I'm proud to be a apart of this wandering crowd of kept lovers, always searching for the next video to hold onto, til we have to hunt again. I love this.
This song marked my adolescence, the world was huge and unknown to me, I was an antisocial girl who finally managed to connect with a group where I felt happy, a family. Years passed, everything faded, everyone took their course, life has not been a great thing, I ended up in a mental hospital and once I got out of there I was alone again and in the middle of a global pandemic, it has been sad and strange, it was very symbolic that even the original song had disappeared from youtube, nothing is forever, so listening to this new version, so different, but so close, like a logical continuation, is a beautiful thing, it motivates me to move forward, let go of what no longer exists, embrace it that remains, continue building life, thank you.
I'm so sorry and I know you didn't ask for this. Your comment brought me to tears because I was in a very similar boat a year ago. I just want to tell you it gets so much better. You're building toward something incredible. 💜
Hey! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I'm passing for a hard chapter in my life mostly trying to let go the past and your words touch me "move forward, let go of what no longer exists, embrace it that remains, continue building life" Thanks!
That's a lot of what I think about when I work on my music, actually. I started getting more serious about my music when I was going through a period of great loss, and had to rebuild my life from the ground up. But that challenge forced me to grow, causing me to meet a lot of interesting people and experience things I never even imagined. I'm currently working on a project with other artists that kind of embodies that idea - about self discovery, finding beauty in the ruins, learning to heal and thrive in ways you never expected. That's part of why I was drawn to this track to being with - it's ethereal and dreamy, and I wanted to add momentum to it.
Since the original song got deleted a while back. I just wanna express how much this song means to me and how this remix really makes all of my memories flash to beat. Way back in 2018 my crush best friend at that time showed me this song (the original) and since she was my crush I listened most of the songs she showed me on repeat, This one marked everything, this song became my favourites and I started listening more of crystal castles until CC became one of my all time favourites bands. My crush and I became a couple and this song was really special as it became like our “theme song” at least I see it that way and well it really reminded me of her, we didn’t worked as a couple and all our friendship and closeness we had gone away. Now every time I listen to this song I try and remember most of the times I had with her and how much this song reminds me of her. I just really wish I could turn back time and fix my mistakes, I had never felt the same way since to somebody else. She will forever be in a special place in my heart
Hey! We are in the same place, thinking about a past when things were different and special, and thinking how to change things and it hurts, it hurts so much to not be able to be with that person and at the same time those memories, that are so especial makes you fell awfull becouse it reminds you of what you lost, and that it never would comeback If you wanna talk, hit me pls Hope you doing well, take care and be safe
@@fernandoblanco1471 im glad to hear im not alone! thank you so much yes ofc we can talk, we could share our own experiences! lmk any social you got so i can send u a message btw are u a spanish speaker? by any chance?
Me sorprende ver lo popular que es Crystal Castles, sobre todo entre gente joven. Cuando los escuchaba en prepa, pensé que yo era el único en el mundo que los conocía 😅
I don't know who you are PLvSH, but I'm so happy to find and listen to really good remix's, like this one with "Kept". Why has this particular song, in particular, drilled and stayed with us in our minds? Personally, I don't understand the phenomenology myself, except -- It just does. This even sounds fantastic when slowed... !!! Sometimes, the remixed versions don't always get taken down. The RU-vid "IA", makes sure that exact copies are automatically flagged and dealt with; therefore, I'm sure your relatively safe. "Sub Pop" now own the copyrights for "Kept" and they've been removing exact copies of "Kept" already, if they haven't taken you down by now, then you're safe.
My friend showed the orginal to me, and it's such a vibe. It's kind like being in a dream, you know? I'm really just some gal that likes music, and I'm just trying to learn how to make my own music.
@@plvshbeats I get it, girl... !!! Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins once said, "My music is like walking through a dream" and "I dream of music" - So, just smile at the World, if, they smile back that's fine; however, if they don't - just smile, anyway.
The voice sample was already special to begin with, but I did chop/loop it up even more, sometimes using Ableton's "chopping block" to create that glitchy effect. I borrowed that idea from Japanese EDM :)
The lyrics to kept are samples taken from a few different BeachHouse tracks and spliced them in. The actual lyrics are …. “It’s your world, why would you fake it, these days, go by… “ 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… from - Other People and then it loops “these promises , these promises,” and “write a letter” from -New Year”. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kxFEd09AaNE.html
I don't know what you've been doing since the winter but the fact that you're not still releasing music & mixes is a tragedy. If you ever want help, motivation or encouragement, just type the word. Cooperation and collaboration too, you're talented and so am I. I'm serious, reply or message any time and never stop creating. People are better together and life offers more when ones not alone.
Awww, thank you! That really means a lot to me. Unfortunately I went through a rough patch this spring and I've just started reconnecting with myself recently. Lately I've been trying to come up with something original, but I haven't found what I'm looking for yet.
I know what it means to be stuck in my home and my feet can’t go where I know I’m not in your reach no eyes on me I know what it means to be stuck in my home and my feet can’t go where I know I’m not in your reach
I'm @plvshbeats on nearly everything, including Instagram. We're still working on getting all my socials spun up, so there isn't much there rn! I really just do this for fun, but my friend is trying to help me get my music out there
