About Foreign Fields:
Founding band-mates Brian Holl (guitar, vocals) and Eric Hillman (keys, guitar, vocals) changed their band's original name, Flights, over to Foreign Fields, when feelings they were trying to portray in their music began to take solid form. "It felt like a place, and that's what we try to do with our songs. We try to take you out of the real world a little bit and let you suspend your belief," said Holl in an interview

Lyrics:
You sat me down and told me
We'd be alright
You said we were the only
Good guys
That we carried the light
In our aching bodies
That we carried the light
Down…
And the ashes fall
On the children's faces
On their names and races
And here, at the end of time
You will find us waiting
On the seashore fading
I asked you if you'd leave me
You said you'd never go
But you lie there still
In your dying body
But you lie there still
Down…
And the ashes fall
On the children's faces
On their names and races
And here, at the end of time
You will find us waiting
On the seashore fading
We're still trying
We're still trying
We're still trying
We're still trying to live

[@headers12]

It’s been over 8 year’s, and this song still gives me memory driven and literal nostalgic goosebumps!

[@multibuttercup101]

Me too!

[@donedoneit1355]

When that drummer kicks in...it's like an awakening....good stuff to my ears.

[@grizzlycountry1030]

When I retire from law enforcement in a couple years I know this will be the song I play as I begin my journey driving across the United States to where I plan to live out my retirement.

[@sscott4028]

This song made me fall in love with music again. Such a beautiful song.

[@OurVinyl]

We hope to film another session with them soon!

[@franckguerrero5954]

When you feel more than you can explain...this is it!

[@OurVinyl]

+Franck Guerrero Well Said

[@Ambearrr]

Foreign Fields is utterly incredible, I can never get enough.

[@Gnorde]

Northmen brought me here. Great music.

[@TheModerntopia]

This song somehow reminds me of my father when he was struggling and suffering from his lung cancer. This song brings up those last few monthes of memories with my father when he told me and my brother that everything is fine, and any path we take throughout our lives will eventually lead us to where we aim. As written in song, “We’re still trying”. Thanks for the great song, a lot of thanks from Korea.

[@uzerllamo]

This isn't just a song it's a beautiful experience

[@Ryan-kl5pt]

[@aurwood68]

One of the most beautiful song ever

[@readifer]

4,491 time listening to this, still as good as the first day i was graced with this sweet rhythmic remedy to a sad day.

[@stuartwells2270]

Still the most beautiful rendition of this incredible song.

[@gabbaghey]

I can´t stop to hear you guys, my kids tell me everyday "again mommy" and for this there´s no price, thank you so much for your perfect music.

[@OurVinyl]

+Gabriela Barrientos so glad you enjoyed the video. Did you watch the other songs we filmed with them? Just wanted to make sure you saw them if you are a fan.

[@arshadchandio6902]

I used to listen this song in 2015 but its still give me same vibes in 2023

[@wilwinslett6618]

I cried when I heard this. I dont understand why. This just really brought to me a spiritual feeling deep inside. I am crying right now, but in a good way. I hate it, but I love it. This is true beauty

[@Necrohermit]

@@goku8586 pathetic hiding behind your keyboard

[@Luis-fl3kz]

I feel you bro

[@FlyingBalcony]

@@goku8586 piss off lowlife

[@stuartwells2270]

I've lost count how many times i have listened to this but it continues to become more beautiful with each play. This is an even more complete version than that on the album. Truly stunning work boys. Thank you.

[@OurVinyl]

Stuart Wells You can now listen to it on Spotify and iTunes. We are working to do another session with these guys soon... So be sure to stay tuned!

[@stuartwells2270]

[@laurenchue1069]

another ginger's voice who takes my breath away. Definitely need to get this album on vinyl and see them live!

[@haleysmith2471]

Yeah, this song makes me think of "The Road" by McCarthy... It's my favorite book. I absolutely love this song.

[@OurVinyl]

So glad you are enjoying! We just uploaded the full session, be sure to click the link in the description to watch it all unfold!

[@sachipyon2618]

Every song by these guys is amazing I can't explain it.

[@Staetter09]

I must have watched this on repeat 50 times the past few days. I love discovering new talent. This song really connects to me emotionally.

[@OurVinyl]

Brennan Witterstaetter So glad you enjoyed! Did you see the other songs we filmed with them?

[@CAIO-117]

Apparently this song talks about lives lost in wars. People who asked their relatives if they would survive, and in the end, they ended up leaving, and from a spiritual point of view they say: "You will find us waiting On the seashore fading"

[@a2xf207]

the album version is perfect and then the live version... OMG

[@kiss_mysss]

when i listen to songs many times, I usually get tired of them for a month. but this... I've still been listening for three years and I still love it.

[@user-qt9og7rk4u]

Utter Perfection. no other words least from me.

[@daehwankim4246]

i'm also korean. This is my first time to watch their playing. The video "making axe" sent me to here. Can you introduce me about them?

[@bartologonzo]

+DaeHwan “Jess” Kim lol I knew them by the same video, but it's about a damascus knife

[@wuu2]

Really nice

[@chicharobc]

La mejor por mucho :'D

[@sk3in]

Lovely song that never fails me. I'd bet it's inspired by Cormac McCarthy's book The Road.

[@putonmydancinshoes]

Very very nice

[@mohammadbabylon5940]

dreamy Indie song

[@kimberlyfranks1483]

I am addicted. Luv everything these guys do!!! Anyone know the name of that very lovely song (the light in your face? Come closer to me?) that they sang live at a small cafe in Evanston IL in 2010. Eric's wife was sitting in with them. I dont believe they had formed as a band back then. You'll love that piece too, if you can find it!

[@sfrenking]

Is there a connection between this song and the movie "The Road" since it's lyric basically seem to perfectly represent the movie. Love both!

[@MarkusPresent]

5:19 i want 10 hour versioon :))))

[@sadamhussainsolangi3687]

regards from pakistan/// love it

[@OurVinyl]

Our best regards back to you from Nashville, USA. So glad you enjoyed this video!

[@angelalopez7704]

Brings to mind Simon and Garfunkel

[@pindot69]

Depression kicking in.

[@paulbesancon3963]

I just fucking love this song like no other and I have to say it

[@OurVinyl]

Say it loud and proud! We're happy you dig it.

[@Spectrumpicture]

This has too many parallels to Cormac McCarthy's _The Road_ for it not to be inspired by it. I love it.

[@MusicWeaponsFood]

Found out about your music from John Neeman's youtube channel. It was a good fit.

[@123shanek]

I heard this first watching a video of John Neeman making tools.

[@OurVinyl]

Haha did you see the session with Natalie Prass we shot? You might really like her music as well!

[@ftc174]

John Neeman has a good taste of music.

[@Randymarsh2069]

Was this song written about "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy?
