2:54 to the end is pure bliss, absolutely unbelievable- the melody going up and down the scale at 3:16… and then the added background vocals at 3:27… overwhelming
This song is my current obsession. From 2:55 onward, the texture they create through layering is awe-inspiring. The synths, Victoria's voice, the guitar melodies...what a song.
CLCHRD Alice was just as much crystal castles as Ethan was. She was instrumental in creating many of the lyrics of my favorite songs. Ethan makes great music yes, but he should have continued under a new name. To replace Alice was a spit in her face.
[Verse 1] So you thought it would happen Good love, goodbye I know where no one can reach you No, I don't mind [Pre-Chorus] It's your world, why would you fake it? These days go by As you turn around oh, oh, oh [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Heaven won't keep us together Right place at the wrong time It takes all kinds of weather Distant blue skies [Pre-Chorus] Somewhere no one can reach us These days go by As you turn around oh, oh,
was playing this album on shuffle then heard of this and I got goosebumps recognizing the vocal wavelength and how this was sampled from crystal castles - kept
Ending lyrics: Chin up Please stay with me Oh, my love Just stay with your girl I’ve played this song at various different speeds. I’ve also downloaded it and isolated the vocals, which finally revealed the lyrics at the end. Play the song at .75x speed to hear this more clearly. The humming in the background at normal speed makes it sound like “cheer up, these days come and go” but it’s actually “chin up, please stay with me.” It’s a conversation between two lovers at the end. - Him: “Was it ever quite enough?” - Her: “Chin up” - Him: “Please stay with me” - Her: “Oh, my love, please stay with your girl” The lover saying “was it ever quite enough?” and “please stay with me” has a woman he is partnered with, but his true love is the woman in the song with whom he cannot be with anymore due to current unfortunate circumstances, or just the sad reality that they are not destined to be together. This is inferred from the earlier lyric “heaven won’t keep us together”, a lyric which could also mean that even if it’s “heaven” when they are alone with another, it’s not enough to keep them together. Imagine the man standing in front of his true love, looking down at the ground, while he asks her: “Was it ever quite enough?” She responds with: “Chin up” (chin up being the common phrase which means to stay cheerful and hopeful during difficult times). He looks her in the eyes at this point, and says: “Please stay with me” She responds: “oh, my love, please stay with your girl.” She heartbreakingly says this to him, and he of course is also heartbroken. This makes sense as the whole song is about the deep desire two lovers have to run away from the world and be together. HOWEVER: If you listen to them live, Victoria Legrand sometimes sings: You know Just say what you know Oh, my love Just stay this night.
dude, you wouldn't know how grateful I am for this comment. I swear those bg vocals have been my absolute favorite part of bloom for YEARS now and I've been trying to figure out what victoria says every time I listen to this track. tysm
These are the end lyric’s lmfaooooo Don't you know who's standing by me?) (Oh, my love, just can't let you go) Was it ever quite enough? (Don't you know who's standing by me?) (Oh, my love, just can't let you go)
@@generalmalaise2930 these are the lyrics Don't you know who's standing by me?) (Oh, my love, just can't let you go) Was it ever quite enough? (Don't you know who's standing by me?) (Oh, my love, just can't let you go)
This song is just incredible on so many levels. Each instrument could stand alone as it’s own gorgeous song. The deep base especially is quite possibly the best baseline I’ve ever heard.
OK...that's the second time I've cried while listening to this song. It simply overloads my emotional sensors. Not in a sad way, just a very powerful one.
I have seen Beach House twice in concert. Not that I want to pass away anytime soon, I can now die, a happy man. I love your music. You’re one in a million.
Lyrics So you thought it would happen Good luck goodbye I know when no one can reach you No I don't mind It's your word 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 its not enough Never thought that it would mean so much Other people want to keep in touch Help me keep us together Right place at the wrong time It takes all kinds of weather Clear slate blue skies So what 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 its not enough Never thought that it would mean so much Other people want to keep in touch Wasn't ever quite enough
I forgot about this song. It’s good to hear it again. Used to vibe, dance in my room, take long walks, and did whatever my teen self did with this song.. I’m surprised no one ever told me to turn my music down… wow. I came a long way.
i know how you feel man, i know how it feels trying to move on. it feels like never ending pain but it’ll go away i promise, you’ll get through these rough times bro you got this
I left my only love. So she could find better. 4 years and she was crushed to say the least but it crushed me more. I am an addict and that was the reason i would let her down from time to time but she didnt understand. She was my ride or die AND STILL supported me and loved me but i just had to take care of this 13 year old monkey and it broke my heart to realize i chose my first love over her. I still think about her everyday and hope she finds what shes looking for because she is a beacon of love and positivity and only deserves the best. Which unfortunately was not me. She did not understand at first but after a few months she has come to terms with it and while we still are in contact its like talking to a shell of the person i knew for years bc i hurt her so much and she has to put that shield up maybe to not let herself get hurt again. Idk where im going w this.. thank you for being you and i hope u find what you're looking for OP. Love yourself most importantly. ❤
Lyrics :D 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 its 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 nothing could reach us These days go by As you turn around-ow-ow-ow Other people want to keep in touch Something happens and its not enough Never thought that it would mean so much Other people want to keep in touch Was it ever quite enough Was it ever quite enough Was it ever quite enough Was it ever quite enough Was it ever quite enough
wow wtf, as a die hard CC fan I've listened to kept an ungodly amount of times yet it just took seeing the comments on this video for me to even recognize ethan sampled this song..... i can hardly even tell at all. both great songs though.
Top draw, within the genre, not unlike Crystal Castle, Broadcast - Tender Buttons, Ha Ha Sounds, Tame Impala, Kirsty Hawking - Fine Day; so much incredible talent, out there
Holy Fuck, you just reminded me of one of my all time favorite songs.. i remember when that dropped, but nowadays there are too many branches of genres cause there are too many good songs available. Fine Day indeed
Today was the first time seeing the word 'situationship' be used irl and it turns out I am not a part of the situation. Good thing I found this song yesterday
2024 anyone? I was dealing with mad depression when I first ran into this band back in 2011 if not mistaken. Off a mixtape on SoundCloud. What a different life I'm living now. Glad I made it...
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? Was it ever quite enough? Was it ever quite enough? Was it ever quite enough? Was it ever quite enough?
