Crystal Castles is the music you play for the party. Beach House is what you play when nobody shows to the party.

[Verse 1] So you thought it would happen Good love, goodbye I know where no one can reach you No, I don't mind [Pre-Chorus] It's your world, why would you fake it? These days go by As you turn around oh, oh, oh [Chorus] Other people want to keep in touch Something happens and it's not enough Never thought that it would mean so much Other people want to keep in touch [Verse 2] Heaven won't keep us together Right place at the wrong time It takes all kinds of weather Distant blue skies [Pre-Chorus] Somewhere no one can reach us These days go by As you turn around oh, oh,

Beach House just hits....this spot. That nobody else does. Thanks, Beach House.

Crystal castles- kept

beach house's entire discography thank me later

"Right place, at the wroooong tiiiiiime" - Eargasm.

This song is my current obsession. From 2:55 onward, the texture they create through layering is awe-inspiring. The synths, Victoria's voice, the guitar melodies...what a song.

totally hits on my dopamine receptors

2:54 to the end is pure bliss, absolutely unbelievable- the melody going up and down the scale at 3:16… and then the added background vocals at 3:27… overwhelming

This song can heal souls

As a black guy who listens to Beach house I don't care if my "HoodPass" gets revoked....BeachHouse is Life

this is possibly the single most beautiful song ive ever heard

The ending of this song is just magical.

was playing this album on shuffle then heard of this and I got goosebumps recognizing the vocal wavelength and how this was sampled from crystal castles - kept

Ending lyrics: Chin up Please stay with me Oh, my love Just stay with your girl I’ve played this song at various different speeds. I’ve also downloaded it and isolated the vocals, which finally revealed the lyrics at the end. Play the song at .75x speed to hear this more clearly. The humming in the background at normal speed makes it sound like “cheer up, these days come and go” but it’s actually “chin up, please stay with me.” It’s a conversation between two lovers at the end. - Him: “Was it ever quite enough?” - Her: “Chin up” - Him: “Please stay with me” - Her: “Oh, my love, please stay with your girl” The lover saying “was it ever quite enough?” and “please stay with me” has a woman he is partnered with, but his true love is the woman in the song with whom he cannot be with anymore due to current unfortunate circumstances, or just the sad reality that they are not destined to be together. This is inferred from the earlier lyric “heaven won’t keep us together”, a lyric which could also mean that even if it’s “heaven” when they are alone with another, it’s not enough to keep them together. Imagine the man standing in front of his true love, looking down at the ground, while he asks her: “Was it ever quite enough?” She responds with: “Chin up” (chin up being the common phrase which means to stay cheerful and hopeful during difficult times). He looks her in the eyes at this point, and says: “Please stay with me” She responds: “oh, my love, please stay with your girl.” She heartbreakingly says this to him, and he of course is also heartbroken. This makes sense as the whole song is about the deep desire two lovers have to run away from the world and be together. HOWEVER: If you listen to them live, Victoria Legrand sometimes sings: You know Just say what you know Oh, my love Just stay this night.

I PLAY THIS CONSTANTLY, THE END JUST GETS TO ME. THE WAY VICTORIA LINGERS ON "ENOUUUUUUUGH"

kept

This is the only Beach House song that makes me headbang and cry... all the others just make me cry.

why do I cry while I listen to any song of Beach House? i love this. i love you. thank you.

I suppose it´s called dream pop for a reason.

This song deserves so many more comments.

Heaven won't keep us together Right place at the wrong time

This is the kind of song you turn up to the highest volume physically possible.

OK...that's the second time I've cried while listening to this song. It simply overloads my emotional sensors. Not in a sad way, just a very powerful one.

Lyrics :D So you thought it would happen Good love goodbye 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 As you turn around-ow-ow-ow Other people want to keep in touch Something happens and its not enough Never thought that it would mean so much Other people want to keep in touch Heaven won't keep us together Right place at the wrong time It takes all kinds of weather Distant new skies Somewhere nothing could reach us These days go by As you turn around-ow-ow-ow Other people want to keep in touch Something happens and its not enough Never thought that it would mean so much Other people want to keep in touch Was it ever quite enough Was it ever quite enough Was it ever quite enough Was it ever quite enough Was it ever quite enough

This song is just incredible on so many levels. Each instrument could stand alone as it’s own gorgeous song. The deep base especially is quite possibly the best baseline I’ve ever heard.

