Your daughter is a true legend, sir. Thank you for bringing her into this world. I truly feel privileged to live in the same timeline with her. May god endlessly bless you and your family.
It's a bit early to tell if it hits me in the same way that Sparks, PPP, and Majorette do, but I can say that it's at least close to that point right off the bat.
@@Gabriel-qg8mw Did that make you feel better?Superior?You know you're going to end up 6 feet underground one day and no one will care about this utterly pretentious and primitive comment?You have tried to look clever yet you've ended up looking stupid. Well done. Achievement of a lifetime.
Listening to this walking to work on a rainy day here in London. So many things are not right at the moment but this song is like a warm comforting hug today. Thank you Beach House.
The moment that first "backlit up against the wall" hit I knew I was listening to an instant classic. A gorgeous mix of all of their modern eras. Bloom meets Depression Cherry meets Thank Your Lucky Stars meets 7 and it's utterly gorgeous. I'm so thankful to experience this right now and to have this project accompany me trough the coming winter. Love, always. V. 💜
As a long time beach house fan (since 2006), this might be the best thing they’ve done. It’s like Teen Dream, Bloom, and something new all combined into one
I saw them open for Vampire Weekend in St. Pete Fl back in 2008/2009. Been my emotional support animal for that long and forever moving forward. This album is a magnum opus
I certainly think it’s dedicated to someone who passed away "There’s a light going out tonight" the same life coming to an end *look up high, now you’re gone" to the sky where you are now "It may be out of sight but neverout of mind" when someone dies we never see it again but we always remember it. And super star is a way of seeing that person who is no longer among us but is shining in the sky
Probably the best song I've ever heard. Great progression. It's so pretty and despite starting cold ends so warm. Perfect mix of the beach house sadness with a touch of hope. Perfect song imo.
I love Beach House in general, but they have a handful of tracks that are just perfect. This is one. A 6+minute pop song that goes exactly as long as it needs to, gorgeous every second.
This song means so much to me. I was on the verge of suicide about 3 years ago. I never once in my life ever tought I could even think about suicide. I always was a hardworking person looking for new things to learn. After multiple failures in my professionnal career, financial and investment mistakes that cost me greatly, a chronic porn addiction that came back after 5 years without watching any. The cycle of shame and loneliness was so overwhelming. I couldn't see the end of it. A close friend of mine knew I was in great pain and went out is way to shake me up. I started back to the basics. Workout, train martial arts, go to work but on a lighter schedule, spend time with my family and friends. I kept busy and my social life got better, my mental health also did. Then I met my girlfriend. An angel that gave me back a part of my soul. The joy to live and spend time with people. Everything was so blend for such a long time but she made things fun again. She gave me a purpose. I was living for myself only for so long... forgot how It's so important amd satisfying to share the reward of hardwork. 2 years together now and we're trying for our first baby. The first time I heard this song, I melted in tears in my girlfriends arm. Never felt this grateful in my life. Such a cathartic experience. Everytime I listen to it I tear up.
hey man, its good seeing you doing okay. remember there will always be light, and tomorrow always comes. feeling comes and go, my man. be happy, be well.
There's a light going out tonight Driving fast Flashing lines It's too late now to say goodbye The stars were there In our eyes When you were mine We fell across the sky Backlit, up against the wall Out there on the run You're not the only one Shadow from the sun Somewhere out on the radio Look up high Now you're gone I see it now in this photograph Something good Never meant to last I don't wanna know how the story ends From now to then When you were mine We fell across the sky It may be out of sight but never out of mind Out there on the run You're not the only one Shadow from the sun Backlit, up against the wall Superstar, shining far When you were mine We fell across the sky It may be out of sight but never out of mind Out there on the run You're not the only one Shadow from the sun Backlit, up against the wall Superstar, shining far When you were mine It may be out of sight, but never out of mind Backlit, up against the wall Superstar, shining far (super star, star, star, star)
"Something good... never meant to last." There's just something about the way Vic delivers that line. She brings such a wistfulness to her vocals that no other singer can quite do for me. She can make even the most bland lines on paper shine in context.
When I find a masterpiece I feel like this life worths living again. My life really would be empty without music, I feel all those emotions better and deeper when I'm listening to music and finding pieces from my life in music or feeling understood, these are the best things.

I was going through one of the best times and worst times in my life when I discovered this song, album and really Beach House as a whole. I will always cherish that moment despite everything.
As a 40-year drummer raised on Stewart Copeland and Neil Peart, I may have found the perfect drum part. The real drums catapult this song into the stratosphere -- where it deserves to be.
This track continues to provide surprises with further listens. It glimmers and buzzes and fuzzes under the current and hits all of the right spots at the right moments. While there are 14 tracks to go, this is going to end up being one of their absolute best once the dust settles on this new album experience. I will always love Beach House!
This is one of the best songs ever. Period. It’s nostalgic, sentimental, beautiful, calming, soothing and perfect. This is the song that just takes me away and unlocks emotions that I didn’t even know existed. 10/10.
its incredible how other songs this long (or even shorters) can seem quite annoying, repetitive, tedious. but the length of this song feels just perfect. im amazed and i cant wait to see them live next month
The older Victoria and Alex get, the longer the songs go. I love it! P.S. to the woman of my life who is listening to the song too: We will find us. No worries my dear!
