[@garethatkinson7765]

I think they all learnt how to play instruments when they formed the band. Even the signer hadn't sang before. I think anyway.

[@Lalo9G]

I must say that this is one of the best performances I've ever seen from a singer on the stage. And the song, man. That song is such a treasure. Thanks, Future Islands. You did it. Greetings from Peru.

[@shivaunt71]

He's great, did you watch him perform 'Seasons' it's also brilliant.

[@shivaunt71]

It's just so funny! 🤣

[@DanielFranc35]

Bien dicho peruano

[@alastairbrewster4274]

Vamos Peru mi amigo, mi esposa es Peruanos. Beautiful country and people

[@espenbaklid3178]

You should check out his performance of Seasons (Waiting on you) on David Letterman! I was almost in a shock like state after watching that!

[@Mugsy0407]

I am 62 years old and only discovered this band recently. They are magnificent with an unbelievable front man. I could watch this guy all night!!!

[@JPHOT100]

I'm 59 and discovered them a few years ago whilst working abroad in Canada. A song was playing in a bar and I managed to catch it with Shazam. Got tickets to see them in Southampton, UK, in two weeks. Should be a good night.

[@Shadowman444w]

Saw them at glastonbury 2015 blew my mind with seasons

[@awwbollocksthen1359]

Prime example of how good you could be, if your able to just let yourself go instead of worrying of what people think of you?

[@mikenisbet]

Nailed it

[@DanielFranc35]

Absolute

[@SuperSentinel1]

Never seen this band before until their appearance on Jool's show. I'm hooked, the most charismatic frontman I've witnessed in decades, plus brilliant music. Stole the show for me.

[@danoz3480]

Stephen Hill that bass line and the player are top drawer...very New Order and U2. Love it!

[@Telfordism]

Great band, love the lead singer's performance..doesn't give a shit. Its almost like he is taking the piss out of cool..fuck cool because it limits you. This is all about the music and being yourself. Love it! :)

[@lizfenner4618]

pop

[@johngilder2603]

My thoughts entirely. Echoes of Waits in his voice - which I love - and the movement is spell-binding. Can't stop watching this, and Dream of You and Me and Seasons. So unique. Brilliant. Best thing I've seen and heard in yonks.

[@Albjzl]

Love your comment about them and 'cool'.....your comment's 'cool'!

[@karlbutler96]

Best comment ever!!!

[@runnerup9786]

Self expression. 😀

[@leightonlee4108]

say what you want about this man he feels he sees and grabs emotion like no other unique

[@chrisjones5341]

the best thing I have EVER seen on Jools Holland - I have watched this performance about 50 times since it was on. Utterly beguiling.

[@Limekiln100]

Got to agree!!

[@MWeistra]

I concur!

[@gethinnadin]

He's awesome isn't it. Its like he controls his voice using his body. Going to see them in a few weeks - can't wait.

[@Ratinao]

gethinnadin You'll see nothing new, he does the sale dance all the time. He has a routine for every song. Douchebag.

[@lennydylan]

chris...beautiful original star

[@tombranfoot3534]

it's not often a band can make you feel something like future islands can, the frontman's passion reaches into you in a brilliant way

[@MiotaLee]

I've been struggling with suicidal ideations for as long as I can remember. I cry every time I hear this song, I heard it the first time at a very difficult time in my life. All I can do, is ask myself for peace.

[@sairagregory6187]

Hope things are going good for you x keep on keeping on

[@capricosm8086]

I empathise with what you are feeling and saying . You are not alone .

[@theseptembersessions_music]

this song is my go to song, so beautiful

[@BigChris007]

I'm 56 year of age and seen some good and bad bands - this band are truly genius, brilliant vocals and sound

[@tannoys2008]

bigChris1 Expand there sound hopefully over time as in some songs Samuel T Herring carries them a bit to much as I agree the mans vocals are genius and I love the overall sound they are very close to being modern day legends.

[@ТоляЗаречный]

Хоть они действующие музыканты,но они уже вошли в историю! Одни из лучших,те кто смогли найти себя,смогли найти свой стиль в целом!

