    I’m a 43 year old cancer survivor who found the love of my life 8 years ago. I’ve lost 6 babies early on and now we are healthfully pregnant with a baby boy due in August .. this song as always hit close to home but todays Mother’s Day and he’s kickin and all I can’t think is “I’ve been waiting on you “ .. the biggest tears of joy while I hear my favorite song ❤

      ACobra289 agreed. For sure. These guys provided the soundtrack for my crumbling marriage. That was 2015. Still this song in particular hits me right in the gut. Not sure I’ve ever shared like this on social media. But hearing this song, and knowing maybe I should not play it. Because of what it will do to my being in the moment. Cathartic? Perhaps. I hope it brings as much to another. The pain comes with the love. The love lives in the dreams.

      Romain VanMoerbeke yes! I I’d agree with you 100%. FI is a huge band. David Letterman knew as much. Years ago. My comment was more or less celebrating the OG comment. However, perhaps more airplay and press is what how “underrated” meant. The pop side of things if you will. Peace.

    "It has been said that a woman marries a man hoping he will change, while a man marries a woman hoping she will never change. This song is about the end of such a relationship. The Summer of the relationship is the time of warmth, peace and companionship. The Winter is the time of coldness to each other, and the memory of Summer only brings more pain with the realization of what has been lost and can't be recovered. Spring rarely comes twice to a couple.
    The man had tried to change, but in the end it only led to a sense of frustration and failure. It is not his fault. At least not all of it. I have lived this."

    'Cause I've been waiting on you
    I've been waiting on you
    As it breaks
    The summer will wake
    But the winter will wash what is left
    Of the taste
    As it breaks
    The summer will warm
    But the winter will crave what is gone
    Will crave what has all
    Gone away
    People change
    But you know some people never do
    You know when people change
    They gain a piece but they lose one too
    'Cause I've been hanging on you
    I've been waiting on you
    'Cause I've been waiting on you
    I've been hanging on you
    As it breaks
    The summer will wake
    But the winter will wash what is left
    Of the taste
    As it breaks
    The summer will warm
    But the winter will crave what is gone
    Will crave what is gone
    Will crave what has all
    Gone away
    'Cause I've been waiting on you

    It is September 2019. My son is 5 years old now. My wife used to play this song for him before he was born in Mommy's tummy, he used to move and kick a bit, then after he was born he would recognize the song and stop everything just to be hypnotized listening to the song. Then he fell in love with the video. We just played it again and he still loves it!! And so do we!!

    When a relationships ends, but that one is hopeful for its resurrection... you pray and hope for not necessarily a change in other person, but that you yourself change for the better. The lyrics beautifully, desperately, and hauntingly capture that angst of waiting for your loved one to turn back.

    I've been waiting on you
    Because I've been waiting on you
    I've been waiting on you
    As it breaks, the summer awaits
    But the winter washed whats left of the taste
    As it breaks, the summer awaits
    But the winter craved whats lost
    Crave whats all gone away
    People change, even though some people never do
    You know when people change
    They gain a piece but they lose one too

    I've been waiting on you

    I'm a big fan of Future Islands. This is a really nice song, but I'm hoping they are just beginning to ease us into a wild ride for the rest of the album. As the single they are just opening the door a crack for us to peak inside. I can't wait to see them live in March in Madison. I bet you the rest of their new album will have plenty of Oomph for us all to experience. This is only the beginning!

    This beautiful piece evokes one of the most cherished moments in my life. I spent six months training for the Big Sur marathon. I'm not competitive or a runner, really. I was worried about the 2-mile hill at Hurricane Point and trained extensively for it. I kept running, and as I crested this hill, the view of the Pacific opened up, and this song erupted. My heart swelled, my eyes welled with tears, this song beautifully enhanced the view and the pride I felt having conquered hurricane point. I was elated and felt so lucky and grateful for this song. It was a moment of purity, and I relive it every time I hear this song. Thank you, Sam, for your talent, your love, your energy, and everything you pour into your music. I am eternally grateful.
