I was listening to their latest album while on a plane yesterday, and it was beautiful. Quite a coincidence to find your comment about the same experience the next day :)
@@guitarmaniac004 good comparison! When the sun hits is their best track on Souvlaki, and this album has 3 - dont know why, no longer making time and sugar for the pill. im convinced that this is their best album.
@@Renav21 christian nick and simon all quit before pygmalion came out and worked in tech i believe, simon eventually made ambient music prior to slowdive reunion, but up until the reunion they were more or less normal guys
Just discovered Slowdive a couple of months ago. Instantly bought all of their records and am floating through space. They look like Uncle and Aunt from Church, yet creating the most captivating and immersive sound I've ever heard. Combine the power of all latest music and still Slowdive smashes them with ease! Love it
It's only the beginning. I always come back to shoegaze and there has been somewhat of an revival for the last few years, which is awesome. My current shoegaze Song of the year that I found recently: Deserta - Hide (my fav from last year was vhs dream - so high). You're welcome.
I tend to focus on loss and this focus causes me to become nihilistic. Something about watching these guys perform this song makes it better that they are older. It makes me see without the beauty behind somebody, you would never really miss them to begin with when they do finally fade away. I focus so much on losing people I love that I don't enjoy them while they are still here. Scared to care too much about anything because I fear losing it. Focusing on the burden of love rather than the gift of it. I wish this was the kind of thing I could have figured out when I was younger I guess. We don't get time back though so you either spend it appreciating and living it somehow or you don't.
Come anyway Say you're clean, you like it that way You got a new boy He keeps it light, you like it that way Who cares anyway Oh lord I remember the days And all those nights When you wanted so much more Cathy, don't wait too long We're no longer making time Forever we'll be Together, we breathe No longer for too run Come anyway Come on down in your Blue eyed way Comes and it goes You come around and I don't know why Just lovers and life Common ground, Yeah there's no surprise Just holding your arms Holding on till the fear, It goes Cathy, don't wait too long We're no longer making time Forever we'll be Together, we breathe No longer for too run Who cares anyway Oh Lord, I remember those days And all those nights Holding on till the fear, it goes
I can say from the many years I’ve lived on this planet, these people are the closest thing to soul mates I’ve experienced sonically not beyond the women I’ve been so fortunate to know and love .. I lack the words to really express this music.. I just know it is me and I didn’t discover then til last year and I’ve been here since 74 💋
I heard Souvlaki first, about 30 years ago, on a roadtrip with my then-girlfriend. I'd bought the CD at a used record store on the way. From the moment Alison came on, they were my favorite band. It was the sound that was in my head, there coming out of the speakers. To this day it's my favorite song, and they're my favorite band. despite having heard hundreds if not thousands more.
Why wierd. It's a vicarious passion, but how can you not feel it? They are all amazing. Live, thrive forever there I said it !!!!!!! Cheers from Minnesota , Jon
I was there at the beginning. I heard brilliance. No one around me did. A little over a decade people began to notice. They have finally received the recognition they deserve. It made me so so happy that people finally began to hear this bands cloudy dreamy sound. Disappointed that there wasn't one word spoken of them in Upside Down. I recall looking on Wikipedia, oh maybe about around 2008-09 and Souvlaki only had like a 2 or 3 star rating (AllMusic), now it's 4.5 stars. Duh it was a 5 star LP when I bought it in the summer of 1993. Very important LP to me. So good to see them back together. Like the CAN shirt Neil is wearing.
I totally agree with you, everything you say is 100% true.. Just 10 years ago it was "deer in the headlights" if you mentioned Slowdive, now all of a sudden, its their favorite band since the start.. lol Be proud of your ear for good music and being first to the party! Cheers!
Just discovered this band about a week ago. Can't get them out of my head now. I really enjoy watching their live music on UA-cam. I would love to see them live. There 2017 album is really good too.
FUCK! I can't listen to these music without getting emotional. WTF, I've only know their music since only 1 year, and is like listening to something I listened years and years ago, like it were something special to me. It's a rare state of melancholy and nostalgia that comes from an artificial source.
I discoverd this song during the revolution two days ago and you can't imagine how you could feel by listening to this and watching every thing from above
sublime all the way/ surprising how much emotion they can pack into one song/ they do unique performances. . .sometimes the live versions even out do the perfected studio versions. . either way it doesn't matter.. . what an incredible band/
Funny bc I always heard of these guys from yrs ago and never really gave them a listen. Im an all out fan of 80s shoegaze scene too. But i heard this this song and kind of 'discovering' them now. Better late than never i guess
You cannot imagine the experience I had while listening to this, looking out from the window of a plane as the sun sets.
Dude, when I'm on a plane it's just one long panic attack.

