Foster The People - Coming of Age (Official Video) 

When I was 16 I was obsessed with Foster The People and I had the album Supermodel. I would put it everytime in the car with my godfather (who raised me with my mom, he was like a dad to me). He always asked me “put the third song, I like that one, is my favorite”. Coming of Age was the song. He passed away 6 days ago and listening to this song takes me back to these beautiful moments ❤️

THIS is the type of music that should be on the radio. It has meaning, it's genuine, it's groovy. It appeals to so many people and it's the type of nostalgic music that you'll listen to years from now and remember all the good times you had while listening to it. Love this band more than words can say.

this isn’t a song, it’s an experience. i’ll always come back to it on days i’m feeling down or unmotivated, it always does the trick to get me back in gear

I’m 38 now. Every year of your life you change and shed your old self like the skin of an onion. The person you were on those summers so long ago is long discarded. But then I listen to this song, look up and say, “There you are.”

This song reminds me of a love I never had, a poem I never heard and a place I never was.

Mark Foster, please never stop making music

Love how this song takes me thru all the seasons in my life that caused me to grow. Like a coming of age each time. This one will always resonate deeply.

My 6 year old daughter had my phone and put this song on as I'd listened to it on youtube. I now have to play it every night before going to bed cos she loves it so much! She said to me "I don't know why I love it so much, I just do!" Great taste in music my 6 year old!

This song is seriously one of my favorite pieces of music to come out this decade, the style of it feels like it could fit right in the 80's yet feels modern enough for the radio. I really hope more music like this starts making a comeback in today's music scene.

Video and song are highly underrated

These kids are way out of my generation; being 61 years old, but I heard this song playing on one of the radio stations in a CVS drug store, looked it up, and yeah, this is a kicking great, well written and arranged song by a generation that i don't normally have any interest in. Almost a Beach Boys feel at times!....weeeeuuuuuuuu!

Love how this band has many different sounds to them. Definitely a multifaceted band.

my friend says he hates this song because it's too mainstream hell yeah it's mainstream do you know why? because its a fucking good song

This music gives off a very old vibe, even though it's fairly recent.

pure nostalgia, I remember how happy I was when supermodel first came out. literally, this album was my jam 24/7 when I was 11

I listened to this before my high school graduation, I loved this song so much. Now, three years later, I am listening to it just before turning in my final paper. Going to graduate college on Saturday with my Bachelor's in Psychology, hopefully with Honors :) I still love this song just as much, if not more, than I did three years ago.

Yes! The feels. "Feels like it's coming of age"

Whwn i hear Foster the people's music is like a escape from reality, thats how i feel :)

this song is so nostalgic. i feel like my 14 year old self again. im 20 now :(

Mi canción favorita en la vida. Por lo que es, por lo que representa y por hacer vibrar mi corazón. JAMÁS olvidaré el día en que la escuché en vivo por primera vez, lo mejor en este mundo.

My favorite song from theirs. Foster the People is one of the few bands of the last decade that I actually like and appreciate.

The second verse hits me like a friggin train, especially "I'm bored of the game and too tired to rage." Killer lyrics!

"when my fears pull me out to sea, and the stars are hidden by my pride." - wow, just wow

[Verse 1] Well, I see you standing there like a rabid dog And you got those crying eyes Makes me wanna surrender and wrap you in my arms You know I try to live without regrets I'm always moving forward and not looking back But I tend to leave a trail of dead while I'm moving ahead [Pre-Chorus 1] And so I'm steppin' away 'Cause I got nothin' to say [Chorus 1] Feels like, feels like it's comin' It feels like, feels like a coming of age (It's like a coming of age) Feels like, feels like it's comin' Feels like, feels like a coming of age [Verse 2] And when my fear pulls me out to sea And the stars are hidden by my pride and my enemies I seem to hurt the people that care the most Just like an animal, I protect my pride When I'm too bruised to fight And even when I'm wrong, I tend to think I'm right [Pre-Chorus 2] Well, I'm bored of the game And too tired to rage [Chorus 2] Feels like, feels like it's comin' It feels like, feels like a coming of age (It's like a coming of age) It feels like, feels like it's comin' It feels like, feels like a coming of age (And I'm burning the page) [Chorus 1] Feels like, feels like it's comin' It feels like, feels like a coming of age (It's like a coming of age) It feels like, feels like it's comin' It feels like, feels like a coming of age [Instrumental] [Chorus 3] It feels like, feels like a coming of age (Yeah, it's like a coming of age) Feels like, feels like it's comin' It feels like, feels like a coming of age (Like a coming of age) Feels like, feels like it's comin' It feels like, feels like a coming of age (It's like a coming of age) Feels like, feels like it's comin' It feels like, feels like a coming of age...

