i was asleep on a bus ride but this song came on and i woke up as it was starting, and just saw all the snow falling around us and how beautiful the world was at that moment, half asleep on a crowded bus at midnight.. it was kind of unforgettable
I've been in a similar situation. Returning home on a bus ride after a long and far away trip and waking up to music with similar vibes (I had the Lust For Life album by Lana Del Rey playing), and I woke up to an incredibly chill, relaxing and good-vibes song while sitting next to someone I loved and surrounded by tons of people I love. Truly is amazing.
I can relate to that,I can remember when I was in my early 20s ( 1980s ) and The Killing Moon by Echo and the Bunneymen was on 3D radio at 2.00 in the morning .After that ijust bought every album of them, I still love their music. This is a beautiful song.
Pink and blue were dancing Empty floor, shadows lancing Somewhere in a ballroom tonight Red and blue combination Old man finds elation Somewhere in a ballroom tonight Love me see what I see tonight Let us find elation Somewhere in a ballroom tonight Nowhere on an ordinary night
Lyrics: 🌹 Pink and blue were dancing Empty floor, shadows lancing Somewhere in a ballroom tonight Red and blue combination Old man finds elation Somewhere in a ballroom tonight Love me, see what I see tonight Let us find elation Somewhere in a ballroom tonight Nowhere on an ordinary night
Heard it once and then I couldn't stop listening to it. It's such a great song, especially when listening to it at night when you think about everything in life.
I met my wife 7 years ago and showed her beach house before they were ever heard of... I ended up learning a majority of Beach House on the guitar, and I'll play them to her while she sings to me and my kids❤️
Unbelievable how much amazing music there is that is never played on the radio. Most of the stations are 80's hits. Which I like, but there should be at least one station with music like this.
@@patricksmith4424beach house are pretty popular now and I’m happy about that I just wish people weren’t speeding up their songs haha it takes away the vibe
I'm a pretty big car enthusiast and beach house does it for me all the time. Whether I'm cruising PCH or driving the 74 to the lookout in Murrieta, Beach house gets me lost in the driving experience. Truly beautiful
Oh you tease. You big tease. tox0tes' red lipstick is so hot right now. I'll love you big boy. Excuse me for just one second.......................sorry, I'm back now. All of sudden I just threw up, in my mouth.
Just a few days ago, I held my sweet little rat Dewey to this song as he painlessly died from the euthanasia. He was my best friend and the only living creature that accepted me for everything. A lot of people don't know how loving and accepting rats really are, and I held my little guy where he was safe and knew he was loved, I held it together for him but as soon as he faded away in my arms I couldn't hold it in anymore. This song will forever hold a place in my mind where Dewey is spiraling free in space and his soul is prancing around me keeping me safe.
Rats are truly amazing friends. I had 3 when I was younger. The baby developed a huge tumor on her stomach so big she could only walk on 3 legs. We talked the vet down from $500 to $100 to remove it. He did and it eventually came back but baby lived a great rat life with her mom and aunt. They all 3 loved to sit on top of the cage when the lid was off. One day baby was walking across the top and fell off, thrown off balance by her large tumor. She fell down between some books and the side of the cage, not far. I immediately grabbed her and she passed away in my hands as i cradled her. She let out a little final squeak and then she was gone as quickly as she fell. But she died feeling my love and she wasn’t alone. This story has nothing to do with this song but just wanted to add my experience as to how amazing rats are. Those 3 creatures were a hilarious trio and all so extremely loving. 🙂❤️
@@davidoffhasbro8968 they are one of the world's sweetest creatures but have been given such a short lifespan. I am so sorry to hear about your rat baby 💔
The slow dance of a life, that closes the album, which could close an existence, among ballrooms floored pink blue and red, like a 60s movie, little steps, the silence of the looks, the talk of the spirits, heat of the hearts, heat of the flesh, tears, a whisper, see-what-I-see, it is like dancing on the snow under the yellow light of the lampposts, your head on my shoulder, my mouth in your hair. And the world elsewhere. Love: somewhere tonight
okay, so I was raised very religious and though I've drifted further and further from it over the years when I was younger I had a very intimate relationship with god or what i thought was god, still a bit 50/50 on that whole deal but anyway, when I prayed I would get this very surreal euphoric feeling sort of a self induced intimacy from the words I would use which reflected my deepest desires and fears. Reading your words just now I got that same feeling, the power and emotion of what you said was surreal to me and I just wanted to thank you for that, and hey if your other reviews are anything like that I am excited to take a look at some of your work.
