Alabama Shakes - Future People Lyrics






Some want to see
Those who've gone above
Friends that they lost
People they love
I'd rather meet
Freedom than roam
To lead me through the fog
Couldn't ask for more

Children
Take a living
Gotta keep up
You got to give a little, get a little
And see it
Like future people

Some things could be
Seen from above
Thread of design
Don't trip me up

Children
Take a living
Gotta keep up
You got to give a little, get a little
And see it
Like future people

Listen to teachers
Imagine a sound
Listen loud
And then they'll reach the top

Alabama Shakes Future People Comments
  1. T.... f....

    I would love to see a documentary movie based on her

  2. J.... W....

    There are people who dislike this?

  3. L.... R....

    Holy fuck! She's amazing as fuck! New favorite

  4. G.... P....

    I'm in love with this guitar tone

  5. T.... C....

    Man, that synth is dirty...

  6. J.... D....

    Just realized her earrings are a picture of Prince's face. 😆

  7. S.... b....

    as soon as I heard the first few strums of the guitar I knew this was going to rock

  8. D.... D....

    I love how she gets so deep into the music.

  9. I.... ....

    That backup singer in the middle is really vibing

  10. M.... ....

    I love this song. This live version is probably my favorite alabama shakes song.

  11. L.... ....

    Yes this is right up my alley. But its still a rip-off. Skunk Anansie been doing it better for two decades.

    You already had a crowd with your voice and riff.

    Why steal from another?

    You are you.


    But none of you are or will ever be Skunk Anansie.

    I had so much faith in you, then i find this.
    Its not bad..but its not yours.


    So fucking disappointed

  12. s.... ....

    Damn they fn rock Northeast Ohio loves yall

  13. J.... J....

    Great fucking song... The moment I Saw backup singers with drumsticks..rock was to follow

  14. R.... ....

    So underrated. I really hope the reunite in the future.

  15. f.... b....

    C'est bon ça !

  16. S.... G....

    GOD. DAMN. What a talented person she is. An artist. An inspiration.

  17. C.... P....

    I don’t even need a glass of anything but this! Why hasn’t it won an award?

  18. j.... ....

    this is a good song

  19. A.... ....

    Music for your mind, body and soul!

  20. D.... n....

    I wonder if the backing singers, maybe being used to supporting not so great lead voices, look at her and think - now she is the real deal, and backing her is kind of special?

  21. C.... H....

    Bass player is chill af. Mad respect

  22. G.... ....

    Loving the mix, way to highlight the musicians ability but add just a touch more

  23. A.... S....

    Can you imagine them with St. Paul and the Broken Bones? Roof would be rattling.

  24. H.... ....

    Se imagine de frente a um quadro, que toda pincelada de cores alternadas de formicas chega a uma linda obra, toda vez q ouso ela tenho esta mesma impressão, são toques, chiados, notas, batidas, que ao final temos uma Bela composição, parabéns estou impressionado!

  25. R.... C....

    Are these guys still a thing? I need to see them live 2019 or 2020

    R.... C....

    Royal Chicano their lead singer just released a solo album so it’ll be a while before a new record.

  26. K.... C....

    My daughter is going to sing this will have 8th grade graduation 2020 ppl

  27. M.... ....

    how do i have sex with audio

  28. L.... G....

    Watching this talent is giving me so much hope.
    I just discovered them 🙈
    Greetings from Perú!

  29. e.... ....

    Lookit that right hand tech Brittany's doing!

  30. K.... C....

    How the hell does she sound like this live! So much damn talent.

  31. M.... ....

    Bass player lost 2 calories while playing this fantastic tune...

  32. A.... B....

    next level soul...I also am mad at myself for knowing this band existed for like 8 years and never searching them once, despite knowing I knew I'd like em'.

  33. K.... W....

    How could anyone possibly give this mighty music a thumbs down? Trolls?

  34. J.... T....

    Plus size black girl gets no respect , bet if she was skinny white chick you'd here this joint on radio. Damn shame!!

  35. l.... k....

  36. J.... T....

    This band is so Kool bass chilling, drums tight as f. Lead on point , keys grooving Britt well, god.

  37. M.... T....

    Holy fuck that was amazing

  38. j.... k....

    bass player is the killer

  39. C.... a....

    I'm just hearing this tonight and all I have to say, is, a sense of insecurity on the thought that rock and and roll was dying...



    It's not..

    C.... a....

    I respect your observation but RnR is actually dying. This music is incredibly good; yet, it doesnt satisfy the contemporary demand for popular music. In other words, if their music were to be more on the pop side, their views would be wayyyyy more

  40. O.... S....

    Blown away!!!

  41. s.... ....

    She is so damn amazing. This is a band that when we say "they don't make music like they used to," is one of the few exceptions. They fucking rock.

  42. T.... H....

    Never heard of this band or Brittany Howard, but wow girl, you rock.

  43. K.... F....

    The woman is a legend.....

  44. L.... W....

    There really are few words to describe how incredible this is :)

  45. A.... M....

  73. E.... H....

    So fan since the first time I saw this video! That somebody know how they achieve this crazy fuzz sound? On bass or guitar? With kind of effect is it?

  74. H.... N....

    That''s riiight girl!! '..Bring your own light to the darkness..''

  75. C.... S....

    A double bill made in heaven. Black Keys and Alabama Shakes.

  76. J.... J....

    When hipsters grow up.

  77. D.... H....

    Insanely talented! A similar voice that rocks you to the core is the Marcus King Band... Check that guy out. Similar impact when I first heard it.

  78. C.... W....

    So dam good to hear a band/singer with individuality these days ...superb.

  79. A.... A....

    una bestiaaa !!!

  80. G.... ....

    Perusing music on YouTube and stumbled upon this group. I am blown away. Brittany Howard's voice and style are phenomenal. This group is a keeper. Looking to buy a CD now. Love 'em!

  81. w.... _....

    Preset Gods of Rock and Roll

  82. C.... B....

    I was shown this band by someone very close to me at a time in my life when I didn't know I needed the shakes. Brittany's voice is out of this world to me, there's no mood that isn't a shakes mood. I only wish I could see them live. I'm not sure if they are still together?

  83. L.... M....

    Did anyone else clap at the end?

  84. C.... F....

    I swear to god, this gets better and better every time I listen to it! So good!

  85. B.... D....

    why is she so fuckin dope, though!!!!?//

  86. R.... T....

    Why do I get more and richer bass out of this rather on Spotify?

  87. M.... Z....

    esto es maravilloso

  88. T.... M....

    Mulher bonita do crlh!

  89. �.... �....

    "Cool" guitar dude sitting in the middle of the room needs to stand the f... up.
    Seriously, unless he's paralysed or something...

  90. r.... C....

    My life has been a lie. My ears... My Brain🎙

  91. �.... �....

    😆💪👍

  92. A.... L....

    So obsessed

  93. J.... M....

    This bears a remarkable resemblance to ' time is tight ' by Booker T and the MGs. Certainly the intro at any rate. Is it homage? In peace no aggro please cheers.

  94. P.... _....

    Вау! Wau!