I saw these dudes on the street performing outside of universal city about a year or two before pumped up kicks came out on the radio. Even back then I knew they were going to catch on. It was a trip that a band that good would be playing on the street.

I'm absolutely smitten with this song, my God!

This band is really good. I grew up with the Beatles, Allman Brothers, The Clash, Little Feat, U2 and this band touched me. Rock on!

Should've been bigger than pumped up kicks .....

does everyone get like a shiver when the guitar sounds before the chorus like ascending or something Damn it I hear this song 24/7

Does anyone else get a weird fuzzy feeling after the end of a book with a really good ending? It makes me feel like the book really impacted my life, and that I will miss it. This song made me feel that too, and its the first one to do so. Cheers.

feels like going back in time... going to college, having fun with your friends, have no worries, good old times...

La canción indicada para esos viajes en carretera a todo volumen con el viento en la cara mirando el atardecer.

From the song production to the video, captures the 80's MTV.

How did this album receive poor to mediocre reviews? I think it's quite fantastic. However, when you read the reviews like the one from rolling stone, you realize how idiotic the reviewer is when he compares every song on this album to pumped up kicks. Moron. Remember when reviewers weren't lazy pieces of shit? Those were the days. Great album!

This band makes me feel like ive never felt before. Something so infinite and magnificent about them... New level of amazigness

Why weren't they more popular?? OMG this is so good and it showcases their Amazing talent...this song is heads and tails above the competition...simply GENIUS!!

This is probably my favorite song right now. Whoever thought music was on a downward spiral obviously havent heard this song.

Its true. All the lyrics are what everyone goes through. You hurt the ones closest to you,the ones that care for you the most. Until you realize what you've done and feel bad for the rest of your life about it.

I always thought the intended feel of this song was something like tragic optimism. It's recognizing that, unlike the things you're told as a kid, unlike what you see in the movies, adulthood arrives amidst grief over the loss of your innocence and how you thought the world was vs how it actually is. But once you arrive there, there's hope because you now have enough experience to know that you can take what they throw at you, and you can keep trucking along in the hard times.

I guess I'm not the only one in the little bit older crowd loving this tune. I"m 52. Love this tune. So clean.

Love the old feel to this.

I MISSED YOU GUYS *rolls around in tears of joy*

I was literally 14 when this came out school days but now i am 23 college life over.

What happens at 2:59 strikes me emotionally.. like we all need some company when one’s heart is crying

FOSTER THE PEOPLE IS THE BEST BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They did it again, amazing tune, can't wait for the album

This band just special for me.... always coming back for them ❤

I feel bad for the people that got stucked in 2011 and only know them for Pumped Up Kicks. They have such good music.

why only 968 698 views ?? what's wrong with the world this song deserve more and more !!! omg

This is such a perfect song. When I first heard it on the radio, I almost made my mom crash on how happy I was hearing them. GONNA SEE THEM IN MAY! 2014 is great.

This was the first band I ever got into. When I was in middle school I was obsessed with Torches and then again with Supermodel. You guys never fail to impress.

Damn. 2014. So insignificant to most of you. For me, 2014 was when I was in fourth grade. This song was in the much music Alternative playlist every morning. I’m in 9th grade now and I’d do anything to go back to the time that this song was an anthem of.

The very first seconds of the song are enough to take me to a different universe.

Mark Foster: “We wanted to kind of capture the staple American past times, like classic Steve McQueen. The staple moments in the 70s and 80s that we thought kind of captured what America was in cinema. Those moments made us feel nostalgic about life.” I wasn't sure about this video the first time I saw it but has REALLY grown on me.

Eu amoooo essa música ♥️♥️ Salve pra todos os BR aqui 🇧🇷🇧🇷

Who listen in 2024 in the 2nd quarter

Proud Of You Guys! I'm A Foster Kid You're A Foster Kid #WeAreAFosterFamily

Probably one of my favorite songs of all time.

