This song is perfectly placed on a border between melancholy and sheer happiness.

Perfect song to drive to at night while it rains

“you can’t keep hanging on to what is dead and gone, if you build yourself a myth, know just what to give; materialize or let the ashes fly”

One of the best feelings is when you find exactly the song you need..after going through a period of not finding any music that quite satisfies you.There is nothing like it!

my dog died in my arms today. he was old so i had him put down. i just cant stop crying as i remember seeing the life leaving his eyes. this song will forever be associated with that moment. im so sad

This song makes me feel like I'm in the eye of a hurricane. So peaceful, but surrounding me is destruction and rain. It makes me feel so depressed and nostalgic, but in the greatest way possible. I have yet to find another song that has this effect on me that isn't made by beach house. Love it

In Literature Class at the University of Michigan, an amazing instructor named Janet Michelena taught us that Myth is a human attempt to overcome our Reality, and that Naming gives us a sense of control over people and things and events. This incredible song radiates that feeling of rolling the stone of Sisyphus up the hill. Although the stone may roll back on us over and over again, and our repeated attempts may seem futile, it is our determination to keep trying and never to quit that grants us dignity and a sense of inner tranquility. This song can overcome us with melancholy and sadness, but ultimately also provides a sense of peace deeper than the Ocean...

This is the feeling when you begin quarantine as an introvert thinking that the solitude is wonderful, but then you realize months later, of all the fun you've had, you've still just been alone.

I hear a lot of people describe Beach House as "calm" or "relaxing" and that's always perplexed me. To me it's intense; it demands the listener's attention and evokes a visceral emotional response. It captures that indescribable feeling that's melancholy, pensive. It's simultaneously happy and sad, hopeless and hopeful. It brings to light that unsettling, confusing, and conflicting feeling, and, not only that, but takes advantage of the mezmerizing and hypnotizing power it has over people and abuses it. It brings it to the forefront of the listener's mind and puts them in a constant state of confusion and discomfort. I've always had a hard time describing why I like beach house so much because in all honesty, their music DOESN'T make me happy. But it doesn't make me sad either. It's very multifaceted, it makes me feel an array of emotions but something about it is so captivating and addictive that I keep coming back to it. Edit: Wow guys I wasn't expecting to get this many likes, thank you for the kind words ❤️❤️❤️ I'm happy this resonated with so many people Edit 2: Guys please stop saying this comment is overly dramatic, cringe, or sounds like I'm trying too hard to be deep, lmao I know. I was 15 when I wrote it so chill. I know it sounds cringe but I keep it up because it resonates with a lot of people and it is somewhat of a reminder of where I was in my life and specifically with my taste in music 4 years ago. Being cringe is part of life and I'm sure you were at 15 too so chill.

Drifting in and out You see the road you're on It came rolling down your cheek You say just what you mean And in between it's never as it seems Help me to name it Help me to name it If you built yourself a myth You'd know just what to give What comes after this Momentary bliss The consequence of what you do to me Help me to name it Help me to name it Found yourself in a new direction Arrows falling from the sun Canyon calling would they come to greet you Let you know you're not the only one Can't keep hanging on To what is dead and gone If you built yourself a myth You'd know just what to give Materialize Or let the ashes fly Help me to name it Help me to name it

hello, anyone reading this. I've been listening to this music a lot lately, when the country where I live is not doing well. This song is like comfort for me personally.

Every new year i listen to this song as the first song of my year, been a tradition since 2020. Here's to another beautiful year. Thank you beach house

This song makes me feel something so familiar to me, known for many years and I don't know what it is. Maybe loneliness, memories, a train, a long road.

This really helps me calm down when I have anxiety

The tune at 3:53 is just filled with so much pain and nostalgia at the same time, shivers ran down my spine. This song just fills my heart with memories of the good old days. lucky I came across it.

Listening to this song when you’re going through this profound sadness and loneliness that you can’t describe and that I would never share with anybody

I've always had a weakness for dream pop.

