I commented on this 8 years ago , it made my spine tingle then .. It still does !! Just one of those songs , it helps that I live by the sea in Dorset England ,,, " staring at the sea " ...... Cheers guys 🥰
Good job Dave! I hope my kid and I will connect like that. He's only 8 and loves music. He sees me home recording and sometimes sings. I hope when he's a teenage we can listen and write songs together.
Hey, you, the one hooked with this song. You are not alone, I share a deep love for this song and it's making me very happy, I just wanted you to know, I feel the same way and wherever you are, I know you feel that way too. Knowing that there is someone feeling the same way I do, gives me peace, even if I don't know you, so smile!
Never in my life I cried so much during a concert than during the first couple of minutes of this song. Listening to it, I made it through one of the toughest years of my life, but it wasn't until I saw it live that I understood how much the lyrics meant to me.
I wrestled by the sea A loneliness in me I asked myself for peace And found it at my feet Staring at the sea... All that glitters is gold Don't believe what you've been told People lie, people love, people go But beauty lies in every soul I wrestled by the sea A dream of you and me I let it go from me It washed up at my feet Staring at the sea... All that glitters is gold Don't believe what you've been told People lie, people love, people go But beauty lies in every soul If you wait, if you wait for the morning If you wait, if you wait for the morning If you wait, if you wait for the morning If you wait, if you wait for the morning How long, how long How long, how long I asked myself for peace I asked myself for peace I asked myself for peace I asked myself for peace I asked myself for peace And found a piece of me Staring at the sea..
Lucho Salinas i love that part, to me is like the ultimate meaning of life, I hate when ppl want to give up on each other because of ppl lying, being cruel and making mistakes I do believe that every person does mistakes and that doesn’t make them bad or malignant, also I hate when some ppl say that we are not special and they denigrate other people existence and even their own saying that we are just dust when that’s not true at all, our entire existence is a proof that miracles exist how can something so organized such as life can exist in a universe full of chaos? To me it is a miracle, we have to believe we are special, because if we weren’t living, the universe would not even exist. what’s the point of having a cd if u can’t play it? The same logic applies to us, whats the point of having an entire universe without someone to see and appreciate it? That’s why we are so special and i hope i never stop to be amazed by how wonderful ya people are. Sorry lmaooo I got too carried away but this song made me feel and remember all of these thoughts with only these stranzas that u wrote
When i like a song, i check the commends always to see how many people feel like me and what they feel. And this reading always makes me like the music more and more. I love your stories my friendss!! 💖💖
I was looking for a song ...about a dream ...of someone with me. Found this one. Never heard of it...nor the group. I'm glad I found it. I really like it. I love finding some new(to me) songs. Now I can listen to it more often. It reminds me of how someone found me....on the beach.
I wrestled by the sea A loneliness in me I asked myself for peace And found it at my feet Staring at the sea All that glitters is gold Don't believe what you've been told People lie, people love, people go But beauty lies, in every soul I wrestled by the sea A dream of you and me I let it go from me It washed up at my feet Staring at the sea All that glitters is gold Don't believe what you've been told People lie, people love, people go But beauty lies, in every soul If you wait, if you wait for the morning If you wait, if you wait for the morning If you wait, if you wait for the morning If you wait, if you wait for the morning How long, how long How long, how long I asked myself for peace I asked myself for peace I asked myself for peace I asked myself for peace I asked myself for peace And found a piece of me Staring at the sea
Has the feel of Ice House and The Fixx sound that I grew up with and love. Especially Ice House's Trojan Blue, Great Southern Land, Crazy, and No Promises...
This song and video should have 6 MILLION views!!! I hope I get a chance to see them in Chicago. Best artist I have heard in a decade!! I can't stop listening to them!!
Thank you...i love them every body has an option and how much it actuall means is subjective...i appreciate how you feel and appreciate how their music makes me feel
First heard this in 2015, and finally got to see them live last Sunday. Fully did not expect them to play this track and when they did I felt complete!
If Future Islands keeps this up, they are going to find themselves in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (they probably will be touring when they get the news)! Keep it up guys! Keep on creating wonderful art…I am a fan!
“I asked myself for peace.” My younger brother John and I bonded over many Future Islands songs several years back, including this one. He passed away from cancer at 34 in 2018. Every time I hear this song, I think of him. Thanks for this great song and many others off of that album.
This song elicits the calm feeling of spending time with someone that makes you feel safe and at peace. Time flies when you spend time with that person.
"People lie. People love. People go." This song is such a master piece. i'm listenning to this song again and again after we broke up, im' so sad at this moment...
