It's sad really. Music has never been so available, and yet often so out of reach. In order to listen to one of my favorite Future Islands songs, I have to resort to TH-cam
I used to live in Paris, then moved to Switzerland but never heard about this band. Last year, I moved to Portugal with my Portuguese partner and one day, on TV, there was an add about concerts given by Future Islands. I was curious and I searched for their songs on TH-cam... and here I am ! Since that, I keep listening to their amazing music ! Future Islands make me travel in the past rather than in the future, I'm 56 and am nostalgic when listening to such good tunes.
It freaking sucks, but I guess it has to be this way in order for it to be great... people need to search a little deeper to find the gold-worthy music... they have to earn it 😼
Danielle Flores I'm with you. I haven't found a band in at least ten years that I immediately loved. Ran might be the best song I've heard in more than a decade
I agree, Danielle, It seems many agree, too! This song in particular, made me fall hard. I had heard it, without knowledge of its name or who made it. It took me two years to hear it again, randomly, and that was that.
My jaw hit he ground when I first saw them 2 yrs ago on Letterman, Im 50 now, not for many yrs. have I heard an amazing band as FI... they're stunning!
+Brice Parow Couldn't agree more. Same thing happened to me, only on a rerun in May of this year. Half way through, he got me: "Stop, rewind please." Proceeded by multiple views, raving, and much dancing. Despite it being very late and having major jet lag! Will always be grateful to the Letterman show and to 4AD for this. I flew up to NC last month to see their 1000th show. Front row. Met Sam. Instant hardcore fan like never before for any musician. Very, very happy.
I saw Future Islands at Brooklyn Steel a couple years ago with a couple girls. We danced the entire concert. We danced on the street after the concert, still high from the performance. I have fond memories of that night.
I'm done being brave This bitter tongue won't save me now Wet from the rain Looking like you Handled like a jewel Searching some odd rule To save me from the flames What the candle says... "Keep me by the bed Pet my weary head" Oh! If these walls could speak to me Or sing these eyes to sleep For what is broken is in the past As this perfect pitch won't last And so it goes The bird sings low The way I feel And you don't have to say that it's real And you don't have to stay, if it's not how you feel And you will go your way And it will never be the same But we'll be stronger when we meet again, one day One for me and one for you One is white and one is blue One for baby, one for truth All alone, to feel brand new And what we seek is what we choose And how we weep is where we lose All alone in baby's shoes All alone to feel brand new And you don't have to stay And you don't have to say And you don't have to brave this on your own And you will go your way And it will never be the same But we'll be stronger when we meet again, one day Let me help you make the bed And help you tear it down again Tell me something meaningful Just tell me something that you mean There's one for me and one for you One is white and one is blue All alone, in baby's shoes All alone is what we choose And no matter, what happens, to me and you We'll emit light and burst into stars And you will go your way And it will never be the same But we'll be stronger when we meet again one day One day...
Bodies lock and bodies tend to break I sing these blues to you Yet never land Another has taken off To another journey ahead Still wondering many thoughts Unsure of many things Life has been taking twists and turns Lately it's all just been blues As I sit abandoned Waiting for the world to end all day
Greetings from Germany. Damn - what a great song from an outstanding band. True lyrics, true music. Unbelievable. It make me think of friends long gone ...
Your performance on Letterman was amazing. That's why im here, why I just subscribed to this channel and why I will be buying your album. You guys are so unique and quirky and talented.
I can't get enough of him! This music it's diffrent it's nothing like anything that's around ATM it's so touching every song of his, his voice their is no words to describe how it makes you feel fucking love these guys! Anyone no where you can buy the album
La voz del vocalista es perfecta, desde la primera cancion que escuché de esta banda, A dream of you and me, me llamó la atención precisamente esa voz, tipo blues negro americano. Les da un aire nostálgico, retro, y la vez suave y bailable.
If i had to listen to one song and only one it would be this one, i cant express how it makes me feel and how much i love this song but it has helped me though bad times and i love it so much, thanks for creating something so wonderful
these guys deserve so much more than what they have now.. Im 15 and i am in love with Future Islands.. I really hope they come to NY.. Would be a dream come true
+the ryan wesley Really? Have you done some survey on that? Or are you the voice of a whole generation so you can talk for everybody? And by the way, comparing rap to shit means you're closed minded and musically inept and just a part of the "generic" youngsters you are poking at yourself. Pull your head out of your ass.
