stillonmystringOMG. Beach House. How have I not realized how amazing they are until now?!? I've listened to them a couple times in the past and couldn't figure out why they were so universally loved. But I downloaded their upcoming album just for the hell of it pretty much and am completely in love with it. It's so moody and retro and sensual. And Victoria's voice is pretty much orgasmic. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Now I have to listen to their other albums and realize what an idiot I was for not liking them the first time.
Also, this song. I'll not listen to it for awhile and forget how FUCKING AMAZING it is and then hear it and fall in love all over again. This happened recently. I am so simultaneously excited/nervous for their new album. I mean, how in the world are they going to top Illuminate?!? I have faith in them but it just seems like such an impossible task, you know? (Even though this song isn't even on that album.)
This place is going dead
So snap our picture, let's go down outside
You're so perfect in pink
Black bracelet, I could never forget
So let's drink up tonight
You say, you say it, it's running through my veins
Well, please stay safe, you're seventeen
Limousine will take us to meet the crowds
Never seen room for mistake
But your best way out was her
Dresses and alcohol join
I'll bring you back to your car first
So why we cry?
And we will soon forget
Now we're safe and so sound
I can hear your heartbeat, she whispers in the car
Well, travel east until you see Ironwood
Now it's understood, it's finally kicked in
And as we stop by this gathering of fire at the rocks
I've forgotten this whole world and here's to one more
A story told to scare, a tale to replace words of no real meaning
And such awful tasteless lips
Dresses and alcohol join
I'll bring you back to your car first
So why we cry?
And we will soon forget
Let's say we were better than our bodies were found
And I saw her but there she goes and there she goes
Her bright face, black smile, we can't change that
I never knew that a night could end so, so, so, so
So there we were minutes from making it
Celebrate we're finally done and gone
And though this highway is all too long
One more mile to the hotel
This music's soft and it sounds so good to me
You taste of liquor but who will care?
I almost fought to the death yet death had come to this fight
Look, look, now let's see who...
One twenty-two, I softly worried
Not saying a word to the driver
Just sing your favorite verse out of key
I still think it sounds, you sound so good to me
I bet you love me now
Now that you've had your drinks
It's been fun but it's always...
This girl loves fear
This can wait, I can't stay
He said it's up here on the right
Wait, no, I don't know, it's safe
Where did you go when... ?
Now all I see are faces, pale to the touch
Close your eyes and sing, we're lost
But the car had too much force to it
And the road is so unforgiving
Windows shatter like dust and make
Glass streets and something for our feet
But she asked can we slow down
Traffic is time so we drove and we drove and we drove
'Cause all we lost was years
Oh well, think of this, think of me
We will soon forget
