One of the best, most underrated bands!! Four wonderful albums...RIP Ben Curtis you left us far too soon ❤

15 years I missed out on this song. At least I found it...

Rest in Peace, Benjamin Curtis. Your music will remain with all of us.

This remains my life's favourite song. I doubt any track will every replace it. It is as perfect today as when I first heard it. Just sublime.

Lyrics Sometimes I go whole days listening bored, half asleep I won't say anything that's worth a thing to me One day, suddenly, time took a turn that once felt so brief I blinked to see polite ghosts fading quickly What begins as an unguarded train of thought slowly can become an addiction to the slumber of disconnection and the resonance of memory that no longer has a shape but keeps you numb through the hours till gone is another day Be aware, my darling these things I say I mean are just traces of something I long to feel again I see our time expand in the air almost forcibly, spreading thinner till it dissolves completely

When they played this live, it became 1,000 times more powerful. I was lucky enough to witness it twice when they opened to Interpol back in 2011. Benjamin RIP.

This song is just devastating with it's ethereal and fleeting beauty. A total embodiment of the band. I weep for the loss.

This, in my opinion, is the most representative, powerful and absorbing track of their entire music career. And the lyrics - gosh.

Love this band. So underrated. The same goes for The Secret Machines, the band the guy was in before School of Seven Bells. I saw them in London probably 10 plus years ago now. A cracking gig.

This song is still kind of perfect isn't it?

I saw them in Sydney Australia around July 2012 on a bleak wet wintry night in a half full small concert venue. Benjamin and Ally were unforgettable. Ben smiled at me as I was going off at the front. What a band. RIP Benjamin Curtis.

This is their most recognized track and it’s barely relevant in KZfaq views. But that’s okay. Those of us who have recognized this greatness are the only ones who were meant to feel the way this makes us feel.

If ever music was made to be immersive and lost inside, it’s this music. It has a magical quality that invites you to live inside. A wonderful song

SVIIB is totally underrated. Massively good music, Almost all of it, let alone their last LP. This is awesomely good. Great lyrics. Love it.

This is a lyrical masterpiece. What a beautiful song.

blaring this, going 70 down the highway crossing the city skyline is an unforgettable feeling.

Fell in love with this song the first time I heard it in 08. It has become one of my most cherished song of all time. RIP. xoxx

The voice of angels, omg! Tears are literally falling from my eyes, cause this is one of their best songs off this album. Too beautiful!

Got to see and then speak to these guys after their set in length when they were opening for Interpol on my birthday. I had asked if they had any idea if Interpol had a particular song on that nights set list...Absolutely made my night when Paul dedicated Not Even Jail to " the birthday boy".

"What begins as an unguarded train of thought slowly can become An addiction to the slumber of disconnection And the resonance of memory that no longer has a shape But keeps you numb through the hours till gone is another day" So much truth to this.

This describes treatment-resistant depression better than anything I have ever encountered: What begins as an unguarded Train of thoughts slowly can become An addiction to the slumber Of disconnection and the resonance Of memory that no longer has a shape But keeps you numb through The hours till gone is another day Just perfect, RIP Ben

sosb was the first concert I ever went to, it was so magical, their music makes me appreciate the beauty people can produce in this world. LOVE this band forever!

This song speaks to me more than any other song ever written. And I probably won't tell this to anyone I end up dating in the future about how I go thru whole days, listening, bored, half asleep. Unless they're able to also see how most relationships spread thinner till they dissolve completely. Then maybe we'd both get over it and have a chance.

I just discovered this group. Exceptional. What Have I missed all these years. Love the harmonies. Only. sisters Could be that in sync.

This is one of those groups that I heard five seconds of on the radio and went "Whaaaaat the?" I've been hooked ever since. Thank you ladies and Ben.

This is such a special song. It always will be.

It’s cool how prophetic this song is. So ahead of it’s time.

I really didn't realize they were two different people until yesterday. Trippy.

I always come back to this video. These girls are so beautiful. I’ve been in love since forever

Proabably...still love it's 4.20 long and has a kick ass video my favorite band

I LOVE THIS! The song is beautiful, the ladies are beautiful, and I'm thrilled that a new album is coming soon. In a righteous world, this would be a smash hit. I could just live in this sound....

The harmony in this music is literally spiritual.

RIP Benjamin Curtis .... we all loved your song from Brazil

YES!!! The sisters doing a cut that is among their best. So fine...RIP BC.

Absolutely GORGEOUS vocal harmonies! At 1:03, turn up the highs in your stereo.. it's bright, sharp.. energizing, UPLIFTING! Puts such a smile on my face. I know the lyrics are a bit heavier in content but the music is just so EXHILARATING ! LOVE, NOT LIKE!

This song man... absolute chills. Rest in peace Ben.

This song is simply perfect! The lyrics... the ambience... the voice... the voice tone... It's been on my playlists for months and I'm still to find it a flaw!

