They are laughing because he looks like a fucking moron. I dig the dancing, but, their is no denying how stupid it looks to people who aren’t already fans
Who would have thought a little song from Future Islands could affect me physically, mentally, and emotionally as it does, and I only discovered them by accident 6 months ago. Yes No Name Astonishing, hypnotic performance
I've loved this song for years but have never seen Future Islands til today. Passion personified. I'm breathless and speeches after watching this. The singer is my new favorite person.
dude puts so much heart and feeling into his performance that he can do some of the strangest singing ever heard and still connect with the masses. It's beautiful
Amazing for so many reasons . The drummer is cool and in the moment .. the keyboardist has head down and concentrates to create that quirky wavering synthesiser sound .. the bass player reminds me of random dudes in holland in 89..with a 70 s haircut ... and the front man is just brilliantly insane ... I can honestly say I've never seen anything like his moves ..total and utter loonacy that only John Cleese could rival. brilliant .. just brilliant ..it made my new years eve
so I'm at home watching MTV, ok the normal MTV crap was playing, until Jools Holland put Future Islands on there, I kept watching, but then something happened,...Herring Started to dance, it was weird at first, but then I kept watching, He started to sing, and that was it, I know that I was watching something really special. I compare this with the first time I saw Bono from u2, this is HUGE! This band is the Mother load! I'm in baby, all the way I hope they come California so I can go see them. I'm in! count me in
Lol, this is accurate. If you watch the clip when they were on David Letterman, there's the point where the lead is about to go full-demon, and the bassist has an epic look on his face of: ffs, here it comes...
I can’t get enough of this song. So amazing, and Sam’s performance is genius. I wish the song were longer. I’d love an extended version, it just ends too soon. Fantastic!
Sublime. This would totally fly past my radar, but the passion, wild elegance and joyous commitment elevate this to something that just fits anybodys musical taste.
My fave band since 2015 and still are in 2017. Saw them perform at the Enmore in Sydney on 4th Dec 2017. Absolutely brilliant. The crowd was in awe and gave a 10 minute standing ovation when this song finished. Sam Herring looked stunned as he stood on the stage with the band being drowned in huge applause . He said " thank you Sydney that was fucking awesome".
Love how he breaks the 4th wall, stared down that camera like it's the one he's been waiting on...... all these changing seasons....... Love It though!
I watched their first time on Jools holland and it changed my world. That first performance was pure multi discipline talent. He doesnt sing songs, he acts them, theres a difference.
Future Islands are always amazing live - seen them play a couple of times in LA and Bozeman - very very different (excellent) venues and great crowds - but they really lit the audience up. They've a loyal following that makes every performance feel like a reunion. Looking forward to catching them again when they're back in the US. Lov'em!!
We've been waiting on you guys!!!!!! woohoo love watching & listening to you guys performing. Makes me soul so happy, you have so much passion Sam!!! LOVE IT Thank you for your magic tunes!
this is way more special - the performance - than the music video! Wow this event must've been the most amazing thing to experience! 2014-2016 were great. Sure been waiting on me! :)
When I heard this a my way back home from 17 hr work day couple years back ... this Seasons change wld light up my drive home ...then found the band on TH-cam I do Zumba and he's got the body roll down
So pleased to find this, I was watching this on NYE and haven't seen it since. I didn't know the name of the band or the song but thought I'd find it under Jools' vids and here it is...such a brilliant performance, must admit I wasn't sure whether to laugh at him or with him (the lead singer) at first but by the end it's obvious he just loves his work and gives zero fucks about anything but putting his all into his performance and I LOVE that. ROCK ON dude..
I’ve commented on so many of their live videos already, but i just cant stop watching them! Im seeing them live in july, but I first found them back in about 2017 ish. Funny enough it was Caves, and playing in an old navy. I had just come from seeing thor ragnarok in movie, and was standing in the changing room. I didnt even have shazam so I was FIGHTING to find it with the 2 lines of lyrics Id remembered. So glad i did 😭❤️
Sam is such a mesmerizing front man. His unique delivery and performance of each song keeps me coming back to these live videos. Definitely my front-man-man-crush haha.
At the youthful age of 71, I love this group. First saw them at Glastonbury... you may laugh but they are on my playlist along side the Beatles...... 😊
i'll take all of that you got!
nice letterman..
very good.
Love this band!
That was WONDERFUL!
Letterman!!
Love when he randomly injects death metal vocals - what a performance
Cookie Monster
Sounds retarded
You either completely love Future Islands with your whole soul or you just don't know them yet.
Or maybe a person just is a musician, vocalist, and has standards that are above Down syndrome
the singer knows how powerful this song is
Sam's such a unique performer, almost daring us to laugh as he tears his heart to pieces. Gotta love him.
drumraine wonderful
Josh : edited to 'unique' but 'spectacular' certainly applies.
Great Observation
They are laughing because he looks like a fucking moron. I dig the dancing, but, their is no denying how stupid it looks to people who aren’t already fans
drumraine he’s definitely wild. Great song and performance. That’s how you keep the crowd going
A sublime mashup of a young Brando, Cookie Monster AND Grover. Pretty amazing.
That's it!!
Hilarious. I love him.
Perfect analogy
@@KawaiiChele .
Yessss
THATS a front man!

mine too they are fantastic . and ive seen some bands in my time . these beats them all ❤
Astonishing, hypnotic performance. He's a force of nature. Don't ever change.
Saw them live yesterday, he hasn't!
Some people never do
He is a pretentious wanker. So are you.
@@longtallshorty5791 It's possible that He is, but how you can tell that I am is less clear. Good luck.
@@james6401 You deserve more likes.
My knees are hurtin just watching this fella.
This guy is gotta be one of the greatest performers of all time.. love him
Such an under-rated song. Fell in love with it from the first time I heard it. Still never get enough of it.
dude it hits an emotional chord in me that very few others songs do, especially from the modem era
underrated in what world? lmao
Powerfully melodic and emotive.
I'd buy this man a pint.
The same with me!👍

Martine Is that David's brother? He have a tv show, also?
he's channeling david brent's disco moves
Genius, alive, fearless, unforgettable, unapologetic - definition of cool and unique. Brilliant.
Sylvia Bravo - Your Words 🙇🏻🙇🏽♀️🙇🏽♂️💯❗️
He's a great rapper too!
@@martinshort1247 hell yes - as Hemlock Ernst.
@@SylvieHill A man of many talents. Genius, as you said.