I discovered the song when a beautiful girl I once knew introduced me to Beach House. She is long gone from my life, yet this song will always remain.

The perfect song

Lyrics: Drifting in and out See the road you're on You came rolling down the cheek You say just what you need And in between It's never as it seems Help me to name it Help me to name it If you built yourself a myth You'd know just what to give What comes after this Momentary bliss The consequence Of what you do to me Help me to name it Help me to name it Found yourself in a new direction Arrows falling from the sun Can you come? Would they come to breach you? Let you know you're not the only one You can't keep hangin' on To all that's dead and gone If you built yourself a myth You'd know just what to give Do you lie? Oh, let the ashes fly Help me to name it Help me to name it

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, introduced to me by one of the most beautiful people I've ever known. Though we've drifted apart, this song will forever be almost too painful to listen to, but at the same time as essential to my survival as air or water. I'd never heard anything like it before, it was like seeing a rainbow for the first time. I can't explain the feeling it brings me - a familiarity but also the feeling that I've found something new that I've always been searching for, even though I don't know what it is. It's like it completes me or fills in some missing puzzle piece. The chord changes are heartbreaking, the last 30 seconds are an assault to my senses that leaves me with goosebumps and tears. I don't know if any of this makes sense or if anyone else will ever even read it... I needed to express this. I miss you, NE. I'll love you for the rest of my life.

I love the fact that when she says, "Help me to make it", she really isn't talking to anybody in particular. The person who has so much control over her(what you do to me), does not seem like the same person that would listen to her problems. Her cries seem really more like an exasperated interjection than an actual call to somebody that she cares for. She's lonelier than she lets on.

It's hard to let go, Andrea. I'll let the ashes fly. I love you. Rest In Peace.

this song reminds me of finally letting yourself cry when you get home & are away from your friends & you just start to break down . idk .

When I first heard this song I was driving and had to pull over cause I couldn't handle it. It's one of those experiences I take very seriously in this time of very little talent on the radio. I just wanted to soak it all in and hope to always remember where exactly I was in the world and what I was going through at the time. It was a good decision lol

Heard this on flights to both Barcelona and then to Paris. It will forever remind me of the memories made in both beautiful cities.

It’s 4:03 in the morning, I finally got to lay down on my back after a hectic day. Made my bed while listening to Beach House songs. Now that the lights are off, only a faint ray of street light is peeping through my balcony, this song is hitting me on a whole new level. I can't describe anymore how I am feeling right now. I feel like crying but it's neither out of sadness nor happiness. I think this is how one feels when s/he truly feels the song.

How on earth can a song invoke every emotion at once? I have never had a song do that to me, until now. Unbelievable

Why do I feel this way?

Saw Beach House live last night and I saw one of the most romantic scenes ever while this song was played. A couple next to me sitting on the grass on the hill we were on in front of the stage pulled out a joint, smoked it and then laid back looking into the sky and zoning out while smiling and holding hands. Few times have I ever seen happiness and bliss as pure as that.

This song describes me in a certain way: I'm still hanging on to someone that's gone but not dead, and I built a myth about her which really gave me some momentarily bliss, but the consequence was much harder to take.. It cost me to be unfair to my family. I wish I never knew that girl because I can't get her out of my mind

This song made me reason with my depression, gave me flashbacks of my childhood, the pain of my parents fighting, losing my sister, losing my friends, finding my true friend, appreciate and hate life, learn to breath, this song gives deep sadness yet hope, there is absolutely no words to describe this song. Every time I hear this song I cry. It gives hope.

