One guy doesn't know what real music is. Foster the People are amazing... and so is this version of Houdini... wish they come to New Zealand.. I really want to see them live!
Rise above, gonna start the war Oh, what’cha want, what’cha need, what’cha come here for? Well, an eye for an eye and an ‘F’ for fight They’re taking me down as the prisoners riot Got shackles on, my words are tied Fear can make you compromise (With) Lights turned up, it’s hard to hide Sometimes I wanna disappear When I feel kinda bad and don’t want to stress (Just) Pass it off on ability Well, you got what you want, what you never knew (It’s a) Perfect gift from me to you Got shackles on, my words are tied Fear can make you compromise (With) Lights turned up, it’s hard to hide Sometimes I wanna disappear Raise up to your ability (You) Never knew that I could find What comes with the realize I don’t want to compromise Raise up to your ability Can’t stand when I disappear Running around cuz I’m filled with fear I can’t go cuz my life’s a wreck Raise up to your ability I know that you want to Throw me into the sea, for my ability Raise up to your ability Yeah, don’t want to sign it I just wanna leave here But I don’t wanna run away You got to focus on your ability Focus on your ability Gotta focus on your ability Focus on your ability Then they can’t get what they want to steal Can’t get what they want to steal Then they can’t get what they want to steal Can’t get what they want to steal
When this video first started I thought to myself "What is Pontius going to do, drumming would just be too loud for this version." And then when he starts in at :54 it just increased the awesomeness by approximately 250%.
when i heard the original song for 1st time, i didnt like it.. i just thought it was a rubbish..but after i heard it again and again i just keep fallin in love with it..and dis acoustic genre just so amazing...
I just discovered this band on youtube, so I don't know much about them. After listening to a couple of songs, I definitely like the acoustic stuff way better. It's good stuff. The cd versions of these songs are kinda tough to listen to, but these bing lounge songs are great!
Rise above gonna start a war Whatcha want whatcha need whatcha come here for Well an eye for an eye and an F for fight Takin' me down is a prisoners right Got shackles on my wings on tight Beggin' makin' compromise Fast enough it's hard to hide Sometimes I want to disappear When I feel good I play under warm distress Pass it up on a better day Well you got whatcha want you never knew Perfect gift from me to you Yeah yeah yeah Got shackles on my wings on tight Beggin' makin' compromise Fast enough it's hard to hide Sometimes I want to disappear You never knew what I could find What could come when we realize Don't no one want to compromise Yeah I'm scared but I'll disappear Runnin' around before I'll come with you Like he's from an I know that you wanna 'Cause it was easy to see Of my ability Yeah you're undecided Yeah so I can see it Yeah I'm gonna wipe your mind Focus on your ability Focus on your ability Now focus on your ability Focus on your ability Gain again what they want to steal Gain again what they want to steal Gonna gain again what they want to steal Gain again what they want to steal

No one would give you shit if you're proud of it and you don't make it seem like a bad thing. Lying makes you look pathetic and sad. If you can't respect yourself, how do you expect others to respect you. I'm glad you expressed it though, its a start to a happier life for you.
I am because I just heard these guys (obviously super late to the party) and my god, their acoustic sets are incredible. I love that he finger picks this song. It's freakin awesome.
Am I the only one who noticed Ponsi and Cubbie kept looking over at Mark? Especially Cubbie, he looked over at him repeatedly and smiled, was this like the first time they played the acoustic version of Houdini or something?
@fazidah1991 that happened to me!!! i call it "the foster affect" you listen to 1 of their songs and probably don't like it at first then you hear it over and over again and the song becomes sooooo awesome:)
I freaking love Mark Foster's voice!! He's definitely one of the best singers I have ever heard!!
FTPLOVE Forever Thank you! Merry Christmas to you also! :-)
Very high voice, maybe not one of the best but it's a good singing voice!
He has a very attractive high voice, but wouldn't say it's one of the best! Just my opinion....it's great though!
his voice is like....there are no words...he's perfect
One guy doesn't know what real music is. Foster the People are amazing... and so is this version of Houdini... wish they come to New Zealand.. I really want to see them live!
I can finally understand what he's saying through the whole song haha, love this version.
Rise above, gonna start the war
Oh, what’cha want, what’cha need, what’cha come here for?
Well, an eye for an eye and an ‘F’ for fight
They’re taking me down as the prisoners riot
Got shackles on, my words are tied
Fear can make you compromise
(With) Lights turned up, it’s hard to hide
Sometimes I wanna disappear
When I feel kinda bad and don’t want to stress
(Just) Pass it off on ability
Well, you got what you want, what you never knew
(It’s a) Perfect gift from me to you
Got shackles on, my words are tied
Fear can make you compromise
(With) Lights turned up, it’s hard to hide
Sometimes I wanna disappear
Raise up to your ability
(You) Never knew that I could find
What comes with the realize
I don’t want to compromise
Raise up to your ability
Can’t stand when I disappear
Running around cuz I’m filled with fear
I can’t go cuz my life’s a wreck
Raise up to your ability
I know that you want to
Throw me into the sea, for my ability
Raise up to your ability
Yeah, don’t want to sign it
I just wanna leave here
But I don’t wanna run away
You got to focus on your ability
Focus on your ability
Gotta focus on your ability
Focus on your ability
Then they can’t get what they want to steal
Can’t get what they want to steal
Then they can’t get what they want to steal
Can’t get what they want to steal
really love this song. Long live to Foster the People.
His voice😭 I love foster the people
When this video first started I thought to myself "What is Pontius going to do, drumming would just be too loud for this version." And then when he starts in at :54 it just increased the awesomeness by approximately 250%.

ponsi is such a cutie when playing the drums. his facial expressions are so cute!!
Искра?! Totally Awesome!
Totally! I'd buy it in a heart beat
this is chilling in the good way.
This makes you appreciate the recorded studio version a lot why because they both extenuate each other and compliment one another.
2021 and still amazing
Rise above gonna start a war
Whatcha want whatcha need whatcha come here for
Well an eye for an eye and an F for fight
Takin' me down is a prisoners right

Sometimes I want to disappear
When I feel good I play under warm distress
Pass it up on a better day
Well you got whatcha want you never knew
Perfect gift from me to you
Yeah yeah yeah
Got shackles on my wings on tight
Beggin' makin' compromise
Fast enough it's hard to hide
Sometimes I want to disappear
You never knew what I could find
What could come when we realize
Don't no one want to compromise
Yeah I'm scared but I'll disappear
Runnin' around before I'll come with you
Like he's from an
I know that you wanna
'Cause it was easy to see
Of my ability

I can't understand why they use so many effects. He has such a pure, beautiful voice.
Hopefully someone can post the official lyrics somewhere as the ones featured on search results either don’t match or make sense. Went through a whole afternoon cross-examining acoustic covers and live shows to compile the hopefully accurate lyrics of my 2nd fav FTP song.
very unique voice!
This song is burned into my brain.
