Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Rise above, gonna start the war
Oh, what you want? What you need? What'd you come here for?
Well, an eye for an eye and an 'F' for fight
They're taking me down as the prisoners riot
Eh, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Got shackles on, my words are tied
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Fear can make you compromise
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
With the lights turned up, it's hard to hide
Sometimes I want to disappear
[Instrumental Chorus]
Eh, oh, eh
[Verse 2]
When I feel kinda bad and don't want to stress
I just pass it off on ability
Well, you got what you want and what you never knew
Perfect gift from me to you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Got shackles on, my words are tied
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Fear can make you compromise
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
With the lights turned up, it's hard to hide
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Sometimes I want to disappear
[Instrumental Chorus]
[Bridge]
(Raise up to your ability)
You never knew what I could find
What could come when we realize
I don't want to compromise
(Raise up to your ability)
Yeah, I'm scared but I'll disappear
Running around before it corners you
Like he's someone who lost his way
(Raise up to your ability)
I know that you want me
'Cause it's simple to see of my ability
(Raise up to your ability)
Yeah, you're undecided
Hey, it's the right feeling
Yeah, I don't wanna run away
[Outro]
You gotta focus on your ability
Focus on your ability
Gotta focus on your ability
Focus on your ability
Then they can't get what they want to steal
Can't get what they want to steal
Then they can't get what they want to steal
Can't get what they want to steal
#FosterThePeople #Houdini #Torches - Hudba
Is it Just me or is it a amazing feeling coming back to a song you haven’t heard in years and it just brings you back?..
word!
Houdini is still my favorite song by Foster the People after all these years
Yup lol
I was thinking EXACTLY THE SAME THING
Torches came out when I was 8 and man this is nostalgic
It's been 8 years and this song is still fairly underrated in my opinion.
I feel like they were ahead of their time tbh
I just can’t get enough of it. And the video makes it 100 times better 👌🏼
Idk 82 million views ain't exactly underrated
@@Kanzuki im 80 million of the views though
@@feiven865 tbh if this was released now it would have a broader appeal
The beat is incredible in this
The ORIGINAL Houdini
The ORIGINAL Houdini was a magician that died in 1926. Glad I could help!
@@VitorAmigoDaVizinhanca I assume this person was refering to the other song called "Houdini" by Dua Lipa, which is NOTHING alike. I'm interested in finding pairs of songs with identical titles, it's fun.
Well this one is infinite times better than dua lipas but I'm sure lipa's has more views
@@idkwt2use very unfortunately. people do not appreciate real music
@@raakone now there is the Eminem Houdini, its very good but not as this one
My little sister has Autism and she communicates through music a lot of the time. She’s always playing and listening to music. Recently, she’s discovered this song and plays it constantly. Typically, she’d only listen to select parts of songs, but with this one, she’ll play the whole thing through and will make up a new dance to it every time she plays it. I’m not sure what makes this song different for her, but I don’t mind listening to it constantly at all. Thanks Foster the People for helping my family have such magical experiences with your song! 💃😊
This brought a smile to my heart. Bless you and that precious wonder child. She has great taste. I’m a black guy in LA and this song soars the spirit for me too. Rock on
very wholesome.
This sounds overwhelmingly wholesome.
I loved it. Additionally, I would love to know your story more.
Your little sister is a rockstar.
@@HasufelyArod what would you like to know? Im not comfortable sharing everything of course, but I can try to answer any questions
2012 : very awesome
2019 : made me cry
Same here
Why?
@@Uruguay182 nostalgia lol
Aaliyah Diandra Ohh I see! It’s not thaaat old 😋
Same
This is how the music industry works.
yeah I'm kinda glad i can't sing XD
+I Don't Mind Alternative theory: this is the band crediting their crew with their fair share of the achievement
that's true
theyre referring to nwo, look at bnw servant colors. research project monarch. not even the tip. research melodysheep garden of your mind, research mandella effect.
+I Don't Mind This is probably what they are saying.
