Geoff le Geoff, I prefer the lyrical content of Pumped Up Kicks.

Sometimes life it takes you by the hair Pulls you down Before you know it, it's gone and you're dead again I've been in places and I won't pretend Yeah I'd make it out just to fall on my head Wake up strange and take the walk downstairs Hit the pawn up on the corner and pay for my rent You know that I could not believe my own truth Just show them what I choose, got nothing to lose Yeah yeah and it's O.K. I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight You know those days when you want to just choose To not get out of bed, you're lost in your head again You play the game but you kind of cut 'Cause you're coming down hard and your joints are all stuck I've tried to say that it's not the only way I never knew if I could face myself to change You were pacing, I was insecure Slip and fall, I'm dodging calls, hug the prison I've been living in Yeah yeah and it's O.K. I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight Yeah yeah and it's O.K. I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison Took a sip of something poison, poison Yeah yeah and it's O.K. I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight Yeah yeah and it's O.K. I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison Took a sip of something poison, poison

I could listen to this on loop for who knows how long. This song resonates with me. The lyrics, the beat, his voice...it just makes me feel.

Mark keeping the title of human kazoo as always

I love how he has such a different unique voice! Such talent!:) Love this song

❤ watching from 2023 this version will always be my favorite.

he should sing in a deeper voice more often

So different voice, but like it and soooooo much.

Went on a date last night and we talked about Torches and how we both love this song so as I'm walking her home I played this and it was oddly and beautifully romantic

love Foster the People

This gives the song a whole different vibe. It's like a completely different song altogether. Not many muscian's are capable of changing audience's perspectives of their music through slimmed down versions. This proves just how amazing mark is. I'm so glad he's getting all this recognition. Gives me hope for our dim witted generation.. GOOD MUSIC

2019, this is still freaking gold. Mark Simms is a genius 💙

2024: still GOLD ✨✨✨

I removed my like just to like again. A underrated version of a awesome song! I'm glad to be in a concert of Foster cause this band have a really good vibe.

2017 omg I adore this version

Near the end, the lyrics he added, are so dark, amazing, and matches with the happy tone. It describes Foster The People and i love them for that :)

My favorite version of this song

Mark's Voice...... *Chills*

I've listened/watched this video so many times, I'm actually sad when he doesn't sing the extra bit at the end in the studio version.

This song is amazing !!! Im glad i put the effort in to learn this on guitar

first time Ive heard this version. I love it! really shows off his vocal talent.

A lot of music taste could be found here on this song and it's a relaxing song as well. FosterThePeople was quite a talented band that I listen since I'm 20.

I really love those lyrics he added on. They sound perfect.

I fucken love their acoustic version it's so amazing !

this is one of my all time favourite youtube videos ever. I must have viewed it a hundred times

It is UNREAL how there’s still no acoustic album. I was mindblown 9 yrs ago when I heard these renditions. Couldn’t get enough & put them on a cd. C’mon Mark, 😭

I’ve played this version of this song probably 10 thousand times, I always go back to it. I love the original but this is just wow.

I love their acoustic stuff and how marks voice is so diverse but this song is even better with marks high voice like in the recorded version, cos it makes it more like... freaked out and surreal which makes adds a lot to this song and makes it very unique but never the less i so love the added lyrics

That's talent

One of the best bands ever! İ love the acoustic versions

9 years ago? Lmao I'm so old.

I love foster the people

Magic.

Perfect.

Why do they have to be so perfect all of them!!! I am in love with every song they do!!! I am a proud fosterer and will always be one!!! GO FOSTERERS!!!!!

im crying

Both live and in the video, I love how his voice sounds great high and low.

my favorite video on youtube

Beautiful

Omg, i love his voice in this lower octive!!! His such amazing voice range!!

Love it! And I noticed the way he sounds here, much lower in pitch than the voice on the official video or concerts where he has a high pitch.

his voice is so high in the original one, and in this one his voice is so low. O.O i love it! :D

I love them, and Mark's voice is always amazing

ahw

Beautiful😭😍

...and this is whats hiding behind all the electronica.fuckin awesome thanks for uploading!

thank you foster the people.

i love how they went with a more minor key in the acoustic version, very fitting!!!

I love you, Mark Foster

I love it I love you Mark Foster

lives are always better than studios and always changeable. i really couldn't imagine to listen helena beat in that tone! it's amazing juuusst amazing. you're awsome guys.

they r my idols!every single one pf them

this is just pure beauty

I like this version so much

I HOPE EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT WE´RE LISTENING TO...I HAVEN´T SEEN GUYS AS TALENTED AS FTP SINCE THE BEATLES SO... TAKE A PIC WITH THEM NOW CUZ IN 20 YEARS THEY´RE GONNA BE BIGGER THAN TODAY

I like all of these acoustic versions wayyayayayayyyyyyyayayay more than the originals. Much more life in them.

Its amazing how this rendition gives the song a completely different tone and vibe. Wow.

saw them in houston..they were downright amazing. Im gonna see them AGAIN in june with the kooks! I ABSOLUTELY FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND! LONG LIVE FTP!

love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and i thought that they couldnt get ANY BETTER!!!! they are so talented!

love this band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

This song is so deep I cried ;~;

i loooooooove this band all there songs are awesome!!!!!!!

@HelloJello375 I couldn't agree with you more.... i mean they're AMAZING... EVERYWHERE.... on the album.... their live performances.... and their acoustics are MIND-BLOWING!! beautiful.... :)

The last part is just... amazing! Give me a good feeling.

I love the acoustic version.

Their music is so beautiful when done acuostically.

This is so beautiful

Never tired of listen to this song

OMG, I know a studio version with the extra verse wouldn't top this version, but I want it.

This makes me happy in ways I can't explain

Luv this band

Oh God, Mark, your voice.. Wow.

This song keeps me goin love this version

Yea, alright, I chain my hands to my bed, yes I'm alive. Yea, alright. I comb my hair with a knife. Yes, I'm alive. Yea, alright. I never run from a fight. Yes, I'm alive.

they are so flexible with their music, it sounds good how ever they decide to play it

beautiful.

They are my favorite band and this is an awesome version of Helena Beat; love the bonus lyrics!

It’s 2023, October…. I can’t enough of this song lately, especially this version…. They need to cut an acoustic album with Ben Howard….

when acoustic that song sounds so different and... a little bit sad --- in LOVE with it!!!

Not only is this über amazing, but it also lasts 4:20 WHADDUP!

Mark has a tattoo of three stars in the arm - Mark you are not only a three stars! You are all FIVE!

yeah i agree with those people! just because maybe you're not privelaged with being able to hear new music before it's a little more well known, doesn't mean you're not a true fan. and just because Pumped Up Kicks is popular doesn't mean it can't be your favorite :)

essa voz

thanku!!! Blessed by the muses these boys are!

Look at the way he plays the guitar, you can tell he's different!

That was beautiful

Honestly, I'm tearing up. This is beautiful.

Am I the only one who had goosebumps while listening to this? This is simply beautiful and depth of Mark's voice only made it even better. I know everybody wrote this,but I have to say it again: they just HAVE TO release acoustic album,it would be perfect!

he added some new lyrics at the end... I like it

I love finding acoustic versions of their songs...so different but awesome!

Good Lord I love you guys..like Dylan, Cash.

I love his voice!!! :) The performance is beautiful. Simple and original.

This is the best performance of Helena Beat.

I love those extra lyrics so much.

I'm a musician...I've played shows....I wish I had just a fraction of the talent Mark has...

They play so well together
