Oh! I understood that reference! All joking aside, I just had the pleasure of seeing these guys in concert tonight, and I'm absolutely stuck in the effin beam. First time I'd ever even heard of em wasn't more than six hours ago and I'm a fan for life...
We got to see them at Red Rocks this summer and it was great. At one point he got caught up in the cables and completely ate it. Just got right back up and kept going like nothing happened. It was a great show overall, just one funny moment.
I've watched quit alot of video's of these guys, you can say the lead singer is a bit weird, but you have to admire him, for keeping things intense and spell bounding.
@@mydogsnameisbob I was there as well and his story of assing out in Denver once before was priceless. Trying to impress Morrissey. God this band never ceases to amaze.
I don't know what affected me the most..... the song, the striptease, the dance moves, or the penetrating stare at the end. But i am here for ALL OF IT. Still one of the best concerts I have ever seen live.
This song has so many angles of greatness. ! WOW! nice progressive build and melody, and then there is the story He tells in Lyrics. Glad to have found this one.
@@zigner The guys from Moon Hooch. That's about it though. They have a similar, but very different genius to them. I've cried at many of their live shows.
There won’t ever be another man like Sam, he literally puts his all into every performance and it warms my heart to see someone so passionate about the story and music they’re sharing
Use to be an early promoter for this band in Baltimore when they first came up and the indie art scene was blowing up with the likes of Wham City. Makes me so proud to see them continue to soar on a mainstream level!
I was too much into the DC scene playing in bands around their beginnings in Baltimore. It's too bad I did not make it up north much during that time. They're one of my favorites these days.
For me it was when I first heard the song little dreamer, probably from searching itunes for new music like I used to do. Heard that song, THAT voice, and that was it. Forever fan. Lol. Next is to hopefully one day see them live. Im STILL upset I missed the chance to see their show with their last tour! I won't miss it next time theyre in my neck of the USA. And I already adore this song❣️💃🤙
The bass in this song is so good. He plays a simple line but kind of bounces around the notes. I can't really explain it, but then I can't really explain why I love this band so much x
just saw them twice front row in Dublin and got to fist bump Sam during inch of dust :))) one of the best bands I've ever seen if they come to town GO SEE THEM!!!
there's nothing like watching some Future Islands in the morning and seeing Sam spill out his sick dance moves to an audience. God I need to see them live again!!
I was in the recording with my husband. We spent our honeymoon in New York and we were lucky to get tickets to attend the Late Show. We didn't know anything about Future Islands before, but after this performance, they have 2 new fans. I wish they return to Chile soon, so we can see them here.
This performance was my first exposure to them. I was channel surfing and was glued to it. How did I miss this band for so long. Great performance here.
these guys were incredible live. they opened for modest mouse in Dallas last year and i had never heard of them. the lead singers stage performance was WILD. he was all over the stage, jumping, flipping his legs around and still freaking singing! it was insanely cool to witness.
Saw them live in London last night and this song hit so hard. I've never seen a performer of any discipline (actor, musician etc) perform with such sincerity and consistency. He's in a leagye of his own. ❤️
Summer of 2021 I watched them live at a show. Sam gave 100% in the first second and continued to give more and more energy through out the show. It was intense and memorable - need you guys back here in Wisconsin again!
I discovered this band 2 years ago from the horror movie "Titaine", they had amazing scene with The Lighthouse and I knew I was listening to my new favorite band. I now have so many memories on trips, at the beach, hiking, and driving to Future Islands. I love you Future Islands.
First time hearing of this band, what a performance! I've binged their videos and albums now, definitely going to order some LPs! A new favorite, wow, just wow.
I got my husband surprise tickets for the October show in Atlanta. It was truly an experience I wish I could live in forever. Such wonderful energy and he just kept playing forever! It was definitely worth everything.
Saw them at a secret show before the Far Field came out and they give all of that plus more at every show. I accidentally got lucky enough to speak with Sam - we were waiting in line together and I was like "Oh, sh*t, hey man", completely starstruck and didn't know what to say... But he is an awesomely humble dude as well and full of so much good energy. Future Islands is still my favorite show to go to.
Future Islands' live performances always leave me with goosebumps. I remember seeing them live at the beachland ballroom in CLE and was just blown away by Sam's theatrics. Dude is a legend, along with the whole group!
I will never forget seeing Future Islands for the first time performing on Jools Holland in 2014. Wow! The band captivates; Samuel is hypnotic! So much beauty and joy!!!
Future Islands have the best talk show performances and Sam has an amazing stage presence. Their Letterman performance of Seasons with those crazy growling vocals he did made me an instant fan.
Only discovered them last yearbut totally obsessed! Seeing them in 🇬🇧 in March...can't wait! Deeply moving...always....just completely different to anything out there and I love it! ❤️ ❤️
Sooo much love in all these comments. So proud to be a fan and have been super fortunate to meet all the guys over the years. They are all totally lovely❤️ Released this new track on birthday, what would be the chances 🤣
Future Islands are a pleasure to watch play in a set or a concert, Sam sings so expressively and it really flows through the band as one unit with this crisp cascade of sounds that dare the viewer not to dance or move to the beat or get in a better mindset, and this song sounds like he found his love! 🔥💕🎶
I shot / covered Future Islands prior to them blowing up in a little bar in Long Beach, California (Alex's) when they used a drum machine not a drummer. SAM's onstage presence was not only mesmerizing but somehow imitating, brazen and sultry. Then I knew he and the band were one of the most unique bands in the last quarter of a century.
It was about 20 years ago now that I first saw Sam perform when he was leading a little band called “Art Lord and the Self-Portraits”. Classic early 2000’s house party with a different kind of band playing. Very memorable moment then and I still love to check in on him now. Great performance once again guys!

