Future Islands - Seasons (Waiting On You) (4AD Session)

[@doxies]

I've been listening to this song for 7 or 8 years and it never gets old - absolute gold - love it

[@richardcoles2432]

Same

[@Kveds]

I missed out on years of bliss! I’ve only just discovered these guys and I’m obsessed. Must see live 😍

[@seanb.4712]

Song is so upbeat and the lead singers passion is unsurpassed.

[@hightimesbruce]

4AD was probably like, "Sam, cut the death growls out for this one. We hired an orchestra." lol

[@MrRedbeatt]

hahahaha. :)

[@thomasbrooks9172]

Nah man, He tones it down for studio stuff. It's only the live performances does he give it his all. He knows what he's doing.

[@xandrewbrown]

I love the Cookie Monster moments he chucks in live - seems to rock the soul factor even more. Also ... pretty sure all the strings in the song are coming out of a box. The cello line at the end might have been real - but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

[@thomasbrooks9172]

I can tell when something like that gets manipulated in a song I listen to enough to know and I know for a fact that thous string sounds you hear are not part of the original track. I'm guessing Gerrit, the Synthesizer, Removed some notes from the track to allow the strings to sound more amped up.

[@xandrewbrown]

There's probably a way to find out for sure - but to me they don't even sound like sampler strings. They sound like pure synth. Doesn't really matter - its a great track.

[@nicolekemp2185]

2023 and I’m still listening. This song must be one of the best. It never gets old and it hits as hard each time as it did the first time. Unreal. ❤

[@Ahlhehxhandherh]

Hits you in the gut this somg

[@alanmcinnes9478]

I know what you’re saying people,,,,every now and then a song comes along that is absolutely wonderful and this is one of those songs…for some reason it touches your soul.

[@JohnBooth-qr7wp]

This song is beautiful and addictive at the same time... It was shown to me by my new girl. We're both like teenagers with our new found love. She is my Queen, my friend, my love, my Muse, and my World. This song embodys what and how were experiencing life...❤

[@ACobra289]

I have been listening to this song for a year and it never gets old.

[@HalfDayHero]

+ACobra289 solidly?

[@ACobra289]

lol Not on a 24 hour loop or anything but several times a week it comes up on my playlist I keep at work.

[@beetleything1864]

simply beautiful....

[@racheldelrosario6090]

Been listening to this for years, and still hasn't gotten old. Not one bit.

[@aknightwhosaysni2475]

Been listening many times since I heard it on Jools Holland show several years ago. Just brilliant

[@reneperez2126]

Great bass line

[@siempreinexorable]

Seasons change, And I tried hard just to soften you Seasons change, But I've grown tired of trying to change for you...

[@Fac323JQ]

Keep coming back to this track after all these years

[@brotherbrando]

Like viewing an 80s music video from an alternate dimension. Incredible

[@bhughes8301]

2023 and this song still rocks

[@davidhudson4542]

Love this song... couldn’t fully enjoy the first listen because I kept anticipating his growl voice... 100% pure emotion. This is music expressed and emoted purely as art. Very rare to see a band capture this. Timeless, I’ll be listening to this song for the rest of my life.

[@Frodoisagogo]

Saw them perform on Letterman. This band is going places. Period. 💃

[@AdrianPI]

This song is so great its beyond words I've loved it for years

[@kwesine]

Damn, this version has got me in tears! Those... goddamn...strings.

[@HERC66]

David Letterman posted a clip of your song on TikTok . I’ve never heard of your band before. You’ve gained a new fan! Thank you so much for your amazing music! WOW WOW WOW! I’m In love !! ❤

[@tonyshepherd6183]

Never heard this song in my life until it was used in the UK advert for Avios. Had to find out what it was. I'm now experiencing how brilliant this song is. Listen to it about 10 times a day at the moment. Fantastic. Love the bass in this.

[@MariaPratiwiU2]

U2's Bono calls 'Seasons (Waiting On You)' by Future Islands "a miracle" I love U2 and I love Future Islands.. that's it

[@TheFlyingExperience]

+Maria Pratiwi you HAVE to see them perform this song at glastonbury fest 2015. For some reason they removed it from here but its KICKASS

[@MariaPratiwiU2]

seatgurus I wish I could see them, I am not in US. I can only see their live performance in KZbin. I like them since 2014.

[@binarandi]

+Maria Pratiwi glasto is in uk

[@MariaPratiwiU2]

+Ghazi Binarandi I know, I mean they're from US and the fact that I'm not in US or UK so I probably will never see them live

[@garce7184]

Maria do not let anything stop you from a live show from these guy's..

[@chuck275]

This song is going to be the sound of summer 2021 when we are out of lockdown!

