Man the early 2010's was such a wild time. Music like this was just randomly huge. These guys, The Killers, that song Little Talks, MGMT... There was such a trippy vibe for like 2 or 3 years and it just kind of stayed there unfortunately lol. But it's still so good!
Man, what ever happened to these guys? They are so talented and unique. I’m thankful that they got a few songs to go somewhat mainstream but I don’t get how they just disappeared
@@Sunisrising-v7b Still here but not in the mainstream anymore. This genre of music and the most popular artists of the time haven't been on the radio in many years.
i burst into tears when the track started. same with Houdini just 5 minutes earlier. Nostalgic but also phenomenal music. I guess my brain remembered how incredible these songs are when it heard the beginning parts of them and was so excited it made me cry
Sometimes life it takes you by the hand It puts you down before you know it It's gone and you're dead again I've been in places and I won't pretend That I make it I just follow my head When it's strange to take a walk downstairs Sweep u all up on a corner and pay for my bread You know that I cannot believe my own truth To show what a truth, it's got nothing to lose Yeah yeah and it's okay.

I'm sending this song out to my late boyfriend Jay who passed away earlier this year. This was his favorite album of all time. I miss all the memories we shared while this played in the background. RIP Babe!! Hope you're listening with me right now! 🧡🧡🧡
@@kimberleyhollyman90 Speaking of lost family, my German shepherd used to howl to anything harmonic like the end vocals in this song, remembered his goofy howls while nostalgia listening to this. He was a very good doggo who lived a good life. This song really is old now isn't it? I know I'm sure getting there.

It was a mad time in my life, and I look back with fond memories and a great soundtrack to remonise nostagically ❤

It’s making a come back
This might be my favourite song in torches

This is my favorite

Hanging out drinking, smoking, playing games of pool or video games in our friends basement. Foster the people is most of what wed listen to.
If I ever have a daughter in the future, I’m naming her Helena. That’s how much I love this song
id do the same
Hell yeah
HELL YA
It's a beautiful name.
That doubles for Helena by MCR. Two bomb ass songs associated with that name.

I cannot get enough of the violin crescendo…
Man, what ever happened to these guys? They are so talented and unique. I’m thankful that they got a few songs to go somewhat mainstream but I don’t get how they just disappeared
the band still exists. But yeah, they went through a lot of changes both in style and in the people in it. Only mark is still around now.
The popularity of the genre dissipated by 2015. Any remnants that remain are pretty much categorized under bedroom indy rock
@@sartorialdriver6528 indiemusic is still here
@@Sunisrising-v7b Still here but not in the mainstream anymore. This genre of music and the most popular artists of the time haven't been on the radio in many years.
Still love indie/alt music, even tho indie/alt was very popular around ~1980-2016
I dont follow the mainstream trends i just love music the way it is
So nostalgic, I just wanna cry.
I GET THE SAME FEELING

The cover of this album is so iconic.

prolly their best song. I put it above pumped up kicks
Sometimes life it takes you by the hand
It puts you down before you know it
It's gone and you're dead again
I've been in places and I won't pretend
That I make it I just follow my head
When it's strange to take a walk downstairs
Sweep u all up on a corner and pay for my bread
You know that I cannot believe my own truth
To show what a truth, it's got nothing to lose
Yeah yeah and it's okay.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I'm alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight.
You know those days when you wanted to choose
To not get out of bed and get lost in your head again.
You play the game but you gotta cut
Cuz' you're coming down hard your joints are off stud.
I tried to say that's not the only way
I never knew if I could convince myself to change.
You were pacing I was insecure.
Slip and fall I got the calls of the prison I was living in.
Yeah yeah and it's okay.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I'm alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight.

Sometimes life, it takes you by the hair
Pulls you down before you know it
It's gone and you're dead again
I've been in places and I won't pretend
That I'd make it out just to fall on my head
Wake up strange and take the walk downstairs
Hit the pawn up on the corner and pay for my rent
You know that I could not believe my own truth
Just show 'em what I choose, got nothing to lose, oh
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, and it's okay
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way
Yeah, yeah, and I'm alright
I took a sip of something poison, but I'll hold on tight
[Verse 2]
You know those days when you wanna just choose
To not get out of bed, you're lost in your head again
You play the game, but you kind of cut
'Cause you're coming down hard, your joints are all stuck
I've tried to say that it's not the only way
I never knew if I could face myself to change
You were pacing, I was insecure
Slip and fall, I'm dodging calls, hug the prison I've been living in
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, and it's okay
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way
Yeah, yeah, and I'm alright
I took a sip of something poison, but I'll hold on tight
Yeah, yeah, and it's okay
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way
Yeah, yeah, and I'm alright
I took a sip of something poison
Took a sip of something poison, poison
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, and it's okay
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way
Yeah, yeah, and I'm alright
I took a sip of something poison, but I'll hold on tight

Honestly my favorite song from the original album. Thanks for being the album that helped me during a dark time!
Recession hit us all bro... Keep yer chin up! :)
That’s pretty ironic knowing this song is about depression, suicide, and self harm.
@@thecarnew5334this song is about a drug addiction bro... its downtown that was made in memory of his friend

Coming back again and again for that synth line
Still an unforgettable and masterpiece of an album. I bought it day 1 2012. Went to a concert the same year.

all the song from Torches album are great for a long road trip
They don't make em like this anymore.
This song instantly brings back so many memories of 2012, HARD!!!!! This was my favorite song back then.
ESTOY TAN EMOCIONADA 10 AÑOS DE TORCHES Y ESTA MISMA NOCHE LOS ESCUCHARÉ EN VIVO. TAN AGRADECIDA😭🤘🏻💖💖
I feel honored that me and this song share the same name
Wheneven I feel low(that’s every time), this uplifts my spirit.
i stumbled upon these guys way after the party was over. such great talent, wish this type of music would re immerge
Just gotta keep looking I remember when thus dropped. And it's always better to be late to the party then to never show up!
Haven’t heard this song in WAY TOO LONG :D
I can barely go a month without it
heard this shit when i was like 7. i did not like it but look at me now
❤This song is pure memories of my younger days. Thanks for the gift of these beautiful memories. Love, peace, and motivation. 🤟🥰

Always been one of my favorite songs by Foster the People. Thanks for reminding me of this amazing classic ❣️
I think this has always been my fave. after Torches I never found music again that resonated that much with me.
Que bellos recuerdos tengo gracias a esta canción
One of my favorites songs of all time 😭❤
Posted 5 days ago, wow. I've never been this early. Love you, FosterThePeople!
the beginning of this song makes me feel an emotion that doesn't exist, its amazing
I tripped so fuckin hard around the time this came out. I still miss her...
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way... ❤😂
Y justamente hoy se presentarán en Monterrey ❤

See u next week 💙💙💙
Who likes this better than "Pumped Up Kicks"?
A lot of people do, that song was turned into a meme song for school shooters. Not the best look for them but any publicity is good publicity
This one Is the Best of Foster the people
this is the best skng
Darker too
I liked pumped up kicks😮
Their song were so awesome
Amazing!!! Love, love, FTP
I always loved the palette cleanse of this Beat and Broken Jaw as they mostly drop the upbeat pretense, which I absolutely adore, hiding the lyrics.
did you forget about their biggest song pumped up kicks that Also does this
MY FAVOURITE SONG OF ALL TIME!
La mejor canción para estar feliz y deprimido al mismo tiempo 🖤⚡
this is a song for my niece Helena 💜
I just heard this song on the radio. It reminds me of better times when i sleas a kid. Had to give it a bit more attention.
Why i loooove this SO MUCH??💥💥💥❤