Can't believe that the guys behind *Everything Everywhere All At Once* directed this!!!! I'm only today years old when I found out about it. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE IT!
Oh wow, I didn't know that.
i still haven’t seen that movie but i love this video so you’ve convinced me to watch it now lol
Check out Swiss Army Man if you haven't! Same directors!
@@tsiah-tshaili688 I literally watched it after I posted this comment weeks ago! =D They're so *creatively genius* !!!!
@@leeshapon Hahahaha! Enjoy the film! =D
Who is still watching in 2024?
This video was my childhood trauma but the music is very good
Me
Me
Me
Me too,
one of the most creative videos i've ever seen
Azaqaaaazq
yeaah
I agree.
Francisco Mazzini q bueno
daniels op
when you're dead inside but the people around you don't care and keep using you for their own needs
Florist That's sad to hear man
naaah i'm fine, i'm just telling what i think about the song haha, but still someday.. there's that kind of day, but.. that's life?
is this the real life?
Waw, edgy m8
relatable
This "Houdini" >> whatever "Houdini" Eminem dropped today
dont disrespect em like that
Incredible that the directors of this video are now nominated for 11 Oscars. Honestly they deserved it from a long time ago, lol
they’re only nominated for 3 of those 11, but it’s still pretty cool 🤣🤣
They won best director(s)
@@BROJANGSTER they also won all three 🎉too
Their film Swiss Army Man also had clear continuation of the inspirations seen in the music video for Houdini.
@@sam510938764 swiss army man is one of my favorite movies of all time, great film with deep meanings
this video is so powerful, it shows how the music industry turns musicians into puppets
Finally someone with common sense, thanks God.
+alist15 I think it's also about how they'll stop at nothing to get what they need to make money even if it means tricking their audiences or dehumanizing their partners.
+alist15 lyrics says it all, "focus on your ability"
Pretty sure we already knew that...
I agree. I think it's about how the people are seen more as their names rather than individuals with talent. In the video, they kept on using the people even though they were dead so that people would come and afterwards they were celebrating the success even though they were dead.
This isn't trashy. This is proper music!
Yes!!! Finally someone knows what music is!!!!
Arta wolf Thanks!
your right
+Arta wolf There are many forms of music. It bothers me when people talk about what is and isn't music because there are different types and people enjoy different things.
+Stubnoob opinions are what make us humans, but sometimes that's not a good thing
The beat after "sometimes i wanna disappear" scratches something in my brain just the right way
The best song from Foster the people, buen ritmo 🕺
Es una de mis top top del top 😜
Best. Music. Video. Ever.
+P1tri0t not. really.
de rek opinions
yup
+de rek nice to meat you Derek I'm derek
eyy
I don't know who's still here , who even knows this song , BUT I SWEAR TO GOD I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR 8 YEARS
I wonder how did you listen this song before?
@@strangeTomas555 on mtv
@@strangeTomas555 😆
How did you find it
Damn bro I feel bad for you but glad you found it
I returned to this video twelve years later to say that The Daniels won the Oscar for best director, very well deserved. 💖🎊
The directors of Everything Everywhere All at Once also directed this
i'm in love with this band
salty coffee when did Mark Foster learn too play the piano...I wish I learned
im just in love with their concerts,they rock when they re live,but i hate their clips
0:39 "dicking me down is a prisoner's right"
DAMN YOU
Nater Gator Hilarious.
Angel Ortiz is
Nater Gator I was thinking the same thing
Nater Gator "taking me down its a prisoners riot"
10 years have passed and my 19 y/o old me is still rocking this inside me. Missing those good old years. ❤️❤️
I feel you haha, I only listened to Pumped Up Kicks back in the day but in 2020 I discovered the full album. I'm 20 now and even though I never listened to the full album back then, it still brings me back to those sweet 2010s time
Welcome to thirties friend.
Shocks same age!!!
