Beach House came into my life a few years ago. The first song I ever heard from them was actually Myth and it blew my mind! And soon after, I discovered Depression Cherry, and it literally saved my life, when I was going through a dark time mentally a few years ago. If you ever listen to that album, you’ll understand the power and magic it has, and I just thank you Beach House, for coming into my life at the right moment ❤️

One of my favorite albums of all time, and your reactions were all on-point and such a joy to watch. This is an absolutely brutal breakup album, and so is their album just before this, Teen Dream. One you'll either want to steer totally clear of next time you experience a breakup, or one to sink into and just let those feelings subsume you.

HOLD UP... your comment about Hurricane Irene made me realize that the silence between the main song and the hidden track was like the eye of the storm passing over, where everything was chaos, became still and silent, and then started up again once the eye had passed... idk if that's right, but in my mind it makes sense :)
@toast4648Ай бұрын
I always understood Irene being about death. The first half talks about death coming and wanting to stay, then reassuring you that death is a strange paradise with ideas of an afterlife. However we dont truly know what happens after death, and it could truly just be nothing. Nothing but silence. But then the music comes back, because there’s always the chance there is a ‘strange paradise’ waiting, the kind of paradise you like.

lets fucking go! you're a real one for reacting to this! Bloom is my second favorite BH album and I love it so much, but my personal favorite BH album is their debut/self titled, the reason being is because of the nostalgia I get from it and theres this melancholic cozy warm aspect to it that just makes it my personal fav so i highly recommend to give it a listen if youd like. The album is also very underrated and many people dont really care for it but idk maybe youd like it. Keep at it your vids make my day man!
@koob_9 ай бұрын
I’d definitely listen to Teen Dream, then Depression Cherry. Teen Dream was extremely influential in the music world and it’s kinda where Beach House “found” their sound. Kendrick samples a song from Teen Dream and Tame Impala was extremely inspired by this album (“Feels Like We Only Go Backwards” was written as a continuation of “Walk in the Park”!)

Hey Smags, great reaction. You’ve already reacted to some of my fav albums of all time, so thanks for doing so! If you loved Bloom then you’ll love the rest of Beach House’s discography as well. They are one of the most consistent bands in their sound I’ve ever heard, and every album is quality. I suggest trying out “The Resistance” by Muse, I think out of all their albums this is the one most up your alley! (You’ll have fun with arpeggios 😂)

This is my favorite album of all time. I believe they said this album was an exploration of abstract ideas and feelings they had while touring on their breakout album Teen Dream. My favorite track is for sure Other people, the way I interpret it is how beautiful connection and community is and that fact that we can just connect with other people is something we can take for granted very easily. If you liked this is definitely recommend listening to Teen Dream, Bloom definitely back pedals on the sound of that album but Teen Dream feels more lush while Bloom feels more electric
