I said, yeah, alright, I kept my hands in my back, yes, I'm alive. I said, yeah, alright, I comb my hair with a knife, yes, I'm alive. I said, yeah, alright, I never run from a fight, yes, I'm alive. I said, yeah, alright, I comb my hair with a knife, yes, I'm alive. LOVE THAT PART -w-

[@Gratius99]

Same it was amazing. Wish that part was in the main song.

[@craig_choka]

Ooh-whoo-ooh-ooh, ooh whoo-ooh-ooh, ooh whoo-ooh-ooh

[@tomdinardi1621]

Yeah-yeah, yay-yay-yeah, alright: I kept my hands to my back, yes I'm alive Said-said yeah, alright: I comb my hair with a knife, yes I'm alive We'll say yeah, alright: I never run from a fight, yes I'm alive I said yeah, alright: I comb my hair with a knife, yes I'm alive Sorry, my OCD needed to get the exact wording. 🙃😬❤

[@laurapoller6828]

i think i prefer the acoustic version.... it sounds amazing

[@MrBlack-pu5tv]

I agree they are amazing acoustic!

[@rafaelstoffels3631]

yepp!!

[@fulanocubano]

I could listen to this on loop for who knows how long. This song resonates with me. The lyrics, the beat, his voice...it just makes me feel.

[@ninethetwotailedfox]

nostalgic?

[@Lisa-Leipness]

Just now discovered this one .. (i'm a fast one)

[@Lisa-Leipness]

So did ya? ;)

[@geofflegeoff6795]

The song and the lyrics are fucking meaningful and beautiful

[@jerrycorrea5974]

Geoff le Geoff, I prefer the lyrical content of Pumped Up Kicks.

[@cristinae3384]

❤ watching from 2023 this version will always be my favorite.

[@eduardocunhadecarvalho4778]

Mark keeping the title of human kazoo as always

[@katiekelly7103]

this is magic

[@michaeljordan1135]

If this is magic then we can play "got your nose!" together and I will blow your mind.

[@yaizalopez6383]

michael jordan what no fuck off

[@IgnitionZigggy]

I love how he has such a different unique voice! Such talent!:) Love this song

[@ishensarabia5619]

Yeah,alright, I've never run from a fight Yes I'm alive

[@trevorladouceur5495]

he should sing in a deeper voice more often

[@AlienDevito]

So different voice, but like it and soooooo much.

[@Kittycatlurver25]

This gives the song a whole different vibe. It's like a completely different song altogether. Not many muscian's are capable of changing audience's perspectives of their music through slimmed down versions. This proves just how amazing mark is. I'm so glad he's getting all this recognition. Gives me hope for our dim witted generation.. GOOD MUSIC

[@rahabumugeta6022]

love Foster the People

[@tiffjuliettttttt]

2017 omg I adore this version

[@LorenJPetersen]

this song got me through my back surgery

[@pimpc1125]

I've listened/watched this video so many times, I'm actually sad when he doesn't sing the extra bit at the end in the studio version.

[@TheOffcenterType]

Near the end, the lyrics he added, are so dark, amazing, and matches with the happy tone. It describes Foster The People and i love them for that :)

[@aceboyz]

2019, this is still freaking gold. Mark Simms is a genius 💙

[@garis7392]

[@jonahproctor4264]

Went on a date last night and we talked about Torches and how we both love this song so as I'm walking her home I played this and it was oddly and beautifully romantic

[@DavidH98]

This song is amazing !!! Im glad i put the effort in to learn this on guitar

[@cristinae3384]

My favorite version of this song

[@hollyhollywood92]

[@Bluecerealbowl]

Mark's Voice...... *Chills*

[@WinkandaSmile22]

[@SeungGyuPark]

Sometimes life it takes you by the hair Pulls you down Before you know it, it's gone and you're dead again I've been in places and I won't pretend Yeah I'd make it out just to fall on my head Wake up strange and take the walk downstairs Hit the pawn up on the corner and pay for my rent You know that I could not believe my own truth Just show them what I choose, got nothing to lose Yeah yeah and it's O.K. I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight You know those days when you want to just choose To not get out of bed, you're lost in your head again You play the game but you kind of cut 'Cause you're coming down hard and your joints are all stuck I've tried to say that it's not the only way I never knew if I could face myself to change You were pacing, I was insecure Slip and fall, I'm dodging calls, hug the prison I've been living in Yeah yeah and it's O.K. I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight Yeah yeah and it's O.K. I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison Took a sip of something poison, poison Yeah yeah and it's O.K. I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight Yeah yeah and it's O.K. I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison Took a sip of something poison, poison

[@Loveftp315]

I really love those lyrics he added on. They sound perfect.

[@buzzslogs]

A lot of music taste could be found here on this song and it's a relaxing song as well. FosterThePeople was quite a talented band that I listen since I'm 20.

It is UNREAL how there’s still no acoustic album. I was mindblown 9 yrs ago when I heard these renditions. Couldn’t get enough & put them on a cd. C’mon Mark, 😭

I love their acoustic stuff and how marks voice is so diverse but this song is even better with marks high voice like in the recorded version, cos it makes it more like... freaked out and surreal which makes adds a lot to this song and makes it very unique but never the less i so love the added lyrics