This
YES!!!
I like it a lot
Letterman nailed it
Ten years later!! I’ll take all of that you got. ❤
haah I remember that one
This man brought back stage presence. What a legend, he always makes people cry in shared joy during the concerts.
We got to see them at Red Rocks this summer and it was great. At one point he got caught up in the cables and completely ate it. Just got right back up and kept going like nothing happened. It was a great show overall, just one funny moment.

Funniest thing I’ve read all day. The singer and the band are trash.
@@rokrV everyone is entitled to their opinion…meanwhile I can’t stop watching 🤩
I don't know what affected me the most..... the song, the striptease, the dance moves, or the penetrating stare at the end. But i am here for ALL OF IT. Still one of the best concerts I have ever seen live.
came for the song and dance, pleasantly suprised by the strip tease 😂
I couldn't agree more! Love this band! The raw emotion, the dancing....I'm a fan forever!
Well said.
Penetrating
And his big nachotas 😅😅
This song has so many angles of greatness. ! WOW! nice progressive build and melody, and then there is the story He tells in Lyrics. Glad to have found this one.
Samuel T Herring is a legend, not many can match the pure energy and passion he has on stage
He’s the King of Soul
Not many? Understatement. Who is close to him?
@@zigner The guys from Moon Hooch. That's about it though. They have a similar, but very different genius to them. I've cried at many of their live shows.
@@zigner although different genre but similar energy from John Dwyer (OSEES)
passion on stage? lol ok whatever
That bass is their special mark that I can recognize everywhere. I LOVE THEM!
And then the velvet voice hahah
Bass voice & synth. All full of character individually and uniquely special when combined.
There won’t ever be another man like Sam, he literally puts his all into every performance and it warms my heart to see someone so passionate about the story and music they’re sharing

🥳🥴🤯☝
It's a great band!
Here, in México, They have Many fans
Baltimore guy here love these people….so good. Also check out there other band Snails
Incredible if true
As a longtime Future Islands fan - I implore all to seek out their In Evening Air album and absolutely, positively go see them live ❤️
Agree!
My wife and I fell in love with that album playing on repeat. It’s absolutely magical.
For me it was when I first heard the song little dreamer, probably from searching itunes for new music like I used to do. Heard that song, THAT voice, and that was it. Forever fan. Lol. Next is to hopefully one day see them live. Im STILL upset I missed the chance to see their show with their last tour! I won't miss it next time theyre in my neck of the USA.
And I already adore this song❣️💃🤙
I want to see them live so bad but it doesn’t look like they’ll be playing anywhere near Houston in 2022 😭😭😭
Vireo`s eye is my favorite of the evening air album. Amazing song!
Samuel T. Herring always brings it. Catch them live if you can, it’s magical.
saw em with modest mouse in dallas about 3 months ago. i passed around a j during covid season. noone cared they were all drunk. it was glorious
The bass in this song is so good. He plays a simple line but kind of bounces around the notes. I can't really explain it, but then I can't really explain why I love this band so much x
I discovered that band when they played "Seasons" on the same stage years ago and they killed it. It was the Letterman show back then.
Yep. That Letterman show was where I first found out about them. Been a fan ever since.
Saaaame
Ditto!
Even Letterman was clearly in awe of that performance.
I remembered Dave got a kick out of the lead singer! He even ended the show with the World Wide Pants logo and him dancing around! 😆
brought tears to my eyes and I FINALLY GET TO SEE YOU LIVE THIS MARCH AFTER ALMOST 8 YEARS OF BEING A FAN GODDAMIT LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
ah man thats awesome! ENJOY! truly my favorite band to see live
they are sooo good, hope ya have fun
When and where!?!?!?!
Me too!!! Can’t wait, I love Ally Pally
just saw them twice front row in Dublin and got to fist bump Sam during inch of dust :)))
one of the best bands I've ever seen if they come to town GO SEE THEM!!!
there's nothing like watching some Future Islands in the morning and seeing Sam spill out his sick dance moves to an audience. God I need to see them live again!!
Saw these guys at Red Rocks and they were amazing. Sang every song.
When these guys first came out, I only watched for his dancing. Over the years, the music grew on me. Excellent song. Beautiful eyes.
Never fails to make me happy. An original in a world of cut n paste pop stars.
Before they started to play, THAT was NOT at ALL how I thought the performance would go. What a treat for the senses it ultimately turned out!
Be sure to watch their prior Late Show performance from the Letterman days. ua-cam.com/video/GK4lD3Uf8_o/v-deo.html
I was in the recording with my husband. We spent our honeymoon in New York and we were lucky to get tickets to attend the Late Show.
We didn't know anything about Future Islands before, but after this performance, they have 2 new fans.
I wish they return to Chile soon, so we can see them here.
That’s so cool!
I am a huge fan too!! But, why was everyone there wearing masks?
So cool, and so lucky!! What was the crowd like? I bet that would be so cool to experience!!
This performance was my first exposure to them. I was channel surfing and was glued to it. How did I miss this band for so long. Great performance here.
Best live band of our time. I'm 40.
Just watched the Stephen Colbert Show where I heard “King of Sweden”. It was worthy of a second play. So, here I am enjoying this music once again..
watched it ten times already.
The song “grows on you” … the more you hear it, the more you like it
Just incredible! The vocal range, the musicians, the moves, the passion, the song writing... yeah, I'll definitely take all of that you got!
these guys were incredible live. they opened for modest mouse in Dallas last year and i had never heard of them. the lead singers stage performance was WILD. he was all over the stage, jumping, flipping his legs around and still freaking singing! it was insanely cool to witness.

