Future Islands - Walking Through That Door Lyrics

Always enjoyed the idea that Future Islands envisioned this song to be played after that final sequence in The Graduate 🙌🏼

I'd like to send this video to that person I don't talk to anymore

This is epic.

I feel like I'm at a loft party in Brooklyn in 2010

Future islands wow brilliant

The song the visuals it’s perfect.

This is beautiful, this video will always have a special place in my heart:)

People....see this man live! My favorite song. ;) This is the type of music that should be on the radio...not....ummm...

that's LOVE

what a class act the sound moves my soul.

Absolutely genius. Perfect in every aspect.

Me & You.

awesome prose and video!!!

Mi banda favorita de los últimos años, brutales, buenísimos

As processions fade, new hearts doubt. An opener that always puts me in mind of *that* final scene in The Graduate.

It's even better live! https://youtu.be/tAPPZ2boJxw

Only 83k views? These guys rock, and Sam is an amazing writer.

saddest thing ive ever seen.

Don't know why, but this makes me cry. So beautiful and emotional

8 people couldnt get through the door

I love this video is so pretty. It brings out so much emotion out of me but I still like it.

Todo lo que hacen es arte, chicos.

As processions fade,
New hearts doubt.
But you are Golden and no one questions it.

But who you fake and how you sound,
Asks the best of men
To share your sentiment

I want to be the one to help you find those years
That you've been talking about.
Dreaming of the South
And all those lost goodbyes,
And all those lonely tears,
You never got to cry

It never works out right,
Unless you're one to follow.
Where the silence takes too long,
When the night falls
When the night falls oh so slow,
And caution isn't ours.
When the night falls
When the night falls oh so low,
We may lose control.

I want to be the one to help you find those years
That you've been talking about.
Dreaming of the South
And all those lonely nights,
And all those lost goodbyes,
You never got to sigh.

I want to be the one to help you find those dreams
Because you've been hanging around,
Talking about the South,
And all those balmy nights,
And all those lonely songs,
You never got to write.

And I'll hold your hand as I walk you through that door,
I'll hold your hand as you held my hand as I walk you through the door

Thanks you

For me, their best song

Some great memories to this song

.....damn...got that right....cheers....

Marcelo Veras It really is

Totally fucking AWESOME!!

you gotta watch their set at Glastonbury on you tube 👍 class

amazing <3 <3 <3 all that work that went into it. I love this

This is so fucked up

What did i just watch. What is that golden thing? Why is it with a bear? Why was he under the bed? Why is he taking pics of her? Why did that candle come out of the ground? Why are there eyes? Why is she in a golden cave? Please someone explain!!!

Congratulations! Your one year closer to death.

What if I do not die.

Oh you will...you will. Be it a 100 years or 1000 (which I highly doubt). But I will be there to congratulate you my dearest friend.

I think the girl has depression - which is embodied/symbolised by the black bear. At the start she struggles to get out of bed. The black bear then takes her hands, she is in the grips of depression. As the bear holds her, she is crying. Then the setting of the sun, as the "night falls" shows the passage of time, and how things have become darker. This passage of time is symbolised again in the candle burning away (years go by) and the Christmas tree (seasons go by), all the while she is still in the grips of depression (black bear) as all life's enjoyment is sucked from her. The black bear then opens the curtains, offering a way out of this sadness (symbolised by the crying eyes) in the form of suicidal thoughts (symbolised by the closing of the eyes). She then takes the black bear's hands, giving in to the suicidal thoughts. They then turn to the door/cave (symbolising the passage into death), she turns back to the black bear, scared and needing guidance. He nods, encouraging her to pass through, promising he'll "hold her hand" as she walks through the door. They are then shown, asleep together - she is dead. Her spirit appears, and the black bear takes the crown from her dead body and gives it to her spirit - symbolising the passage into the afterlife (from body to spirit) as her body is consumed by the earth. Then, in the embrace of the black bear, they look to the heavens; she has given herself entirely to depression.

I appreciate your interpretation very much.

Got the chills... That's how you know it's good

Saul Bautista yep
