That movie had a lot of unforgettable scenes but that one really stuck with me.

[@lucinhas]

I’m so glad my first time hearing this song was through Titane. That scene made me feel feelings I’ve rarely ever felt from a movie. Every time I listen to this song, I get somewhat taken back to those feelings i felt during that scene

[@ChannelZero1031]

SAME! When i hear this, i think of how different they both were, yet how close they get. It was a gorgeous movie about finding love and the struggle for it all the while our identities a total mess.

[@mummyjohn]

make it three. Something...truly new and indescribable about the whole experience of the second half of the movie, and this is the pivotal part. Can't relate it to anything else, it just felt so genuine

Can't deal with how good this song is. And how underrated Future Islands are.

Is since 2006, and by suggestions of KZbin i find in too late 2022 ☹️ but now i recommend it to everyone that I can 😊

2023 this song still bangs. This band/performance/filming is amazing. I remember reading an interview, the man wanted to write music that would stand the test of time. I think he nailed it.

[@occamsblunderbuss7920]

I was watching a French movie stoned, a track hits my ears, I come here and then I have one of the greatest musical experiences of my existence. Having never heard this song before is like not knowing the Grand Canyon exists and seeing it for the first time. What a masterpiece.

[@ChicoInmortal]

TITANE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗

[@sentinela8775]

I've lost my dad, recently. Previously I had lost my older brother and my mother. It's not easy. This song helps me a lot. I hold tight to music for it's the only honest and sincere of coping with feelings without having to talk about it. Thank you, future islands. I don't want to die anymore.

[@ValJesternity]

Grandparents died this year. They raised me. The person i could call a Friend took his.life last week. I felt lonely all my lire, now i'm just alone. What keeps me standing now is my bike, my beers and this fracking band. Best regards. All my love to future islands enthousiasts and lonely Lost people in here. I Hope you are well OP

[@tidbit5007]

Yup in 5 years time i lost my dad, oldest brother and mom to. Every day u think what the hell just happened. Life continues but the gap stays.. His music comforts me greatly.

[@1992jamo]

I fear the day I'll lose my dad. I lost my step dad and that was painful enough.

My husband and I are “celebrating” our champagne anniversary at home. Fourteen years on the 14th of this month. What better way to get us started? We got dressed up as if we were going out for our usual Keg dinner, but we are staying home, drinking champagne and listening to your GENIUS! Thank you 🙏🏻💜💕🇨🇦

This song reminds me of losing my best friend who I loved very much. Last night I was in a dark place, and this song came through my first time hearing it, it really helped comfort me, and I prayed and felt better. Thank you. All your music is cathartic. And your dancing is lit! I love dancing. But right now I'm Illin'

This was the first Future Islands song I heard, someone used it over top of a bunch of clips from Star Trek oddly enough. I loved it so much I had to find out who it was. Still my fave song by them.

youtube showed me this bud 4 days ago and ty, from the brilliant live performances of this singer whose lyrics and voice are truly hypnotic, to the synth and bass driven music i am hooked and so are many of my friends who i’ve shown this amazing group

[@basserphil]

4AD please release this truly beautiful session on cd/amazon/iTunes as the songs sound so panoramic...and please "If" "Future Islands" ever do anything like this again, could you please let me sit at the back and just watch and listen??

[@KungaPalyah]

Lighthouse...his voice! Love it!

[@Astrokittens]

William Cashin is one of my absolute favourite bass players. Future Islands would be so different without him. They use such sparse but brilliant synth and guitar riffs that his basslines always CARRY every song they have. He doesnt necessarily do anything too crazy but he always finds the absolute perfect bassline to complement the song and the tone to match. A genius.

[@oliv5721]

I heard this song in a Titane movie scene and it's amazing.

The show was sold out in red deer Alberta - I stood outside of the club and listened deeply to this perfection wishing I was in front of the band. Beautiful song

[@BM-lw6gn]

Only just come across this band. Before long I was up in my house alone dancing- not sure the neighbour will think given HM Queen died here in Scotland. Noneless- superb music. God save the King

[@SIVAYUAN]

Reminds me of "The National" :) Great Song!

Great to see these videos from the studio and see that, even if not dancing and 'performing' for us, Samuel T. still puts forth that emotion.
