Peach Pit - Private Presley

[@findme3775]

the intro is something that would play at the ending of a really good movie

[@ansleymartin5484]

find me right?

[@aamara18]

that made me sad for some reason, wow

[@apoorv-vu4pd]

and the outro is something that would play throughout a really chaotic life that ended rather abruptly

[@newt_is_cute]

the solo at the end takes you to a whole new fucking world. This song made me think of the good moments that were lost under a pile of bad memories. I love peach pit. thanks for putting out such amazing music

[@SaltChroniclesHearthstoneArena]

check out solo in "everybody cares, everybody understands" by Elliott Smith it's also mind blowing, kinda reminded me of this one

[@Lowzerix]

watching this on a joint is a bless

[@michaeljohn7095]

Peach Pit is hands down, undoubtedly, for sure the most talented group of this generation. From the complex and perfectly accentuated lyrics, to the blues/psych and unbeatable lead guitar work, then the groovy (dare I say funky) back bone that is the bass, and the fluent yet mercurial drums, holding everything in time and in place from the pocket. The song structures are similar to post-rock, starting off soft and delicate, and rising slowly into a hard hitting, bombast showcase of all emotions. Always beautiful, always cerebral, and always.... "Daddies"

[@PEACHPIT17]

Mike Mantha thanks so much Mike ::) my mom literally just posted your comment on Instagram haha

[@RichardVanderkooy]

Mike Mantha, what a review of Peach Pit's music! Hands down, undoubtedly, for sure… Your descriptions of their songs' elements are gorgeous, beautifully written, and to me ring true. (Disclosure: I know these guys.)

[@michaeljohn7095]

[@cameronbunch2867]

I saw these guys by accident at the side stage of my local venue, with maybe 20-30 people in the room. I had never heard of them but they hooked me with their live transition from being so normal-alrighty aphrodite. Then they really had to bring me on the verge of tears with this song. Talked to the lead guitar player for like 20 minutes after he was so cool and easy to talk to. A year later me and my friends drive up to Toronto to see them this past October and they literally filled the venue wall to wall and put on one of them greatest shows I've ever seen. Two songs in they started playing Sweet FA and I couldnt help break out into tears. They are the best current rock band and deserve everything and all the progress they have made. Keep rockin daddies I cant wait for your new tunes

[@BaileyMeeks99]

jesus this is so good. i honestly can't believe you guys aren't already huge

[@xTravisMarx]

The entire song vibe/soul is hard to explain, it's sorta like a swelling universal soundtrack to a person's life yet being so elusive in that you don't know you've experienced those life experiences it yet. Something familiar yet unrecognizable, no? (I love the song btw)

[@soucriant3035]

Travis Marx describes it perfectly

[@littlesnowflakepunk855]

I'm pretty sure it's from the perspective of Vernon Presley, Elvis Presley's father, about Elvis's birth. Elvis was born ten minutes after his brother, who was stillborn. Pretty sure the soul of the song is the grief of losing one of your twin baby boys.

[@hewhohesitatesdisintegrate3576]

@@littlesnowflakepunk855 I know this is about Elvis Presley, but I thought it was about his time in the military more specifically?

[@littlesnowflakepunk855]

"Elvis Aaron Presley was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, the son of Vernon Elvis (April 10, 1916 - June 26, 1979) and Gladys Love (née Smith; April 25, 1912 - August 14, 1958) Presley in a two-room shotgun house that his father built for the occasion.[6] Elvis's identical twin brother, Jesse Garon Presley, was delivered 35 minutes before him, stillborn.[7]" from wikipedia idk about the rest of the song but thats what the first few lines mean anyway

[@chrisgarbageman8030]

Is it just me or every time you listen to it it gets better and better

[@diarmuidmalanaphy8465]

The two room shotgun house The folks could hear her howls The cotton bed sheets blood, my son One less, when its all done Love me tender like what keeps you well My voice is back home while I'm in hell Who's the ol' slew foot who took you from me Cried oh Private Presley, she swayed like the trees The bus line, people shout Reach out with my hand to these sidewalk crowds All of these faces, you can't see, with me Just wanna go home, my river winds breeze Love me tender like what keeps you well My voice is back home while I'm in hell Who's the ol' slew foot who took you from me Cried oh Private Presley, she swayed like the trees The Memphis sun still shone Tupelo's air still filled my lungs Alone except my songs, you're gone Just bring me with you love Love me tender like what keeps you well My voice is back home while I'm in hell Who's the ol' slew foot who took you from me Cried oh Private Presley, she sways like the trees

[@barnacles1804]

Could this song be about the fact Elvis's brother was stillborn? Im trying to make sense of it

[@LobsterHaunting]

Its about Elvis’s mother

[@itsalishar]

I still can't get over how great it is when the guitar goes WUEEE WUEE WUEEWWW like dayumn, i'm really feeling it

[@BrandonGiordano]

I heard this is about Elvis Presley's time in the military but I can't help but feel there's a more personal aspect to it. About being away from home, away from someone you love, or just longing to be somewhere else. Such a great song

[@angelfernandez7166]

Everytime when I listen this song, I repeat the damn solo at least 10 times. There's so many feels in the sound of that guitar, it brings me back memories...