I ask for peace. I truly ask for peace. Like you did. ... But it is extremely hard when there's a war inside me and surrounding me. An emotional war. That wastes me off with every single day that passes. SAtill don't know how is it that I haven't gotten myself killed or anything. Thanks for the music. From a frustrated musician to a talented one!
Just seen Future Island live on TV at Glastonbury music festival in the UK 28th June 2015 what a brilliant band the crowd loved them. Please do Glastonbury again in the future. Best wishes John
Unashamedly pop, but singer Samuel T. Herring brings an intensity/sincerity to it all. Short,sharp lyrics, haunting music, and great live too. Gardez la Foi. Sixtae
This section of the song is so beautiful lyrically "All that glitters is gold Don't believe what you've been told People lie, people love, people go But beauty lies in every soul"
I've not been so excited or mesmerized by a band since i was young, that period when you first discover music. There's just a great integrity to their work.
One of the bests songs I have listened to recently....and I listen to lots of different music...different genres..... if you wait, if you wait for the moment.....how long, how long..powerful lyrics....we all ask ourselves for peace....WOW !!!!!
I'm just finding them on Austin City Limits... In that sweet spot immediately listening! Like a cross of Billy Idol and Depech Mode or A Flock Of Seagulls or whoever. 80's/90's Synth Pop is maybe my second favorite genre next to Florida Breaks... That synthesizer work, vocals, drums and bass! Glad this is coming back! Major awesomeness and great work dudes if you read. Dang Sam's animated and has some range, very talented. Chills and almost tears they're so good.. This is music :)
cielo pura felicidad me lleva de nuevo a mi juventud de los 90s y en el 2000 yo tenía como unos 6 años y ahora tengo 26 años y me sigue gustando mucho ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I commented on this 8 years ago , it made my spine tingle then .. It still does !! Just one of those songs , it helps that I live by the sea in Dorset England ,,, " staring at the sea " ...... Cheers guys 🥰
Same... Hayling island for me
Live on the coast in South Africa and Surf.....love the song!
Future islands restored my faith that music isnt dead afterall
If you ever meet someone that likes Future Islands, you will know immediately, that they are good people.
you are good people.
Letsgojoanne 🥁🎸🎸🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶
I concur
I'm good 👍
You are a fucking legend yourself
My daughter introduced this to me. She has great taste in music. I'm hooked.
Haha, I love that!
isn't it great when your kids introduce you to great music, in my case it's even my granddaughter
Your Daughter is a Heavy young Lady!!
X2 Dave
Good job Dave! I hope my kid and I will connect like that. He's only 8 and loves music. He sees me home recording and sometimes sings. I hope when he's a teenage we can listen and write songs together.
Just discovered Future Islands I can’t believe I’ve never heard of them amazing music 🤟
Same here - great band
Me too just now
Art is nowhere near pop lists! Welcome to music for the love of music!!! ❤
Me too thanks Ea Fc25
Hey, you, the one hooked with this song. You are not alone, I share a deep love for this song and it's making me very happy, I just wanted you to know, I feel the same way and wherever you are, I know you feel that way too. Knowing that there is someone feeling the same way I do, gives me peace, even if I don't know you, so smile!
What a nice thing to write.
Ditto
I've spent half an hour listening to this and I have no regrets
same here....
me neither, can't stop, it has me
my dad showed me this band haha
Me too!
I can't stop listening to it! It's been three days now...fits too well with my current life situation.
I can't believe I finally get to see FUTURE ISLANDS live again, tonight! I sure hope they play this song (one of my favorites)!
Have they Played this Song , i find its one of the Best Songs on Earth
Just found this band. Really appreciating it. Life... hey?!
Same here! Good stuff.😊
"I asked myself for peace I found a piece of me staring at the sea" - truth !
melinloverose read the comment above yours.
I LOVE THIS GENTLEMAN'S VOICE.
Never in my life I cried so much during a concert than during the first couple of minutes of this song. Listening to it, I made it through one of the toughest years of my life, but it wasn't until I saw it live that I understood how much the lyrics meant to me.
I feel as if many of their songs are about un-reciprocated love, and maybe that's why so many people are connecting with it, myself included. =(
:(
You've hit the nail on the head ;)
It just means the song was doing was it was made to do.....Brilliant !
Infanti Bless U
This song makes me feel this nice little hopefulness.
+Apcometri We feel free
Mauro Junior absolutely
Will always adore this song ❤
Seeing them live was a dream come true. I can't wait until the next concert!
