I don't know why they didn't put this on Supermodel. It's a wonderful song. And, they put in The Angelic Welcome of Mr. Jones, but not the rest of the song. Idk why.
It's similar to Goats In Trees and The Truth, I bet Mark wrote it but had second thoughts about it, because its about very dark topics in his life. And he decided not to put it on the album cause it was too personal. It makes me cry even more from knowing that..
3:15 OH MY GOD That's where The Angelic Welcome of Mr. Jones comes from. This just blew my mind. Why have I not heard this song before? Now it all makes sense! My life is complete.
Around the time when Super Model was released, in an interview, Mark Foster got asked about The Angelic Welcome of Mr. Jones and he said it was from a song called "The Unforeseeable Fate of Mr Jones which had yet to be released... and now they finally did xD
WHITEPERSUAS1ON they’re still my favorite! :) I’ve been able to see them perform live twice and be able to meet them as well. They have a special place in my heart since I’ve basically grown up with them for half my life. I will always be thankful for how they shaped the way I enjoy listening to music. Funny enough Ive been listening to this song a lot this past week :,))
It's really great to see how they started as a total indie/alternative band, and even after landing a radio hit (Pumped Up Kicks), they have not sold out and continue to make beautiful, humble music like this. Foster The People forever.
LYRICS [Verse 1] Well Mr. Jones took a terrible fall He had built the stairs but he hadn't counted them all And the lights and the pain said it would rain He said it would snow He always said that, wherever he would go And he would write down his thoughts on the wall [Pre Chorus 1] Something about the power of it all Call if you care for me at all I've been surrounded by this loneliness And If I could I would do it all over again And I would be calm and wait for you To show me all the things that no one else can do Now what you need, what you got, what you want from me I've got the wild inside to conquer and then I'll be free [Hook 1] If I was free, if I was free I would fly in between the moons of consciousness And ride on the back of a shooting star And float into your arms [Verse 2] And when he woke up, he went outside and changed the light bulb Figured out that life was worth living when you could see The doctor said they'd counseled him before and his tired mind of war Pre Chorus 2] But he was at war with himself and he lost it all He was at home now feeling the power of the crumbling wall [Hook 2] Oh, if I was free I'd fly in between the moons of indolence And I'd ride on the back of a shooting star And float into your arms If I was free I'd let go of all the weight that's dragging me And never again and never again I put it all down and never again and never again [Bridge] Ahhh Never again Ahhh [Verse 3] And he met God that day And God said, "Well, welcome in I've been waiting for you Your bed is warm Your sheets are made" [Hook 3] Free, and I was free I didn't even know that I'd been captured But I remember the call, I remember the call I remember when your voice came through the wall And I was there and I was scared I didn't even know that you were listening And all those times I was shaking my head From all the things I'd said [Outro] Ahhh
I don't listen to foster the people often but I always seem to go back to this music during hard times. When I went through bullying. When my health went bad in the military and I had to reroute my life goals. When I suffered bad domestic violence. When there was reconciliation. When I was thinking of leaving. There is something about their music that makes you not feel alone.
For me this is exactly why they are so good. They don't make a song after song with bad quality. They master them to every little sound. And we appreciate their art because we get a new album very rarely :)
That's actually a good thing. Bands that tour and produce constantly burn out and start to suck. Everyone needs a break. It's why this band is still good.
This has been my favorite song and I kept it a secret because it’s just so special. I shared it with an ex and now it’s all I think about. That rainy afternoon, in a muddy park. Looking into great clouds passing by. Looking at his face, wondering if it was watery eyes or the rain. I think it was both.
+Gabriel Cruz made me think of my uncle he had diabetes and was about to die soon. and the lyrics "but he was at war with himself and he lost it all,he was at home now feeling the power of the crumbling wall" these lyrics made me think about him so much. idk why maybe because he was at war with himself...💔
3:16 en esta parte me da una sensación en mi pecho, amo tanto las canciones de Foster The people, cada una me transmite un sentimiento, me inspira, me relaja✨
