I’m a 43 year old cancer survivor who found the love of my life 8 years ago. I’ve lost 6 babies early on and now we are healthfully pregnant with a baby boy due in August .. this song as always hit close to home but todays Mother’s Day and he’s kickin and all I can’t think is “I’ve been waiting on you “ .. the biggest tears of joy while I hear my favorite song ❤

I am 72 and first saw these at Glastonbury and was bowled over. Age doesn't stop me recognising fantastic music. Brilliant stage presence. I love this group ❤️

This song is criminally underrated. It should have won all the awards the year it was released.

10 years on & only just discovered this song & the band , awesome is the only way to describe it , can’t stop playing this in my car !!!! ❤❤❤

This song is both a banger and a tearjerker. That's insane.

Im 54 gave up being a drug dickhead and now found love of my life and never been happier in my life this song said it all ♥️

First heard this song on the 'Avios' TV advert in the UK. Love it! It's one of those songs that give me the shivers. 💖👍

Seasons change And I tried hard just to soften you And seasons change But I've grown tired of trying to change for you 'Cause I've been waiting on you I've been waiting on you 'Cause I've been waiting on you I've been waiting on you As it breaks The summer will wake But the winter will wash what is left Of the taste As it breaks The summer will warm But the winter will crave what is gone Will crave what has all Gone away People change But you know some people never do You know when people change They gain a piece but they lose one too 'Cause I've been hanging on you I've been waiting on you 'Cause I've been waiting on you I've been hanging on you As it breaks The summer will wake But the winter will wash what is left Of the taste As it breaks The summer will warm But the winter will crave what is gone Will crave what is gone Will crave what has all Gone away 'Cause I've been waiting on you

Their appearance on Letterman is Legendary.

Wow. It's been a while since I heard a singing voice that conveyed just about every single possible emotion at once. Seriously, that guy's voice is amazing.

"People change But you know some people never do You know when people change They gain a piece but they lose one, too" I love this lyric, it really hits for me. Very well written.

Can’t believe it’s taken me this many years to watch the official video to this song. How beautiful. One of my all-time favorite songs and definitely my favorite Letterman musical performance ever.

Going into the 2020s and this song only ages better as time progresses. Simply one of the greatest songs ever written.

This is my favorite music video of all time. It really paints a romantic picture of my country life. A beautiful culture that often gets overlooked.

I can't listen to this song without crying. Hats off to everyone behind the music video and the genius of showcasing the courage of everyday love and compassion.

It's 2021, and I am regularly and strangely drawn back again and again. I can't fight the pull!

i did not expect this kind of video to go with this song, but it does. gives me chills. A man who loves his woman and his kids is damn sexy.

So good!

Never understood what it was to be an infatuas fan of anything or anybody...till I heard these guys ...and I'm a 65 year old man ..just seen them live in dublin ireland ..fantastic gig ..Collins barracks. Sam is the man also rest of the guys ..thank you for a memorable night ❤

The obsession with this song is strong. 2019

This is such an underrated song that deserves so much more publicity.

im not usually a fan of this type of music but this one i loved and listen to it over and over~ future islands....youve won this grandma over to your side of the street ~ great song love it!! good job

First exposure to this track was only this week (June 2019) at a funeral in the most perfect setting of St Monans Auld Kirk Scotland, the setting and the acoustics in the hall really done this track justice. Thanks Mrs D... R.I.P.

It is September 2019. My son is 5 years old now. My wife used to play this song for him before he was born in Mommy's tummy, he used to move and kick a bit, then after he was born he would recognize the song and stop everything just to be hypnotized listening to the song. Then he fell in love with the video. We just played it again and he still loves it!! And so do we!!

Seasons change, and I tried hard just to soften you The seasons change, but I've grown tired of tryin' to change for you Because I've been waiting on you I've been waiting on you Because I've been waiting on you I've been waiting on you As it breaks, the summer awaits But the winter washed whats left of the taste As it breaks, the summer awaits But the winter craved whats lost Crave whats all gone away People change, even though some people never do You know when people change They gain a piece but they lose one too Because I've been hanging on you I've been waiting on you Because I've been waiting on you I've been hanging on you As it breaks, the summer awaits But the winter washed whats left of the taste As it breaks, the summer awaits But the winter craved whats lost Crave whats all Crave whats all gone away 'Cause I've been waiting on you

Years ago the love of my life introduced me to this song, but seasons changed and now I crave what's all gone away.

When a relationships ends, but that one is hopeful for its resurrection... you pray and hope for not necessarily a change in other person, but that you yourself change for the better. The lyrics beautifully, desperately, and hauntingly capture that angst of waiting for your loved one to turn back.

Although I've lived in SoCal for 8 years, I was born and raised in "flyover country" like the folks in this video and this video wholly encapsulates everything that we're about. It's absolutely magical; I can smell the scents of Fall in this video. I can feel my family and the community in it. They're the best people in the world from the best place in the world. I'm so happy Future Islands chose it for their video of an amazing song.

