This was my life. My dad died, 8 months later my husband died. I was left to raise our two boys, aged 4 and 7, by myself. I have major depression. I pulled through... moved up at work and was paying a mortgage, car payment, and childcare for two kids, alone. My babies are now 26 and 23. But this song was my actual life, I couldn't love it anymore. Just had to share somewhere, no one else cares.
Hello, how are you? I care! And thank you for your report! You do not know when it will help someone who may be in the same current state. Your struggle may help more people. And that is admirable. Thank you very much. I don't know how big the thanks I could give. But thanks not for me, but for the people themselves that he might be able to reach. A hug from Brazil! Always have faith!
There's nothing worst than lose a son. My little brother passed away 2 years ago and our family still devastated, specially my mom. Sending love from Brazil.
And there she goes, She's sitting real nice with her head full of advice from freinds, She walks around, She try's to rearange but everything goes under her bed, And it's countless, She's got a jar full of change saved up for vacation, And she's watching, She's watching her sons growing up just like their mom, (And its hard for her) And i said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, You gotta start lifting your head up, head up, head up, And i said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, I know it's hard but you gotta get out of bed, out of bed, out of bed, (Yeah) She don't know what to do, She's got everything and nothing to loose, She's got a call from a guy just seeing if she's alright (Yeah), She's got a fistful of tears held back by the strength of five, And she says "Happiness ain't free. Everybody fights just like me but I've given up the ability to retreat", And i said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, You gotta start lifting your head up, head up, head up, And i said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, I know it's hard but you gotta get out of bed, out of bed, out of bed, (Yeah) She don't know what to do, Shes got everything and nothing to loose, (Yeah) You've got time to figure it out, I'm here so don't get scared, (Yeah) You've got time to figure it out, I'm here so dont be scared, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, And i said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, And i said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, And i said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby All alone, rest your head on my lap when you're down, All alone, rest your head on my lap, on my lap, Ruby don't cry
This brings me back almost 6 years ago: been some days since I found my new favorite band, my mother was having such a hard time raising me and my older sister who was abroad as a single mom to the point she fell in depression and when I heard this song I felt some sort of resolution, I had to help her somehow, so I rewrote the song and spanish and changed Ruby for Madre (Mother) and sung it for her, by the end of the song we were in tears and she also found her resolution, since then we kept on fighting against the odds until we found peace and stability. I so thank my mother for everything she's done for us, and FTP for creating such beautiful melodies.
This song always reminded me of my mom, growing up as a lower income family of 7 after a divorce and seeing her come home exhausted yet still able to always be there for us was something I never saw as astonishing until I got older
I don’t comment much anymore. But I come back here every now and again. I just finished my first year of college. I want my younger self to know that I am proud.
I remember finding this song a little while after it came out, and I was so in love with it. About 4 years later, it's quite possibly been the worst two years of my life and I suddenly remembered this song after not listening to it for all those years. The feeling of nostalgia, melancholy, and comfort all at the same time is so overwhelming and welcome at the same time.
10 year old me, almost 4 years ago would be crying to know that they have finally released this officially. I love this band so much and I'm proud to say that they are my favorite. I'm almost 15 and I know their music will still be with me and their future albums. I've been lucky enough to be able to go to their concert and itd be my dream to meet them. This song has always been my favorite.
Present day karla another 5 years later can say ruby has been released again. And to my past self, yes you were able to meet them :)) it’s still one of your favorite moments in life.
It's late and this song used to always make me cry, it's raining outside, just like in my heart. I love this song guys ❤️ -Happiness ain't free, everybody fights just like me-
Awh gosh, flashbacks to 2013 (or even earlier?) when this song used to make me teary in the weirdest emotional ways. Bless this song, it is magical. This style has always suited them amazingly well.
Roy Mustang *Joy division, damn, I guess it's my new favorite band, the music is fantastic and the feeling that they transmit it's great! again thanks for show me good music. P.S: I'll listen New Order and I'll tell you what I think about them.*
My aunt's name is ruby and she is like my mom. I thank the heavens everything she does for me. My great-grandmother is named ruby too. This song had me in tears
Zoe I didn't give anything up, it was all taken away. Fighting thieves. Crippled but still fighting this BS. Talking back when told ridiculous stuff. Missing people who can speak English decently. Trying to keep clean, keep fighting that. Eat healthy. I do believe in protein and veggies.
Don't let anyone say that the younger generation, or those born in the last 30 years or so, have no talent. These guys are terrific song and music writers, and fantastic performers live. I'm almost 60 (59) and I just love their music.
I think that Ruby is a single mother who is struggling emotionally. My mom is also single, and it's just been her and I. This song makes me think of what she could be thinking of when she's feeling down.
This is the kind of music that makes me feel like I'm falling, just falling. Into nothing. Falling into a dark bottomless pit. I honestly don't know why. But I love this kind of music that makes me feel like I'm falling, just falling, and falling.
When Foster the people is your favorite band and your name is Rubi
Lol c:
Y además te saluda :3
Saludos!
Itzel Rubi Aguilar Tiscareño when you realize that my teacher, ms foster, is this guys mom

She's got a fistful of tears held back by the strength of five,
And she says "Happiness ain't free. Everybody fights just like me but I've given up the ability to retreat",

You can "call it What you want" but foster the People is the Best band of indie rock
This has to be the soundtrack of the best romantic movie that hasn't been created yet
I remember finding this song a little while after it came out, and I was so in love with it.

What exactly do they mean? I don't really understand the lyrics or the meaning. Could you explain? An ex boyfriend send it to me, but I don't get it.

This song could almost have been written for my special-needs niece who is also named Ruby. This will be her anthem.

Foster The People, saving pop music one song at a time!
I can't believe yall are just now releasing this, it's more perfect than it used to be 😍
this song makes me cry
Why?
Foster The People make happy/sad sounding music. It can mess with your brain and make it seem super depressing.
I think that Ruby is a single mother who is struggling emotionally. My mom is also single, and it's just been her and I. This song makes me think of what she could be thinking of when she's feeling down.
So clean, it's like the heartbeat if mixed with music, beautiful.
This song and whole torches album helped me a lot with my depression a few years ago. Thank you guys for making the music ❤
I LOVE Foster The People!
This was the real Foster
I wasn't looking for a new song from Foster The People when I searched for Ruby, but I'm glad I found this.
This song has helped me through some shit..
Me Too Man?
I miss you so much, please make more music!!
So glad I randomly remembered this song. I loved it quite a few years ago and love it just the same today ❤️
the best music of the 2010s.

Come back, we need more alternative on pop radios.

This song keeps me goin every single day. Thanks ftp :)
Still love this song after all these years ❤

This Song is so beautifull... I can't explain how i feel when i listen it
Mark Foster's Falsetto is so beautiful. I admire his unique vocal talent. :')
great song love it foster the people 4 life👍😎
This is (for me) one of thoses airplane songs (when you imagine yourself listening to this in a airplane to a amazing place like, idk, Paris).
Makes me want to walk the streets of Boston or central Philadelphia on a rainy day.

Only 1.6mil views wtf how tf this song is so good wtf I guess only 1.6mill people only listen to good music
Esta banda es la mejor q he escuchado
