This song always puts me in an extremely deep trance and sometimes it even makes me cry because it puts me in a certain "headspace". I've been a fan since the beggining and there music gets better and better with each album. This is one of their best songs, jeez I love them so much.
This song is about growing up and realizing that your surroundings change with age. The knowledge you gain with time contradicts the truth you believed as a kid or while you were younger. It's about trying to make sense of your surroundings despite the many challenges that come with life. Thats what i got from it anyway
rocco stoney I think you’re right on the money. It provokes existential thought and allows the listener to ride a wave of emotion. I believe it’s about our place in the universe and how confused we are in this current period of time. How we live for material wealth without a care for our planet. It’s almost a cry for “what’s the answer, why can’t we understand”. What is life and why are we consciously perceiving the universe in the way we do. “Chasing a memory” being our eventual death and all the questions we regarded as important. The deep blue sea being our reality and the nuance of it.
Deeper than that, it's about mortality. "Now our parents are long departed, who can finish the songs they started? Bodies are broken, but it's just a token of what is surely to come. Unstitch the suture, please pause the future, so I can collect my things. The fire is coming but we'll outrun it, we'll never be undone." Those lines are a poignant gut punch of truth. You never know how much time you have left, whether it's decades, years, hours, or even minutes.
This song is really special, sums up all the record in such a beautiful and unique way. And leaves you a sensation of ease and at the same time a big rush that comes when you suddenly find yourself drowning in the middle of a flood. All this so connected with motions (the back and forth, the coming and going of everything) this time well represented with water waves and underwater footage. In the end the idea of constant movement: the need of destruction for renew, and the start to an end, is necessary to become an non-stopping force never willing to stay still. That why i love this song, reminds me that, we're a more than matter, we're this constant never stopping move, as sea waves.
Foolish Knight haters gonna hate.... I'm open to ALL music. But as a child who grew in the 90's I see the new generations with their Reggaeton and I'm scared of the future of my childs
This magical song made me run out of the bus with tears when I firstly heard it (in 2016). 'Cause the lyrics and voice goes straight to the soul. The video is perfect too
I can't even explain everything this video is making me feel right now. It's otherworldly. I've never seen something that looked so much like what I dream on a regular basis. This is what you would see in my mind if I pulled you into my head while I sleep. My heart is racing so fast. How could this visual and lyrical perfection exist? Deja vu at it's finest. It's incredible.
I come back here every once in a while to disconnect myself of everything. I feel like screaming, crying, jumping and be really still and just go with the flow, all at the same time. My mind goes back to the time I experienced this song live, it was really freaking amazing. It really does help to ease the worries of these uncertain times. Stay safe and healthy, everyone
I’m new to the Foals hooked when I saw Neptune first time I ever heard their music. This song has to be my second favourite. So surprised to hear music like this today. These songs are so good.
Vous tous Francais avez un bon gout si vous les kiffe. Je les ai vu au Bataclan il y a une semaine, ils joue cet morceau la et j'etais en gros larmes, putain. Ces sont le meilleur group Anglais en ce moment, et ils me font fier d'etre Anglais!
When I come to walk the line The fire may come, but we'll be just fine When I go to walk the line The fire it will come but we'll be just fine Mouth of the ocean be well spoken Watch your [[P]]'s & [[Q]]'s Now that we're older the future is colder But what is there to do? I'll walk the line I'll be just fine I'll be right back on time The fire is coming but we'll outrun it We'll never be undone What came of the things we once believed? Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea Oh, what came of the things we once believed? Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea And now our parents are long departed Who can finish the songs they started? Bodies are broken but its just a token Of what is surely to come Unstitch the suture Please pause the future so I can collect my things The fire is coming but we'll outrun it We'll never be undone What came of the things we once believed? Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea Oh, what came of the things we once believed? Oh all, lost to the depths of a hungry sea When I go to walk the line The fire it comes but I'll be just fine What came of the things we once believed? Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea All lost to All lost to the depths of a hungry sea Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea All that's left All that's left Is the eco of a roaring sea Long gone Long gone To the trace of a memory Oh, what came of the things I once believed? All that's left All that is left Is the trace of a memory
Spent all weekend at Leeds Fest and heard nothing that comes close to the sound of the Foals - they are amazing and I only discovered them on Thursday - a new foal is born.
This is for sure the best song I've ever heard in my life. So disappointed with myself to have discovered this band so late. Foals, I love every of your songs, but this one is pure heroine! Love from Italy!