I'm dying to have more Foster the People in my mind. I'm so sad they're not in full-swing anymore. Supermodel and Torches is all I need for some days when it comes to what I'm listening to, but it makes me sad to see little evidence of a possible tour or anything in the future.
Don't be sad. They are currently working for their third album plus you can download their collaboration with band Nanakato! The "Hide and Seek" track where Mark was the one who played guitar and a bonus Foster the People's Hide and Seek remix track.
Jeremy Iris Pineda I saw that one track but I thought that was all they were going to do... and it's all Japanese or... some language, forgive my ignorance. I'm not a fan of music I can't understand BUT, if they're working on something then that's amazing to know. How did you find out? I've looked around and I can't find any recent news about them. :S
Mark announced that they've been working on a new album. I think he tweeted that he couldn't wait to come back "next year" (this was in 2015) with new music. Though, with the looks of it, I think we won't see any new material until early-mid 2017. He also mentioned working with One Republic on a song that is supposedly "Houdini's little brother". Cant wait!!!
This song has that kind of calmness I can't describe. You just gotta feel it from inside. Seems like i know it forever. Thank you ftp for this. "If i was free, I didn't even know that I have been captured"
Daniel Clark Just read some articles/interviews from the band. Mark Pontius says it's about halfway done. Mark Foster said that they have about 70 song ideas for the new album, apposed to 14-18 for Supermodel and Torches. I'm predicting a couple singles are going to be released some time around March 2017.
Bianca Rich Here you go! www.channel24.co.za/Rocking-the-Daisies/mark-from-foster-the-people-tells-us-all-about-coming-to-sa-20160823 Enjoy the anticipation. ;)
They started playing some of their old singles on the radio here in Austin, Texas, lately. I wonder if that is sign of things to come. It feels like it's been forever. I wish they could release a new song every month or something lol
I love this band so much , I can't wait for their new album this year , hopefully.... their music is just so good , really makes you get so contemplative 💯
Esta canción me recuerda cuando era un adicto a heroina no podía dejar de consumir lloraba escuchando esta canción mirando como mi vida se estaba destrullendo como todo se lo estaba llevando la droga pero al momento de escucharla me sientia mejor y la anciedad pasaba
Tengo sentimientos encontrados con esta canción. Es muy melancolica y movida, cuando estoy triste escucho esto y me pongo a pensar, pasan muchas cosas en mi mente y esta canción es como mi soporte emocional.
I personally would prefer Time to Get Closer to get a full song. The synth start of Orange Dream always shocks me whenever I put their songs on shuffle, so I removed it.
I mean, in a perfect world we go both :P I just feel Time to Get Closer is more "complete" in its current state, while Orange Dream leaves you wanting more. You can even hear the riff start over in Orange Dream, as it fades out
listened to this song for the first time today, for some reason i never found out about it. needless to say, instantly fell in love. wow. you’ve done it again to me mark foster.
Do you have the archives Foster & Co uploaded to uTorrent? The link doesnt work anymore and i don't have the old archives that had the song in Hi Res Lossless .wav
Foster The People. Su mural, su autenticidad, su perfección e invención a la hora de componer. Siempre traen algo nuevo para mostrar a su público de una forma más sentimental y única. Esperemos que el nuevo álbum llegue pronto.
It's almost been 3 years since this came out, yet it feels like yesterday. I can vividly remember what I was doing when I listened to this for the first time.
i think is kinda on purpose bc how they both talk about illness but in such different point of views, I also think thats one of the reasons this song wasn't included in the album
I don't know why they didn't put this on Supermodel. It's a wonderful song. And, they put in The Angelic Welcome of Mr. Jones, but not the rest of the song. Idk why.
The full song wasn’t finished in time for Supermodel’s release
hold on until supermodel x
It's similar to Goats In Trees and The Truth, I bet Mark wrote it but had second thoughts about it, because its about very dark topics in his life. And he decided not to put it on the album cause it was too personal. It makes me cry even more from knowing that..
@theoneandonly7019 no SM X this year, very sad.
3:15 OH MY GOD
That's where The Angelic Welcome of Mr. Jones comes from.
This just blew my mind. Why have I not heard this song before? Now it all makes sense! My life is complete.