Never has a song made me cry before, this is the first time a song has made me cry. Such a beautiful song. As soon as I heard backlit up against the wall, I knew I was gonna remember this song for the rest of my life.
You're my superstar shining far And if you believe in fate & god Hold on tight Let the storm pass If there's a god and there's fate Something good will happen again
Can't help but wonder if they took some stylistic inspiration from the Carpenters - the cover for Once Twice Melody reminds very much of The Carpenters logo, and of course they also have a song called Superstar as well.
I love this band so much and OTM has a lot of their best material ever - Superstar in particular. This song really highlights all of their strengths in one, refined to perfection. The instrumental - it starts so simple yet effective, like many of their instrumentals are, but they take it to new heights across the song - with its mournful echoing vocals, gently throbbing beat and walls of cascading electronics, it builds and builds across the song into that incredible finish, and whilst its development is subtle the way the instrumental moves even as it's not developing so much gives the song an incredible sense of motion - it reminds me of Levitation in that regard. It's truly one of their best-written, most magical songs to date. Of course though, the star of the show here is Victoria's singing and writing. They've done heartbroken songs like this before but one thing that really makes it stand out is her delivery. If you consider something like Other People's vocals to be a wail of grief, as she bellows in her upper register about lost love, this by comparison is one of her most dejected and resigned vocal performances, with a real sense of finality to it. I can't think of a time her vocals have gone this low on a song and it really works on selling the song here. There's also the matter of her lyrics - Beach House have this incredible knack for writing lyrics that are poetic without being pretentious or overbearing, universal without feeling generic or empty, and I think that really shows here. This song to me was clearly written about a breakup (fitting given their past and present thematic content, of course) but it's written such that it can refer to basically any sort of cessation of a close interpersonal relationship. Not just a breakup, but two friends falling away from one another for good, a loved one passing, etc. - and despite being rather general like that, no matter how you read it, it hits so incredibly hard. This song has hit close to home for me in particular right now as I wrestle with my feelings over a friend, and I've cried to it a lot. I love this song. I love this album. I love Beach House. Thank you for the amazing music over the years as well as all the feelings, memories and experiences your music has soundtracked.
I listened to that when I was quarantining in a hotel for 21 days when I was travelling back to my own country to visit my father who died a month later. I will always remember that period of time.
I discovered Beach House only a few months ago -- just in time for a new album. It was meant to be! How I missed them for so long, I don't know. I've been listening to this type of music for like 3 decades. Whatever, add one more BH fan.
I've been listening to Beach House since the beginning of highschool and throughout some of the most horrid moments of my life thus far. I'm 21 now and they're still touching my soul and remind me that my life is art even in those dark/ numb moments of time. Thank you guys for your immensely amazing, pure art. It's really been the only good thing for me so many times and has been my motivation to stay creating.
This song is hauntingly beautiful, reminds me of good memories from 2022, full of nostalgic wonder and a blissful adventure. Beach House’s music transcends through the soul. 💙
I’ve been fully disconnected from every entanglement of society... I’m finding my true self but it’s taking some time. That’s alright though because I have a trillion more years to come.. although, when I do pass on I’m sure I’ll still shine in my loved ones minds because of how distant I am. My light will eventually fade out as do all of the best superstars!
What a lovely melodic set of songs. I’ve noticed two enhancements they’ve made : firstly the lyrics are really clear and secondly the use of strings really rounds out the sound. Great work Beach House.
I can’t tell if I prefer Superstar over Once Twice Melody, but both of them along with the rest of the album are very wonderful, thank you Beach House!
My childhood dog passed away yesterday, and a close friend of mine did a month ago. I’m listening to this song on the train and watching every house and tree and car pass by. Thank you for making such a beautiful song
It's amazing how healing and real music can be. It's like walking on clouds, but for real. Love you Beach House. You helped me to survive...many times.
My good friend died in September and his parents never had a funeral or even an obituary for him because they were ashamed of his cause of death. I was texting him the night before he died. Probably minutes before he passed. I never got to see him one last time at a service and it made me so sad. I found this song literally a day after he passed and it brought out so many emotions. I still listen to it weekly just to feel closer to him. I love you Ian. Rest in peace buddy ❤️
What a gem. I’m so in love with the new album and this song in particular. Beach House made great albums from the first to the last. This last One is particularly beautiful
প্রথম যখন এই গানটা শুনি আমার খুব মেলানকোলিক লেগেছিল । যা কিছু সুন্দর , চিরস্থায়ী নয় । যা রে চোখে হারাই আমরা , তারে আবার মনে খুঁজে পাই । সেইসব স্মৃতিময় দিনের কথা মনে পড়ে যায় কেবল । ক্রমশ হৃদয় বিষণ্ণতায় ভরে ওঠে । ভালো মূহুর্তের সাথীরা - ভালো থেকো উজ্জ্বল তারা রা
This reminds me so much of my father he unfortunately passed away from covid a few days ago and I miss him so much. I just wish I could've have known so I could tell him how much I love him. I miss you everyday dad i love you so much.
