Ruby - Foster the People

[@eljayexplorer]

I remember loving how heartbreaking this song was in high school. I’m 25 now. Still love it

[@ninethetwotailedfox]

same...

[@ninethetwotailedfox]

Well I wasn't in high school LMAO! I just know that this song is pretty sad tbh :(

[@garytaboada6103]

Well same here

[@rubytovar695]

this makes me actually love my name.

[@boronir]

Ruby Tovar you have a beautiful name

[@xenvi1804]

Agreed

[@kevcthulu801]

Its one of the most beautiful names

[@testfortester7131]

Why would you love “Tovar”?

[@dominicdefelice7974]

What’s your name?

[@snehalmane]

There's another version of this song and it sounds amazing and it's different because it's very polished and "finished". This sounds so raw and imperfect and I love it.

[@7a9b8c1111]

Personally I prefer this version

[@evieatarax]

+Snehal Mane This is the leaked demo version. The more "polished" version is official and released in 2011 as a limited edition vinyl. Just to let you know :)

[@rondobro]

This one features Tim Carter on drums, now playing lead guitar in Kasabian. This one's way better)

[@idunoh1902]

You could say it’s like a *ruby* in the rough 😁

[@auggie48]

i love this version more

[@idunoh1902]

Dang the imperfect sound in this version actually makes it perfect.

[@Usuario_ejemplar]

this song has a soul

[@Flick2223]

This version is better i wish they would release it

[@dugtyler]

x Flick yep

[@DavidMFBowie]

This is song is overwhelmingly sad. Just hearing this songs makes my heart heavy.

[@kenchcafe3152]

Or your heart is a rock

[@kenchcafe3152]

Im joking

[@christhewiz9103]

Whyyyyy isn’t this on Spotify... I had this version on my phone for years, I thought this was the original. The original is nice, but this is something else. Enchanting.

It is now.

[@Marcellgdd]

@@christhewiz9103, fuck, is true, haha, this version has a second piano playing deep notes and the voice is a little bit lower, that's makes it sound more serious and sad.

[@samantha8734]

This touches me so deeply. I don't even know why it hurts so much. And every time he sings "Ruby, Ruby, Ruby" it gives me goosebumps.

[@ygnb5608]

i feel you bud :(

[@nk47digitalnatives]

That transition section into the bridge is so beautiful 3:13

[@kennethlam860]

[@Nico150397]

I think is one of the most beautiful foster the people`s songs

[@weedy1718]

Same :)

[@heyeunhae]

most underrated foster the people song of all time

[@coopermccormick]

No doubt.

[@Periwinkle63]

My brother (23), my sister(12) and me(16) we all love Foster The People! we're hipnotized with their music

[@roylefish]

This actually makes me love how things was before I use this song as a time machine and it helps me remember who I really am, specifically this old version of Ruby.

[@EnglishGentlemenZwH]

A beautifully wonder of a song. It's a shame this was not on Torches or Supermodel.

[@roman-kx6hp]

Its to good to be in an album.

[@ManlyPuffs]

Roman Gallo that makes no sense.

[@roman-kx6hp]

No, it makes no sense

[@ManlyPuffs]

Roman Gallo a song so good, that it is not on any album. just think that through.

[@roman-kx6hp]

no

[@kyras5350]

my grandma's name was Ruby...she was my best friend r.i.p I love you

[@ashleymonzon37]

she's got everything and nothing to loooooooose FOSTER THE PEOPLE

[@CoralStellaLou]

It feels good to know that someone else knows how hard it is to go on with life some days... even if the song isn't even remotely for the audience, it still feels good... just knowing that someone knows how hard it is wake up and go on makes me want to get out of bed in the mornings, and hold my head high against all odds... thank you Mark :)

How does he manage to make so many songs with perfect and different perspectives?

[@Shaylynn2817]

I just found this song and it's officially my favorite. The lyrics are beautiful and close to my heart, I can't get enough of these guys.