His voice at the end gives me chills.

Wow, this song totally holds up five years later... I'm a bit blown away by how good both the song and the video are! Why don't more people know and love this??

This song is tremendously good damn, you just connect with it and brings feelings

I remember listening to this 2 years ago, it gave me hope that there is still great music and bands like Foster The People for today's generation and music industry

I remember when MTV used to play this song, was so in love with it, nostalgic.....miss this type of music

2014 = nostalgia cuantos latinos escuchando este temazo?

Mark is CRAZY talented.

I don't understand how Pumped Up Kicks is the only song that made it to Top 40 (to my understanding). Every single song these guys put out is a major hit!

Los escuchaba en la época de colegio en el 2015 🔥 y aún tengo la misma sensación que el primer día que los escuche.... Un placer haber crecido con estas joyas de fondo 🔥🛸 Foster the People ❤

who listen in 2024?

Literally torches and supermodel are the only albums where I'm in love with every single song. When I listen to the it's like I get a break from reality. When people ask who my fav band is I always say FTP and they say they hate them. But really, the only song they know is pumped up kicks. This annoys me so much. Every song of theirs is so different from the others! I can't see how anybody could hate them honestly. Like, stop listening to that nicki minaj justin bieber crap. This is real music right here

cant stop replaying... arrggg... addicted...

This song is dedicated to you stranger. The loves you had, the ones you lost and the times you didn't think you could make it but you did.

"Just like an animal, I protect my pride When I'm too bruised to fight And even when I'm wrong, I tend to think I'm right" I feel this to the core, wishing my aldolescence has got something wonderful to reminisce about, but I'm here left in self-doubt, regrets, and agony.

I love the classic, old feel they created for this video. It really fits quite well with the song.

back to the 80´s music..!! great style guys

If you're still listening to this after 6 years dude ur a legend

Thank you Mark Pontius for everything you've done and best of luck to your future endeavors. Hopefully we'll see you with FTP again in the future.

This video gives me such great nostalgia for my childhood.

#4 on Billboard's alternative singles chart this week. Impressive!

I love this song, it's perfect, but it's simple not the same without this video, what a masterpiece, each detail, just perfect, it goes into the deepest of my feelings

I don't know why Pumped Up Kicks has more attention than this to be honest.. This is a fantastic song!

This is the most underrated song of all time.

Masterpiece

2020 & still listen to this, hope everyone who was here before is alive & well

Geez. I feel like a depressed high schooler again.

this song is so underrated..

The day this music video came out, is the day Mark transferred from Torches Mark to Supermodel Mark.

41 years old and discovered this band about 5 years ago. They’re incredible. Get me into my feelings.

This and "Sit Next to Me" are a vibe.

I came here after first listening three years ago, now that i'm about to be eighteen, definitely feel nostalgia of those days when i had no worries and was just enjoying life to the fullest, this song actually makes me feel like my time came, like i'm scared of my future, i'm scared of growing up and become an adult and most terrifying i'm scared to failure. With everyone asking what am i gonna do with my life and my friends and family telling me i'm not gonna make it in the career i want to persue is for sure not encouraging and my mechanism of defense is end up raging it up all inside so i don't hurt them like they do me.

It's song like this (and not just pumped up kicks) that make me love this band.

Why are these guys not the biggest thing right now? Im old and cant believe the talent of this band. Wow.

The fact that FTP are still popular and their music still celebrated long after their “one hit wonder” pumped up kicks just tell you have talented they actually are. Definitely one of the better bands out right now

it's magical :) I can't stop listening this. Sitting outside, feeling wind , thinking, dreaming everything ! (:

I think I spend the whole year listening to this song. Because this is how you define true "contemporary music".

My dad would play this album when I was around 7. I turn 17 next month. Feels like a coming of age.

Dá ate tristeza de ver que tanta gente só conheça pumped, e não conheçam também outras mil maravilhas dessa banda

Gotten about 300k+ views the last two weeks. Song is picking up some steam. It deserves it.

Today this song takes a new meaning for me... after live all those things that broken my heart and soul... today I can say that I feel like i'm coming of age...

Reminds me of those teenage years. Biggest crush ever, heartbreak, redemption, love

Thing is, this is a musical and visual masterpiece. It is a modern classic.
