It’s now 2024 and I still come back to this , who’s with me ?
Always! (@ dreadylee)
sim, aqui no Brasil!!!
Yeaah, I can't lie, I just came back for a hit!
Me I was thinking about his performance yesterday amazing!!!
Me, for one !
The other band members are thinking... "fuckin' hell, he's doing that thing again"
Great performance 👏
😅😅😅😅😅
Lol
Cocain is a hell of a drug. No offence btw. Love it. The song. The performance. 😎😍
😆
😂
I was sitting in the audience at this performance. I was
mesmerised with my jaw open. Was hooked from that point. Sublime.
You lucky bugger !! 😁
He aimed this song at me
The evil one was within him if you saw what really happened jools caught a devil cockroach. ,
He can't handle my crown ,I'm the chosen one ,the evil one within him is the opposite,he nearly fainted on stage at my presence.
Blew my mind, LOL awesome crazy.
Im in my 40's now and if I were watching this performance in my 20's I'd think what on earth? Now I watch this and wish I had the type of guts and talent to just go for it without fear or a care in the world.
Yeah, we all need that type of guts
I seen this a long time ago and was like mehhh, now am 32 I watched it and yeah props to the guy man 👏
brother you have one life, live it as you please
You nailed it right there bud. Go for it. Don't be afraid to be seen.
I've always had the guts to go for it on the dance floor like this fella. Just add alcohol.😅
He fucking means it.
He told the story, and i believe him.
You said it. He's an A1 performer.
Totally.
+Gerard King
Thought they might be one hit wonders. But after having now listened to all their other tracks I'm glad to say that they aren't. Most of their other tracks are also pretty damned special .
Absolutely, I felt his passion, and his pain.
+Ann Staples
Yes yes.
am i the only one who liked the dancing? this guy has presence
You are not alone buddy, this band are very good and the dancing is from the soul! True men dance without giving a shit who is watching!
Richard Aston yep ;) totally agree!!
Great performance + the album "singles" is ace
great dancing
You gained a peach (but you lost one too).
If you like inline skating with a hint of death metal. This is your guy☝️ I believe him. Great performance.
Napalm Death at the end.
You need some recognition for this comment. I laughed hard.
hahahahahaha
It’s now 2024 and I still come back to this , who’s with me ?
Future is so dope. I can't stop watching this track again and again. I am sure he will be #1 soon due to
💖a u t h e n t I c v i e w s 💖
It’s sooooo bad haha
I could watch this guy skating around his little 2 metre square for hours.
+xSkitZx same here
+xSkitZx same here
He's got me never heard of them till tonight there bang on I love geezers like him he don't give a fuck he justs goes for it
+xSkitZx Love this guy ! I so agree with you.
+xSkitZx
Yeah, hypnotic to watch and listen to.
Like a drunk uncle at a wedding storming the stage while the wedding singer takes a break and steals the show. Amazing band, top frontman.
that comment nails it
that idea would be a great music video for the song
@@dirktimreinbold5821 🤣
Yup❤🎉
When someone really hits the target...especially for all us old drunk (secretly extrovert) uncles out there. I feel validated!
2020 quarantaine. Watching this everyday to keep my sanity.
Me too, I’m learning the dance as well!
@@garyheaton4073 hahahaha.... You gotta Give it 💯 now!
hahaha me tooo
@@garyheaton4073 and the growling
Super Hans DEFINITELY! And take it easy y'all in this thread, hope insanity hasn't crept up on you......."Yet" 😁✌
9 years later and I still come back to watch the dancing at 1 min in. Don’t ask me why this video has been in my head for nearly a decade, I couldn’t tell you the answer.
Brilliant to see a performer actually enjoying their music.
he's like what Morissey would be like if he cheered the fuck up
bowles123 lol exactly
Then he would not be Morrissey, he would be plain old Stephen
Lol true
ah leave the Moz alone
😆😆😆
this chap is off his banger, what a hero
randyhandbag off his banger. I love it.
2020 and I still come back to this , who’s with me?
absolutely
Yeassiiiiiiirr!