I imagine myself listening to this song while floating in the middle of the ocean at night, watching all the stars and the stardust, lonely but beautiful
afrer listening to Depression Cherry and Thank Your Lucky Stars several times (start to finish) I find that Beach House never disappoints. their albums are musical jewels that will last, because nobody can touch hearta like they can
this reminds me of roller skating just before a thunderstorm --right when the sky turns that brilliant and bright pink and purple and you can smell the concrete mix with fresh rain. as the first drop hits you, you skate in circles and just take it all in. and when the rain finally comes down it pours, and all you can do is tilt your head back and laugh; the earth has cleansed you and your soul in a way no one else ever could. somewhere, tonight
Idk, "The Beat Dies" is not one of my faves, and I'm not sure it's the same vibe--for me this is more analogous to "Curse The Night"... Fragile, nostalgic, romantic, melancholy... :)
November 6, 2015. I was staying at South Point Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. I met this guy one night (we met online) and we decided to meet in person at the casino. After a few beers we decide to walk down the street to his apartment. We get there; we lay around, we talk, we listen to music, we play this song on repeat, and get into some other things. After several cheap beers and this song on repeat, the night had came to an end and he walked me back to my Hotel. Before I left his room I wrote a note promising I would keep in contact with him. We get back to the hotel, we walk and talk for hours until we get a good buzz. He meets my friends, we all exchange numbers and take pictures. He has to leave. We hug and share a small kiss. The next morning I left Vegas and couldn't stop thinking about him. We kept in contact for seven months after and even tried long distance, but it didn't work out. You will forever be in my heart with this song
I really love this song it really touches my heart. To me it is about a very pure expression of feelings of longing in the distance to a different time, one may has experienced or wishes to have experienced. "Pink and blue were dancing" seems to referencing a boy and a girl (in a stereotypical manner) who are having a very special night. There are sometimes these moments where one knows that it is a very special moment and that it will never be forgotten. These moments are often connected to a special bond and relation between persons, that may be short and fleeting but pure. The line: " Love me, see what I see tonight (see what I see, see what I see)", tries to indicate that we just want to love and be loved very genuinely and that we should change perspectives in order to see each other as people who are all just searching for these special moments of connection. It may also be about a protagonists who is sometimes thinking back to one special night, and it always gives him hopes that these moments are possible to reach. The old man in "Old man finds elation" may reference himself, and that these memories help him to face feelings of feeling useless and not worthy of these special moments. in order to witness these special moments one may need to leave the comfort zone because these experiences are "Nowhere on an ordinary night".
It's a very sensual song. I remember being slightly disappointed the first time I heard it compared to the phenomenal endings of Bloom and Depression Cherry. But there's something about it's enticing and consistent melody that makes it easier to listen to repeatedly. I've listened to it a lot. It's a great slow dance song, and a better bedroom song.
