    Threw a bottle across the water
    To someone who's thinking of me
    There's a tower in the ocean
    Pouring through me
    That's my will and testament
    I, I, I am waiting on the other side, sigh
    Looked out into everything and I lie, lie
    Tell myself it's nothing, when it's quite right
    Everything grows stronger in the light
    When a boy who played with razors
    Met a girl who opened cages
    All the birds flew through the graveyard
    And their laughter was contagious
    I, I, I am watching on the other side, sigh
    Looked out into every nil and nigh
    Lie, tell myself it's darkest when it's quite bright
    Everything grows stronger in her light
    In the light, in the light, in the light
    Standing at the sea and swallowing
    Without you, beside you
    But you knew what I knew
    I, I, I am waiting on the other side, sigh
    Looked out into everything and I lie
    Tell myself it's nothing, when it's quite right
    Everything grows, everything grows
    I, I, I am watching, I am waiting
    I, I, I am waiting, I'm not breaking
    I lie, tell myself it's okay, when it's not quite
    Everything grows stronger in the light

Just me and two women I befriended in the line not even 3 hours prior. WILD night, but they’re some of the realest and most down to earth people. They made us feel so welcome especially after I mentioned it was my first time seeing them in concert. Sam is such an easy person to talk to, and he is so clearly passionate with his work.

      : I was at the 2023 gig in Bangor, SPECIFICALLY for Future Islands, and I got the same vibe there. Which I'm not surprised - Bangor is full of people who are there to r-a-w-k RAWK, like they just discovered Limp Bizkit from their meth-addicted, grape-like stepdad. They're just not used to this sort of expression, sadly.

    Don't wanna brag but I'm in the top .01% of Future Islands listeners according to Spotify. This album is unsurprisingly amazing.

    Seeing them live always trips me out because Sam is very animated; whereas, the rest of the band simply shoegazes the entire set.
