Imagine Dragons

Released: January 21, 2010

[Verse 1]
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
And I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

[Chorus]
With or without you
With or without you

[Verse 2]
Through the storm, we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

[Chorus]
With or without you
With or without you, oh-no
I can't live with or without you

[Refrain]
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away

[Verse 3]
My hands are tied
My body's bruised she's got me with
There's nothing to win
And there's nothing left to lose

[Refrain]
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away

[Chorus]
With or without you
With or without you, oh-no
I can't live with or without you
Alright we gotta be heard, help me out

[Bridge]
Ohh-oh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh-oh
Ohh-oh-oh-oh, oh-whoa
Oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo

[Outro]
With or without you
With or without you, oh-no
I can't live with or without you
One more time, here we go
Ohh-oh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh-oh
Ohh-oh-oh-oh, oh-whoa
With or without you

One of the defining artists of the 2010s and perhaps the biggest band of the decade, Imagine Dragons is an American alt-rock band that originated in Las Vegas and led by Dan Reynolds. While the band began in 2008, the group boasted an entirely different roster than most are familiar. Before releasing their debut album, Night Visions, in 2012, the band released six EPs over four years, constantly shifting their sound and roster from folk to the crowd-shattering anthems they’ve been known for since.

The band’s roster was finalized before Night Visions‘ release with Daniel Platzman on the drums, Wayne Sermon on guitar, and Ben McKee on bass. Their break-out single, “Radioactive” was essential to putting Vegas on the map musically, citing The Killers before them. The song went on to become an international success, obliterating the record for the most weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 at 87 straight weeks.

It wasn’t until 2015 the band released their sophomore album, Smoke + Mirrors. The album was extremely divergent from their freshman album, characterized by an accentuation of their Rock roots and an internal struggle, later described by Reynolds as being his bout with severe depression.
