Future Islands - Give Us the Wind (Official Music Video)

[@Denizen-Unknown]

Genuinely one of the greatest songs ever written, secretly tucked away from the world.

[@christinashet]

This song can be played both during the birth and the death of someone. That's how powerful it is

[@romanmarshall602]

And every second inbetween

[@percival8193]

What’s the difference again ?

Future Islands is by far my favorite band of the new millennia. I've been a fan for 3 years and it is as astonishing to me now as it was when I first started listening. If you ever get the opportunity to see them live you should absolutely do so,as it is one of the best live shows that I have ever been to. I can't wait for them to come back to the NYC area so I may have to plan a road trip to see them next time they perform on the east coast.

"We set out to find something to hold When seeking truth the answer is the road When seeking wisdom the journey is your home Fight through the wind, fight through the rain Fight through the cold..." Give us the wind ♥

[@rollinface87]

There are way more lyrics than this

[@chelseahernandez4926]

We set out to find something to hold When seeking truth the answer is the road When seeking wisdom the journey is your home Fight through the wind, fight through the rain Fight through the cold We left ourselves behind on dancing wire The loved ones we left back home will be our choir Let the doubters be the stick, the thorn, the brier Fight through the wind, fight through the rain Dance in the fire Don't bless me No, don't bless me We don't want your blessings Don't bless me We don't want your blessings Give me the pen Give me the sword Let me cut away the darkness, and pin it to the wall Let us sing a song of beauty as before Give us the wind, give us the wind Give us the storm Pushing back the lake We found something more Like a song in a word Like the heartbreak of birds And there, beneath the sand Looking like the rain We found some God And the will to change We set out to find something to hold When seeking truth the answer is the road When seeking wisdom the journey is your home Fight through the wind, fight through the rain Fight through the cold Give me the pen, give me the sword Let me cut away the darkness, and pin it to the wall Let us sing a song of beauty as before Give us the wind, give us the wind, give us the storm

[@GUTSO10]

THANK YOU 🙏🌺

[@Simpleton983]

There you go...EPIC! We set out to find something to hold When seeking truth the answer is the road When seeking wisdom the journey is your home Fight through the wind, fight through the rain Fight through the cold We left ourselves behind on dancing wire The loved ones we left back home will be our choir Let the doubters be, The stick, the thorn, the briar Fight through the wind, fight through the rain Dance in the fire Don't bless me No, don't bless me We don't want your blessings Don't bless me We don't want your blessings Give me the pen Give me the sword Let me cut away the darkness, and pin it to the wall Let us sing a song of beauty as before Give us the wind, give us the wind Give us the storm ...2X Pushing back the lake We found something more Like a song In a word Like the heartbreak of birds And there, beneath the sand Looking like the rain We found some god And the will to change We set out to find something to hold When seeking truth the answer is the road When seeking wisdom the journey is your home Fight through the wind, fight through the rain Fight through the cold Don't bless me No, don't bless me Don't bless me We don't want your blessings Don't bless me No, don't bless me Don't bless me We don't want your blessings We don't want your blessings Give me the pen Give me the sword Let me cut away the darkness, and pin it to the wall Let us sing a song of beauty as before Give us the wind, give us the wind Give us the storm.

Simpleton gr8 band..

[@Luke-cecilpod]

Truly stunnning

[@jennyrodriguez3077]

I think I'm falling in love with this band's sensibility. Every lyrics does tell something worthy to hear and makes you feel so greatly weak.

[@1981rebeccaK]

I'm finally getting to see them in June for my Birthday. Heard this song today on the radio and tears just poured out of me. Couldn't be more relevant to my life currently and needing to raise myself up for once and loving me. ❤

[@tonyher1988]

this song hits deep. Seeing them may 12 at the fox!

[@WILLGRAYY]

One of my all time favorite bands to see live. I’ve gone 3 times lol

[@aaronpetry6730]

They are great! Glad you enjoy this music like myself. This is what separates us from most. We are blessed

[@oozes4448]

Hope ya'll enjoyed their show. It's a great ol' time init. Who opened? We had Dan Deacon.. who at first was wayyyyy out there, but ya'know what- He's actually pretty good 😅 (Getting covid during their show was well worth it 😂)

[@stephaniek4640]

I recently stumbled across this band and my oh my lord am I ever happy I did!

[@darionduncan3204]

I humbly welcome you

[@bj0lly]

this song takes me back to the most magical time in my life

[@johnwhite6913]

Saw them at Brighton November 2022. One of the best bands I have seen.