This band have one of the best creative bass players around. .
The bass player is DEFINITELY what keeps me here. And the Vocalist. And the Lyrics. Yeah!! The whole band!!
Outside of that there is a lack of balance for the talent is all I'll say 🤣
He reminds me of Peter Hook
Just what I was telling to a friend. They all are very talented but the bassist is a beast!
I love future islands and waiting on you is wonderful , I love his voice ❤
Every time I listen to this song, I have to replay it 20 more times until I'm finally just like, "ok, that's enough for now"
Same here!!!
I wrestled by the sea
A loneliness in me
I asked myself for peace
And found it at my feet
Staring at the sea...
All that glitters is gold
Don't believe what you've been told
People lie, people love, people go
But beauty lies in every soul
I wrestled by the sea
A dream of you and me
I let it go from me
It washed up at my feet
Staring at the sea...
All that glitters is gold
Don't believe what you've been told
People lie, people love, people go
But beauty lies in every soul
If you wait, if you wait for the morning
If you wait, if you wait for the morning
If you wait, if you wait for the morning
If you wait, if you wait for the morning
How long, how long
How long, how long
I asked myself for peace
I asked myself for peace
I asked myself for peace
I asked myself for peace
I asked myself for peace
And found a piece of me
Staring at the sea..
Claudia Birceanu thanks!
keren Navarrete welcome :)
Thanks so much for that......It just gets better and better by each lyric !!
Claudia Birceanu thanxx👍😎
Claudia thanks.
Why, WHY....???? Do I like them SOOOOOOO Much??? I'm HYPNOTIZED?? Bring it!
You haven't seen anything until you see this band live, amazing
And Sam reaches in to your chest and rips out your heart, only to tell you it's ok before gently handing it back to you
Somebody say this about a band they love every day. Glad you found yours.
I went to see them without knowing much about them and I was very impressed. They have such great energy on stage
Shame he is barely audible live, very bad microphone management.
Saw them this weekend. Finally. Can't wait until them come around again.
I'm a metalheàd, seen a lot of great bands. But these dudes live was something special. One of the best gigs I've been too, get them watched
I saw them in Cork in Ireland a few years back, I was blown away. Happy they are back touring soon
Lucky! Where was the show held? I need to seem them asap.
I'm glad you came to your senses
this song is so beautiful, how is it not mainstream
It's a hidden gem and better that way. The masses are ass'
No need to be mainstream
@@rodelbarrientos5252 thx
Oh this is so good! Lifted up my mood and made me move 😊 Beauty lies in EVERY Soul - never forget that. Thank You 💜🪷🌟
"Don't believe what you've been told
People lie, people love, people go
But beauty lies, in every soul"
shit...
Lucho Salinas fuck me.. so powerful
Lucho Salinas i
are you quoting yourself? who said that
Lucho Salinas i love that part, to me is like the ultimate meaning of life, I hate when ppl want to give up on each other because of ppl lying, being cruel and making mistakes I do believe that every person does mistakes and that doesn’t make them bad or malignant, also I hate when some ppl say that we are not special and they denigrate other people existence and even their own saying that we are just dust when that’s not true at all, our entire existence is a proof that miracles exist how can something so organized such as life can exist in a universe full of chaos?

I want to dance away to this song when I see them live!
Love it too
Sgo 🍿☕ Mr Joseph ☕ aka DJ foooookin tempo
Infectious to the bone. Just discovered this over the past week. My favorite in this class since "Empire of the Sun".
this class? you mean indie?
I found this song when I was searching for empire of the sun lol I love it
Women always ruining it at the end. So much freedom is not good. /|\
This song strongly reminds me of The War on Drugs... 2014 was a great year!
they arent really an 80s mockery band like empire of the sun. this is one of the few songs that has this sound that ive noticed
I find it hard not to listen to Future Islands everyday. So addictive.
I just found them a month ago and it’s insanely addictive. Absolutely obsessed
I was looking for a song ...about a dream ...of someone with me. Found this one. Never heard of it...nor the group. I'm glad I found it. I really like it. I love finding some new(to me) songs. Now I can listen to it more often. It reminds me of how someone found me....on the beach.
oh so very dramatic with all the dots...
My comment.....my way. LOL *grins* ........
