Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Rise above, gonna start the war
Oh, what you want? What you need? What'd you come here for?
Well, an eye for an eye and an 'F' for fight
They're taking me down as the prisoners riot
Eh, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Got shackles on, my words are tied
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Fear can make you compromise
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
With the lights turned up, it's hard to hide
Sometimes I want to disappear
[Instrumental Chorus]
Eh, oh, eh
[Verse 2]
When I feel kinda bad and don't want to stress
I just pass it off on ability
Well, you got what you want and what you never knew
Perfect gift from me to you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Got shackles on, my words are tied
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Fear can make you compromise
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
With the lights turned up, it's hard to hide
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Sometimes I want to disappear
[Instrumental Chorus]
[Bridge]
(Raise up to your ability)
You never knew what I could find
What could come when we realize
I don't want to compromise
(Raise up to your ability)
Yeah, I'm scared but I'll disappear
Running around before it corners you
Like he's someone who lost his way
(Raise up to your ability)
I know that you want me
'Cause it's simple to see of my ability
(Raise up to your ability)
Yeah, you're undecided
Hey, it's the right feeling
Yeah, I don't wanna run away
[Outro]
You gotta focus on your ability
Focus on your ability
Gotta focus on your ability
Focus on your ability
Then they can't get what they want to steal
Can't get what they want to steal
Then they can't get what they want to steal
Can't get what they want to steal
#FosterThePeople #Houdini #Torches - เพลง
2012: That Houdini song is fire
2024: Those Houdini songs are fire
😂😂😂 there are like 3 others i think
Scratch that theres like 10😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Eminem and foster the people bro 😂
Dua lipa too
this one is better that the other houdini fr
This is how the music industry works.
yeah I'm kinda glad i can't sing XD
+I Don't Mind Alternative theory: this is the band crediting their crew with their fair share of the achievement
that's true
theyre referring to nwo, look at bnw servant colors. research project monarch. not even the tip. research melodysheep garden of your mind, research mandella effect.
+I Don't Mind This is probably what they are saying.
The ORIGINAL Houdini
The ORIGINAL Houdini was a magician that died in 1926. Glad I could help!
@@VitorAmigoDaVizinhanca I assume this person was refering to the other song called "Houdini" by Dua Lipa, which is NOTHING alike. I'm interested in finding pairs of songs with identical titles, it's fun.
Well this one is infinite times better than dua lipas but I'm sure lipa's has more views
@@idkwt2use very unfortunately. people do not appreciate real music
@@raakone now there is the Eminem Houdini, its very good but not as this one
Can't believe that the guys behind *Everything Everywhere All At Once* directed this!!!! I'm only today years old when I found out about it. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE IT!
Oh wow, I didn't know that.
i still haven’t seen that movie but i love this video so you’ve convinced me to watch it now lol
Check out Swiss Army Man if you haven't! Same directors!
@@tsiah-tshaili688 I literally watched it after I posted this comment weeks ago! =D They're so *creatively genius* !!!!
@@leeshapon Hahahaha! Enjoy the film! =D
Is it Just me or is it a amazing feeling coming back to a song you haven’t heard in years and it just brings you back?..
word!
Houdini is still my favorite song by Foster the People after all these years
Yup lol
I was thinking EXACTLY THE SAME THING
Torches came out when I was 8 and man this is nostalgic
It's been 8 years and this song is still fairly underrated in my opinion.
I feel like they were ahead of their time tbh
I just can’t get enough of it. And the video makes it 100 times better 👌🏼
Idk 82 million views ain't exactly underrated
@@Kanzuki im 80 million of the views though
@@feiven865 tbh if this was released now it would have a broader appeal
The beat is incredible in this
My little sister has Autism and she communicates through music a lot of the time. She’s always playing and listening to music. Recently, she’s discovered this song and plays it constantly. Typically, she’d only listen to select parts of songs, but with this one, she’ll play the whole thing through and will make up a new dance to it every time she plays it. I’m not sure what makes this song different for her, but I don’t mind listening to it constantly at all. Thanks Foster the People for helping my family have such magical experiences with your song! 💃😊
This brought a smile to my heart. Bless you and that precious wonder child. She has great taste. I’m a black guy in LA and this song soars the spirit for me too. Rock on
very wholesome.
