This song was released the day of my husband's funeral. He died of leukemia at the age of 35. He loved Future Islands and this feels like a special song that reflects the day that was in it. Thank you Sam and the boys for it xxx
Karen, my heart goes out to you...how sad... At least you can find a fleeting moment of solace with this song also considering that your husband loved Future Islands (don't we all?)... Rest in power to your Loved One. Melody Fox (aka the Princess of Rock) LPM
I wish I could get to know any one of you. Those who can appreciate this music certainly have a big heart, and I feel have likely been pushed around by this tough world. We may be dispersed geographically/physically, but we are not truly alone. At least that's my hope
Life is the reason I'm still holding ground Life is imperfect bodies and perfect sounds Death is in season, and it's pushing me 'round And 'round and 'round A bottle cap, a rusted crown When one pushes up, the other pulls me down And I don't know if I'll get up, if I'll get out One pushes up, the other pulls me down And I don't know if I'll get up, if I'll get out This one makes you big, in a cruel world This one makes you small, in a lonely world This one takes it all away, all the pain But I'm not giving up Not today, not today There's life in this tunnel, we're just hanging around Please, if you see my hand, just pull me out 'Cause there's death in this tunnel Still hanging on me, still begging on me 'Cause when one pushes up, the other pulls me down And I don't know if I'll get out, if I'll be found This one makes you big, what a cruel world This one makes you small, feel that lonely world This one takes it all the way, but I'll stay 'Cause I won't give you up Not today, I won't I won't give you up ❤️
This came out the same day I admitted to a girl, who I met abroad, that I had feelings for her. She was unlike anyone else I've ever met. It was unrequited, she admitted, but it gave me closure. I'm now trying to do more to better myself, and this song feels monumental in my life. Thank you, Future Islands for such a wonderful gift.
That closure you got from taking that chance, has cleared the path to the right one that’s still out there for you. And now you’ll be brave and bold enough to not miss them! Keep your heart open friend.
4AD. Should have known. An amazing band on the legendary label that gave us This Mortal Coil. I'm coming to Future Islands 5 years late, but better than never. Now I've gotta to listen to their entire catalog because of this one single. How great is that?
Very sad and dark song wrapped in the prettiest and most sweet of wrappings. I remember seeing you guys in Saskatoon. Seeing you in the alley smoking a cigarette. Cheers gentlemen.
I heard this song at Target a couple times and it took me forever to find it. The “this one makes you big this one makes you small” bit was the only lyric I could make out, but searching that just kept giving me White Rabbit.
Been crying all day and I only felt better when I listened to this song. You just need words that reminds you that yes.. this is reality but it doesn't have to be your reality.
This song was published last year on my birthday's date, I was playing it a year ago helping to overcoming all difficulties I was having then. Today I'm playing it again... That's what my life is... A peach orbiting in my mind, rotating in a blue sky
I know this is said often on songs, but I could literally listen to this song on repeat all day. The bass lines, Sam's gentle, pleading vocals, the synth, even the drums are always providing something interesting. I love these singles they put out, they are pretty much all great!
Jeder neu entdeckte Song der Future Islands ist wie die Entdeckung einer neuen Welt, atemberaubend und einzigartig. Verstummen, Verweilen... und sich Verlieren...
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Thank fricken goodness! The best band to make melancholy and pain sound so damn joyful. Thanks again gentleman! NOW COME PLAY CANADA
Pshh wtf would they wanna go to that authoritarian shithole? Land of senseless lockdowns mandates and hyperinflation. I wouldn't be surprised if they asked him to sing with a mask on
A big thank you to Sam and the boys for this one ..A beautiful celebration of life with one eye on that metaphorical tunnel which is waiting for us all but how dark it gets telling the listener that I won't give it up..I love this man and the band who I've seen a few times..If you haven't seen them please please put them in your diary 🙏❤️
Randomly woke up at the crack of dawn, the second this started streaming live. It’s like you guys have mind control! Love the new music, like always. See you guys in Columbus, this fall!! ❤️
Seen Marcus King in St. Louis before his show. Marcus wrote some encouraging words for my friend Mat's son who is learning to play. Gracious humble blessed is Mr. King. God loves music Marcus is proof!
Love this new track. Always remember the night you played in Aberdeen. Best night ever, the venue was bouncing Please try to add this again next year when you visit Scotland
I remember these guys from a small concert in North Carolina back in the early 2000s at a surf shop called The Pit. Their band name was Artlord and the Self Portraits. PINEAPPLE SMILES!!!!
Alice in wonderland ... drink me, take me, big, small... lyrics has me thinking about falling down that rabbit hole.. into that mysterious world that Alice found 🐰🐇🐾🐾🦄🎩👁👄👁👍🏻 great tunes & feels as always.. I live to see your concerts.. one day 😎😁🤩😍

My heart goes out to you. I hope you find your way through this.

❤❤❤ your husband had great taste
I am sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss and i wish you the best.
What a wonderful, unexpected and much needed gift. The world needs more Future Islands right now.
The world always needs more Future Islands
I couldn't agree more
Fuckkkk yeahhhhh
same feels....
Surely oneof the most underated bands ever sheerexcellance always quality
I wish I could get to know any one of you. Those who can appreciate this music certainly have a big heart, and I feel have likely been pushed around by this tough world. We may be dispersed geographically/physically, but we are not truly alone. At least that's my hope
Never alone
Certainly
Keep the head up kid
Hey Edward, big virtual hug from a random heart. Better days ahead for you is my wish.
Edward, Music reunites and keeps us together, even in the darkest moments...

