The War On Drugs - "Baby Missiles" (Official Video)

[Aquelanter]

I love this song... but I don't get all the lyrics. What is he going on about? Noone seems to have gotten it 100% right yet. (conclusion provided by googling).

[bunnyzero0]

I LOVE these guys, but I have to laugh, because their budget for videos must be about 20 bucks. Actually it's way more fun than some big corporate production!

[Tunnelof]

The new Bruce Springsteen?

[jessacatlinsssss]

Maybe.

[jessacatlinsssss]

Boy is my face red.

[Clerkkent21]

Kurt Vile is on this album.

[alternativstar5]

Neo-Bob Dylan

[PopeWithDaScope]

I hate Skins.

[Fauxbourg]

THE song of 2011.

[KKOPPI]

This song is addicting

[jessacatlinsssss]

This reminds me of Kurt Vile. 

[undertow555]

@jessacatlinsssss i feel sad for you.

[magicmike323]

@jessacatlinsssss You do know he used to be in this band right? The lead singer still plays guitar for Kurt Vile on tour sometimes.

[MarisaShorty]

I LOVE THIS SONG! Been searching for this for ages, it's so upbeat!

[adam17parker]

I cant even handle everyone only knowing this song through skins!! they are a quality band!!

[CHADandTracyLoveYou]

On my own > Skins

[movado1621]

i love this!

[nalgonn]

I LOVE SKINS!!!

[PaperBagRecords]

SKINS <3

[MattBlahh91]

skins might have become utter dog shit but they still know how to pick a tune

[TBSongs2011]

The Stepkids and The War On Drugs should join and they revolutionary the new age of music.

The Stepkids // Shadows on Behalf youtube com /watch?v=ykQhBk-FC1k

[JFleet326]

I'm pretty late but...Thanks Late night with Jimmy Fallon.... Good Stuff for sure

[batblood1]

Skins always the best music

[chrlskrkl]

@batblood1 yeah im watching too i totally forgot about the war on drugs

[ffodsi]

Roger McGuinn..Tom Petty

[jojodancerx]

I hear the Cure in there.

[jtprice24]

New Age Dire Straits?

[pguitarb]

@jtprice24 yes! although the guitar solos don't compare much

[Marine4Life205]

Sounds a hell of a lot like...Bruce Springsteen??

[MadsAndersen1]

I still haven't gotten "Slave Ambient". That is about to change. 

[lameplanet]

just keep waiting for the chorus to arrive... and it never does.

[shimmy307]

@lameplanet The whole song is a chorus.

[CHIBBINGS]

Sounds like a Canadian Bruce Springsteen covers band, which sounds as if I don't like it, but I do!

[dermotoblong]

very arcade fire and really good

[Rolixer]

Jo Division + Bruce Springsteen

[joeylusion]

not bad, but this has been made like many times before, back at the end of the 70's and the 80's... should be time for a change i think

[donkeybrainsify]

I must have heard this song over 200 times in the past months. Every morning when I step out the door to start a new day, I turn up Baby Missiles. It is such a great song. So full of energy. The song of the year for me. Without a doubt.

[ksull01]

So Good!!! Glad I got to enjoy this track before the masses got there hands on it.

[uuutwohere]

@ksull01 Do you realize how ridiculous and immature that statement you made sounds, so what happens if the MASSES get there hands on it. What are they going to do with it? start changing the lyrics or maybe they'll throw in a bit of the banjo or ukulele and fook up the rhythm of the song on ya. Grow up and just listen to the song for what it is and don't be worrying about how many other people like it. I hope your not 12 cause then ill feel bad for giving out to you - ah either way - GROW UP.

[TheKaikvis]

6 people don't know the feeling of wind in their hair, cigarette in hand, music up to 11 and pushing the accelerator into the floor mat, that, or they just take the train everywhere....

[withersn]

@TheKaikvis probably just don't like the song

[ColorfulHyena]

reminds me of Joy Division.

[PeteKillsBats]

This song is so fucking legit

[soviepills]

Sounds a lot like Arcade Fire - Keep The Car Running to me

[jackonfire85]

Che sballo 'sto pezzo! E' proprio vero: Springsteen + Dylan!

[a26z1c2b3]

Love the song! Great Video too!!!

[musterdsandwich]

fuck yeah! this is MY christmas music

[donkeybrainsify]

Fuck this song is good. Day after day I've been listerning through this song. Cheering me up every single time. The tempo is perfect, the Dylanesque singing is delightful, heck, it's just an amazing song from an amazing album. Who cares if he sounds like other artists? War on Drugs is on of my favorite discoveries of 2011 :)

[manonbeachfm]

p4k is maistream now, I quit

[KKOPPI]

Tim Rice-Oxley sent me

[srmucho]

if Mark Knopfler made a baby with Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen with Win Butler, and than if those two babys would meet and made a baby you'll get the war on drugs.