This sounds overwhelmingly wholesome.
I loved it. Additionally, I would love to know your story more.
Your little sister is a rockstar.
@@HasufelyArod what would you like to know? Im not comfortable sharing everything of course, but I can try to answer any questions
2024 anyone
Here 💃🏻🙌
hi, hi from Mexico
Si, yes , we from de vh1 neo ❤
Timeless 2024
Music connects pple
2012 : very awesome
2019 : made me cry
Same here
Why?
@@Uruguay182 nostalgia lol
Aaliyah Diandra Ohh I see! It’s not thaaat old 😋
Same
one of the most creative videos i've ever seen
Azaqaaaazq
yeaah
I agree.
Francisco Mazzini q bueno
daniels op
Incredible that the directors of this video are now nominated for 11 Oscars. Honestly they deserved it from a long time ago, lol
they’re only nominated for 3 of those 11, but it’s still pretty cool 🤣🤣
They won best director(s)
@@BROJANGSTER they also won all three 🎉too
Their film Swiss Army Man also had clear continuation of the inspirations seen in the music video for Houdini.
@@sam510938764 swiss army man is one of my favorite movies of all time, great film with deep meanings
Que está canción nunca muera 😎👽
Like how they did here?
Hola.
@@hexagonal69 XDDDD
Nunca va a morir esta canción
RIP
when you're dead inside but the people around you don't care and keep using you for their own needs
Florist That's sad to hear man
naaah i'm fine, i'm just telling what i think about the song haha, but still someday.. there's that kind of day, but.. that's life?
is this the real life?
Waw, edgy m8
relatable
Best. Music. Video. Ever.
+P1tri0t not. really.
de rek opinions
yup
+de rek nice to meat you Derek I'm derek
eyy
The beat after "sometimes i wanna disappear" scratches something in my brain just the right way
The best song from Foster the people, buen ritmo 🕺
Es una de mis top top del top 😜
this video is so powerful, it shows how the music industry turns musicians into puppets
Finally someone with common sense, thanks God.
+alist15 I think it's also about how they'll stop at nothing to get what they need to make money even if it means tricking their audiences or dehumanizing their partners.
+alist15 lyrics says it all, "focus on your ability"
Pretty sure we already knew that...
I agree. I think it's about how the people are seen more as their names rather than individuals with talent. In the video, they kept on using the people even though they were dead so that people would come and afterwards they were celebrating the success even though they were dead.
Essa música merece um loop infinito
vdd é muito boa
muito
Br 😍✌️
Caraca vei, você aqui
Yea
This is the only "Houdini" song that matters.
A message to the future generations:
Don't let this song die.
damn bro whats wrong with you
I have it all volumen right now
I think their(future generations) response to your comment was mumble rap. :(
This message is litarally under every song that has ver 50 000 000 views
Don t worry, it was never alive in the first place so it won t die
I don't know who's still here , who even knows this song , BUT I SWEAR TO GOD I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR 8 YEARS
I wonder how did you listen this song before?
@@strangeTomas555 on mtv
@@strangeTomas555 😆
How did you find it
Damn bro I feel bad for you but glad you found it
"Sometimes I wanna disappear."
That hits different when you're in a dark place.
i love songs that are dark...
...but really high energy.
they are good for the good times, and good for the bad times
"hey ya" is another one. i didn't even notice until i found a somber cover of the song that matched the words.
@@andy4an I like dark songs as well but I don't mind slower ones. Just came across Hurt by Nine Inch Nails. Love it
@@klaus1015 yeah that's a killer one.
when sung by a young dude, the lyrics seem angsty...
when sung by old johnny cash, it's absolutely tragic
i like some dark songs
@@andy4an both versions are dope but I always prefer the original. It's darker for me. Less sad just darker
The directors of Everything Everywhere All at Once also directed this
I returned to this video twelve years later to say that The Daniels won the Oscar for best director, very well deserved. 💖🎊
This isn't trashy. This is proper music!