[@thegod4550]

One of the few songs I can come back to whenever I want. Also only this version lmao

[@RosieJetPlane]

this song will always be my favorite

[@LadyLys]

The fact my name is Ruby makes me reaaaallllyyyy happy :3

[@MistiriousStranger1]

+RubyPurple Sky You got to lift your head up Ruby

[@xenvi1804]

You have a beautiful name :)

[@zebraroxursox12]

this song brings me to tears nearly every time. i relate to it so much. most beautiful song i have ever heard. THIS takes true talent to write. well done mark :)

[@DylanBriese]

I must say, from the horrible music that is being produced today, this band finds a way to make some of the most beautiful, original, awesome, creative, and deep songs out there today. the entire torches album is downright amazing, and so is this amazing band! amazing job Foster the People, you have won my heart and respect. I cannot wait for the next album, I bet it will be just as amazing as torches is!

[@ColorRobo]

It's unique, to say the least. Every song gives off a different vibe and emotion, but everything is tied together by Mark Foster's creative and minimalistic songwriting. It's truly a work of art in itself, and it's not uncommon to like every song on the album equally.

[@Blu_Jay23]

Damn this is a good song

[@CeliaWuvsYa]

Whoa, I Completly LOVE This Song. I Keep Playing It Over & Over & OVER Again. Well Done Foster The People

[@elenid.lentsch2560]

I just fell in love with this song.

[@floracourtney8297]

Usually takes a few times to really enjoy a song, but this is my first time listening to this and i already love it .

[@rishafernandez6510]

I don't get why they removed this version from the album. Much better imo

[@chanelpersaud3486]

LOL! You should have seen my face while listening to this! I was crying like a wimp... my cheeks are soaked with my tears. I had to listen to hello by mark foster after I heard this to cheer me up a bit. Love it!

[@pancakewafflewarrior]

[@kyle4711]

I met Mark in 2007 and this song was on his demo. Stripped. This song convinced me of his immense talent. Glad he's recognized today. Great guy and great Artist.

[@odalizvlogsss3426]

Me 2 girl I feel you

[@4gettherest6]

This is the most amazing song I ever could have found in this part of my life. Thank you Foster the People for turning my emotions into music.

[@itzaleyva1623]

"Ruuby..Ruuby...Ruuby...I know it's hard but you've gotta get outta bed..outta bed...outta bed..." XD This is every morning for me..

[@dirtrider267]

The build up from 3:10-4:20 is amazing. Mark Fosters voice is amazing. This song is amazing.

[@Hollywoodsteve]

I'm surprised that this won't be on the new album. I was sort of expecting to see it listed on the track list for "Supermodel".

[@IIIhittmanIII]

yeah I don't get it either, must be a B track, but its such a good song

[@Hollywoodsteve]

IIIhittmanIII And Mark has even said it's one of his favorite songs that he has ever written. Maybe he's saving it for something special.

[@2thinAir]

I don't think this will get in to any album. It has become too old for that.

[@RicardoRodriguez-hr5zr]

Maybe a album of unreleased songs will come out after Supermodel

[@2thinAir]

Ricardo Rodriguez You can find 5-6 unreleased songs by Mark Foster dated way back to 2007 in musicville.fm .

[@bradyparrales6629]

Now I´m obsessed with this song. Which is perfect¡¡

[@valtheoaktree]

i'm actually crying

[@valtheoaktree]

Dear me of the past: this masterpiece is finally added to the deluxe album of Torches 🤍🤍🤍

[@aymankhiralla7559]

[@jillpond5299]

My favorite song by them, found by accident and not shared with anyone.

[@jillpond5299]

I think it would be huge for them if they released it.

[@GabbyFluff]

Why can' the whole world love Foster the People. They are so fantastic.

[@ninethetwotailedfox]

i feel you man. it took me 5 months to find someone who likes foster the people or even knows them

[@Kyrajade12]

This songs about a stay at home single mother.. connects to me very well tbh xD

[@ReksonGames]

This song is so underrated live. They played this as their first encore right before their outro with Pumped Up Kicks and the crowd wouldn't shut up and let me enjoy the beautiful song.

[@mahfudsubarkah74]

this song is good, make me feel better

[@XxSammrzxX]

[@hectordanielperezmartinez9151]

[@lucasargandona4658]

I thought Mark Foster always said "ooh babe...ooh babe. You gotta start lifting your headdd up headdd up"

[@kyle4711]

I first heard this song in 2007, Mark and his manager pitched my client (a major record producer), and we thought this would be his debut hit. A year and half later he tells me he's going to play his first gig with his new band Foster And The People, Well played Mark....