I found them the same way. I've been through some of the toughest times in my life these past couple of years and they keep getting me through.
Herring is the man.
Two certainties in life.. the sun coming up tomorrow and Future Islands bringing IT every time they perform 👏👏👏👏
I have watched this more than a few times. So powerful. I feel that I need to see them live before he blows out a knee. 😁
He actually tore his ACL in 2015 and never had it repaired
🙏🏻
The moment I heard that retro-wave 80s synth I knew I would love this song. 80s synth was so ahead of its time.
😁
HOLY CRIPES 🤯
WHAT DID I JUST WATCH!?!
This is the BEST THING I've heard in YEARS!!!!!!
Am I dreaming?
I had had the exact same response.
A true breath of fresh air in these dismal times!
Take care, Denise.
Welcome to the Future Island's Universe
You should also see the performance they did on David Letterman. That performance was mind-blowing.
No, they're just that good - go stream or download their albums, you won't regret it!
If you wanna stay in your dreams… ua-cam.com/video/GK4lD3Uf8_o/v-deo.html
I discovered this band from the Titane soundtrack...been hooked ever since.
Love, love, LOVE this band! They are always entertaining to watch. Dance on Sam!
First time hearing of this band, what a performance! I've binged their videos and albums now, definitely going to order some LPs! A new favorite, wow, just wow.
I can't even say how amazing this is. The emotions that are moved within me...this is art.
Never a bland moment with Future Islands, emotional , powerful , and beatiful
Love the little confetti moment love this band love the dancing man love this song love love love
Always good to see artists really feeling their music.
Always a sight to see ! Them boys put on the best shows! Catch one of their gigs you won’t be disappointed
I got my husband surprise tickets for the October show in Atlanta. It was truly an experience I wish I could live in forever. Such wonderful energy and he just kept playing forever! It was definitely worth everything.
Always love their energy. Nice to see live _anything_
Yes!!! The wonderful musical trends of the 80s are returning! These guys are great! Remind me a little of Berlin and Psychedelic Furs
And Roxy Music, and Ultravox, and KPH, and so many of the great early (not necessarily melodramatic) New Wave bands.
Saw them at a secret show before the Far Field came out and they give all of that plus more at every show. I accidentally got lucky enough to speak with Sam - we were waiting in line together and I was like "Oh, sh*t, hey man", completely starstruck and didn't know what to say... But he is an awesomely humble dude as well and full of so much good energy.
Future Islands is still my favorite show to go to.
What a mesmerizing and passionate performance! Intense,raw and joyful energy.