When I first saw this I started to laugh. Then slowly became entranced by his ability to self express! Such a talented and unique individual. Well done!
Me too!
That's what I thought. I just generically typed in best Jools holland performance and this came up. the more I watch it the more I love it. like a bruise you can't stop touching in the best way
Me too respect man
I just think it's funny
@@jonathanwistow6845 It still is, yeah, sorry.
Passion like this can't be faked. This is real music sang by a real singer.
That passion can be replicated with a bottle of Scotch & 6x30cm lines of coke.
I love the specific measurement of the coke binge
Except Herring has been very clear about the fact these are performances. Doesn't make it any less awesome, though.
@@maxmason582secrette du1 you obrigado 37h à vous tous 53593u87z
This is a completely fake performance. He does the same thing every time they perform the song. Great song but I wish I never saw them play it live. The singer needs to calm down and work on his diction.
No, sir. It is I who has been waiting on *you*.
FanOfAwesomeness Right in the feels...
FanOfAwesomeness THIS IS MAKING ME SICK
this sucks haha
One of the reasons I don't go on works nights out is because I'd end up dancing and singing like this guy.
Well gar be free butterfly, some of us want this
This is so true lol 😆
His dance style is like a mating ritual for turkey's, love it!!!! ..... April 2021 folks! this song ain't getting old :-)
2:09 ...... "They gain a peach but they lose one shoe"
underrated comment thank you
Followed by wahooohooyoohoo
Can't sleep, 3 in the morning, this made my day already😂😂
"they lose one tooth"
A trade I’d be willing to make
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
Couldn't have put it better, a mesmerising performance.
cheers for that Jon you said exactly the way I felt, and I have posted exactly the same. Ive watched it 20-30 times and showed everyone in work today, hes fresh, totally different, And his moves are freaking awesome, its because they look so shit that they are great, Its like a Bulldog is so ugly its beautiful.
Couldn't agree more ✔️
Spot on. Completely agree.
Future island are still relevant in 2020 👍🏻
First time I have heard this where have I been, it's brill.
of course they are !
Have you heard the new single ‘For Sure’? It’s brilliant.
Why wouldn't they be? Still releasing good music
That's the 7th time in a row and I'm nowhere near done with this.
Mesmeric. Brilliant.
This guy, doesn't sing songs. This guy TELL stories. Love this.
He puts so much passion into it. I hope he never changes
+Edward Alvasteg (EdwardNightmare) You nailed it there. I felt like commenting the same thig but now I feel I'd be stealing yours haha!
The authenticity is off the charts
°
That’s the reason why I don’t like much this song. I search for stories in the books. But the singer is too likeable anyway...
sam is not giving a single fuck. bloody brilliant peformance
And by not giving a fuck, he's somehow also giving every fuck possible. Man is an absolute champion.
This guy does the exorcist growl looking like a no makeup joker in batman all while speed skating......pure original....genius
Incredible band. In most of their songs the drummer and bassist are so tight, the keyboards are taking me to a tranquil meadow in heaven and the mad god in front is going mental. I don't know which part to pay attention to . Brilliant band.
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.
Great minds think alike, good sir!
Totally digging the cookie monster vocal moments - nice. Love it. Soooo refreshing!!!!
me too!!! hahahahahhaha!!! omg
growls of kvlt \m/ 666
Arnie J. so funny
Love it, Cookie Monster vocals, and his mad as a box of frogs 'dad dancing'.
Could the lead singer be the off-spring of a love triangle between, the cookie monster,Gene Pitney and Iggy pop = Great frontman :-)
This is one of the most charismatic things I’ve ever seen.
Love it. Pure. Raw and revisited many times.
The comments make me laugh also His dancing is awesome... speed skating esk ...crying with laughter but also warmed by the collective appreciation and understanding of how great this is.
no
*_It's so good to see and hear something uniquely out of the box for a change._*
*_He got my attention from the start, great performance ..._*
Couldn't agree more. Great to see this guy expressing himself like that. Coming from the soul. Unlike most of the muck out there at the minute.
Joseph Davies ye they definitely made an instant impression on me.
Surely you mean out of his box?
Exelente opinión
Stuart Lee has gotten good at dancing.
