Gaslight Anthem, The - Handwritten Lyrics

One of my all time favorite songs.

Here, in the dark, I cherish the moonlight
I'm in love with the way you're in love with the night
And it travels from heart, to limb, to pen

2020? Someone?

Man, one of the only music videos that'll bring on the waterworks. Too damn good of a song and video.

What a awesome song ❤️

I love this song, I love this video, I love the album 'Handwritten' and I don't understand why it is not available to listen on spotify or deezer here in Brazil.

We want a New album!!!

Hallo GA ! We`re ready for new songs. Ever.

Holt shit.....I consider myself a guy who knows a lot of music. What have I been missing??????

Does anybody know the name of the girl?

God I love this song! Replay replay replay lol

Ill take you home pillsburry D john

music begins at 0:40

As close to perfection as a song can get.

This band! My good friend rest his soul introduced me to them in the worst way possible. 4 years ago he sent me a message out of the blue saying he had two tickets to see TGA in London but the person he was going with had dropped out and wanted to know if I wanted to go... At the time I'd never heard of them and couldn't really be bothered to travel all that way for a gig, so I declined. 6 months later sadly he committed suicide.

I felt so guilty like it was my fault for not going with him as to why he did what he did. 4 years later however I am now a massive fan of TGA and everytime I listen to them J get a feeling that he's listening with me.

Rest easy Billy, I'll see you again one day brother!

Why isn't this song available on spotify?

@OPzy It's region restricted. Here in Brazil I can't listen to the whole album unfortunately.

@Axel Nehls damn, that sucks :/ if u download it u could put it on spotify using local files, thats what i did with other songs

@OPzy that's what I did. A guy on Reddit gave me a code to download the official files, and then I put them on Spotify.

Every line of this song speaks to me. Differently then most people I'm sure. Probably beyond you're intent, but truly a masterpiece.
Thank you, Brian. I've been following your work for almost two years, not long, but nearly everything you make is perfect.

This band is ridiculous

The guy looks like Robie Williams

Still listening to this still love it as much as the first time I heard it

59 sound had a Tour, Handwritten next ? 😎

I am addicted to this Song!

I'm sorry, Savannah

"There's nothing like a soul that's been cut up the same"

That line hits me so hard.

As I am not a native English speaker I could use some help to understand the following line (searched the lyrics online and I dunno if that is even correct):
And with this pen I thee wed from my heart to your distress.

I've been thinking about it a lot but with no acceptable result.
Any ideas on this?

(With this ring) I thee wed means: (as of this moment) I am wedded to you, we are bonded for life.

@AildAlli thank you:)

Just discovered this band by chance. Glad I did...Sounds so much like the Goo Goo Dolls. Great sound.

It took me so many years to finally appreciate the depth to this amazing song.

I can't believe I've never heard of this band before (popped up on Youtube randomly). I don't know what genre to even call it - it's like part Springsteen, part 90s alternative, part punk. But really great song.

Bruce Springsteen has been reloaded.

This song is exceptional, this f’cking band is awesome!!!

The Gaslight Anthem are all clones.

Great :)))))

Doesn't get much better x

For about a YEAR I would hear this song while at the gym and never seemed to have my phone on me to google it. Today, the SAME damn thing happened so, I kept repeating one line to myself "Every word hand-written" ... the min I got to the locker room I plugged those lyrics and google - had no connection lol ... once in the car ... BINGO! I'm surprised that this song is SEVEN years old! :) My year quest - solved today on March 15, 2019!

Better late than never.

Bet you’re glad you do get around to it lol what a voice flawless

you have changed my life


you are the best band ever

This is a small detail but I love that part where the gears are grinding and show the record being made during a guitar riff. The timing is pretty much perfect. In fact the entire video is perfect.

💙👌

Can't find this song on spotify =(

This music video is actually the best thing to come of the Internet it’s a god damn movie when you realize it’s the guy from the start ❤️❤️❤️😭

always makes me shiver. stunning song from a stunning band.

And we waited for the sirens that never come
And we only write by the moon
Every word handwritten
And to ease the loss of youth
And how many years I've missed you
Pages plead forgiveness
Every word handwritten

Most underrated song ever,..

beautiful.

I think the song is about the undiscovered life that a piece of music can have.

All over the world people listen to these songs, yet everyone has its own connection to it (the moment and place you heard it first, the person who made you discover it, the fun/troubles a song can get you through, the strenght/comfort you search in a song,...).

It's about the power of music to bring people together yet all those people give a single piece of music a thousand different meanings.

Is the album in the video a actually album? If so? Who?

Ohhhhhh this defeat!

Did you want to drive?

How many years I’ve missed you 😁👌

6 years later and this video still gets me. Love the song, love the band, and I'm glad Brian is still pumping out tunes.

I Love my Mix 👠🔥👠🔥👠

Geez, man! Every time I watch this music video, I'm in tears... no matter how I try, the build-up just gets me.

What’s your favorite song ? Well
Fuck

If I were music I would be that song.

Happy place

Тупо цари!

yep great

Kinda took me back to 90's...awesome time for music lover..

Still one of the best songs and video EVER

Gaslight anthem tends to get lumped in with pop-punk and emo-bands. They shouldn't be. As someone who has little but disdain for the afore mentioned genres, Brian Fallon is a really freaking good song writer. Maybe not quite on par with Jason Isbell or Ryan Adams, but probably the level right below those two, and considering I consider those two to be the two best songwriters of this generation, that's a pretty high bar to set. Gaslight Anthem is a damn good band.

Ахуенно!

this song had a real impact on me

No wonder Springsteen loves them.

Saw them for the ‘59 Sound 10th anniversary tour last night and they started with this song. No talking before, they came right out on stage and started this song. The crowd went crazy and it was awesome

Great saying great music just heard this song up probably for the first time on the Minneapolis radio 93.3 FM I really woke me up got my attention very passionate

Does anyone know if that's a FTHC pin on Brian's jacket when he's sitting on the chair?

omg im the little kid in the video lmao

Jake Fleming I came here from your video. Love you xx

abittoocoolperhaps I think they have have a dinstinctively samey sound

3:24 - do we have another Boss in the making?

I get weepy every time I watch this.

That kid wore the same thing for 30 years.

I'm going to write a diary from this day on.

Simply incredible songwriting... This song is new to me, and I love it.

511 people looks like listen to Justin Bieber.

OMG! I just heard that beautiful song! I missed it all the years! :-(

Minor plot hole: Why didn't the guy take the record to the military with him?

This fucks me up so bad..I'm sorry Lizzie

Everybody has that one song that opened the door to a whole new world of music

late for what i cant always find good tunes your just taking a long time to arrive

Sounds a lot like Matt Mays

Name of the girlfriend please for research purposes..

The guitar player with the lighter has a tattoo on the inside of his left forearm when he's young, but not when he's old.

Still a very cool video. Just noticed that.

It's a beautiful song and clip. Hilarious that the boy who is given the record is still wearing the same clothes 10+ years later..

many many years I've missed you

Why this is not available on Spotify??

Until now I thought its originally from The Braincoats,.. anyway thank them for introducing it to me :)

His smile when he sings "I'm in love with the way you're in love with the night" melts me.

That NJ neighborhood brings me back. Nothing like an east coast summer!

these guys actually came to my house back in the day. they were going door to door selling their album

Absolutely Love The Gaslight Anthem.

amazing

Not their best album, but still in their own league

Who is the vinyl that appears in the video?

I've watched this video a ton and this is the first time I have noticed the Frank Turner button on Brian's jacket

2012? Damn time passes by fast! What a song.

Perfect song, perfect band. ♥

im not crying youre crying
