Lyrics
Sweet thing, I watch you
Burn so fast it scares me
My game, please don't leave me
Come so far, don't lose me
It matters where you are
As the sun hits, she'll be waiting
With the coffins under heaven
Hey hey lover, you're still burning
You're his song yeah (hey hey)
Sweet thing, I watch you
Burn so fast it scares me
My game, don't lose me
Come so far don't lose me
It matters where you are
As the sun hits, she'll be waiting
With the coffins under heaven
Hey hey lover, you're still burning
You're his song yeah (hey hey)
Sweet thing I watch you (burn away)

"It matters where you are." that line changed my whole view on life. The past doesn't define you, don't let it haunt you, it matters what you're doing now. If you've changed for the better, then that's all that matters. It matters where you are.

This song reminds me of someone who i loved. We were on a bus, she was heading home and i don't knew where i was going. But i don't wanted to be home. Suddenly she passes me one earplug, and said something like "do you know slowdive?". I was into grunge and punk at the moment. I said no. Then this starts playing on my left ear. I don't really wanted the bus to stop anytime soon, i wanted (and still want) to live in that moment forever. She got over me and moved to another city to study. I'm still here getting high to this song. And i'm pretty sure that particular bus still drives on the streets. With different lovers in it. Heading home or nowhere.

My grandma passed away on thanksgiving, worst holiday of my life. She practically raised me when my mother couldn’t, and being the oldest I had to help raise my siblings. Guess who helped me when it got hard? She did. It was as if a part of me was ripped away from my hands and I could never get it back. I love her with my whole being. I listened to this song shortly after her funeral, and it’s as if she wanted me to hear it. It makes me feel like I’m still reaching for her warm embrace when I’d cry for her. I miss her so much. This song helped me calm down after breaking down about her passing. Thank you.

Happy 25th anniversary, Souvlaki! A failure when it was released in 1993,yet thanks to the internet and its influences on important bands(Spiritualized,Beach House...), it has gained respect over time. So much that it has earned its place in the holy trinity of shoegaze (Loveless,Souvlaki and Nowhere). Untouchable albums and completely essential for those who want to enter into the shoegaze genre. Its success nowadays is well deserved, receiving your prize after disappearing for two decades. Not an album for its time but a hidden message between the grunge and britpop scenes for the new generations to come,enjoy and listen to it religiously. Congratulations!

[@ultrajayme]

l23amcom how was it a failure!? I was around when it was released and rest assured it was anything BUT!! If you want an album that wasn't right for it's time but still timeless look at Ride, Nowhere.

[@jorgepeterbarton]

@fox pals they can still be influenced by a band thats later than them. Michael Stipe said Radiohead were a major influence on REMs sound for example. But i agree they dont sound alike. Maybe slow songs on ladies and gentlemen? Nonetheless im not sure slowdive did influence much until stuff like beach house era, but thats why its treasure to people.ethereal heart pulling trippy stuff, obviously people would like that! yet few and far between, and some oasis and grunge fans saying its 'too wet' may have made it uncool to some. *Actually Ride influenced a lot, like oasis, proto-britpop for better or worse. *And MBV, well a heck ton too long to mention, included earlier slowdive who had demo cassettes that kind of sound like mbv mixed with cocteau twins almost to a pastiche.

[@shaanchannamsetty9595]

this song is getting over someone you loved and being happy about it because they didn't feel the same way about you, but also being fearful about it because your feelings for them were the only thing that filled your emptiness.

[@Suraniset]

Way too accurate

[@HybridDivide]

When your feelings for someone were so intense, they were a part of your identity. Part of what made you who you are, and you don't know how to exist without them. I've been there. I have to remind myself that I'm not in love with someone. I did for so long, it was a part of me, but it never would have worked out, and I'm ok with that. I really am. But those echoes are still there. I feel them. It's weird.

