[@tommyboyer9835]

Missing these guys in 2023.

[@tuddilu]

as well as 2024

[@TheSonardude]

thank you Forza for finding this song for me.

[@Waddledreamland]

Yesss I knew it sounded familiar

[@Simsyjane]

Yes! 🤣🤣🤣

[@derekstaroba]

for u guys don't know this is the best band

[@RedFox45]

Indeed! did a video driving to it on FH3 and it goes so well until that damn mazda came out of no where 🤣🤣🤣 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYbTqnt9obqHbrc 🤣

[@KVLwrites]

I still can't believe I'm gonna miss a band I've only just discovered.

[@AustinTXSlasher]

I feel like such a dingus for missing this band. I'd not heard their stuff until this morning - a friend played this song on his radio set last night and said a lot of people had asked for it. So he posted this video this morning. Ever since, I've been doing a deep dive into their music, and for the most part, I'm really loving it! RIP Benjamin Curtis, you, Alejandra, and Claudia made some beautiful music together!

[@williamstepp3553]

The only thing as good as this band is the word dingus. Never heard it before.

[@theanonymousmobilegamer7548]

This song is heavily underrated

[@MisterRedBlueBlur]

Forza Horizon 3, a black 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am and this tune, while racing the Goliath circuit.🤗

[@SuperpowerBroadcasting]

This is one of the best songs of the last 10 years. Seriously.

[@92dunbar]

Just heard this on Horizon 3, amazing track! Fits the tone of the game perfectly.

[@Blackout_1692]

[@DesertRainReads]

Indeed, a very pleasant surprise for sure. Great song that happened to be perfectly placed on Forza Horizon 3's soundtrack.

"From a crushing sleep You told me all you saw was diamonds You told that until I believed"✌️😎 ✨💖

[@duncanwcraig9668]

I was in a record store in early 2012, in Sydney, and wanted to buy something new, something good. Young dude behind the counter said try this. So i bought Disconnect from Desire. Then i saw School of Seven Bells live on June 22, 2012. what a band! Love you forever! And...RIP Benjamin Curtis.

[@cthoolhoo1441]

I first heard of them on NPR of all places. There was a short bio and then "Windstorm" played. I happened to be driving right past one of the local indie music stores, so I just went in and found DFD on cd. It then became one of those listen-on-repeat albums that cause me to be nostalgic for when automotive disc-jockeying was a thing ♥

[@glennbrendan4446]

This song is an amazing requiem to a lover, partner and collaborator. I feel so viscerally moved by it. Every note, every lyric. It sets my soul Ablaze.

[@swarthysoul]

me too

[@monomikro]

wonderful album ... Benjamin is proud of you ... Alejandra, please don't stop with music...

[@awrygargoyle]

How could I have known the god of my youth would come crashing down on my heart? I thought that I knew love that love was a scornful thing that fed on a fading flame that held the world together for me and when it died I fell apart The day we met there was a new fire whose heart had been drowning for so long When I was dark you found a glowing ember and set my world into a blaze again How could I forget? You saw the stars in me when I had sunk into the black you never thought to leave you were the drug to bring me out from a crushing sleep you told me all you saw was diamonds you told me that till I believed The day we met there was a new fire whose heart had been drowning for so long When I was dark you found a glowing ember and set my world into a blaze again And… You set my heart ablaze you set it all ablaze again (when I was dark) you set my heart ablaze you set my heart ablaze again The day we met there was a new fire whose heart had been drowning for so long When I was dark you found a glowing ember and set my world into a blaze again

[@section8usmc53]

Are you sure it's "and when IT died I fell apart" and not "and when HE died I fell apart" ? To me this sounds like it was about Benjamin Curtis, her band mate and partner, who died of T- Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, before this album was made. I realize that there are many lyric sites that have it down as "it", but I've found that several songs I found the lyrics to were incorrect, after listen to it with good headphones, or a good car stereo. This though, because it has that airy and floaty, smoothed over sound to it, makes it difficult to distinguish that one short word.

[@Harshalcv11]

@@section8usmc53 Pretty sure it's ... when he died I fell apart.

[@shelookstome8727]

@@section8usmc53 I was under the impression they had written everything before he died?

[@samsundquist]

It’s definitely “it.” These lyrics were primarily written before Curtis’s death.

[@Nightmike1989]

Terrific is how School Of Seven Bells has to be remembered, this practically became my favorite track after many others, that were and still are favorite tracks, they will forever be a truly one of a kind band in all of music.

I wonder why such great music by SVIIB never got them wild popularity. So much more deserving than many two bit acts in You tube and certainly much more deserving than some of the multi-million dollar acts who can't really do good music.

[@HalimaKhanFashionicide]

Ben would be so proud. RIP.

[@folkblues4u]

Forza Horizon 3 soundtrack brought me here! And glad it did! Great song!

[@KOSMIKFEADRECORDS]

Forza must have a killer soundtrack to feature this! I keep seeing "Forza brought me here" on all my best indie rock discoveries!