As a horse person, and having grown up on a farm, this is my favorite video, and the song is powerful and refreshing

A happy little sad song with an 80s feel - never heard it before but I really like it a lot! Definitely needs to be played loudly in the car on a dark road late at night -windows down - and the feel of the night air blowing thru your hair! I love it!❤❤❤

im addicted to this, this guy really pours his entire being into his singing and strangely i think this video goes with the song

Well, that was unexpected, moving, and absolutely friggin' beautiful.

this is the greatest song I've heard in YEARS

"It has been said that a woman marries a man hoping he will change, while a man marries a woman hoping she will never change. This song is about the end of such a relationship. The Summer of the relationship is the time of warmth, peace and companionship. The Winter is the time of coldness to each other, and the memory of Summer only brings more pain with the realization of what has been lost and can't be recovered. Spring rarely comes twice to a couple. The man had tried to change, but in the end it only led to a sense of frustration and failure. It is not his fault. At least not all of it. I have lived this." Mah1y

They opened for Weezer tonight. I was in awe by these guys. This was a great song live 😢

I don't know how many times I've listened to this song or seen this clip. I just simply love it!!!

Haven't been as excited discovering a new band as Future Islands for a long time, simply brilliant!

This is one of those songs you want to share with EVERYONE you know and be like “OMG Listen, isn’t this one of the greatest songs you’ve ever heard??”. But you don’t. For fear of them going ‘meh’ and then you have to cull them from your friend circle. I feel the same about The Rat, by The Walkmen (which I was listening to when the Spotify algorithm landed me on this tune)

Really love this video. Don’t know how I missed it a decade ago. Seems a lot of us in the UK find ourselves here thanks to that TV ad. What the ad is about escapes me, but the tune got me. I just want an eFoil!

This video captures the rapturous joy of love. Between and man and woman, parents and their children, and of people in a faith community, and a man and his horse. truly beautiful and profound. It is a joy to watch .

This is one of the most romantic songs I have ever heard.

This song enjoyed a new lease of life in Britain in 2024, when it featured in an advertisement for Avios. Brilliant song, and the woman who appears in the video is beautiful.

This song will make its debut in an HBO show and it will forever be remembered as that. Let's enjoy it while we can lads 😉

This is MUSIC! They really need more recognition, they're really good.

Maybe the best song of this decade.

I saw this band on mute during Letterman's final week. I thought who is this frontman dancing like this? Now obsessed fan. Genius fellas. Lifelong fan here!!

I don't know if it's just the song or the video but it's a haunting sound crossing the years. Future Islands was at once pretty inspired. Pictures from lone star people, simple and out of time are quite amazing, as if coming from what would be perfect harmony. Thank so much for such a jewel.

This man brought out every emotion within me when I watched him on Jools Holland tonight. It's amazing to see and hear a band that aren't superficial and who focus not on sounding perfect, but on conveying the song lyrics with all of the emotion that they were written to evoke. Damn.

At first I was like, "What's with this video?" And then at around the 2 minute mark I was like, "This is absolutely perfect."

Like the previous comment said this song is in a new Avios advert in the UK, I love it every time I hear it and never heard it before so googled it. Love it!

Capturing them riding side by side on horse is really powerful. She's so Beautiful, wow.

Watching this over and over again. The video and song is incredible. I've never heard this band before but they are amazing

man, this song just grabs me by the balls everytime.

I'm from Mexico and I have to say that this kind of music is GREAT! Love the rhythm, voice, everything! Way to go, your music is international! Not sure if you guys are from Texas, but... Let's go TEXAS!

It takes an Advert in England to bring people to this fantastic Chuuuuune what’s been out years ❤

I too heard this on an advert Avioius. Every time I tried to look it up I could have sworn it was Elton John singing. Love this song, thanks guys. x

Skater XL brought me here and I'm addicted ever since

Wow this an outstanding video. Great cinematography - kudos to Kyle Repka! I like the song but this is maybe the first time ever that I enjoyed the video even more! Great portrait of simple, unadulterated joy of a small community. I often feel so disconnected living in LA.

My boyfriend shared this lovely song with me. I'm thankful as I lost my husband 6 months ago. Dave you saved me from my grief. I love you babe

I have been following these guys for about 4 years now and I feel they are one of the best bands in our time right up there with U2, and the rest of the greats. It is about time they get the recognition that they deserve so rightfully so. Keep up the great music....

There's something unique about this band... Love it!

A few years ago my dad had showed me the singer of this band performing this song and he was dancing funny and for some reason I decided to look it up but I'm glad I did because I didn't realize how good this song actually is

This song can apply to so many things. My new favorite song. Not even my genre of music

This band is bringing back the old sounds with this song. LOVE IT

Don't know this band I'm from England but this song blows me away 😀

Only discovered them last year on KZfaq, and then by a pure miracle saw them last night in a 1500-person venue here in Perth, Western Australia. Sam mentioned they were celebrating 17 years; well, they performed as fresh and humble as if it was year 1. They played for almost two hours and were extraordinary! The crowd noise that followed Seasons was the loudest I have ever heard in my 54 years. I see why long-time fans worship Sam; he's like a peace-loving tornado on stage. I honestly felt like I had somehow evolved after this gig. If you get a chance, go! Thanks, Gerrit, William, Sam, and Michael, for an incredible show.

