This is my winter solstice anthem, and has been for (unbelievably) 11 years now. Here's to lengthening days, a new Beach House album, and a new tour un 2022. I hope everyone who finds this gets to see them!
Will always remind me of the first time seeing snow in Montreal. Feel sorry for any beach house fans who don’t know this song exists. It’s on B-sides and rarities now I’m assuming it was released as a single because the album says it was released in 2017 and this song was definitely around in 2011. I think I found it on spinners back when they had their MP3 of the day
Snowflakes that fall across my eyes Cannot compare to a dark surprise What's new becomes old, what's old is new When I first laid my eyes on you I do not care for the winter sun Windows and fires or the bridge you're on It doesn't matter This time of year Though darkness comes so quick in time Shortens our days to longer nights Build a blue fire and kneel beside Snowflakes that fall across our eyes It's all that matters This time of year It's all that matters This time of year
This helps me cope to myself to how I'm alone every winter night in December. I would put this on repeat and wrap myself with a blanket; I would slowly start to weep and keep weeping til I fall asleep.