Dream pop is right. Beautiful.

this song is looking back on all the shit that's happened to you and bursting into tears of joy at the same time; joy over how fucking lucky you are to be alive and to have lived through all of your wonderful memories. this song is being terribly afraid of the future while knowing that in the end, everything will be alright, as you fall into a soft bed like at the end of every single hard day, only that this one time, it will be permanent. this song is seeing pictures in your head not knowing whether they are memories from your childhood or just dreams from when you were a kid. this song is suddenly seeing the petrol station in your hometown in front of your inner eye, it's dark and stormy and there's rain on car windows, it's that same station you passed every time you walked to the cinema with your mum or went to buy sweets on Sunday evenings. this song is remembering how much your mother did for you and tearing up at the thought of how lonely she is now, how lonely she has been all her life without being able to notice it earlier.

I used to listen to this song many times in a very bad time of my life, and now everytime I hear it, it gives me an overwhelming amount of emotions. Some of them are good and some are bad. I always end up crying listening to it. Bad times still happen in my life. But crying helps me relieving the pain I am in. I am glad this song still helps me. It is a beatiful piece of music.

I’ve returned to this song….. 6 years after hearing it for the first time…. Still moves me…you don’t need the details

How can people dislike such a beautiful song?

Her voice is amaaaaazing

I had relationship with a man 50yrs old, 30yrs older than me, and I’m a man as well… I loved him so much… I cannot describe the feeling and he loved me so much, his affection… I was the happiest, unfortunately, He left this world… Every day, Every minute, Every second I remember him saying : Will you remember me? Will I be able to feel ur love? When I listen to the song, lyrics say : Of what do u to me!? It hurts me inside. Love exists in every gender. We cannot feel other people and can never control our feelings.

I've read many comments, and they express what this song is and how it affects me. The universal power of a good song. Thank you Beach House and all the people here, that are brave enough to write their emotions.

I was gazing at the moon when this song started playing on the radio. It was a luminous feeling, but at the same time heartfelt and mysterious. It was a good first impression.

saw them live yesterday and it was all magic, especially when that song came on

Can't explain how much I love Beach House.. and how much they've gotten me through my toughest times. I'll be listening to Beach House forever & always 💗

I got my dad into BeachHouse and he showed this song to me and fell in love it’s so perfect !

How is it possible for a song to make you feel so in love with nothing in particular for it to make you feel SO much..?

Beach House is so special. I think the best word to describe their music is 'picturesque' - listening to their songs really is like exploring a new landscape, a walk in the forest (or in the park :) sorry for that). I'd urge you to check out the artist Seaside as well if you enjoy Beach House, especially the songs Away and Sweetest Love - they conjure up that same feeling for me, lush landscapes (and lovely music).

First time I heard this song, I literally froze. Those ticking sound on the first seconds of the song, give me some sort of visual images, like a slide show, that keep showing me different picture of my happiest and saddest memories each time the piano hit the notes. All these pictures move so fast for me to process it. All I know at the end of the song I was overwhelmed by so much emotions. Never cried for such a rare moment like this before. It was beautiful

Drove to work everyday with my dad while he was sick. We listened to this a lot. He was old fashioned but he thought this was a beautiful song. I miss him everyday. His memory feels sort of like a myth now, it's been so long without him.

Martino and Niccolo.

When I close my eyes and listen, it makes me feel like I'm out of this world. Such an amazing song!

HOW AM I NOW JUST DISCOVERING THIS MASTERPIECE?!

First heard this song on 2 tabs, absolutely blissful/euphoric/nostalgic/satisfying vibes like I’ve never experienced before. My favorite song ever.

Thank you Ms Becker for playing this song in class while everyone works😊

This song means so much to me. I recently lost a friend to suicide and I know this isnt the actual meaning of the song but when it says fall back into place i wish i could just fall back into a time when they were still around. Why'd you have to leave me? Rip and i'll miss u buddy

This song should be as popular as space song.

I always remembered my dad playing this and I was always fascinated by his music, and I remember once finding the music disc when I was 7 and I immediately placed it in the disc holder and read the song title, since then I come back to this song to think about all the things I have achieved in the past. So nostalgic yet so indescribable, this is the perfect song for concentration.