I was watching the David Letterman show when I first saw these guys I felt the exact same feeling!
They do have the U2 effect...thought the same thing the first time I saw The Walkmen perform at a tiny club with no A/C in Seattle in 2002
I love their music , he certainly puts it all in , superb band .
My biggest discovery in 2022 🎉was finding this band -just superb ❤
Same here 🙏💖
Me in 2023 !!!
This bloke is totally feeling it.
Not sure what he’s feeling.
But he is, and totally.
And for that he has my backing.
I've always thought he's got a psychological condition or something
@@silverbasscross don't we all
Can’t understand half of what he’s saying but he’s cool af and memorable.
I think he's feeling his piles. Horrible singer!
"i BEEN WAITIN' GRRRRRRRRR"
Damn this band won't let me go. Found them like a month ago and I can't stop watching them. I have to see them live.
Seen them yet?
I was introduced to their music 2 days ago. Loving it.
fucking brilliant the lead singer is fucking mental and the guy on bass is just there like fuck my life
pissed myself at the bassist comment
Lol, this is accurate. If you watch the clip when they were on David Letterman, there's the point where the lead is about to go full-demon, and the bassist has an epic look on his face of: ffs, here it comes...
the dance of 3:35 got me fucking crying
ashplaysandlolzords It looks like he's speed skating
bass players always have to maintain a stoic existence. it's the nature of the job.
I can’t get enough of this song. So amazing, and Sam’s performance is genius. I wish the song were longer. I’d love an extended version, it just ends too soon. Fantastic!
This song and the amount of emotion it's performed with brings tears to my eyes 🖤
I'll take all of that you got!
Not only sings the songs but acts out the emotion within them. Absolutely fantastic Group with a style of their own
Hes got his own language
Watching this dude perform makes me so emotional.
Still watching every few months and being moved to tears every time.
Same every time I watch 😢
Sublime. This would totally fly past my radar, but the passion, wild elegance and joyous commitment elevate this to something that just fits anybodys musical taste.
Danny Bonaduce crushing on bass
dude, I read that and busted.
You're an idiot.
🏆
Just love the bass in this tune the tone of it the line makes the song
My fave band since 2015 and still are in 2017. Saw them perform at the Enmore in Sydney on 4th Dec 2017. Absolutely brilliant.

Love this guys commitment to his art. Completely owns it.
Brought New Year's Eve to life!
+Benjamin Outhwaite Yea i watched this on tv on hogmany and you are right after i listen to it i was right in the party mood soooo true mate
This band is AWESOME! And Samuel T Herring, is PURE Genius
This is his executive dance. Please take notice of the gentle toe taps, the slow sweeps and the accompanying silk shirt.
He's really been waiting on you. It's a guttural pain to wait that intensely
once listened to this song for three and half hours on loop - still obsessed.
You will love Wil’s version
I got goosebumps down my neck watching this video, it's like hes telling a story beautiful
I dream of having his confidence. I love this band so much!!!
I bloody love this lad
I'm crying. Man this song just slays me
Same.
Love how he breaks the 4th wall, stared down that camera like it's the one he's been waiting on...... all these changing seasons....... Love It though!
Sam, brother. I hope you know how much we all love ya.
When he tripped, I fucking lost it.
+Maya Magination Great song tho
He ment to trip,,Its part of his stage stuff...Dum Ass Mehcano, stinking badges, holy freholy speedy Gonzales, mouse Woman xxxx
hahah he didn't mean to trip
Music binge with my stepdad is what turned me on to this band, underrated for sure
So in lust with him!! Loved this a year ago and still do now!
Love this song, and the performance!
Letterman performance randomly popped up on my feed. Loved it from first listen. What a performer
First time I ever did P90X plyometrics, it looked exactly like this.
This made my New Years! I cried tears of laughter by 3:36!! The epicness is STRONG in this one!
3 years later and it's still hysterical.
@@VictorRochaGaming 6 years later and never takes a backwards step.
@@Dr.Cunt-. It's official. The song & performance are classics.
8 years on, still memorable.
I watched their first time on Jools holland and it changed my world. That first performance was pure multi discipline talent. He doesnt sing songs, he acts them, theres a difference.
my fav band of 2016
Been waiting for someone to upload this! Thanks, amazing performance 😆
Highlight of New Years Eve. I nearly died laughing.
such an amazing group of musicians ...... so good THANKS!

And if someone breaks up with him i can def see him cuttin them into pieces lol

They've a loyal following that makes every performance feel like a reunion. Looking forward to catching them again when they're back in the US. Lov'em!!

this performance never, ever fails to bring me to tears. Almost masochistic. I fucking LOVE this song so much
I would enjoy making scrambled eggs and toast for Samuel T. Herring but only when he says: CRRRRRRRRRRAVE!!!
this is way more special - the performance - than the music video! Wow this event must've been the most amazing thing to experience! 2014-2016 were great. Sure been waiting on me! :)
