[@Salmagundiii]

The first time I heard Beach House in 2010 my mind was absolutely blown. It hasn't happened since and it may never happen again. It's very different, but the closest I've come to having a group create that for me more recently is Stimming X Lambert's Edelweiss.

[@crazyaboutnature]

This song is a masterpiece, and they are amazing live.

[@viachicago]

crazyaboutnature Just wish they hadn’t cut the guitar solo part (starting at 3:32) short, presumably due to late night show time constraints. It’s the best part and the payoff of the song.

[@nathjcaldeira]

i LOVE that so much. the reason why I got into them 😭

[@abzd6535]

First song I heard from them was Norway, which they played every day at my old job. I genuinely thought it was a guy singing for the entire year I worked there until I just recently started listening to their music by chance lol

Rare band that sounds better live. Her vocals are astonishing in person. It's goosebumps shit for realz. I remember seeing them in Chicago and just thinking, "This can't be real." She's so much more talented than she probably gets credit for.

[@VitrificationOfBlood]

She sound like what I would imagine angels sound like

[@axelusul]

They sound great live gotta say

[@bobmckoy7105]

[@AB-lx8cf]

Letterman led the way when it came to musical guests back then. I remember seeing Interpol, sonic youth, Mars Volta, at the drive in, so many more amazing bands that were kinda popular but still also subculture at the time. He has a very different music team than the other shows.

[@Salmagundiii]

Yep. Last of the Good Ole Days at the Tiffany Network.

[@Taooflu]

Nice

[@alexjacobmathews]

I agree...Conan also had some great musical guests

[@kt-xl8cu]

I first heard this song in October 2014, my friends at the time and I were hotboxing the car and were on the way to watch a lunar eclipse at the beach. I was already pretty blitzed when it came on, and I felt this rush of intense deep emotion and energy running through my body. I asked my friend who this band was because I'd never heard anything like it before. It's now about 8 years later and I'm in such a different place now than I was back then, and I still experience the same rush of emotions anytime I listen to Beach House, and especially this song. I'll never get tired of listening to this.

I honestly don't think a band can move me more than Beach House. The instuments together are beautiful, the guitar solos by Alex are brilliant and Victoria's vocals are like an angel. They are incredible.

[@TomHunterChicago]

Brilliant. One of the most beautiful songs ever. Wonderful.

[@CinnCity78]

So unique. There's no one else who really sounds like them.

[@kt-xl8cu]

even other dream pop groups can't compare to beach house... there's just something you can't quite grasp with their music

[@alcatraz3539]

I totally agree. This song is absolutely amazing.

[@Milohenry13]

@kt-xl8cu I think Cocteau Twins compares just fine with Beach House. I don't think anyone really debates that.

[@Milohenry13]

Um.... Cocteau Twins, who kind of created the genre.

[@Milohenry13]

Check out "Runaway" by Beach House. It's such a Cocteau Twins song. The guitar breakdown in the end and everything.

[@GarryandBrad]

Best show I've been to in my life was Beach House playing live at Jacksonville beach. One of the happiest moments of my life, right next to taking a massive steaming dump after being constipated for two weeks straight.

I'd put her in the category of Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, Joni Mitchell, as far as a unique sound to her voice and delivery of that sound. Her delivery is what is so truly unique. It just captures the listener and they aren't sure if that voice is really coming from that young woman. Her demeanor and appearance don't indicate that her voice would be what it is.

[@matthewwehttam1094]

Beach House has a way of transporting me to a calm state of introspection. I contemplate how meaningful the decisions I make on a daily basis are. Usually, I determine I could do better.

[@Bobjb999]

This band's singer is far more talented imo, than all the reigning, chart topping pop music queens. Name any one of them. They all pale next to Victoria & Alex's band, to my ears. Along with her talented partner's writing talents & unique guitar sound, Victoria has a rare talent, imo, for writing & delivering emotive vocal melodies such that zillion-selling Rhianna & her posse of song writers on the payroll don't come close to pulling off. Same with Adele, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Lorde. etcetera. None of them resonate with me the way Beach House and a few other bands (e.g. Mazzy Star, Dum Dum Girls) do. I say: Forget the pop music "Queens"... Btw, how come a nice & talented French girl like Victoria ended up with the first name of a stuffy, old British Queen from a repressive era?? Forget the Queens...God save Victoria Legrand!
