Foster The People - Helena Beat (Official Audio)

[@ArchangelAsias]

Man the early 2010's was such a wild time. Music like this was just randomly huge. These guys, The Killers, that song Little Talks, MGMT... There was such a trippy vibe for like 2 or 3 years and it just kind of stayed there unfortunately lol. But it's still so good!

[@stevecooper7883]

Glad the Killers are still putting out music though

[@princeamongmen7064]

It was a mad time in my life, and I look back with fond memories and a great soundtrack to remonise nostagically ❤

Life happened, foster the people but overall they don’t care ..can only do your best and save the spirit! 14 For this world is not our home; They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace. “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ 17 I appointed watchmen over you and said, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But you said, ‘We will not listen.’
