Beach House "Gila"

[@SPARKLEDAZEY]

I've been avoiding this song and Beach House in general for 11 years, all because of a failed young love. It's as good as I remembered.

tell us about it

[@TLH442]

I think what they're doing is taking the magic cactus. My experiences with those compounds and the other ones are that they really open up love inside of a person I think. I think when you take them you're not sure what's going to happen then you feel a little afraid and then when you start to calm down after the sort of storm in your mind you start to feel like everything is going to be okay. Just concentrate on that please. It's all any of us really need to do.

@@Nigerian_Papi she had immaculate taste in music, was a lil older, and had the trauma of someone who had been to several wars, but was only 19. I lost my virginity to her, she even let me cum inside her my first time. I lost all my friends and most family because we never went anywhere, only because she didn't want to. She was a raging alcoholic. We were kids, we didn't know how to do shit. She often hurt herself and would tell me she would kill herself if I left her, which I tried to many times and which she tried to many times. Finally, one rainy night, which is rare for southern California, I had had enough, grabbed what I could and bounced, never to see her again. I never let myself be in that position ever since.

I can't even put in words what their songs do to me. Kind of feels like my soul has been searching for music like this my whole life.

This song is amazing. Its so simple and yet everytime I hear it, it speaks to me more than any song could. Its almost like a drug, it takes me away to somewhere far and peaceful, away from all my troubles.

[@lala99la]

I am so grateful to The Weeknd. Due to Party and the After-Party and Loft Music, I discovered Beach House. And now it's my favourite, basically what I listen to all day (plus Fiona Apple). Edit after almost a year : I don't even like The Weeknd anymore lol. I like to keep my drugs hidden, and don't generally enjoy artists who have a long history of treating women like objects in their music. Not my thing at all, not anymore. Thanks for Beach House tho.

This is the best music video I've ever seen in my life. Interesting considering how some of Beach house's music videos are the worst ever made (looking at you, Lazuli!), Heart of chambers is good as well. I've been trying to articulate how I feel about when I was younger and in just before I graduated high school when the world was so new and cool to me. I've been having a hard time summing it all up to friends and family and myself.. Everything was mysterious and amazing, and this video feels like a representation of everything that made my life feel so magical back then, the drugs use, the occult themes, the beautifully big pupils of Victoria, the great lighting and simple but poignant direction and production, and the muse and sacrificial lamb that Alex represents. I didn't hear beach house until after high school but damned if this doesn't make me feel good again like how I used to a couple years ago. This video made me remember how much I respected the night .

[@M4rko96]

When I heard this song for the first time I liked the lyrics, the video and I thought of them in some way, but the last year I had a spiritual awakening and now I can see the consciousness in the lyrics, I mean they are true alchemists, they dwell in the occult and they are spreading a message like seed-throwers. The lines "Give a little more than you like" "Pick apart the past you are not going back" "I've been blessed with a kingdom", and the simbology in the video, it is very interesting.
