Enter Shikari - Dear Future Historians... (Audio)

[@adamjones43001]

My wife gave birth to my little daughter recently and this song I had an immediate relation to after seeing my daughters eyes for the first time, the lyrics sum up the emotions I felt being a father to my little girl.

[@Scrapmetalnz]

Adam Jones me too man. To my son

[@karlakarenresendiz1708]

This is so sweet, i know you guys are great parents now :)

[@SkullCrusher252]

Bruh reading this with the beginning piano made me tear up a bit

[@craigstobbs9215]

Most beautiful comment ive read on youtube in a while 😁😁 would like to have kids but i dont, can totally feel you with this song tho, agree as well that if this ran through your mind when you saw your child then your will make a great parent 😁

[@MrJhonsmith85]

Shikari always throws in a slow, yet climactic build-up song and I love it. This is the Adieu/Constellations of The Mindsweep.

[@jonathann.5754]

and now the airfield/ode to the lost jigsaw pieces too

[@SamTheFisherMan100]

The only songs of theirs I like tbh

[@Mystic_Apollo]

@@jonathann.5754 I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT! They are so cruel to my emotions

[@carlofe8207]

@@jonathann.5754 they're all amazing songs but man, jigsaw is just on another leverl of heartshatter. That double climax shows how much they have musically improved over the years

[@MrDoysh121]

Rou is one of the greatest song writers of our generation; hands down.

[@MetalRocksMe.]

💯

[@manoy96]

this deserves a grammy or something.

[@Cotshuis]

I Agree. They already deserved it for Constellations i.m.h.o. But once again this band comes with one of the most inspiring songs i have ever heard..

[@TurtleGamers1]

No it deserves a granny.

[@irc_puggio]

K-Next yes very much, all the time. The Granny Awards. Assigned to all the bands love by grandmas and nephews!

***** The Gammys don't deserve this

[@damonwills2125]

It's amazing how the atmosphere in the crowd changes during this song. Everyone stops and listens in awe, it really connects to people and is one of the highlights of the show. Beautiful song.

[@Snakeyb]

My wife isn’t a fan of Enter, but she chose this to walk down the aisle to, when we got married back in May this year. Cheers lads, keep doing what you do best.

[@Monius13]

Congrats on the wedding, mate.

[@djentleman8116]

Congrats! this was a beautiful song choice

[@kingofthefrogs8321]

this song means so much to me, i remember my first shikari show, whole night getting thrown about in the pits and feeling part off a family. shikari will always have a very big place in my heart for getting me through the rough patches in my life, sadly my ears arn't too good anymore and for me to go to another concert i will need to wear £400 ear plugs and being poor it seams like years away when i'll be able to go to another one, but you can bet once i can affored it shikari will be the first guys i see. i doubt you guys will read this but if you do i just want to say thank you from the bottom off my heart, i know this will relate to alot off other shikari fans too.

[@GregJonson]

Playing this right as December 31st turns into January 1st. This is the first time in my life I'm spending New Year's completely alone. I'm turning older, all of my friends either live with their partners, or in different parts of the country. I'm as left out as I can be. Sitting alone in my apartment, listening to the sound of fireworks behind a closed curtain, playing to this song that brings me a little bit of comfort.

[@reptarinator]

Same bro, maybe we can be friends. I'm 26 and live in Florida. Don't know if your close or not.

[@GregJonson]

@@reptarinator Well I live across the Atlantic and then some. :(

[@ThisIsDownstate]

right there with you buddy. everyones married, lives far away etc 40 years old, see a friend maybe a few times a year, i guess that's life as you get older. it gets lonely as fuck sometimes. But chin up because you never know what's right around the corner. whenever i had it all, it fucked up somehow, and whenever i was about to give up, something or someone amazing came along and life turned around. wishing you well sir

[@undervow]

My interpretation is that we don’t have to be or accomplish something extraordinary to be valuable. We may not have done anything on a grand scheme to change the world. But when I look into your eyes I feel love. You are my greatest discovery. My greatest strength is to sacrifice myself for you. To take on your weight. To me it’s a song of unity.

[@tayandrrra]

This song makes me cry

[@RetroStyle89]

Taya Gorodetskaya me too and I'm on a fucking bus

[@kurtalexander9757]

Me too, me too

[@amandastephens3300]

So the rarest of occurrences just happened, upon listening to this I just felt the undying need to close my eyes and so I did . Suddenly I just spaced out and I felt like I was transported into a another place and it was magical. Enter Shikari, you have never failed me, NEVER and I just personally want to thank all of you for this magnum opus. Fuck, you guys are amazing.

[@noodlesatemybaby]

never forget man.

[@xTRiPx1]

Alright, so I just finished listening to this song on Spotify for the first time and I just had so many emotions during the song and at the end I was like, holy shit does everyone else know about this masterpiece of a song?!? I'm so sorry I stopped listening to you Enter Shikari. : ( ♡

[@lollopydaiz9733]

This song live is like he's singing just to you. To me it feels like: Keep on plugging, keep going, we're on your side. Which believe me is unbelievably important when dealing with the government's arbitrary boundaries of what they believe disability is...

[@kotisaavedra7556]

My long distance boyfriend showed me this song the time we first met, when our time physically together was reaching an end. He just sang it to me again to help me cope with the sadness of being apart. Despite the distance, I've never felt so loved, supported and accompanied in my life before

[@alexanderbustamante9975]

They made me cry once with Constellations... They did it again...