+Edvinas S. woah, dafuq? how old are you sir? if youre not my age then stop speaking. Have you ever heard a teenager listen to music like this? Im in highschool all day. The majority of my school listens to rap and all that shit.
+the ryan wesley Aye it's cool that you're listening to Future Islands because they're a kickass band, but there's some really good rap music out there. Sam Herring of Future Islands is actually a rapper himself. Goes by Hemlock Ernst. Hemlock doesn't have any solo stuff out right now, but he's collaborated with Open Mike Eagle, Busdriver, Serengeti, and milo, all of who are amazing rappers. Oddisee's another favorite of mine. You should check them out!
I stumbled upon this band during a road trip while listening to some live broadcast on Sirius. I've been mesmerized since. puts me in a different place and I leave refreshed
it's amazing how retiring from a fearful post...well....can help you let go of violence.... well you know if you feel good... Eyes low.... humble cause we don't have to show... Some make up image just to row... in this house of cards... Run the money tables out the temple... and touch me with your hand on my temple.
I cried for days and nights... fire in my soul...it was so sad.. but finally I mad it out of that PTSD state which made life so bad... the brain it needs a simple touch... a leaf for you a leaf for me... I do not c the point to hush... when I can sing away misery.... so I boldly take the call to live... not for another but strong in the land... and as I'm rooted in the Ocean's sand... I will gather those around us and we will band.... rock on rock on rock onnnnnnn be strong... no matter what the task at hand...
Their albums are great, but it's these hidden gems like One Day, Tomorrow, Cotton Flower, The Fountain and Ink Well that have made FI special to me personally. Simply poetic.
Ever since seeing FI perform on Letterman, I have been slowly getting hooked! I very much dig these guys. I enjoy the sound reminiscent of early OMD with the Peter Hook (Joy Division/New Order) bass hooks. What a band!
Heard you guys on new years eve on jools holland for the first time. I was GLUED to the TV. Not often a band has that effect on me. Absolutely brilliant,including Sam's moving and grooving
And you don't have to stay. And you don't have to say. And you don't have to brave this on your own. And you will go your way. And it will never be the same But we'll be stronger when we meet again, one day. One day...
They are all about music and not image or glamour, thank goodness there is still a band like this! They have not been tempted or spoiled by the spotlight, lets hope it stays that way.
I've been following these guys for a while. Found them on Spotify. Fxcking so glad they're getting exposure now. Great band and totally fresh. Looking forward to the new album.
This will be the only way I'll survive lock down this time around!! Watching & Listening to @futureIslands The lyrics are appropriate for the days we all live in now. One day we will all dance & sing together, one day 😥😪 Have Hope people 🥰😘😉 xox Thank you Future Islands for your amazing awesomeness!!! Sam keep on Jiving baby 💃🏼🕺🏼 the world needs more of you!
Its a crime i cant find this song on spotify.
It's sad really. Music has never been so available, and yet often so out of reach. In order to listen to one of my favorite Future Islands songs, I have to resort to TH-cam
To bad
Was wondering as a good future islands fan “how come I never heard this” when seeing this video
@@RealWrestlingBeaver It's because they chose to make this track exclusive to the album it came off... sad times
Ugh 🤮 Spotify ...

'Absolute stunning 🎵 song; beautiful!'
Love u guys. Come to Mexico.
Omg I thought I'd heard every Future Islands song, this is new to me!
please i am begging you to put this on spotify so i can listen to it on repeat for 46 hours. on my hands and knees.
Future Islands never have one single bad song! It's remarkable
Another great song that most people will never hear
so true very underated band
almost every song most people wont hear.
GilligansHighland so glad I found this band!
Is there a song that everyone has heard of?
It freaking sucks, but I guess it has to be this way in order for it to be great... people need to search a little deeper to find the gold-worthy music... they have to earn it 😼
"And you will go your way.
And it will never be the same.
But we'll be stronger when we meet again, one day."
I dedicate this one to an old friend.

I remember reading this comment around a year ago. Today I’ll do the same.
it is rare when i discover a band that i instantly fall in love with. you amaze me.

Agreed. How can these young people know so much?
