      I am 60 and make paintings that want to be Leonard Cohen songs. The future of rock and roll is a damn island of almost deceptive originality. Beautiful and uncharted. I thank them.

    We saw these guys in Salt Lake City, outdoor festival. Within 5 minutes this dude was drenched in sweat. The way he danced, pounded his chest, that deep growl thing....well me and my daughter had a good laugh.. That being said, I was a true fan, by the end of the show.

      My most treasured concert memory is one of the smallest I've ever been to
      and it was with you - Romeo Void! God, we used to have some fun! I need to
      plan a visit to your neck of the woods. Looking at schools with my
      daughter....are there any in the area that we just have to see?
      Love you.
      Paula

    • @grytlappar
      @grytlappar Před 9 lety +2

      +Paula Biestek - Roland Gift, definitely! It's such a distinctive voice; it's kind of high and low at the same time, if that's possible... When he sings high, his voice is still rich and it has this 'boom' to it. Fucking love this guy. The dancing is just icing on the cake. :)

    Love this video. Sam is the man with one of the most unique voices and vocal performance in decades. He also has a great way of connecting with the audience. Their audience is growing exponentially in the last year and all their success is so well deserved.

    • @mikekay5773
      @mikekay5773 Před 10 lety +1

      So you've not heard of Mike Patton from Faith No More then? Vocally amazing, has a huge octave range and has better dance moves thn this guy.

  • @jasecarter1
    @jasecarter1 Před 9 lety +17

    Just 'discovered' this bands' music.. and after 30 years as an avid U2 fan I can safely say no front man has made me want to watch and listen to a band so much since Bono.....nothing to do with the musical style......just the amount of energy and effort given in the performance captivates me...just great :)

    • @TSOL2023
      @TSOL2023 Před 9 lety +43

  • @unclesigsig
    @unclesigsig Před 9 lety +14

    As crazy a performance this guy puts on, I can't stop watching or listening to Future Islands.
    You can't say he doesn't have passion, that's for sure, and the songs are legitimately beautiful songs. I think his metal growls and chicken dances can be a but distracting, but it doesn't take away from the fact that they are a group of damn good musicians.
    I laughed my way through their Letterman performance months and months ago, but seriously cannot get enough of them now.
    We'll worth a go!

    • @kamalmanzukie

  • @sebgalvan5437
    @sebgalvan5437 Před 9 lety +15

    People who critique this and blow it up with narcissistic rage seem to not grasp the obvious here. It's not about how technical music is, or how well spoken/sung. It's about how it makes you FEEL, you could say dubstep and or trance is garbage because all you hear is a bunch of sounds but to someone else it's much much more and they feel every ounce of it.

    • @AtomicPeace
      @AtomicPeace Před 9 lety

      Agree. Totally...

    • @iridescentsquids
      @iridescentsquids Před 9 lety

      Agreed. And the best stuff can be hard to explain even when it's very simple. Just looking at the comments--whether to praise it or put it down, people try to dissect it but are having a hard time explaining how it works.

  • @KeepTheFocus
    @KeepTheFocus Před 9 lety +4

    Heavenly powerful take. Even more so if you consider singer Samuel T. Herring was pulling this off right after collapsing from exhaustion from touring.

  • @1ElCondor
    @1ElCondor Před 10 lety +4

    Future Islands, from Greenville (nicknamed: The Spirit of the East, The Emerald City, G-Vegas), North Carolina.
    The Band "Future Islands" formed in Greenville, North Carolina, in 2006, won a surprising popularity, largely by "guilt" of his 4th recent studio-album "Singles" published in March, 2014, but not only. Its uniqueness in this area of music, is also due to how to put into practice their songs, the lyrics, and also the charisma, expressivity and performance live on stage their frontman and lead vocalist Samuel T. Herring, the contrasts, a energy, a rhythmic and danceable sound, with a posture with some sobriety and discretion, the message that their lyrics want convey. So, inexplicably, as i heard someone comment, arrives to cause a depth emotional moments in public. So, this músic, in which many artists would be trite and commonplace, implemented by the hands of this band "Future Islands", becomes an interesting and good level of performance.
    And so much so, that between January 2006 and July 2014, "Future Islands" held approximately 900 live shows, tours the US and Europe, so no wonder the singer is showing signs of fatigue and hoarseness in the voice, that should take care and lead to very seriously. And more than 60 performances scheduled from August to November 2014, of which, even today, 15 "sold out".

    La mejor canción del año y Top 5 de la década. De esas joyitas que salen de vez en cuando. Que si el vocalista esta viejo? O que si baila chistoso? es lo de menos. Cierren los ojos, abran los oídos y disfruten de esta maravilla, sin prejuicios ni etiquetas.