Jake Sharp he kicks arse. I just scroll through his website to look at the shit he's done and I can't pick one out I don't like. Not to mention the variance of them
This is quite psychedelic... It resonates with my feelings and reminds me about one deeply disturbing vision, which core experience was fading, withering. The inexorability of time paired with cruelty of the world. The childhood becoming more and more distant, so distant, that I can no longer remember some things. And it's all inavitable.
There are few especially current songs that resonate with me and this one did when I first heard it on Pandora. I cranked it up immediately and just listened. Sometimes there are songs that just make you listen and this is surely one of those songs. So thanks pandora radio and thank you foals for making gorgeous meaningful rock n roll. Keep on keeping on🤘🏻
To me, the biggest masterpieces from each Foals album's are: 1 Black gold 2 Knife in the ocean 3 Milk & black spiders 4Red socks pugie Its my opinion, but I know that all they songs are pretty great.
Simply breath-taking. Wonderful song. I don't care about the trash in the charts, this is just one of the best songs in like ever, not many tracks can compare at such a level, and the music video is simply marvellous.
I found myself swaying back and forth watching this video. Kind of mesmerizing. Not talking about the song itself, which is totally epic. I don't know why, but I hear something "Pink Floydish" in the sound. Love it.
WOW It has just appeared in the credits of a daily news show here in Brazil, I was really amazed by the song itself, and now that! Can't wait for the concert.
I am sure, you will never make the song more coll than Knife. When i lissened it first time i was shured - the human could'n make this song. It was not a human song. I was shocked. Many years passed by i love this song as heavy as first day i lissened it. Thank you for this music!
this song puts me in such a deep mood of good melancholy remembering their performance 4 days ago at the out of the woods festival. foals are killing it live!
Still a fucking amazing song. When I first started listening to Foals I’d listen to WWD a lot and SCREAM the end of this song in the middle of nowhere with headphones on. I probably sounded insane but fuck it’s just that kind of song. You can feel it spilling out of you. Such an aggressive, dark and epic closer. Possibly my favourite Foals song next to Black Gold.
Mine best far away. Can't describe the feeling I had listenning to it when i was on a ship crossing aegean sea to mediterranean from bodrum. After a terrible storm, that beautiful clouds and the sunshine through them.
I liked this song when I listened to it on the album, but it wasn't a stand out to me. Then I saw them live and HOLY FUCK. It was like the whole crowd was hypnotised. Now my favourite Foals song, and these visuals go perfectly with it.
Ernie Banks I definitely see your point, having listened to the Death Cab song, but both beats are pretty much just variations of the Purdie Shuffle, so if anything, credit to Bernard Purdie for adding a cool drum beat to so many good songs :D
I have never been this excited for an album to be released! I love how their is variety among the tracks and I can't wait to see how it all fits together as what will, probably, be a very cohesive album!
If anyone was wondering, the first footage in the video of all the large rocks in the ocean is looking towards Cannon Beach Oregon from Ecola state park :)

Long time Foals fan. This track is the track I would play if someone said I had to choose one track that best represented them. Wondrous stuff.
Every foals song is a spiritual experience
Michał Piskorski I hear that!
Michał Piskorski Saw this video and listened to this song for the first time while incredibly high. It was mystical ;)
Michał Piskorski I agree!
+Michał Piskorski Wow, you just nailed it with comment. Couldn't agree more
+Michał Piskorski Perfect comment. And this song, specifically, says a lot about spirituality.
The drums really nailed the structure and rhythm of the sea swell and waves cycle
Indeed!
Let's all appreciate the fact that most of the Foals' songs are over 5 or 6 minutes long. They are amazing musicians.
foals you keep me alive on this fucking earth, thank you.
This post needs more likes.
Maciej Skerka trzymaj się chłopie :v
+Maciej Skerka I feel you!
mnie też ;)
+Maciej Skerka I wouldn't worry about being alive too much longer unless you are prepared.
I notice the artistic ability that the drummer adds in in many of their songs. The guitar/Bass work is sublime for sure.
This song always puts me in an extremely deep trance and sometimes it even makes me cry because it puts me in a certain "headspace". I've been a fan since the beggining and there music gets better and better with each album. This is one of their best songs, jeez I love them so much.
yess!
Same here sister! 💭💭💭💭
asia3pea90 no more weeds for today, just look & listen
What went down has to be my absolute favorite though... I love this one too.
