My fiance showed me this album when we first started dating and he was so happy to finally find someone else who liked beach house as much as he did, he showed me new songs almost everytime we saw one another, he said bloom was his favorite album that it spoke to him make him feel at peace. He had passed away not too long ago and though this makes me cry listening to it now, it takes me back to those times of him and I young and in love listening to this driving down the highways. Thank you
Each time the next song plays, I always think 'Oh yeah, THIS is the best song on the album'. Then the next song plays and I think the same thing again.
1. Myth (0:00) Drifting in and out See the road you're on You came rolling down the cheek You say just what you need And in between It's never as it seems Help me to name it Help me to name it If you built yourself a myth You'd know just what to give What comes after this Momentary bliss The consequence Of what you do to me Help me to name it Help me to name it Found yourself in a new direction Arrows falling from the sun Can you come? Would they come to breach you? Let you know you're not the only one... You can't keep hangin' on To all that's dead and gone If you built yourself a myth You'd know just what to give Do you lie? Oh, let the ashes fly Help me to name it Help me to name it 2. Wild (4:17) My mother said to me That I would get in trouble Our father won't come home 'Cause he is seeing double... Out in the endless green Your eyes are so misleading That's when your car pulls upIts hood is black and gleaming And in a while You start to smile The Earth is wild You've got no time Wild in our ways What we are making Heartless to say: Go on pretending Wild in our ways What we are making Heartless to say: You go, go on pretending... One chance to fall behind The lines that would not let you Can I believe in how The past is what will catch you? And in a while You start to smile The Earth is wild You've got no time Wild in our ways What we are making Heartless to say: Go on pretending Wild in our ways What we are making Heartless to say: We go, go on pretending Wild in our ways Go on pretending 3. Lazuli (9:17) In the blue of this life Where it ends in the night When you couldn't see You would come for me Wonder eyes, motion high And we don't dare slip on by Make us suffer, like no other There's nothing like lapis lazuli Let it go, back to me Like no other you can't be replaced (x7) Like no other you can't be replaced (There's nothing like lapis lazuli) (x6) 4. Other People (14:19) So you thought it would happen Good love, goodbye I know where no one can reach you No, I don't mind, It's your world, why would you fake it? These days go by As you turn around-ow-ow-ow Other people want to keep in touch Something happens and it's not enough Never thought that it would mean so much Other people want to keep in touch Heaven won't keep us together Right place at the wrong time It takes all kinds of weather Distant new skies Somewhere no one can reach us These days go by As you turn around-ow-ow-ow Other people want to keep in touch Something happens and it's not enough Never thought that it would mean so much Other people want to keep in touch Was it ever quite enough? (x5) 5. The Hours (18:44) Can I wait the hours 'Til you find me? Climb up to the tower So that you could see... Violence in the flowers Where they found you Can I wait the hours? Would it be untrue? Climb up to the tower So that you can see All across the hours Frightened eyes Looking back at me Change your mind Don't care about me Frightened eyes Looking back at me Change your mind Don't leave without me Frightened eyes... Made in your reflection So that you could feel Mad in your intentions Fear it isn't real All the recollections Spinning in a field Left in your possession 'Til it isn't real You say, "It isn't real" Frightened eyes Looking back at me Change your mind Don't care about me Frightened eyes Looking back at me Change your mind Don't leave without me Frightened eyes Deeper than you and me It's farther than you could see It's too much to ask? Tell me It's all in a glance, you'll seeIt's deeper than you and me (Now you're gone) It's all in a glance, you'll see (Don't care about me) It's farther than we could be It's deeper than you and me (Don't care about me) Frightened eyes 6. Troublemaker (22:55) Like a hand, you reached out to me The thunder rolls in with the dark Tiny fingers on the edges Watch it unravel, pulling everything apart... In the night, we stay together The walls are shaking in their skin Does it become you, troublemaker? Watch them unravel you, pulling everything apart Someday, out of the blue, it will find you Always, always a face to remind me Someone like you (x3)... You watch the shape these things are taking Do you cry out in your sleep? Does it become you when you're under? Your heart is racing, you're taking everything too hard When you walk away You show me how Come pull me under Someday, out of the blue, it will find you Always, always a face to remind me Someone like you (x3) Someday, out of the blue, it will find you Always, always a face to remind you 7. New Year (27:51) All I wanted comes in colors Vanish everyday I keep these promises, these promises Stranger things will come before you Always out of the way We keep these promises, these promises Can you call it? See it coming? Just enough to tell a story 'bout a Portrait of a young girl waiting For a new year... All you ever wanted Is it getting away? Visions of a feeling The footsteps at bay You were getting stronger Memories again Now you're open wider It's better this way All I wanted comes in colors Vanish everyday I keep these promises, these promises Stranger things will come before you Always out of the way We keep these promises, these promises Won't you write a letter On the page in your own way Write it in a letter On the page, it's your own way... You were getting wiser It's better this way Faces in the mirror Memories again Now look to a feeling It's lighter than breath All you ever wanted Is it getting away? Can you call it? See it coming? Just enough to tell a story 'bout a Portrait of a young girl waiting For the ending of an era Can you call it? See it coming? Just enough to tell a story 'bout a Portrait of a young girl waiting For the new year 8. Wishes (33:17) The roses on the lawn Don't know wich side you're on In a daze, it will change Wishes on a wheel Wishes on a wheel The voices in the hall Will carry on their talking Carry weight you can't take Wishes on a wheelIs it even real? The contact that you make The moment when a memory aches Who can tell? You do it well Wishes on a wheel How's it supposed to feel?... One in your lifeIt happens once and rarely twice One in your lifeIt happens once and rarely twice... The roses on the lawn Won't know which side you're on On that hill, forever still Wishes on a wheel How's it supposed to feel? Wishes on a wheel Wishes on a wheel 9. On the Sea (38:04) Out on the sea we'd be forgiven Our bodies stopped the spirit leaving Wouldn't you like to know how far you've got left to go Somebody's child Nobody made you It's not what you stole, it's what they gave you In or out, you go In your silence, your soul... Would you rather go unwilling? The heart is full and now it's spilling Barreling down the steps Only a moment left In hind of sight no peace of mind Where you begin and I'm defined Daughter of unconscious fate Time will tell, in spite of me In hind of sight no peace of mind Where it begins and we'll be fine Shadows bend and suddenly The world becomes And swallows me in, me in... Whistle to a friend Gentle 'til the end Any way in a name She takes shape just the same 10. Irene (43:37) Though you hardly know her The light's on its way The hand that rests upon it Still wanna stay... No way of recognizing The cat knows the call Fair child is rising There's no mystery at all... It's a strange paradise It's a strange paradise You'll be waiting You'll be waiting... It's a strange paradise (x13) (56:56) The kind you like To come back in Wherever you go No hawk in sight The scenic drive The signs just so The brightened lines Stay by your side Wherever you go The kind you like A comeback kid They told you so Wherever you go No doubt it It's true The light's up Wherever you go No doubt it It's trueThe kind you like No end in sight The rest you know
As a divorced dad, who recently lost his kids and most of life, hearing "New Year" breaks my heart every time, cannot hear that song without crying. So stunningly gorgeous and healing. Hits me so hard in the happies though
@@jonatanrosa8825 Thanks man, you are very kind. I am ok-ish. Things get better. Time heals all kinda thing. I remind myself of some of my favorite stoic quotes, including this one by Aeschylus "He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget, falls drop by drop, into the heart, in our own despair, against our own will, comes wisdom to us, by the awful grace of God." Hearing her sing "I keep these promises... I keep these promises..." is still heartbreaking but it's part of acceptance and healing I suppose. What a gorgeous voice she has and what a melodic turn.