[ericalynnlong1]

@srmucho PERFECT description!!:)

[moonybeams]

Just got my tickets to see them in England next year, can't wait !

[acdc5462]

speaking of a war on drugs...Ron Paul 2012!

[MeehKrob]

bob dylan & the e-street band

[eliassailor]

@MeehKrob Nice! You nailed it right on the head.

[97blowfish]

It's like Boys of Summer with a better music video. I'd still rather listen to Boys of Summer...

[McNarsty]

Recommended listening while driving through Philly or Trenton with the windows down.

In fact, I think I'm gonna do just that.

[trinakriae]

It is a bad copy of Walk of Life by Dire Straits...

[arkim44]

@trinakriae

Ha! I was enjoying this song until I read your comment, it is hard to deny the similarities.

[KKOPPI]

@trinakriae lol no

[rrlloo1]

This song totally make my arms go YAAY

[Katzchen87]

Overrated.

[ListenToTheDanielle]

Song Of The Day.

[criznittles]

[jighonky]

[ioflune]

I was listening to this song really loud and cleaning my apt. when my mom called. She laughed at me and asked if I was rocking out to Bruce Springsteen...Spot on mom!

[JohnGoodman909]

this is cool i like it

[benelux2500]

Outstandiing!!



[MrFiekert123]

i <3 this stuff. don't care of it as eighties, i don't give a damn about that. it's just good music.

[LinkCloudFR]

Deserve a million views!!!

[iamaweasel]

Music/video combo's like this demand a special 'extra-big-thumbs-up' facility on YouTube.

[ribogok]

So derivative. Fuck hype.

[paulachinaski]

It makes me want to be more inside my quantum's mood!!

[sfrebirthblog]

why did it take rock n' roll 6 decades to come up with the line "i'm on the back of a new belief?" what a fucking great lyric.

[audiodead]

This is some good shit.

[Benzinwut]

sounds like their boss

[TerzaCagna]

molto bello!

[FloydIV]

Boring.

[allieversayiswat]

WAT!

[FareForElg91]

<3

[MrEagleEartwig]

Holy shit

[TheBurningBuddhist]

Arcade Fire?

[croucherb]

@TheBurningBuddhist it would sound more like arcade fire if arcade fire sounded half as good as this.

[MrEagleEartwig]

@TheBurningBuddhist If you wanna compare it with other stuff, a heavy Springsteen vibe is way more obvious imo.

[moseswhitakers]

This song made my penis dance which consequently bruised my testicles badly.

[Jokrmein]

@moseswhitakers too much gay sex.

[darmodykieren]

Awsomeness..Great Vid!

[CinqueMalcolm]

I just heard this for the first time and then played it like 20 times in a row. This song is insane. The video is damn near exactly what I expected too. This is the !@#4.

[Seanemerica72]

Pitchfork flood incoming!

[jayeyekay]

If Bruce Springsteen and Arcade Fire had a baby, this is what it'd sound like.

[TheArmface]

I thought Arcade Fire already did this !!!

[top20modernrock]

I was expecting 500,000 views. 

[headlocal]

@top20modernrock 

maybe you're more with it than you think...tell your friends and share on FB etc ...the song DOES deserve the attention!

[AMK0000]

great song



[allieversayiswat]

WAT!

[666qwerty1]

Everyone get out of the way! I MUST DANCE.

[philmonroe]

@666qwerty1

That's true. I felt like I was in an 80s high school comedy ^^

[MrKaneShadow]

Reminds me of Dire Straits- Walk of Life

[headlocal]

@MrKaneShadow right, but a bit more snap to the beat!

[mccu7pj2]

@MrKaneShadow spot on :)

[keaneing]

Tim Rice-Oxley brought me here =$

[stevy20]

The music is great but wtf on that vocal, that part is just terribly recorded and produced. I have no clue what you're singing.

[XtremeSkeletor]

Secretly Canadian, eh?

[airwalks68]

[thegonz1]

so 80's brah!

[aniimamiina]

[SoundIndieMusic]

[tanvargas]

[SnypaStudios]

I knew this song merited a video for it! Love the shots of Rome!

[Xcokedav096]

Fuck yes! So Vile-like! Even after Kurt left 

[NarrowJoy]

@Xcokedav096 How do you know that Kurt isn't just Granduciel-esque?

[Xcokedav096]

@NarrowJoy He is. And Granduciel is also one of the violators.

[IzMeBee]