This may be corny to anyone reading this message but this song brings me sooo much emotion. This was the main song I was listening to throughout reading my favorite light novel Mushoku Tensei: Jobless reincarnation. I think this song perfectly matches the vibe of the story rifujin (the author) was trying to portray through the main character. Everytime I listen to this song it not only brings many complex emotions to me but also reminds me of the first time reading through the beautiful story that which is Mushoku tensei. Thank you for this wonderful song 🫶🏻
I first remember seeing Beach House at the Reverent Fog Festival in 2006. After hours of drinking Sparks in the sun and messy antics, somehow everyone held it together to be captivated by this ethereal music. I was in my mid-20s but I never felt much of a connection to anyone, even my close friends. I had fantasies of being a better, cooler, self-assured person but they dissipated each night as I struggled to find the right combination of booze and drugs to bring out this imaginary better me. Still, I remember moments, like seeing Beach House at the G-Spot on Falls Road, watching my friends and feeling together in enjoying something beautiful. Over the years, listening to old Beach House songs filled me with a strange nostalgia for a worse life. The pandemic broke my spirit and brought me back, uncomfortably close to those times. I cried throughout the winter, filled with sadness and insecurity and despair and a fear that I was broken and this was forever. I turned 40 in July. I was just regaining my footing when my beloved dog got sick. She was my world, and such a big part of my growth from that troubled person I used to be. I begged her for just one more year. "Not now, after just turning 40, after this awful winter. Just one more year." It turned out to be an infection, and she recovered. But I was still exhausted and shaken. Then, in September, she got sick again. I realized that she had been infected by the contaminated water in Stony Run, a creek I'd let her splash in since she was a puppy. It was her favorite thing to do. But I'd known that water was gross. Her suffering was my fault. With all the pet ERs backed up during the pandemic, things moved slow. I had a hard time getting her to take her medication once I got it. I stayed home from work and slept downstairs on the couch to be near her while I nursed her back to health. On the afternoon of September 15th, she was so sick and struggling to breathe. I couldn't stop crying even though I expected Maple to get better. To calm myself down, I looked up old Beach House songs. When I ran out of the familiar stuff, I found this album, which I'd never listened to before. This song stopped me in my tracks. I played it over and over as I cried. Right up until the moment when Maple stopped breathing. The beautiful song looped in my head for days as walked around in a daze, heartbroken, trying to accept I was living in a world without her in it. As the months have gone by, it would replay in my mind again in my many sad moments. I have had a hard time letting go of that horrible September day, and the sweet smiling dog's face I'd never see again. -- Today, on the anniversary of the date I got Maple from the SPCA, I walked to the bridge at Stony Run. Her favorite spot. The creek that killed her. I tossed rocks into the water to say goodbye. Rocks for my regrets and for the things about her that I will always miss. Twelve rocks: one for each year of her life. I bought this album, and intently listened to this song again and let the swell of memories from September 15th wash over me. This song will always bring me close to that day, the last time I touched the soft scruff my greatest friend, the dog who helped me find the strength to build the life that I want. I will never be able to listen to this song without sobbing. I am so grateful for it.
Kara, so sad yet so beautiful at the same time. Whenever someone I know loses their beloved dog, I note that our cherished little friends are with us for such a short time. They are little candles that burn with a brilliant light and give us warmth that we find in few other places. Our hearts are cut to the core when our little friends leave us, yet we know that the world was made a little better by the precious time we had the privilege to spend with them.
Had it on shuffle when this came on, had just got on the highway, windows down one cool October evening, sunset with the sky looking purple/pink/orange. No destination, just driving through the hills one Southern California dusk
This song has David Lynch written all over it. The vibe is dreamy and surreal with a hint of gloom. It would have fit into Twin Peaks, Wild at Heart (accident scene), Mulholland Drive or just about any of them (except Dune). Who knows, perhaps Lynch will find a place for it in his next film.
This to me is actually the best sounding sound to me that I have ever had the pleasure of hearing always just feels like I'm floating in a dream listening.
my favourite memory of this song was last year when we had just graduated and went to this hotel for my one friends birthday. there were 5 of us, we all used to be close but we stopped hanging out as a group, that was the first time we were together in a long time and it was the last. anyway it was late and we were all sitting out on the balcony looking at the lights flickering whilst some of us were high and this song was quietly playing in the background. none of us spoke but we were secretly enjoying our last moments together.
