    Man, i listened this song like 10 years ago , i was in absolute love with it and then i forget about it , until few months ago i was thinking about those dancers and the melody but impossible to remember the name of the song neither the band.
    just found a paper with the lyrics on it written by hand by myself a decade ago.
    glad i'm back here , this song was important to me i couldn't forget it!

      May I please ask which lyrics you had written down? This song means a lot to me too, saw Future Islands live yesterday, but all I wanted to hear was this song. Luckily they played it - Pretty much left right after.

    Cool to read the reviews here... never thought it would hit the +2.500.000 views ! I am c pazke... the one who uploaded it here, but I lost my previous account. Best track of the best 2010 album then, saw them 5 months later live after this upload... 3 guys on stage and 50 in the hall then.... good times ! Good tunes never die...

    I got back from a long flight,
    You said you'd meet me there,
    I've been tripping off constellations and stars.
    I found you at home, what was our home,
    With another man, oh man.
    Been keeping you in my heart.
    And so I whispered into your ear,
    "What are you thinking about?"
    You just looked up at the stars
    And so I whispered into your ear,
    "Who are you thinking about?"
    It couldn't be me
    You can't look me in my eyes anymore,
    Without the rivers to tend.
    Because you remember our love was true,
    But you just needed a hand,
    And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
    Without yourself to defend.
    You know you hurt me so bad,
    Just 'cause you needed a hand.
    And I went off and saw things I've never seen,
    I really wanted you there.
    But you ruined what was love
    Just 'cause you needed a hand
    This is the way that it all falls.
    This is how I feel,
    This is what I need:
    You, by me--right here--by me,
    Right now.
    And so I whispered into your ear,
    "What are you thinking about?"
    You just looked up at the stars
    And so I whispered into your ear,
    "Who are you thinking about?"
    It couldn't be me
    You can't look me in my eyes anymore,
    Without the rivers to tend,
    'Cause you remember our love was true,
    But you just needed a hand.
    And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
    Without yourself to defend.
    You know you hurt me so bad,
    Just 'cause you needed a hand.
    And I went off and saw things I've never seen,
    I really wanted you there.
    But you ruined what was love,
    Just 'cause you needed a hand
    Just 'cause you needed a hand.

    I still listen to this song all the time and find myself oddly transfixed by the video this person chose to pair with it. It makes no sense. It's unnatural. It has absolutely nothing to do with the context of the song. If you read the lyrics, they're super fucking sad. And yet somehow.... watching Japanese rockabilly dancers to this song ... works.

    Future Islands has some of the best fan made videos I've ever seen: this, Old Friend, Vireo's Eye, Heart Grows Old with clips of nature, Lighthouse with clips of Star Trek. And they all fit, but maybe it's just because the music is so good. I watched seagulls dropping snails onto rocks to break them open while listening to Ancient Water from their latest album, and it was strangely awesome. Almost thought about filming it.

    I've watched this video many times. It's not about joke, it's about heart oppenes. This absurdity allows to emphasize the detachment from reality, the ease of life sensation. You really feel flight when you are listening this music, and loose the weight of your routine when you are watching these happy and lucky guys.

    Everytime I listen to this song I get fucking mesmerized about how much repressed anger is contained in this. I cried when I first noticed it, and everytime i hear this I feel like crying again. The way he sings this hurtful poetry with his voice low, through the whole song. The way he sings, between his teeth, "you hurt ... me so bad...", in the third time this line appears. And finally, the way he screams in the last strophe about how he went off and saw things he'd never seen, "I really wanted you there". Then finally, he repeats, screaming and almost crying, ultimately releasing all the anger that he's repressed through the whole song, in a way that even his words are distorted: "YOU RUINED, WAH WEH LEH JUST CAUSE YOU NEEDED A HAND". The end. Beautiful and sorrowful.

    I have always loved this song since I heard it many years ago. However, I really never connected to it until my ex spent the weekend with her lover and when she came home she couldn't look me in the eyes.

    OK, so I am binge listening to Future Islands and found this video. Never heard this song until today and I was not hip to the Bōsōzoku subculture. As a result I am calling this a 2-fer, because 1.) I dig artists and musicians that make you want to find out more while 2.) comfortably expanding the bubble you exist in. Much respect to Future Islands!

    Lyrics
    I got back from a long flight,
    You said you'd meet me there,
    I've been tripping off constellations and stars.
    I found you at home, what was our home,
    With another man, oh man.
    Been keeping you in my heart.
    And so I whispered into your ear,
    "What are you thinking about?"
    You just looked up at the stars
    And so I whispered into your ear,
    "Who are you thinking about?"
    It couldn't be me
    You can't look me in my eyes anymore,
    Without the rivers to tend.
    Because you remember our love was true,
    But you just needed a hand,
    And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
    Without yourself to defend.
    You know you hurt me so bad,
    Just 'cause you needed a hand.
    And I went off and saw things I've never seen,
    I really wanted you there.
    But you ruined what was love
    Just 'cause you needed a hand
    This is the way that it all falls.
    This is how I feel,
    This is what I need:
    You, by me--right here--by me,
    Right now.
    And so I whispered into your ear,
    "What are you thinking about?"
    You just looked up at the stars
    And so I whispered into your ear,
    "Who are you thinking about?"
    It couldn't be me
    You can't look me in my eyes anymore,
    Without the rivers to tend,
    'Cause you remember our love was true,
    But you just needed a hand.
    And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
    Without yourself to defend.
    You know you hurt me so bad,
    Just 'cause you needed a hand.
    And I went off and saw things I've never seen,
    I really wanted you there.
    But you ruined what was love,
    Just 'cause you needed a hand
    Just 'cause you needed a hand
