Greta Van Fleet Announce 4th Album ‘Palace for the People,’ Debut New Song ‘Saw You Stand’

Greta Van Fleet have just announced their fourth album, Palace for the People, alongside the release of the new song "Saw You Stand."

It was almost three months ago that fans feared the worst when the band posted a cryptic video on social media, leading many to speculate that Greta Van Fleet had abruptly broken up. Less than a week later, those concerns were abated when the Michigan rockers shared a teaser for a new song, which wound up being the first single, "Play Your Games."

Now, they're looking ahead to the Oct. 9 release of Palace for the People. While the track listing has yet to be revealed, the artwork can be seen below.

Greta Van Fleet - Palace for the People

"As much as it is a Greta Van Fleet record and a rock and roll record at its core, in its heart, it's a very modern record," says guitarist Jake Kiszka.

Singer Josh Kiszka adds, "We love each other just as much as ever, if not more, because we've got to spend quality time together off of the road. We’ve grown closer, and we have more to say and share than ever.” Drummer Danny Wagner adds, “The minute the four of us step into a room with the shared goal of creating, there is very little that can stop us.”

Greta Van Fleet, "Saw You Stand" + Lyrics

Anyone who ever loved, could look at me
And know that I loved you, woah
What a heart and what a beat
Remembering how much I loved you, woah
Woah, ooh-ooh

I hope that you'll always know
Life with you made me whole

I saw you stand
I saw you standing
When you took my hand
I saw you standing

In the end I hope you know that I chose you
Because I loved you, woah
And after all is said and done, the war is won
Because I loved you, woah

I hope that you'll always know
Life with you made me whole

I saw you stand
I saw you standing
When you took my hand
I saw you standing

I hope that you'll always know
Your light made the darkness glow
I pray you'll forever know
Loving you made me whole

I hope that you'll always know
Life with you made me whole
