Future Islands - Long Flight Lyrics

Hope they will be on stage in Germany next year.

so cool

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itZJ6Wy-3cA found it

I went to Yoyogi park this year (it was a national holiday and past 4PM), but there were only two dancers there... :(

Idc what anyone says if I see a man dancing to his heart’s desire instead of following moves he’s pre-learned imma be attracted to him.

Is this even the video? It’s brilliant any time I hear this song I find myself dancing like the guys in the park

Saw them when they were not famous. Amazing! https://youtu.be/PK64n5npgEc

How I miss YouTube from the late-2000s, early 2010s...

I have always loved this song since I heard it many years ago. However, I really never connected to it until my ex spent the weekend with her lover and when she came home she couldn't look me in the eyes.

Temasoo ctm

Who's listening at ten past six?

Me and the boys after we successfully raid area 51 😂😂

This video is pure Art. Future Islands has the best groove too.

So much fun

Smiling and crying

hA HAS !WHAT IT WAS supposed to REA D WAS FUCK YES.💖🚀rnb

Afuco Yeps!rnb💖🚀

frnb💖🚀uco Yepo!

Does anybody know the name of that dancing?

BRILLIANT !

"One day, I will wear a red shirt...."

All Ways. Lifts my mood.

Es el cortejo , se están promocionando, buscan hembras.

Every Sunday.... We met in the park. We smoked,drank,we danced.

Lyrics

I got back from a long flight,
You said you'd meet me there,
I've been tripping off constellations and stars.
I found you at home, what was our home,
With another man, oh man.
Been keeping you in my heart.

And so I whispered into your ear,
"What are you thinking about?"
You just looked up at the stars

And so I whispered into your ear,
"Who are you thinking about?"
It couldn't be me

You can't look me in my eyes anymore,
Without the rivers to tend.
Because you remember our love was true,
But you just needed a hand,

And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
Without yourself to defend.
You know you hurt me so bad,
Just 'cause you needed a hand.

And I went off and saw things I've never seen,
I really wanted you there.
But you ruined what was love
Just 'cause you needed a hand

This is the way that it all falls.
This is how I feel,
This is what I need:
You, by me--right here--by me,
Right now.

And so I whispered into your ear,
"What are you thinking about?"
You just looked up at the stars

And so I whispered into your ear,
"Who are you thinking about?"
It couldn't be me

You can't look me in my eyes anymore,
Without the rivers to tend,
'Cause you remember our love was true,
But you just needed a hand.

And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
Without yourself to defend.
You know you hurt me so bad,
Just 'cause you needed a hand.

And I went off and saw things I've never seen,
I really wanted you there.
But you ruined what was love,
Just 'cause you needed a hand

Just 'cause you needed a hand

I got back from a long flight,
You said you'd meet me there,
I've been tripping off constellations and stars.
I found you at home, what was our home,
With another man, oh man.
Been keeping you in my heart.
And so I whispered into your ear,
"What are you thinking about?"
You just looked up at the stars
And so I whispered into your ear,
"Who are you thinking about?"
It couldn't be me
You can't look me in my eyes anymore,
Without the rivers to tend.
Because you remember our love was true,
But you just needed a hand,
And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
Without yourself to defend.
You know you hurt me so bad,
Just 'cause you needed a hand.
And I went off and saw things I've never seen,
I really wanted you there.
But you ruined what was love
Just 'cause you needed a hand
This is the way that it all falls.
This is how I feel,
This is what I need:
You, by me--right here--by me,
Right now.
And so I whispered into your ear,
"What are you thinking about?"
You just looked up at the stars
And so I whispered into your ear,
"Who are you thinking about?"
It couldn't be me
You can't look me in my eyes anymore,
Without the rivers to tend,
'Cause you remember our love was true,
But you just needed a hand.
And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
Without yourself to defend.
You know you hurt me so bad,
Just 'cause you needed a hand.
And I went off and saw things I've never seen,
I really wanted you there.
But you ruined what was love,
Just 'cause you needed a hand
Just 'cause you needed a hand.

I don't really know why;but,this is one of my favourite video's ever?

Fucking photographer's,get out the way please.

Underrated.

The radiation had no lasting effects.

Who needs hip hop?

We meet... We dance.

Really underrated tune me thinks??

одни брюнеты...

竹の子族で草

Doing my best to not dance

Love it 💗💕💖💓💞

Go RED JACKET MAN!

There have been 2 girls in life that I've loved: one I met during high school and as soon as we got really close, I had a depressive/suicidal episode that messed my life up for 4 years. We still talk, but we never got the timing to match up again.
The other was a woman who I lived with across the country who was twice my age. We were unconventional, unorthodox, and so in love. Ive never met a more accepting soul. I had to end it because I thought about if I wanted kids, marriage, etc.

I've been much better now and found inner peace through travel. But everytime I hear this song, I think about both of them. Not in a 'I wish I could date both' sort of way. But at different times in my life, I fully loved both of them in different ways. And there have been so many times that I've traveled to gorgeous unseen places and wished I could look over and see them next to me..that's all..just see them


'I went off and saw things I'd never seen, I really wanted you there'

wtf you ditched a woman you 'love' because of breeding? lol there is adoption. i wouldnt ever give someone a baby if they'd leave me if i didn't

@Maria Highton you're seeing a 4 sentence glimpse into a 2 year relationship that I could write novels about. We had many conversations that you will never know

Mine was the opposite... They didn't want kids

I adore this tune and this band

Saw them live last summer,best concert I've been too,he had so much energy on stage it was amazing

I love this corny video! haha

Yep! This is how I dance to this song....at home, alone....in my paint studio.

1st song I heard of these and still my favourite

Human mating dances are just as ridiculous as birds'. Here we see "Rockabillii Tokyanus", in all their natural ankle-shattering splendor.

Did these guys know the others existed before?

I’m moving to Mexico this year on October. My dad already has everything planned. He has people over there building a house for us but idk if it’s gonna be done by the time October comes. It doesn’t really matter though. My dad is forcing me my mom and sisters to go live with him. None of us want to because our life is here. Me and my sisters have lived in South Gate our whole lives and my dad doesn’t understand what he’ll put us through if he makes us move. I’ve been getting back into my old bad habits and I don’t want to say it’s because of him cause that sounds stupid it’s my choice but whatever. If he takes us with him I’ll lose my friends my boyfriend my school and everything I have here. I remember Samuel saying this song is about a guy who went on tour and when he came back home he realized he’d lost everything and I feel like that’s going to happen to me. By the time I’m able to come back here everything’s going to have changed. I know it will. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’ve been so out of it lately and I can’t take my mind off of it. Future islands music makes me feel better cause it gives me hope. Idk how to to describe it but they’re music makes me think of being free. I love future islands and I hope I don’t move from this place I know how to navigate around with my eyes closed.

I hope everything works out for you Leslie.

i miss you

If Carlsberg special brew did adverts for Japanese Elvi..

I’d love to know what they’re really dancing to

Buena rola, soy de México y si les llevo a un chavo banda los destroza en el baile. Saludos