Oh that's brilliant
Major MajorMajor General Ratko Mladic has gotten good at dancing
***** I actually heard that Ratko's dancing was on a par with his penchant for genocide, so he was already pretty damn good.
Major MajorMajor Haha this is perfect. Well done.
+Overly Sensual Fair point.
I will never ever get over 2:19. Legendary
CUZABIHHHHUHHHHHUUUU
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!!
Once in a while I'might blown away by an artist on Jools Holland and tonight was one of them.....
Every so often Jools unearths a true gem. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish.
Mon the hoops
After watching this on tv,I found it on TH-cam and been hooked ever since,so cheers jooles
The classical bassist-apathy of the guy on right, makes for even a bigger contrast with the passionate singer and it's so funny. Love Future Islands, their music has strange nostalgia to it.
👍
You can't take your eyes off him. Great to see a real original. Better than most of the shit out there
the most fascinating frontman performance i've seen in a long time
Seasons change, and I tried hard just to soften you
The seasons change, but I've grown tired of tryin' to change for you
Because I've been waiting on you
I've been waiting on you
Because I've been waiting on you
I've been waiting on you
As it breaks, the summer awaits
But the winter washed whats left of the taste
As it breaks, the summer awaits
But the winter craved whats lost
Crave whats all gone away
People change, even though some people never do
You know when people change
They gain a piece but they lose one too
Because I’ve been hanging on you
I’ve been waiting on you
Because I've been waiting on you
I've been hanging on you
As it breaks, the summer awaits
But the winter washed whats left of the taste
As it breaks, the summer awaits
But the winter craved whats lost
Crave whats all
Crave whats all gone away
'Cause I've been waiting on you
You missed out the UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH
He's like a villain at the end of an action movie delivering his monologue... But beautiful.
Looks like an accountant on shrooms auditioning for the olympic speedskating team
Sisters of mercy
Lasse Bauer fuck me dead son, hit the nail on the head.
Ha ha yes
BEST COMMENT EVER!
LOL
This guy's a Fucking legend, absolute class. Heard the song on the radio . Love it even more now
Me and my Ex-Girlfriend, the mother of our wonderful daughter, love this song ✊🏻💥
Last night WE went togehter to the concert of Future Islands in the Columbiahalle -> GREAT
I love the way these guys look like the other dads on my school run each morning and they effing rock
That wiggle at the end hahaha what a ledge
In these days of manufactured, no personality, posturing boy bands, truly magnetic performances are like hens teeth. The character in this guys performance utterly shone!!!!! Not only that, the song is superb as well. Along with myself, how many people were searching TH-cam on New Year's Day for another helping of these guys?
Thank you for showing me where i'm at!
Just saw these guys in concert yesterday for the very first time.
Absolutely. Mesmerizing. Stuff.
The atmosphere that vocalist is creating with his moves, voice and expressions is out of this world. If you like what you see here, and they appear in concert near you, don't even hesitate to go. I beg you.
I’m seeing them tonight in Melbourne, I’m excited!!
When the mortal body becomes music in it's raw form. I cried while I watched this live 10yrs ago & I cried again today 16/4/2024. Timeless.
I can't stop listening to this. I've never experienced anything like this and i don't know if i ever will again.
I've just turned sixty, seen lots of good bands etc but never heard Future Islands till last night, nye. Glad I lived long enough to see this! A frontman who is being himself and singing like he means it. Somehow the dance fits perfectly. As watchable as Per Ubu and Tragically Hip's singers, with no daft costume needed to enhance the experience.
you just have good taste Sir...x
Spot on assessment
Totally with you on that mate so refreshing 👍
I Saw Future islands for the First time around four years ago, I'm 55 years old now and if I live until I'm 60, then I guess I'll still be agreeing with you 👍
Wow, what an explosive performer I'm blown away
CONFESSION: cannot get enough of this!
I really don't know what has happened to my life, when these guys are my new favourite band
Aaron Leyden haha exactly, me too, how did that happen....
