Slowdive - Star Roving (Live on KEXP)

[@euth]

I can listen to this song over and over again. I have autism and when a song does that to me, I know it's truly a great one. The whole album is awesome

[@lievenspietael549]

Same here, friend, I'm not diagnosed with autism. But I'm quite sure now you mention this. This thrills us so much. I can't understand why any other human being is not being blown away by this.

[@brianschmitzer6722]

That might just be the highest compliment for a song that I've ever heard.

[@willowufgood261]

I do the same thing. I wonder if I have autism too

[@Wapiaries]

These guys are criminally underrated.

[@lievenspietael549]

Yeah, but that's only because humanity is criminally stupid in general.

[@aliciangli89]

The album version is beautiful, but this one feels so otherworldly, I feel the sounds are more pronounced and so they give a whole different atmosphere, so ethereal!

[@lievenspietael549]

yeah, I get you

[@EEltonz]

Two words: Neil Halstead.

[@gatogreensleeves]

Yeah, the perfect sonic textures of these guitars come through more clearly in this mix, even if the vox are a little pitchy in this one (unfortunately).

[@scottmclelland9728]

The sound when all the guitars are in perfect harmony makes my head feel weightless.

[@lievenspietael549]

Yeah, not only my head, my whole body haha

[@damarisvanoosten6027]

With this song on repeat i watched the sun go down over a hectic cross section down town. For over 20 minutes i stood there, ignoring the cold creeping up my toes. In awe of the symbioses of music and flowing images. It seemed like the world fast forwarded. And just when i was about to go home the sun illuminated an airplane from beyond the horizon. The igniting of a sulphur head of a match, slowly drawing an immaculate white line. Like it had not a care in the world. Effortlessly gliding, unaware of it's busy schedule.

2.45AM and cannot sleep. Find this on You Tube and listen to the best music ever created by humankind. 2.44AM pissed off and tired. 2.51AM and I am ecstatic and feel as if the universe has just been reborn. Not so much music as soul tonic, Long live Slowdive and Shoe/Nu gaze.

[@zwelicele1207]

Me too I’m still lost till today 😢😢😢

[@annandune]

They wrote and recorded this recently but when I listen to it I am transported back to 1988/89/90/91, somewhere around that time and I am young again and my whole future is ahead of me. I haven't made any of those many mistakes I know I am going to make and the world is a place full of possibilities and potential yet to be discovered. The fact they can make music that makes me feel this way is testament to the fact I shouldn't feel resigned to the idea of the future no longer being an undiscovered wilderness full of wonder. To make music like this you have to be able to still feel this way about the world and if they can, perhaps so can I. Wonderful track.

[@oyarzunro71]

To me this version is better than the original, and this sound gets deeper, great performance for an awesome song.