Loviest song ever!! Makes me wish I could dance on clouds with that someone special, but I just sit and sway as I listen and think of so much and it’s like I’m on a soul searching experience or some kind of spiritual journey and the entire world is still… total feels of pure bliss!!Always loved Beach House and all their songs are amazing!🎶❤☁️✨
I hope that, when somebody buys me tickets for one of their sold-out shows in San Francisco, everybody begins to slow-dance when they play this song. Can we all do that as fans, you guys? Whenever they play this when you see them live, grab your boo or ask a lovely lady/gent if you could have this dance with them.
I saw them at the FILLMO'! The disco ball dropped and pink and blue lights started to flash...then I saw a pair of girls slow dancing next to me. So sweet.
hearing alex's voice is so chilling for some reason...when i listened to dark spring with headphones on, his voice gave me such a haunting feeling i love it.
"Let us find elation" "Old man finds elation" "Empty floor" Sì, questa canzone è meravigliosamente triste, nostalgica e malinconica. Grazie Beach House.
Still can’t get over how beautiful this song is.. It brings out my deepest yearnings and desires on such cold and lonely nights to the point it warms my soul ~
Drove home to this at 1 am on a late September Friday night. Put me somewhere between melancholy and bliss, watching the light fog drift and swirl gently across the pavement as I drove down the deserted streets.
relistening to this album and this and One Thing are def my fav songs on it. I think the five best Beach House songs are Lazuli, Gila, this, Silver Soul and Dive but honestly that list is bound to fluctuate all the time. this band is one of a kind
senior prom- totally in love with this girl. I pay for her ticket I pay for her dinner, we dance one dance and she leaves with another dude. then all my friends go to her house and egg it....song takes me back there every time
My wife and I slow danced to this at our wedding. No one else knew the song, but we expected this going in... it was meant to be ours, and ours only.

Instantly nostalgic. "Somewhere Tonight" and "Space Song" are 2 of the best piece of music made in 2015. Thank you, again, Beach House.

Unbelievable how much amazing music there is that is never played on the radio. Most of the stations are 80's hits. Which I like, but there should be at least one station with music like this.
Grateful that it reached my ears😇

BBC radio 6 Guy Garvey played this on his show this morning amongst other great music 1.1.2023

Beach House usually have incredible closers on all of their albums.
I really love this song it really touches my heart.
To me it is about a very pure expression of feelings of longing in the distance to a different time, one may has experienced or wishes to have experienced.
"Pink and blue were dancing" seems to referencing a boy and a girl (in a stereotypical manner) who are having a very special night. There are sometimes these moments where one knows that it is a very special moment and that it will never be forgotten. These moments are often connected to a special bond and relation between persons, that may be short and fleeting but pure.
The line: " Love me, see what I see tonight (see what I see, see what I see)", tries to indicate that we just want to love and be loved very genuinely and that we should change perspectives in order to see each other as people who are all just searching for these special moments of connection.
It may also be about a protagonists who is sometimes thinking back to one special night, and it always gives him hopes that these moments are possible to reach. The old man in "Old man finds elation" may reference himself, and that these memories help him to face feelings of feeling useless and not worthy of these special moments.
in order to witness these special moments one may need to leave the comfort zone because these experiences are "Nowhere on an ordinary night".

Then, in September, she got sick again. I realized that she had been infected by the contaminated water in Stony Run, a creek I'd let her splash in since she was a puppy. It was her favorite thing to do. But I'd known that water was gross. Her suffering was my fault.
With all the pet ERs backed up during the pandemic, things moved slow. I had a hard time getting her to take her medication once I got it. I stayed home from work and slept downstairs on the couch to be near her while I nursed her back to health.
On the afternoon of September 15th, she was so sick and struggling to breathe. I couldn't stop crying even though I expected Maple to get better.
To calm myself down, I looked up old Beach House songs. When I ran out of the familiar stuff, I found this album, which I'd never listened to before.
