Future Islands - "A Dream Of You And Me"

Directed by Elena Johnston & William Cashion
"A Dream Of You And Me"
I 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...

[@mattgreen3696]

are you quoting yourself? who said that

[@narizota]

Lucho Salinas i love that part, to me is like the ultimate meaning of life, I hate when ppl want to give up on each other because of ppl lying, being cruel and making mistakes I do believe that every person does mistakes and that doesn’t make them bad or malignant, also I hate when some ppl say that we are not special and they denigrate other people existence and even their own saying that we are just dust when that’s not true at all, our entire existence is a proof that miracles exist how can something so organized such as life can exist in a universe full of chaos? To me it is a miracle, we have to believe we are special, because if we weren’t living, the universe would not even exist. what’s the point of having a cd if u can’t play it? The same logic applies to us, whats the point of having an entire universe without someone to see and appreciate it? That’s why we are so special and i hope i never stop to be amazed by how wonderful ya people are. Sorry lmaooo I got too carried away but this song made me feel and remember all of these thoughts with only these stranzas that u wrote

[@davelucas1803]

My daughter introduced this to me. She has great taste in music. I'm hooked.

[@DIGITAL7Media]

Good job Dave! I hope my kid and I will connect like that. He's only 8 and loves music. He sees me home recording and sometimes sings. I hope when he's a teenage we can listen and write songs together.

[@thornswrath]

I can't believe I finally get to see FUTURE ISLANDS live again, tonight! I sure hope they play this song (one of my favorites)!

Hey, you, the one hooked with this song. You are not alone, I share a deep love for this song and it's making me very happy, I just wanted you to know, I feel the same way and wherever you are, I know you feel that way too. Knowing that there is someone feeling the same way I do, gives me peace, even if I don't know you, so smile!

[@hfanti]

Never in my life I cried so much during a concert than during the first couple of minutes of this song. Listening to it, I made it through one of the toughest years of my life, but it wasn't until I saw it live that I understood how much the lyrics meant to me.

[@atcgirl5034]

I feel as if many of their songs are about un-reciprocated love, and maybe that's why so many people are connecting with it, myself included. =(

[@brocowsci]

You've hit the nail on the head ;)

The bass player is DEFINITELY what keeps me here. And the Vocalist. And the Lyrics. Yeah!! The whole band!!

[@Muffett53]

I was looking for a song ...about a dream ...of someone with me. Found this one. Never heard of it...nor the group. I'm glad I found it. I really like it. I love finding some new(to me) songs. Now I can listen to it more often. It reminds me of how someone found me....on the beach.

[@uhmnosorry4977]

oh so very dramatic with all the dots...

Somebody say this about a band they love every day. Glad you found yours.

I went to see them without knowing much about them and I was very impressed. They have such great energy on stage

[@voidzone]

Shame he is barely audible live, very bad microphone management.

[@justins.9858]

Saw them this weekend. Finally. Can't wait until them come around again.

This song strongly reminds me of The War on Drugs... 2014 was a great year!

This is the song that brought me to the Islands about a year ago, and I've been eternally grateful.

[@geneseh8092]

If Future Islands keeps this up, they are going to find themselves in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (they probably will be touring when they get the news)! Keep it up guys! Keep on creating wonderful art…I am a fan!

This song elicits the calm feeling of spending time with someone that makes you feel safe and at peace. Time flies when you spend time with that person.

I soooooooo love this song..... Loneliness in me. I ask myself for peace. I found it at my feet, staring at the sea.

Great singer

[@StormDog12]

“I asked myself for peace.” My younger brother John and I bonded over many Future Islands songs several years back, including this one. He passed away from cancer at 34 in 2018. Every time I hear this song, I think of him. Thanks for this great song and many others off of that album.

[@flaplaya]

I'm just finding them on Austin City Limits... In that sweet spot immediately listening! Like a cross of Billy Idol and Depech Mode or A Flock Of Seagulls or whoever. 80's/90's Synth Pop is maybe my second favorite genre next to Florida Breaks... That synthesizer work, vocals, drums and bass! Glad this is coming back! Major awesomeness and great work dudes if you read. Dang Sam's animated and has some range, very talented. Chills and almost tears they're so good.. This is music :)

[@joeycastillo5282]

I saw and discovered them also in Austin City Limits. I love synthpop music since the 80's. Love Future Islands

[@flaplaya]

It was a great night finding them..Watch, within a few years this style will make a huge return. Epic music.

[@spooky8399]

This can be my background music for the rest of the day

[@strippyfire001]

I don't know why but this video is so nostalgic... probably because it's filled with objects and craft materials from when I was a kid
