      years ago I posted this song on my facebook feed sort of mocking the lead singer's performance, but over the years I have absolutely fallen in love with it. The song is fantastic, and his commitment to selling it to the audience is admirable. I think an underrated part is Letterman's reaction. He couldn't love it any more than he does. He's giddy when he comes out there. I am now madly in love with the song and even more in love with the performance. Great call on this one.

    I randomly saw this Letterman performance on UA-cam. Which many people did. And it jump started Future Islands career. It was the first time they were on TV. Fast forward a few years. I turned 3 friends on to them cuz this performance. And we all went to the Greek Theater in LA to see them. Met people who were at the Greek that found them here on the Letterman video too. Greek sold out. Largest crowd they enter had. Sam the singer cried on stage saying it was the largest audience he’s had for their own band. They are coming back to the Greek this September. And one of my friends I turned on to the band bought the tickets for me this time. Going full circle. Best live band I’ve seen.

    One of my favorites of all time.
    (I am 65 years old)
    David Letterman and Conan O'Brien were great for bringing on obscure artists.
    (i caught Talib Kweli on Conan one night, and brought his book, Vibrate Higher; and learned a lot)
    Hands down ‼️ It would be hard to find a more, honest, raw, soulful performance than this.. I know music, having been born in Detroit- Motown, with a musician father, in 1957. I would love to see a collaboration between Sam and Brittany Howard from Alabama Shakes. She is another spectacular talent. I am just glad that the tradition of authentic music lives on.

      One of my favourites too, and i am 65 too!. I have discovered that in my old age, I seek out more genres of music than I ever did when young and the more I look around, the more I discover that there is so much out there. African beats, Arunachal Pradesh up and coming musicians, I could go on and on. And I suppose like most my age, I am conscious that there is SO MUCH to learn. It all serves to keep me alive.

    I’ve been a fan of Future Islands for a while, since I think around the time of this broadcast. As a Brit, we have to rely on UA-cam to get the Letterman shows, but they also performed the same year on Jools Holland’s show on BBC2. Since then I’ve got most of their records and seen them 3 times live. Sam and the Boys always knock the tunes out of the park, with soulful lyrics and a groove no other bands can match. 🎉
