say, where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Got your back against the wall
Say, where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your back bone, brother?
Where's your back bone, brother?

[victorialamas]

Hold the line, yeah
Do you fight for pride or glory?
Do you hold your scars close to your heart?
Fall behind, yeah
Who will live to tell your story?
You were taught to leave no man behind
I don't know where you have gone
You used to be the heart of this town
Now you waste your tears on someone else
I don't know where you are now
You used to have a heart of gold
Only trust yourself and no one else
Hold your fire, yeah
Brave young men will fall before they
Ever get to watch their young ones grow
Hear me now, yeah
Carry all my sins and I will
Learn to love the flag and nothing more
Oh, I don't know where you have gone
You used to be the heart of this town
Wasted all your tears on someone else
I don't know where you are now
You used to have a heart of gold
Only trust yourself and no one else
Oh, no one else
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
You've got your back against the wall
Say, where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
You've got your back against the wall
Say, where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?

[kendraparks]

Unbelievable..I forget every problem and float to another level.. their music is meditational...and the live performances mystical... feeling blessed!!

[narekatsyy]

Can't wait to see their live performance on the Moon

[hollowcoves]

That awkward moment when you're a band who tries to do live performance videos in beautiful locations but then Kaleo just keeps doing this....

[willknight]

One of my favorite songs of the surface sounds album
This and Brother run fast hit differently 👌

[jessfrazier-ofmn]

You're a major impact within myself where I actually feel feelings. I am a disabled veteran with a medical Dischaarge. I am thankful for all that you do.

[ApeironSound]

Loving this once again. The location, the sound, the slight color correction, the cinematography.
You can't imagine how much I look forward to these videos. 🖤

[f.b.i]

The whole song is good, but 4:21 gives me chills every time…