This song stopped me in my tracks. I played it over and over as I cried. Right up until the moment when Maple stopped breathing.
The beautiful song looped in my head for days as walked around in a daze, heartbroken, trying to accept I was living in a world without her in it.
As the months have gone by, it would replay in my mind again in my many sad moments. I have had a hard time letting go of that horrible September day, and the sweet smiling dog's face I'd never see again.
--
Today, on the anniversary of the date I got Maple from the SPCA, I walked to the bridge at Stony Run. Her favorite spot. The creek that killed her.
I tossed rocks into the water to say goodbye. Rocks for my regrets and for the things about her that I will always miss. Twelve rocks: one for each year of her life.
I bought this album, and intently listened to this song again and let the swell of memories from September 15th wash over me.
This song will always bring me close to that day, the last time I touched the soft scruff my greatest friend, the dog who helped me find the strength to build the life that I want.
I will never be able to listen to this song without sobbing. I am so grateful for it.
Kara, so sad yet so beautiful at the same time. Whenever someone I know loses their beloved dog, I note that our cherished little friends are with us for such a short time. They are little candles that burn with a brilliant light and give us warmth that we find in few other places. Our hearts are cut to the core when our little friends leave us, yet we know that the world was made a little better by the precious time we had the privilege to spend with them.
A sort of bitter sweet story, im sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss, ❤️❤️❤️ beautiful written comment.
@@jonnil1997 thanks. I am still missing her, 3 summers later. Came here to listen to this song and remember our life together.
just discovered this band like a month ago and I'm so happy I did. I am in love.
This song should have more publicity for how amazing her voice is😍❤️
Can't believe we got two albums within only a few months
Lana it was perfect and much needed.
Thank your lucky stars
Had it on shuffle when this came on, had just got on the highway, windows down one cool October evening, sunset with the sky looking purple/pink/orange. No destination, just driving through the hills one Southern California dusk
Monumental 🌅
I'm not going to lie, I cried a little.
Me too.
+Melvin Hawkins and me, but maybe it's aging lacrimal gland.
Melvin Hawkins Liar
Melvin Hawkins lol same 😭
Lol Y?
This song has David Lynch written all over it. The vibe is dreamy and surreal with a hint of gloom. It would have fit into Twin Peaks, Wild at Heart (accident scene), Mulholland Drive or just about any of them (except Dune). Who knows, perhaps Lynch will find a place for it in his next film.
Same, though Blue Velvet was the one that came to mind.
Yeees! Exactly!
Beach House knows what sounds hit what spots and they seem to press all the right ones at the same time in their music.
This to me is actually the best sounding sound to me that I have ever had the pleasure of hearing always just feels like I'm floating in a dream listening.
Its like angels singing and making the music❤
For some reason I want this played at my funeral.
my favourite memory of this song was last year when we had just graduated and went to this hotel for my one friends birthday. there were 5 of us, we all used to be close but we stopped hanging out as a group, that was the first time we were together in a long time and it was the last. anyway it was late and we were all sitting out on the balcony looking at the lights flickering whilst some of us were high and this song was quietly playing in the background. none of us spoke but we were secretly enjoying our last moments together.
U should definitely look up :( Quiet Soul by The Impures) is a chill new song is good af really underrated
@@ImpaledCaptain7 wow okay that was a whole experience, i absolutely loved it
this is one of vicky's most beautiful vocal performances.
This song is so amazing,it rips my heart out so good.i can't listen to it without tears welling up in my eyes
Reminds me of Devotion, such a great album already.
Loviest song ever!!
Makes me wish I could dance on clouds with that someone special, but I just sit and sway as I listen and think of so much and it’s like I’m on a soul searching experience or some kind of spiritual journey and the entire world is still… total feels of pure bliss!!Always loved Beach House and all their songs are amazing!🎶❤☁️✨
I can't handle this song, It's so fcking good my ears melting
How could you not love this slow jam. Really hits the heart.
