RIP to the man behind this beautiful woman

[@JiriSpurnyCZ]

2024, and still awesome and heartbreaking! It gaves hope for sure. Thank you for this 😍👍

[@nssmith666]

The 3rd time she sings "You'll fall in love again". It sends shivers down my spine. Just stunning.

[@robbiereisman8954]

Agreed. My favorite part of the song

[@herepuffpuff9007]

Open your eyes, love. All alone. Open your eyes, love. Weeping. I know that she was wrong but life is moving on, so get it together 'cause now anger is your pleasure, and that pleasure is the tether that fed you for too long. Now you're thinking that you're better, cause you think it made you strong. But what you don't get is the color of regret is the thing that made you sweat when you tried to paint a picture of life in the future, when the present is too wet with the tears that your wept long ago - fueling the fire, still. Keeping your head turned around in the past. Float in the present with the role that you cast for her as the villain: and you, who came in last. It's time to wake up. Open your eyes, love 'cause you've been sleeping. It's getting hard to bear watching you all alone. I know your heart is broken and you've been weeping, but I've been waiting here patiently for too long. I know that she was wrong but life is moving on. And the anger that you feed keeps you feeling justified and turning a blind eye to the one who you survived with and who kept you sane through the heartache and the pain. What you don't get is the color of regret is the thing that made you sweat when you tried to paint a picture of life in the future, when the present is too wet with the tears that you wept long ago - fueling the fire, still. Keeping your head turned around in the past. Float in the present with the role that you cast for her as the villain: and you, who came in last. It's time to wake up. Open your eyes, love 'cause you've been sleeping. It's getting hard to bear watching you all alone. I know your heart is broken and you've been weeping. But I've been waiting here patiently for too long. You are my pain, love. You are my sorrow. Can't you see we're the same? You got me crying. And now my heart is breaking, 'cause I've been weeping. And I've been waiting here silently for too long. You come close when you're in pain. Do you feel better, babe? Then you go 'cause you're afraid you'll fall in love again. You'll fall in love again. You'll fall in love again. Open your eyes, love. You've got me crying. Open your eyes, love. You've got me crying. Open your eyes, love. You've got me crying. Open your eyes, love. You've got me crying. Open your eyes, love. You've got me crying 'cause I've been sitting here patiently for too long.

Thank you. Beautiful song and lyrics.

[@sam21skin]

I love this whole thing.

[@HatTheFatCat]

@@김동현-w7p5d You're welcome :) I know it's harder to read but I wrote it that way because it reads like an unsent letter.

[@FANTASYKILLERS]

Listen to this song everyday No lie

[@Author_I]

It's been 6 years and this is still my favorite song! Love love love

[@MarinoTarot]

i can relate. The weird thing is: when i listen to the song, it always reminds me of the person who showed me that song... and I didnt have good experiences with him. So this is a 2-edged sword :) beautiful song, bad memory

[@thomasgooden]

good

[@vigee3541]

Lovely song.. RIP Ben😇☝🏼️

[@robertklausch4487]

what a beauty of a song...imagine...he worked on that while suffering on a damn lymphoma... R.I.P. Benjamin...we'll love you forever...and your music stays eternally....

[@echomodular]

Utterly stunning and achingly beautiful.

[@bunzer.of.wunzerton2235]

I'm reading the book "unoffenable" and this song goes with it so well. Holding on to anger makes you bitter.

[@philmalley7888]

This is such a beautiful elegy, all the creative love in all the SVIIB songs + the tragedy that Ben passed away at only 35. I find this one of few songs I can return to now mainly as I think of Alejandra and him in their final weeks.

[@rogerkamphuis5285]

I’ve got the record. This is bloody beautful. I miss them. Please come back.

[@HRHObafinni-Obàtálá]

"You ll fall in love againnnnn!!!!!!" Blasting this at 3am driving from Colorado!!!!!

[@flowerbuttercupb4]

To everyone here i feel a certain kinship being that I've always perceived this band as ethereal in a way like never before!! We all evolved together in this time space reality , and this band represents our enlightenment as a collective. Its good to know your not alone. Salute, Skull, Cheers Mates:))

Extacly what I was thinking. 🤭 Soul family who know each other.

[@maelgwni]

Definitely. Energetic recognition through sound.