Allison Collins That's great. Wonderful to hear this.
My daughter just introduced me to this band today. It has been a long while since I have been moved to emotion by music. Thank you Future Islands.
I will always thank my boyfriend for doing the same thing.
You should also check out videos of their performances. Sam puts so much emotion into his live acts!!
That bass, that synth, that voice, those lyrics. One of my favorite FI songs...
One of my favorite bands!
I saw Future Islands at Brooklyn Steel a couple years ago with a couple girls. We danced the entire concert. We danced on the street after the concert, still high from the performance. I have fond memories of that night.
I just discovered this band, just 1 big WOW.
me too :-) Its was like hearing Motorama for the first time, this also was a big WOW!
This band is great, full of nostalgia, melody, poetry and love...............
Beautiful, voice, sort, of sounds of Bowie!
same thought(s)
Was going to write that.. But we need more music like this now
If not Bowie specifically, sounds like it would have been created for the Velvet Goldmine movie soundtrack. Definitely has THAT sound to it.
The bass playing on every song I've heard by them is tasteful and melodic. Really propels the songs. Everyone in the band is amazing!
2020 and it’s still one of my favorite songs

I'm done being brave
This bitter tongue won't save me now
Wet from the rain
Looking like you
Handled like a jewel
Searching some odd rule
To save me from the flames
What the candle says...
"Keep me by the bed
Pet my weary head"
Oh! If these walls could speak to me
Or sing these eyes to sleep
For what is broken is in the past
As this perfect pitch won't last
And so it goes
The bird sings low
The way I feel
And you don't have to say that it's real
And you don't have to stay, if it's not how you feel
And you will go your way
And it will never be the same
But we'll be stronger when we meet again, one day
One for me and one for you
One is white and one is blue
One for baby, one for truth
All alone, to feel brand new
And what we seek is what we choose
And how we weep is where we lose
All alone in baby's shoes
All alone to feel brand new
And you don't have to stay
And you don't have to say
And you don't have to brave this on your own
And you will go your way
And it will never be the same
But we'll be stronger when we meet again, one day
Let me help you make the bed
And help you tear it down again
Tell me something meaningful
Just tell me something that you mean
There's one for me and one for you
One is white and one is blue
All alone, in baby's shoes
All alone is what we choose
And no matter, what happens, to me and you
We'll emit light and burst into stars
And you will go your way
And it will never be the same
But we'll be stronger when we meet again one day
One day...
Claudia Birceanu thanks a lot, pretty girl.
Mulțumesc!
Merci 😁
No matter what happens to me and you we'll emit light and burst into stars
Bodies lock and bodies tend to break
I sing these blues to you
Yet never land
Another has taken off
To another journey ahead
Still wondering many thoughts
Unsure of many things
Life has been taking twists and turns
Lately it's all just been blues
As I sit abandoned
Waiting for the world to end all day
Thanks Future Islands ❤️☁️
You guys have to come to Mexico city!
This September
Greetings from Germany.
Damn - what a great song from an outstanding band.
True lyrics, true music. Unbelievable. It make me think of friends long gone ...
😪
Such a song. So much sincerity in this music, in this incredible voice.
So emotional.
Its as big as life.
Born in the 70s , teenager in the 80s, Future Islands reminds me of this time.
They have this knack you just heard them forever.

discovered FI last night on jools Holland. 71 years old love my music this has taken me to a new level . Unbelievable wow wow wow.
me encanta la voz de este Hombre!!! saludos desde mexico
One of the most heartfelt musicians out there . The man can dance. I love him.
PERFECT!!
Woah...The emotion that this song brings all of us, I know, is the same.
I've never heard a song that was so accurate to my current feelings before. Thank you Future Islands. Ya'll are helping me grow
lol
Your performance on Letterman was amazing. That's why im here, why I just subscribed to this channel and why I will be buying your album. You guys are so unique and quirky and talented.
I can't get enough of him! This music it's diffrent it's nothing like anything that's around ATM it's so touching every song of his, his voice their is no words to describe how it makes you feel fucking love these guys! Anyone no where you can buy the album
kye gonzalez you could try a record store or maybe online
Everytime I play your songs I get such a great feeling... brilliant and hope one day I get to see you live in Perth, Australia..
