Exactly how I feel about Life is Strange for Breton, Tales from the Borderlands for Twin Shadow, Mass Effect for Faunts, Mirror's Edge for Solar Fields and Chvrches, SSX for The Joy Formidable... shit, was I introduced to ALL my favorite bands through video games?
I return to this song all the time. Every few years and I need to experience this gentle anxiety that undelies a gauze thin blanket of normalcy again. Discordant but not disorganized. Toeing the line between function and disfunction. This song is an anxiety attack with wisdom.
I lived in Santa Barbara for around 4 years, I used to listen to this beautiful song on the PCH to LA, full blast, windows open, Pacific Ocean to the right. Sunshine and blue skies. Pure bliss. Thank you.
It’s so crazy to think just 6 years ago this song helped me through my depression, I could never fully express how this song made me feel other than whole. Can’t wait to finally see them live one day.💋
Waiting for My words to catch like I'm trying To strike a match that's soaking wet See through skull See through skin Leave all the lights on Can't see out, but they see in Stare down my nose, watching The color drain from my eyes Cold cereal and TV Before I go to sleep Breathing out, hoping to breathe in I know nothing's wrong, but I'm not convinced No, I know, I know, I've already told, myself Maybe I'll believe it from somebody else No, I know, I know, I've already told, myself Maybe I'll believe it from somebody else Breathing out Hoping to breathe in I know nothing's wrong, but I'm not convinced I can let it happen, just let it happen Just don't think so much, don't think so much
AH, YES! I FINALLY FOUND IT! I've been searching "Local Natives - Waves" forever. I guess it's called "Breakers," not "Waves." 😂😂😂 My brain is L E G E N D A R Y .
This video makes perfect sense within the context of the lyrics. The entire song is a metaphor for mental illness. Lyrics like "I know nothing's wrong but I'm not convinced" allude to the feelings of hopelessness that are associated with most mental illnesses. The images in the video of an astronaut lost on the beach, and of the man perpetually rolling backwards and forwards only strengthen the lyrical allegories. It's beautiful. Most Local Natives songs have GREAT concrete themes.
i love the drums. boom boom boom boom badabadabadabada boom boom boom boom badabadabadabada... alright, look... i can feel you judging me. you can just knock that off right now.
When I found local natives, was in 2011. Went through a pretty tough time at 19, had 8k$$ saved up, and left everything. Quit my job and left all my belongings in my locker. Bought a plane ticket 30min before it took off and landed in Spokane Washington. Lived with this girl in her car and another couple slept in their car. Around this time, I found local natives. Partied every day and blew through that 8k$$ in 3 weeks. Gave money away, bought people food, gas, drugs, alcohol etc hahaha. Well, I’m 31 now and even though I make great money, I miss the people and the lost adventures life took me on. It’s been a nostalgic day for me…. Don’t know if I should be happy or sad… mixed emotions 🤣
This band never ceases to amaze. Do yourselves a favor and see them live because it's unreal how talented they are (Fans of the band already know this).
Straight hippie, indie, and gypsy vibes I get from this song. I fucking love it!! I close my eyes and pictured this song while flashes through my life memory 👌🏽😌
Hey, if Local Natives rightfully take over airspace previously occupied by pop stars like Rhianna and Nickelback, you wouldn't see me shed so much as a single tear. Just sit back and ponder over what the world would be like if more talented and innovative bands like these guys took over the airwaves. The planets would align. World peace would ensue. We would see sound. And Top 40 radio would be beautiful.
Fans of this Local Natives know two things: One. This band is absolutely amazing. Two. Any music they put out is equally as amazing. For me to be able to listen to their debut album over and over again since it came out, makes me excited for the new one!
its funny how these "indie bands" have so much high quality in the production. Its fixed. I'm gonna call my next band tralior park mama drama qualities...
It's not hard to achieve good production once you've done it a thousand times. Plus, indie bands have same access to everything mainstream folks do. Cool band name, btw.
If you're into these guys, then you should also check out Oliver Riot. They're an up and coming band from Azusa, CA. They just recorded their first single. It's definitely worth checking out.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...

I remember when I heard a song by the Local Natives for the first time. It was one of those nights were everything feels absolutely perfect. I was riding around the west side of the city at night and this song came on. They have been one of my favorite bands ever since!
forever thanking LIS for putting Mt. Washington on their game... idk why it took me so long to actually find the music on the game... when the game first came out i instantly fell in love with the soundtrack but never took the time to look up al the songs until like 6 months ago
I love finding different, wonderful and easily much more talented groups, bands and artists on youtube instead of listening to mainstream music! this is absolutely wonderful :')
this song wasn't in life is strange but I will forever be grateful for life is strange for introducing me to them
+NinnaLinna the same ^^
me too!