i wish the full song had made the album, but i'm glad they at least put in that orchestral part

i legit just figured out that FTP has a bunch of secret unreleased songs and HOLY SHIT i love them all... when i heard the angelic welcome i GASPED
Tabloid Super Junkie its at my top 3 best FTP songs and it's a bonus track!
Me too!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Mark Foster
took me only 2 years to find the songs... I love them now, even Cassius Clay's Pearly whites
Ugh this is beautiful. This is why foster the people has been my favorite band for more than 4 years and is the only band that is so special to me.
+Karla Lopez Check Portugal. the man,they're beatles and foster combined,especially on the latest album,Evil Friends.
What a boring life for you
Fuck me nigga bitch hell yhea
This was 4 years ago. Must mean they’ve been your fav for 8 years now 😳

LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Well Mr. Jones took a terrible fall
He had built the stairs but he hadn't counted them all
And the lights and the pain said it would rain
He said it would snow
He always said that, wherever he would go
And he would write down his thoughts on the wall
[Pre Chorus 1]
Something about the power of it all
Call if you care for me at all
I've been surrounded by this loneliness
And If I could I would do it all over again
And I would be calm and wait for you
To show me all the things that no one else can do
Now what you need, what you got, what you want from me
I've got the wild inside to conquer and then I'll be free
[Hook 1]
If I was free, if I was free
I would fly in between the moons of consciousness
And ride on the back of a shooting star
And float into your arms
[Verse 2]
And when he woke up, he went outside and changed the light bulb
Figured out that life was worth living when you could see
The doctor said they'd counseled him before and his tired mind of war
Pre Chorus 2]
But he was at war with himself and he lost it all
He was at home now feeling the power of the crumbling wall
[Hook 2]
Oh, if I was free
I'd fly in between the moons of indolence
And I'd ride on the back of a shooting star
And float into your arms
If I was free
I'd let go of all the weight that's dragging me
And never again and never again
I put it all down and never again and never again
[Bridge]
Ahhh
Never again
Ahhh
[Verse 3]
And he met God that day
And God said, "Well, welcome in
I've been waiting for you
Your bed is warm
Your sheets are made"
[Hook 3]
Free, and I was free
I didn't even know that I'd been captured
But I remember the call, I remember the call
I remember when your voice came through the wall
And I was there and I was scared
I didn't even know that you were listening
And all those times I was shaking my head
From all the things I'd said
[Outro]
Ahhh
This better be on the Supermodel 10 year anniversary album if that ever becomes a thingn
here we are, two days after the 10th anniversary, and no supermodel X. :(
@@spacejazz yea I’m mad
:c triste
I hope so, i want this song and tablod super junkie sooo bad :(
unfortunately mark confirmed they’re doing nothing for supermodel X but we have a tour and album coming :)
the start sounds like remix of nevermind
Martol Holland EXACTLY!
jaja alch
Patas
I heard the Angelic Welcome and I started crying sweet jesus
mi canción mas personal, literal yo soy el sr. jones
I want this on Spotify 😭
Same
I’ve been checking periodically for the past few years to see if it’s uploaded on Spotify. I will not give up (,:
@@karlymorris2548never give up!!! Just wait for supermodel x !!!

