    I recorded Jools Holland last night as i wanted to see Jamie T. Accidentally pressed play at the start of this song. I then sat totally spellbound and open mouthed and watched a truly great front man performance.
    How on earth he managed to look heartbroken, crushed, and a 10 year old boy, whilst also looking like a wise yet cynical and furious man all in the space of a couple of lines is beyond me!
    People criticise his dancing and his facial expressions, but who cares. The most important thing in life and especially as an artist is to have commitment and passion in what you believe, and to stay true to yourself. A truly overpowering performance. He gave you everything he had and everything he believed in.
    I have watched this about seven times now and still not looked at the Jamie T stuff!

      Couldn't put it any better. Frustrates the hell out of me when people assume this is fake, rather than assume the man is passionate and not scared to let that passion loose. And they seem to think that they've just sprung out of the ground, rather than the actual truth - that they've been putting on shows like this for years in little clubs all over America and Europe. Kudos for awesomely summing up the performance he gave

    Since i had the pleasure of watching this several months ago on me tele, I've been well and truly gripped. His stage presence makes me wanna run down to the local boozer which has a karaoke on albeit on a cold and rainy night and just blast out some phenomenal shapes and not give a flying fuck what people think just like this wonderful man. Not only that he absurdly pulls them off and creates a whirlwind of emotions that entice the audience whether they like the band or not. Only the best artists can do that.

    Wow, I just discovered this song in the past few days as it's used in a TV commercial here in the UK currently and I was blown away by it so today I saw the commercial again, quickly grabbed a pen and wrote down what lyrics I could and then Googled them to see who the hell this band was! So, now I'm HUGELY thrilled to have found out who they, and their lead singer (with such a fantastic voice!) is and I'm over the moon! I noticed a comment from someone to one of their videos that they did this song on Letterman, so I just watched that video too (and am watching this right after that one) and for the first time saw them perform it and I'm even more blown away!! I think Sam Herring is genius - the lyrics to Seasons (Waiting on You) are profound, moving, and his performance on Letterman was captivating - freaky dancing (like a drunk dad having spasms dancing at a wedding!), passion and that growl! He reminded me a bit of Meatloaf who was also theatrical and blessed with an incredible voice and energy in his performances. Anyhoo, so now I'm hooked on Future Islands and want everything they've done and I'd love to see them live!!

As watchable as Per Ubu and Tragically Hip's singers, with no daft costume needed to enhance the experience.