Yes!!! Finally someone knows what music is!!!!
Arta wolf Thanks!
your right
+Arta wolf There are many forms of music. It bothers me when people talk about what is and isn't music because there are different types and people enjoy different things.
+Stubnoob opinions are what make us humans, but sometimes that's not a good thing
2012: cool song
2019:they're using dead bodies for money...
Technically robots
We not gonna talk about how the Asian guy nodded through the phone
DOING IT FOR THE MONEY :V
It's funny cause they get dressed like Bieber, Timberlake, and all the popular boy bands when they're fully controlled by the money maker industry.
Me: "That's why they have the asains!"
Still the best Houdini to me.
Helps that it was directed by The Daniels. Legends.
after 12 years ago, come back here again and i'm sure 2012 Houdini is much better than 2024 Houdinis
The moral of the story: No matter how good you are at your job, there's always an Asian better than you at it.
Ethan Hu i seen this comment in every asian video lol. In rap,guitar,sinnging and etc.
cheaper is not better............otherwise all the replicas would be worth bothering with.........theyre not..........theyre shit lol
well..duh...you get what you pay for.
but yet, you prb buy the cheaper replica products
what does that make you?
I swear by NOT buying ''replica'' or Chinese at all , I prefer proper Japanese made engines etc metals NOT cast like chocolate , the originals they TRY to copy to substandard levels , theres a BIG difference in a Yamaha and a Yamasaki........It makes me a Connisuer.........It also means ''Copyright Infringment'' does not translate well into Mandarin and they cannot even carry out SOMEBODY ELSES ideas and design properly without fucking it up
What does that make......THEM been as were getting into who is what lol
It does make you a CONNOISSEUR. :P
1:04 me when I first came across this song
2:27 me every time listening to this song
0:51 me whenever I see people relating Foster The People with the quiet kid school shooting
I relate so much to this comment. I love it.
*Person above and guy below gay*
Im 2:27 since day 1
Oh shish i thought 1:51 bruh how can you be like 2:27 listenin to dis
Me when I read this comment: 3:07
10 years have passed and my 19 y/o old me is still rocking this inside me. Missing those good old years. ❤️❤️
I feel you haha, I only listened to Pumped Up Kicks back in the day but in 2020 I discovered the full album. I'm 20 now and even though I never listened to the full album back then, it still brings me back to those sweet 2010s time
Welcome to thirties friend.
Shocks same age!!!
The only definitive Houdini song for me
This feels ahead of its time for some reason.
Maybe it was. But I found this song around 2012 lol. Forever one of my favorite songs.
SSX
Its one of a kind MV from one of the best Artists
its really made for all times.
Torches is ahead of its time.
This is so nostalgic, i can't believe 7 years passed so fast
Ghani Djebbar yeees 😢😢
Right? I was in my mid 20s now I'm almost halfway to 40. Lol. It sucks.
ikr
Ghani Djebbar
I feel like people misuse “nostalgic” a lot.
Ghani Djebbar Eight now. I’m in awe also.
10 years later and this music video is officially the most 2011 music video ive ever seen 😂 this whole album is still amazing a decade later too
Fr
Yep, the obvious CG and the slow motion parts really feel like something from that era. But it's very charming, though!
Yep fr im STILL listening to this song its just my favorite
how come this only has 23 million views when there's 7 billion people who could hear this great song!
Haha I like the way you think ^.^, if only everyone was able :)
***** No there isn't.
He must be.
But the world ends in 2012..
