Gaslight Anthem, The - Stay Vicious Lyrics

I dont know how to get in touch with these guys,I want you to come to my wedding ! As guests,,I love you guys so much! Message me back if you see this somehow. I'm in Texas. May 18th 2pm.

My all time favorite gaslight song.. been a die hard fan for years but this song.. man o man this to me is the best song to lead off such an amazing album... so under appreciated in the gaslight anthem song list...

Talk about light and shade this guy is the master bar non 😎

They opened the DC show with his a couple of months ago. Soooo good!! Perfect choice!

Best TGA song ever! Never get tired it. <3 My baby Elvis kicks a lot when I play it to him in my tummy.

Love Brian's voice especially on this song and fantastic combination of voice/guitar/drums.

i wish he would do this acapella for a good music sample....

as u step into the city is my favorite

Great fucking song.

Just discovered this band, they sound like a band kept secret from the 80's.

So much National in the quiet bit

Black sabbath and the Cure just had a baby. 

But 59 sound was even better  :-)

Seeing these guys in about 6 hours, can't fucking wait :D

This would be a great start to a  concert  :-)

Does anyone else feel it's a bit of a 'Here Comes My Man' knock-off?

Stone Temple Pilots for the verse, The National for the chorus.

I miss old Gaslight :(

@Mora Roden 
Then just check out my playlist: THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM

That riff is questionable, but Fallon saves it with a perfect chorus

the opening reminds of Stranglehold

Ok song not best but not the worst

Who the hell do they think are, Electric Wizard?

Sunn O)))

I know nobody will agree but after hearing the delux version this is my favorite album from TGA. My opinion which is just my own personal taste would be: get hurt, the 59 sound, handwritten, american slang, sink or swim.

Yeah I was debating between 59 sound and handwritten. Both great.

@JDub McDook I got into Gaslight Anthem when "Old White Lincoln" started to play on the radio. So after Sink or Swim was released. I enjoyed American Slang and then '59 Sound after I bought it because they were a bit softer.
I am not a fan of the grungy heavier sound that Sink or Swim had on it. I'm not saying it was bad, but I prefer the softer sounds on their newer albums. Again, my opinion is mine.

Ha I knew I would get some bad reactions. I love sink or swim but just think they have evolved so much since than. Again just my personal taste. Totally understand why people like sink or swim the best.

@JQJ213 I personally got into them by coming across Sink or Swim stuff on YT (Drive and I'da Called You Woodie, Joe), so I dunno. I like the variation, I just keep the different albums for different moods I guess. But I guess the first sound you hear of a band always kinda influences which songs you'll like best.

@***** Don't make me get Putin to imprison you, commie.

Oh my god... IM SO GLAD I LIVE IN THE UK! Why? Coz we get the album ONE DAY EARLIER THAN THE US!

I really liked it alot! They are all doing us a Big Favor in putting out their new stuff out there for us to enjoy not to criticize it weather or not it sounds like so and so. Give it a few days you'll find yourself wanting to listen to it more and more. :)

The contrast from loud and gritty to quiet and melodic is quite a pixies/nirvana-esque trait.

this is fantastic

This song will KILL IT on the radio.

Easily my favourite song from this album so far. The verse reminds me of Too Much Blood a little.

This is the best Gaslight song I've heard in years, and I loved 'Handwritten'.

That slide guitar at the end leaves me with the feeling of "I want more".

Probably 1000 of these 42,965 plays are from me

hopefully get rid of the dumb screaming fan girls who were on the last uk tour 

Know what you mean man, I saw them in Manchester when they played a tonne off Sink Or Swim, half the crowd had no idea they had anything but Handwritten.

@Liam Croft Yeah thats a shame. Ive been listening to em since ages. Who saw em in 2008 at London Astoria?

@Grimeyhoob Can't say I did, unfortunately! I only got to see them live on their first tour after Handwritten.

This is a never before heard sound of TGA. Call me a fan boy or drama queen or whatever, from what I've heard from "Get Hurt", this will be a generation defining album. Mark these words.

So pumped to hear more loving the change up in their sound!

Like Black Keys and The National on one song. Great progression from the Jersey boys.

This is awesome. It'll be amazing live!

Chorus reminds me of The National... This is a good thing.

Any specific song? I'd like to hear it.

@YouthEnergy
Check The National - Runaway....Demons....don't swallow the cap...

I thought the same thing.

YES Brian!!!!!!!