Listening to this while reading the comments is such an experience; everyone is just having epiphanies at the same time you are

[@nes420]

for me, this song is about death and rebirth. its enigmatic in that sense that it has made me feel like no other song in the world, killing me from the inside then reviving me in four perfect minutes. long story short, i met slowdive when i was 17 and too young to do anything, it was one of the best days of my teen years. my grandfather had also developed cancer that same summer and i felt it deep in my stomach that i would never see him walk, let alone live again. the feeling still lives with me in the present, knowing that there isn't anything i can do to save anyone we lost. at 18 i finally saw slowdive live and was front row and centre. when this song came on, the feeling in my stomach came back briefly and but i remember rachel looking in my eyes and smiling and the agonizing discomfort subsided for a moment. to this day, hearing when the sun hits live is a highlight of every concert I'd seen. i came home that night quite late and found upon arrival that grandpa had just passed as i was gone. i think it is beautiful that i have this song to remember him by, even if he has never heard it in his life i like to think one day we will reunite and i will get to share with everyone all the beautiful earthly things that made our stay here worthwhile. thanks for reading this far, thank you for existing. this song and this band have so many valuable memories attached for us all, which is why were here

[@TheLieWOW]

This song makes me feel in a way so specific. Used to travel states late night to see a girl I dated, old friend of mine, and I always listened to this album while in the bus. Kinda sleeping, kinda awake, in a twilight of dream and reality, always playing these songs. The old air-conditioning wind in my face, the smell of gas and the muffled sound of the engine running, the dark road and the sky full of stars; the broken heart, the taste of resentment in my mouth and a solid certainty that I would get her back -- and slowdive. Just listening to it makes my stomach ache.

[@tiamariacake]

I listen to this song whenever sadness gets me. It makes me feel sad but in a good way I think? I feel a kind of comfort, the kind of comfort that I crave from a real person (doesn't matter who the person is) and it also makes me feel good about feeling lonely. It's okay to be lonely. So what if there's no one by my side? I'm here for myself.

[@_zone7372]

So glad these comments are still here. It hurt seeing a lot of comments on other Slowdive songs disappear. Probably like most people, this was my gateway song. Now I have a 7 hour playlist full of every song of theirs I could find. I see a lot of people here who associate this song with someone they once loved. For me, though, this song makes me think about myself. Sometimes I feel like my candle is burning at both ends, and I’m just letting it happen. Slowdive comforts me.

[@unconsciousness5251]

From time to time I come back to this song and many others, I read the comments and I start to cry really hard because of the amount of vulnerable emotions people talk about in the comments. I find those feelings so intimate and it makes me crave so bad to have a soul to soul, mind to mind and body to body connection with someone. I just want one person to love and to love me back. I’m just 19 but I never had a first love yet. Boys were never interested in me. For me it is really hard to let a person in. I tried to let someone in a few months ago for the first time but he never really liked me and only wanted me for his s*xual pleasure but I didn’t want to rush into anything and he didn’t like that so we broke up. He was the first guy I ever kissed. Two weeks after the break up I kissed another guy at the club cuz I was drunk. We started talking a lot and became friends. We went out a few more times at the club and kissed everytime. He seems to really like me and I like him too but I just don’t feel that spark that everyone is talking about. We went out just the two of us and we talked a lot and he stared to hug me and be more touchy but I just don’t like to be touched like that. He didn’t do anything wrong or inappropiate. It’s just that I have so much anxiety with new people and s*xual stuff makes me unconfortable. The first guy always put pressure on me to do stuff but I just wanted to have a connection with someone first and than go on with s*xual stuff. It is probably not a big deal but I just wanted to say what I feel in a place that I feel safe. I hope everyone is safe and I wish you an amaizing life.

You have unrealistic expectations, if you like to talk with them you already made a special connection there really is nothing much more. When we are young we tend to think we’ll make a lot of special connections only later do we realize it literally happens a few times in life

@@NaumB ​ i disagree. i’m a 16 year old girl and i’ve met many different kinds of boys. there was only one that gave me a different kind of feeling. we instantly clicked. i don’t believe in soulmates, but i do believe in special connections that are different than most. i was young and immature(still am) but i took it for granted and let him go. i’ve let other relationships go and felt nothing quite like i did that time. this is not meant to be rude, i just think it’s very important that people don’t settle for less. sometimes, enjoying a conversation with them isn’t enough. you’ve got to have that indescribable feeling. i hope you can understand what i’m saying. please don’t settle until you’ve found the one!

hey. I just want you to know that it's okay to not feel a connection with people at first.