[@darrenwalshe8513]

I didnt think they could top seasons, but here we are ❤

[@leandroahek2921]

The man is feeling the music, great song.

[@augusteghislaindupin]

and a GREAT keyboardist! everybody doesn't care about them! He's so good!

[@hugoneira8372]

The drummer is a machine...time, Groove, swing, rithim, perfection.

[@ricardoroberto7054]

I found this band when spotify suggested this song and i got hooked. The fact that bands can escape your attention for 10 years is sad.

[@chrismceneany6285]

He has a truly astounding voice. And his performance is so infectious and so heartfelt. No BS, no pretentiousness - just in-the-moment liberation. Quite a rare thing in this day and age. Can u imagine what Simon Cowell would make of it? The talentless hack! I really need a karaoke session with some Future Islands material!!!!

[@thedivinemrm5832]

Chris McEneany Proof, if ever it were needed, that people with REAL talent don't need "talent shows".... ;)

[@ramimwamba9937]

I got shown this band in class a couple days ago, their performance of Seasons on Jools. I was enthralled, what an amazing man Samuel is, I just want to meet him and ask him where does he pull this emotion from, this passion, this unfiltered raw, powerful sincerity. This is why I always root for singers who write their own music, because when they perform it they're living their truth, love.

[@vosje7691]

[@aheadrec6659]

YEAH I AGREE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW..

[@highcompressionhead7940]

Absolutely fascinating singer,unique,utterly original. Brilliant

The guy has so much feeling!

[@jenniferpatrick1389]

Someone told me about this song and person and now in 2024. You are always going to be my favourite

[@blondegraemey]

Great band. Love the early New Orderi/post punk sound. Best front man in the last 20 years.

[@karstenlachmann6185]

Best frontman , best music ...ever ... wow !!!!

[@MrQuirke9]

Saw these guys in Galway, Ireland around 2017. Very good show and even ended meeting them in a pub after

[@koentenvoorde4929]

No matter you dig this or not, no doubt they mean what they sing, genuine, beats the daily radiocrap.amen.

[@rahmanbeduin1203]

Descobri essa Banda recentemente e não me canso de assistir e ouvir suas músicas. Eles são maravilhosos!!!

[@westernpark70]

most people check out his performances as they've heard of his lunacy on stage.... but there is greatness hiding within !!

[@VictorWeiner]

Love and despair in equal measure... Performed with with passion and belief... A band who are genuine to the core... Thank you Future Islands !!

[@DavidTransformer]

Different is good. This guy is brilliant

[@bobgreen623]

Great song, I love his voice and the way he moves.

[@icodlosvinos]

God I love those moves............brilliant, they just suit him so well

[@robbietheretrorobot949]

Great performance, you can't deny they have a unique sound which is different to most bands out there today, but this is why I like them so much, as for the dodgy dancing, yes he may look like a demented chicken but it gets him noticed and certainly gets people talking. So at the end of the day I guess he can say "job done".

[@oknoypoblete1917]

wrestled by the sea A loneliness in me I asked myself for peace And found it at my feet Staring at the sea... All that glitters is gold Don't believe what you've been told People lie, people love, people go But beauty lies in every soul I wrestled by the sea A dream of you and me I let it go from me It washed up at my feet Staring at the sea... All that glitters is gold Don't believe what you've been told People lie, people love, people go But beauty lies in every soul If you wait, if you wait for the morning If you wait, if you wait for the morning If you wait, if you wait for the morning If you wait, if you wait for the morning How long, how long How long, how long I asked myself for peace I asked myself for peace I asked myself for peace I asked myself for peace I asked myself for peace And found a piece of me Staring at the sea...

[@TheWanderingOutsider]

Simply the best live performance for a very, very, long time! Superb!

