Future Islands - Grease (Official Music Video)

[@juanitomidzhasfun2674]

Future islands is my #1

[@kevinhawkey11]

Music; it’s so incredible how one song can touch a person so deeply that it seems to alter the path of your life. What I think about sometimes is how many incredible songs exist that I never have access to simply because I just never cross paths with them… I never would have found Future Island if not for reading an article where Bono of U2 says they are his new favorite band (several years ago) so of course, I checked them out. Mesmerizing. Hypnotic. Raw. Honest. Like rain; how it can make you feel - introspective and melancholy but hopeful too. Like a rainbow. Not to get crazy. Grease is the best song from FI I have heard. The bass line is so haunting. And the pace of the song. I wait the whole song for the climactic key change that we all know is coming. And then it does and you kinda feel rewarded. Everyone’s comments are all so true and inspiring to see that I’m not alone in recognizing simple greatness. Maybe not a complete body of work but definitely lots of rays of it, and this Track for me is the pinnacle so far that I’ve heard. What are we without passion?

[@mishkathlay]

Intense. It just keeps getting better the more you discover of these guys. Transformative.

Lyrics: We've been here before In a gravel lot, by the back door. We move the same, We say the same things, And the same song plays on the radio. Time for the show, And the road was long and slow, And I'm growing old. I was a boy not long ago. What happens to youth? What happened to truth? What happened to me? This song won't change a thing. No, but the people want it all; The dancing bear, the bouncing ball.. Oh, I hope they want it all, Or the same song plays on the radio. Time for the show, And the road was long and slow, And I'm growing old, And the highways take a toll. Time for the show, And the road was long and slow, And I'm growing old. I was a boy not long ago.

4:02 has this gut wrenching trigger of my most deepest emotions to come spilling out in these uncontrollable tears... But I LOVE it, it's pain, it hurts, it's beautiful. The entire song is such an in your face reality check of time, life, and all the tiny moments of beauty we let pass by so insignificantly.

[@Jasenspeed401]

Well said! Summed it up perfectly.

[@Bobcaygeon-1]

For me it comes at the end of "Walking Through That Door"

[@fmj45]

yea that snowy van scene is a real gut wrencher. this is meaning of life in 5min. my take away is to pay more attention to the now and less about the past or future.

[@TeamPhooz]

sitting here crying my eyes out. It will hit you hard if you are dealing with certain things in life.

[@klodster]

Thank you damian you are my hero

[@wendyhurtado1826]

You're not alone

[@DefCurator]

:)

[@jackbauer8057]

Absolute masterpiece 🥺

[@matthewsnyder674]

First the song, then the video. The sense of an ending, and the feelings engendered within: Future Islands absolutely nailed it.

[@nicksendelbach]

First heard of them from the "Inch of Dust" song that was played on an episode of Shameless. Loved the On the Water album so much I had to catch one of their shows. Saw them in August 2014 at Mr. Smalls Theater in Pennsylvania. Was right up front and they blew me away. Started going to see a lot more live music after that show. To this day I get tears in my eyes from this song.

[@m.s.g1890]

Never see this song on Future Islands best of lists on the net. . . Crazy, it's the best for me by a mile

[@182lukas]

Me too! What a wonderful song. I have always loved "I found you" song but this? This is the most beautiful song from Future islands!😄

[@cpstacey1]

One of the best filmed music videos I have seen....kudos to those who filmed it. So prescient, so young...

[@All4YouSophia]

This song is incredible. I get chills every time I listen to it.

[@Lorin739]

A travesty this song only has 22,000 views. Most people in the world that would truly love and appreciate this song will never even hear it.

[@blakebeverly84]

My thoughts exactly. I discovered them on a local college station and instantly fell in love.

[@allisonfrances7130]

+Lorin Hanks I've heard it, feel so lucky to have found them :)

[@andersvestin7330]

True words. Makes me wonder how many gems there are out there, that I haven't heard of, and probably never will...

[@karasuill7935]

255,000 now:)

[@sarahmthompson96]

I wish that I could go back in time and listen to this song for the very first time again, it's simply wonderful.

[@cafecaro]

Blown away. Just really speaks to a part of the music industry that nobody sees. More than that it's metaphorical. Amazing.

[@JorgeBzrr]

cafecaro that's what I thought while I watched this video. And people can say that there is a lot of videos about it, but I can't remember right now one so beautiful and with a song so magic as "Grease".

[@zakarycampbell105]

I saw them recently here in Reno, and they blew me away. They didn’t play this song unfortunately, it’s my favorite one! But he did grab my hand while he was rocking out and crying at the same time. What a truly amazing performance they put on

[@LittleLadhops]

Every time I hear this song I think about how great it would be if a live performance were included in the Twin Peaks revival, not appearing as themselves, just some nameless band playing a club. Not only does it capture the atmosphere of the show (i.e. an affinity for the bass), but just think about how fitted Sam's animated stage presence is for David Lynch's universe. They're perfectly copacetic. Cool idea to think about.