Aaron Leyden Same here haha :)
This is a brilliant song I can't get enough of it at the moment. The dance moves are as funny as f**k, you got to hand it to him, he is singing and dancing the way he wants and doesn't give a s**t. I normally keep try and keep that kind of dancing to the bedroom or when I'm pissed as a fart. Brilliant stuff I love it.
I’m hearing you brother
I’m a bit confused but keep watching. He definitely draws you in with his performance. Finger pointing, chest hitting, speed skating, unique wtf brilliance- love it🥰
It's like if Jack Black possessed Morrissey.
There ain’t much that’ll beat this, sound, emotion, performance, and his mental health about to expose itself to his upper limits, but it works for him.
We should be eternally grateful, I will never forget this performance.
@@PedalExperiments 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@jasonwood6814 your words 🎶♥
Sam always gets me out of the occasional blues with his hilarious dancing and grunge screams. He has his own captivating style. Same goes for the entire band: they're so unique and they produced some of the most beautiful songs I've heard in recent years. Probably one of my favorite bands, if not my favorite one!
Scrolled a lot of comments. First one I've bought. And I'm a fan of FI.
I love how this guy owns it! His dance moves and expressions... I laugh but I definitely respect the guy!
the greatest frontman in the business right now
You having a laugh? He looks like buffalo bill singing to one of his victims.
+GBDazzler Omfg hahahaha
+GBDazzler you win the internet good sir
He dances like my dad used to at weddings when I was little. All thats missing is taking off a tie and tying it round his head. What a wonderful thing. This performance made me so happy. Great song too
I’m going to cry…..
Seasons (Waiting On You) appears twice in my list of Top Ten Favourite songs of all-time. Once for the official video version and once for his amazing live performances
I think this is one of the most beautiful live performances I’ve ever seen. Pure emotion...
So many levels of brilliance here
And all in the basement.
brilliance? you on drugs mate?
@@genesisfootball1542 Yes
Seasons change
And I tried hard just to soften you
And seasons change

i gotta say this man is one of the finest and outstanding singers , with every emoition put into that song . i take my hat off to u . hes something special
I'll be damned if this isn't the best thing since bread came sliced.
TheEddieVedder It isn’t
Since July 6th 1928 then.
love his dancing and his eccentricity,great music and passion! Thank you LATER , favorite music programme /hk
That's right!
This is one of those bands, songs, lyrics, singers, artists you either get or don’t. I get it as do a lot of amazing people who have commented below.
You have to have heart and real emotion to get this band they are amazing
@@leightonlee4108 totally agree with you. Stay safe brother and keep on keeping on
Me and husband and our best friends saw them live at Cambridge Corn Exchange, absolutely great night, and the dancing was epic.
Me and husband and our best friends saw them live at Cambridge Corn Exchange, UK. Absolutely great night, and the dancing was epic. God I miss live music, sigh.
Must have watched this a hundred times
Just returned to it now. So fantastic.
My boy!
Me too I love it can’t stop watching
Just got in to Future Islands having seen this on Later.. the front man seems to be channelling a lot of (Post Smiths) Morrissey...great front man...let's be having more of this
he periodically channels the spirit of nathan explosion.... but seriously theyv ben around a while now and the album this track is on is really good tho he doesnt get mental halfway thru a sentance on the studio version but check it out =)
Auron710 Reminds me of Pulp, an overnight sensaton...after having been on the road for 20 years!! haha... I have broadened my Future Islands taste since I heard this track.
Caught this belter on an advert the other nite hooked ever since. Pure passion, mint 👍🏻
I must have watched this 50 times, amazing performance
Blown away, there's so much bullshit in the music industry today, talented yes but no heart no feeling & no soul behind the words of much of today's artists, a few really do hit a nerve or the nail on the head, this band is one of them. Thank you Future Islands I never knew you before yesterday, last night you blown me away, today I'm a fan!
He might be a pretty good speed skater actually
+Caoimhín Ó Laighin .......Now THAT is a good comment :-)
i lolled for 9 minutes
pmsl
lol..
