I discovered this song the year my wife died... It's become the song I go to when the grief weighs heavy. Sublime blend of words and music.
I’m sorry for your loss
🖤🖤🖤
I wish you lot of love in your present and your future life. I also love this music. Your comment is touching. Hope everything good for you.
Sorry for your loss bro 🇮🇪💚
Keep fighting brother. lost my daughter 2 years ago, the void will never be filled in your heart but life does go on. we will embrace our loved once’s again in the next life.
I started running last summer, hadn’t ran for fun in twenty years, and it’s been a feeling of peace and freedom for me after overcoming alcohol addiction. Anyhow, I had just found out about these guys and put this on my running playlist and I thought their fans might be surprised that this is a great tune to zone out to while running along with some of their other songs. Glad I found them even if I was late to the party, they are inspiring
I loved reading this comment, thank you for sharing it! I haven't ran in years and I would really like to get into it again. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Who's vibing to this in 2020?
Since 2010, when i listened it for the first time in "How To Make It In America"
Its important to have good memories..... cause nothing is permanent.
All the cool kids.
Alwayssssssss
Went back to this album during lockdown. It has kept me going ever since. It just takes time!
This song makes me feel happy on this inside and sad on the outside.
callum Thompson from the inside is what matters. The outside will take care of itself, so to speak.
This song makes me feel happy on the outside and sad on the inside
Carlos Geissendoerfer I agree with you for me is the same...
Balanced.
Miguel Martins because its sounds nostalgic
Anxiety and depression fighters
It just takes time ♥️
Thank you. You don't know how much i needed that.
Thank you
Love it Ryan. This song makes me want to roundhouse the heck out of A&D in life.
❤️
Thanks, too long aparently!
Honestly, this is pure poetry in motion. If you, or anyone you know who is going through some difficulties, put this on. Help you or not you realise you aren't alone. Future Island you legends!
I love heavy bass. I love synth. I love this guy's voice. Most perfect combination of all time. ♥
During 2020 I was on deployment with the Navy, COVID hit whilst we were away, extending our time away from our families, civilisation and normal life. Music like this got me through those times of uncertainty, not knowing when I would get the chance to get home. Thank-You Future Islands for creating such great heart-warming music.
I heard this song like 10 years ago. Never forgot about it except the name and band. Never found it and looked so hard. Spotify just played it for me the other day at last 🥰
What a bass player. WOW.
haha as good as it sounds its fairly simple... you can pick up bass and be playing this by the end of the week.
You can clean around the wound
But if you want it to heal
It just takes time
And you can call up to the moon
But if you want something to change
You've gotta change your life
And take your time
It just takes time
It just takes time
It just takes time
Hard work and your time
The sun will leave the room
Will leave you to the night
And that's alright
Because before the morning comes
There's a certain calm
And then there's light
It just takes time
It just takes time
A little trust and your time
You can change your life
It just takes time
A little trust and your time
And I can sit and talk
Because I was just like you
So arrogant and brave
Impetuous and blue
But trust me as a friend
And I'll do all that I can do
And I'd do anything for you
Because I want to see you through
It just takes time
Hard work and your time
You can change your life
It just takes time
A little trust your time
A little trust and your time...
HerrSchuh1 gr8 sound
HerrSchuh1 xxxx CcxxXX

props to the producer for capturing it and to you sir for posting these words.
HerrSchuh1 May god bless you 🙏
So inspirational, just heard this and already it’s one of my favorites
This song keeps my quarter-life crisis in check.
Have you listend to lighthouse by future island gives such a good feeling
Tatiana Neal This song keeps my MID-life crisis in check. ;)
***** This song just averts a lot of crisis! lol
I'm 28 not sure if that counts but I hear you!!! loud and clear
Totally counts, Nathan! I think its a great song for understanding periods of transition.
This song got me through the roughest and best times of my life. Such a great track man 😍😫
Balance is my favorite word...and it haunts me lately so i'm making this song my life theme song...the universe speaks to me through it:)
I can't be the only who to replay this three times. It always gets me 🖤
Just three times though…?
I usually replay it 4 - 7 times
It’s my favorite future islands song tied with beach foam
I can't stop listening to this. So beautiful.
And you can clean around the wound
If you want to
It just takes time
And you can go to the moon
But if you want something to change
You gotta change your life
And take your time
It just takes time
It just takes time
It just takes time
Hard work and your time
And the sun will leave a wound
And leave you to the night
And that's alright
Because before the moonbeam comes
There's a certain calm
And then there's light
It just takes time
It just takes time
A little trust and your time
You can change your life
It just takes time
A little trust and your time
And I can sit and talk
'Cause I was just like you
So arrogant and brave
Impetuous and rude
Trust me as a friend
And I'll do all that I can do
And I'd do anything for you
Because I want to see you through
It just takes time
Hard work and your time
You can change your life
It just takes time
A little trust and your time
A little trust and your time
A little trust and your time
It just takes time
It just takes time
Hard work and your time
This is intelligent music that is thought provoking and emotional. Not like the crap mainstream stuff. This music has meaning and a profound heart.
great song, It makes me forget about the heavy burdens of this life.