I agree, their songs don´t deny that there will always be some bad times but it also gives you hope. I hope you are doing alright, buddy.
I CAN'T stop listening to this IT'S AMAZING!!!!!
Where the fuck was I when this song was released!
I'm fucking crying because of the melody!!!!
I wrote a short story about how Mr. Jones' life would have been for a class project. Got an A ;D
pls share
please share omg
please please share?
share please!
You should share it 😊
I discovered this in late 2018 and I've listened to it on average about 5 times per day since. Absolutely the best song I've ever heard.
esta cancion deberia estar en spotify
I would love if they didn't fall off the face of the Earth for 8 months out of every year they make such great music!
right, he has us all patiently waiting
For me this is exactly why they are so good. They don't make a song after song with bad quality. They master them to every little sound. And we appreciate their art because we get a new album very rarely :)
Poppy HD well the wait is over my friend
That's actually a good thing. Bands that tour and produce constantly burn out and start to suck. Everyone needs a break. It's why this band is still good.
theyre from space and return every few seasons to bring us peace
this song has never failed to make me cry
This has been my favorite song and I kept it a secret because it’s just so special. I shared it with an ex and now it’s all I think about. That rainy afternoon, in a muddy park. Looking into great clouds passing by. Looking at his face, wondering if it was watery eyes or the rain. I think it was both.
WHY AM I CRYING MAN!
I cried too 😐 the lyrics make me think of my dead cousin 😭
+Fixiefre123ak sorry for your loss bro I lost my grandma I know how you feel 😔
+Gabriel Cruz made me think of my uncle he had diabetes and was about to die soon.
and the lyrics
"but he was at war with himself and he lost it all,he was at home now feeling the power of the crumbling wall"
these lyrics made me think about him so much. idk why maybe because he was at war with himself...💔
I did a little too lol
haha I wonder the same thing :'( I don't wanna cry but I just can't stop listening to this song over and over again
hold on until supermodel x, y’all
i would prefer a new album, but if the re-release of supermodel includes this i wouldn't be mad
That’s what I’m hoping for
I can’t say that another song makes me feel the emotions that this one does. So absolutely beautiful.
Максимально недооцененная песня этой группы. Жаль, что нет в спотифай..
Still coming here. Best song from Foster the people.
How can someone deslike this? So beatiful song!
One of my faves.
So long waiting for this song 💖

IT'S EVERYDAY 🅱️RO.
for real no bueno
To me this sounds like Radiohead mixed with the Cure. I love it. Especially Mark's vocals and how he sings the lyrics.
dude, the cure is shit
i agree
FEmblem116
Radiohead The Cure and Foster The People are my 3 favorite bands. And no, The Cure isn't shit, they're fucking great
I came here after finishing listening some Radiohead and felt this song js so Radiohead-esque
it sucks how Radiohead is more popular than them, even with so many similarities in their songs
pure gold
3:16 en esta parte me da una sensación en mi pecho, amo tanto las canciones de Foster The people, cada una me transmite un sentimiento, me inspira, me relaja✨
Y como su mismo nombre que tiene la banda lo dice "animar a la gente", lo hace en cada canción:3

Assuming it comes out this year, there'll be a kind of symmetry to it. 2 years for the 2nd album, 3 years for the 3rd. I guess it makes sense.
5.1k upvotes only? This is not right.
a masterpiece
FOSTER THE PEOPLE FOR LIFE. they just put my mind somewhere else, its sooooo fucking good i cant describe it AAAHHH
this song is so sad. made me cry 😢
Oh Deadpool..... Oh the tears.... :(
+SmytheSmythe you cried also ?
Fixiefre123ak Of course, it's so cold and nostalgic...
came back again still a sad song. good to listen to it again it's pretty dope
It's so fucking sad my man