Awesome song, one of those random songs you just one day find

sweet sadness

I can't find words to describe how beautiful and wonderful this music is

This song gives me goosebumps. Beautiful song.

I could listen to this song on repeat for hours- no, days- and I'd never get tired of the feeling it gives me. I love that music can do this to you. it gives me hope for some odd reason

if a dream were made of clouds...this song is lovely

I’ve never sobbed at a show like I did when I saw Beach House live. I love them so much

This song is so magical. I feel like I am transcending to some other universe

favorite beach house song hands down out of all their albums and everything. It's just so mesmerizing so orgasmic such a hidden gem in the music world.

OFFICIAL LYRiCS: Drifting in and out/you see the road you're on/It came rolling down your cheek/you say just what you mean/and in between its never as it seems/Help me to name it, help me to name it/If you built yourself a myth you'd know just what to give/what comes after this momentary bliss the consequence Of what you do to me help me to name it help me to name it/Found yourself in a new direction arrows falling from the sun/ Canyon calling would they come to greet you/ let you know you're not the only one/can't keep hanging on to what is dead and gone/materialize or let the ashes fly/help me to name it help me to name it

Anyone else burst into tears when listening to this song? It’s amazing!

I absolutely love this band. I remember the first time I heard this song. I was homeless busking in Milwaukee camping under the bridge in riverwest just happy to be free and to be able to play music.

This song is majestic.

I used to listen to this all the time in the summer of 2014. It makes me feel like I've been through some shit but towards the end, I finally stand up for something. Also lowkey, makes me think of that special someone. God I wish i go back in time in the summer.

this song is the definition of hitting you in your soul. at your core. bringing out your deepest emotions to the forefront, to shake hands with you and force you to confront it. seriously one of the most beautiful songs ever. a masterpiece. this is their masterpiece. it needs to be more known

Just amazing. I've listened to this song many times before, but just now I realize how magical it is. The connection I had today with this song has woken something in my soul, that it's starting to flourish. Thank you Beach House, you have no idea how much this means to me.

Always amazing when a 5 year old song still gives you chills every time you hear it.

This song is so calming and beautiful and so perfect in the nicotino reunion scene 💖

The first BH song I ever heard, the beginning of a very personal, musical adventure. Thank you BH for existing, you're the reason I want to become a musician and a singer. It was a dream come true to see you guys live. You'll probably never read this but thank you for all the moments

Don't *ever* let Tiktok find this. 14 year olds: Needs 3x more reverb & then play at 50% speed, then put it over a clip of something with really quiet base audio so all you hear is mutilated music, use the same audio on 10,000 videos We gotta make sure we delay that day as long as possible fellas, I think this is the most beautiful song I've heard

I just took a heroic dose of mushrooms and this song, as well as another one of their songs, “Silver Soul,” came on during one of the more intense portion of the trip as I was settling into the experience. It’s worth mentioning that I’d listened to these songs many times before, but this time was so much different. I truly wish I could come up with the words to capture how intensely majestic and ethereal of an experience listening to them again on a high dose of psychedelics was, and I know I cannot, but I will give some brief thoughts. My entire body felt a deep, powerful warmth gently rush over it that I will never forget for as long as I live, and I do not attribute this solely to the mushrooms. Every ounce of my being felt activated and enlivened. Tears were genuinely streaming down my face. I could not speak. It demanded my attention and my thoughtful consideration, and it melted my soul with a loving embrace. It was just pure awe in every sense imaginable. “Beautiful” does not do this piece of artwork justice. Thank you, Beach House.

I heard this song in a café with my boyfriend yesterday. Sometimes I am truly thankful for apps like Soundhound, this is lovely.

