Biography:
Future Islands is a new wave band based in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The band is composed of Gerrit Welmers (keyboards and programming), William Cashion (bass, acoustic and electric guitars), Samuel T. Herring (lyrics and vocals) and Michael Lowry (percussion, since 2020). Future Islands' music style has been tagged as synthpop, but the band has routinely rejected that classification, considering themselves as post-wave,by combining the romanticism of new wave with the power and drive of post-punk.

[Verse 1]
C
By the shattered calls of a mother's arms
All swept-inside like the rosary
F
That fell away when her girlish charms
Cried out to take on motherhood
C
She waits by the windowsill
All wrapped in white and puzzling
F
What happened to the child inside?
Who ran the streets and the days at night...
[Chorus]
C
She says, "Nothing seems the same."
And, "I can't change a thing."
F
"My body's like a wave, breaking to the sea."
C
She says, "Everything seems strange."
Locked behind the years
F
But life is ours to find, in the days at night
[Verse 2]
C
There passes a stranger every eve
Who walks himself on a silver-leash
F
And in his head, the worlds asleep
Or, so the wrinkles in his hands believe
C
When he was young, he had a dream
To be a star, on the movie-screen
F
Now it all seems a silly lie
As he walks alone
And, the days on fire
[Chorus]
C
He says, "Nothing seems the same."
And, "I can't feel a thing."
F
"My bodies like a wave, caving in on me"
C
He says, "Everything seems strange."
Holding back the tears
F
And he smiles just like a child
In the days at night
[Refrain]
C
Mother of song
You'll find the right way
F
To cherish in dreams
All of the small things
C
Father in time
You'll find a world
F
That's so perfect and calm
All of the small things
[Refrain]
C
Mother of song
You'll find the right way
F
To cherish in dreams
All of the small things
C
Father in time
You'll find a world
F
That's so perfect and calm
All of the small things
[Refrain]

You'll find the right way
