I'm glad this band is finally getting the recognition it has deserved for the last 30 years. One of the very few musical artists/bands that really made a difference in my life.

@honeypower Жыл бұрын

Absolutely-they were ignored and dismissed back in the day as being "uncool" in favour of grunge and Britpop. They're more popular now than ever. In the two decades I've been a fan I've seen and heard their influence in so many new bands and genres. They were truly ahead of their time.

@matkenis3013 Жыл бұрын

I have no idea why you are thinking that way, they are and always have been the biggest shoegaze band out there, lol

they were pretty popular at some point but were quickly replaced by britpop, mainly by the british media

I think they've improved so much. As much as I loved them back in the day, the 2017 album is my favourite thus far. Very excited for this new one and love this song. It's really great when bands get better with age. So few actually do.

It is youthful, isn't it? They look more like everyday parents now than even when they reunited, yet they maintain such a youthful yearning in their sound that underscores why they're such incredible artists.

a dreamy and somewhat cryptic song that seems to explore the theme of seeking fulfillment in new experiences and the impact of fleeting moments ... the song starts with the singer acknowledging the affirmation of being the "best thing" to someone, yet questioning if that is truly what they need ... this ambivalent sentiment is characterized by the chorus repeating the phrase "born desert sun" multiple times, which could represent the transience and warmth of a fleeting moment ... the second verse introduces the idea of leaving behind previous struggles and "ghosts" to start anew in a car ... however, the singer questions what is truly necessary for a fresh start, and whether "living with the truth" is enough ... the song seems to acknowledge that sometimes the "new thing" or "kisses" might be enough to provide temporary satisfaction, but it is unclear whether this will truly lead to a fulfilling and lasting sense of happiness .... overall, "Kisses" seems to be an introspective exploration of the fleeting nature of happiness and the search for fulfillment in new experiences, all set to the dreamy and atmospheric soundscapes that Slowdive is known for ...