[@mckendrick4046]

It's been the sound of Summers since 2014..! Never gets old, this one.

[@BobbyDigital19822]

I listen to the song every day, and it never fails to make me joyful

[@lucyjones5292]

I am so diggin the orchestral accompaniment for an already beautiful song I just love these boys :-)

[@ceetronic]

Song of 2014. That bass is sick.

[@pamelakain4879]

God, I love this song.

[@jeffreyhadley2158]

Where have these guys been all my life - truly, truly amazing. Such an emotive voice, he lives every word - almost brings tears to my eyes.

[@권희철-d7e]

Titane 2021. And even better music. Toxicated by the voice, keyboard, drum and a small string team added. Perfect.

[@martinromero5330]

I discovered this song a couple of months back . I hear it at work over the intercom from time to time . I'm hooked on this song .

[@akie64]

only just seen this clip, simply stunning in every aspect, love the strings supporting the synths, wow powerful stuff, hard to keep my eyes dry!

[@runnerup9786]

Beautiful melody, great rhythm and a clever bass...with a charismatic frontman delivering the vocals....

[@bryanmcdonald7684]

Wow. He has passion. Freakin awesome! I was kinda shocked to learn he's also a great freestyle rapper.Good music is coming back.

[@timellis136]

Just beautiful. I want that bass line, all night long

[@richardcoles2432]

What a beautiful piece of music.

[@joeblow139]

Standing ovation…. Gr8 dong guys gre8 job Love this

[@ecmcsorley2011]

This is a masterpiece. Samuel is beautiful.

[@xavierbendle603]

Stunning track and amazing lead singer.

[@ultrastark1]

everything is masterclass performance here....the BELLISSIMO vocals, the orchestra, the musical arrangement....real nice dance tune

[@flyer92ify]

Probably the best live version I've heard and arguably better than the album version!

[@rleeroberts6350]

Seasons change And I tried hard just to soften you And seasons change But I've grown tired of trying to change for you 'Cause I've been waiting on you I've been waiting on you 'Cause I've been waiting on you I've been waiting on you As it breaks The summer will wake But the winter will wash what is left Of the taste As it breaks The summer will warm But the winter will crave what is gone Will crave what has all Gone away People change But you know some people never do You know when people change They gain a piece but they lose one too 'Cause I've been hanging on you I've been waiting on you 'Cause I've been waiting on you I've been hanging on you As it breaks The summer will wake But the winter will wash what is left Of the taste As it breaks The summer will warm But the winter will crave what is gone Will crave what is gone Will crave what has all Gone away 'Cause I've been waiting on you

[@sergiolobato1798]

I love this song! It's on the playlist of my life!

[@maximumdangerman1682]

2022 still has ability to give me goosebumps. Legends never die, this song won't

[@obed3113]

i can hardly believe that this song could be any better, but this session shows all the talent they have. I love the lyrics, the voice, the bassline, the violins, greetings from Mexico, hope they come soon

[@irisaparicio1976]

love

[@KevFL26]

My favorite live version of this song! People keep saying Samuel sounds like Tom Waits and Elton John but man I hear me some John Popper! And that base line is amazing; subtle and present at the same time. The last twenty seconds are my favorite when the bass strumming and strings come together!!

[@israelrocha9370]

Awesome!!! You guys rock. Wish you the best. You need to visit San Diego!!!!

[@batjdgman]

cant get enough of this song

[@paolasalinas5926]

[@patrociniochavez5198]

More! More! Super Fabulous and sensacional is 'For sure'; me encanto desde la primera vez que lo escuche en doble 9 (99.1) de Lima Perú!

[@livbatchelor4634]

There are so many contemporary artists I'd love to see write a new musical, and these guys are at the top of my list!!! The strings sealed it for me

[@edwarddevliniv4657]

Doesn't get any better ☺️ love love love

[@ivevelvet3541]

I love this song! the same style and swing of Bide ou Balde in the song (Mesmo que mude ) I love Bide ou Balde ♥

[@KungaPalyah]

This was really different...no growls, no moves 😉 This sounded beautiful though, music & vocals. His vocal range is amazing.

[@gaboshinche]

[@billwhitmer9766]

Karl from Sling Blade is singing!!

[@leightonlee4108]

how can a song and singer haunt you lift you make you cry laugh get angry be empathetic all in a few minutes credit to you sam

[@dudleyburrow]

He almost sounds different in this performance. A little quieter and less gutteral. The bass line really hammers on this one and the orchestra... wow.

[@MsJedeyeKnight]

I really like this song (heard it on Music Choice Indie channel)....wish it had a longer "intro" though. :)

[@rleeroberts6350]

Just found out about this band...and discovered the lead singer is all about hip-hop . Fukkin trippy and kool.
