I want to share this band with somebody but nobody in my life listens to the same type of music that I do so I'm alone in this experience. Much love to you all. Thank you for your excellent taste in music and for existing. 💕

Ok, (I am almost 69, and just heard this band for 1st time tonight on Austin City Limits). Their sound woke me out of a sleep and inspired me to look up who this was. So sorry I’ve missed 13 years of brilliant indie rock, but happy to be enthusiastically on the bus now. This album is thrillingly good.

So bruce springsteen, dire straits and a lot of 80's vibes combined = The War On Drugs. Just amazing

The whole album is a masterpiece from beginning to end.

I think we all discover music in our own time. Sometimes right when we most need it. This band, specifically, this album was one of the moments just recently. Approaching 40 & experiencing what feels like an existential crisis, A Deeper Understanding was incredibly profound & beautiful. There are songs like In Chain and Strangest Thing that somehow fill a void in your soul perhaps you didn’t know you had. This album is an absolute masterpiece of music captured. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I’m forever grateful. -Gio

I don't think we're talking enough about how sad this video is. I am devastated.

Perfect. All of it

The War On Drugs is a breath of fresh air in an era of music that I have trouble finding comfort in.

This song touches the deepest emotional buttons, feel like a child again, discovering all the new emotions for the first time. This albums is a masterpiece and Lost in the Dream probably the album of the decade. This group deserves much more.

Why can’t I like it twice. In all seriousness this is probably my favourite song of all time. It just exuded a sense of freedom and joy I’ve yet to capture anywhere else. This song and by extension the band has greatly helped me get through quarantine.

Thank you Sophia for helping me discover this beautiful song!! 💙

The shoot at 4:16 is soo beautiful and well made, the way she removes the leaves from the back of that kind creature I interpret that as she's accepting the hard truth that everything's changing all the time, people coming and going away suddenly and dying as well. Life is not as vast and boundless as you may think. There is sadness along the way but it is really part of the journey. LOVE this band.

The drugs are winning

I AM OKAY WITH THIS!

I think this is my favourite song of all time, and I'm 54 !! An absolute masterpiece

Me and a few mates did a California road trip in 2017, this album is the soundtrack to that trip. Masterpiece.

I discovered TWOD in 2021, can't stop listening since

This band are brilliant. I'm a huge Dire Straits fan and I can see the musical progression very similar. Great band.

cute metaphor on friendship and the brevity of life (I was nicely surprised to see Sophia Lillis in the video)

I love this band. They’ve got me through grief, sadness, and have made me feel hope and happiness. ❤

Oh, I'm rising from within I see it every morning Tell me where the rhythm ends "Is it cold tonight my love?" I whisper through the screen And there is nothing I can say or do in between Oh, it always changes, I don't understand I keep moving through the edge and now Comes a feeling I can't stop Emotionless and dead Oh... you said You played my brother like fire You walked him through the rain There was [?] But the feeling that I get The warmth of your embrace There is nothing I can do if I am going away It was all so innocent You could feel my loving arms Then I saw you in the moving light You were standing in my door Emotionless and bored I've endured [?] All my waiting was in vain I walked alone in pain Through the early morning rain Be the warmth to my embrace Pull me underneath your shadow Once before I get erased But my love is on the line I pushed it through the back I kept sliding out of time Now our moon is on the rise There is always something bigger Leaning on the other side, yeah But you wanted me On the wrong path I've been hanging on the other side Keep on pushing back We belong here I'll take all I can get I've been hanging on the other side I keep pushing back

Where are my Sophia fans at???😍😍😍😍😍😍💗💗💗💗❤❤❤❤❤❤

A Deeper Understanding is the best album I’ve heard in a long time. I ❤️ it.

I want to meet Adam just to shake his hand, and say "thank you for making this masterpiece"

Best album of 2017... smack the thumbs up

Jesus Christ music can do in 6 minutes what no drug on earth can do. Thank fuck I found this. I can now face Monday 🙂

"You're all that I need, on the road up ahead" - I love this lyric

The girl in this video has my sympathies - I'm hopeless at keeping plants alive too. Seriously, though, this song is *amazing* and so is the video.

Please......keep making music. I needed this so much.

2:30 When someone accepts you as you are and without fear. Amazing

Sophia and The War On Drugs??? What can be better? literally my favourite group and my crush

The band name has always stuck with me. Makes me feel that they were once down and depressed but instead of resorting to drugs, they resorted to song writing. In a way, they have declared a 'War on Drugs' and the weapon of their choice is nothing but their music. Great band. One of the best this decade.

Sophia is such an angel. She is soooo pretty and talented. Her work will always be appreciated. She will always be amazing.

Feels like the 80s 😍❤️

All of their music gives me the chills. Every time I listen.