10 years later and this music video is officially the most 2011 music video ive ever seen 😂 this whole album is still amazing a decade later too
Fr
Yep, the obvious CG and the slow motion parts really feel like something from that era. But it's very charming, though!
"Ooh, baby, shock me like an electric eel..."
Oh wait, wrong song.
omg
DonutUnderpants LOL! don't worry that's the next video
DonutUnderpants there must be a mashup of these two songs.
Vini M. Hm, true. Probs.
Salvatore Anzalone I disabled playlists, but I wouldn't doubt it.
This is so nostalgic, i can't believe 7 years passed so fast
Ghani Djebbar yeees 😢😢
Right? I was in my mid 20s now I'm almost halfway to 40. Lol. It sucks.
ikr
Ghani Djebbar
I feel like people misuse “nostalgic” a lot.
Ghani Djebbar Eight now. I’m in awe also.
Easily my favorite foster the people song
2024 anyone
Here 💃🏻🙌
hi, hi from Mexico
Si, yes , we from de vh1 neo ❤
Timeless 2024
Music connects pple
how come this only has 23 million views when there's 7 billion people who could hear this great song!
Haha I like the way you think ^.^, if only everyone was able :)
***** No there isn't.
He must be.
But the world ends in 2012..
Jake Cartman I guess the world ended.
It's symbolic of the amount of control producers have over artists. But that there is still room for art to be made (incredible art) by breaking out of the chains
yes
A message to the future generations:
Don't let this song die.
damn bro whats wrong with you
I have it all volumen right now
I think their(future generations) response to your comment was mumble rap. :(
This message is litarally under every song that has ver 50 000 000 views
Don t worry, it was never alive in the first place so it won t die
3:07 that’s gonna be the proudest asian dad i’ve ever seen
"Sometimes I wanna disappear."
That hits different when you're in a dark place.
i love songs that are dark...
...but really high energy.
they are good for the good times, and good for the bad times
"hey ya" is another one. i didn't even notice until i found a somber cover of the song that matched the words.
@@andy4an I like dark songs as well but I don't mind slower ones. Just came across Hurt by Nine Inch Nails. Love it
@@klaus1015 yeah that's a killer one.
when sung by a young dude, the lyrics seem angsty...
when sung by old johnny cash, it's absolutely tragic
i like some dark songs
@@andy4an both versions are dope but I always prefer the original. It's darker for me. Less sad just darker
I stil think this is their best video. Clever, dark, funny and with a deeper meaning saying they'd die before they become a mainstream boy band. Love it.
And their worst song became mainstream, how ironic.
Zkull It's a matter of opinion. "Kicks" is a great song.
Oh? I thought the music video was talking about how the music industry doesn't care about the artists as human beings but only about how much money they can earn.
hinde64
That's how I interpreted it.
***** I agree - "Best Friend" is the best video from Supermodel but I think "Houdini" is the best video from "Torches". I do absolutely love the "Best Friend" video - I think it's brilliant.
Directed by two now Oscar winners, and you can tell!!!
Lagu houdini diciptakan tahun 2011
Lagu diatas normal diciptakan tahun 2004
Lagu Diatas Normal arransemen baru spertinya memang sengaja ingin bernuansa seperti ini, terutama pas bagian suara keyboard/piano david 👍🏻
2012: cool song
2019:they're using dead bodies for money...
Technically robots
We not gonna talk about how the Asian guy nodded through the phone
DOING IT FOR THE MONEY :V
It's funny cause they get dressed like Bieber, Timberlake, and all the popular boy bands when they're fully controlled by the money maker industry.
Me: "That's why they have the asains!"
I think this is my favorite FTP song
Ricky G Me too
Witch Hunt yee
Ricky G I always thought FTP meant fuck that puto because of George Lopez
Ricky G THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG
Ricky G I can agree with that even with the new album release. dat music is gold.
I'm writing "Houdini" and 1-2 pages YT showing me "dua lipa - houdini " .......