I played this album many times when I was in the university .As a sculpture student, I always worked late at night alone in a studio there. It's like I was in another world. The music was loud but it seemed so quiet at the same time. A loud whisper in the vast space. Sometimes people there came to see me, they mostly loved the music. One time, my friend came in, standing there quietly for a moment and then he asked me " What kind of music is this?". I had no idea what it's called at the time and said "I don't know". He stayed there with me for a while. I really miss that time. (Sorry for my English though :))
Haha! I can imagine you sculpting, the place you're in, the sculpture, your friend, and even the people who dropped by. Such is the power of music. :) Have a great one, mate.
Not sure why it took me so long to discover Bloom & Beach House, I'm just glad that I did! I'm 41 years old & I'm absolutely in love with this album.❤ I've had it on replay daily each morning when I'm putting my makeup on & getting ready to start my day.😊
its very hard to find an album that goes through your whole life. childhood, falling in love, and finding joy. this album fits perfect. thank you beach house, for letting me enjoy my life through earbuds. here's what i recommend for everyone: wait until the sunset and then drive around listening to myth, and I swear it will change your life forever...
@@haleyhudgeons943 It's wild to me this album is what helps me thru break ups. I once dated a girl who's CD player ate cds and this was one of them. It also ate my Cause of Death by Obituary so we wore all those albums out. I'm more into death and thrash metal so at first I always hated Beach House but eventually when we broke up this album began to finally mean something to me its a somber beautiful touching and delicate sound
I most definitely agree. I couldn't have happened to be introduced to them at a more perfect time in my life. I'm loving the sound of this particular moment that is now part of my life's soundtrack. Thank you PBS and it's local affiliate KCPT. They give an outlet for pure,feeling filled knowledge that is music and so much more. 528💕🎹🎼
This, for me, will always be their best album. It's an absolute hit from beginning to the very end... So balanced and cohesive, and so emotional. It truly is a masterpiece.
This is truly their greatest album..the groove and melancholic vibe strikes an impeccable balance...their other albums are too depressing to be heard all the time during the day...anyways taste in music is optional and self-opinionated...
I just discovered Beach House and I am in love. I grew up in the 70’s and music during your teens has such a lasting impression. This one is hitting me in my early 60’s. ❤️ Love!
I'm a spring chicken compared to ya'll at only 47 trips around the big fiery ball. Maybe we should start a senior's division of the BHFC. We could call it the Retired Old Geezers' Beach House. Or Over the Hill at the Beach House. LOL
on the sea is my favorite song from beach house. it makes me cry every time. gosh just the most beautiful piano melody and then into that sweet sweet guitar. its perfection
I think it might be the key, too. I have a color-shape associations for the notes, and this song in E-flat major. I see the E note as Golden Yellow (and shape of a trapezoid!) I talk about Beach House on my channel too. - _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole_
"Myth" Drifting in and out You see the road you're on It came rolling down your cheek You say just what you mean And in between it's never as it seems Help me to name it Help me to name it If you built yourself a myth You'd know just what to give What comes after this Momentary bliss The consequence of what you do to me Help me to name it Help me to name it Found yourself in a new direction Arrows falling from the sun Canyon calling would they come to greet you Let you know you're not the only one Can't keep hanging on To what is dead and gone If you built yourself a myth You'd know just what to give Materialize Or let the ashes fly Help me to name it Help me to name it
I started listening to BH before I graduated high school in 2013. It's been 5 years and this album has been with me through depression, suicidal thoughts, breakups and graduations. I'm going to get a tattoo of the cover art on my arm. I thought my ex was my rock... but people come and go. Music stays with you forever. Reading through the comments here, it warms my heart to see how this music has helped other people too. Listening to this in different stages in my life- I pick up on the ecstasy and the sadness. It's fantastic. What's great is that it continues to unveil something new to me as I go through life- which is something I haven't discovered in any other album. I really thank God for Victoria and Alex- they feel like older siblings to me. thank you thank you thank you. They're so vulnerable- it's beautiful.
Nick | NCK Is it really? Are you frequently dishonest and qualify your statements with honestly to set them apart from the ones where you're lying your ass off? JUST FUCKIN WITH YA!
I know it sounds odd. I sit down with a cup of coffee, read the walking dead (graphic novel) and play this album. Something about it's dreamy, depressive yet engrossingly joyful tone lends itself to the theme. I stumbled upon Beach House when hearing "hours" played at a coffee house. Asked the dude who it was "ah man it's a band called Beach house. Check em out". So glad I did. Beach house takes me places I want to go. Like a dream you want to dream over and over. Set's me at ease. I don't know how they do it.
I do something very similar. Last year I flew to the coffee growing region of Puerto Rico and acquired some land there. I planted many beans,many magic beans. I listen to Beach House from my house as I look at the beach and fight saintly coffee boring beetles with my hands.I have named them all Sebastian and have legally changed my name to Diocletian. Living on top of a giant black bull and drinking my labor one mug at a time. The cloud forest flies over my head. My coffee cups send their aroma around the globe. The smell went so far east it became west.A beautiful woman from Shangai was awakened by the smell of my brew. She came to my cloud forest with her special shoes. I am now making a graphic novel about my adventures with the beans and beetles and my Chinese Macushla and Beach House is on infinite repeat.
One of the best albums I've ever heard. I've been playing this on repeat for years and never get bored of it. It just has a certain element of replayability to it, each time it feels like a different song
This album and band goes so well with my anxiety and depression, extreme isolation and struggles with addiction, love lost and loneliness. The building blocks of my life now
Many people I tell abt these bast band going but cos called depression cherry they think it's morbid but I disagree it's made me happy n takes me to another place special when in bed with a fat joint takes me away simple best band going keep it on beach house
I too have battles with adiciction but it's only temp u can change u have people family who care but cos us adictics think we're r on r own but we not if just reach out u r loved by more then u think chin up x
I am a raging crack addict for almost 20 yrs, 9 rehabs over 12 years all over the US. I have lost so much, and am able now to maintain my habit 24/7 through a genius form of fraud currently. Anyway, I am able to appreciate the references to loss of time and family due to choices that only I can change; but I am powerless to change them. Powerful music; I have loving family and 2 are dying/tx for cancer, and I am hiding out in south florida w my dogs and 300/day crack habit. But I don't want to have to live without this feeling or utter relief that it gives me. Tragic, chronically.
Best album of the 2010s. Nothing else moves me like this. What a feeling. Soaring, swoonsome, melancholy, gorgeous. Sublime. Can return to it every every few months or more and it still holds suprises. Still as fresh as ever TBH. Amazing. I love it. Nothing like this
This is the kind of music you have been searching without conciously knowing and when you find it you feel complete for the time lasting. Great stuff! Immidiately bought the album after hearing this!
Dear BEACH HOUSE, I've only known of you for one week. But it has been one for the books. A very good book. Thank you! *puts headphones back on and let's the music wash over her*
is sugarlights legit your last name? that is one for a book, get it? because ive never heard a last name like that so id write it down, also, you said something about books in a similar context, aaaanyways. cool last name, and also, beach house appreciates that in some other reality i am sure they saw this, just reminding you, yknow. well, its late, SUGARLIGHTS OUUUUT
+kobron1559 I apologise for such a late responce, as I've only just found the time to truly give it a listen. Thank you. You were right. It's wonderful. And because you suggested I give it a listen, it is now on my play list of "Gifted Songs". And they make the best gifts! I hope this finds you well. And thanks again. ✌💚
Going to totally brag right now but... the other night my wife and I were having date night at home (quarantining) and we had stars projected on the ceiling and a candle lit dinner and this album playing. When I went upstairs to check up on our 9 year old son, he was still awake. I asked him why he was still awake. He said "because that music is so beautiful I didn't want to fall asleep and miss it." I felt so proud of the little music appreciator that we have created.