[@ianmartin9614]

Blown away by this. Should not have heard this on the radio driving to work. Lost all concentration on the road for 4 minutes!

[@duncanwcraig9668]

A young kid in a record store in 2012 recommended Disconnect From Desire to me so I bought it. Saw School in concert later that year. So grateful. RIP Benjamin.

[@natedavies954]

When she sings crying (yes, everytime) I get a cold, painful, beautiful chill run over my entire body. Such an honest, incredible album.

[@_SarahElizabeth]

I needed this!

[@markchristopher2signal2]

me too.

[@josegustavopalestinozeler7239]

+Mark Christopher i love it, its amazing the tone, the music ,oooh i love it!!, im planning to buy this album to never forget Ben Curtis

[@jameskeith3703]

so good

[@Tiki-dg8qk]

I think allot of people Still Do.

[@perfectpopnoise]

it's quite comforting to hear this beauty after tonight's news

[@brendancarroll77]

Brilliant. Melodic. Dreamy. Sublime. Love this song and love their music.

[@scarsaturati9705]

You have triple 7's!

[@lloyddieser6684]

not my style of music at all but every once and a while you come across something special,glad i discovered this band

[@BiancaTallarico]

I feel like these three songs released from the new album are all about Curtis. Like the ending to this song I imagine Curtis in a coma due to his lymphoma with Alejandra at his side at the hospital. The whole open your eyes lyric. Man it hits me harder.

[@Piratejackyar]

He wrote these songs himself and it wasn't until Alejandra went to record them after he died that she realized they were about him.

[@shivamtanwar8334]

Fall in love with that wome's voice .. Adorable one😍

[@ikillomega]

This whole album is just amazing. Combination of rock, pop, electronic and the Deheza sisters' vocals are just amazing. Why are they not chart toppers in the US? Can we please do something about this?

[@danv9778]

Benjamin is dead, Claudia left the band.

[@sam21skin]

They were above the whole ‘let’s get rich’ pose

[@johnfurman4242]

A beautiful song that evokes emotion and pathos!!!!

[@dljennings]

the year is 2023 and this song is still amazing

[@stellaviolens]

The year '16 meh but this album was so beautiful so articulate thankyou Alejandra. ' Open your eyes, love, you've got me crying ' and thats what it did for me.

[@XxwhosrightxX]

I pulled up beside a brand new Mercedes at a red light in Indiana, PA and there were people rockin out to this with the windows down. Thanks to Shazam and the Amazon music app, I was doing the same at the next light :-). ♡ you guys!!!!

[@anthonyourbrother]

Don't forget your brother on the corner there deep inside these lyrics... pick him up, take'm for a drive... he's done with love ❤️

[@user-vi4xy1jw7e]

​@@anthonyourbrother What?

[@anthonyourbrother]

@C Two weeks ago was an off-day. It's when a man was in the midst of missing a friend.. He's cool now:) Great lyrics.

[@romanmartha5359]

Truly made me teary eyed.

[@GrahamNificent]

From the band's Bandcamp page regarding SVIIB: All lyrics by Alejandra Deheza except “Music Takes Me” - lyrics by Alejandra Deheza & Claudia Deheza Some other comments incorrectly imply Ben was the sole writer of this, but I think it's beautiful that Ben produced an album of songs that Ally had written about him, which she never admitted to him, as I recall, even though surely he knew. The line "open your eyes, love" sounds out of context like it could be her singing to him in the hospital, even though all of the songs except "Confusion" were written before the diagnosis, which is a coincidence she recognized in at least one interview. Looking at the full lyrics paints an interesting picture - She's singing to someone who has a tendency to self-isolate and avoid intimacy because of unresolved betrayal from past relationships. Like with many of her lyrics, it's not totally clear how neutral she is in her motivation for calling out these behaviors, since she clearly loved him so much that she had skin in the game, wanting him to come closer and open up to her. ("Show Me Love" from Ghostory is another take on this general theme, as well as "On My Heart".) The personal stake that she has in breaking him free of these patterns ("it's getting hard to bear", "you've got me crying", "get it together") makes the song all the more human, giving a simultaneous glimpse into Ben's suffering as well as her own suffering due to the degree to which she had opened herself up to him. Her compassionate and engaging lyricism is moving beyond measure, and it gives us these precious little peeks at the sensitive and complicated souls that she and Ben are.