I almost spit my drink to the screen HAHAHAHAHA
Who can really say they went for it .. even once- !! Not me not you ...but he did
Still the best thing on you tube
Me and mum were cackling with laughter at his moves, fishing for dance moves, best laugh all year. And then that demon voice when he decides to sing. This is the hi light of my year. We were in tears so thank you future islands..😂😂😂😂😂thank you! Best dancing ever
+Skateboarding Panda Word for word your comment matches mine. Really made my ny eve. Everyone was in stitches with his devil roar 😂😂
+BON3SHAK3R I know right! It just was the icing on the cake!😂😂
There is no better sound when having a broken heart - so desperate, so sad and at the same time so strong. I LOVE THAT SONG!
This is the correct interpretation. Well put.
I could watch him dance all day.
This is absolutely goat performance. I just talked about this in my podcast. I saw this in 2014 and immediately fall in love in this band. I saw them 2014 in Turku, Finland. What a live moment.
this performance if one of the most natural and expressive ive seen for a while..totally genuine!!
Russell Crowe/Jack Nicholson/Marlon Brando all in one - stupendous, just stupendous
+lisa williams add Stephen Graham as Combo in This Is England to that mix 😂
+BON3SHAK3R I had him down as a bit of a happy growly Morrissey with some capoeira thrown in. Capoeria is a Brazilian martial art and some of his moves were very like it. He also looks like Everton football manager Roberto Martinez.
I do see the Stephen Graham touch tho, it was on the tip of my tongue and I was thinking 'There's someone else who he looks like, actor actor actor.. ah forget it!'
But yeah Stephen Graham, the dots have been connected!
I know capoeria as a friend teaches and does displays in a brazilica festival. Took lots of photos. Yes I can get on your thoughts lol
bit of Jack Black maybe too but genius all the same for all poets are thieves
Am i the only one who got Steve Martin?
Stephen Graham is an unbelievable performer
I’d legit love a future islands movie starring graham as Herrring. And the real one is his id or something
@@Garbageman28 this is honestly a brilliant idea, just imagining Graham's performance as he bounces about the stage.
I can watch this over and over, and over, and over, and over...
I saw him on jukes Holland this New Year's Eve and that grunt at 3.20 is amazing 😂
Jules*
+Jordan Thomas fuck, jools*
+Jordan Thomas jukes jules or jools it was amazing
best new year's day ever
thats when I first saw him and I keep coming back
Great performance from an artist who puts it across the way he feels right, all those people disliking this obviously haven't got a clue what they're talking about. Look at the stats,( likes against dislikes) just because this band hasn't been manufactured by a certain mr Cowell and doesn't tick your box go back to your crappy little world of music or nursery rhymes and listen to the likes of Cheryl Cole, she'll be right up your street.
I like how you have to ask for lunch money.
I like the artist, I like the song, I like the studio version, but I sure do not like the performance and I think it falls completely flat. I could just about stomach the weird dancing, completely out of synch with the song, but the 'death metal' growling just leaves me cold.
This song has been played to death on BBC 6Music (I suspect it's on a permanent loop on Radio 2) and the presenters rave about it ..it leaves me cold. Rob Humble, so you're saying that if people don't like this song, then they must only like manufactured music? I'd hate to think I was into something not acceptable, please give us a list of artists we must like.
Martin Fahy have you listened to tom waits? its not "death metal".
I like Future Islands AND Cheryl Cole :)
This guy is quite clearly a dad! Fantastic energy!
2023 still love this band
Am totally addicted to future islands season's change!!😘
First time I've clapped eyes on these musicians and I was memorised. What a great performance. This was both musically and visually astonishingly weird. But where's the fun in being normal anyway... Refreshing to see music and dance (I think it was dance) come together in one bazar mash of artistic pleasure
Hi Dad... Thanks for influencing my music taste :)
Hypnotic.
This guy sings so well, he can get away with screaming like a monster and dancing like the drunk in the office party
more entertaining than most. He doesn't just stand with a mic trying to act cool. this is how singers should perform all the time
I don't know if I like this band, but I'm happy that they exist.
Incredible. He looks like he could have a right do at a pub brawl too
I remember watching it on tv that night. I’ve been a fan since.
Gonna see them live tonight at Edinburgh Connect Festival :)
