Gaslight Anthem, The - National Anthem Lyrics

Who else is enjoying this in 2019?

Stunning song. Good memories!

Great opener Bath and Cardiff ❤

This was a perfect ending to a perfect album.

Actually not

Handwritten was flawless

Oh wow I never realized there was a Deluxe Edition!

Wow. That is all.

Anyone else get the chills?

Every time

Sounds nothing like I'm on fire, it sounds like the gaslight anthem at their very best, as always.

this band has never done a bad song they are without a doubt my fave band ever

I already live with too many ghosts x

Who will forgive us when he's gone,

To that blonde haired, blued eyed Chester County Nomad. Baby, I wish you could see me now, love. Xoxox

Are there any songs better than this ? :-)

lyineyes56 there are so many good songs can't choose one that better lol there all good

Does he says throne or thrown?? 1:08

throne Son!!

throne, thats the correct spelling for when you are talking about the chair of king and not the past tense of throwing

Beautiful song

Should've used a better font colour

Sa voix est émouvante.

Just discovered Gaslight Anthem and now im hooked...

Every song they do is so impossibly perfect! <3 <3 <3 <3

Don't trust a perfect person and don't trust a song that's flawless.

twenty one pilots-lane boy, right ?

find ich gut

i found the perfect girl. she might have lived far away but she was great what happen i let my jealously get the best of me and fucked it up

There there bro. Did the same thing last week. Brohug.

Did the same thing 11 years ago and 3 months ago we reconnected at Suwannee Hulaween and now we are soul mates. And others don’t.

Springsteen Dylan The Gaslight Anthem enough said

Wooooow. Calm down that boner of yours Ryan.

"What's left for God to teach from his throne? And who will forgive us when he's gone?" I don't believe an artist has ever described emptiness so eloquently before.

Two words: Toaster Hammock

Go on then explain, Doing my head in 😃

damn..... just how to music is all about... love it

great song, very springsteen, im on fire-esque

sounds like it can have political connotations also...Never will forget you like maybe the America that's betrayed us with it's greed...do what you like take what you want dont worry bout me I'm alright...everybody lateley livin up in space flying thru transmissions on invisible airwaves...that clearly alludes to the distracted viral generation...that's what I get from it

bob dylan or not, this is one of the greatest rock ballads i have heard in a long time

I love this album!

Good song yes.

I already live with too many ghosts. dope

Definitely the first there.

Or just too much sadness in general.

What's left to god too teach from his throne and who will forgive us when he's gone.

Hammer Song

THEY'RE SO GOOD

I suspect that "too many ghosts" is more broad. I don't think it's about a girl who died. "Too many ghosts" probably just means that he's kept his heart open for too many past loves who he'll probably never see again. That said, he claims his heart is now closed to whoever this song is about in the line just before.

Check out my cover of this song on my channel!

My interpretation of this is one of two things:
1. Its about a girl he loved, who broke his heart and he has to put it all behind him no matter how much it is killing him inside.
2, or, its about a girl he loved who died. I think this because of the line "I already live with too many ghosts" and how he refers to the girl in past tense. I know that could mean of when they were together, but I have a suspicion that is it.

blew my mind this band, this album is amazing!

I must really thank NHL 13 for including "45" on its soundtrack, I had unfortunately never heard of these guys before, but after buying Handwritten I gotta say they're one of my newest favourite bands

Second note: reminds me of "The Temptation of Adam" by Josh Ritter.

I think this is my new favorite Gaslight Anthem song.

Is this an original song by gaslight?

Yes it is

this song cant be more true in my life right now... girl friend drama, school bullshit, work bullshit, etc.... ill get through it with the lyrics of this song running through my head

Brian Fallon and Rivers Cuomo are some of the greatest song writers I know.

I don't hear Dylans Don't Think Twice. If anything I hear Springsteens I'm on Fire.

Holy. Sh-t.

i guess 4 people pressed the wrong thumb button, as i literally cannot comprehend how someone can dislike this.

It might not get the recognition it deserves through the media, but as a Gaslight fan I am proud that I know how great their music is and feel lucky that I can listen to them. I feel sorry for all the people out there who haven't heard them.

Such an awesome song. Unfortunately, with all the garbage that now dominates popular music, a classic song like this will not get the recognition it deserves.

Reminds me of a cross between Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkle, and Bruce Springsteen.

i just could listen to this voice all day long........all day long! puts me in a very enjoyable trance!

excellent song...simple and beautiful

who cares what this song sounds similar to. im sure it was heavily influenced by some older artists but just enjoy it and stop complaining

beautiful, just beautiful...

great song..

I love this song so much

Love this song. Check out my cover on my channel :)

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN MUCH.

I never will forget you my american love <3

Listen to this on strooms with your friends..life changing

I want to cry every time I hear this song. Greatest modern rock band out there!

This sounds just like Bruce, yeah Bruce Lee! It's like a karate chop straight to the heart! :)

Brian Fallon

LOL everywhere I read everyone is comparing it to this song. I see the Bruce comparison, but many people are just stretching everything.

this is Nebraska.

take a listen to Bruce Springsteen "im on fire" you will change your mind

two words: Bob Dylan

Ummm, no. The only similarities it has to "heres looking at you" and "I'm on fire" is they are all acoustic. Thats about it.

who will forgive me since he's gone?

I have a feeling this is going to be a kickass acoustic version during some future Revival Tours, Imagine this with the fiddle and stand up base.

Alfred

this song is incredible

Ok, I know that Brian loves Bruce, and that's where all these comparisons are coming from, but honestly, this sounds way more like Bob Dylan, and I mean that in a very good way.

This song could be about Bruce Wayne/Albert in The Dark Knight Rises, or at least the first verse could be. It's my fave on the album and reminds me so much of Here's Lookin' At You Kid and I'm on Fire.

damn. best song on the album hands down, and one of the best ive heard this year

bloody lovely tune, sexy as ya like

Reincarnation of Bruce Springsteens I'm on Fire..

The BEST Song ON THE ALBUM No DOUBT!!! Just Shows THERE STILL IS "TRUE MUSIC" STILL OUT THERE", This Should Be OUR NEW GENERATION'S "ANTHEM"! Beautiful Song!