[@EvilJohnny37]

This is the best band. Ever. Saw them live for the first time last night. I loved them before and then Sam came and hung out with us for half an hour before going on stage. Amazing man. Amazing music.

[@JAMILABISMILAH]

wow, how the hell could i miss this! i love it 9:39am 20.04.2023 it's been 11 years ago huh, love you brothers! love you jamila alot! tnx mr kiddo for introducing me to future islands at all

[@timoneil2713]

wow... wow... and wow... I keep reading posts mimicking my experience :)... I stumbled onto this band and now I am hooked... they are amazing!!! Thank you, David Letterman!! lol...

[@aaronpetry6730]

So much love in this song. So strong. Give me something i can work with. 💪🏾 we dont want your "BLESSINGS" our hearts speak to God. No help needed

[@NCWildHeART]

This is the one that reminds me of that summer the most. ❤

[@Jabullz]

This song has been on repeat during any down time I have for a good 3 days now. I cannot believe this song exists, its insanely too good. I just can't say enough good things about it.

[@Jabullz]

Hi me. Yep, 8 years later and this song is still killing it. How amazing, I was 25 when I wrote that and even with how cynical I've become I still completely agree.

[@fuzzyweapon]

@@Jabullz I so agree. I think I was around 24-25 when I first heard this song...it's been about 10 years. I agree with your comments 100%...even the cynicalness. I think there's a tragic beauty in every song on this album, and so they are relatable in so many different ways and times.

[@U_quidnunc]

How’s everyone doing now? A lot has changed since i stumbled upon this. A lot of loss and a new beginning. I used to skate to this and reminds me of youth and people who are with you for the moment. Cherish it. Love ✌🏾

[@Sogonrei]

This song just came through I can't believe I gave missed it being a big fan..I am dealing with some bad weather right now in my life and this song was so soothing like a bedtime story ended with a precious prayer. Thank you, I needed it like water in a desert.

[@sarajones6046]

Absolutely love future islands. My favourit in fact. Their lyrics are beautiful

[@graemekinslow9789]

I've listening to these guys for a while ....I a Band called White Lies ..Check em out 😊

[@DC-bf2sd]

I first heard of future islands when they was on jools holland here in the u.k then a month later they did Glastonbury and I have been a massive fan ever since and when they come back to the u.k I shall be first in que for a ticket

[@VictorNightengale]

Every new future islands song i hear is amazing. I love his voice. All the songs are so different, what an amazing band.

[@haritharahman3281]

This song is so moving

[@anattaish]

This song is incredibly beautiful, I just get some sort of floating and bliss state everytime I hear it.

[@MariaPratiwiU2]

Playing more Future Islands to get rid of my headache...

[@bleachvisionTV]

Maria Pratiwi considering your name, sorry but are you Indonesian?

[@Nick-p5v]

May those after us find this and may we find redemption in our ways.... This may be the most powerful music ive ever heard.

[@zombee8466]

Greatest new voice I've heard in years, and in combination with the music it's just freakin' awesome!

[@brandonwilliamson2]

That's every one of their songs. It's their style. Turns some people off, but others (including myself) love it.

[@franklingiraldo2268]

When i think i have all my favs from them a new one keeps coming...wonderful.!!

[@rosagala7865]

BUENISIMOS. Ayer gran concierto en Madrid. Grandes!!!

[@puppetken]

This band is great and the lead singer has his own style of voice its great!

[@311Rinse]

I actually teared up a bit when I heard this song live. Genius!

[@jamiesullivan4364]

So I'm a death metal percussionist and I never thought I'd be into something like this you guys rock it out man great sound your vocalist man crazy what a show great front man it's just more of that creepy low-end dinosaur vocals though

[@NCWildHeART]

Just a masterpiece 🤗🥰

[@fhowland]

Man that bass sounds SO good

[@Ryebanana]

Best song on their album! Can't wait for the new one to be released. Not sure how accurate the tour dates above are as they're in Manchester UK in May!

[@Slaneous]

Love this track. Brilliant!

[@guntherarlt3024]

[@LAUZERTV]

Simply Great! Something quite special about Future Islands ;D

[@Salpe8177]

Why am i crying? o_o

[@songyiworld]

me 2, friend

[@philipbeisel9756]

They are a magic band that’s why, they create sounds which invoke feelings of emotion. Truly the definition of music.

[@АлександрБулашев-т6к]

Fucking ninja cut onion bro.

[@malcolmbooth5656]

A band to chill too and get deep man xxx

[@nolanwinkler]

Beautiful song. Would love to see a video of just the band doing it. I think Samuel T. Herring is enough entertainment we need in a video.