How could anyone on this earth or any other planet think this song would ever deserve a thumbs down?! School Of Seven Bells is legit!

Damn, I'll miss him. This was one of my favourite songs for years and years.

It actually makes me deeply upset that people don't like School of Seven Bells, how can you not. Beautiful!

Pure beauty.

Finally, you fell asleep. RIP Benjamin Curtis.

this is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard. remember seeing you play live in molotow, hamburg ages ago as if it were yesterday.. rip ben and my friend anne who recently also died of cancer at such a young age. take care & lots of love!

This song creates this ethereal timelessness...it's almost too perfect being about some sense of being half asleep. They somehow matched the concept with the lyrics with the music. I hope this is what dying sounds like.

Most definitely one of the freshest groups, to have emerged in recent years, they are truly great.

an addiction to the slumber of disconnection.

This is song is too amazing for me so when I saw that there was a video, I was worried it wouldn't do the song justice. In all honesty, I'm impressed.

I'm Eternally grateful for being able to see them live circa 2012. Requiescat in Pace Benjamin.

so psychedelic with amazing vocals and a wall of ambient sound. video fits the mood of the song well also. ace indeed!

Imagine, I could have gone my whole life without hearing this song. What a crap life that would have been!!! Now this is just my li'l opinion, but this is one of the most absolutely perfect songs I have ever heard in my life.

What an amazing song! What an amazing group they were!

This song still moves me. Stunningly gorgeous.

beautifull melodie. The feelings are floding me as I listen. thanks for sharing

It's amazing how much this song relaxes me and improves my mood drastically.

If you read the lyrics, it is absolutely mind-blowing that they made a melody out of those words. On paper, it doesn't look like they'd fit at all.

Heartbreakingly beautiful.

This is my new favourite song. How had I never heard of this band!?

i love songs where you can feel so many emotions at once. where you can also recall memories. this song does that for me.

R.I.P.

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. You are really taking all of my time away from working on my own music. Thanks so much for all the wonderful compositions! ⭐❣️

Superb band, lead singer, Alejandra, is gorgeous and talented! This is the good stuff we've been searching for in a sea of absolute shit music.

Watching this video just now for the first time at the end of 2022. I can hardly believe it's already 13 years old and I am now just discovering how beautiful this song is.

has brought tears to my eyes,more than once

such a wonderfully written song. i resonate so much with the lyrical content.

Reminds me of when I was bumbling through the halls of my high school and my classes, half asleep. That was when i first heard the song.

RIP Benjamin Curtis

This and the Lusine remix ALWAYS gives me chills I love it

Fun fact: The uncredited cinematographer for this video was David Lowery, the dude who directed 'Ain't Them Bodies Saints' - his first full-length feature. I predict he'll be a big name in American cinema within a few years and this video will be a relic of his early work in film.

I caught their show at Slim's in San Francisco last night. Wow! Just wow!

Absolutely beautiful video and music. I love the expression on their faces as they sing the somber lyrics. Bravo! I'll definitely be checking out more from them.

great show in brighton yesterday. brilliant live-band, beautiful tunes. oh, and: beautiful singers. i was happy.

Love this song... it's ethereal.

These girls are seriously angels...

In my top ten of all time

I always remember this song to stop myself from being dragged into feeling over nostalgic.. urgh hate this feeling Love the song tho!

This makes my heart swell. Unfortunately I have no one to share this feeling with

I first heard this song while I was asleep with MTV2 on in the background. I'm so lucky I was able to wake up and get the band's name just in time for the video to finish, otherwise I would've thought this was a song I made up in my sleep. Beautiful song.

Latecomer.. Great song.. Dream pop-ish.. Thank you..

Damn time flies....

Love this group. They are tapping into something special that, yes Joshua, calms me down no matter where I am or what I am doing.

Great song, genres are just words, appreciate the music for what it is

Thanks for all the great music Benjamin!

This song is so beautiful. Thanks, Pandora!

I fell in love with this song the first time that I heard it over the radio at work... normally mall muzak is lame but this one really stood out. The lyrics and the dreamy nature of the music gives me goosebumps! :D This goes instantly into the list of songs that I can directly relate to. Awesome work ladies!

LOVE THIS SONG!!

These are seriously some of the best lyrics i have ever heard... love this song.

Very beautiful ! Thanks.

i love this song! love love love!

Personally, I think it's a celestial song with beautiful verbal pictures.

they're both gorgeous!

discreet charm...beautifull voices...indeed great aftertaste!!

This reminds me of Slowdive. And Cocteau Twins. Yes: I'm that old :) Brilliant melodies though. Love it.

Beautiful song

beautiful in every way..SVIIB is just on a different level

I discover this... 10 years after its released? youtube is broken

Simply brilliant.

love this type of music

Love it!

I drew a sketch of Alejandra and Benjamin years ago - just a few curved lines, blue on light blue. Hung over my keyboard ever since...

i'm an extreme metal fan and this song is amazing
