Shearwater - "Hidden Lakes" (official video)

[@fabiankuntzig6507]

Lyrics: Gone from the house to the snows Like a wandering light You send a last balloon To the solemn light of the moon's eye Over the fields And the arcs of the radial lines That bind the waking world To the hidden life of the empire That sleeps in the frozen lakes And moors in the darkened bays And glows in the golden rays And dreams of us That moves without sound Through the air, through the ground And that streams through each break Carved in the line And dreams of us

[@creast56]

Such a unique style that just captures all emotions.

[@archaist]

You could waltz to this song.

[@lionelmarchais9143]

Kind of mesmerizing.

[@NaeOnYT]

I love this song. The video is unusually lovely.

[@xehpa25]

I was lucky enough to literally stumble across these guys at Sasquatch, amazing band!

[@oceanborn05]

Mind blowing

[@ralphlatham]

Just stumbled across this following a friend add. Awesome stuff! It's definately got that Austin, Texas sound. Bit like Midlake! Always room for some more bands like that around!

[@Starro-d5l]

Completely underrated

[@rymcmanus]

I'm so excited, I get to see them with Damien Jurado this weekend.

[@nikolastelson222]

spectacular...

[@MrsMittens4444]

I usually dont like music like this, but this song is soooo good. I LOVE the video!

[@caramason56]

Absolutely beautiful 🎶🌹🎶🌹🎶🌹

[@TheHzhzhz]

[@amonduultje]

they're are f***ing good

@funfabmegan "That moves, without sound, through the air, through the ground, and that streams through each break carved in the line, and dreams of us" That's the last verse of this song, but I don't see how it's a reference to Yeats. I love the second coming, it's chilling and powerful, if the last verse of this did reference the second coming it'd be a really profound statement, "And dreams of us," the idea of Yeats' rough beast dreaming of us, moving without sound, it's an interesting thought

[@wasabihansen]

great band, overall

[@brionoke]

yes, it's fantastic!!! :D

[@Cannon74com]

well done!!! 11/6/12 in Prague, live, Lucerna Music Bar!!!!!!

[@badgeronmove]

I'm confused too. but song and video are stunning. why did shearwater start shooting videos, or is this an exception and kinda promo?

[@chateaumargo]

Hidden indeed

[@QuintenRheaArt]

where does one find/purchase a copy of Baby Dee's 'So Bad' cover?

[@Brucev7]

@jilkuk Yes! Go Al.

[@uriakramer]

anyone knows what is the almom's name?

[@PiffleWarlock]

9 people disliked this! WTF is wrong wth them?

[@moistwaffles22]

I saw these guys when they opened up for dinosaur jr a couple days ago

[@ralphlatham]

@GabrielsNob agree with that re Peter Gabriel San Jacinto!

[@borgevino]

@funfabmegan the album as a whole references the U.S. nuclear tests on Bikini Atoll and the surrounding islands, I think...

[@DickyG41]

anyone know what kind of dog the big one is? looks like a scottish deerhound, but I didn't think they could be white?

[@QwidgyboMan]

These guys are obviously Simon And Garfunkel fans. Good song all the same.

[@detectivewiggles]

(oh, please cry harder, prettyboy)

[@evanisovich]

Best. Comment. EVER. :D

[@kristenvandehey8332]

Shun the nonbeliever!

[@rymcmanus]

@fruitloops983 haha ikr

[@fizzyb0mb]

@DickyG41 Close, but not quite. Irish Wolfhound. :) Google em.

[@davidjames4993]

Forlorn Time Man with small dog and unlikely eyelashes wanders and scavenges. He naps, dreaming he has a big dog. When he wakes, his dog is gone! He's all sad. Keeps wandering. In some ruins he sees the big dog he dreamt of, and they end up together. At the end he runs across a stranger Land Pirate who has the small dog. Maybe they end up friends, maybe they end up exchanging dogs, but the story ends before we can tell for sure.

[@andrewrolandwales]

The dogs are a little too groomed for my liking - but I love the song!

[@differentwaves]

love this song...the video....uh..not so much..

[@TheBlakieblake]

@rymcmanus me to man in Norman Ok

[@astolennova]

I thought this was going to be about Hidden Latkes. Slightly disappointed.

[@wasabihansen]
