Future Islands - The Thief (Official Video)

[@beesayshello]

Easily my fave on the album. Love how this band consistently releases songs that hit me like a truck and overwhelm me with nostalgia and emotion. :’)

[@dreborst23x]

This album is insanely good

[@SSHHABBA]

Makes dancing look hard , try a day coal mining 😂

[@Deadrum]

@@SSHHABBAlmao what a weird response

[@bogdanpetretudorascu363]

This is a nice song people. I really like it. I keep returning to it

[@missnannyinga]

I could listen to you sing "brick a brack" a thousand times.

[@alexrayray]

A pit er pat

[@jackburton1455]

​@@alexrayray brick a brack. A shop that sells random and often second hand goods. It's old English.

[@mariafernandavelascohernan5839]

The best line in the whole song

[@allourvice]

Words cannot express what this band and the music they create means to me. It’s been *years* since I’ve been so utterly inspired and moved. Thank you.

[@johnwhite4470]

Ditto 👍🏻

[@VoxxEU]

Future Islands transports the listener to wherever their spirit takes them.

[@tronslater274]

Wish it took me to moment I win the lottery…Killer tunes

[@beesayshello]

And it’s always an intensely bittersweet feeling of love and loss… at least for me, lol.

[@BrendanMacWade]

I listened to the whole new album, and this track stuck out for all the right reasons. It struck me as progressive and a leap forward for this band. Best of all, this song and Give Me The Ghost are unexpected surprises in addition to the 5 singles we've heard over the last year. I think many agree this is their best album.

[@pieropeccianti554]

Once again Future Islands did it right. Fucking love this band

[@tronslater274]

Right…It’s a solid album, digging the clean sound.

[@redsunflowers7322]

They're so good.

[@3BirdDancer]

This is so beautiful, I just watched no less than 10 times in a row, never want it to stop

[@MelodyFox]

I just LOVE THIS GROUP... Usually, members of the group and Sam can be seen, but, this time around, there's actually a video with outsiders involved! and it's sooo cool! The choreography is absolutely amazing! of course, the singing and performance of FUTURE ISLANDS is top notch! *The Thief* is one of my favorite songs so far from the album, always having a touch of melancholy, but having a gripping beat that one can also dance to! Thank you for yet another gem, *Future Islands* ! Love always... LPeaceM

[@MelodyFox]

p.s.: of course, I've got it on loop and am dancing to it... Lol Forever grateful for your tunes, *Future Islands* ! LPeaceM

[@Tuckerz5d]

New to this band, now I”m obsessed. Such a great song, great video. Hoping to see them in New York in June.

[@ryancowan3223]

You'll be amazed they are brilliant live!

[@joedivision7148]

Love to hear it.

[@redsunflowers7322]

I first heard Future Islands on that iconic Letterman performance. So many of their songs have special meaning to me in the decade that I've been a fan and I got to see them live a few months after seeing them on Letterman. And this is yet another beautiful song to add to the list of favorites of theirs.

[@bigmclargehuge8219]

I just found this band today and already their music has broken my heart, what a wonderful experience. :)

[@GazMoby]

Really? Sounds like you need to talk to someone!

[@wulfzendit1135]

The beginning is so beautiful hearing the few synth beats , which made me glad to be human experiencing this raw emotion of tears running down my face . Because one day we'll be old and recall hearing songs like this, already getting a sense of nostalgia thank you Future Islands for making my teenage years seem like yesterday .

[@MegaBrenC]

Guys, its so short! This should be 15 minutes, minimum. I love this song, I cant stop playing it.

[@markmcfadyen6266]

Yes, i totally agree. My finger is getting sore now putting it back to the start. The video is really powerfull as well i must say.

[@camabron1]

I first got to know you from the soundtrack to the film 'Titane', Shazamed your song, a few months later, watched you live in Mexico City, captivated ever since!! Love your band's style and onstage performance!! Most charismatic singer in music today! Fan for life!

[@costantino8358]

In such a shitty dark world sometimes, its great to hear great new refreshing music .

[@chuckwhitworth5334]

Going to see them in June! They have restored my faith in music!

[@TheYusten]

album is rocking my world, your best in a decade.

[@ga_s6]

this dance is wonderful, where can we see them dancing live?

[@Sogonrei]

I adored this song first listen. I felt pure elation and hope and sifted through some old memories too..touching. Amazing talented dancers and beautifully choreographed video Future Islands! I took tap, jazz and Irish dance ..dance in general for 12 years and love the exhilaration dance gives me..miss performing as a cohesive unit the thrill and unbridled joy of expression to sensational music! ❤❤

[@m.a.b.4104]

Fantastic, never been a dancer but I am always a sucker for some quality artistic choreography, especially when twinned with some good music. ❤️ to all the dancers out there helping to bring more beauty to the world. 👏👏👏

[@johnwergeld]

I will never listen to this song again without remembering this mesmerizing dance. This video is a masterpiece.

[@iamrizlanotu]

Definitely in my top 3 favorite tracks on the new album. Really wished Future Islands would come back to St. Petersburg/Tampa area of Florida again - its been waaay too long.

[@mishkathlay]

Yes!!!!!!!

[@TheAnalPunisher]

This and War on Drugs are the best things in music today

[@MatiasRoden]

Another great video from one of the best, most underrated bands of the last two decades

[@casss.6406]

I heard this song on Spotify today, first time listening to future islands…. LOVE.