From start to finish this is one of the most beautiful, heartbreaking, and sonically blissful albums I've heard. I feel like I go through the 5 stages of grief every time I listen to it.
So there I was with my 3yr. old daughter, who I hadn't seen for months, during a supervised visit at McDonald's, then Beach House plays. I will never forget that moment for some reason.. It gave me hope and a silver lining amongst a very dark cloud in my life.
All of 24 seconds in and I'm already in love with this band? Where have they been my entire life? Why am I just now listening to them? Thanks 100% for existing.
I will forever be obsessed with Beach House . Their songs remind me of a feeling I once had when I was younger and happier . I just simply cannot explain it
I've listened to this three times today.. The first time I cried the entire time, the second and third time I sang from the top of my lungs and from the bottom of my heart.
I currently am in high school and in a couple of days I will hopefully graduate. This past month has been very rough for me, because studying so hard when you're enduring a heavy chronic illness at the same time is particularly difficult, at least for me. This album has been keeping me company since then. I've always deeply loved Beach House, but I think that even in 10 years, if I still am living in this earth, I will remember listening to this incredible album, along with some others, for entire nights while studying for the exams that would officially determine the end of my teenagehood, although I've lost it a long time ago. I am so thankful for these amazing artists gifting us their mesmerizing art, I feel calmer when listening to them, so calm that I almost forget about my chronic pain. They truly are special.
Helped put my sister's dog down tonight. Had "on the sea" playing on the headphones on the drive home and all I could think about , was how she looked thinking she was just in for a routine checkup. She wanted to go home, but she had a stroke and tumors were starting to show on the side of her belly. I acted I wasn't going to cry, but now this song will always remind me of that moment. Although she wasn't my dog, I was very close to her and often watched her like my own. Love your furries and cherish what little time you have with them. 🥺😢
I took a road trip with some friends in Australia on the Great Ocean Road. It was rainy and foggy but it was still the best road trip I have ever taken. During that time, I kept thinking of the song Myth. Now every time I hear the song, I think of the road trip.
Zak Taylor Yea... I mostly listen to hip hop as a matter a fact I found this duo from a hip hop song (Kendrick Lamar-Money Trees) that sampled Beach House - Silver Soul
Man that's cool, we don't care if you're late. I feel like discovering music is all about a timeline. It isn't, it is about finding a song or a band and then losing yourself in its midst
I recently got to hang with my cousin for the first time in ten plus years. We both are adults now and it’s almost like we forgot how close we were when we were young. She was one of my closest friends. We were at a wedding and decided to dip off and smoke a joint on a paddle boat. She whipped out a fatty and we floated while listening to this whole album while we caught up with each other. I love who she’s become and I now love Beach House.
Wherever you go is so underrated, one of my favorites of this record, it is as if Beach house gave you a warm hug after being there with them during a long long cry and sharing meditated thoughts.
Unlike anything else. A vivid, lucid, poignant dream come true. True love, and the feelings that are somehow unattainable on this Earth, but exist fully in this captured hour.
Whenever I need a moment to myself and I feel overwhelmed, I just come back to this album and play it through. Beach House is sometimes all you need, and I need it now more than ever.
i know that nobody is going to see this but im listening to this album while writing my letters and it makes me feel like everything might turn out okay after all
Teen Dream: The beautiful grasslands whilst horses leap by the hills where fountains of pools subside Devotion: A lonesome couple trying to keep it together in a summer home stranded; for a gunman is on the lookout to kill them both as soon as they forgive each other Bloom: An hour long slow dance in the dark Depression Cherry: dreaming of the perfect heart while bathing in your lover's blood; listening to ABBA Thank Your Lucky Stars: a clock stuck on 3:30, a soup is in grayscale, eyes turned away to make way for this...
this one is a 10, teen dream is a 9.9, depression cherry a 9.8. And that's just a matter of preference, i just happen to come back to this one slightly more. They're all so damn good
This album speaks to me. At a time when I was moving away from home, and being driven toward discovering myself and embracing the fears ahead of me, this album was my comfort. Each song would hit me in a visceral way, often bringing me to tears. I'm incredibly grateful for this music and this band, and hope that one day I can really express to them what they have done for me. The lessons that lie within these verses have changed my life for the better, and helped me touch something inside that I was /so/ afraid of even considering. Just like an amazing piece of art that moves you to change your life, they have impacted my life in a way that I can never forget. Thank you, Beach House, and thank you to those listening. Without you, their music would fall on deft ears.
How these two come up with all this melody - all these lyrics - the sentiment - the grandiose - and the truly ethereal - is proof of the potential of our human spirit when we love what it is we are doing . . .
I am currently falling in love with someone who showed me this album and it's something that I cannot control. The thoughts that run when I hear this are of her, always.
"On The Sea" Out on the sea we’d be forgiven Our bodies stopped the spirit living Wouldn’t you like to know how far you’ve got left to go Somebody’s child nobody made you It’s not what you stole it's what they gave you In or out you go In your silence your soul Would you rather go unwilling Your heart is full and now it's spilling Barreling down the steps Only a moment left In hind of sight no peace of mind Where you begin and I’m defined Daughter of unconscious fate Time will tell in spite of me In hind of sight no peace of mind Where it begins and we're defined Shadows bend and suddenly The world becomes and swallows me in Whistle to a friend gentle till the end Anyway in a name she takes shape just the same
Anyone else miss those hidden tracks at the end of albums? I had this in the background and was pleasantly surprised at 56:56 when they came back. Streaming has made me move more towards playlists and individual songs from artists - still cool in itself, but we miss out on these moments when we let the album just ride us through time and surprise us like that
Just discovered Beach House in October 2021 after my mom died, and although I am more of a UK oriented rocker, I absolutely love nearly ALL BH songs. Each song has its own unique aspects, but overall BH is the BEST MUSIC I HAVE HEARD IN MY LIFE, except for maybe the Beatles. Their songs and sound (Victoria LeGrand & Alex Scally are amazing!!) are beautiful, calming, mostly happy and uplifting, transformative, inspirational and the lyrics are fantastic! I can't believe I didn't know about this wonderful group, that is currently touring. Definitely going to at least one show, if not more!! This is the new soundtrack to my better life! Love these truly amazing musical creations. Wow!!
The drumbeat in "Wild" was made with a Casiotone CT-360 from 1987. I accidentally found it while messing around with this really cheap vintage keyboard that I bought for almost nothing.
OMG, this is crazy that you mention this. I actually OWN the organ that she uses in her performances. (I can't remember the name of It, bit it white and starts with an O. It's not the Yamaha Motif, but she plays that one as well). Thanks for the info about the Casiotone! You may want to check out my note-to-color music theory and my Theory of Pitch Psychology. I use a lot of Beach House songs as examples why songwriters and composers choose specific keys for different emotive effects! Your Acoustic Rabbit Hole
I've been suffering my entire life. Listening to this makes me feel like someone else is out there. Knowing exactly what I'm going through. Maybe that gives my life slightly more purpose than before. Life is to short. Do your best to bring positivity to this world.