Listen to: La femme - vague , thank me later ;)
Best band on the planet
Seriously the imagery and visuals of this are insane. INSANE
Hell yes lol I was high as a kite watching lol damn good
+Zoe TheGreat absolutely agree!!
... And Neptune!
I mean, i understand there's a lot of different music tastes, but, How can you dislike this masterpiece? I will never get it.
This song is about growing up and realizing that your surroundings change with age. The knowledge you gain with time contradicts the truth you believed as a kid or while you were younger. It's about trying to make sense of your surroundings despite the many challenges that come with life. Thats what i got from it anyway
Life experiences pour out on a track heart of a true band enjoy what they do making kick ass poetry I agree with you
the new world order

I feel ya bro. Beautifully written!
everytime i listen to this i get hypnotized lmao. this song+video has been helping me deal with anxiety & panic attacks. I LOVE FOALS SO MUCH
yh same! its makes me relaxed too:D
Thank you for this song. It's so sad and beautiful at once. Makes me cry everytime
Gives me chills, like so, so many songs by Foals. Simply the best, always and forever.
words can't express how much I love this song
Please never stop doing music!!!! You guys are the hope that music still has a future!!
Omar Saro I hate people like you. You making sweeping generalisations, are the people that suppress musics future. Its so ironic.
Foolish Knight you just made a sweeping generalization.
Foolish Knight haters gonna hate.... I'm open to ALL music. But as a child who grew in the 90's I see the new generations with their Reggaeton and I'm scared of the future of my childs
This magical song made me run out of the bus with tears when I firstly heard it (in 2016). 'Cause the lyrics and voice goes straight to the soul. The video is perfect too

Stay safe and healthy, everyone
my heart hurts when i listen this music, so magic and sad
This 'Lyric Video' is more inspiring than any full-on music video I've seen this year
This song will always be special to me
Ok seriously tho, this might be their best song to date.
yh ikr
2 trees
it is such a impressive song....
I’m new to the Foals hooked when I saw Neptune first time I ever heard their music. This song has to be my second favourite. So surprised to hear music like this today. These songs are so good.
The only one that stays in my top 5. This and perhaps Albatross
Un groupe à voir en live c'est de la folie pure ! la bise aux français qui ont la bonne idée d'écouter foals ! ;)
Je confirme en live c'est juste un truc de fou 👍🏻
Ces't la vree
Vous tous Francais avez un bon gout si vous les kiffe. Je les ai vu au Bataclan il y a une semaine, ils joue cet morceau la et j'etais en gros larmes, putain.
Ces sont le meilleur group Anglais en ce moment, et ils me font fier d'etre Anglais!
Foals have come back with such a great album and all of the songs are amazing, I don't dislike one of them, I love them
When I come to walk the line
The fire may come, but we'll be just fine
When I go to walk the line
The fire it will come but we'll be just fine
Mouth of the ocean be well spoken
Watch your [[P]]'s & [[Q]]'s
Now that we're older the future is colder
But what is there to do?
I'll walk the line I'll be just fine
I'll be right back on time
The fire is coming but we'll outrun it
We'll never be undone
What came of the things we once believed?
Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea
Oh, what came of the things we once believed?
Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea
And now our parents are long departed
Who can finish the songs they started?
Bodies are broken but its just a token
Of what is surely to come
Unstitch the suture
Please pause the future so I can collect my things
The fire is coming but we'll outrun it
We'll never be undone
What came of the things we once believed?
Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea
Oh, what came of the things we once believed?
Oh all, lost to the depths of a hungry sea
When I go to walk the line
The fire it comes but I'll be just fine
What came of the things we once believed?
Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea
All lost to
All lost to the depths of a hungry sea
Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea
All that's left
All that's left
Is the eco of a roaring sea
Long gone
Long gone
To the trace of a memory
Oh, what came of the things I once believed?
All that's left
All that is left
Is the trace of a memory
That drum line though....and the bass line. Big....It’s like heaven and hell have converged on the Earth and the Seas.
so true......you have put in words....so rightly.....
Spent all weekend at Leeds Fest and heard nothing that comes close to the sound of the Foals - they are amazing and I only discovered them on Thursday - a new foal is born.
I keep coming back to this. This is so pure, thank you for making this.
Foals touch dark souls
In every part of world.