I think this is my favourite from the 3 songs they have put out ahead of the album launch. All three tracks have really lifted my expectations to new heights. 

Has it become some kind of tradition for Gaslight to include one song on each album of some song's protagonist singing a generic tune and making a snarky remark? ("She's singing, 'Oh, sha-la-la, oh, sha-la-la. Listen, honey, here comes my man" on "Here Comes My Man" from Handwritten and now the "La la la, look at you saving my life tonight" on "Stay Vicious" from Get Hurt.)

Awesome.

I really can't enjoy this song, half of it sounds like cheap Black Keys, and half like cheap The National, damn, I love TGA but this song is awful

Wydaje mi się, że pod względem melodii ten utwór jest po prostu za dużym odejściem od klasycznych TGA i to może odstraszyć ludzi jak Ty. Nie ma w tym nic złego, są gusta i guściki, ja od razu lece sprawdzić czy eu-preorder już jest.

I love their music and I'll definitely give this album a chance, but this sounds like Alice in chains. The other 2 songs were different but it still sounded like gaslight anthem

Sounds like something that would be on Sink or Swim. Awesome.

So far i'm loving all the three songs, and the three different sounds. Looking forward for this album more than any other one this year. 

woah I was not expecting the chorus from the preview

Can't wait to Get Hurt when I see them in November :D

This is what these guys needed to do. It sounds so natural.

My response to that riff - /watch?v=VLnWf1sQkjY

I remember when they put the clip of this up and almost everyone hated it. And now everyone loves it. So to anyone who judged the album based on the riff and first verse, ha, look how awesome it is now.

Good song but i think it's Too grunge. I like them better when they are more melodic

Brian said he had wanted a heavy riff and than flip it to the prettiest song they have ever written. Well done!!!

Pretty much sums up my thoughts on this song. Really enjoying the blending they got going on.

@Lucke Gabriel The opening riff is very Sabbathy, something Toni Iommi would write, then it goes into this Cure kind of chorus. 

The chorus reminds me of Iggy Pop's 'The Passenger'.

Brian warned us this album would be different. I'm still in love with American slang but I'm not disappointed.

Not so sure about this song tbh. I don't hate it, but I don't know if it has any replay value either.

@***** If you hate Rollin' & Tumblin' you must have not known them for very or liked their older stuff much. That song sounds the most like their older songs.

@zingazinga This sounds not even remotely like The National, as if that could even be a criticism.

@13mbrm There is that deep-voiced soft speaking element in the verses with ethereal instrumental accompaniment thats been popularized by the national.   Also heard on "halloween".  Brian has mentioned many times dating back to 2008 that the National is a band he really enjoys.   I think that's probably what people are referring to.

Ironically I read this comment as I was listening to the song for the 5th time in a row or something.

I dunno, I have to admit the first play I wasn't amazed with the record even though I liked all three singles a lot, but after a few more plays it's like there's layers peeling away and I'm really starting to feel it. Especially Stay Vicious, 1000 Years, Dark Places...

@Myo-kun I know what you mean 

I just got to stop listening to it, I don't want to get sick of it before the record comes out

Cool, that teaser really teased me.
I love that new sound!

Weakest track they've released of this album. Not a fan but can't wait for the album to drop nonetheless

can't wait to hear the album!! going to be a great mix :-)

Love it!!  

Anybody else getting a R.E.M. "I Took Your Name" vibe from this?

Fucking awesome.

Getting vibes of The National in the chorus. Love it.

Gaslight with vibes of The National? Sounds about perfect...

watch?v=1a1UoljLWrY This is the one you're thinking of... Such a brilliant song

This is the greatest Monday morning, ever. 

It sounds like a mix between the old Gaslight Anthem and Blood Red Shoes. Nice.

That's more fucking like it WOOOHOOO

Can't wait to hear this live in November

Gonna see them in the Aragon Ballroom in October. So psyched.

@morrisaurus17 hey me too! super pumped! 

@morrisaurus17 I just found these guys yesterday.  I'm excited to see that they're coming to Chicago, wonder if I can still get tickets?
 

@Kas1991ish Well you definitely just discovered something great, and if I were you I'd check the band's website or ticketmaster!

Same here, 3 november in Brussels, my first TGA live show :p

Christ thats heavy than i was expecting from gaslight

Sounds so dirty. Love it!

Yes. Yes. Yes.

This is going to sound so great live!

😱OOH LA LA

👌👏

now that's some pretty heavy riffage there. love it!

Badass I'm so excited get hurt is going to be incredible