I would go as far as to say that Beach House "Bloom" album is the best album of all time, it is as close to heavenly as one can get, unlike anything I heard before. They deserve the highest compliments one can give. this is just my humble two cents on this.
+maxim maximov best album of all time? what about albums that come out in the future? surely you haven't heard them yet, so how can we know if this album is better?
Nope, it's nowhere near the best album of all time...but the BH sacred trilogy are: 'Teen Dream'', ''Bloom'' and ''7''. Depression Cherry is very close to them!
This is one of those golden albums that comes once a generation, written from the heart, written for those who know their order of civilization is ending, for those who were meant for better, but are caught in the jaws of its inexorable decline.
@@pingpongpaddlehead bro who tf is sophia and whats her favorite color like i cut myself off from relationships but now im ready to get my heart blasted into pieces again
When I first heard about Beach House, I was turned off by the name... then I discovered Bloom, and it had a huge impact on my life! A lesson I will never forget.
What a voice. Each song that starts, I think, 'oh, I think this is getting samey' - but then the song and arrangement goes to a different place entirely. And Victoria's delivery is absolutely fascinating and keeps you gripped from the first word to the last. There is no singer like her, the harmonies they achieve together are unique, and each album they produce is a quantum leap from the last - unbelievable. Since I discovered Beach House, I barely listen to other music - I'm really worried about what will happen when I'm finally played out!
This sound made me feel weird... I've watched old pictures and the combination made my heart sink and I felt dizzy .... Like im missing something. Missing hard.
We are all missing parts from the day we were born, it's why we are drawn together. We all spend so much time trying to fill them, and it almost never works, and if it does it's so so transient. Sometimes you look back and realize there was a time it was being filled and you didn't even know it, and now it's gone. Maybe someday, some of us will learn to grow those parts back before we die.
"Lazuli" In the blue Of this life Where it ends In the night When you couldn't see You would come for me Wonder eyes Motion high And we don't dare Slip on by Make us suffer Like no other Is nothing like lapis lazuli Let it go back to me Like no other You can't be replaced
god i love it when i find new artists to love. started from On the Sea and Space Song from the two really separate occasions of playing whatever autoplay brought me, and now beach house is my best friend
In 2012 when this album came out, I moved to London which was at that time a completely new city to me and it became the soundtrack of my first years when I was discovering the city and myself ,in the little time left over while working almost 7/24 in architecture...
My fiance showed me this album when we first started dating and he was so happy to finally find someone else who liked beach house as much as he did, he showed me new songs almost everytime we saw one another, he said bloom was his favorite album that it spoke to him make him feel at peace. He had passed away not too long ago and though this makes me cry listening to it now, it takes me back to those times of him and I young and in love listening to this driving down the highways. Thank you
❤❤❤
Sounded like a cool guy, RIP :(
Very sorry for you loss.
Each time the next song plays, I always think 'Oh yeah, THIS is the best song on the album'. Then the next song plays and I think the same thing again.
awesome!
Sign of a great album
So if you put it on loop it will keep getting better and better!
agreed
agreed
I'll never forget the first time I heard Beach House, pure magic.
space song ....
Majorette got me then the rest sucked me in.
Damnit.
@@TechnicalDribbler
Space song was the song that got into beach house and candy claws.
For me it was ‘Zebra’ after that I was addicted!
i love troublemaker ):
1. Myth (0:00)
Drifting in and out
See the road you're on
You came rolling down the cheek
You say just what you need
And in between
It's never as it seems
Help me to name it
Help me to name it
If you built yourself a myth
You'd know just what to give
What comes after this
Momentary bliss
The consequence
Of what you do to me
Help me to name it
Help me to name it
Found yourself in a new direction
Arrows falling from the sun
Can you come?
Would they come to breach you?
Let you know you're not the only one...
You can't keep hangin' on
To all that's dead and gone
If you built yourself a myth
You'd know just what to give
Do you lie?
Oh, let the ashes fly
Help me to name it
Help me to name it
2. Wild (4:17)
My mother said to me
That I would get in trouble
Our father won't come home
'Cause he is seeing double...
Out in the endless green
Your eyes are so misleading
That's when your car pulls upIts hood is black and gleaming
And in a while
You start to smile
The Earth is wild
You've got no time
Wild in our ways
What we are making
Heartless to say:
Go on pretending
Wild in our ways
What we are making
Heartless to say:
You go, go on pretending...
One chance to fall behind
The lines that would not let you
Can I believe in how
The past is what will catch you?
And in a while
You start to smile
The Earth is wild
You've got no time
Wild in our ways
What we are making
Heartless to say:
Go on pretending
Wild in our ways
What we are making
Heartless to say:
We go, go on pretending
Wild in our ways
Go on pretending
3. Lazuli (9:17)
In the blue of this life
Where it ends in the night
When you couldn't see
You would come for me
Wonder eyes, motion high
And we don't dare slip on by
Make us suffer, like no other
There's nothing like lapis lazuli
Let it go, back to me
Like no other you can't be replaced (x7)
Like no other you can't be replaced (There's nothing like lapis lazuli) (x6)
4. Other People (14:19)
So you thought it would happen
Good love, goodbye
I know where no one can reach you
No, I don't mind, It's your world, why would you fake it?
These days go by
As you turn around-ow-ow-ow
Other people want to keep in touch
Something happens and it's not enough
Never thought that it would mean so much
Other people want to keep in touch
Heaven won't keep us together
Right place at the wrong time
It takes all kinds of weather
Distant new skies
Somewhere no one can reach us
These days go by
As you turn around-ow-ow-ow
Other people want to keep in touch
Something happens and it's not enough
Never thought that it would mean so much
Other people want to keep in touch
Was it ever quite enough? (x5)
5. The Hours (18:44)
Can I wait the hours
'Til you find me?
Climb up to the tower
So that you could see...
Violence in the flowers
Where they found you
Can I wait the hours?
Would it be untrue?
Climb up to the tower
So that you can see
All across the hours
Frightened eyes
Looking back at me
Change your mind
Don't care about me
Frightened eyes
Looking back at me
Change your mind
Don't leave without me
Frightened eyes...
Made in your reflection
So that you could feel
Mad in your intentions
Fear it isn't real
All the recollections
Spinning in a field
Left in your possession
'Til it isn't real
You say, "It isn't real"
Frightened eyes
Looking back at me
Change your mind
Don't care about me
Frightened eyes
Looking back at me
Change your mind
Don't leave without me
Frightened eyes
Deeper than you and me
It's farther than you could see
It's too much to ask? Tell me
It's all in a glance, you'll seeIt's deeper than you and me (Now you're gone)
It's all in a glance, you'll see (Don't care about me)
It's farther than we could be
It's deeper than you and me (Don't care about me)
Frightened eyes
6. Troublemaker (22:55)
Like a hand, you reached out to me
The thunder rolls in with the dark
Tiny fingers on the edges
Watch it unravel, pulling everything apart...
In the night, we stay together
The walls are shaking in their skin
Does it become you, troublemaker?
Watch them unravel you, pulling everything apart
Someday, out of the blue, it will find you
Always, always a face to remind me
Someone like you (x3)...
You watch the shape these things are taking
Do you cry out in your sleep?
Does it become you when you're under?
Your heart is racing, you're taking everything too hard
When you walk away
You show me how
Come pull me under
Someday, out of the blue, it will find you
Always, always a face to remind me
Someone like you (x3)
Someday, out of the blue, it will find you
Always, always a face to remind you
7. New Year (27:51)
All I wanted comes in colors
Vanish everyday
I keep these promises, these promises
Stranger things will come before you
Always out of the way
We keep these promises, these promises
Can you call it? See it coming?
