Future Islands - The Moon Is Blue (Colourbox)

[@nineamulets7689]

You got to see and hear them live!

[@DiscovrTV]

the synth line on this is mesmerising everything on this beautiful

[@ivot1973]

Feel these hands that Shake this world Then try to understand When the light shines down And the time goes slowly When my mind's in the dusk Scorched and dying There's a pain in my hand Inscribed to the sad and lonely Now I feel so cold and alone Thinking how long Now if you had told me She'll be coming back And if you had told me The clock was gonna fall And if you had shown me Some affection I would have believed you Don't tell me the moon is blue (Now you've let me go) Coz tonight it's over (Now you've let me go) Now the pain is in the dust (Now you've let me go) And you can't find your blue moon (Now you've let me go) Now it's over, oh Tonight it's over The pain was a shot One, that couldn't be both ways And tore my world apart I could have feeled that moon so deep But you wouldn't understand Don't tell me the moon is blue (Now you've let me go) Coz tonight it's over (Now you've let me go) Now the pain's in the dust (Now you've let me go) And you can't find your blue moon (Now you've let me go) Now it's over, oh Tonight it's over, ooh Tonight it's over, oh Over Tonight it's over, ooh Ooh Tonight it's over Oh oh over

Sam's voice is incredible , and the band makes wonderful sound scapes. They are masterful

[@karlduffey8597]

Not his lyrics. It's a cover to mark the 40th anniversary for the record label

[@andregordon2599]

@@karlduffey8597 I stand corrected!

[@karlduffey8597]

@@andregordon2599 Not that we'd truly know if we didn't look into it as I very much agree with you, the way Sam delivers them with such honesty makes it seem like they're his words. More evidence as if it was needed that these guys are masters of their craft.

brilliant cover...been a COLOURBOX fan since the early 80's...cheers!!

[@kathrynal7162]

I’ve not long discovered Future Islands... oh my, I’m well and truly blown away. Every song is amazing and I can’t listen to anything else!! Hats off to you Future Islands. You guys are phenomenal 🙂

Some random memory made me search for this Colourbox song. I missed this, oh my god this is special. Boom boom boom

top line.... just a great song 🎸💯👍👍

Bits and pieces of electronic pop and blues from the past 60 years collected and put to a king's voice

[@trinapaniagua2377]

Absolutely one of the greatest bands EVER 🙌

[@garybyzewski5881]

Disagree

[@NOYOUSHUTUP3.14]

This is a "Bond" soundtrack waiting to happen.

[@tims287]

Yes! Fits perfectly!

[@smithmanish]

Yeah if Bond becomes good again

[@NOYOUSHUTUP3.14]

@@smithmanish Bond was good?

[@timdickson171]

why not the Colourbox original ?

[@benshaw7993]

Yeah it would have to be the original. Bond singers are always female I’m pretty sure.

[@BillGuy]

I'm 51 fucking years old, and yeah, they've never recorded a bad song. NPR, knowing badass musicians and David Letterman turned me on to them. Keep on

[@MJubeily]

Why would you say your age? Music is loved by people of all ages.

[@BillGuy]

@@MJubeily why not?

[@ernielord9960]

I’m 51 also, and came from the same stock. Reminds me of the Goth/Pop of the 80s

[@kathryn8304]

I'm 53 soon & hubbie is 62 this yr and we love these guys !! we have a large & varied array of music. We first saw Future Islands on the Jools Holland show and were captivated by their sound, the moves of Sam & now we are hooked 🎵🎶👌🏼👁👄👁🤘🏼🎶🎵👨🏻‍🎤🎸🎹🥁😎❤💘❤✨💋 Age shall not weary us LOL

[@petermash4825]

@@ernielord9960 It is an 80s tune after all. They do it well.

[@libertyjo6238]

Mmm!!!! Love this so much!!!! Thank you!!! Just in time!!! 🎀🌺🎀

[@Luke-cecilpod]

My favourite band of all time every song they write is an evolution from there last.

[@timdickson171]

point of order - it's a cover version - listen to the Colourbox original version from 1985 (also on 4AD)

[@SofiaR298]

I AGREE!!

[@maplenpancakes]

Another amazing masterpiece. You guys are incredibly talented. Love you so much!

[@Staci603]

Listing to Future Islands is a pleasure-filled somatic experience. Somewhere between the reverberation of the vocals and the other incredible instrumentals I find myself in a state of deep gratitude for life is ❤️🧡💛 so B E A U T I F U L ! ! !

[@lh6353]

You blessed my ears this morning. Good vibes

Please, a long versión for this wonderful now !!

[@seyerus]

That melody though! Hells bells, they get better and better.

[@simonejaninefrank3577]

Been into the world if music since I was 8 years old ( now 45 ) and music saved my life so many times. Never experienced anything like with Sam and the Gang!! J'adore!!!

[@tbremler]

Favourite band since early 2000s. You guys are legends.

[@Sogonrei]

For a song that eludes to heartbreak the confidence in Sam's sultry voice overrides his pain which to me shows how music is really cathartic for him in my humble opinion. This is my first listen, and I was blown away.

[@angelbautistacarranza1973]

Why are this guys not the biggest band of the 21st century.

[@lunanonyr]

Plz, need u in Perú again . The fisrt time i was in rehab but ur music stay in my soul, ALWAYS

Cool groove - man I never skip this band’s songs

[@connormcleod3982]

Excelente cover de colorbox y el teclado tsss...

[@edgarrondon4759]

This is spectacular, bravo!

[@antunivanovic]

No hard feelings, but in what way is this "spectacular"? Apart from being a spectacularly dull, flat note-by-note karaoke carbon copy that gives absolutely nothing back to the original it so mercilessly and insufferably feeds upon, under the poor excuse of a cover version. Sorry.

[@spellboundbythedevil4743]

Saw these guys open for Beck in SLC in 2014... they've only gotten more amazing.

[@-coolant4883]

Terrific, I'm stunned by how you do it consistently, amazing me with your music, it's outstanding!

[@linasdegutis5696]

... For some reason I associate (right now) this piece of 'FUTURE ISLANDS' with such a light slow tempo with Gorgonzola cheese, Foccacia with olives and, of course, with a good couple (perhaps a little more) of red Toscana 'Chianti' wine somewhere in Italy sea coast at sunset ... 😊 ... 😉

Been a huge fan of the Colourbox version for aeons, especially as it was an atypical release at the time for 4ad Kudos to Future Islands for picking it but certainly not as good as the stellar vocals of the 80s original imho