[@bootpolo12]

Amazing

[@aaronrazz9676]

.. Still here 2024.. love these guys!

[@allisonfrances7130]

Keep returning to view this, so touching & heartfelt, love this song.

[@juarezmercante7052]

Abriram em Leipzig/DE, 27/10/22, com esta música. Foi demais !!!!

[@MariaPratiwiU2]

I think this is the best official video from Future Islands,

[@MariaPratiwiU2]

+Mark Riley of course, feels like I was the one who hold camera and record the scenes

[@highhorse3139]

+Maria Pratiwi It's very nice. I like their videos as much as their hauntingly beautiful melodies and lyrics.

[@MariaPratiwiU2]

+highhorse313 me too, I like all their songs, very addictive, my most favorite is Doves ;)

[@SandraLovesSun]

Hi Maria! I see you on Twitter and here. Neat. Yes! I made a comment about that to FI on Twitter and they liked it, so that was cool. Everything about this - the lyrics, the video, the instrumentation. Amazing.

[@RichardJBroderick]

I don't know why but that made me laugh I don't think they take their videos seriously at all I'm not keen on the album singles i do however like light house of course I know you have listened to in evening air, wave like home and on the water, you really think there is a better song than heart grows old ?

[@BeAnToWn51]

loveeeee ittttttt! mannnnnnn, i love this band. COME BACK TO BOSTON. IT'S BEEN TOO LOOOONGGGG

[@JohnSchaeferUNIVERSE]

CRIED SO HARD WHEN I SAW THEM LAST NIGHT

[@Haleria]

How... I am speechless... Not from this planet... Just love you!

[@QuinnStelle123]

You ever listen to a song and go “ I have no idea what they’re saying, but for whatever reason I just feel that this song really relates to me”? This is one of those songs

[@robayala3167]

First listened to this song when I was 15, now I’m 22 almost 23..so much has happened, so much has changed,so much has crumbled.regardless, there’s so much beauty in all of it . But these highways take a toll..

[@SwitcherooU]

Blink your eyes a couple times, and you'll be 30, then 40. What happened? I was a boy not long ago. I still FEEL like a boy. “A baby holds your hands, and then, suddenly, there’s this huge man lifting you off the ground, and then he’s gone. Where’s that son?”

[@alicea6848]

Beautiful piece of art

[@summerwonder101]

Holy shit. I just listened to it for the first time. I can't. I can't even. It's AMAZING.

[@erasmolopez9433]

Esta cancíón es excelente, no puedo dejar de escuchar a FI.

[@Tendervittle]

[@manuellopes3759]

Música de outra galáctica que me põe a sonhar, consegue entrar até nos nossos ossos

[@herbiethehippie6792]

Sam this is Herbie from Salter Path. I really like this song about touring! If you guys get close by I'd love to come see y'all play!

[@elielfer]

Future islands vcs são demais.....amo vcs ;e este clip ficou massa.linda esta musica.BRAZIL.

[@regisdumortier3627]

Underrated band

[@manuellopes3759]

Dá vontade de chorar

[@cristhianpacheco8079]

Obra maestra...!!!

[@Ogcrazylizard]

"I was a boy not long ago" It's hard to judge someone. Impossible to know their life story. Thinking it's only been two years. That's not much time. True it isn't much time. Which is surprising. When did this boy become so much wiser than most men. How? As a few grown men have seen me talk. Awe in their faces.

[@012345butch]

like heaven

[@mrms1]

TOP. Adoro estes gajos! Muito fã!

[@bobblakey1246]

mooooody wow brill

Tremenda rola.

[@camilala863]

make me rich soul really thank you are a warmth that my heart lost and finds every time you sound. is beautiful, beautiful feel warm a sweetness like honey itself full of blessings every note

[@kiloohm]

Sounds better live. Your recording "artist" is def. Sounds like my neighbor is playing it. Lovely song, came here to jam.

[@adamwilliams134]

How am I only just discovering this

[@terrywachter]

Wouldn't be out of place on Bowie's "Low".

[@stephaniea.7350]

my goodness, this song makes me so sad.

[@tremoloobjectivist5559]

this song makes me hate that time goes on.

[@yavuzcancetin1361]

cool

[@usedfuzzbox]

It's Futrure Islands, whats not to like?

[@damnluckyfiredancer]

wOw. it's like dracula talking to you.

[@manuellopes3759]

Tenho medo de morrer, pelo motivo de não a ouvir mais

[@MyLittleVoicee]

It's Peter Gabriel meets Arcade Fire Bliss

[@DarrenBates]

I've always thought it was like if Underworld, Peter Hook and the late Joe Dolan ever came together to form a supergroup.

[@marubasilaen679]

HOLY LAND

[@marubasilaen679]

JESUS

[@marubasilaen679]

Ledsen

[@billiejthoms]

Who else thinks this sounds like the "Twin Peaks" theme?

[@magdalenas_r]

yes style of the guitar def and now the new twin peaks has chromatics songs and listen to that band too, similar vibes

[@jon692354]

I think this the song from the road to the limit whit the drive...

[@jon692354]
