"Seasons (Waiting on You)" is a song by American synthpop band Future Islands. It is the opening track on their fourth studio album Singles, and was released as the album's lead single on February 4, 2014.[1] The song received much critical acclaim, topping The Village Voice's annual year-end Pazz & Jop critics' poll[2] and also being named the best track of 2014 by publications such as NME,[3]Pitchfork,[4] and Spin.[5] In 2019, it was named the 34th best song of the 2010s by Pitchfork,[6] and was ranked 94th on Rolling Stone's 100 Best Songs of the 2010s.[7]
The band's performance of the song on Late Show with David Letterman became an internet hit[21] due to frontman Samuel T. Herring's visual and vocal performance, which included elaborate and angular dance moves and death metal-style growls. Herring also put on a similarly unusual performance during the band's performance of the song on Later... with Jools Holland.[22]