Lyrics So you thought it would happen Good luck goodbye I know when no one can reach you No I don't mind It's your word why would you fake it These days go by As you turn around-ow-ow-ow Other people want to keep in touch Something happens and its not enough Never thought that it would mean so much Other people want to keep in touch Help me keep us together Right place at the wrong time It takes all kinds of weather Clear slate blue skies So what no one can reach us These days go by As you turn around-ow-ow-ow Other people want to keep in touch Something happens and its not enough Never thought that it would mean so much Other people want to keep in touch Wasn't ever quite enough

I get happy that crystal castles used this song to make "Kept". Beach house and crystal castles are the best bands that i've knew

I have seen Beach House twice in concert. Not that I want to pass away anytime soon, I can now die, a happy man. I love your music. You’re one in a million.

wow wtf, as a die hard CC fan I've listened to kept an ungodly amount of times yet it just took seeing the comments on this video for me to even recognize ethan sampled this song..... i can hardly even tell at all. both great songs though.

I just want a happy ending

damn these lyrics are simple but powerful, hits different after a breakup

Beautiful music, so powerful, so underrated.

2024 anyone? I was dealing with mad depression when I first ran into this band back in 2011 if not mistaken. Off a mixtape on SoundCloud. What a different life I'm living now. Glad I made it...

Beach house is the best of this subgenre. One of my favorite bands hands down.

I miss her so much

its the best after 2:53

Top draw, within the genre, not unlike Crystal Castle, Broadcast - Tender Buttons, Ha Ha Sounds, Tame Impala, Kirsty Hawking - Fine Day; so much incredible talent, out there

this band deserves all my love

Today was the first time seeing the word 'situationship' be used irl and it turns out I am not a part of the situation. Good thing I found this song yesterday

What a beautiful friggin song

Essa música é incrível, a Victoria é incrível, Beach House é surreal

"Heaven won't keep us together Right place at the wrong time" -that hits hard omg

everyday I am thankful that beachhouse exists.

bro is anyone else obsessed with the bg vocals starting 3:27 ? thats my fav part for years now & i still dk what victoria is saying

I love this song

Dream pop is the best genre

My favorite beach house song

Oh yes, on repeat.

That starling murmuration sample at the beginning is amazing.

The first song I've heard by Beach House ❤

beach house-other people thank me later

This song is better than most good indie bands discographies.

always put a tear in my eye that i can't seem to desguise properly. "No, I don't mind..."

Ce son, c'est mon mood avec toi

Need an EDM remix of this

Such amazing layering at the end.Beach House is absolutely everything...

I came here from crystal castles and all I can hear is Kept!

This should have a lot more views...

you don't discover beach house, beach house discovers you.

Such summer vibes

the drums sound soo cool

So you thought it would happen Good love, goodbye 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 As you turn around-ow-ow-ow Other people want to keep in touch Something happens and it's not enough Never thought that it would mean so much Other people want to keep in touch Heaven won't keep us together Right place at the wrong time It takes all kinds of weather Distant new skies Somewhere no one can reach us These days go by As you turn around-ow-ow-ow Other people want to keep in touch Something happens and it's not enough Never thought that it would mean so much Other people want to keep in touch Was it ever quite enough? Was it ever quite enough? Was it ever quite enough? Was it ever quite enough? Was it ever quite enough?

Superb holiday hangover tune by the pool. Beautiful.

(update): i am obsessed and totally in love with this song

Meu Deus que voz maravilhosa..amo essa banda demais!!!

Ending Lyrics: Don't you know who's standing by me?) (Oh, my love, just can't let you go) Was it ever quite enough? (Don't you know who's standing by me?) (Oh, my love, just can't let you go)

This song is hella bomb!

I really wish that Beach House would go back to this sound
