Back in 2010, I was working as a dishwasher. The job sucked. But the feeling of playing this album on the night drive back home, windows open and welcoming the LA air, is an exact moment of content that can't be replicated.
Been listening to this song since I was in high school. Crystal Castles helped me through a lot of dark times in my life, I am proud of any of the younguns who've landed here.
Sadly I discovered them in 2023, but still lucky I can listen to some good songs from them, still can't believe that this song was released 10 years ago, a banger
I wish I was listening to this in my early 20's. But no. Instead, I was listening to Capital Cities and Justin Bieber. 🤦 I didn't start having good music taste until like 2 years ago. My new kick is French Police and Chase Atlantic. But this shit 🔥tho.

I remember using all my money to buy this album from hot topic the day it dropped. I was 16, in 2010. I went home and put it into my DVD player and listened to it twice all the way through in the dark, laying in bed. I will never forget that feeling. I have an unbelievable amount of memories and emotions to this album, and terrible experiences from meeting him and the damage he brought to my life. I will though forever treasure this album and song.
Can you tell more about this song when it just got realised,how ppl listen to it and where they play and what kind of Vibes they get while playing this
Ah this was the first CC song I ever heard. I have a soft spot in my heart for some of their songs because they will always remind me of summer ‘14. I was 17, we went to Disney world, and some nights I spent up til 3am scrolling through pictures on We Heart It lol. I miss that time so bad.

To be entirely honest, I though the speaking was more one of those background harmonys to push the melody even farther, no idea there was even lyrics til I read your comment :D thanks friendo
This is seriously the type of best, i can't really describe but love it. Maybe it's that they have some kinda mystery in them... This one and also m83 solitude one they're really so good!
my brother saw them live circa 2011 and i was in middle school at the time but i remember him showing me the video of the concert and all the lasers when the beat dropped looked insane
Why are things never as deep as music like this. Where is the club scene that fits such music, where is the masterpiece of a show that has this as a theme song and deserves to have it? Where is the life that is escorted by this song in the background? The slow walks that you'd see The fucking awesome montages that could be. Crystal Castles, you know how to make music
There's a scene in Skins (UK) with crystal castles playing a show in a club in the show, which is definitely something. Good show too, as far as series 1 and 2 go
Eu sei que Crystal Castles não é gótico, mas eu particularmente flerto muito com o estilo gótico, e essa banda é uma das minhas favoritas. Diria que é a única banda de Witch House que ainda consegue ser relevante mesmo décadas depois de lançados os álbuns. Crystal Castles é incrível! Vou continuar ouvindo
Drinking with my best friend years ago, playing Castle Crashers and Rainbow Six, going to Sheetz to get food and then waking up late to do it all over again the next weekend. Some of the best days of my life.
This song is beautiful, it makes you feel a strange but at the same time magical vibe, you feel how your body relaxes in its chorus, it is definitely on another level. I love✨️
From what I've read many people agree that this song is about us all becoming "robots" in the pursuit of "empathy". In an NME interview ethan said she speaks the lyrics as a robot. It's as if we're all destroying our own individuality in order to fit in.
it's quite the opposite. we are destroying ourselves by pursuing individualism at all cost. as individuals and as a society. this music is a reflection of our isolation and self destruct. that's why we like it.
This song makes me fantasize about my previous life and this life and all the possibilities that could happen to me-this song feels like life is running in a fast pace and i can observe it sloww
Back when crystal castles was the real shit. The perfect balance of dead and alive- artistry with 80s synth in god b like rythyms. Alice, you rocked this. Sad it had to end.
I heard this tonight in the documentary For No Good Reason about the illustrator Ralph Steadman (famed for illustrating the writing of Hunter S. Thompson). It sounded so familiar, I knew I had played this song at several house parties I threw back in the early 2010s, but I couldn't place it. It only took 15 minutes to track it down, though. Probably one of their best songs! It's really out of place in that documentary, but it gave me some nostalgia, at least.
Thanks for this comment I got to know that beautiful documentary. Though this track was so different from the other songs in the soundtrack I think it was on point. Thank you for bringin this up!
Crystal Castles were easily a decade ahead of their time.
Indeed
Yes.
Omg, 4 sure 🤗
most definitely
Absolutely unarguable

Same man. Crystal Castles is what got me through washing dishes 50+ hours a week for months on end.
bruh be careful welcoming smog into your car
ahhh i know this feeling too! god bless dishwashers dude, im a waitress and yall work so hard, its alot of work
Hundo P my guy chef life, electro life . Keep that tempo.
Hehe did u go rrrrrr hehe hehe vrrrrr dishwasher vrrrr vrrr
honestly, their best album.
right. I saw them tour for their first album and third album. sad I didn't see this albums tour

RIP Crystal Castles. The worst thing is I didn't see them live.
They were even better in live, I could see them in 2013 and it was amazing.
same, i always wanted to see them live....... i guess that won't ever happen :(
Would have seen them 2013 at Lolla. Along with NIN. Shit was sold out within seconds, fucking ticket scalpers bro.
saw them twice and was up infront in a small indoor concert place was 8 feet away from alice
missed out . they're fucking amazing
One of the sickest beats yet! Goosebumps the whole time!

I think they have been making music around 2008 or something like that correct me if im wrong 😅
Crystal castles living 10 years ahead from this generation 🧬
