Sam to me, explains the lives of musicians. That sometimes they're gone for so long and on tour, that by the time they make it home, their lover has moved on or has just lost hope for them. So it's like he's saying being a musician doesn't mean you get all the perks, there are consequences... Thank you Future Islands for creating such thoughtful music!
There are always consequences to following your passion, so passionately, you will naturally leave some others behind, but you must go forth. "It's ok to be someone nobody else understands"
Jesus fucking Christ on a bicycle please never, for the rest of your days, use the word “lover” ever EVER again. My fingers feel dirty typing the word and my eyes itch reading it. I’m afraid you’ve brought great shame on yourself and your children and your childrens children you awful cancelled horror!
Yeah but this actually happened to him. Hes the guy. I saw an interview with him talking about it. Yeah this could happen to anyone. People are shitty.
This shows you can take anything negative and transmute it in to something positive for yourself and others. This song is a prime example of this. Sam and Future Islands are amazing. .
I can't listen or watch this without thinking of the Greasers in Japan... Or my last trip to Japan (2019), I coincidenallty found out about this song/group just a few months before. It's emotional and special to me.
Amazing song and story. Great song about resilience. Can relate-eyes are the windows to our souls- they can't lie, and our body has tells, and you feel the air around you is off...their voice- hesitation where there wasn't before... in your gut. It's broken...unfixable.. no going back after betrayal. But each day you feel so much more invincible afterwards...because you knew it was an illusion or a season. They change, come and go. Love this band so much. You are masters of the heart.
@@firstname7769 Thank you. Yes, I have watched everything that I can possibly find, I've seen a performance video from awhile back.. blown away!! 🤩 Update: Finally found performance. Epic!!! 😍
@@Sogonrei here’s the link to it ruclips.net/video/kSDVjrljdUg/видео.html Or you can search ‘Future Islands perform at Amoeba’ Enjoy!! Long flight is still my fav song from the whole set.
I got back from a long flight You said you'd meet me there I've been tripping off constellations and stars I found you at home, what was our home With another man, oh man Been keeping you in my heart And so I whispered into your ear "What are you thinking about?" You just looked up at the stars And so I whispered into your ear "Who are you thinking about?" It couldn't be me You can't look me in my eyes anymore Without the rivers to tend Because you remember our love was true But you just needed a hand And you can't look me in my eyes anymore Without yourself to defend You know you hurt me so bad Just 'cause you needed a hand And I went off and saw things I've never seen I really wanted you there But you ruined what was love Just 'cause you needed a hand Just 'cause you needed a hand This is the way that it all falls This is how I feel This is what I need You, by me, right here, by me Right now And so I whispered into your ear "What are you thinking about?" You just looked up at the stars And so I whispered into your ear "Who are you thinking about?" It couldn't be me You can't look me in my eyes anymore Without the rivers to tend 'Cause you remember our love was true But you just needed a hand And you can't look me in my eyes anymore Without yourself to defend You know you hurt me so bad Just 'cause you needed a hand And I went off and saw things I've never seen I really wanted you there But you ruined what was love Just 'cause you needed a hand Just 'cause you needed a hand
I had the privilege of seeing them live back in 2012 at a small pub and it was amazing! I saw them back before they got a drummer when Sam Herring had this Gravitas and Passion in his performance.
I lived this song.. :( came back from back from Amsterdam and i found her home or was it home.. with another man, it couldn't be me, this is such a beautiful song
That would be amazing. I wish motorama would come to america. Also check my band out we get compared to motorama alot ruclips.net/video/8sFp7GezWQc/видео.html
I love the music for the Future Islands. They r awesome. The frontman of the band is very nrgetic n intelligent. U can tell he loves his music bc of the way he sings the songs n dances to them. Great job on the band, too. Awesome!!
This song is so close to his older music style, they have evolved so much, so much wonderful passion in his voice. They should make a death metal screaming album ❤
Looks like a few of them had only popped in to pick up a beautiful South CD But this, as it should do, is something that will stay in their memory for quite a while... Epic...
honestly feels like my last relationship..i felt that she was cheating..ik she was but scared to tell me..but this song came on the day when i told i didn't love her anymore..crazy coincidence
I enjoy this song so much it's just that the lyrics they're so sad and I want to know the full story behind this. Sadly I went through a somewhat similar story.... except I stayed while she went on a "flight" When she came back she ended things and was actually gonna move back to where she was because she found someone else
I just figured out that he might actually be saying his book bag. Maybe a friend of theirs or someone from the venue named Kyle Mathison being asked to bring his book bag up to the stage. He might need something from it.
If you search Future Island Playing at the Amoeba 2010, you’ll hear the name Kyle Mathison at the end of the video. I think he’s part of their production crew…
+Lieke Galbraith i agree but of all the bands ive seen live, i can imagine standing still with future islands. the band is great but this dude (Herring) is fucking hypnotizing when he performs. i would be mesmerized
+Terence O'Kane When I saw him in London everyone was going mental the whole way through. Was epic, possibly upstaged the Pixies who had started as FI finished.