I love the local natives so fucking much

I am glad you're doing better! They're so amazing live, seen them a few times and it was the best. 💜
Ill be seeing them live tomorrow, only took 10 years haha
Waiting for
My words to catch like I'm trying
To strike a match that's soaking wet
See through skull
See through skin
Leave all the lights on
Can't see out, but they see in
Stare down my nose, watching
The color drain from my eyes
Cold cereal and TV
Before I go to sleep
Breathing out, hoping to breathe in
I know nothing's wrong, but I'm not convinced
No, I know, I know, I've already told, myself
Maybe I'll believe it from somebody else
No, I know, I know, I've already told, myself

Just don't think so much, don't think so much
"I know nothing's wrong but I'm not convinced"
My 9 year old whines "not this song again." Yes, my child, this song again and again ❤
Yes, make the child listen to *real* music!
I discovered this music for Life Is Strange.Thanks Dontnod.
+El Suscriptor Oscuro Me too !!! life is soo amazing ... like LN

+Iván Ramos Along with other awesome bands and artists like. Foals, Jose Gonzales, Mogwai, Syd Matters, Sparklehorse, Breton and Message to Bears
I can't believe it's been a decade since this came out.. wow. I still play the CD on roadtrips ❤
Every time I listen to Local Natives I get this excited feeling in my stomach and the music just makes me happy, they are just so amazing!
Local Natives brought me here
lmao
AH, YES! I FINALLY FOUND IT!
I've been searching "Local Natives - Waves" forever. I guess it's called "Breakers," not "Waves." 😂😂😂 My brain is L E G E N D A R Y .
Why do I find myself crying whenever I listen to this ?
Because it's simply beautiful.
I feel like Local Natives is a little hidden secret and I like it that way :)
Wow, High School rushes back to me when I listen to this, it's wild that it's been six years.

My friend, Todd, brought me here. Everyone needs a Todd. You can't have mine. Get your own Todd.
I brought myself here. Local Natives now has my soul. I am ok with it.
same
Tomorrow. Local Natives AND Tegan and Sara. This is true excitement. :)
i love the drums. boom boom boom boom badabadabadabada boom boom boom boom badabadabadabada... alright, look... i can feel you judging me. you can just knock that off right now.
I don't think I've ever listened to this song without straight afterwards going back to 2:58 to hear the last chorus a 2nd time.
The opening of this song freaks my dogs out.
+Marcus Woodral Omg same!!
I would love to see these guys performing live.

LN never disappoints.
Can't believe it's been seven years already. This song is timeless.. so fresh and rejuvenating.
Twas this tune that punched me in my drunken gut in a field in Yorkshire in 2013. Big thumbs up!
This band never ceases to amaze. Do yourselves a favor and see them live because it's unreal how talented they are (Fans of the band already know this).
So glad Rolling Stone recommended this group. Probably would've never discovered their amazing talent otherwise.
Saw them last night with Kings Of Leon.. they are pretty awesome
this music makes me want to live life so hard. beautiful.
When I heard this song a couple days I was like "wow" reminds me of From Indian Lakes, such a good song .
I was on AK's (from The Underachievers) twitter and he recommended a Local Natives song. Now I'm on a listening spree.
haha right. Wouldn't picture AK likin them, but he is pretty diverse.
Local Natives is so amazing !
Pretty amazing, I saw them back in August. I was front and center with big curly hair.
i think i seen you! lol
there's just so much emotion, it's beautiful. this is the first thing i've heard of you guys. high expectations.
Straight hippie, indie, and gypsy vibes I get from this song. I fucking love it!! I close my eyes and pictured this song while flashes through my life memory 👌🏽😌
There's some really gorgeous footage in this video. Love their music. Taylor's mustache reminds me of Freddie Mercury.
Reminds me of my wife! Beautiful!!!
wow, i haven't heard this song in years!! so good to hear it again
Brasil ❤🇧🇷
Hummingbird... The best album of 2013
haaaaaa that was blasting on the way into bonnaroo
instant memories
god... if only that would happen. we can only dream