Ive loved this band since they performed on letterman. Awesome bass line, great vocals
March can’t come quick enough to watch these guys live! Truly amazing band
i'll be front row at the first dublin gig :)
@@TheRabidDolphin99 I’ll be needing some reviews, sold out in Dublin twice :) and sold out in Newcastle where I’ll be going :)
31 more sleeps till Manchester, can't wait!!!
I will never forget seeing Future Islands for the first time performing on Jools Holland in 2014. Wow!
The band captivates; Samuel is hypnotic! So much beauty and joy!!!
Spent countless nights listening & dancing to Future Islands in Uni, some incredible memories. such an incredible performer
I don't think I could love these guys more than I already do...
If you ever have a chance to see this band live, do it. They are absolutely incredible and sound amazing. They deliver every single time.
Future Islands have the best talk show performances and Sam has an amazing stage presence. Their Letterman performance of Seasons with those crazy growling vocals he did made me an instant fan.
Another great band I didn’t know. Thanks Colbert and team !
What a great performance, man I'm glad I like Colbert and discovered them and pissed that they passed under my radar so many years
I love this song. I just found out about this band through this song playing on radio. This man has a great variety of voices and expressions
Only discovered them last yearbut totally obsessed! Seeing them in 🇬🇧 in March...can't wait!
Deeply moving...always....just completely different to anything out there and I love it! ❤️ ❤️
Pure magic. Thank you beyond thank you. Words cannot approach. Tears of joy.
Holy shitt!!! Yet another great performance! My face is covered in emotional tears. One of the greatest performers of all time, no doubt in my mind.
🥰😍
Love it when a vocalist/musician feels the music in their core.
Sooo much love in all these comments. So proud to be a fan and have been super fortunate to meet all the guys over the years. They are all totally lovely❤️

I LOVE FUTURE ISLANDS!!! So happy to see them back on late night!!
The passion. The energy. The moves(?). All combine for a great new song. And now the wait for the rest of the album
Best band ever! Can't get enough of watching them!!
I can’t describe the feeling of seeing this band live. I’ve never seen a frontman like him before in my life. Truly a euphoric experience.
I think their new one is their best, hooked after a couple of listens. Greta album.
Been following Future Islands for years. Loving the new single and Samuels New moves. Can't wait to see you I'm Manchester next week.
Ohhh you can already tell there’s another banger album coming!!
I can’t stop watching this performance. It is all I need.
man pours every inch of his being into music.. absolute unbridled love for music
What a performance! I discovered Future Islands from this episode of Colbert and have been a fan ever since. These gentlemen always deliver. 💯

I cant deny chills on that first kick in the chorus.
I was on the F train
Thinking 'bout a holiday
I was on the M1
Dreaming 'bout my getaway
Rest right, reset
In-flight headset
Feeling like I'm fifteen
Wandering with the misfits
And all went silent
Purples, violets
The kind of cursive quiet
One with the starry eyelids
A sweet unsweetened
An eve uneven
The lights trailed like incense
To the figure in the distance
You are all I need
Nothing said could change a thing
Where you go, I go, just say, I'll be
'Cause you are all I need
I met the King of Sweden
When I was walking in the headlights
Drowning in a bender
Frozen in a red light
I'm always flying
So I'm always crying
Losing my emotion
On a desert island
Looked just like heaven
Seven alligator seven
Spoke to the reverend
Still filled me with depression
Slept right in tents
The moon was low and incensed
Was it the sun on the horizon?
It lit the figure in the distance
You are all I need
Nothing said could change a thing
Where you go, I go, just say, I'll be
'Cause you are all I need
And you are all I need
Oh, you are all I need
So much more
That means so much more
His dancing is total "cant keep me down" energy and i love it.
Thank you fifa love this band now 🙏🏻
How have I not seen these guys before... WOW
Looking forward for the next gig here in Germany! ♥️
A treat for the senses. What a song, what a performance, what a band!
performance again giving me goosebumps
In this musical world, he is something to reckon with..outlandish on stage, musically and cooing, yelping, shouting..wow
Such a pure soul
Future Islands are the best ! Awesome new song, awesome performance ! Love love love these guys
Am 18. August sehe ich sie zum ersten mal live!! Was hab ich einen Bock auf diese unfassbar geile Band!!
I LOVE his voice! I’m hooked.
Best thing on Colbert, since forever. Good on ya boys.
That intro was so unexpected. Love it
Can not wait to go and see these in Newcastle end of March been my fav band for around 4 year now.
Seeing them a few days before in Dublin. Living for it
I love these guys on principle alone but this song is a whole level up.
Who’s here because of FC25 🎉
🔥🔥 best song FC25
That was an impressive performance
Incredible performance....wow. I felt it to my soul.
Wow it's like watching the R.E.M for the first time this band bleeds for their art! He's a Goat if ever there was one!
Beautiful, pure energy! 💖
Always a unique sound!
LOVE this band! Herring brings such emotion to his craft and the band is perfect!!
These guys are epic. For the love of god please come to Florida!