[@watcherunknown981]

He definitely has stage presence

[@DechantMusic]

Damn! every song is good. got my eye and ear on these cats!

[@marioabr]

Me gusta, se queda corto para expresar lo que me hace sentir la música de Future Islands !!

[@stevenlevin85]

Samuel T. Herring is the best singer I've heard in a decade. Future Islands is one of those groups whom I , in a way, hope stay somewhat obscure. because I want to treasure them selfishly.

[@sendark001]

this song blew my mind live.

[@MontenegroViseu]

Fabulosa musica e video!!

[@matheussilva360_]

[@pingugnip8913]

fucking amazing music and lyrics!

[@natewalker7064]

He rocks that tucked in shirt I'm not a hipster look!

[@Jasonnapier100]

!!! - totally agree with your comment - !!!

[@Schwartzhund]

Goddamn I wish their tour took a brief stop in WV. I know I'm alone in this, but I love this this band sooooooo much and really need to move out of this hellhole. :)

[@mikethebike44]

stop (everything) just enjoy and embrace it. you (like) the song but its all (wrong). get a grip. you either like it or you don't. Someone as talented as they are have a very specific focus.

[@klaudiajulia6209]

[@jordanellington5555]

arkansas here. and i'm in your same boat....

[@Pp8292_]

soooooooooooooooo f'img gooooooood

[@BigBrotherBlog]

He was good live @ FreeFest2012

[@skypup77]

The first time my friend played me this band I said the singer sounds like a cross between Miss Piggy and Tom Waits. Ive grown to love them though.

[@iant88888888]

18 people got wind and didnt like it, they had to buy some deflatine.

[@NikoSitaras]

All you music lovers-Check out my band Paper Days on Facebook! Our first EP is being released soon! Facebook.com/PaperDaysMusic Ps. Future islands is beyond amazing

[@earthtorin]

Meatloaf and Bowie should keep making babies;)

[@yarnf]

That's exactly what i was thinking, I really like the song but the mixing (to me) is all wrong (again, to me). The best song i can think of to compare that's well mixed (to me) is Don't Say by Sleepy Jackson. Nevermind the song, I think if it was more mixed like that it would be amazing (in my opinion).

[@makra21]

Barack Obama at 0:07

[@andrewbrierley8954]

Jackson Brierley said good song

[@lornasawyer9178]

I'm sure that this song is a great one but it keeps cutting in and out. I love this band -- Future Islands. "Give Us the Wind" song. Play it another time, please. Thanks.

[@dariomargeli6658]

Thrill Jockey, next time get them a better "mixing". Beautiful arrangement but I can't hear the lead vocals

[@Denizen-Unknown]

Not supposed to. Their intentionally distant. Sam Herring once referred to it as "Having ghosts in the music"

[@regissanfelice2914]

Did u ever?

[@diletantenonchalant7]

I'm feeling tragic like I'm Marlon Brando

[@Pp8292_]

he looks like brando in the shadows

[@tomshoot]

Pearl.

[@hungarianpartyanthems9334]

That Paypal advert is so fucking patronising to people who are overweight. I thought I couldn't hate Paypal any more than I already did.....

[@joshualuke7003]

I've just come across this band and I can't decide if I like them or not because the songs themselves seem great if not for the horribly affected, pretentious vocals. I just checked interviews of the vocalist and he has a generic American accent so I honestly don't get why he insists on singing like a faux-English butler being exorcised. I'm not trying to be a dick, I find it genuinely frustrating.

[@shucksful]

Because, he can....That's why!! lol. That's the only reason, anyone needs... Do you think the Beatles were singing in American accents? Well, ,, They weren't singing in a British one! Point made?

[@joshualuke7003]

There's a huge difference between singing with fluidity and completely changing your accent, tone and inflection to something unnatural and affected. And The Beatles DO sing as close to their natural accents as the flow of a song will allow.

[@MissStratosphere]

I dunno, I mean he COULD just sing it normally and I'm sure it would be well and good, but I just don't think it would be the same. Maybe it's pretentious, but I've grown to love his vocals, they're refreshing and I never now how he's going to sing the next verse, it's usually not what I think it will be, and I think that's wonderful. I've listened so much that I've grown a deep appreciation for it and would be terribly disappointed if he just started singing it like most people would. Maybe give it some time, and see how you feel after you've listened for a while. I found it strange and unnecessary at first too.

[@Crazykye321]

Cool story brah.

[@tautliners]

He's doing his best to speak in a clear English accent that everyone can understand. Unlike the lazy american mumbled drawl that most of us struggle to understand what the hell they are saying most of the time.
