Future Islands return with their first new song in three years, ‘For Sure’. Written and recorded in the band’s hometown of Baltimore, the chest-pounding anthem features backing vocals from Jenn Wasner of Wye Oak.
The accompanying video for ‘For Sure’ was created by Sam Mason and charts a long journey through a bleak post-apocalyptic landscape. Watch it in full below.
‘For Sure’
Directed by Sam Mason
‘For Sure’
Perish the pain
I was impoverished
Those ties that wind
And stared into open lanes
Stared into long long nights
Howling and still
West of the Eastern Cove
Carving the wind
Dawn of your eyes
Dust off your smile
——
When you say ‘us’
You make me trust
——
I will never keep you from an open door
I know, you know
That’s how much I feel in everything you are
You know, I know
——
Hot as the day
When we sat on stones
Watching the fish, run
Under our feet, and flow
And dove from the rocks
Scraping my knees and toes
And blood, with me, rose
Slow from the sea
And you were waiting for me
Waiting for me
Waiting for me
Waiting for me
You were waiting for me
——-
It’s just how much
When you say ’us’
You don’t know just how much
You make me trust
——-
I will never keep you from an open door
I know, you know
That’s how much I feel in everything you are
I know, I know
I will never keep you from an open door
I know, you know
I will never keep you from just who you are
I know, I know