This is the song I listen to the most
after 4:34 it just transcends into another dimension. soooo good
~goosebumps~
it keeps getting better and better with each new song!!!
so many good albums coming at me at once..foals x ambassadors and nothing but thieves
Lola Lale-Klasicki What about Beach House and DIIV ?!
Lola Lale-Klasicki What about Mac DeMarco ?
Lola Lale-Klasicki One Direction?
Arío Rojas i'll check them out..not heard of them :)
Quentin Quent haven't heard of them i'll check them out :)
i don't understand how such a band can cumulate a multitude songs so brillant, so strong, so perfect..
This is for sure the best song I've ever heard in my life. So disappointed with myself to have discovered this band so late. Foals, I love every of your songs, but this one is pure heroine! Love from Italy!
Better late than never, ragazzo ;)
A song that makes you wanna lie down on some heights and watch the whole world collapse.
Dudesnext we all gonna die, man
Yep.
i perfectly agree with your feeling !!
Just buy 10$ worth of magic mushrooms, does better, it's cheaper and lasts longer than a cinema ticket.
@@petitkus4408 I agree with this one
Leif podhajsky is such a genius
Jake Sharp he kicks arse. I just scroll through his website to look at the shit he's done and I can't pick one out I don't like. Not to mention the variance of them
I love his work! Had no idea he did music videos as well. I had to check him out after I started listening to Tame Impala!
+Jake Sharp thx
+Jess Lovejoy great choice
+Leif Podhajsky thank you damn good video watch it high as a kite I was flying lol
jammin it since the release date. Still one of the best songs I'd ever heard. the goosebumps are there, incredible experience.
Hell yes I play it loud riding on the freeway
I'm here in the March 2020 quarantine, I am afraid, I suffer anxiety and all this is causing me an attack. But this song is helping me. Thanks foals
This is quite psychedelic... It resonates with my feelings and reminds me about one deeply disturbing vision, which core experience was fading, withering. The inexorability of time paired with cruelty of the world. The childhood becoming more and more distant, so distant, that I can no longer remember some things. And it's all inavitable.
Monumental.
truly it is....it hits deeply....so emotional...
There are few especially current songs that resonate with me and this one did when I first heard it on Pandora. I cranked it up immediately and just listened. Sometimes there are songs that just make you listen and this is surely one of those songs. So thanks pandora radio and thank you foals for making gorgeous meaningful rock n roll. Keep on keeping on🤘🏻
Vraiment vraiment VRAIMENT incroyable ce morceau 😱♥️
Embarquement immédiat 🥰
Grave mais quel voix et quel sacré Poumons de Yanis bordel!!!!!!!!
¡Monumental! Se me erizo la piel al oírla, cada vez mas me emociono por el album!!
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Gran trabajo hombre!!!!!!!
Everytime i hit the ebb of sound and song, the flow of bands like foals brings me back to sonorous shore.
To me, the biggest masterpieces from each Foals album's are:
1 Black gold
2 Knife in the ocean
3 Milk & black spiders
4Red socks pugie
Its my opinion, but I know that all they songs are pretty great.
Red Socks Pugie is like my all time #1 from them.
*birch tree
quien? quien te pregunto? jajajjajaja
I just learned how to play milk & black spiders on drums and it’s fun as hell to play. And the song itself is pretty epic in my opinion.
so true
It's a masterpiece. It will be.
Beuatiful closing track
I really love how long their songs are; true musicianship.
This video was shot in my hometown !!❤❤ these guys are out of this world🌟
Really bro? That's cool :3
where is it???
+Dan Mills Not sure about the rest but I know the scenes with the huge rocks in the water is Cannon Beach Oregon
this song keeps ringing in my head for 3 weeks straight and it never gets so frustrating. love love love it! loving this song really much!
Drum beat is a reverse purdie shuffle, sounds so crisp and clean!
I cant get over how perfect the sound and quality of thier songs are....how could you not love this band and be into indie rock
This song is unique.
Simply breath-taking. Wonderful song. I don't care about the trash in the charts, this is just one of the best songs in like ever, not many tracks can compare at such a level, and the music video is simply marvellous.
Um Hino!!!! valeu FOALS pelo legado!!! a musica verdadeira resiste!
Dido ! I Love You Foals
This song is perfect.
I found myself swaying back and forth watching this video. Kind of mesmerizing. Not talking about the song itself, which is totally epic. I don't know why, but I hear something "Pink Floydish" in the sound. Love it.