Just enough to tell a story 'bout a
Portrait of a young girl waiting
For a new year...
All you ever wanted
Is it getting away?
Visions of a feeling
The footsteps at bay
You were getting stronger
Memories again
Now you're open wider
It's better this way
All I wanted comes in colors
Vanish everyday
I keep these promises, these promises
Stranger things will come before you
Always out of the way
We keep these promises, these promises
Won't you write a letter
On the page in your own way
Write it in a letter
On the page, it's your own way...
You were getting wiser
It's better this way
Faces in the mirror
Memories again
Now look to a feeling
It's lighter than breath
All you ever wanted
Is it getting away? Can you call it? See it coming?
Just enough to tell a story 'bout a
Portrait of a young girl waiting
For the ending of an era
Can you call it? See it coming?
Just enough to tell a story 'bout a
Portrait of a young girl waiting
For the new year
8. Wishes (33:17)
The roses on the lawn
Don't know wich side you're on
In a daze, it will change
Wishes on a wheel
Wishes on a wheel
The voices in the hall
Will carry on their talking
Carry weight you can't take
Wishes on a wheelIs it even real?
The contact that you make
The moment when a memory aches
Who can tell?
You do it well
Wishes on a wheel
How's it supposed to feel?...
One in your lifeIt happens once and rarely twice
One in your lifeIt happens once and rarely twice...
The roses on the lawn
Won't know which side you're on
On that hill, forever still
Wishes on a wheel
How's it supposed to feel?
Wishes on a wheel

9. On the Sea (38:04)
Out on the sea we'd be forgiven
Our bodies stopped the spirit leaving
Wouldn't you like to know how far you've got left to go
Somebody's child
Nobody made you
It's not what you stole, it's what they gave you
In or out, you go
In your silence, your soul...
Would you rather go unwilling?
The heart is full and now it's spilling
Barreling down the steps
Only a moment left
In hind of sight no peace of mind
Where you begin and I'm defined
Daughter of unconscious fate
Time will tell, in spite of me
In hind of sight no peace of mind
Where it begins and we'll be fine
Shadows bend and suddenly
The world becomes
And swallows me in, me in...
Whistle to a friend
Gentle 'til the end
Any way in a name
She takes shape just the same
10. Irene (43:37)
Though you hardly know her
The light's on its way
The hand that rests upon it
Still wanna stay...
No way of recognizing
The cat knows the call
Fair child is rising
There's no mystery at all...
It's a strange paradise
It's a strange paradise
You'll be waiting
You'll be waiting...
It's a strange paradise (x13)
(56:56)
The kind you like
To come back in
Wherever you go
No hawk in sight
The scenic drive
The signs just so
The brightened lines
Stay by your side
Wherever you go
The kind you like
A comeback kid
They told you so
Wherever you go
No doubt it
It's true
The light's up
Wherever you go
No doubt it
It's trueThe kind you like
No end in sight
The rest you know

Sub Pop Thanks - I'm going to buy this album from you guys because you've made it available here for me to listen at work ;)
+Sub Pop Bonus track starts at 56:54 (y)
+Chris Dighton They're demo's aren't they?
+TheEthos possibly, I just wanted to put the start time as a comment so I didn't have to keep scrolling to find the time at which it started!
+TheEthos Nope
As a divorced dad, who recently lost his kids and most of life, hearing "New Year" breaks my heart every time, cannot hear that song without crying. So stunningly gorgeous and healing. Hits me so hard in the happies though
yo man, if you wanna talk or something, tell me your facebook i'll add u, we can talk
@@jonatanrosa8825 Thanks man, you are very kind. I am ok-ish. Things get better. Time heals all kinda thing. I remind myself of some of my favorite stoic quotes, including this one by Aeschylus "He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget, falls drop by drop, into the heart, in our own despair, against our own will, comes wisdom to us, by the awful grace of God."
Hearing her sing "I keep these promises... I keep these promises..." is still heartbreaking but it's part of acceptance and healing I suppose. What a gorgeous voice she has and what a melodic turn.
@@stephanemalhomme Your choice bro. Good luck!
@@jonatanrosa8825 Just came here to say that what you did was an amazing gesture and it can save lives
I played this album many times when I was in the university .As a sculpture student, I always worked late at night alone in a studio there. It's like I was in another world. The music was loud but it seemed so quiet at the same time. A loud whisper in the vast space. Sometimes people there came to see me, they mostly loved the music. One time, my friend came in, standing there quietly for a moment and then he asked me " What kind of music is this?". I had no idea what it's called at the time and said "I don't know". He stayed there with me for a while. I really miss that time. (Sorry for my English though :))
This is beautiful, thanks for sharing
Same, my friend showed me these peoples while we were in art school which was lost all to nostalgia and album art was from a familiar.
Hi (sorry for my English)
wow that is awesome, it brought such a vivid image to mind!
Haha! I can imagine you sculpting, the place you're in, the sculpture, your friend, and even the people who dropped by. Such is the power of music. :) Have a great one, mate.
Not sure why it took me so long to discover Bloom & Beach House, I'm just glad that I did! I'm 41 years old & I'm absolutely in love with this album.❤ I've had it on replay daily each morning when I'm putting my makeup on & getting ready to start my day.😊
its very hard to find an album that goes through your whole life. childhood, falling in love, and finding joy. this album fits perfect. thank you beach house, for letting me enjoy my life through earbuds. here's what i recommend for everyone: wait until the sunset and then drive around listening to myth, and I swear it will change your life forever...
haley hudgeons the fact that you listen to FATM too makes you even more perfect
holy shit... 3 years ago i wrote that. still mean it. beach house is truly a gift
@@haleyhudgeons943 It's wild to me this album is what helps me thru break ups. I once dated a girl who's CD player ate cds and this was one of them. It also ate my Cause of Death by Obituary so we wore all those albums out. I'm more into death and thrash metal so at first I always hated Beach House but eventually when we broke up this album began to finally mean something to me its a somber beautiful touching and delicate sound
@@haleyhudgeons943 keep posing poser! Sappy ass post.
This vibe is giving when you are uncertain of something you know is yet to happen. But you accept the fate.
beach house is what I unknowingly been looking for all this time. oh my god, thank you for exsisting
The dreaminess to the sound is so pure and awesome right lol
Also check out Youth Lagoon in case you haven't.
Check out Wild Nothing-Nocturne
cannot wait the hours/
till you find me/
I most definitely agree. I couldn't have happened to be introduced to them at a more perfect time in my life.
I'm loving the sound of this particular moment that is now part of my life's soundtrack.
Thank you PBS and it's local affiliate KCPT. They give an outlet for pure,feeling filled knowledge that is music and so much more.
528💕🎹🎼
This, for me, will always be their best album. It's an absolute hit from beginning to the very end... So balanced and cohesive, and so emotional. It truly is a masterpiece.
100% agree
+Dylan Kurzawa Agreed.
+Dylan Kurzawa I think Teen Dream and Devotion are even better, but this one is great too.
This is truly their greatest album..the groove and melancholic vibe strikes an impeccable balance...their other albums are too depressing to be heard all the time during the day...anyways taste in music is optional and self-opinionated...
Blablablabla
I just discovered Beach House and I am in love. I grew up in the 70’s and music during your teens has such a lasting impression. This one is hitting me in my early 60’s. ❤️
Love!