Jake Cartman I guess the world ended.
i'm in love with this band
salty coffee when did Mark Foster learn too play the piano...I wish I learned
im just in love with their concerts,they rock when they re live,but i hate their clips
Easily my favorite foster the people song
3:07 that’s gonna be the proudest asian dad i’ve ever seen
0:28
"Uh sir there's been an accident and mark, mark and Jacob are dead we need to do something about this"
*Nods at phone*
"Okay you want us to turn them into robots and make them dance gotcha"
+Landon McGinnis 0:09
rip
+Darth Vader but in general are they still alive
sweet welcome to camp
Best video summary ever
+Landon McGinnis Wait just realized something
They could have already had a plan, the producer dude mentioned the plan, and businessman guy went 'mm-hmm' or something else that he wouldn't have to open his mouth for
Heard this song in 5th grade now I’m a senior. Time flew by
Same heard it on MTV back in the day
Damn same
Yep same here man 👌
Yooooo deadass me rn
Luis BROOOOO I fucking feel you.
The nostalgia hit me very hard watching this.
ja, ja, ja, efectivamente, hay un montón de gente detrás de los artistas que hacen un duro trabajo...hacen magia... muy interesante.
Who is still watching in 2024?
This video was my childhood trauma but the music is very good
Me
Me
Me
Me too,
2012:I will always listen to this
2019: I cant believe I remember this
I don't even remember the name of the song
All I remember is "sometimes I wanna disappear"
And yes TH-cam knows what I want😂😂😂
I stil think this is their best video. Clever, dark, funny and with a deeper meaning saying they'd die before they become a mainstream boy band. Love it.
And their worst song became mainstream, how ironic.
Zkull It's a matter of opinion. "Kicks" is a great song.
Oh? I thought the music video was talking about how the music industry doesn't care about the artists as human beings but only about how much money they can earn.
hinde64
That's how I interpreted it.
***** I agree - "Best Friend" is the best video from Supermodel but I think "Houdini" is the best video from "Torches". I do absolutely love the "Best Friend" video - I think it's brilliant.
Im addicted to this now .. hahaha after pumped up kicks and Imagination now this
Directed by two now Oscar winners, and you can tell!!!
"Ooh, baby, shock me like an electric eel..."
Oh wait, wrong song.
omg
DonutUnderpants LOL! don't worry that's the next video
DonutUnderpants there must be a mashup of these two songs.
Vini M. Hm, true. Probs.
Salvatore Anzalone I disabled playlists, but I wouldn't doubt it.
i highly encourage y'all to see them live--they're excellent live performers
They ended the band
+Weenie Butt whyyyyy
+CALIFORNIUM because cubbie got married and wanted to spend his time with his family (cubbie is the one with black hair)
+Weenie Butt damn
they really are. I've seen them twice.
Very positive sounding song but the message says alot behind it
Gosh sometimes i forget how good this song is and everytime i listen to it i get my mind blown
i love this song more than i love myself
Maria Grant I know the feeling
Dido
me too 💜
I think someone needs a hug
but this clip better then song, maybe on 10-25%
we have no proof that they aren't actually robots right now
True
Hmmmm
They are buddies of daft punk
We don't even know if u are real or an egg typing in a youtube video
Bro that’s exactly what I was thinkin this videos sus it seems like there’s a hidden message
"Tio Paulo tá ouvindo? O senhor precisa assinar"
voy a amar este temazo toda mi vida, sin esta canción no hubiera conocido a foster the people 😭❤
0:39 "dicking me down is a prisoner's right"
DAMN YOU
Nater Gator Hilarious.
Angel Ortiz is
Nater Gator I was thinking the same thing
Nater Gator "taking me down its a prisoners riot"
I wish I could dance like that...
I wish I could dance like you when you could dance like that
dru. I wish I could dance like you when you can dance like him when he learns how to dance like them.
***** I wish i could dance like you when you can dance like him after he learns to dance like that so he can learn so you can so i can *mic drop*
You just need black invisible people controlling you
*looks at you* nope. I need talent
the torches era videos are ELITE i was obsessed watching them almost everyday lol
this is cinema
Yeah 🎉
Foster the people is like a boy band but without boy band lyrics 😂
IODebate so a band?
but these guys can actually write music and play instruments.....
They all handsome😍
Please... just never comment again.
@@econoline_crush7646 hahaha lmao
The concept of this video is just fucking amazing.