[@iandraper32]

When this first came out , it made my spine tingle ,, it still does !!! Just one of those songs that lasts ,, thanks guys 🥰

[@iandraper32]

Ps , please reissue on vinyl Sam T herring , too good not to , then I can whack it out on my big Canadian made technics speakers ! Big love from West Dorset England, by the sea 😎🥰👌

[@Stanners96]

his performances always remind me of a Jekyll and Hyde type thing, like a monster who has the most beautiful insights and is torn by them

[@ivorybow]

Every great once in awhile an authentic artist shows up. Samuel T. Herring made it worth the wait. What a delight! How have they been around 10 years and I am just now finding them!

[@georgemcgeever276]

First time I have ever seen or heard these guys. But wow this is superb. Front man is in another level🫡👏👏👏

[@generationterrorist1]

The best band out there by a million million miles, heartfelt, passionate......unbelievable

[@cshartley101]

Only just discovered this band, Love them already. Incredible front man. Love the way he simply doesn't give a fuck about being judged. Unique and real.

[@normanhadley2709]

Great band good singer ,best band from America for years

[@armfield199]

Brilliant-now obsessed by this band.

[@garynicholl9116]

There aint too many bands that sound better live than in the studio. These boys are one

[@fenlandanglingadventuresje7329]

Cant believe its taken me so long to discover this band, the sound is fantastic and front man Samuel Herring is such a great showman.

[@ivorslack6665]

These guys have stuck in my mind for weeks, a great sound and performance. The singer would look great doing that dance routine in a straight jacket to an appropriate song, that would make a Legend.

[@svenloach7323]

He goes into this unusual trance state. I can imagine it's therapeutic.

[@Limekiln100]

The band provide such a soothing backdrop for Mr Herring to blow the stage and anyone watching to smithereens.

[@michaeljohnston3741]

there are no words really for this performance.... OK there are.. fucking awesome

[@vestjyskfyr49]

I saw them on one of our national tv channels yesterday. It was a live transmission from Skanderborg Festival 2015 here in Denmark. I was at least 25 degrees outside and he was jumping and dancing around for almost 2 hours. What a concert. I loved it. My new favorite band.

[@smokey621]

the dude has the presence of Mick...... the writing is exceptional.....whew!!...just when we thought we would all be cursed by Biebers, Swift parody's for the rest of our lives...these guys come around giving hope to real music again....

[@estellethompson8353]

I'm absolutely hooked! Magnetic!

[@ElliePG]

I love them. I am always fascinated by Sam Herring's performances, his vocals are unique, can't take my eyes off him. The band also provide a solid performance they are excellent musicians. So glad Jools got them on.

[@mk1golfpete]

Love this dude! Reminds me of morrisey

[@MrLarryhoover425]

I agree! He's actually supporting morrissey this summer

[@imagecollections6665]

How dareyou compare this peon to Morrissey!!!

[@jenng2489]

This is awesome! Love his performance💜💙❤️ so alive and kicking sweet🔥💥✨⭐️✨

[@sudo_nym]

Saw them on Jools for the first time. Haven’t been able to not play “Singles” each week since. This band deserves to be much bigger than they are. Sublime.

[@gafyndavies]

Just love the contrast between Samuel's dynamic performance and the 'staticity' of the other guys,

[@riverwolf654]

Hello from Ireland....this is magic

[@trammix]

Good to know there are still people in the world that get recognised for their talent. Great original song.

[@EmmaONeill-kg7im]

I'm 46. Apart from the thunder storm that shut him off in not so sunny Manchester UK . He was supporting Noel. But we went to see him xx

[@Thomas.harding]

Was that at wythenshaw park?

[@Sasquatch10]

My barber had a poster for that show in their shop.

[@MariaPratiwiU2]

amazing Sam, amazing song, amazing band.. dance, the voice, the beat, the passion, PERFECT!

[@krisherries9246]

Great tune he's loving life amazing thats what music is about lose yourself.

[@matthewmartinkovic6909]

Amazing, where has this band been all my life?

[@arielatomhc]

I saw this band perform at Glastonbury on the BBC iplayer and this band was in the top 3 of about 30 videos I watched.

[@toffeebluekenyon4397]

class pure class,been waiting for someone like these for years.

[@romienaufal7306]

Back in Laneway 2015. I didn’t knew him, he stole my attention with his moves and voice that made it UNIQUE. Of all the bands in the Fest .. This band star struck me .