Ditto.. Yes - ‘Turn of the Century’ and ‘Soon’, timeless, beautiful.
Nice comment
I'm a spring chicken compared to ya'll at only 47 trips around the big fiery ball. Maybe we should start a senior's division of the BHFC. We could call it the Retired Old Geezers' Beach House. Or Over the Hill at the Beach House. LOL
all their songs sound so similar without sounding the same
Adam Krestan That is so true
There sound is so nostalgic xx
Its a vibe
It's a *Beach House*
congrats you understand the concept of an "album"
myth is such a beautiful track to open an album
i'm convinced that ''on the sea'' has magical properties
Couldn't put it any other way...
on the sea is my favorite song from beach house. it makes me cry every time. gosh just the most beautiful piano melody and then into that sweet sweet guitar. its perfection
I think it might be the key, too. I have a color-shape associations for the notes, and this song in E-flat major. I see the E note as Golden Yellow (and shape of a trapezoid!) I talk about Beach House on my channel too.
- _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole_
Listened at Venice pier in LA yes it is so magical ✨
if you call death magical
Myth is absolutely arresting. The whole album glides from the heights the opener propels it to.
Well put
Nice description
It helps that every song on the album is an absolute banger
Lazuli is great too
"Myth"
Drifting in and out
You see the road you're on
It came rolling down your cheek
You say just what you mean
And in between it's never as it seems
Help me to name it
Help me to name it
If you built yourself a myth
You'd know just what to give
What comes after this
Momentary bliss
The consequence of what you do to me
Help me to name it
Help me to name it
Found yourself in a new direction
Arrows falling from the sun
Canyon calling would they come to greet you
Let you know you're not the only one
Can't keep hanging on
To what is dead and gone
If you built yourself a myth
You'd know just what to give
Materialize
Or let the ashes fly
Help me to name it
Help me to name it
Myth is such an emotional masterpiece. Takes me to a place no other song has...
+BlizremeMusic I actually think Wild is even better:)
+BlizremeMusic You listen to some Cocteau twins or even This mortal coil and this formula is pretty much on display therein
Gil Saraiva I'll check them out! Thanks for the suggestions.
You're both right... good job internet.
BlizremeMusic Myth sure does get me when I need a burst of sublime feels to remind myself how and why I'm not like the others.
New Years Eve, 2019, and Myth is still my favorite song ever.......
I started listening to BH before I graduated high school in 2013. It's been 5 years and this album has been with me through depression, suicidal thoughts, breakups and graduations. I'm going to get a tattoo of the cover art on my arm. I thought my ex was my rock... but people come and go. Music stays with you forever. Reading through the comments here, it warms my heart to see how this music has helped other people too. Listening to this in different stages in my life- I pick up on the ecstasy and the sadness. It's fantastic. What's great is that it continues to unveil something new to me as I go through life- which is something I haven't discovered in any other album. I really thank God for Victoria and Alex- they feel like older siblings to me. thank you thank you thank you. They're so vulnerable- it's beautiful.
We're brothers then
Beautiful
So great!
First song I heard of beach house was Myth. What an opening to a musical relationship
Man, this album is impossibly good.
Wild Nothing-Nocturne
Depression cherry is a good album too.
This is honestly one of my favorite albums. I listen to this from start to finish as often as possible.
Nick | NCK Is it really? Are you frequently dishonest and qualify your statements with honestly to set them apart from the ones where you're lying your ass off? JUST FUCKIN WITH YA!
+Nick | NCK Excellent recommendation Mr. Brule
+mummyjohn For your health!
+Nick | NCK breach house is for hunks ya dingus
@Nick me too. I can easily go through this album and go back for more
My god... On the Sea is heartbreakingly beautiful.
Darth Revan oh yes it is )-,:
i cried the first time I heard it on headphones :')
The sea broke my heart ♥ too, her beauty is enormous.
Still applies!
It is my favourite song by beach house, by far!
Just beautiful.
one of the few bands that can create perfection
I know it sounds odd. I sit down with a cup of coffee, read the walking dead (graphic novel) and play this album. Something about it's dreamy, depressive yet engrossingly joyful tone lends itself to the theme. I stumbled upon Beach House when hearing "hours" played at a coffee house. Asked the dude who it was "ah man it's a band called Beach house. Check em out". So glad I did. Beach house takes me places I want to go. Like a dream you want to dream over and over. Set's me at ease. I don't know how they do it.
Autry Welch agree.
I do something very similar. Last year I flew to the coffee growing region of Puerto Rico and acquired some land there. I planted many beans,many magic beans. I listen to Beach House from my house as I look at the beach and fight saintly coffee boring beetles with my hands.I have named them all Sebastian and have legally changed my name to Diocletian. Living on top of a giant black bull and drinking my labor one mug at a time. The cloud forest flies over my head. My coffee cups send their aroma around the globe. The smell went so far east it became west.A beautiful woman from Shangai was awakened by the smell of my brew. She came to my cloud forest with her special shoes. I am now making a graphic novel about my adventures with the beans and beetles and my Chinese Macushla and Beach House is on infinite repeat.
Autry Welch agree
Autry Welch its God gives...no dought on this!!
@@icelandmoon - Put the pipe down.
One of the best albums I've ever heard. I've been playing this on repeat for years and never get bored of it. It just has a certain element of replayability to it, each time it feels like a different song
This album and band goes so well with my anxiety and depression, extreme isolation and struggles with addiction, love lost and loneliness. The building blocks of my life now
Many people I tell abt these bast band going but cos called depression cherry they think it's morbid but I disagree it's made me happy n takes me to another place special when in bed with a fat joint takes me away simple best band going keep it on beach house
I too have battles with adiciction but it's only temp u can change u have people family who care but cos us adictics think we're r on r own but we not if just reach out u r loved by more then u think chin up x
I am a raging crack addict for almost 20 yrs, 9 rehabs over 12 years all over the US. I have lost so much, and am able now to maintain my habit 24/7 through a genius form of fraud currently. Anyway, I am able to appreciate the references to loss of time and family due to choices that only I can change; but I am powerless to change them. Powerful music; I have loving family and 2 are dying/tx for cancer, and I am hiding out in south florida w my dogs and 300/day crack habit. But I don't want to have to live without this feeling or utter relief that it gives me. Tragic, chronically.
12 years later and this is still one of the greatest albums of all time, an instant classic.
Completely agree.
This album is perfection.
+Vamika Sinha look who I came across ;)
baeeee
😉😉❤
the way Lazuli changes up around the 12 minute mark, gets me every damn time
I'm on an existential crisis, and this is amazingly cathartic
Bullshit
I’m also having some sort of crisis, but my vocabulary isn’t as large or complex so it’s probably not as impressive.
Bold coming from someone with a Lapis user pic
I hope with all hope & truth that it has worked out well for you. Because I know precisely what you mean.
Bottom line: survive & flourish.
❤🧙♂️🕴🚶♂️
Trying to find a track to skip to get to the good stuff. Can't. It's all good. Great, in fact. What a beautifully haunting masterpiece.
Sandpaper Snail well said
Best album of the 2010s. Nothing else moves me like this. What a feeling. Soaring, swoonsome, melancholy, gorgeous. Sublime. Can return to it every every few months or more and it still holds suprises. Still as fresh as ever TBH. Amazing. I love it. Nothing like this
This is the kind of music you have been searching without conciously knowing and when you find it you feel complete for the time lasting. Great stuff! Immidiately bought the album after hearing this!
I have literally replayed Wishes about 30 times now. It's such a perfect song
Love the intro but the next blows me into smithereen and the next and so on..