Make lemonade
I heard this song a lot in my favorite radio station during the early stage of my relationship with my beloved. Every day was like a dream, this amazing bubble you feel you are in when you're in love, protected from everything, not caring about anything.
Heard it first at the end of a relationship. Different worlds, huh?
This song makes me want to travel the world
You should
Same and just get away
This beautiful video just made me realize I will never be young again
+Henry Chinaski but realize it wasnt much better when we were younger than it is now
+coco meier not sure what you mean. However, I actually enjoy not being young anymore because - I have to say - I was awful at it. This video just gives me some sort of fake nostalgia and kinda makes me wish to be that age, but now.
You can still hitchhike to the beach and eat funnel cake ;-)
Henry Chinaski u are never too young
you mean "Never to old"??
I watched this video in my shitty apartment on my 21st birthday in texas, surrounded by piles of moving boxes. I was alone, drinking a sad 12 pack that I was now old enough to buy, thinking about the upcoming move to Boston. After a very long drive (about 36 hours ), when i arrived in boston, I remember driving around one night and discovering Revere beach, sinking my toes in the sand, and re-listening to/watching this. It was magical. Boston is a fucking gorgeous place and will always have my heart.
this song DEFINITELY HELPS to get you in a better POSITIVE mood
It sure helped me out
this video is heartbreaking. you can tell that when he looks at her, there’s nothing but love and joy. but when she looks at him, it’s a subtle resentment
Nothing more amazing than young love... plus this band is amazing!
That bass line reminds me so much of New Order.
that's exactly what I was thinking too
well...I actually thought Joy Division first, Ha
wavenet digital
It's so funny that you say that and that +BSeff03 says Joy Division because the way I've been describing this band to people is what would have happened right between Joy Division and New Order. Dance-y and good, but still with some rawness.
ceremony
This gives me pure joy.
This song gives me a sense of directionless hope..
Heavy stuff.
jason graham Amen brother
jason graham so well said
jason graham do.
jason graham great point! So true. Love this video
the best part of life is being in love with that special someone...that is really living. It's just a damn shame when it all falls apart like it inevitable does. makes me sad :( Always
my dude, having loved is 1000 years of amazingness and fullfillness.... feeling heartbreak... thats the best part, because it redefines what you have felt, and it makes you really value how you felt during that time you fell in love...it all happens in cycles sadly... until you truly meet that special someone... after that there isnt escape. only end. And its only then that youll feel 1,000,000 years of amazing-ness and full-fillness....
recently got played by someone who i thought i could trust. This song makes me happy though.
Tony Rojas So you're saying after loved many different girls and having been heartbroken relentless times you still end up falling in love
yeah eventually, with time, and a recovered heart is a smart one, next time you wont fall easily in love.
BSteff03 To be honest, I love being alone, I have my Kameraden :)
I'm really digging this band's sound right now
This song makes me feel hope that everything is gonna be fine 💙
Man, I'm crying so hard with these lyrics. I really needed this right now, I fucked up bad in many instances of my life because I was too arrogant yet too shy, but I'm working on what I want, it's not time to give up. I will learn to surf one day and I will feel free with friends, it just takes time.
Deep
Hard work and time
Amazing words
Take my advice chum and try thinking about others more than yourself, otherwise you may disappear up your own arse - as it sounds like you have!
@@herrfister1477 did that make you feel good writing that? I wonder? I hope you have peace my dude.
The opening lyrics to this song are so powerful. Gets me every time
this song makes me happy and sad. it's so good.
"Balance" is appropriate for all them powerslides in the rain
360flipsarerad Phil Zwijsen 😜😜😜
Been coming back to this video for years. Only just realized it's in New Jersey and in the beginning he has a sign that says "beach" but they spend the whole video going the wrong way 😂. Love my home state - NJ all day 🗽♥️
What...: in the hell.
If music was like this
I’d Be so fucking happy
It was a different time
They are still eternal
These guys have never made a bad album
Estoy en aislamiento total, tras dar positivo a Covid, esta canción me motiva a no perder la esperanza y se ah vuelto mi himno de batalla, y me motiva a salir adelante y no dejarme vencer, tarde o temprano venceremos al covid y yo también me encontraré en alguna carretera buscando una nueva aventura y esta canción de fondo ❤️
Se encuentra mejor?
y como fueron las cosas?
i love this song still. always will.
woooow, what extravagant looking couple, matches the type of music
Amazing
This comment is 10 years old
I cant stop crying, this is so beautiful
First time hearing this was live in concert I never knew who they were. Mann his energy was through the roof, from that show I can't listen to this the same way. Man he was dancing all over the stage and it made me wanna too
At long last as the old age of 28 do I finally feel I have a concrete plan for the future
if you want it to heal
it just takes time
Hope your days going well Kati
@@frizzybob this aint tinder fella
This song makes me feel the bittersweet torture of thinking about the person I love and how although he will remain a part of my life, we will never be able to be together.
