Wow I remember my sister loved crystal castles as a teenager. When I got my first iPod, she put on all of her crystal castles songs. I used to listen to this and Vanished on repeat every night.
This makes me feel like you were sucked into an arcade game and you're at the end, while all the characters you've adventured with are bugging out as you fight the final boss, this song starts playing as you exit the arcade game, only to look back on the screen and see darkness, the game deleted; you being the only one to have shared the adventure and memories with the in-depth game characters'. The song invokes a depressing nostalgic feeling, as if remembering all of those you've lost along your either horrid, or beautiful adventure.
9 years later, I'm here to say that there doesn't need to be a "why" when liking something. Sometimes you just like something. Sometimes there's subconscious noise that you can trace back to early interests in your life, but even those are subject to just being at the "right" place at the "right" time. There's no real reason for anything :D Which makes the experience of liking something even more wonderful, honestly.
this song is rhe song that got me into an extremely happy habit. in 2020 i would blast this song in the backyard (i was about 8-9) i got so addicted to listenibg to this song outside i got headphones and everyday i would go outside and listen to music, no matter the weather or time, i started losing weight from how i walked every day, enjoyed nature, i even started to plan on being a meteorologist!! music and weather was everything to me back thwn, i started to find my favorite artists, started to find myself at peace alone outisde, Im actually outside right now wandering around my tree like i have been for 4 years. this song deserves a thank you from me, i dont know what wouldve happened if i didnt have this coping mechanism ^_^
I just wanted to say that, man, this song made 2020 a much more bearable year for me, thank you crystal castles for providing such an incredible vibe in the songs.
Crystal Castles ha sido parte de mi vida, he escuchado sus canciones en los momentos mas bajos y depresivos de mi persona, y estoy agradecido de haber conocido esta banda ya que fue es y será parte de lo que soy, es increbile como un ritmo o letra puede generar sentimientos tan fuertes, simplemente de escuchar esta cancion me dan escalofrios en la espalda es increible
omg a 80 synth exploration brought me to this song, a song and band i have listen to maybe a billion time as a young teenager, and completely forgotten... Wow! nostalgia at its finest.
Listening to this album for the first time in over 8 years, because I'm contemplating buying iy on vinyl (already have it on CD)... Listening back to it, I feel their debut album is their best and most fresh release.
I'm glad I could find this. I kept hearing it, not knowing what it was, and loved it. This is good music. Also, I found out what it was called from a Jacob Geller video. He makes good stuff. Video essays about games, usually.
А я наткнулся только недавно, при прослушивании на меня нахлынывают странные чувства… Мне больно, и одновременно тепло на душе… Crystal Castle - удивительный дуэт и прекрасные музыканты, что погубили сами себя… Печальный исход.
I heard this song for the first time in 2021 and since that song I have become a fan of this band because of their songs, I really like all of them and I even have a crystal castles playlist ♥︎
You're in the ship now. You don't recognize this structure or it's inhabitants but you can tell what's living and what's part of the ship itself. You recognize speech patterns that sound humanoid but they are unintelligible. You hope whatever's in store for you won't be severely unpleasant.
Eyes lit On sharp threats From dark lips The lights press The soft skin To rough hands Those are the actual lyrics, they're repeated throughout, distorted and overlaid Just listen to 3:38 and you will hear it clearly.
The wrong lyrics which I nevertheless choose to hear: Eyes lit I'm on short breaths I adore my lips Nice breasts Like the summer Into rough hands Makes it sound like the slightly surreal confession of an AI hooker from Night City.
I remember my roommate playing this back in 2013 while I was studying in Tokyo. Completely forgot about CC until 2020 when I was at a friend's house and he put it on randomly, then a flood of memories from that time came back.

This was the first crystal castles song I heard ever and was obsessed ever since. It's such a Poppy upbeat song with melancholy melody's in between and it's so fucking good. So fucking good.
Man, I heard this for the first time playing Watchdogs 2, and my girlfriend shouted, "hey! That's Crystal Castles!" which is one of her favorite bands. Man this song became the anthem of the game for me, every time I play Watchdogs 2, I start this song. It's fun to race around SF, pulling off sick drifts to this.
this song makes me wanna host a pool party sometime during the summer , with bright neon lights and hella LSD + pot with speakers blasting this song heheh
I‘ll always remember how buffled I was when crystal castles had an appearance in the show Skins (in form of a concert where a lot was going on). It reminds me of youth. Just like skins.
I literally scoured Jacob Geller's channel for the video with this song playing for like 3 seconds so I could look at his sources and find the song and holy shit it took all night but that channel is really fucking good so I didn't mind watching all those videos again.
this song has vibes of like summer in the 1980s in an abandoned amusement park alone or like downing in an abandoned swimming pool that’s filled with graffiti