WOW It has just appeared in the credits of a daily news show here in Brazil, I was really amazed by the song itself, and now that! Can't wait for the concert.
Three new songs are perfect. Give us already this GODDAMN ALBUM!
Thank u Foals, for be part of my life..
favourite foals song of all time, no questions
This is seriously amazing. What a superb song and combination of visuals. I'm blown away.
i've met Yannis last week after their concert at Summer Well Romania. They were f***ing awesome ! One of my fav bands
Nothing sounds at the same way since I discovered Foals !
I am sure, you will never make the song more coll than Knife. When i lissened it first time i was shured - the human could'n make this song. It was not a human song. I was shocked. Many years passed by i love this song as heavy as first day i lissened it.
Thank you for this music!
Progressive goosebumps. Yanis' voice really is fantastic.
this song puts me in such a deep mood of good melancholy remembering their performance 4 days ago at the out of the woods festival.
foals are killing it live!
Its been like the 70th time i replay the song, awesome i can't wait to see them in person.
jotdoj did you ever get the chance? Seeing them in May. Unreal live
Still a fucking amazing song. When I first started listening to Foals I’d listen to WWD a lot and SCREAM the end of this song in the middle of nowhere with headphones on. I probably sounded insane but fuck it’s just that kind of song. You can feel it spilling out of you. Such an aggressive, dark and epic closer. Possibly my favourite Foals song next to Black Gold.
One of my all time fave snowboarding songs..bloody love it!
Mine best far away.
Can't describe the feeling I had listenning to it when i was on a ship crossing aegean sea to mediterranean from bodrum. After a terrible storm, that beautiful clouds and the sunshine through them.
Omg this song is SO beautiful like every foals song! I would really go up to a mountain,just lay down and listen to this song looking at the sky 😍
I liked this song when I listened to it on the album, but it wasn't a stand out to me. Then I saw them live and HOLY FUCK. It was like the whole crowd was hypnotised. Now my favourite Foals song, and these visuals go perfectly with it.
The videoclip is an immersive and refreshing experience. The song does a great job and the return of the guitars are great news.
oh, Im digging this! I feel the change in music happening. shades of the 60s- deep, great drums, guitar, vocal. Im loving this!
I like what drummer does here
Shidorki it´s a ripoff of a Death Cab For Cutie song called Grapevine Fires, totally a plagiarism.
Ernie Banks I dont give a damn about plagiarism, whole music stands on it by now, Times like that.
Ernie Banks I definitely see your point, having listened to the Death Cab song, but both beats are pretty much just variations of the Purdie Shuffle, so if anything, credit to Bernard Purdie for adding a cool drum beat to so many good songs :D
Ernie Banks such an ignorant comment. it's a variation of the purdie shuffle which has been used in many songs.
Purdie shuffle. if you think it's a rip of any pop song check out led zeppelin fool in the rain from 1979...
Layers of images well thought out. Work of art.
this song often makes me cry. and the video is incredible. now after I've watched it I love this song even more than I had
That voice is a WOW and the music does not lack either!
Sensational
I have never been this excited for an album to be released! I love how their is variety among the tracks and I can't wait to see how it all fits together as what will, probably, be a very cohesive album!
This video....the sea and rocks............I feel the tides and rythm in all their music.
A little sceptical with the first two songs. But this is the foals I fell in love with.
If anyone was wondering, the first footage in the video of all the large rocks in the ocean is looking towards Cannon Beach Oregon from Ecola state park :)
Amazing track
New Spanish Sahara?
Ivan Malek Not even close
Closer than anything so far
KlockalockaDD I would say it's closest to Milk and Black Spiders cctv version.
I think the song stands on it's own w/o needing to identify to past tracks. Just my thought.
+Led Balloon In which way ?
Let it take you into the realm it deserves
best band out there. this album is superb
Yet more from these guys!They are so good! I just love them!Paul Angeloni.
Everything about this is pure art
Great song and boy do they play it good live if not better (;;
Holly shit, I just love how this band has evolved I mean I love the old album and the second one too, but this, this is perfection
Hermosa, hermosa canción. Sonido, arreglos, efectos atmosféricos. Letra
I feel like this song is about what Dolores Cannon calls the volunteers 💙✨🌟🌍
Damn I love the visuals in this video
This song makes me cry, sometimes, thinking about my ancestor's and their hardships that ultimately brought them and eventually me 'here'.
Insane masterpiece, love u Foals so much!!!
