Future Islands
First single from the 2017 album The Far Field, recorded in late 2016. Herring speaks about love, his life on the road, and the difficulty of conciliating both.
STH: I don’t want to say anything I don’t believe in. (…) The only thing I can honestly talk about and believe in is my own life, so I sha...
[Verse 1]
Ingest, where it goes, nobody sees but me
So perfect and so sweet
But the rest, feels incomplete
Like the rabbit's foot I keep
In the locket, with no key
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't take it, I can't take this world without
This world without you
I can't take it, I can't take it on my own
On my own
[Chorus]
On these roads
Out of love, so it goes
How it feels when we fall, when we fold
How we lose control, on these roads
How it sings as it goes
Flight of field, driving snow
Knows the cold
Ran round the wailing world
[Verse 2]
And what's a song without you?
When every song I write is about you
When I can't hold myself without you
And I can't change the day I found you
[Chorus]
On these roads
Out of love, so it goes
How it feels when we fall, when we fold
How we lose control, on these roads
How it sings as it goes
Flight of field, driving snow
Knows the cold
[Outro]
Out of love, so it goes
How it feels when we fall, when we fold
How we lose control, on these roads
How it sings as it goes
Flight of field, driving snow
Knows the cold
Ran round the wailing world

SAM HERRING via Rolling Stone:
Me and William [Cashion] came up with the concept of the video and the day we shot it, I was like, ‘Oh shoot, now I have to go run’ – I haven’t run in like, eight years!. After that, I was hobbled over."
