I lost my loved grandfather today and i thought of this song.
He was the strongest man i ever knew, he cheated death for 30 years of pain, he had scars all over his body from surgerys but he always kept fighting, he was always happy, always had the humor on top, he was a real survivor until this day 2017-03-07.
I will never forget you my dear grandfather, you was a real rolemodel.
You will forever live in my mind and heart until i see you when my time here is over <3
Thank you Future Islands for this song.

Just imagine being there at this small gathering watching the greatest band in the world….live…right there……❤

First listen, instant classic in my mind.
Literally every song I have listened to by Future Island.
I have not purchased music in probably over 10 years.
Until today. Purchased all their albums.

First time I have cried in 10 years. Long live Future Islands

[neiloshodges]

Absolutely sublime lyrics. How could anyone's heart not be moved by words like this?

As a 63 year old, I am partial to 70's normally, but they cracked the CODE. Brilliant lyrics and Melodies on many of their songs. Glad that I saw Sam dancing around like a funny guy on ACL, then I started listening to the music and never stopped.

In the past yr. I have had 6 family members pass away.. Yesterday was the day my daughters grandfather passed away... he was my ex-father in law.. he was the nicest person.. I dont know if we ever really get to a place where we understand the heart that hurts, for the family members we have lost.. but i do know we take 1 day at a time.. this song does have away of helping me .. thank you Future islands...

I never met either of my grandfathers. One was killed in a landslide when my father was 11. The other died of lung cancer when I was only four months old. But I cherish their legacy. The first, Wlliam Fitzgerald, was the son of the first Prime Minister of New Zealand, John Edward Fitzgerald. The other, Reb Herschel Zukier, was a much loved and respected teacher in Konskovolia, Poland. Between the two of them they passed on a legacy of creativity, social activism, and spiritual teaching which I have passed on, hopefully, to my children.

4:36 gets me right in the feels. you can tell he's holding back the tears, as he gazes up to the sky as if he is seeing his grandparents right there.

There is something that sticks with me from this amazing song and lead singers music, it's deep but very powerful and beautiful at the same time. A very unique song.

[EnriqueMendoza-ntse]

This song makes me think of my children's great grandfather.... I LOVE YOU TATA.

[jettavrsix]

The best part of this video are the expressions of love and pride and adoration on the faces of Sam’s family as they watch him and his band perform.

[murrayfamily]

I heard this song for the first time two days after my grandfather passed, this song is fantastic

[Sasquatch]

This is the most wholesome music video/song i've ever seen.

[qeurpoi]

This song really hits home... I grew up in a small town and spent a lot of time on farms being babysat as a kid. Then I went off to live in the city and hang out with the weirdos at the punk bars. Still have a big place in my heart for my people back home, although it's been twenty years and I probably seem as weird to them as they do to me. Even so I know they'd welcome me in without hesitation for Sunday dinner.

Iv been visiting this song with the recent passing of my mom even more so.video is love.

[MrStanleyMilton]

I'm a blues guy, and generally can't stand synthesizers in music…but these guys have great soul and gravity. love em. The singer sounds like a man when he sings…so much better than most of the modern stylists. Great bass and drums, great melodies and meaningful lyrics.

[nolanwinkler]

These fellows are GOLD. Thanks again for a wonderful song, music, video.