IT'S REALLY SAD LIKE THIS MASTERPIECES REMEMBERED THINGS.... (childhood)
it annoys me, why not use new title song, like wtf
The symbolism, subliminal messages and dark meaning in the video and song are just eerie if you can see them. A lot of them go over most peoples heads but it’s kinda scary seeing it so vividly and blatantly in front of you.
The music video is VERY cleverly done.
explain it please? i kinda understand it
Kelly Noir wow i never thought about it like that but yeah i agree i kinda think i understand it more
Team sprint The Video Means That When They Die About Those Things Falling On Their Heads. The Crew Must Continue The Show Because Tomorrow Is The Concert, So They Call Some Japanese Magicians To Fix Them So It Looks Like They Are Playing The Instruments And Stuff After That When They Are Playing In Front Of Everyone The Japanese Magicians Secretly Help Do The Moves BEHIND Them And Then Everything Turns Out To Be Good And Stuff But They Got Help From The Japanese Magicians So They Are Still Dead! I Hope I Helped You :)! (They Are Actually Not Dead If They Were I Would Cry)
Hafsa Affan whY jusT whY
Teddybear99100 Why just why what
I wish I could dance like that...
I wish I could dance like you when you could dance like that
dru. I wish I could dance like you when you can dance like him when he learns how to dance like them.
***** I wish i could dance like you when you can dance like him after he learns to dance like that so he can learn so you can so i can *mic drop*
You just need black invisible people controlling you
*looks at you* nope. I need talent
"Tio Paulo tá ouvindo? O senhor precisa assinar"
Gosh sometimes i forget how good this song is and everytime i listen to it i get my mind blown
The concept of this video is just fucking amazing.
i highly encourage y'all to see them live--they're excellent live performers
They ended the band
+Weenie Butt whyyyyy
+CALIFORNIUM because cubbie got married and wanted to spend his time with his family (cubbie is the one with black hair)
+Weenie Butt damn
they really are. I've seen them twice.
SSX: Deadly Descents 🤙
Wonderful message. Focus on your ability, your inner power, rise to it, fulfill yourself, then they will never be able to get what they want to steal
Heard this song in 5th grade now I’m a senior. Time flew by
Same heard it on MTV back in the day
Damn same
Yep same here man 👌
Yooooo deadass me rn
Luis BROOOOO I fucking feel you.
The nostalgia hit me very hard watching this.
This feels ahead of its time for some reason.
Maybe it was. But I found this song around 2012 lol. Forever one of my favorite songs.
SSX
Its one of a kind MV from one of the best Artists
its really made for all times.
Torches is ahead of its time.
Esperando el 2024 y está canción sigue siendo una de mis favoritas ❤🎉
Hace 10 años!! 😱
Some years ago (probably at 2012) I had listened this song at radio. Was at a high hour of the night and there wasn't announcer or something to tell the name of the song but the choir stucked in my head.
I tried to search in CZcams "Sometimes I wanna disappear" but I didn't got anything. Maybe the song wasn't so popular at that moment or the search engine wasn't like today, I don't know.
Today I remembered it and I tried again. It's amazing when you finally find a song that was in your head for many time and the part you recognize is better than you remember.
Now I got the chance to hear the whole song again, and man, it's great.
Taun that happened to me with Shadow of the day of Linkin Park, i heard the song like in 2007, and then I just listened to it a few times on the radio in years. I tried to look up the lyrics but at that moment my english was so bad so I never found it since 2014 and i took me like 8 years to found it lol
Whatt
That was me with pumped up kicks when it first came out
Taun that feeling tho😭😭😭
This makes me so happy because i can relate 100%
0:28
"Uh sir there's been an accident and mark, mark and Jacob are dead we need to do something about this"
*Nods at phone*
"Okay you want us to turn them into robots and make them dance gotcha"
+Landon McGinnis 0:09
rip
+Darth Vader but in general are they still alive
sweet welcome to camp
Best video summary ever
+Landon McGinnis Wait just realized something
They could have already had a plan, the producer dude mentioned the plan, and businessman guy went 'mm-hmm' or something else that he wouldn't have to open his mouth for
"You gotta focus on your ability, Gotta focus on your ability"
That's the divine motto. ❤
voy a amar este temazo toda mi vida, sin esta canción no hubiera conocido a foster the people 😭❤
1:04 me when I first came across this song
2:27 me every time listening to this song
0:51 me whenever I see people relating Foster The People with the quiet kid school shooting
I relate so much to this comment. I love it.