Muffett53 I love this comment
it's nice to enjoy things this simple.
oh the bass lines...the synthesiser. ..the voice. Best bloody band I've heard in YEARS
I wrestled by the sea
A loneliness in me
I asked myself for peace
And found it at my feet
Staring at the sea
All that glitters is gold
Don't believe what you've been told
People lie, people love, people go
But beauty lies, in every soul
I wrestled by the sea
A dream of you and me
I let it go from me
It washed up at my feet
Staring at the sea
All that glitters is gold
Don't believe what you've been told
People lie, people love, people go
But beauty lies, in every soul
If you wait, if you wait for the morning
If you wait, if you wait for the morning
If you wait, if you wait for the morning
If you wait, if you wait for the morning
How long, how long
How long, how long
I asked myself for peace
I asked myself for peace
I asked myself for peace
I asked myself for peace
I asked myself for peace
And found a piece of me
Staring at the sea
Stumbled upon this band a couple of days ago and and let me tell you, I haven't stopped listening to their songs since! Album is on repeat!
EXCELLENT BAND....🙏😇💖🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 HE'S VERY CHARISMATIC....💖
Has the feel of Ice House and The Fixx sound that I grew up with and love. Especially Ice House's Trojan Blue, Great Southern Land, Crazy, and No Promises...
The more I hear this song, the more beautiful it gets.... The lyrics are so full of hope and relief, it's a lot to take in!!!
Who knew we'd all be on our own quarantine Islands in the Future.
Lol
💗💭
This song and video should have 6 MILLION views!!! I hope I get a chance to see them in Chicago. Best artist I have heard in a decade!! I can't stop listening to them!!
If you're a talented musician and happy, please do a song about how you feel. We depressed people need stuff like that to keep going.
what a scumbag crying communisto. Get yourself a job!
Dani Feany You know, there's a reason they call it ASSumption
WeirdoOverlord 2 Yes..so it is! ;)
WeirdoOverlord 2 LMAO....I can dig it
Hey, internet stranger, you can always talk to me when you're feeling down.
Future Islands is the rebirth of the 80s.
Brilliant
71 and holding
Yeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssss!
Not really.
Nope. Is the rebirth of real music as art, with soul, creativity and freedom as other wonderful bands in our time.
This song.....is the ti
Thank you...i love them every body has an option and how much it actuall means is subjective...i appreciate how you feel and appreciate how their music makes me feel
This is the song that brought me to the Islands about a year ago, and I've been eternally grateful.
First heard this in 2015, and finally got to see them live last Sunday. Fully did not expect them to play this track and when they did I felt complete!
Those opening lines are just glorious.
Heaven.......pure blissfulness. Takes me right back to my youth in the 80's.
😭 ❤️ sound of the heart, so much potential so much hope but lingers so much pain and sorrow.
To me this song means, if you want peace, you should stop and look towards your own self.
Yeman
If Future Islands keeps this up, they are going to find themselves in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (they probably will be touring when they get the news)! Keep it up guys! Keep on creating wonderful art…I am a fan!
this band is my new addiction.
Unbelievable! One of my favourite ever songs. Spent about 20 hours listening to this last year.
“I asked myself for peace.”
My younger brother John and I bonded over many Future Islands songs several years back, including this one. He passed away from cancer at 34 in 2018. Every time I hear this song, I think of him.
Thanks for this great song and many others off of that album.
cancer is the worst thing plaguing this earth, sorry for your loss.
Is it to old at 62 to be dancing around to this band .......brilliant!
Is it too young at 18 to be dancing around to this band .......brilliant!
You were wonderful in Victoria on the weekend. Thank you for the gift of your music!!!!!! Canada loves you!!!!
2024 still listening? ❤❤❤
Still listening ❤❤
I just found these guys. So glad I did. Amazing vocals. Great synth. I’ll be listening for years to come now.
Just discovered them in 2024 they jam
Of Course....got me through some tough times!
😆HELL YEAH🤘🏾🎉🥃🎉🥃🎉🥃🎉🥃🎉🥃!!!!
Had to have my nightly jig and dance to ‘seasons change’. Just love the way he sings this song.
did you recreate his funky dance moves from the letterman performance?!!!
This song elicits the calm feeling of spending time with someone that makes you feel safe and at peace. Time flies when you spend time with that person.
This song is love, future islands is life
Future Islands= fine art for ears, eyes and soul. Love this band so much.
Just discovered this band. Thanks to youtube. What a find.
What a great band!!!
"People lie. People love. People go."
This song is such a master piece.
i'm listenning to this song again and again after we broke up, im' so sad at this moment...
I'm obsessed, Future Islands are beyond amazing
I can't wait until I'm in heaven and can feel this same happiness times 1000 all the time. Thank you Future Islands.
Beautiful song. Gracias doble nueve!
I ask for peace.