Dear BEACH HOUSE,
I've only known of you for one week. But it has been one for the books. A very good book.
Thank you!
*puts headphones back on and let's the music wash over her*
is sugarlights legit your last name? that is one for a book, get it? because ive never heard a last name like that so id write it down, also, you said something about books in a similar context, aaaanyways. cool last name, and also, beach house appreciates that in some other reality i am sure they saw this, just reminding you, yknow. well, its late, SUGARLIGHTS OUUUUT
+RyanBradley I like words. Er go; books,conversation, ...music. And thank you for the advice. It is written down. 😘😎✌💚
+Oriana Sugarlights listen to Wild Nothing- Nocturne. It will change your life guaranteed
+kobron1559 I apologise for such a late responce, as I've only just found the time to truly give it a listen.
Thank you.
You were right. It's wonderful.
And because you suggested I give it a listen, it is now on my play list of "Gifted Songs". And they make the best gifts!
I hope this finds you well. And thanks again.
✌💚
Oriana Sugarlights Check out "Crushed" by Cocteau Twins and "Avalyn 1" by Slowdive as well. 😎
Going to totally brag right now but...
the other night my wife and I were having date night at home (quarantining) and we had stars projected on the ceiling and a candle lit dinner and this album playing. When I went upstairs to check up on our 9 year old son, he was still awake. I asked him why he was still awake. He said "because that music is so beautiful I didn't want to fall asleep and miss it." I felt so proud of the little music appreciator that we have created.
Good parenting :)
thats' so adorable!!
From start to finish this is one of the most beautiful, heartbreaking, and sonically blissful albums I've heard. I feel like I go through the 5 stages of grief every time I listen to it.
Wild Nothing- Nocturne
I can't get tired of this album or band.
“Wild” is so underrated
Maybe I'm strange, but I don't see how this isn't one of the highest rated albums ever. It's so pretty to me. Every song is a highlight
So there I was with my 3yr. old daughter, who I hadn't seen for months, during a supervised visit at McDonald's, then Beach House plays. I will never forget that moment for some reason.. It gave me hope and a silver lining amongst a very dark cloud in my life.
This is the kind of bands that came to the world to save the music!!!
All of 24 seconds in and I'm already in love with this band? Where have they been my entire life? Why am I just now listening to them? Thanks 100% for existing.
I will forever be obsessed with Beach House . Their songs remind me of a feeling I once had when I was younger and happier . I just simply cannot explain it
'Wild' is perfect. Has the best beat Beach House have ever made; Victoria's vocals are amazing.
As a composer, "Myth" inspired quite a few of my compositions. This album IMO is their best work and I continue to listen to it daily :)
I've listened to this three times today.. The first time I cried the entire time, the second and third time I sang from the top of my lungs and from the bottom of my heart.
fica bem, querida
every day
It's so dreamy isn't it?
so dreamy
as fuck.
Yesss
+Brian Smith The female member of the band HATES her music being called dreamy. She's a special snowflake and expects more from you.
Omegawerewolfx I know nothing about the band. Is she a primadonna?
I currently am in high school and in a couple of days I will hopefully graduate. This past month has been very rough for me, because studying so hard when you're enduring a heavy chronic illness at the same time is particularly difficult, at least for me. This album has been keeping me company since then. I've always deeply loved Beach House, but I think that even in 10 years, if I still am living in this earth, I will remember listening to this incredible album, along with some others, for entire nights while studying for the exams that would officially determine the end of my teenagehood, although I've lost it a long time ago. I am so thankful for these amazing artists gifting us their mesmerizing art, I feel calmer when listening to them, so calm that I almost forget about my chronic pain. They truly are special.
Beach House truly is one is a trillion. They are my favorite band of all time. I wish you the best!
@@TechnoBro999 Thank you so much ! I wish you the best as well ❤️❤️
Studying for the exams will only determine what you remember come exam time. Theres more to the world than a textbook
Wish u the best !
"Shadows bend and suddenly
The world becomes
And swallows me in"
I get goosebumps every time i hear that part.
SAMEE!!
I cried tbh
On the sea and Myth are very incredible songs...just brings me back to the same place everytime i hear them
Music never sounded so beautiful in my ears in all my life i cannot believe i found this so late
My Fall 2012 soundtrack... one of my favorite albums ever, dreamy and beautiful, every song is a gem.
Loved it since it's release, can't think why it took me until last month to buy it. Probably because it's in my favourites list on here.
Helped put my sister's dog down tonight. Had "on the sea" playing on the headphones on the drive home and all I could think about , was how she looked thinking she was just in for a routine checkup. She wanted to go home, but she had a stroke and tumors were starting to show on the side of her belly. I acted I wasn't going to cry, but now this song will always remind me of that moment. Although she wasn't my dog, I was very close to her and often watched her like my own. Love your furries and cherish what little time you have with them. 🥺😢
Gorgeous soundscapes throughout the whole album. A real album which has a musical consistency and quality throughout. Sublime.
This was literally the soundtrack to summer 2012 for me. I just heard Sparks too, can't wait for their FIFTH LP! Too much good music.
I took a road trip with some friends in Australia on the Great Ocean Road. It was rainy and foggy but it was still the best road trip I have ever taken. During that time, I kept thinking of the song Myth. Now every time I hear the song, I think of the road trip.
I'm a new fan of this I might be late but I'm glad I made it.
Zak Taylor Yea... I mostly listen to hip hop as a matter a fact I found this duo from a hip hop song (Kendrick Lamar-Money Trees) that sampled Beach House - Silver Soul
john jackson Same
Man that's cool, we don't care if you're late. I feel like discovering music is all about a timeline. It isn't, it is about finding a song or a band and then losing yourself in its midst
Zak Taylor LOL! OMG what game is that from?!
+Zak Taylor No never heard of that one. I was going to guess Zork or something like that. And with this I have officially aged myself, lol
I recently got to hang with my cousin for the first time in ten plus years. We both are adults now and it’s almost like we forgot how close we were when we were young. She was one of my closest friends.
We were at a wedding and decided to dip off and smoke a joint on a paddle boat. She whipped out a fatty and we floated while listening to this whole album while we caught up with each other. I love who she’s become and I now love Beach House.
Wherever you go is so underrated, one of my favorites of this record, it is as if Beach house gave you a warm hug after being there with them during a long long cry and sharing meditated thoughts.
Unlike anything else. A vivid, lucid, poignant dream come true. True love, and the feelings that are somehow unattainable on this Earth, but exist fully in this captured hour.
Fred Vaughn Perfectly expressed Fred.
Whenever I need a moment to myself and I feel overwhelmed, I just come back to this album and play it through. Beach House is sometimes all you need, and I need it now more than ever.
One of the best albums I've ever heard
It's like a movie soundtrack. I can see all the scenes as each chord plays.
i know that nobody is going to see this but im listening to this album while writing my letters and it makes me feel like everything might turn out okay after all
You’re not alone
❤️
hope everything went okay, you can always come back here to get some calm
rare that an album is ever perfect all the way through
Teen Dream: The beautiful grasslands whilst horses leap by the hills where fountains of pools subside
Devotion: A lonesome couple trying to keep it together in a summer home stranded; for a gunman is on the lookout to kill them both as soon as they forgive each other
Bloom: An hour long slow dance in the dark
Depression Cherry: dreaming of the perfect heart while bathing in your lover's blood; listening to ABBA

Devotion?
Then what is Seven?
I love this comment.