Randomly started diggin through Future islands because of Clams Casino - Ghost in a kiss and i find this. Went to school with the peeps in the video. crazy
Andre George wow haha clams casino is one of my favourite artist too, i came here by accident hha
@@tractorboy678 u should know Future Islands is no accident
Just discovered this band and I can’t believe they slipped under my radar. I was listening to stuff like MGMT, Empire of the Sun, Ratatat, Boards of Canada, etc. around 10 years ago.
Came here from NPRS tiny concert. I was diggin this last song a lot.
heard this live about 3 hours ago in London.......absolutely amazing!
Nowthisisliving bring me here...... Nice song....
Mysticfalls same :) but two years later
Harmonica on the inside, drums on the ER outside
I recently discover Future Islands because of a video from "The faction collective", and I love it !This band is amazing!
Elbee Thrie (Male actor) has some good music!
I'm glad I read that tape at 2:48 and googled it XD
Oh to be young again. The joy's of life. Life is a gift from God don't wast it
You can hear the joy division influence in their sound. What a great video to put their sound to...
my favorite song from future islands an at 76 years old i can dance like him still too
Some things don't choice a age to beeing celebratades! Keep going!
@@MrLucasdelik thanks, thats very nice of you an postive coming from a young man, freuquency, energy, postive vibes are for all ages. boogoe on buddy
we love future islands.
Gives me Rod Stewart vibes..I dig it ✌🏻
Came here to say this. Exactly Rod Stewart vibes
I looooove this song. Makes me sad, but also it gives me hope.
Love love love this song
If this song doesn't make you want to get up and dance like nobody Is watching then there's something wrong with you.
ture
omg, exactly!!!
There's something wrong with me.
Maybe there's something wrong with me but NOTHING makes me want to dance. I can't dance (and it's not meant as a quote ;-)), I don't like dancing, I feel awkward as fuck when I try to dance so I just refuse.
@@Bassdriver Smiling is fine too 😃
Thank you Lumia 1520 commercial
this song payed the when i looked at my ex and knew i loved her. now its painful and beautiful to listen to now. heart wrenching actually. on of my favorite songs ever, it feels ruined now. but in others the memories of the past are so beautiful. the pain i feel is some how worth it.
better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all :) hope you're doing better man
If I didn't see them live on the ACLTV, I wouldn't have ever discovered them. Foolish I am were I to miss Future Islands. What a performer and band! #awesome
i loop this for long nights with homework/jobs
shes beautiful
awesome song, awesome band, awesome video. love future islands!!
One of my all time favorite
They will be famous now, believe me, they r great
This song is getting me through a breakup
Most of the vid was filmed in West Milford New Jersey. Sums up the summer here perfectly. Timeless song
Who’s slapping this during quarantine?
This is a song I need in my life. It reminds me that sometimes, success takes time and it shouldn’t be rushed
Amo estas canciones son tan mágicas ' y con sonidos casi astrales para mi #love future islands
I'm still in love with this song! 💙
ES NORMAL EXPERIMENTAR UNA SENSACIÓN DE LIBERTAD TAN AGRADABLE?
perfect video for this song
One of my favorites! 💯🎶
In love ♡
Saw this band in 2017 drunk as hell, didn't appreciate the genius then, but sure do now. Glad i circled back again and listened for a second more sober time
Love this song❤
This makes me feel so much mixed feelings almost to mourn... Love this song and video :')
They are WAY too cute in this video. And props to yall for rockin it out in Portugal! My best friend said yall had the best set of the fest. Much love!
Love this video, reminds me of a time I once knew, a special time with a special person, very dear to me; a person with a kind heart.
this video just cheers me up so much!
2019 vibes! ❤️
I absolutely love this song!!!❤️ It Speaks Volumes!!! 😘
What an Amazing song!! ❤❤❤ These guys are Awesome!!
I'm I'm getting to see this band tonight. I discovered them by randomly popping on this song after a night when I really need to hear the song. And for some reason even though the song makes me extremely happy it's not sad tears but it always makes me cry
Love this a lot
THIS VIDEO IS PERFECT! I love them!!!
It's good to just take a break from reality and explore... Balance
God, I love these dudes. Ain't nothin like em.
“Balance” is about “not pushing so hard in your life.” It’s Sam Herring in his late 20’s talking to Sam Herring in his early 20’s, wishing he knew then what he knows now.
Beautiful
My ex heard this song and said it reminded her of us...
We recently broke up...we both aren't perfect and got into a bad fight.
I just wish I could run away with her...💔💔💔
I love you SEJ....
total love
This song was my youth.