La voz del vocalista es perfecta, desde la primera cancion que escuché de esta banda, A dream of you and me, me llamó la atención precisamente esa voz, tipo blues negro americano. Les da un aire nostálgico, retro, y la vez suave y bailable.
Negro americano 😂 jajaja estoy de acuerdo, tiene una voz increíble
ALBAN425 que lindo es leer comentarios en mi idioma. :')
ALBAN425 oye si! :(
ALBAN425 Tienes la razon....que joya encontre....
Escucha a marla glenn y veras el mismo tono...
It absolutely blows my mind that this wasn't included with Singles. It would have made a great album even greater.
I know like why is this not on the album!!! shocking.
It was! Just on the Vinyl.
That's such a crime, this track is beautiful and meaningful. One of their best songs.
All you do is make me smile and break my heart. Its not enough. :)
One of the best male voices for me. Sounds so 'honest'.
Come back to Perú again plssss!! In 2018 I didn't have enough courage to go out alone 😢
2014 had some certified bangers
Does anyone know why this song isn't on spotify?
This song is just gorgeous on so many levels. Beauty!
If i had to listen to one song and only one it would be this one, i cant express how it makes me feel and how much i love this song but it has helped me though bad times and i love it so much, thanks for creating something so wonderful
Met Sam after the gig at Manchester in Sept 2015......Amazing!!!Took my 67 year old dad along and he loved it and we can't wait for new tour dates!
I also went to the Manchester gig, amazing experience! Sadly I had to get the train though so I didn't get a chance to meet Sam :'(
these guys deserve so much more than what they have now.. Im 15 and i am in love with Future Islands.. I really hope they come to NY.. Would be a dream come true
What does you being 15 have to do with anything? What was the point of mentioning that?

For some reason his voice takes me back to earlier time in my life even though I’m just hearing this now. His voice transcends time.
exactly this band transcends your time, emotions. its magical to listen.
You guys just dont stop with the amazing music. been following for a few years
+Dorian shapur Sometimes a rock thrown in a pond takes awhile to ripple out, I live in Canada ... peace
Gorgeous song...can't believe I just found it! Sounds like it would be be a song for you and "the one". To all those who found theirs.
I stumbled upon this band during a road trip while listening to some live broadcast on Sirius. I've been mesmerized since. puts me in a different place and I leave refreshed
I love this song!!
Never gets old listening to it.
ive fell in love with future islands I love the style of way he sings them so GOOD.
Its amazing how lyrics with meaning can make a good song be great, i was amazed. Absolute pleasure to ride the wave with these tones
boom ya
it's amazing how retiring from a fearful post...well....can help you let go of violence....
well you know
if you feel good...
Eyes low....
humble cause we don't have to show...
Some make up image just to row...
in this house of cards...
Run the money tables out the temple...
and touch me with your hand on my temple.
I cried for days and nights...
fire in my soul...it was so sad..
but finally I mad it out of that PTSD state which made life so bad...
the brain it needs a simple touch...
a leaf for you a leaf for me...
I do not c the point to hush...
when I can sing away misery....
so I boldly take the call to live...
not for another but strong in the land...
and as I'm rooted in the Ocean's sand...
I will gather those around us and we will band....
rock on
rock on
rock onnnnnnn
be strong...
no matter what the task at hand...
La voz y la letra son.. geniales !!
Their albums are great, but it's these hidden gems like One Day, Tomorrow, Cotton Flower, The Fountain and Ink Well that have made FI special to me personally. Simply poetic.
Holy shit this band is amazing
this first time iv heard of this group i like their sound and the singer voice very good
Embossed On My Heart is my new Future Islands playlist. 🫶🏼
Ever since seeing FI perform on Letterman, I have been slowly getting hooked! I very much dig these guys. I enjoy the sound reminiscent of early OMD with the Peter Hook (Joy Division/New Order) bass hooks. What a band!
Their old songs are great aswell!
Totally agree. Made a similar comment on another video comparing the basslines to New Order and even early U2.
Jeremy Jo slowly.....? we both know the love happened quite quick. 😀
Totally got those Peter Hook vibes on a number of songs.
Heard you guys on new years eve on jools holland for the first time. I was GLUED to the TV. Not often a band has that effect on me. Absolutely brilliant,including Sam's moving and grooving
perfect melody