[@michaelynwatson1086]

I never walked on the moon I never saw the pyramids I was never struck by famine or fortune I'll never experience the world you inhabit I'll never experience the world you inhabit I never swam with dolphins I never sang from a mountaintop I was no inventor and no archaeologist I fret not, I fret not For I've made my own discovery I fret not, I fret not For I've made my own discovery I fret not, I fret not, I fret not I fret not, I fret not, I fret not Just put your weight on my shoulders For when I dive into your iris My brain erupts Into biochemical mayhem And I feel like a man with two hearts, with two hearts I fret not, I fret not For I've made my own discovery I fret not, I fret not For I've made my own discovery I fret not, I fret not, I fret not I fret not, I fret not, I fret not Just put your weight on my shoulders Put your weight on my shoulders Put your weight on my shoulders Put your weight on my shoulders Put your weight on my shoulders Put your weight on my shoulders (so put your weight on my shoulders) Put your weight on my shoulders (so put your weight on my shoulders)

[@ozoraidani]

Thank you for posting this captain! I know the lyrics by heart, but it’s much easier to sing it with this!

[@TheChesterKiwi]

Enter Shikari has evolved so much since Take to the Skies to make songs like this and Constellations. The power and emotion is unbelievable and anyone who says that TTTS is better is living in denial of Rou's superior songwriting nowadays. This entire album is a profound emotional ride if you're willing to let down your walls and push your ego aside.

[@chloeryanvtuber]

You, sir, are very wise! I agree completely!

[@justasantanaitis1815]

Give this guy a grammy for the best comment

[@TheChesterKiwi]

Oh well shucks thanks haha.

[@NecroSage]

I think TTTS is better just because that's how I was introduced to ES and it's nostalgia overload haha. Obviously the recent albums are much better lyrically though, idk man, I think TTTS will always have the special #1 spot in my heart

[@justingiras2861]

Transoceanic Winds agreed

[@offiziellerkanalvondoggen-3116]

"I feel like a man with two hearts" Ah yes, Rou Reynolds, the 14th Doctor.

[@ThisIsDownstate]

this song gets me every time. but here i am again after a rough time, even as a grown ass man sometimes you need to let it out and let it go or it'll eat you up from the inside. this imo, is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@taelend5301]

one of my favorite songs in general. absoluutely love it; almost brings a tear to my eyes

[@dmcdcryptotwitter657]

Every one of their albums has had a lyrically beautiful song... Adieu, fanfare (although more serious), constellations and this. Dfh has to be my favourite though..

[@otislaurence9393]

and then airfield, and for me, satellites !!

[@Shadowchasm1]

went to their first arena show in Nottingham on Saturday. it was truly incredible. and rou's performance of this song blew me away. it was so beautiful.

[@darrelllines6844]

Quite possibly the best track ever to grace this earth.

Cheers to being here for me in moments I cannot recount. Been listening and coming back since i was in grade school. No other group of souls can encompass how I truly feel better than you gents. I want to leave the US behind, never felt that i belonged here anyway. Without you, my two hearts wouldnt be whole. Please never stop making music, you lot do it so beautifully.

[@bluejaguar5841]

A love song by Shikari, that's a rarity! Beautiful song, I hope you guys play it in London =]

[@latinoheat74]

This song reminds me of my ex, she suffered very badly with depression and decided to leave me in order to get better, I always wanted her to put her weight on my shoulders so I could help her, and being apart from her is really killing me, she now refuses to speak to me because I selfishly got angry, I've tried apologizing but it will never be the same.

[@sholland97]

That's rough dude. ;-;

[@Magrox9]

I'm sorry friend

[@CrowsDescend]

That is sad, but don't think of it in such a bad way man. Think of it as an experience, a part of your life which was for a reason and even if the reason was not clear, maybe it needed to happen for some reason unknown because life is mysterious like that. Mostly everything happens for a reason.. look at the positives, even though it will be hard for you because you miss her as you say... I understand... just accept what has happened and if you did your best, that's all you need to tell yourself... people come into your life to teach you lessons and vice versa, so try to move on. If ya'll are supposed to be together then maybe the situation will change to fit that need. Peace

[@benji7662]

latinoheat74 Wow, pretty much exactly whats going on with me right now, except i was the one battling depression. I'm better now but she hates me for everything i threw back in her face. Stay strong man, life goes on i guess.

+CurvyPirate I have the feeling that this is always a good idea for artists. ;)

[@falcon8752]

I don't know. I feel like some people... just view everything from another angle. You never quite get them, but once they explain it to you, then you notice how beautiful it is inside their head. I'm not sure these people _need_ psychedelics. Hell, it might actually make them more normal than they are. Who am I to know that?

[@HandandInternet]

The last 2:30 minutes should be its own song.

[@iamgodmode5196]

I thought that as well, but that kind of take away that "Enter Shikari" essence. Remember "Constellations" from FFOC: That too had that "story" to it that eventually rocketed into a massive drum fest which brings out the epicness even more. Same here, where the first part grasps your heart and elevates you to that "we'll make it somehow" level when the other part reminds you of the moment and gives you strength to carry on. Without it, it still would've been an awesome song but without the Shikari touch which would've been a loss to the album as a whole.
