★ Happy New Year ★

[@Camuvingian]

He fucking means it. He told the story, and I believe him.

[@simon.annies]

i know, right? the only other singer i know of you can do that is adam duritz from counting crows

[@aaronthorfinnson7284]

man i love how the singer just lays it all out and the bass player is just chill as fuck

[@robbieperrone5191]

Your comment was sexy as all get out.

[@carlfrew4158]

Only found this band a week ago, brightening my "Coronavirus" isolation time up. 👍

[@alex_n8863]

The exact msg I was about to write; Future Islands helping us through! Stay safe out there! 👊

[@beaubergeron6369]

Omicron has entered the chat 🤣

[@karenwheatland6677]

Seen them live in Manchester 24th Nov 2017, Sam T Herring is the most mesmerising performer I have seen in many a year, songs & tunes are awesome too. Absolute brilliant live band.

[@aztlan667]

Best quads in the game...

[@anthoneybare]

This bloke has redefined cool.

[@billmcnamara6569]

This dude has all the moves!

[@GraceJ91]

Obsessed with this performance. His little dance when the drums kick in😍

[@WanderingTwin1]

Hooked! Great tune! and what a performer. Passionate man!

[@neil03152]

Fantastic performance which was the highlight of the show for me by far. It simply knocked my boots off. As someone else has observed elsewhere there are great similarities between this man's voice and The Fine Young Cannibals singer- but at an octave lower. This comment is made in that I view them both as great powerful performers. My summary is "WOW".

[@GuadalupePicasso]

neil03152 he's more like 10 octaves lower than the guy from Fine Young Cannibals.

[@leeknocker1737]

neil03152 yeah I agree he sounds like Sidney Youngblood

[@JackWareingFilms]

Future Islands is great. Samuel Herring is awesome.

[@alanmcgarvey6505]

If I was there I'd be probably be thrown out for dancing on the tables at this stage. I F**king love them 😎

[@bernarda3856]

The most charismatic frontman to come around in a long time

[@rdelamora1968]

he sings with a lot of feeling...the best.......like

[@claireclaire1187]

Je ne. Connaissais pas ce groupe j'en suis fan ! Extraordinaire , cela sort de l'ordinaire ( le chanteur , grand talent ) le bassiste imperturbable avec classe !! Et les autres quel talent aussi !!!! Quel plaisir de les entendre . Le chanteur pour moi est un homme qui souffre , je ne connais pas sa langue c'est pour cela que c'est difficile de juger et de le comprendre étant française , quand il se tape la poirine celà exprime quoi. ?? Seul Lui le sait !!!!!! je Suis enchantée et je les écoute trés souvent . Adieu """"""" j'espére que vous prendrez le temps de me lire bravo le chanteur 😘

[@FUTUREISLANDSFANS]

Cette chanson est sur un ruisseau qui existait derriére son école primaire, où il avait l'habitude de jouer en rentrant chez soit. Il commence pour décrire ce paysage et des images de son enfance, don't le titre "Back in the Tall Grass" - "De retour sur l'herbre haute" (l'herbre haute autour du ruisseau). Mais selon Herring, il l'a écrit dans un moment où il manquait quelqu'un très fort et sur le sentiment d'être souvent en voyage (en tournée). "I wanted you to know I was thinking about you" veut dire "Je voudrais que tu saches que j'étais en train de penser à toi" et le refrain "A long way from home" veut dire "très loin de chez nous". Quand il se tape la poitrine il est en train de demander "How did we get here?" - "Comment est-on arrivé ici?". C'est probable qu'il ne soit pas juste en train te parler de "ici" - loin de chez soi - lieu physique, mais "Comment est-on arrivé ici - dans cette rélation" - on n'est plus un foyer. La plupart des chansons de cet album on été écrites à la fin d'une longue rélation - une des plus significantes de sa vie - mais comme dans sa rélation précedente, ses longues absences à cause des tournées on causé de l'écart. Il sait que c'est de sa faute, et ça lui fait du mal.

[@shawnmims7534]

I didn't know Sam was in a band. I went to school with this guy. He was one the only how associated with me. Wow bro, good job!!

[@micahclawrence]

From North Carolina right? I think that's where he is from.

[@shawnmims7534]

@@micahclawrence yep. Newport NC

[@lewismughal6418]

First saw them on the Hootenanny and I was captivated, I've listened to some of their music on CD since and not a massive fan but I've watched a load of live stuff on KZbin and I love them!

[@icodlosvinos]

Fantastic, I am totally hooked................love his movements. Doesnt he look like a young Gladiator Russell Crowe

[@dirt5858]

he is idiot

[@icodlosvinos]

Don't know good music

[@dirt5858]

Mags Davis booooooo

[@dohmcg1380]

I saw them on the Hootenanny and was mesmerised. Been looking for this ever since, thanks for sharing!! Tender, tragic, intense and also strangely amusing. How many singers could get that all into one song?

[@brentpeterson5526]

singer is mesmerizing...

[@MrTemeris]

Fabulous, I love this Group. Fascinating and mesmerising.

[@heliopolis29]

[@IslingtonMunch]

Saw them last night at Brixton Academy 21/11/2017 they were only three handed and were Bang 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 the great Jools Holland show waited a long time to see them live really worth the wait *****

[@beanzy66]

really wanted to see this again. Thanks for posting, so emotive. true passion in their music. One of the many reasons hootenanny is my new year every year. hozier's version of domino too, let alone the amazing Rhiannon Giddens. I love this show.

[@beksinski]

The next Future Islands album really needs to be recorded live.

[@diesel1395]

[@HatlessMuffin]

Michael Johnston you mean new years night this was on live

[@loubest3935]

This is completely irrelevant but: FUN FACT! - the Hootenanny is actually not broadcasted live. It's pre-recorded, countdown and all, in like October or something.

[@esmeraldagarcia5788]

J'aime beaucoup, merci les artistes.

[@ScottBlade1889]

[@runrabbitrun4342]

how and the hell could anybody get into this, what do you want them to do anyhow, Its isn't like the song has a driving rhythm section, I could sleep to this crap.

[@ProfesserPlumb]

+River Saldono Well sorry it's not your cup of tea but no need to slag it off, if you don't like it why comment?

[@runrabbitrun4342]

Henri Plumb Well truthfully ,Im almost repulsed by this so called musical style. I Guess that's the reason its really quite comical

[@adaged306]

Best breakbeat ever at 2:12

[@MegaFlyingScotsman]

Guys a legend, class

[@kenblack9443]

[@ferdinand1357]

Nobody: Sam Herring: “Let’s jump like salmon”

Sam Herring's vocals remind me of Till Lindemann from Rammstein mixed with Bowie. Lol idk

[@monkeycrud]

Hugh who?

[@rustyboyo959]

Mr cool

[@SSHHABBA]

Sounds like ramstein

[@owlbeak3233]

god damn... 2:28 through 3:17 is lyrically, combined with his pantomiming + unblinking look into the camera, some real heavy shit.

[@rabit818]

Zombie audience. Future Islands rock.

[@chazalpha96]

Bass player looks like Sam Kinison, but screams a bit less.

[@johncrossan336]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWTJlH-Bbb6Vgbs {3.32} : Looks like Mick Jagger squeezing a fart out.

[@TheGBreytenbach]

Playing bass with piles is never pleasant

[@loungefly92]

Takes away from their show when the crowd's energy isn't vibrant.

[@MRAnonymous120]

Has he got diarrhoea or something?! Whats with all the lunging?! XD

[@MRAnonymous120]

+matthewperkins81 calm down jeez it was a joke