First heard them opening at a Kings of Leon concert.Great band for sure 👌
So did I! They were excellent
The Sasquatch festival is always amazing, these guys made it so much more. Respect.
This song makes my heart explode in the best way possible.
I love you guys. So excited.
One of my favorite songs at the moment. Nice, dreamy quality and I love those rat-a-tat-tat drums. I love it. Thank you!
Fans of this Local Natives know two things: One. This band is absolutely amazing. Two. Any music they put out is equally as amazing. For me to be able to listen to their debut album over and over again since it came out, makes me excited for the new one!
This song is incredible! Honestly
beautiful. i'm gonna listen to this song forever
Iv just discovered this band by chance. Thank you "chance" ❤

***** good point:)
Not a single song by these guys you can't love
This is a song that gives me goosebumps, amazing

+Dr. Holmberg woah look out people there a badass here

Love these guys. Such powerful music that touches me deep in my soul
Mike Moon same here
Just turned my daughter on to these guys. She likes Bad Suns. I like the Natives local flavor.
If you're into these guys, then you should also check out Oliver Riot. They're an up and coming band from Azusa, CA. They just recorded their first single. It's definitely worth checking out.
Haven't been able to get enough of this song! So stoked for the new album!
I get this nostalgic feel of my youth when I listen to this song!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...
Waiting for
My words to catch like I'm trying
To strike a match that's soaking wet
See through skull
See through skin
Leave all the lights on
Can't see out
But they see in
Stare down my nose, watching
The color drain from my eyes
Cold cereal and TV
Before I go to sleep
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...
Breathing out
Hoping to breathe in
I know nothing's wrong but I'm not convinced
No, I know, I know how far it's gone myself
Maybe I'll believe it from somebody else
No, I know, I know how far it's gone myself
Maybe I'll believe it from somebody else
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...
Breathing out
Hoping to breathe in
I know nothing's wrong, but I'm not convinced
I can let it happen, just let it happen
Just don't think so much, don't think so much
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...
Was looking for Breakers by As Tall As Lions
Very Glad I stumbled into this:)

this gives me chills
Hey Erica, you just won all of TH-cam with that comment. Congrats, lady.

I remember when I heard a song by the Local Natives for the first time. It was one of those nights were everything feels absolutely perfect. I was riding around the west side of the city at night and this song came on. They have been one of my favorite bands ever since!
you like up the ass muzik. may I suggest yani. or that other guy with the flute.
jim james I'm not exactly sure what up the ass music is, but why are you watching this video?
jim james Dude, you are so lame.
heavy feet, breakers and wide eyes and the sun hands are great
Gracias Life is strange por mostrarme esta increíble banda. "Nada" un saludo
Tune of the year!
They played this last night and the crowd went crazy. You guys honestly rocked Houston so hard
I love the band, this song, and this music video. But for some reason I lose it when Taylor Rice starts rolling 😂😂😂😂😂
I saw them in O2 Academy Oxford in Spetember 2013... one of the best experiences of my life!
These boys were by far the best band I saw at Greenman Festival this year. Superb
man oh man i am so excited for this album and the tour
good discovery today... heard they are playing in my hometown
It's like a new song every time I listen to it.
my soul is melting from having to wait another month for this album... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Im in love with this song
You guys are freaking epic live!!!!!
indeed, I love them and all, but wasn't expecting a whole lot from them when I saw them concert... but when i saw them, I was simply blown away!
Sun hands was badass live! The building was shaking
more more more !!
Natives, tour the midwest pleaseeeee. we
Saw these a few years back and they just get better and better. Brilliant tune
Seriously stoked to see these guys in Toronto. I will finally be able to cross them off my music bucket list...
Going to see these guys tomorrow night! Wooo!
forever thanking LIS for putting Mt. Washington on their game... idk why it took me so long to actually find the music on the game... when the game first came out i instantly fell in love with the soundtrack but never took the time to look up al the songs until like 6 months ago
De chile ! I love Local Natives Tengo 12 años y amo este estilo de musica !!!!! Quiero que venga a chile !!!! Pliss
Seeing these guys this Friday in Seattle with Kings of Leon!!
I'm really glad that I found this band.
Love, love, love this incredible song. So beautiful and addicting.
greatest oooohhh of all time
I love finding different, wonderful and easily much more talented groups, bands and artists on youtube instead of listening to mainstream music! this is absolutely wonderful :')
Seriously one of the coolest music videos I've ever seen
Seeing them tonight in San Diego with Kings of Leon! :) So excited!
could'nt ask for more from this band
RIGHT?!?! I don't know why they havent done that. Sun Hands is one of my fav songs and it needs a video. I concur.
They were so so wonderful at Green Man. Love 'em!!