ya I hear ya same. Other world experience listening to “when the sun hits”
Where were you flying?/ looking at?
It's so friggin' amazing!
The wall of guitar sound that hits during the chorus is like nothing I've ever heard. Pure goosebumps.
That's true mate. And the way music turns up until the explosion of that wall is even better. Amazing music full of feelings.
This.
reminds me of what they did on When The Sun Hits.
@@guitarmaniac004 good comparison! When the sun hits is their best track on Souvlaki, and this album has 3 - dont know why, no longer making time and sugar for the pill. im convinced that this is their best album.
The Slowdive Walls of Sound are magnificent
Best songs by Slowdive according to me:
1. No longer making time
2. When the sun hits
3. Slomo
4. alife
5. Alison
eh
+ Sleep
@@Renav21 yes true.
Dagger
@@loatheasone57 for sure every slowdive song is a treat to the ears.
They still have it, this song couses an unexplainable feeling of joy, when the tears keep running down from your face
Raymond Van den Broeck when the chorus hits
Neil's been writing songs that have this effect since Slowdive parted originally. One of the best songwriters of our time.
Its cathartic
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, well done.
very chill. a beachy song. Can't wait to play it on the beach.
no kidding!
Totally agree
Professionals, they have dedicated their lives to music....and it shows. Thanks guys for this....holy shit this is good.
To be fair, half of them work desk jobs

Experience while listening this track... i was in Iceland, alone, on the top of mountain, magic lights, .... Mystic experience!
Fabien DAL VECCHIO Iceland? Nice!
This is my literal dream right here
the emotion in their music shakes me to the core
All of them have aged like fine wine.

Amen brother... .
@@macheifach man just thank you
I believe I saw them support someone back in the "shoegaze" era. Only now some 30+ years later can I truly appreciate the sheer beauty

The chorus is breathtaking... truly a masterpiece
Come anyway
Say you're clean, you like it that way
You got a new boy
He keeps it light, you like it that way
Who cares anyway
Oh lord I remember the days
And all those nights
When you wanted so much more
Cathy, don't wait too long
We're no longer making time
Forever we'll be
Together, we breathe
No longer for too run
Come anyway
Come on down in your
Blue eyed way
Comes and it goes
You come around and I don't know why
Just lovers and life
Common ground, Yeah there's no surprise
Just holding your arms
Holding on till the fear, It goes
Cathy, don't wait too long
We're no longer making time
Forever we'll be
Together, we breathe
No longer for too run
Who cares anyway
Oh Lord, I remember those days
And all those nights
Holding on till the fear, it goes
I love this song. I think this is one of my favorite slowdive songs ever. Please stay together Slowdive forever.

The guitar sounds great.
I went to type out how I felt experiencing this song, but I see I’m not alone. Tears, a release of emotion…so powerful.
The intensity of this song brings tears to my eyes. Stunning!
Seeing them live for the first time and not knowing who they were was heavenly. Won’t ever forget that.
Never stop making music guys.
I cannot say enough positive things about this band,their singing is just another layer to their musical perfection,shit i love them.
i love the idea that this is from their new stuff
Rachel, I truly, unconditionally and eternally love you. You shot an arrow through my heart. I hope you never die.
weird
weird thing to say, right?
@@kipkipful yup
Why wierd.
It's a vicarious passion, but how can you not feel it?
They are all amazing. Live, thrive forever there I said it !!!!!!!
Cheers from Minnesota , Jon
JM Ashe i was refering to the “i hope you never die” bit
this makes me want to cry
Whoever the sound guy is on this recording needs a raise. Absolutely nailed it.
The guitar melody it’s just perfect... God. I love this guys... goosebumps!!!!!!
This band always takes me to a special place.
I love this song so much. So beautiful. Also, it seems like Dexter joined a band.
Gives me chills every time I hear it...

producer73 ‘none around me did’. Err....yes. They did. I have all the original EP’s and albums. 😊
I read your comment because of the TMR picture. Good to know there is a crossroads between Beefheart and Slowdive. Two of my all time favorites.
I am not sure you were there at the beginning 😂 they were the darlings of the music press with their very earliest stuff.
Chalkers123 you don’t understand, he was Slowdive’s only fan. Slowdive sucked before he said so. He’s the reason they’re famous. He’s the omega fan.
I totally agree with you, everything you say is 100% true..

I'm so pleased to have them back.
Seems like im levitating or travelling to another dimension when hearing the instruments. What a great music
La piel de gallina, slowdive me acompaña en los momentos donde me resguardo y dejo que se curen mis heridas
Felicidad dentro de infelicidad, es lo que se siente
Dead Oceans is their label. The album is self-titled. :)
wow chill
Maurício Macêdo thanks for the suggestion of a good tune
I completely agree ♥
Shoegaze is a life changing experience...
slowdive the best thing ever happened
How awesome are these guys?, bought a real CD copy first for a while and love it religiously.
just ridiculously good! fricking amazing
blissout, chillout, smokeout
The guitar are pure poetry!

Espectacular sesión, I love SLOWDIVE!! from Perú - La Oroya.
Qué hermoso saber que hay gente de todo el país a quienes les gusta esta bandaza
Claramente, el gusto es mundial, sin importar que provincia o país. Una parte positiva de la globalización tal vez.
En Arequipa - Perú, otra persona más disfrutando esta sesión!
slowdive kinds of music will put you in tranquility.
Para mim são as melhores equipes musiis que ouvi sem explicação 100por cdntp
Fora de sério 😔
What a f@#$ing tune this is. Saw them live in Chicago last week. Amazing band.
Sublime