[@amandaallinson7839]

you have so much amazing music to discover and enjoy! i started listening to them 3 years ago and since then they've been who i listen to the most. they're phenomenal.

[@tronslater274]

Better late than never…They are like a raw emotional with dark lyrics within a dance groove

[@PinkLloyd88]

You lucky person. Welcome to beautiful music 😎

[@diarmuidmcgrath3044]

Started listening probably 2018/19 and since then they are my most played group by a long shot. Travelled to Dublin twice in the last 3 years to see them live - phenomenal!!

[@c0c0c00lguy]

Song gives me chills, can’t stop listening! So good ⚡️⚡️

[@eee-man9545]

My ex and I had a connection with music it hurt me deeply that she sent me this after years of not seeing each other and worse that she is married I feel like the secret buried deep in that drawer

[@simonwhitehouse4950]

Best tune off a stellar album 👍

[@konstantusha]

Very beautiful video. "The Thief" is my favourite song from the album 😊

[@carolinerichard6921]

Love everything about this, the choreography is magnificent! ♥️🔥

[@SSummersMontages]

I love this so much I can’t even describe how it makes me feel.

[@harveydent1873]

i have listened to this song every day since release *chefs kiss*

[@zzzzzzz1zzzzzzzzzz1z]

of the few indie i kept listen to, Future Islands still there is

[@RC-ix6vd]

Thank you! I’m going through some tough times with my health. Hope to see you in BC this year!

[@GeorgeNTZ]

I take this song like a pill three times a day. Try it, you'll remember me....

[@tiruliru]

When the synth bass hits, jeezus

[@corvinsky]

What a great album, please never stop, Future Islands ❤❤❤❤

[@oaktree8189]

So many songs on this album make me cry, and this is one of them 🩵🦋 the video adds to the emotion. The fact that they did the album cover in the dance routine is so beautiful to me. I'm in love, honestly. I saw them live twice and they played this song 🥰

[@RoboticDragon]

You guys should tour to Saskatoon, SK or Edmonton, AB again. Absolutely love this song. Also love the dance routine and the costumes, particularly the very flowy parts around 1:04 to about 1:20, the kicks move to the beat, and everything after just feels very free and smooth. Also how hard is it to dance in that red bed sheet!?

[@annm132]

I feel like his voice has been in my head since i began.

[@victortheoneandonly]

such a good band

[@ibero-music]

[@claudiudain6216]

Got Future Islands in recommended videos after listening too much Broken Bells. Now I'm addicted to their stuff. Great video btw. Keep it up, mates!

[@mikeone718.]

I've waited a few years for you guys. Thank you

[@maxmiller6685]

Masterpiece!

[@jabsjc]

Beautiful video for a beautiful song! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@mindygonzalez8042]

When future island post, I run to listen to their new story because they are a addicting tale.

[@numa.records]

Nice song!! @futureislands I like your #electronicmusic 😄

[@TalkingSoup]

fave on the album. so glad i discovered these guys

[@sarahv7516]

Beautiful!

[@johnwhite4470]

Love it brilliant 👍🏻❤

[@lunatunakitty]

Just got tickets to see them in September! There is just something about their music that moves mountains. 💓

[@akacottonmouth]

I intentionally missed the chance to see Future Islands back in 2018, I was going through a painful breakup and the band was strongly linked to this person. Now they will return to my city next March and after all this time I'm happy to finally getting to see you guys, at the right time of my life ❤

[@darrylbrostrom4633]

Thank you for this story. I am going through something similar and I found it inspiring.

I'm getting vibes of TheThe and Midnight oil.

[@costantino8358]

Amazing band , they sound like the national crossed with joy division

[@christophed4579]

Brilliant !

[@vgmlove]

I’m far more impressed with the lyrics on this album than the instrumentals. I really love the sounds of Seasons, A Dream Of You And Me, and Beach Foam. The music video to Beach Foam is as good as the song, it’s one of my top favorites in all of music. Thats not to discount how amazing the video for Seasons is as well, just preference.

[@aubra_dash]

Love you guys!!!! ❤ My favorite band!!!

[@rodgercostello9814]

You can tell instantly classic future great job . Love it, terrific video also 10/10

[@saritallerena6499]

Nos vemos en marzo ❤❤❤❤

[@monochrome72]

Absolute music

[@thereligion4169]

Love Sam Herring’s ambiguous pronunciations, he’s said it’s intentional as to allow space for various interpretations of lyrics. “I know I’ve been gone. But I’ve been here all along. Hidden in the things you keep. Treasures that you went and buried deep.” Without looking at them I thought it was “I know I’ve been caught, I’ve been bitter all along, living in the things you keep. Treasure that you went and buried me” two totally coherent and totally different meanings potentially.

[@ryansummers6827]

Going to see them live July 2nd!!!

[@ryansummers6827]

Update, the show was absolutely amazing. He sang to me in the front row 🎉🎉

[@cguerra379]

I’ve been desperately waiting for this record since you guys released King of Sweden and it did not disappoint!! A beginning to end masterpiece but this is quickly becoming my favorite track. I hope you guys play this song when you come to Oakland in September because I’ll lose my shit during the chorus.

[@MarbioRibeiro]

Ótima banda!

[@rrodolfocruz]

Esta es una de mis canciones favoritas del nuevo disco, ya quiero escucharla en vivo el 16 de marzo, ¡Nos vemos en Zapopan! 🇲🇽