[@kellycastro4328]

Increíbleee, una banda sin adornos ni efectos especiales, solo calidad musical. El vocalista, pura pasión, electrizante.

[@anthonydevitt3206]

Brilliant band 👍

[@pand1s]

Es esa la definición.... electrizante

[@stanmarshthedarsh]

i've always found the juxtaposition of Sam's stage presence against backdrop of a very reserved band really interesting.

[@harpsailorharp6716gg]

He means every word

[@TheMasterMikeB]

Sometimes you look round and find great music with a great front man and all the crap around goes away

[@luzsilva6138]

Me encanta esta banda, especialmente su vocalista y como baila en el escenario...amo su pasión al cantar ❤️🌻💪

[@clairem7823]

A brillant band to see live, as you see him here, this is what he is like live. Brillant showman.

[@sueravenscroft3962]

I love Sam and with all that passion and his eyes would make a great actor. Come back to UK soon

[@IslingtonMunch]

Saw them last night at Brixton Academy they were Bang on and their support band were very very good as well a two drummer band called Zack Mexico playing Psychedelic pop indie stuff, Saw Future Islands first on Jools Holland waited a long time to see them live worth the wait ***

[@theraubyreport]

I'd give my left ball to watch these dudes live. Amazing performance :)

[@DarrenBates]

Been a fan of theirs for 4 years now and I always come back to this performance. When I heard them first I listened to everything they'd ever done and introduced them to so many people. No matter what, people are always so surprised that music is still that good these days, and that as a band they put on some show. For me they are the best band of this century so far and they're loved by people of all ages in all countries.

[@mcnamarawilliam]

just saw them live.. best live act ever! Thanks to jools for this discovery!

[@johnkelly6803]

Saw them in Liverpool earlier this year- great night and even better performance.

[@littleheath1666]

Saw them in Sydney last night 5th Dec 2017 . They were brilliant.

[@danielfmccormack]

The passion of a delta bluesman mixed with David Byrne moves. Brilliant. 👏

[@mandycampbell329]

Love this band 😙 the lead singer can move!! Fantastic

[@chriswhitt6685]

I love this band. And the lead singer dude has the best little dance moves ever.

[@daniel.ostridgeostridge9709]

Brilliant song. Very outstanding performance brilliant. Grate music coming from. The band brilliant. Grate group future islands. And the vocalists brilliant song.

[@harryhughes4423]

Sublime music, vocalist immersed in the emotion of it all and a pretty good mover at that. It's like Brandon Flowers meets Tom Waits....and that's meant to be a compliment as I love all of these guys 😊❤

[@Hello-there120]

Saw ths Live, his 'dad' dancing is infectious

[@pamtufnell6751]

I tell you what else I like the contrast the smooth steady beat of the music and your unpredictability

[@Houseoflineage]

My favourite song by future Islands. I will never forget were I was the first time I was introduced to this group ❤

[@MelodyFox]

@ 3:38 *and found a piece of me...staring at the sea* I could watch this guy forever! (almost) Such passion, depth, and feeling...crazy dance steps too! Great Group! ^♥^ LPM💙☮️🎵

[@lenaaalonso]

His voice is so amazing and out of this world !!!

[@frontman010]

Hypnotic and pure brilliance.

[@MrLarryhoover425]

Sam is a more energetic morrissey! I'm so glad FI are supporting him this year! The no doubt moz is a big influence of his.

[@steveturley9129]

Like Mugsy I'm 61 and saw this for the first time last night, I'm hooked because of how raw and bonkers it is but with a good song at the heart of it... I come from pink floyd and radiohead to here and Richard Hawley and gavin clarke and endless...

[@tangfastic7075]

When i first saw this guy.... i instantly thought of The Dude's landlord, Marty, from the Big Lebowski.... ie a somewhat comical figure we can laugh at. But i keep on coming back and wanting to watch more. An absolute brilliant frontman.

[@alankelly3659]

Time and time again this performance just lifts you, incredible stuff