*Person above and guy below gay*
Im 2:27 since day 1
Oh shish i thought 1:51 bruh how can you be like 2:27 listenin to dis
Me when I read this comment: 3:07
2012:I will always listen to this
2019: I cant believe I remember this
I don't even remember the name of the song
All I remember is "sometimes I wanna disappear"
And yes CZcams knows what I want😂😂😂
Out of the blues this song plays on my head........now am here....feels like a time machine😍😍
THE WINNERS OSCARS DIRECT THIS VIDEO
Their videos are by far the most creative I've ever seen from one band..
Take a look at Pet Shop Boys too
"OK GO" makes amazing videos
Passion Pit also have good videos.
NinYoda
So true. Consistently amazing, too
MGMT's has so pretty crazy, creative videos
i love this song more than i love myself
Maria Grant I know the feeling
Dido
me too 💜
I think someone needs a hug
but this clip better then song, maybe on 10-25%
I remember the sanctuary that was the car of this girl named andy which we smoked weed in... that was where i was first introduced to this song... i can still picture being in the back seat socializing with her and some college friend. it was the first feeling of peace and belonging i had felt in more than a decade. i'm sure i'll feel that way again... still nice to temporarily bring myself back in time, even if its just in my mind.
Thank you so much for doing what you can to try and save my poor soul. and i'm so sorry that i was too caught up in enjoying the healing that i didn't dig deeper into how your soul was doing, I remember you bursting into tears briefly when you were talking about how you broke your arm... i wish i interrogated you on how you felt instead of just trusting you to share what you wanna share...
i'm convinced that you only hung out with me that much because you felt bad for me. thank you so much/sorry i didn't also interrogate you about how you felt about being schizophrenic (again, i trusted you to share what you needed to share, that was a mistake.)
Directed by Oscar-winning director duo The Daniels!
my god, thats the best mv i ever seen
Its really good, but come on
Mark Foster is ultra adorable.
Yees he is 😍😍😍
***** WTF LOOOOL
Zaffy 112 TO BE HONEST THOUGH!
***** I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE
MaddRezz That depends. Do you look like him? Lol
It's funny cuz this is how korean musical industry works.
Back here again in 2023
When it says "sometimes I wanna dissapear" I really felt that shit
why
@@imahecc585 sometimes you just do yknow?
This song should be in FIFA 15
you have right !
That's true! Also "Pumped up Kicks" should be too
helena beat too :)
Wasn't that on fifa one time?
Yes! Of course EAIDS
I can't believe just how long it's takin' me to get back to foster the people, but this music has actually helped carry me thru some pretty bad times.💜🙏🏾🤞🏾
After Everything Everywhere All at Once I watch other Daniels work on music videos and all of them it's awesome! So much fun!
To those who don't understand why people are referencing boy bands to this: they say it because these guys are being controlled by the bosses like every other majorly known boy band group and are portraying themselves as just strings and robot like figures being controlled by the music corporation. Even in death, they end up being used as a way to make money
TRU
Yesss
Calm ur shit ur getting to in to this its just a video
this is the first song and music video i've ever seen from foster the people and i'm absolutely impressed. it's well made, intelligent, i loved the meaning behind it and the song is so catching and wonderful.
finally~~~
we have no proof that they aren't actually robots right now
True
Hmmmm
They are buddies of daft punk
We don't even know if u are real or an egg typing in a youtube video
Bro that’s exactly what I was thinkin this videos sus it seems like there’s a hidden message
These guys just won an Oscar Long live Daniels
Im addicted to this now .. hahaha after pumped up kicks and Imagination now this
I just thoroughly enjoy this.
