Late Night
Foals Lyrics
Calling out your name (name, name, name)
Oh, I hope that you are somebody
Someone I could count
To pull me to my feet again
When I was in doubt
Oh now Mama, do you hear me?
I'm calling out your name
Oh now Mama, do you hear me?
Calling out your name
Now I'm the last cowboy in this town
Empty veins and my plastic broken crown
They said I swam the sea that ran around
They said I once was lost but now I'm truly found
And I know the place another way
I feel, I feel no shame
Oh now Mama, do you hear my fear?
It's coming after me
I'm calling out your name
I'm calling out your name
And I know the place another way
I feel, I feel no shame
Oh now Mama, do you hear my fear?
It's coming after me
I'm calling out your name

In January 2018, it was announced that Walter Gervers (bass) was leaving the band.
The band was formed in 2005 by Philippakis and Bevan, both former members of math rock band The Edmund Fitzgerald, and Andrew Mears of Youthmovies. Mears left the band after their first single to focus on Youthmovies. In January 2018, it was announced that Walter Gervers was also leaving the band.
In early 2007, the band released the limited edition 7" singles Hummer and Mathletics, both produced by Gareth Parton. In the summer of 2007 Foals began working on their debut album in New York. It was produced by Dave Sitek of TV On The Radio, however, the band decided to mix the album themselves, stating that Sitek made the first master copy of the album sound like "it was recorded in the Grand Canyon". Yannis has stated multiple times during various interviews that Foals and Dave Sitek are on good terms, even though the copy by Sitek was rejected by the band.
Foals released their debut album, entitled Antidotes, on 24 March 2008 in the UK and 8 April 2008 in the US. The album was a commercial success in the United Kingdom, debuting at No. 3 in the UK Albums Charts. The album was a minor success in other countries, charting in Japan, France and the Netherlands. Non-UK versions of the album include the early Parton produced singles.
In August 2009, Foals started recording their second album at Svenska Grammofon Studion in Gothenburg, Sweden. The album, Total Life Forever, has been described by the band members as sounding like "tropical prog" and "like the dream of an eagle dying". The band have described the album as being "a lot less funk" than they had originally planned. The album was produced by Luke Smith, formerly of Clor, and its title is named after an element of Ray Kurzweil's theory of singularity. The band's frontman Yannis Philippakis has professed a long time interest in futurology, with it informing numerous songs on Total Life Forever.
On 1 March 2010, the promotional single "Spanish Sahara" was first played on Zane Lowe's show Radio 1. Foals' new website was updated that night with the release of a video for the track directed by longtime collaborator Dave Ma. On 6 March, the Total Life Forever site was officially launched. Puzzles revealed images, lyrics and sound clips of songs from the album. The last clip appeared on 12 March, and resulted with a password entry for the Foals' new website. The site was opened on 13 March and presented the whole new art concept and media including samples of songs, photos and videos. Lead single "This Orient" was released on 3 May 2010. The album was finally released on 10 May 2010. "Spanish Sahara" was later released as a full physical single in September 2010, featuring an edited remix starring the strings of London Contemporary Orchestra. The album was nominated for the 2010 Mercury Prize.

Calling out your name (name, name, name)
Oh, I hope that you were somebody
Someone I could count
To pull me to my feet again
When I was in doubt
Oh now Mama, do you hear me?
I'm calling out your name
Oh now Mama, do you hear me?
Calling out your name
Calling out your name
Now I'm the last cowboy in this town
Empty veins and my plastic broken crown
They said I swam the sea that ran around
They said I once was lost but now I'm truly found
And I know the place another way
I feel, I feel no shame
Oh now Mama, do you hear my fear?
It's coming after me
I'm calling out your name
I'm calling out your name
And I know the place another way
I feel, I feel no shame
Oh now Mama, do you hear my fear?
It's coming after me
I'm calling out your name
Bolivar Davalos
Oh I hope
That you,
Somebody
Someone I could count
To pull me to my feet again
When I was in doubt
Oh now Mama,
Do you hear me?
I'm calling out your name
Oh now Mama,
Do you hear me?
I'm calling out your name
Calling out your name
Now I'm the last cowboy
In this town
Empty veins
And my plastic broken crown
They said I swam
The sea that ran aground
They said I was you, lost
But now I'm truly found
And I know the place
But not the way
I feel, I feel no shame
Oh now Mama,
Do you hear my fear?
It's coming after me
It's coming after me
Calling out your name
Stay with me
Stay with me
And I threw my heart away
Boy, I know just what I said
Let phone cut in the way
Being still downtown I say
And I know you ran away
Oh I know but I'm feeling okay
And I found love
And fear won't go
And I found love
And fear won't go
See you walk away
Feeling okay
Now
Happy now?
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me

This is the most underrated song by Foals, for me it's one of the best or plain and simple, their best song ever made, it's just beautiful and maybe it deserves way much more love tough it's fine by me, very few people really appreciates this gem.
David Oxner
Absolutely agree. And in each of the three scenarios they are calling out to God but for different reasons. 🎧🎥
el nicco velic xdxd
The best song is Black Gold
Alonso Bañuelos
@TheBanditBren For me this is one of my favourite songs ever, it's just perfect but it's hard to say which one is the best of all as music is infinite.
B Hew
I'm not a huge Foals fan but I do adore this song if that helps? :)
Julián David
My favorite song! Indeed!
Tim Goodwin
Hard to believe this came out almost 10 years ago. This song is incredible and so is the video.
Noah Singer
The hotel is named the “hotel of life”. From my interpretation, all of these events are happening in the hotel (as clearly seen). This video shows 3 things : love, life, and death. All three things everyone experiences in life, and the guy that was getting drunk was in the middle of it all. It just goes to show how much happens in the world and the nature we humans have. This video is pure art
Lisa Liebich
It's more of a lust than a love to me.
Dima Bylinsky
i think it shows how close LIFE, LOVE, DEATH to each other