Getting back from a job you hate to feel the depression hit hard at you, to commute in a bus and see people with hatred in their eyes. While listening to this masterpiece and shed a tear, That is all it takes to feel alive brother.

is it possible to fall in love with a song? I’m in complete awe and I’m tearing up as I write this, but sounds and lyrics have never combined together to perfectly capture the sheer violence and rage within me. “Help me to name it” I couldn’t have described it any better myself. A truly talented band and I’d give an arm and a leg any day of the week to experience this live.

My classmate died in an accident last week and iam sobbing now listening to this song cuz he was also my crush and ever since I had crush on him, I had listened to this song often and so it really reminds me everything about him. His smile, his voice and his perfect black hair. He was just 17. Life is too cruel. Losing people hurts,,,,,,hurts so bad that we can no more feel our fears

Seeing comments from 4-6 years ago hits hard

Gosh, seeing most of the comments interpreting 'Myth' according to their own perspective makes me realize what a masterpiece this song truly is.

Addicted to this beautiful song!!!

2:04 when the F chord hits, I just feel like I turn to a million pieces and vanish in the air. The chorus in Myth is one of my favourite moments in music, ever. Beach House is a legend.

This song is a time machine form me. It sends me back to a time when I used to live near the ocean but so far from home, when at the end of the day I used to walk the road to my place, with so many things in my head and so many more in my heart. Nostalgia, breeze, peace but with a taste of bittersweatness.

i wonder where i’ll be 5years from now, this moment

this song will always have a place in my heart

I swear i listened to this song 3 yrs ago when it barely had any views. I kinda forgot about it, which im really sad about and it took me a while to find but now im back and i guess it has grown somewhat popular over the years and im really happy for it

I just love the lead singer’s androgynous voice..it pairs so beautifully with the dreamy guitars. Perfect road trip music right here.

Beach House really made one of the most beautiful choruses ever and decided to never repeat it. It‘s so amazing I always want to replay the song right after I‘ve heard it

This song is so beautiful, literally can't stop listening to it

this song is here for me when i feel like i'm going insane, it's also here for me when i'm really happy

This song is telling us how when things don’t go our way we tend to build our own myths in which we pretend everything is so happy within our bubble as we think the momentary thought of being happy. That’s what daydreaming is it’s a sense of reworking your brain to pretend in your own world that you’ve achieved your end goal. Once you come back to reality you realize the myth of pure happiness is unattainable in the real world in the sense that you’re imagining it. Real happiness is being able to take the pain, sadness, and resentment you are filled with in life and to channel your bad thoughts into something greater. Always seeking to make others around you happy will oftentimes end in a smile on your face. You must take the long road in order to discover true happiness and feel all the ugly in order to further your journey. I’m finally coming back from my past sadness after I learned my personal “myth” in the past only kept me in pain. As this song says I’ve finally found myself in a new direction and I’m so grateful for everyone in my life. I turned 9 months straight of being mentally destroyed into a life full of great moments with the most legitimate people to talk to. When life gets hard swing back until the blows soften up. When you’re able to take its hits you know you’ve grown into a man. When you’re all alone don’t build the myth of being happy feel the sadness until you’re able to go back out into the world with a new perspective. I went from having my dream girl and best friend to nothing over night. I clawed my way back with friends & family and regained my strength to no longer feel like nothing. Acceptance and forgiveness are the keys to your happiness. Life is too short for grudges.

I like the way the singers voice sounds its almost soothing in a way♡

Just went through a load of Beach House tracks. Amazing. Lazuli. Wildflower. Wishes. And then I came back to this. So good it makes me sick.

Really like this sound it’s like make you recall all the memories . What ever is sad or happy . Those lose file come out to my mind and made me cry . Make me miss the people who had gone. Crying at all night.

LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!

Its the beginning of the drum beats that I absolutely love and got enthralled by, but finding it is impossible. That sequence is so beautiful before the electric beat intertwines. That first drum sequence is out of this world and this song is just chef kiss I can't even--

Beach house is when you have listened to every genre of music and basics said fuck it this shit sounds good no matter what👌🏻👌🏻
