Cookie Monster

Sounds retarded

[@drumraine6910]

Sam's such a unique performer, almost daring us to laugh as he tears his heart to pieces. Gotta love him.

[@loufuddrucker391]

drumraine wonderful

[@drumraine6910]

Josh : edited to 'unique' but 'spectacular' certainly applies.

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Great Observation

[@sixty-nine3574]

They are laughing because he looks like a fucking moron. I dig the dancing, but, their is no denying how stupid it looks to people who aren’t already fans

[@angelaburroughs6244]

drumraine he’s definitely wild. Great song and performance. That’s how you keep the crowd going

[@JJGerrard1980]

You either completely love Future Islands with your whole soul or you just don't know them yet.

Or maybe a person just is a musician, vocalist, and has standards that are above Down syndrome

THATS a front man!

A sublime mashup of a young Brando, Cookie Monster AND Grover. Pretty amazing.

Who would have thought a little song from Future Islands could affect me physically, mentally, and emotionally as it does, and I only discovered them by accident 6 months ago. Yes No Name Astonishing, hypnotic performance

[@extropiantranshuman]

Astonishing, hypnotic performance. He's a force of nature. Don't ever change.

I've loved this song for years but have never seen Future Islands til today. Passion personified. I'm breathless and speeches after watching this. The singer is my new favorite person.

[@ianbell7342]

mine too they are fantastic . and ive seen some bands in my time . these beats them all ❤

[@erick3842008]

so I'm at home watching MTV, ok the normal MTV crap was playing, until Jools Holland put Future Islands on there, I kept watching, but then something happened,...Herring Started to dance, it was weird at first, but then I kept watching, He started to sing, and that was it, I know that I was watching something really special. I compare this with the first time I saw Bono from u2, this is HUGE! This band is the Mother load! I'm in baby, all the way I hope they come California so I can go see them. I'm in! count me in

[@creekmud2857]

I was watching the David Letterman show when I first saw these guys I felt the exact same feeling!

[@adderon7476]

They do have the U2 effect...thought the same thing the first time I saw The Walkmen perform at a tiny club with no A/C in Seattle in 2002

[@eugenekeher978]

I love their music , he certainly puts it all in , superb band .

[@stevenewer1]

Amazing for so many reasons . The drummer is cool and in the moment .. the keyboardist has head down and concentrates to create that quirky wavering synthesiser sound .. the bass player reminds me of random dudes in holland in 89..with a 70 s haircut ... and the front man is just brilliantly insane ... I can honestly say I've never seen anything like his moves ..total and utter loonacy that only John Cleese could rival. brilliant .. just brilliant ..it made my new years eve

[@stjames71]

Martine Is that David's brother? He have a tv show, also?

[@seefeelsixtynine]

[@ashplaysandlolzords4855]

fucking brilliant the lead singer is fucking mental and the guy on bass is just there like fuck my life

[@silentjob]

pissed myself at the bassist comment

[@deflime]

Lol, this is accurate. If you watch the clip when they were on David Letterman, there's the point where the lead is about to go full-demon, and the bassist has an epic look on his face of: ffs, here it comes...

My fave band since 2015 and still are in 2017. Saw them perform at the Enmore in Sydney on 4th Dec 2017. Absolutely brilliant. The crowd was in awe and gave a 10 minute standing ovation when this song finished. Sam Herring looked stunned as he stood on the stage with the band being drowned in huge applause . He said " thank you Sydney that was fucking awesome".

I didnt even have shazam so I was FIGHTING to find it with the 2 lines of lyrics Id remembered. So glad i did 😭❤️