[@catalinahoyos9652]

BEST SONG EVER!!!!!!! Lyrics are simply PERFECT!!!!!! Beautiful...

[@stevesnowdon4640]

Fantastic track, heard it on Six Music this morning.

[@Capgungoesbang]

So happy to have new music from you guys :)

[@BohemianConspiracy]

+Capgungoesbang It's supposed to be their last ever album...the sound is rather heypeak (or epic)... I'm even surprised by the announcement of the release of this 4th lp... a nice surprise... like a big yummy cherry on the top of their sonicake... and a likely tribute

[@jasefrazz07]

+Starry&Bohemian yeah i heard on 6 music that this was gonna be their last album, real shame, maybe its something to do with benjamin curtis untimely death

[@Capgungoesbang]

+Jason Sparks I didn't even know about his passing until a few days ago. I'm really gonna cherish this album because he was an amazing musician.

[@jasefrazz07]

+Capgungoesbang indeed he was ,enjoy the album it's gonna have a whole new level of poignancy when it arrives

[@thomasdatt7097]

This made me cry

[@WINTERwaves]

Such gorgeous music! Makes me wanna hug somebody so bad right now...!

[@markchristopher2signal2]

Definitely my favorite song of 2016.

[@mirarstudios]

I feel the Spirit through this incredible musical craft and heart

[@BathroomGrrrl]

Sounds like magic to my ears.

[@davidhumphreys1422]

Oh so good. Tears are flowing as I listen to truth about love. Thank you :)

[@quick-likefox]

RIP Benjamin Curtis. Also love and adore your talent with Secret Machines and especially Tripping Daisy.

[@nickgee8355]

Few things impart as much joy as a new SVIIB song

[@TheMasterleb]

HOLY SHIT YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I WAS TRYING TO FIND THIS AGAIN!

[@stgfan1139]

This gives me so many chills.

[@Framievapes]

It was a couple of days ago. I was coming back home from work and this song came up on spotify from the random shuffle. I'm italian,so even if i catch most of the lyrics i cannot completely understand it on the first time i hear it. Like i said i'm italian,so i'm currently living in the covid-19 nightmare. Until now and probably for a couple of more days i had/will have the luck of staying a bit outside of my house because public transportation is still working here so i have to jump on my bus and drive around these empty cities. But there's a reason because i wrote this stuff under this song. Last couple of months i had the opportunity to change a lot of my life,expecially my social interations. I put all the effort that i probably didn't put in my previous 27 years of life and got awesome results. One of this results was a lovely girl i met close to where i work. Unfortunately things didn't work out well in the end and our bond fell apart this week. Too bad i was starting to really really like her but i have to move on and then it happened. I was on my balcony smoking a cigarette,put this song again on spotify and listened to it while i was reading the lyrics. Dammit, i felt like my stomach and chest were getting punched and i started crying i don't know how much. I felt the lyrics so close to me,it was painfully awesome. Because she was wrong about me,she was my villain,i punched a wall during a raging moment and enjoyed it because i felt more strong,but now i regret it and the only thing that remains for me is to wake up and move on. I'm gonna dedicate this Song ti myself.. I felt so bad when i checked this band to find out they stopped making music. (at least this is what wikipedia says) I really really hope to see this band making music again one day.

[@Brandob98]

they had to finnish this album because their band mate died so sad

[@Brandob98]

also i hope you are doing okay ❤️ love from canada

[@geIoeschterBenutzer]

Much love from Germany and stay healthy 🙏💜

[@bandit6048]

This band was most beautiful even though ugly end. Always play them and relax.

[@rin123123]

Keep looping it these two days ... Love it a lot

[@lavoru]

this relaxes me SO much :)

[@vitoq3757]

I loved Tripping Daisy when I was a teenager in the '90s, especially Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb; a true masterpiece of psychedelic pop. It's a testament to Ben's versatility as a musician that he moved on from that to do music like this. Truly beautiful, touching tribute by his friend and artistic foil.

[@stellaviolens]

My expectations for this 'new' SVIIB lp are sky high. My hopes for 2016 is that this work matches this beautiful song and the Deheza sisters have a very positive year and carry on making beautiful music.

[@derekstaroba]

When u try to picture when the present is you present but you try to judicate through the heartache and the pain so it's time to move on 😍😍😍