Pretty fuct up they love you for your heart mind and art but when you work 24_7 producing more and more and then work to scale it whether through merch and touring they turn around and try to destroy what they thought was there's. We are not possessions girls boys. We are humans also. Probably the main reason I dont play out anymore because of the love for my kids and the fact I couldnt live if they were to be taken away. I love. my wife but I'm quite certain her lack of response to all the songs I've written as opposed to her response before we were a couple she'd most likely out of spite find and use as a way out, but the road I chose.
12 years later still love this song ❤️❤️
I can't get enough of this. The bass is orgasmic. Sam is fucking owning it, too. The synth. The black and white. The close ups. Come on.
Have u seen the dancing elvis video that is the video to the song? Omg AS AWESOME AS THE SO G....2 watch is to be happy and JUST DANCE ♡
Michelle Wilkes-mdeezeer I don't think I have! Thanks for the tip, I will surely check it out. JUST DANCE YES :-)
i know right! this version of the song is way better tnat the original, Sam is a fuckin' animal while singing!
What an amazing performance. This is my favorite song by them and this live version is even better than the recorded one!

Check out Autumn to Ashes, Long Decision
Yeah but this actually happened to him. Hes the guy. I saw an interview with him talking about it. Yeah this could happen to anyone. People are shitty.
4:23 is like a vocal Marcel Marceau. How he transitioned from growling to smooth was crazy
This shows you can take anything negative and transmute it in to something positive for yourself and others. This song is a prime example of this. Sam and Future Islands are amazing. .
I feel an incredible sense of being when I listen to this.

OMG you guys are freakin sick man, love this band don’t ever stop making music
Those 16th notes on the bass are such a flex.
I got back from a long flight
You said you'd meet me there

Incredible if true
It’s true. I saw them in Dallas at “The Prophet” bar.
I lived this song.. :( came back from back from Amsterdam and i found her home or was it home.. with another man, it couldn't be me, this is such a beautiful song
james burton same here except I was the one that stayed and she was The one that found another love
Love everything about this performance.
4:34 god fucking damn it
Kid Galahad yes indeed
Watch Beach Foam from this setlist. Fucking epic.
it's cuz you needed a hand
Seeing them do this live, one of the greatest moments of my life.
Love this singer!!!
my dream concert is future islands and motorama
Eloy Hurtado Bermudez I wouldn’t stop crying for like a month afterwards.
That would be amazing. I wish motorama would come to america. Also check my band out we get compared to motorama alot ruclips.net/video/8sFp7GezWQc/видео.html