I truly ask for peace. Like you did. ...
But it is extremely hard when there's a war inside me and surrounding me. An emotional war. That wastes me off with every single day that passes. SAtill don't know how is it that I haven't gotten myself killed or anything.
Thanks for the music. From a frustrated musician to a talented one!
Where has this been all my life?
Best song ever. I am glad you found it.
That song makes me cry..
Me too but I love it
this song gets stuck in my head all day and its always a good day
I cant stop listening. Lost my dad this week and my whole family loves this song
Just seen Future Island live on TV at Glastonbury music festival in the UK 28th June 2015 what a brilliant band the crowd loved them. Please do Glastonbury again in the future. Best wishes John
John Carr Haha me too. They were great. Love the sound. The frontman has a good stage presence too
John Carr Fan-dabie-dosie, what a great band, best thing on the Glasto tv coverage by far.
Definitely, I managed to see them front row at Glastonbury, it was amazing
Unashamedly pop, but singer Samuel T. Herring brings an intensity/sincerity to it all.
Short,sharp lyrics, haunting music, and great live too.
Gardez la Foi.
Sixtae
I soooooooo love this song..... Loneliness in me. I ask myself for peace. I found it at my feet, staring at the sea.
I CANT GET ENOUGH
another perfect song!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, it is ;-))
Great! Love the video! Beach 🌞....
Nice heart warming song ;)
How long? 😥 This song speaks to my soul I never knew I had before I pressed play.
Love the sound...Bowie, Smiths, Flock of Seagulls
New-Wave???
Republic of loose🇮🇪
I don't know why, but this song reminds me of happy days years ago... Thank you, Future Islands'
your lyrics helped me overcome someone i loved deeply
Same over here but the whole thing was I was never in a relationship with them
This section of the song is so beautiful lyrically
"All that glitters is gold
Don't believe what you've been told
People lie, people love, people go
But beauty lies in every soul"
Thats my favourite bit too. ❤
Just found these boys. And liked this song and even more when I saw they are from NC.
Amen what a wonderful song amen all their songs are great and meaningful to our life in these hard times
I've not been so excited or mesmerized by a band since i was young, that period when you first discover music. There's just a great integrity to their work.
I love Future Islands ❤❤❤❤ can't wait for the live performance next week!
Seeing them @ house of blues in 2 hours!
This song is fantastic!! One of the best songs all time. Future Islands music heals all wounds.
Just beautiful 🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the bests songs I have listened to recently....and I listen to lots of different music...different genres..... if you wait, if you wait for the moment.....how long, how long..powerful lyrics....we all ask ourselves for peace....WOW !!!!!
I love this song!
As do I...
Jessica Sanchez my nephew introduced this song to me..i love it!!
Impossible to not be touched by this band ......or maybe by having a heart made of stones
I'm just finding them on Austin City Limits... In that sweet spot immediately listening! Like a cross of Billy Idol and Depech Mode or A Flock Of Seagulls or whoever. 80's/90's Synth Pop is maybe my second favorite genre next to Florida Breaks... That synthesizer work, vocals, drums and bass! Glad this is coming back! Major awesomeness and great work dudes if you read. Dang Sam's animated and has some range, very talented. Chills and almost tears they're so good.. This is music :)
I saw and discovered them also in Austin City Limits. I love synthpop music since the 80's. Love Future Islands
It was a great night finding them..Watch, within a few years this style will make a huge return. Epic music.
Found this because i heard it on the radio, absolutely fabulous..x
Com certeza esse som trás uma vibe enorme de nostalgia pra mim, mesmo conhecendo ela a um tempo curto, só deixando aqui meu relato...
Aqui um falante de português
Oi
Can imagine standing In a field with a bunch of friends , on a warm summers day, listening to this beautiful thing
2021 - Same positive vibes that we need the most in this f*cked up world! Thank you!
ESTA ES LA MEJOR CANCIÓN QUE JAMÁS HABÍA ESCUCHADO EN MÍ VÍDA 😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘💋💋💋
whoever is reading this comment, I hope that you are having an amazing day and that you know you're an incredible person.
The more you listen to this, the more you realise how good it is. Their best song, hands down - only "Balance" comes close
Have a crush with future islands... Sad songs makes me dance
I don't know why but this video is so nostalgic... probably because it's filled with objects and craft materials from when I was a kid
Love this song so much
cielo pura felicidad me lleva de nuevo a mi juventud de los 90s y en el 2000 yo tenía como unos 6 años y ahora tengo 26 años y me sigue gustando mucho ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