That is such a perfect comment for some reason.
+Dinosaurz Thanks!
+Flames McGee It's relateable.
Sometimes i wonder why they arent more popular
20 million views? Pretty underground.
125milly hits of one of their other vids..
I know, right.? They are an amazing band and an amazing group of guys who put everything they can into their music. I absolutely love them & think they should have some more reginizion.
yeah...becaouse 17 milliion views is not enough
***** Then show me what good you are!
FTP is an amazing band simple as that
True creativity
Такое чувство, что я знала эти песни ещё до своего рождения😶😶🌫️
this song is like a twin sister of eletric feel from MGMT in my opinion
check out the electric feel remix...
I've always thought the same! omg
ya decia yo , esto suena parece a un tema de mgmt(? .. ummmh que raro xd
0:35 I used to think they said "iPhone 9 and iPhone 5" xD
me too LOL!
haha. :D
i thought so too until i read this comment
Hahahaha know i cant unhear it
Once you get to know fosters lyrics you can better understand the words he uses. There are many of times through out torches that people constantly question his lyrics, and a lot of the time his lyrics vary from the recording and live
Love the music but they also have the dopest music videos I’ve ever seen.
Here after the Oscar win!! Making awesome videos and films since 2011, they deserved this
Foster the people is like a boy band but without boy band lyrics 😂
IODebate so a band?
but these guys can actually write music and play instruments.....
They all handsome😍
Please... just never comment again.
@@econoline_crush7646 hahaha lmao
Adolescencia vuelve a mi.
Jjajajaja
Here to congratulate the Daniels for winning the Oscars! 💥
Ridiculously talented. That voice!!!
The chick at 2:51 kills me with how in to that move she is.
Siyabonga Africa jaaajajaa Buena esa
Reminds me of mgmt's electric feel
gustavo gomez dude MGMT they are thest
gustavo gomez I mean they are both completely different ,but have the same kinda vibe. Two of my favorite bands.
Ahh, I found my family...Probably because MGMT and FTP have the same Psychedelic Rock feel. Especially in this album.
We need another SSX game :[
yoooooooooo SSX WAS LIT. we on the same shit hahahaha
I often repeat a song a lot when I'm doing something special (like a trip) or being with someone special. I read this in a psychology book some years ago, and the first time I tried was with this song. Even if it has nothing to do, this song strongly reminds me Texas, because I repeated it and repeated it a lot when I first travelled there. Without a doubt, this song reminds me one of my happier seasons ever, and that's why I love it.
This song has played a major part in my life for several years, especially as an anxious individual. This is my happy song and my sad song🥲✨😌
True tht...
Foster the people got me thru middle school
Yess same
They put this song in sackboy ps5 it’s one of my fav levels for this song
I know that feeling 😢
I miss waking up in the morning for high school going to MTV music videos channel and this song would play all the time.
MrHumble Beast same. Its sad how things have changed
Abby Xoxo yeah fr right
Humble Beast Sameeee
Like S O ME T I M E S Y O U W A N N A DISAPER
Just a question but how old are you
this is cinema
Yeah 🎉
I just discovered this song not even 24 hours ago from a spotify playlist. From hearing the first second of this song, I became hooked. I think I’ve already played this song at least 50 times. Not only do I love the song but I also enjoy the music video because I believe it really has a creative aspect to it that correlates with the lyrics to the song.
We are all stuck on 2012 LOL
RETRO Alt 2012 good year
Alt Nation 2012
literally. i still, to this day, think that 2013 is a new year
RETRO 2012 was lit same for 2013
2012 WAS GREAT YEAR FOR MUSIC!
Love the vibe I get from this jam like Electric Feel from MGMT.
I thought the same thing.
Same!
My brother was in the Army and was killed in Afghanistan and actually wanted this song at his funeral after Taps. It was what he wanted 😢😢