Lotta great songs. Pain is probably my favorite. I was so into the song, watching the video I didn't realize it was filmed in black and white until about half way through. Awesome! Under The Pressure video fimed at Austin City Limits Is a must see. The saxaphone will adrenalize you! Wow.

wait wtf why am i crying over a tree monster now

Oh, I'm rising from within I see it every morning Tell you where the rhythm ends "Is it cold tonight my love?" I whisper through the screen And there is nothing I can say or do in between Oh, it always changes, I don't understand I keep moving through the edge of now Here comes a feeling I can't stop emotionless and bored Oh, you said You played my brother like fire You walked him through the rain There was nothing but cold ? But the feeling that I get The warmth of your embrace There is nothing I can do if I am going away It was all so innocent You could feel my loving arms Then I saw you in the morning light You were standing in my door emotionless and bored oh oh yeah All my waiting was in vain I walked alone in pain Through the early morning rain Feel the warmth of my embrace Tore me underneath the shadows Once before I get erased But my love is on the line I pushed it through the pack I kept sliding out of time Now our moon is on the rise There is always something bigger Leaning on the other side, yeah But you wanted me On the wrong path I've been hanging on the other side Keep on pushing back We belong here I'll take all I can get I've been hanging on the other side I keep pushing back

What a song, my god. Imagine being the person who created it. I'd feel like I never had to accomplish anything else. This might be the best song ever and I'm not exaggerating.

Seeing Sophia dancing is very cute also the little dinosaur tattoo on her right hand is adorable.

Waking up to this?! Thank you God

I'm 65 years old & this band plays my music! Awesome & I thought real music was dead.

I’m not cool enough to get the deeper meaning of this video but I liked it anyway.

Yes Sophia ilysm omg

Sophia Lillis ❤😍

With Sophia Lillis, everything is better. ♥

Holy shit this is so good. A Deeper Understanding is the first album I've heard by this group and I honestly feel robbed that I didn't find them earlier

I have been listening to thousands of albums in my life and I am pretty sure that this is my favorite song of them all.

I just listen The war on drugs for the first time one month ago, and i'm fascinated with the sensations that its music produces on my whole body.

This is a tune, the record is phenomenal and they definitely deserved the Grammy.

I don't know you, but, i love you. thanks for the video.

So is that what Groot has become after the second Guardians? Damn, this song is insanely awesome, can't stop listening to the album, thank you guys..

This theme sounds so full of freedom and rejoicing for it. I think you feel like a child again, when you throw yourself with your soul so pure of innocence into the adventure of life. A true sensory journey to the depths of those sensations lived. For my part, I will not stop listening to it, even as an old man to remember how those times were. To enjoy again and again this masterpiece :D

I LOVE THE MV SO MUCH AND THE FACT THAT IT'S SOPHIA MAKES IT SO MUCH BETTER

a girl so beautiful and who also cares for the planet

How many of us love and enjoy listening this type of music? 👇🏼

Sophia my queen

This must be one of the best songs I have ever heard in my entire life. ❤️

Best band on earth Love these guys

Still listening in 2019 anybody? This band just brings good vibes and a pleasure to hear all their new music. They deserve much more recognition than they've gotten throughout the years.

So this is where bev went after she moved away from Derry 😁

This is a perfect song

Sophia if your reading this my brother says he love you and he hope that no one steal you from him

Sophia's smile gives me life everytime single time i see it

Vengo a recordar este hermoso tema a pocos días de terminar el año 2023. 🥀

This video is so beautiful! Look at Sophia my whole heart.

Magic song

Superb! Adam so wants to be Bob Dylan. But he drives beyond that. Awesome!

This song grows on you...like a plant. Just don't sleep on it.

so this is what bev was doing when she moved out of derry?

literally magic music

So glad to see the Cetelem dude on a War on Drugs video

They are one of the best bands ever. Full stop.

Saw them live in Columbus on the 20th. Speechless.

What is it about this band that always makes tears well up in my eyes?

Sophia dancing > everything else

Favorite song on the album, great video!

if you can not play this song 30 times a day, you're better than me. I can't stop playing it

If we smoke plants to get hi Does that mean plants get hi smoking people?🤔😮🤤

SOPHIA LILLIS!!!!😍

and then The War on Drugs came to keep putting music into my life ...

I just love the sound...Almost sounds like Bryan Adams, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Christopher Cross in one..Just love it

I love seeing Sophia Lillis!

I don't understand how there's not at least one whole generation madly in love with Sophia Lillis.

Not even halfway through and already loving it so much!! Such a good song and Sophia is a fantastic actress even when not using words

Just discovering this band. Amazing. Who's the girl in the video? Just saw her in a Netflix series a few years ago (how come no attribution in the video?).

It doesn't matter what Sophia is in. We will all be happy with what ever she does. She is THAT lovable

I used to live where the first half of the video was filmed. It was on Soledad Canyon Rd in Acton CA.

Sophia AND The War On Drugs? This is the greatest music video ever

Best band ever ! Come to Peru !

This video makes me cry every single time.

Beautiful spectacular amazing talented never been done before

This is the best music video ever made

Can you feel empathy for a tree-man that dies because it's autumn? Yup.

Heard this song on a Saturday morning radio show in UK i was blown away can't believe I'd never heard this band before.I was instantly hooked bought there last 2 cd's.Fantastic tunes to take you to a different place.Thankyou Dermot O'Leary for introducing me to class!