[@ZayWildRift]

The guitar solo in this really moves me. It starts out so refined and beautiful, then it starts to get shaky and tough and it just keeps going way longer than youd expect and then finally at the very end you get a breath.

[@apoorv-vu4pd]

the outro is something that would play throughout a really chaotic life that ended rather abruptly

[@peteaxe2067]

The songs about Elvis presley so that fits

[@AbbeyB20021]

I've been in love with this song since the album was released last Friday. I don't think I'll ever get tired of listening to it, it's a masterpiece.

[@ThatCatmeow]

Wow. the rift at the end almost sounds like the guitar is mourning. Ya'll are amazing!

[@ChubzMisa]

[@lilycavey8616]

I don’t know what it is but this song just gets me every single time. Every time I hear that intro my heart aches and I just sink and have to close my eyes. This song has everything you could need in a song, emotional beautiful music and voice, good beat, a section to completely jam to, a slow dramatic section, and build up and mellow guitar rolls (I don’t know music terms that’s just what it sounds like). This song is undoubtedly my favourite song of all time. I am in love with this song. Always have been, always will be. no one can ever understand how much this song means to me fuckckkkkkkkkkk. I love it

[@zhao5041]

A moment for those that still haven’t heard this song. This whole piece has that feeling of looking down at a car driving of into the distance to new life or the feeling of life living on. It’s bittersweet, nostalgic, beautiful and calm. It euphoric and happy and new. I feel this is the song you would dance to without knowing or having no specific moves, just twirling and spinning and enjoying the time we have now. Like it’s the end of the world but you know that the new ones gonna come soon so you live in this one to the fullest. It gives you sense of present with looking back at the last, only to leave it behind for the future. It’s so full of life. At least it does for me. Peach Pit this truly is a masterpiece.

[@liabranigan977]

after every song I listen to I have a new favourite song

[@Flazlorky]

The guitar part at the end made me literally weep. Im talking a full on sob. It reminded me of those moments when youre going through something so strong and theres this moment of manic activity. Something that helps you grow.

[@bloodghoul]

This song fills me with such a deep indescribable sadness and I don’t know why. It feels familiar somehow? Nostalgic in a way? Like yearning for a time in my life that never existed.

[@chxxrlo]

its currently 2am and im drunk alone in my room, thinking about life and the future. its scary, but this song feels like a comfortable low point, like some nostalgic daydream of something you are yet to experience. i think about how im flying to brighton in a month to meet my best friend for the first time, were seeing yous live together, and thats something giving me some sense of comfort in the future, something i hope to be nostalgia for later in life. thank you guys for your music, it mean alot to me :)

I went to guitar center with my best friend the other day so he could check out the speakers they had. He asked me to play a song on them and so I put on Private Presley, and good gods, it was so magical just being surrounded and engulfed by this song in the presence of someone I love. (He told me it was a really good song choice even though he always pokes fun at my soft music tastes.) I wish I could have lived that moment a little longer, it was so sweet. Thank you, Peach Pit, for those little wins in my heart. 💖

This is stuff you can cry to, smile to, and chill the fuck out to no matter what is going on in your life. Gorgeous.

The most magical thing about this song for me is that I can see my life moving from past till now like a movie.

When that one person showed you this song and their gone this song takes on a different meaning.

[@sof247]

They played in calgary two days ago and I missed their set because of traffic (and lack of planning) and I was so excited to listen to this song because it genuinely means the WORLD to me. It’s one of those songs that I will forever treasure and has become so personal it feels MINE even though thousands of people listen to them now and isn’t mine but theirs! I’ve been listening to Peach Pit since 2018 and their music, but private presley in particular, has helped me through some really, really hard periods in my life. They also mean so so so much to me because they were one of the first bands I discovered on my own (help of spotify suggested lol) when I was starting to discover music on my own not just based on what my friends listened to and recommended or the radio. I also did a graphic design project on them in high school!!! I wish I’d gotten the chance to see them live when they were an emerging band and do miss how private they felt because not many people knew them but am eternally grateful they’ve gotten the recognition they deserve. I knew right away when I listened to their music for the first time that they would be huge one day and I was right!! Ha ha!! I’m eternally grateful for their music and hope to see them live and hear this song sooner rather than later. Thank you for everything, and please continue being Peach Pit with your silly goofy instagram posts and stories. Love you to the moon and back! (I do kinda miss their old EP and single covers lol) 💕💕💕💕💕💕

She texted me from her sister's birthday party, and told me she was having a Shiner Bock Oktoberfest beer (she hated beer until we started dating a month ago). I went and bought some of the same beer at the store so I could feel like we were sharing one together. I just wanted to feel close to her... Wondering if I'm also falling in love with her.