man.... that statement makes no sense considering i'm 17 and a high school senior. but nice try, i guess??
ally paige you look like an sjw I'm insulating you, learn some fiscal responsibility
What the hell? Why am I just now finding this after listening to this album for the last 4 years? Why wasn't this on the album??
Michael Scarboro i think that The Angelic Welcome of Mr.Jones was a first or short version of this, and this song isn't on the album but only on yt
Michael Scarboro Mark said that neither this, Tabloid Super Junkie, nor Cassius Clays Pearly Whites fit anywhere on the album
Michael Scarboro This song wasn't finished for Supermodel, and was released later.
Grilly Cheese I disagree, when I listen to this album I imagine this being the last song on the album, and it’s glorious!
@@justnoahherehellonah I think Fire Escape is a better final track
this song reminds me of my grandpa. i miss him soooooooo much
Why this song isnt in the Foster The People official channel ?
Because of magic
Because they only released it via a bittorrent bundle, it's not on iTunes or anything like that.
Wtf dude the best song is vizonte king pa hip hop bon
You are mine 😍😻
What a tune
Esta canción me recuerda cuando era un adicto a heroina no podía dejar de consumir lloraba escuchando esta canción mirando como mi vida se estaba destrullendo como todo se lo estaba llevando la droga pero al momento de escucharla me sientia mejor y la anciedad pasaba

uh
I see you
x2
already 2017, but still love this song. made me want to cry when i listened to this every night.
I wish this was on Supermodel instead of the 36 second track of just the harmonys
Same bruh
WOOOO a new song, god I'm excited for more :))
this gives me chills every time. without fail.
this is a masterpiece
thanks for uploading 😍
Been waiting for them to finish this
So I'd Angelic welcome of mr Jones led to a full song, does that mean Orange Dream will be a full song also?
Alaska ball 🤔
We can only hope. Orange Dream has the potential to be one of the best tracks on SHC if they make into a full length song
I personally would prefer Time to Get Closer to get a full song. The synth start of Orange Dream always shocks me whenever I put their songs on shuffle, so I removed it.
I mean, in a perfect world we go both :P I just feel Time to Get Closer is more "complete" in its current state, while Orange Dream leaves you wanting more. You can even hear the riff start over in Orange Dream, as it fades out
The Unforeseeable Fate of Mr. Jones led to The angelic welcome of mr Jones
This song is magical and means so much to me. Favorite Foster The People song
your a genius of words thanks mr Mark Foster
I feel like this song is more happy and uplifting than being a sad one.
listened to this song for the first time today, for some reason i never found out about it. needless to say, instantly fell in love. wow. you’ve done it again to me mark foster.
This song is so fucking awesome tbh :'(
Thanks for uploading!
+Katie Walsh No prob. Whenever Foster The People puts anything out, this channel is on it to upload! :)
good
this is honestly amazing
I needed this in my life
cant wait for them to get the recognition they deserve

incredibly underrated gem from the album
It's almost been 3 years since this came out, yet it feels like yesterday. I can vividly remember what I was doing when I listened to this for the first time.
Still can
Is it me or do the first 3 seconds sound a bit like Nevermind???
omg yes
WOW IT TOTALLY DOES, I kept listening to it side by side and I wondered if it was done on purpose or not.
i'm sure that was on purpose ahaha
i think is kinda on purpose bc how they both talk about illness but in such different point of views, I also think thats one of the reasons this song wasn't included in the album
so glad I found this
This song is very cool and hopefully foster the people follow your music because everything is possible in this life and not give up love you guys
Mesmerically brilliant!
I'm STILLLLLLLLL waiting for the next albummmmmmm.
Hidden Junkie This year m8
I love it
Love the Radiohead vibes.. how this didn't make the album is beyond me..
I came here after listening some Radiohead, and as a big fan of both bands, love it so much. Feels Ike I'm Rainbows.
so happy I got tickets for them in July *-*
amazing song
I’m crying
I NEED THE NEXT ALBUM RIGHT NOW.
I love this song;D so relax
This can keep me going until the third album. Thanks FTP!
One year❤

best ftp song ever?
My favorite song :)
“Why the fuck you crying so damn loud”
Oh my god the angelic welcome of Mr. Jones... why am I tearing up ;-;
thank you
Album three hype
Just wow
Essa música me teletransporta pra um lugar tão leve
Cool!
This song is so cool and pretty. Reminds me of The Whitest Boy Alive and Metronomy.
NICE