Still gives me chills!!🤘
This song is so close to his older music style, they have evolved so much, so much wonderful passion in his voice. They should make a death metal screaming album ❤
Do not know what happened to it ---a truly great gig!!! Try sending them the question.
Dang vocalist is a real artist. Great performance on all instruments too.
Looks like a few of them had only popped in to pick up a beautiful South CD
But this, as it should do, is something that will stay in their memory for quite a while... Epic...
My God, you guys are incredible.
they sound really really good live
cant wait for Beach Goth! Traveling all the way from The Netherlands
What an unbelievable tune.
I've been tripping off constellations and stars
Great band!
Greatest band of all time
Laugh

wow. i need to see them live.
honestly feels like my last relationship..i felt that she was cheating..ik she was but scared to tell me..but this song came on the day when i told i didn't love her anymore..crazy coincidence
dope vid
More fyah!
subbed brav
BASED
Wow that was intense! Probably one of the best performances I've seen. So much passion I feel offended because I feel I've been cheated on?..
I enjoy this song so much it's just that the lyrics they're so sad and I want to know the full story behind this. Sadly I went through a somewhat similar story.... except I stayed while she went on a "flight" When she came back she ended things and was actually gonna move back to where she was because she found someone else
Incredible if true
4:40 , shit gets real.
This is so fu***ng great!
im assuming Kyle Mathison is the guy who his girl cheated with? Give him his book dawg
Always thought he said Karl Marx :-)
I just figured out that he might actually be saying his book bag. Maybe a friend of theirs or someone from the venue named Kyle Mathison being asked to bring his book bag up to the stage. He might need something from it.
If you search Future Island Playing at the Amoeba 2010, you’ll hear the name Kyle Mathison at the end of the video. I think he’s part of their production crew…
To this day I wonder if Kyle returned his book after he was also cheated on by that same cold woman 🤔
It’s someone in the production crew
Alright
Give him his book back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooo
Masterpiece
long flight i love it
Ich glaube der Sänger weiß gar nicht was er für eine geile Stimme hat. Einfach echt krass. Aber auch geiler Sound.
killed it.
At the beginning of the song each one could surprise himself thinking: It' won't get improve enough, but suddenly everything changes
Good
was here
6 Star rating!!! ****** omg
hi jam! 7:18pm 30.04.2023
How can you stand still?!
+Lieke Galbraith i agree but of all the bands ive seen live, i can imagine standing still with future islands. the band is great but this dude (Herring) is fucking hypnotizing when he performs. i would be mesmerized
+Terence O'Kane When I saw him in London everyone was going mental the whole way through. Was epic, possibly upstaged the Pixies who had started as FI finished.
Exactlyyyy, that's what I was thinking
Wow
love it 2:11pm 10.03.2023
✌
It's Marlon Brando.
This is the most boring crowd for such a sick performance
yeah, like get out of it if you are not feeling it... Instead, always that I get a chance to see this record of that performance I got the goosebumps~
OH MAN..
God, these people didn't fucking deserve this. I would have been going fucking nuts. So fortunate to have seen them live.
fucking great
That chick fricking blew it!!!!
Shit, I wish I could've been there.
Thank you
I got back from a long flight,
You said you'd meet me there,
I've been tripping off constellations and stars.
I found you at home, what was our home,
With another man, oh man.
Been keeping you in my heart.
And so I whispered into your ear,
"What are you thinking about?"
You just looked up at the stars
And so I whispered into your ear,
"Who are you thinking about?"
It couldn't be me
You can't look me in my eyes anymore,
Without the rivers to tend.
Because you remember our love was true,
But you just needed a hand,
And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
Without yourself to defend.
You know you hurt me so bad,
Just 'cause you needed a hand.
And I went off and saw things I've never seen,
I really wanted you there.
But you ruined what was love
Just 'cause you needed a hand
This is the way that it all falls.
This is how I feel,
This is what I need:
You, by me--right here--by me,
Right now.
And so I whispered into your ear,
"What are you thinking about?"
You just looked up at the stars
And so I whispered into your ear,
"Who are you thinking about?"

You can't look me in my eyes anymore,
Without the rivers to tend,
'Cause you remember our love was true,
But you just needed a hand.
And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
Without yourself to defend.
You know you hurt me so bad,
Just 'cause you needed a hand.
And I went off and saw things I've never seen,
I really wanted you there.
But you ruined what was love,
Just 'cause you needed a hand
Just 'cause you needed a hand
Powerful as fuck!
