Lyrics:
Sunny day
In a chariot
Were they waving back
To you
Losing touch
Not that much
She was running back to you
To you
No more
What you said
Angel’s wings
Time we spent
Nobody knows
How close it will come
The rite of the sands
My heart in your hands
Women chasers
The wives abide
You build a plane to take
A land you divide
Sunny day
In a chariot
Were they waving back to you
The way you chased her
Your cadillac
Back on the coastline
With the sun on his back
Women chasers
The scarlet land
You would be taken
But they’ll all love him back
Sunny day
In a chariot
Were they waving back to you
One last call

This is honestly one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever listened to. As soon as I heard this I knew I'd love B-Sides. Still haven't heard a bad track from Beach House and I don't think I ever will but wow, this one is definitely in my top 5.

[@megancrawley5250]

[@yknat216]

[@megancrawley5250]

This song is eternal. It is as though the heavens breathed this into existence through an angels voice. I honestly believe gifts like these are channelled from other realms beyond our comprehension. This is so fitting for all of existence and beyond. An infinite gem.

[@ilkwons]

This became my new, good-night-sleep song. So dreamy and soothing..

[@cripplehawk]

4:38 one of Henry Fonda's Greatest roles in one of the best westerns films ever.

[@cowboykelly6590]

cripplehawk : Oh Yeah... How The West Was Won. Try Ox Bow incident Another one of his Best Westerns. He's young in this one.

[@riku7848]

listening to this with headphones opens whole new paths of instruments and emotions. amazing effort and incredible quality. truly unique, wonderful music.

[@williammendoza1118]

Best beach house song

[@johnjimbertariga2173]

I just love this song the melody and Vic's voice is just so lovely. It breaks and fix my weak heart at the same time

[@TheFibtastic]

From the moment I heard this song it's been running through my head. I hope it never stops.

[@kimininaritai82]

Love the ethereal nostalgic dreamy reminiscence of this...

[@housebrosgaming]

I'm not crying, you're crying

LOL.. (WEEPY) ...LOL

[@davidkieltyka9]

It's a wonderful thing when a conceptual video elevates the music it's set to. 👍🏼❤️😊

[@RyanPatton94]

Like most of Beach House's songs, the lyrics in Chariot are almost nonsensical. Almost. There is just enough sense in the lyrics for listeners to create tons of different interpretations, which seems to be Victoria's goal. After a few listens I began trying to interpret the song. The best meaning I could create was that the song is about a president. Critical of Donald Trump, maybe? Or it's about the presidency in general? Maybe it's about being an actor? Who knows. Then I saw someone suggest that Chariot is a surreal JFK biography. That struck me as incredibly sad. After viewing this video a few times that theory seemed confirmed and the song took on a new meaning. But then I watched the video again and had a different takeaway: much of the video seemed concerned with two women in JFK's life, Marilyn and Jackie. Again, the song evolved for me and took on a new meaning. Chariot isn't just a surreal eulogy for JFK. Rather, it's a surreal eulogy for the man as viewed through the eyes of Jackie. Jackie's sadness about her husband's death is more complex than the American public's. She had to deal with the horrifying death of her husband, but also the public's warped perception of him. The public came to view him as a martyr; as the best president ever and a good man struck down in his prime. Jackie was one of the few people close enough to JFK to see reality, however. He cheated, lied, and didn't always treat her right. She had to deal with his death, but also had to watch millions of people worship a man who mistreated her.

[@mmcc0203]

Thank you for sharing this. I don't think it's a coincidence that BH chose this particular footage

[@CharlesLumia]

Interesting video. I love the song. I've probably listened to it 20 times since the audio was released.

[@jorgebeleza3540]

Since it came out, sometimes I listen to it on repeat the whole morning, and seem to can't get enough of it.

[@nataliethecancer]

OMG actually same!! I have had it on literal repeat for weeks.

[@sadiehamilton7040]

thank you beach house, this is really nice

[@Ladosis]

Nostálgico, melancólico. Tanto que hiere. Grandísimo tema. Thanks Victoria & Alex.

[@Jordan04101]

I hope we'll hear a track in the new Twin Peaks!

[@sidmoniz6]

Jordan04101 they sound like a Twin Peaks memorie, since the first time... 💖💗❤

[@alicemary7913]

I would actually cry if they played in The Bang Bang Bar

[@padraigwalzj3084]

Beach House is more Twin Peaks than twin peaks

[@mrfancypantification]

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so! Listening to Beach House often makes me think of the scene featuring Questions in a World of Blue from Fire Walk with Me

[@widM_]

Chromatics and Sharon Van Etten were already. We're waiting for Beach House, Angel Olsen, Mazzy Star and Lana Del Rey for the finale.

[@cvvxs3581]

Best song to listen to while on a plane

[@cheebasteeba2817]

[@Quorive]

Man, I was waiting for that ending to happen, and when it did I actually flinched. Great video guys, hopefully get to see you guys play again soon :)
