Future Islands - Balance (Official Music Video) 

I discovered this song the year my wife died... It's become the song I go to when the grief weighs heavy. Sublime blend of words and music.

I started running last summer, hadn’t ran for fun in twenty years, and it’s been a feeling of peace and freedom for me after overcoming alcohol addiction. Anyhow, I had just found out about these guys and put this on my running playlist and I thought their fans might be surprised that this is a great tune to zone out to while running along with some of their other songs. Glad I found them even if I was late to the party, they are inspiring

Anxiety and depression fighters It just takes time ♥️

Honestly, this is pure poetry in motion. If you, or anyone you know who is going through some difficulties, put this on. Help you or not you realise you aren't alone. Future Island you legends!

I love heavy bass. I love synth. I love this guy's voice. Most perfect combination of all time. ♥

This song makes me feel happy on this inside and sad on the outside.

Who's vibing to this in 2020?

During 2020 I was on deployment with the Navy, COVID hit whilst we were away, extending our time away from our families, civilisation and normal life. Music like this got me through those times of uncertainty, not knowing when I would get the chance to get home. Thank-You Future Islands for creating such great heart-warming music.

What a bass player. WOW.

I heard this song like 10 years ago. Never forgot about it except the name and band. Never found it and looked so hard. Spotify just played it for me the other day at last 🥰

Balance is my favorite word...and it haunts me lately so i'm making this song my life theme song...the universe speaks to me through it:)

I can't be the only who to replay this three times. It always gets me 🖤

This song got me through the roughest and best times of my life. Such a great track man 😍😫

this song DEFINITELY HELPS to get you in a better POSITIVE mood

I can't stop listening to this. So beautiful.

This is intelligent music that is thought provoking and emotional. Not like the crap mainstream stuff. This music has meaning and a profound heart.

great song, It makes me forget about the heavy burdens of this life.

This song makes me want to travel the world

This gives me pure joy.

And you can clean around the wound If you want to It just takes time And you can go to the moon But if you want something to change You gotta change your life And take your time It just takes time It just takes time It just takes time Hard work and your time And the sun will leave a wound And leave you to the night And that's alright Because before the moonbeam comes There's a certain calm And then there's light It just takes time It just takes time A little trust and your time You can change your life It just takes time A little trust and your time And I can sit and talk 'Cause I was just like you So arrogant and brave Impetuous and rude Trust me as a friend And I'll do all that I can do And I'd do anything for you Because I want to see you through It just takes time Hard work and your time You can change your life It just takes time A little trust and your time A little trust and your time A little trust and your time It just takes time It just takes time Hard work and your time

I'm really digging this band's sound right now

Nothing more amazing than young love... plus this band is amazing!

I heard this song a lot in my favorite radio station during the early stage of my relationship with my beloved. Every day was like a dream, this amazing bubble you feel you are in when you're in love, protected from everything, not caring about anything.

This song makes me feel hope that everything is gonna be fine 💙

this video is heartbreaking. you can tell that when he looks at her, there’s nothing but love and joy. but when she looks at him, it’s a subtle resentment

This beautiful video just made me realize I will never be young again

woooow, what extravagant looking couple, matches the type of music

I watched this video in my shitty apartment on my 21st birthday in texas, surrounded by piles of moving boxes. I was alone, drinking a sad 12 pack that I was now old enough to buy, thinking about the upcoming move to Boston. After a very long drive (about 36 hours ), when i arrived in boston, I remember driving around one night and discovering Revere beach, sinking my toes in the sand, and re-listening to/watching this. It was magical. Boston is a fucking gorgeous place and will always have my heart.

Been coming back to this video for years. Only just realized it's in New Jersey and in the beginning he has a sign that says "beach" but they spend the whole video going the wrong way 😂. Love my home state - NJ all day 🗽♥️

this song makes me happy and sad. it's so good.

This song keeps my quarter-life crisis in check.

The opening lyrics to this song are so powerful. Gets me every time

You can clean around the wound But if you want it to heal It just takes time And you can call up to the moon But if you want something to change You've gotta change your life And take your time It just takes time It just takes time It just takes time Hard work and your time The sun will leave the room Will leave you to the night And that's alright Because before the morning comes There's a certain calm And then there's light It just takes time It just takes time A little trust and your time You can change your life It just takes time A little trust and your time And I can sit and talk Because I was just like you So arrogant and brave Impetuous and blue But trust me as a friend And I'll do all that I can do And I'd do anything for you Because I want to see you through It just takes time Hard work and your time You can change your life It just takes time A little trust your time A little trust and your time...

"Balance" is appropriate for all them powerslides in the rain

Man, I'm crying so hard with these lyrics. I really needed this right now, I fucked up bad in many instances of my life because I was too arrogant yet too shy, but I'm working on what I want, it's not time to give up. I will learn to surf one day and I will feel free with friends, it just takes time.

i love this song still. always will.

Nowthisisliving bring me here...... Nice song....

That bass line reminds me so much of New Order.

Amazing

I cant stop crying, this is so beautiful

Estoy en aislamiento total, tras dar positivo a Covid, esta canción me motiva a no perder la esperanza y se ah vuelto mi himno de batalla, y me motiva a salir adelante y no dejarme vencer, tarde o temprano venceremos al covid y yo también me encontraré en alguna carretera buscando una nueva aventura y esta canción de fondo ❤️

Randomly started diggin through Future islands because of Clams Casino - Ghost in a kiss and i find this. Went to school with the peeps in the video. crazy

These guys have never made a bad album

What...: in the hell. If music was like this I’d Be so fucking happy It was a different time They are still eternal

First time hearing this was live in concert I never knew who they were. Mann his energy was through the roof, from that show I can't listen to this the same way. Man he was dancing all over the stage and it made me wanna too

heard this live about 3 hours ago in London.......absolutely amazing!

Oh to be young again. The joy's of life. Life is a gift from God don't wast it

the best part of life is being in love with that special someone...that is really living. It's just a damn shame when it all falls apart like it inevitable does. makes me sad :( Always

Elbee Thrie (Male actor) has some good music! I'm glad I read that tape at 2:48 and googled it XD

This song gives me a sense of directionless hope..

Came here from NPRS tiny concert. I was diggin this last song a lot.

my favorite song from future islands an at 76 years old i can dance like him still too

This song makes me feel the bittersweet torture of thinking about the person I love and how although he will remain a part of my life, we will never be able to be together.

One of my all time favorite

Love love love this song

I looooove this song. Makes me sad, but also it gives me hope.

Just discovered this band and I can’t believe they slipped under my radar. I was listening to stuff like MGMT, Empire of the Sun, Ratatat, Boards of Canada, etc. around 10 years ago.

I'm still in love with this song! 💙

Amo estas canciones son tan mágicas ' y con sonidos casi astrales para mi #love future islands

You can hear the joy division influence in their sound. What a great video to put their sound to...