This song Makes a bad day good

Just watched them on David Letterman WOW amazing

There is nothing better than growing up in small town america. I live in the city now but it is always a treat coming home.

The is truly one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard, I listen to it almost everyday

One of the most beautiful songs ever made ❤

Amazing. This song is absolutely brilliant. Love this band.

This single has single-handedly restored my faith & interest in music !......

This beautiful piece evokes one of the most cherished moments in my life. I spent six months training for the Big Sur marathon. I'm not competitive or a runner, really. I was worried about the 2-mile hill at Hurricane Point and trained extensively for it. I kept running, and as I crested this hill, the view of the Pacific opened up, and this song erupted. My heart swelled, my eyes welled with tears, this song beautifully enhanced the view and the pride I felt having conquered hurricane point. I was elated and felt so lucky and grateful for this song. It was a moment of purity, and I relive it every time I hear this song. Thank you, Sam, for your talent, your love, your energy, and everything you pour into your music. I am eternally grateful.

Evios have just launched a TV advert using this track.Simply Brilliant 👍

Considering this song is about Love, and the patience love can bring. I am from California and my sister lives in Texas. She and her husband are like this couple. when we think of country folk we image country music... Instead of country lyrics. This song is very very powerful in the aspect of universal acceptance. Love is Love, no matter if you have a cowboy hat on or dreadlocks. Love is the Universal Truth.

Seasons change, but this song remains a huge hit in a parallel universe or something

I could listen to this song all day working farm ..i listen at least 3 to 4 times daily...bring more of this music out and man ....unstoppable you guys are

Real people, real life, real music. Well done!

I love this song soooo much. But what I really love is this video. Real people, real LOVE. Just beautiful.

New Future Islands, YES PLEASE!

beautiful cinematography in this music video. reminds me of cold and sunny winter days on country FM roads in Texas. Makes me reflect all the times I would accompany my dad on his work in the rural parts of TX. He would let me choose the music, and I'd get to be my angsty teenage self in the backseat. That was a special type of bonding.

Laugh all you want, this is a great song, classic, implores more depth to emotion than any poet will ever expound, more than any other singer besides him will ever deliver such emotional melancholy!

Don't know why but this song gives me peace of mind.

Avios advert brought me here

Somehow I feel human again listening to this song. It is powerful!

Great song and the video clip is the icing on the cake. Top class song mated to such amazing videography is so good. Thanks.

I heard this song in my head while sleeping, so here I am playing it, i just love it!

Does anyone else like crave this song sometimes. Like you just have to stop what you're doing and listen to it?

Such an awesome song, so under-rated it's almost criminal!

idk when the song was released years, ago I wasn´t too much interested in it but now since some time I have the urge to listen to it every day like in an obsessive way.

My favorite country western group for sure

Hi Robert baby bear..... You are having a great sleep sweetheart and I am soooo happy...... I just woke up and I heard this song and wanted to share it with you my love for whenever you have the time and no pressure..... Wherever you can my love.....listen to this song again Robert as it is a very beautiful song that you gave me when we first renewed our friendship and it makes me smile and think about you... You have the utmost taste in music and you are my very best friend.... I adore you and admire you Robert........ So no deletes Robert...... See this whenever you can baby...... It just makes me smile.... Baa Xoxoxo 💜

There is not a song in the last 20 years that has touched my soul with images, sound and depth of lyrics. The video is just simply amazing!

Welcome to the heart of USA! We love, work, and pray! Peace friends.

I guess nobody feel so sad and happy like me when I listen this

Two days ago I had to put to sleep my beautiful black Belgian Malinois, who I loved to death. That evening I had an errand to do with the wife in a store and I heard this on the speaker for the first time in my life when I had been fighting back tears all evening. I knew this was the song that was going to not only pull the extreme grief out of me, give me strength but the song put the incredible personality, grace, strength, and beauty he was into music. This was the song that was going to make me remember how incredible he was. The crescendo made me imagine him running at full speed across that plain like I had seen him do thousands of times which captured the beautiful power and free spirit he had. The last couple of years he had gotten sick in the fall and I had angst all summer, that this process would repeat itself. Seasons changed and this fall he had lung cancer- now I crave what is gone...

How am I just discovering these guys now? Shame good music gets buried while bubble gum pop gets forced down your throat.

The power of the advert...heard this song and ordered the album " Singles " which is ace

I'm a big fan of Future Islands. This is a really nice song, but I'm hoping they are just beginning to ease us into a wild ride for the rest of the album. As the single they are just opening the door a crack for us to peak inside. I can't wait to see them live in March in Madison. I bet you the rest of their new album will have plenty of Oomph for us all to experience. This is only the beginning!