Everywere vibing with this music. Come to Portugal in Summer please 🙏🏻🇵🇹🔥🔥🔥
We love your songs never olds.
Foster the People and Dua Lipa should do a collab together of Houdini 🎉
don't forget about Eminem 😂
0:35 I used to think they said "iPhone 9 and iPhone 5" xD
me too LOL!
haha. :D
i thought so too until i read this comment
Hahahaha know i cant unhear it
Once you get to know fosters lyrics you can better understand the words he uses. There are many of times through out torches that people constantly question his lyrics, and a lot of the time his lyrics vary from the recording and live
Houdini, a review: Everything about this song is perfection. The heavy, steady cadence of the drum holds the strength of the composition. The little twists and tweaks of an electronic piano come in to play and catch the ear early on. If you listen carefully every little snap of finger and cheer of producers is quietly heard as the video shows a sinister plot to put on the concert tomorrow, though our beloved stars have died in a freak accident, the show must go on. As the final tweaks are added you are introduced to sparks of electricity in your heart and on the video. The trumpets come in and suddenly they are totally different but somehow more awesome? It was so amazing you have no choice but to celebrate. A magnificent audio and visual experience every single time I am feeling a bit nostalgic. 5 stars. Bravo.
Somebody does their music theory.
@@unkownneep9092 ikr but this song is really underrated tho
U talk too much
@@jessicasgherkin1613 no, he doesn't.
@@jessicasgherkin1613 I agree with this assessment: thru dying, they became better, more dynamic
I can't believe just how long it's takin' me to get back to foster the people, but this music has actually helped carry me thru some pretty bad times.💜🙏🏾🤞🏾
My fav song frm ftp. Period.
Korean music industry be like
Kim jung un in a nutshell
That how they replace Kim Jong Un
posta
XD
Ctfu man
We are all stuck on 2012 LOL
RETRO Alt 2012 good year
Alt Nation 2012
literally. i still, to this day, think that 2013 is a new year
RETRO 2012 was lit same for 2013
2012 WAS GREAT YEAR FOR MUSIC!
The symbolism, subliminal messages and dark meaning in the video and song are just eerie if you can see them. A lot of them go over most peoples heads but it’s kinda scary seeing it so vividly and blatantly in front of you.
Esperando el 2024 y está canción sigue siendo una de mis favoritas ❤🎉
esta joyita de canción nunca será olvidada por los fans
Si.
Si te fijas así usan la elite a los títeres
Efectivamente
@@andy5467 no
en efecto
To those who don't understand why people are referencing boy bands to this: they say it because these guys are being controlled by the bosses like every other majorly known boy band group and are portraying themselves as just strings and robot like figures being controlled by the music corporation. Even in death, they end up being used as a way to make money
TRU
Yesss
Calm ur shit ur getting to in to this its just a video
this is the first song and music video i've ever seen from foster the people and i'm absolutely impressed. it's well made, intelligent, i loved the meaning behind it and the song is so catching and wonderful.
finally~~~
foster the people was my band during this time...and still my fav, now old and a parent 😅 time really flies.
Wonderful message. Focus on your ability, your inner power, rise to it, fulfill yourself, then they will never be able to get what they want to steal
this song is like a twin sister of eletric feel from MGMT in my opinion
check out the electric feel remix...
I've always thought the same! omg
ya decia yo , esto suena parece a un tema de mgmt(? .. ummmh que raro xd
Their videos are by far the most creative I've ever seen from one band..
Take a look at Pet Shop Boys too
"OK GO" makes amazing videos
Passion Pit also have good videos.
NinYoda
So true. Consistently amazing, too
MGMT's has so pretty crazy, creative videos
This is me when I I feel like my anxiety takes over. I wish i could control but instead it controls me. I absolutely love this song because it hits hard when he says sometimes i want to disappear but like he says focus on your ability 👏
Ridiculously talented. That voice!!!
Mark Foster is ultra adorable.
Yees he is 😍😍😍
***** WTF LOOOOL
Zaffy 112 TO BE HONEST THOUGH!