No words. what a closer!
If someone told me that Doo Wop Psychedelia was a thing, I'd tell them they're crazy. But Beach House is amazing! One of my favorite acts.
now i know why i like beach house
The singer has an old timey quality to her vocals and the music is like a more polished Pink Floyd
I hope that, when somebody buys me tickets for one of their sold-out shows in San Francisco, everybody begins to slow-dance when they play this song. Can we all do that as fans, you guys? Whenever they play this when you see them live, grab your boo or ask a lovely lady/gent if you could have this dance with them.
I would have to get my SO to go to the show first. I have to slow dance to this!
I saw them at the FILLMO'! The disco ball dropped and pink and blue lights started to flash...then I saw a pair of girls slow dancing next to me. So sweet.
+Sophie Halton Why don't you buy your own tickets? You bloody cheapskate. Stop mooching and being so self-entitled.
+bruceaisher Calm down?
Yesenia Vasquez No.
This song feels like a fresh breath of air on a lonely night beautiful🌹
Nice song...This song makes me feel so nostalgic
I hear a lot of Richie Valen’s Oh Donna, Procol Harum and Morrissey in this song. Love it 😊
hearing alex's voice is so chilling for some reason...when i listened to dark spring with headphones on, his voice gave me such a haunting feeling i love it.
There is something about this song that is so unique... it sings to my soul.
this is it. the perfect song.
"Let us find elation"
"Old man finds elation"
"Empty floor"
Sì, questa canzone è meravigliosamente triste, nostalgica e malinconica.
Grazie Beach House.
This is my favorite song off Thank Your Lucky Stars
I can't get over how gorgeous this song is. This and L'inconnue are among my favorites. Much love, Beach House!
Wow this is a banger. 🔥
"See what I see" is so sweet
Just found this song today. Was brought to tears at how beautiful the melody and voice was.
U should definitely look up :( Quiet Soul by The Impures) is a chill new song is good af really underrated
no bc why every song of beach hosue makes me nostalgic
I just heard this for the very first time..LOVE IT !!
my god. this is a gem.
3:46 insanely beautiful
Still can’t get over how beautiful this song is.. It brings out my deepest yearnings and desires on such cold and lonely nights to the point it warms my soul ~
A psychedelic dreamy trip back to the 50's, Oh what a voice - Awesome !!
Jesussss so good
Her voice really shines in this. Sweet and strong.
Drove home to this at 1 am on a late September Friday night. Put me somewhere between melancholy and bliss, watching the light fog drift and swirl gently across the pavement as I drove down the deserted streets.
relistening to this album and this and One Thing are def my fav songs on it. I think the five best Beach House songs are Lazuli, Gila, this, Silver Soul and Dive
but honestly that list is bound to fluctuate all the time. this band is one of a kind
The drum beat, chord progression and melody are 1950’s staples. Blue moon 🌙
Victoria tenes una hermosa voz y con esta cancion me transporto a los 60
¡Hermoso!, no dejaré de escucharla, muchos recuerdos vienen a mi al oír esto
Twin Peaks Dream Sequence glamour. So amazing.
lovely, just lovely
senior prom- totally in love with this girl. I pay for her ticket I pay for her dinner, we dance one dance and she leaves with another dude. then all my friends go to her house and egg it....song takes me back there every time
Fuckin feels bad man
is incredible how music can do this kind of things on you,
Jeezus .... so good . Play this in an abandoned building and watch the ghosts dance .....
Slow dance 🤗
3:39 - 4:00 sounds so beautiful!
J ai été naïf pendant ma jeunesse, mais cette chanson va restera dans mon cœur.
Sounds like 50’s, i love it 💗
beautiful
Every few months I come back for a re-listen. Always so familiar yet as different as my thoughts and emotions at that particular moment
Mon coup de cœur merci beach house
possibly my favorite Beach House song and definitely their most romantic.