You should write lyrics.
this one is a 10, teen dream is a 9.9, depression cherry a 9.8. And that's just a matter of preference, i just happen to come back to this one slightly more. They're all so damn good
36:16 ONE.... IIIIIIIN YOUR LIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE, IT HAPPENS ONCE, RARELY TWIIIIIIIIIIIIICE
Definitely one of the best moments and songs on the album.
This album speaks to me.
At a time when I was moving away from home, and being driven toward discovering myself and embracing the fears ahead of me, this album was my comfort. Each song would hit me in a visceral way, often bringing me to tears. I'm incredibly grateful for this music and this band, and hope that one day I can really express to them what they have done for me. The lessons that lie within these verses have changed my life for the better, and helped me touch something inside that I was /so/ afraid of even considering. Just like an amazing piece of art that moves you to change your life, they have impacted my life in a way that I can never forget.
Thank you, Beach House, and thank you to those listening. Without you, their music would fall on deft ears.
This is the first thing I've ever heard by Beach House. I am in love.
THE Best album of the first quarter of the 21st Century.
That'd be KID A or SOUND OF SILVER
How these two come up with all this melody - all these lyrics - the sentiment - the grandiose - and the truly ethereal - is proof of the potential of our human spirit when we love what it is we are doing . . .
Wonderful summation 👏
Indeed
I am currently falling in love with someone who showed me this album and it's something that I cannot control. The thoughts that run when I hear this are of her, always.
Enlightened_One ॐ best of luck
Why do u cover ur face?
Well I think that you relighted should tell her before it’s to late 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Same
Too bad you never made a move
new year is a masterpiece
How the fuck does one come up with a song like on the sea? That shit blew my mind.
The Eagle Has landed I cry every time...
It's so great to hear an active band that is not afraid to make beautiful sound.
I keep listening to all their albums on youtube on repeat. Best band I've heard in a long time.
"On The Sea"
Out on the sea we’d be forgiven
Our bodies stopped the spirit living
Wouldn’t you like to know how far you’ve got left to go
Somebody’s child nobody made you
It’s not what you stole it's what they gave you
In or out you go
In your silence your soul
Would you rather go unwilling
Your heart is full and now it's spilling
Barreling down the steps
Only a moment left
In hind of sight no peace of mind
Where you begin and I’m defined
Daughter of unconscious fate
Time will tell in spite of me
In hind of sight no peace of mind
Where it begins and we're defined
Shadows bend and suddenly
The world becomes and swallows me in
Whistle to a friend gentle till the end
Anyway in a name she takes shape just the same
Anyone else miss those hidden tracks at the end of albums? I had this in the background and was pleasantly surprised at 56:56 when they came back. Streaming has made me move more towards playlists and individual songs from artists - still cool in itself, but we miss out on these moments when we let the album just ride us through time and surprise us like that
This album is like a scented light refreshing summer breeze. Absolutly sublime!
Just discovered Beach House in October 2021 after my mom died, and although I am more of a UK oriented rocker, I absolutely love nearly ALL BH songs. Each song has its own unique aspects, but overall BH is the BEST MUSIC I HAVE HEARD IN MY LIFE, except for maybe the Beatles. Their songs and sound (Victoria LeGrand & Alex Scally are amazing!!) are beautiful, calming, mostly happy and uplifting, transformative, inspirational and the lyrics are fantastic! I can't believe I didn't know about this wonderful group, that is currently touring. Definitely going to at least one show, if not more!! This is the new soundtrack to my better life! Love these truly amazing musical creations. Wow!!

The drumbeat in "Wild" was made with a Casiotone CT-360 from 1987. I accidentally found it while messing around with this really cheap vintage keyboard that I bought for almost nothing.
OMG, this is crazy that you mention this. I actually OWN the organ that she uses in her performances. (I can't remember the name of It, bit it white and starts with an O. It's not the Yamaha Motif, but she plays that one as well). Thanks for the info about the Casiotone!
You may want to check out my note-to-color music theory and my Theory of Pitch Psychology. I use a lot of Beach House songs as examples why songwriters and composers choose specific keys for different emotive effects!

Acoustic Rabbit Hole
All of beach houses songs sound the same yet so different at the same time i love it
I've been suffering my entire life. Listening to this makes me feel like someone else is out there. Knowing exactly what I'm going through. Maybe that gives my life slightly more purpose than before. Life is to short. Do your best to bring positivity to this world.
Wishes makes me cry like a bitch, I ain't gonna pretend.
same cheers
I would go as far as to say that Beach House "Bloom" album is the best album of all time, it is as close to heavenly as one can get, unlike anything I heard before. They deserve the highest compliments one can give. this is just my humble two cents on this.
+maxim maximov best album of all time? what about albums that come out in the future? surely you haven't heard them yet, so how can we know if this album is better?
+maxim maximov Have you listened to their new album depression cherry?
Nope, it's nowhere near the best album of all time...but the BH sacred trilogy are: 'Teen Dream'', ''Bloom'' and ''7''. Depression Cherry is very close to them!
This is one of those golden albums that comes once a generation, written from the heart, written for those who know their order of civilization is ending, for those who were meant for better, but are caught in the jaws of its inexorable decline.
Dont underestimate the power of love. Sophia awaits.
@@pingpongpaddlehead bro who tf is sophia and whats her favorite color like i cut myself off from relationships but now im ready to get my heart blasted into pieces again
@@kg7219 Get to know yourself before you get to know someone else.
im glad this album exists
When I first heard about Beach House, I was turned off by the name... then I discovered Bloom, and it had a huge impact on my life! A lesson I will never forget.
Beach house is the only band where I can listen to every single album from beginning to end, all of their songs are amazing.
Have you heard Wild Nothing-Nocturne?
+kobron1559 no but I will give it a listen! Thank you!!!
What a voice. Each song that starts, I think, 'oh, I think this is getting samey' - but then the song and arrangement goes to a different place entirely. And Victoria's delivery is absolutely fascinating and keeps you gripped from the first word to the last. There is no singer like her, the harmonies they achieve together are unique, and each album they produce is a quantum leap from the last - unbelievable. Since I discovered Beach House, I barely listen to other music - I'm really worried about what will happen when I'm finally played out!
Then you will listen to ALVVAYS
@@kennybob3096 I do!
This sound made me feel weird... I've watched old pictures and the combination made my heart sink and I felt dizzy .... Like im missing something. Missing hard.
I can tell you what that missing thing is.
We are all missing parts from the day we were born, it's why we are drawn together. We all spend so much time trying to fill them, and it almost never works, and if it does it's so so transient. Sometimes you look back and realize there was a time it was being filled and you didn't even know it, and now it's gone. Maybe someday, some of us will learn to grow those parts back before we die.
@@jhart7304 deez nuts
For me, All of us is missing the bitter but sweet pain ,nostalgia ..
Hands down, my favorite Beach House record. This is bliss.
"Lazuli"
In the blue
Of this life
Where it ends
In the night
When you couldn't see
You would come for me
Wonder eyes
Motion high
And we don't dare
Slip on by
Make us suffer
Like no other
Is nothing like lapis lazuli
Let it go back to me
Like no other
You can't be replaced
god i love it when i find new artists to love. started from On the Sea and Space Song from the two really separate occasions of playing whatever autoplay brought me, and now beach house is my best friend
Myth actually brings tears to my eyes every time
In 2012 when this album came out, I moved to London which was at that time a completely new city to me and it became the soundtrack of my first years when I was discovering the city and myself ,in the little time left over while working almost 7/24 in architecture...
