It was back in Little Bend that I saw you
Light was changing on the water
Where birds above it flown
There was pain in your eyes
So you vanished in the night
Missouri River in the distance
So I lied upon the lawn
I remember walking against the darkness of the beach
Love is like a ghost in the distance, ever-reached
Travel through the night because there is no fear
Alone but right behind until I watched you disappear
I'm moving through the dark
Of a long black night
Just moving with the moon
And the light it shines
And I'm thinking of a place
And it feels so very real
Just moving through the dark
Once I had a dream I was falling from the sky
Coming down like running water
Passing by myself alight
In the morning, I would wake to the sound of summer falls
Like little whispers through the signs
I'm moving through the dark
Of a long black night
And I'm looking at the moon
And the light it shines
But I'm thinking of a place
And it feels so very real
Oh, it was so full of love!
Come and take my hand, babe
There's a turn in the road that we've been taking
But it'll set you free
Because there's a rhythm in the way that we've been moving
Yeah, there's a darkness over there, but we ain't going
See it through through my eyes
Walk me to the water
Hold my hand and something turns to me
Love me every night
Drown me in the water
Hold my hand and there's something turning me
See it through my eyes
Love me like no other
And hold my hand and something turns to me
And turns me into you
Lead me through the light
Pull me from the water
Hold my hand and something turns to me
Turns me into you
Just see it through my eyes
Love me like no there
Hold my hand and something turns to me
Turns me into you
Turn to me
Into you
Light was changing on the water
Where birds above it flown

Superb song, atmospheric
Hearing this song once a week is a little much.
bit crap this innit
This album will be my next vinyl purchase.
My Colombiana thinks this deserves to be a 9, so make it so (she has good taste, Charlie)

I must be stuck on replay this and other songs are always played how about some good new music
I always think that this is Bryan Adams when he first starts singing. Nice tune ....

I was on a lonely, dark road in central Michigan last night when this came on the RP app.
Snow swirling hypnotically around the car. Farmhouse lights in the distance. A blinking amber light above an intersection. And this playing loud.

I always think of "Goodnight, California - Kathleen Edwards" when I hear this track. I like them both.
I've had Lost in the Dream on vinyl for about a year and still love it. Need to pick this one up too.
My first time hearing this song. Lovely!
Shoe Gazing in my backyard when I was young....remembering good times..I love this guys style & song writing...simple yet sophisticated!

it's not a bad song but I think the Quaaludes are winning this skirmish
I don't know what it is about this guy. A lot of musicians are able to take you somewhere with their music, but Adam Granduciel seems to do it in a unique way. Maybe I've not listened to enough music, but this stuff doesn't remind me an any other artist. It's his own style. I don't know how people do that.

Yeah. It would be a real snoozefest to be this band's drummer. I love their melodies and their guitar hooks though. This tune gets an 8 from moi.
Try listening to some of the other songs on the album (A Deeper Understanding), like In Chains or Up All Night. If you were the drummer, you wouldn't be asleep.

I took the opening chords (at 1:30 or so) and made them my iPhone ringtone a couple of years ago. When my phone rings in a restaurant or an elevator, I invariably get a "wow! The War on Drugs! Cool!" or at least a nod of recognition. Everyone loves this song, and rightfully so. (By the way, I don't know who transcribed the lyrics in the column to the left, but they're quite inaccurate.)

...and I bought their two recent albums because of this song and Under the Pressure. Great stuff. Solid 9. Ok...10.
Oh, wow! I keep my 10.

In general, when people refer to "harmonies" in a song, they are referring to the harmonized vocals. I believe Laptopdog was referring to "vocal harmony" or "harmonies", which would require more than one voice singing - and this song does not have. I don't believe he was referring to the broader definition of "harmony", though perhaps the post he was responding to was referring to the "harmonious" arrangement of the song.
And I find it odd that 'in general' ends up meaning "more specifically." All OP said was "beautiful harmony" which is rather generic sounding, and seems to fit the broader harmony than vocal harmony. At least we're not talking about it being cacophonic. LLRP!!

Haunting dreamlike song with a jarring nightmare (in a good way) guitar solo. I love it

Yes, the music mix is absolutely superb.

Is a great album

Liquid kazoo-like guitar. Hmmmm.
I think you are right. Never heard a description like that!
Glad you liked it! Several other artists use an electric guitar to create a liquid kazoo-like guitar sound. Notably Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree fame.
It is jaw-dropping amazing the sounds that electric guitars can produce these days. Many of us, count me in too, often believe that sound x is coming from a keyboard synthesizer when the sound is actually coming from an electric guitar 'synthesizer'.

Earnest vocals. Liquid kazoo-like guitar. Layered guitars. A harmonica. Some sounds inspired by Talk Talk. A nice mid-song hook.
Dreamy, lush.
I dunno.... this one should catch on and garner a bit of a following. Looking forward to the new album.

Snow swirling hypnotically around the car. Farmhouse lights in the distance. A blinking amber light above an intersection. And this playing loud.

Every time I hear them, I like them more. You know how something gets better the more you hear it, sometimes? Not for everyone, via the single comment below.
Absolute crap! This played just a day or two ago, at around the same time of day. It crosses the threshold from boring to irritating, so I couldn't just ignore it and tune it out, had to mute both times.
This much airplay and a 7.7 rating - clearly RP & its audience are on a divergent track from mine. After 10+ years of listening, that's too bad, it's impossible to contribute when the need to mute is actually increasing!

beautiful harmony
Thank you RP for introducing this amazing group back in 2014 or thereabouts. I feel so lucky to know of their fine music, and wouldn't have without RP. The best station, streaming or otherwise, ever. You have blessed my days and nights since I first discovered you and helped me through so many tough times. Thank you for being such a beautiful gift!
This one gives me goosebumps everytime I here it.
10... what else :)
This is such a lovely number. The Dylan impression is a little daft and the drumming is flat and repetitive, to my ears only of course. Having said that, it's just churlish to look negatively at such lovely music. Thanks for bringing them to me, RP.
I'm not sure that I've ever heard a song that quite so perfectly captures the essence of how nostalgia - the bittersweet, melancholic longing that sits somewhere between your stomach and your heart.
Just moved it to a 10! This song moves me to tears. Not often I hear a song I get tottally lost in.
Yep that's right!!!!! bobcouch wrote:

This song has become ingrained into my mind and I'm glad- sounds a lot like a classic already. love this album. love this band.

Like most genre labels, it's somewhat vague and inaccurate, though I believe it may have first been applied to Mellencamp, who was not urban - he was a very small-town, rural guy - or at least played up that image.

Really good song but the production quality seems to be wanting. I wonder what would have happened had they worked with an A list producer.