[@DesertRainReads]

@@KOSMIKFEADRECORDS Forza Horizon soundtracks usually have a few damn decent songs on them. This happened to be one of them and yes, it is on Forza Horizon 3's soundtrack, I heard it myself and ended up getting hooked. It's just an amazingly dreamy song, shame the band broke up after Chris's death, because they were seriously frigging talented.

[@garneroutlaw1]

Being a fan of Benjamin Curtis' projects/bands for 20 years brought me here.

[@nothisistoni]

I just went through a playlist with a friend and they asked a few times where I got those songs from or how I got to know some bands and 50% of my answers were "Forza Horizon" :P

[@maxcruel00]

Please Alejandra, keep making songs! Don't matter the croud. Your song has healed my thoughts, my relationships and I know that every SVB fan agree with me! Benjamin's proud of you

[@BenjaminOfIowa]

Ben would be so proud of you.

[@tylerwhitworth3797]

I recently discovered this band only to find out about the tragedy they experienced... only to be shocked it’s origins was Secret Machines... one of the formative bands of my youth and one of my first albums. Love your music!

[@dontalkt2meboutheroes]

I love the layering of the vocals.

[@frontiercat8568]

These layers of vocals are outstanding.

[@algimantaskvecys3581]

Vocal layering at it's best

[@mentattodd]

Secret Machines was touring with On!Air!Library! in 2007 when Benjamin Curtis and Alejandra Deheza met. Interestingly enough Secret Machines was formed by brothers Ben and Brandon Curtis, while On!Air!Library! was formed by sisters Ali and Caudia Deheza. Ben and Ali left their bands and along with Claudia they formed SVIIB (named after a rumoured thieving guild out of Columbia). Ben and Ali were romantic until about 2010. They wrote this song together, but Ben never got to hear it on the radio as he died in 2013. This song, among many others, were released in 2016 on their last album, self titled SVIIB.

[@philwatts]

How to get the most out of any road trip: 1) Only go out at night. 2) Pretend you're Alejandra from the "Ablaze" video. 3) Be grainy.

[@yayisavedzelda]

Still one of my favorite songs ever. Thank you Alejandra and Benjamin for making the world better with your music.

[@PinkSheep01]

Never played FH but my release radar did bring me this song in 2016 and has consistently been one of my most favourite songs ever since. Always in the top listened songs eaxh year since. Somehow, someway stumbled across a new copy of SVIIB in my local record shop here in Limerick, Ireland, and was so shocked to see it. Snatched it right up. What a song, what an album and what a fucking great band. School of Seven Bells forever.

[@eystrasalt]

Thanks, Alejandra and... please, don't stop making music. Greetings from Poland

Requiescat in Pace Benjamin. Blessed to see this band live summer 2012. My woman and I were arguing,very memorable evening.

[@jimgagne3801]

This song is almost magical, It makes me float, or drift from reality in a way. The melody is like dreaming wile awake? almost in a way, as though you set your alarm clock to the time you have to wake up for work and you hear it go off and you are in that stage where you are awake and know you have to get up and start your crappy day, but just lay there. and then start to drift trying to hang on to thoughts but you lose the feeling of time passing. and somewhere in the back of your mind, you are just happy being where you are.... drifting. And then the song ends.... And you jump back to this ... and realize you are an hour and a half late for work. Crap. did it again.

[@ghostangus73]

Truly Beautiful. I'm just a drummer in Dallas, TX. But i want to give props. This is awesome.

[@teofeo333]

so depressing when you'e going to see a band and they cancel the set...then one of the band members passes away. I still weep RIP love you xoxo

She is so talented with a beautiful voice. It's so sad the writer died. I followed this band. Especially when my husband got cancer for some reason it was the only band I related to. And when he died this album came out. I know it's silly but SVIIB really gets me out of my depression

Leviticus 16:12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail: 2Samuel 22:9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 22:13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled. Psalms 18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 18:12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. 18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. Proverbs 25:22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee. Songs of Solomon 8:6 Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. Isaiah 44:19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree? Ezekiel 1:13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. 10:2 And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight. John 18:18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself. 21:9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. Romans 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

Movement. Momentum. Vibrations. Sound. To be alive is to be in motion. To be still is not. The vibrations of sound fade into the void when there is no one there to hear, but renew themselves in the individual having open ears and an open heart to hear. As hearts and minds increase in number we manifest our existence and establish its value with love through sense and sound. As we receive the momentum of life through the force of love we taste of its fruits and feel the joy of life's manifestation within ourselves. We are then able to give life back to the continuum of eternal love throughout the universe with our own unique imprint giving us validation as new individuals who are ever part of the ever increasing one. Love is infinite and ever increasing. When I hear Alejandra, Claudia, and Benjamin's music I feel infinite and eternal love ever increasing. Thank you Alejandra, for being so strong. Your strength has helped me in a difficult time. Benjamin's words will echo in the eternities through the power that gave him those words. Love...