***** I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE
MaddRezz That depends. Do you look like him? Lol
Some years ago (probably at 2012) I had listened this song at radio. Was at a high hour of the night and there wasn't announcer or something to tell the name of the song but the choir stucked in my head.
I tried to search in TH-cam "Sometimes I wanna disappear" but I didn't got anything. Maybe the song wasn't so popular at that moment or the search engine wasn't like today, I don't know.
Today I remembered it and I tried again. It's amazing when you finally find a song that was in your head for many time and the part you recognize is better than you remember.
Now I got the chance to hear the whole song again, and man, it's great.
Taun that happened to me with Shadow of the day of Linkin Park, i heard the song like in 2007, and then I just listened to it a few times on the radio in years. I tried to look up the lyrics but at that moment my english was so bad so I never found it since 2014 and i took me like 8 years to found it lol
Whatt
That was me with pumped up kicks when it first came out
Taun that feeling tho😭😭😭
This makes me so happy because i can relate 100%
Perfect gift ngl❤
"You gotta focus on your ability, Gotta focus on your ability"
That's the divine motto. ❤
I don't understand how some people still say there's so art in today's music. We have Foster The People, Twenty One Pilots, Coldplay, Greenday, Fallout Boy, My Chemical Romance, Gorillaz, and Panic! At The Disco. This generation is my favorite generation of music once you get past all the pop.
+TwentyØnePønies ALL MY FAV BANDS
I'm sorry but this is pop. You can make pop without making it commercial :) (i guess this is what you mean)
Amira Shaza I would've, but I haven't heard them much.
TheMilily Yeah, I mean't like commercial stuff like Justin Bieber and stuff..
+TwentyØnePønies Music isn't art.
I just thoroughly enjoy this.
That is such a perfect comment for some reason.
+Dinosaurz Thanks!
+Flames McGee It's relateable.
THE WINNERS OSCARS DIRECT THIS VIDEO
Anyone just remember the good times playing SSX and remembered this gem?
just recently got it on my jailbroken ps3 and its really fun
I think this is my favorite FTP song
Ricky G Me too
Witch Hunt yee
Ricky G I always thought FTP meant fuck that puto because of George Lopez
Ricky G THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG
Ricky G I can agree with that even with the new album release. dat music is gold.
Damn nostalgia hits hard sometimes
It hits like the bullets that the quiet kid shoots
ssssSTopmotion ooooooffff
Classic! I was young when I first saw this video and it's still awesome I love foster the people still one of my favorite bands to this day
Still killing this! SUMMER '24
It's symbolic of the amount of control producers have over artists. But that there is still room for art to be made (incredible art) by breaking out of the chains
yes
If it worked with Foster The People why they haven't done the same with Nirvana?
kurts head, well what's left of it is stuck to the roof and on the walls
o shit thats a *spicy meme*
are you saying they wouldnt have, yknow..... cleaned it up. i mean it has been a while my dude
Cnj
Michael Alexis Ramirez, bring them back to live! Why do he Have commited such thing? How unfortunate 😔
I swear they need to bring back ssx, this is the only song to go with snowboarding
SSX: Deadly Descents 🤙
Sometimes i wonder why they arent more popular
20 million views? Pretty underground.
125milly hits of one of their other vids..
I know, right.? They are an amazing band and an amazing group of guys who put everything they can into their music. I absolutely love them & think they should have some more reginizion.
yeah...becaouse 17 milliion views is not enough
***** Then show me what good you are!
FTP is an amazing band simple as that
2020 y esto sigue siendo una joya
1:28 esto es porno o que
De los mejores
La mejor★
Siempre será mi favorito
Torches es una joya
I just discovered this song not even 24 hours ago from a spotify playlist. From hearing the first second of this song, I became hooked. I think I’ve already played this song at least 50 times. Not only do I love the song but I also enjoy the music video because I believe it really has a creative aspect to it that correlates with the lyrics to the song.
The people that knew this song before Dua Lipa AND Eminem's "Houdini"