One of the greatest contemporary singing voices...just simply incredible.
He's so talented... His voice carries so many feelings
In the hospital with covid. This song and video brought me some peace. ❤️ ✌️ ❤️
wishing you a speedy recovery!
@@HumanBeingWithFeelings thank you!
We are with you! 🦄
how are you doing?
@@HumanBeingWithFeelings I’m doing good! Out of the hospital and on the mend at home now. Thank you for checking in. ❤️
The world needed this little light right now
I must have listened to hundreds of thousands of songs. Right now. This is the best song I've ever heard.
That intro was killer
Probably the best live act I’ve ever seen and every time at that- he’s a dancing, sweaty whirl of passion
Life is the reason
I'm still holding ground
Life is imperfect bodies and perfect sounds
Death is in season, and it's pushing me 'round
And 'round and 'round
A bottle cap, a rusted crown
When one pushes up, the other pulls me down
And I don't know if I'll get up, if I'll get out
One pushes up, the other pulls me down
And I don't know if I'll get up, if I'll get out
This one makes you big, in a cruel world
This one makes you small, in a lonely world
This one takes it all away, all the pain
But I'm not giving up
Not today, not today
There's life in this tunnel, we're just hanging around
Please, if you see my hand, just pull me out
'Cause there's death in this tunnel
Still hanging on me, still begging on me
'Cause when one pushes up, the other pulls me down
And I don't know if I'll get out, if I'll be found
This one makes you big, what a cruel world
This one makes you small, feel that lonely world
This one takes it all the way, but I'll stay
'Cause I won't give you up
Not today, I won't
I won't give you up
❤️

Keep strong fella. Unrequited is both inevitable, painful, but also makes you stronger.
Big hug man!!!! 💖💖💖 thx for sharing
Thank you both for your lovely comments. Much love to you both!
That closure you got from taking that chance, has cleared the path to the right one that’s still out there for you. And now you’ll be brave and bold enough to not miss them! Keep your heart open friend.
Good stuff dude. Had pretty much the exact experience earlier this year, hope you’re doing better king just as I am after it.
This deserves millions of views! These guys couldn’t put out a bad song if they tried
I could 😏
awebo padrina
I just cant stop dancing
Living for that percussion sound at 1:19!
Literally one of their best songs, so underrated
Literally?
@@nealjohnson8126 name me a better song from them I can crank my push ups to, song is gem
Best song I heard tonight I give u that
Completely agree! Perhaps my favorite of theirs...
Bless you all. Love you all

Sams vocals here are smooth as hot Chocolate!

Nothing like hearing a song in target and being utterly transported
vibes
future islands in target is sweet
I heard this song at Target a couple times and it took me forever to find it. The “this one makes you big this one makes you small” bit was the only lyric I could make out, but searching that just kept giving me White Rabbit.
Been crying all day and I only felt better when I listened to this song. You just need words that reminds you that yes.. this is reality but it doesn't have to be your reality.
Waking up to surprise new Future Islands. What a great way to start the day.
What a great birthday surprise
Happy Birthday From one Future Islands die hard to another !!!
Beautiful song from a beautiful band.
This song was published last year on my birthday's date, I was playing it a year ago helping to overcoming all difficulties I was having then. Today I'm playing it again... That's what my life is... A peach orbiting in my mind, rotating in a blue sky
I hope you are doing better my friend 💪
I’m so happy to hear from you, the synth and all the sounds… how am I to get through without you? I’m so glad to have you.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🤙
Princess Peach.
And we are glad to have you

🍑🍑🍑
You guys trying to hypnotize us with that peach?😂 What a groove😎
I know this is said often on songs, but I could literally listen to this song on repeat all day. The bass lines, Sam's gentle, pleading vocals, the synth, even the drums are always providing something interesting. I love these singles they put out, they are pretty much all great!

Another great song. Keep them coming!
Why does every Future Islands song make me cry????
Seen Marcus King in St. Louis before his show. Marcus wrote some encouraging words for my friend Mat's son who is learning to play. Gracious humble blessed is Mr. King. God loves music Marcus is proof!
Going to see them live in March 2022. First in Utrecht Netherlands and 4 days after in Antwerp Belgium! Can't wait !!
What a band.
Long life to Future Islands 💜
I’m crying, so beautiful

Best mix so far. Like the power kick
This song reminds me of something that Bowie would have had on his last record. That's a great thing!

"When people change, they gain a peach but lose one too" - (Seasons) Future Islands - this is absolute perfection bringing it all full circle for me
Girl, that's not peach. That's "piece".
I just discovered this great band! Love this song!!
I swear Future Islands is the last thing that's still good in this world
love it
I love this song more than life itself
Will we ever get the rumored "Bsides and unreleased tracks" album I was hearing about?
See you in Austin!!
This is wonderful! I was so happy to wake up to new Future Islands ❤️💕💓
Wonderful ♥️
