Mark foster inspired me to take up piano again. That's how much foster the people's music touched me.
You can interpret that sentence any way you'd like. Because 1) they touched my heart, definitely but 2) they're all incredibly goodlooking (which is just a bonus) so yeah, i wouldn't hesitate if they were to...you know...
@shaotaku it says Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything - Plato. I think he talks about it in the Tiny Desk Concert.
When comparing the album to the acoustic versions it's just a matter of preference which you like more. This song in this performance is 100x better than the album version in every way.
I listen to this song at least once a day. The album is always playing in my car. Foster The People are a great band with very meaningful lyrics. Love them!
there is like no bad song on the album though if I had to do a ranking it would go like this:
1. Helena Beat, 2. I'd Do Anything For You, 3 Waste, 4 Pumped Up Kicks, 5. Houdini, 6. Hustling, and then probably 7. Call It What You Want 8. Warrant, 9 Miss You, 10 Dont Stop
(although the last 4 are like the second "tier" because they are not as good as the six)
I love this performance and this song is brilliant especially the "you can" part which adds another texture to this song :)
*song starts* dancing like crazy *song ends* me:*clapping* woo! Yeah! *heads turn* me: oh...my bad I'll just be quiet. Wow this crowd is dead it must have been like extremely awkward to perform in front of these mannequins.
This is a very talented Band and they are really cool guys, they're down to earth and have a sound all of their own, I wish them many years of success ahead: Kudos to Foster The People.
This is definitely my favorite song by them...and not to sound like a hipster or anything, but Pumped up Kicks is one of their worst songs, but its still great. i LOVE FTP! I am a Foster Child for sure!!!
@Hollywoodsteve aay! If your ever bored don't be shy to check out my cover of "I Would Do Anything For You" I don't got any special mic condensers or anything, just totally unplugged, thank you
They're coming to Singapore and I'm so sad because my mom won't let me go if I'm going alone, but I don't know anyone else who loves Foster the People like I do ):
These guys are amazing and so unique. Now days its hard to find bands this dedicated and talented to what they do and The album Torches is the very first album I loved EVERY single song on it and thts hard to do, and they are going to be big one day
When I listen to FTP´s debut somehow The Counting Crows 1993 debut album August and Everything After comes to mind listening to these songs. Every track was perfection and poetry. It´s the closest comparison that I can conjure.
This is truly like.. a magic band, in 4 or 5 years, I'm sure they'll be as famous as Muse today. I saw them yesterday and i just.. WANT to see them again, I really CAN'T wait. FTP = DRUGS = GOOD.
but in the meantime i'll just wait here and listen to you when you speak or scream
