LYRICS
Someone told me I’m a water sign
That means I move among greater minds
Suspend between then drain
Dry up like the weather
It’s wrong and forgotten
But it feels so right
And I just love the way the fabric lies
And light reflects the thread you might want to sever
I hope not forever
I see you sick, I see you fine
And you don’t mean to be unkind
Though I know way down
That I am out of heart when out of sight
I keep a flame burning inside
If you need to bum a light
Body working but your brain is shot
And all good tidings are the first forgot
But you hold a lot and i know I’m kind of a bummer
Watching closely for some kind of clue
That I mean anything at all to you
If your world collapses
I’ll be down in the rubble
I’d build you another
I’ll wait out the summer
I love you sick, I love you fine
And you don’t mean to be unkind
Though I know way down
That I am out of heart when out of sight
I keep a flame burning inside
If you need to bum a light

I hope I never forget how I feel when I hear this song.

I sure hope you didn't

It is I, the Italian Hipster, on his eternal quest to find hidden music gems. Another one to add my collection.

[@bluerev]

One of the catchiest and most consistently brilliant songwriters I've heard in a long time. Song after song after song after song of pure perfection.

[@fshoaps]

You need Brian Douglas Wilson in your life as a concrete fixture, son.

[@bluerev]

@@fshoaps I know who Brian Wilson is, and have plenty of stuff by the Beach Boys in my collection. That doesn't prevent me from being able to see and enjoy the brilliance in a lot of modern music. But thanks for the suggestion!😉

Their FB post for this video said they had a lot of fun trying to see who could lift up the binoculars the most dramatically. All I can do now is giggle when they look through them. I think the glasses up one might be the best.

[@davidmarple4422]

Would have been funny if one of them looked through the binoculars from the wrong end...lol

Turning on the radio randomly for a few minutes and the this song came on and I can’t be happier. This is a masterpiece.

Talking to myself, still listening to this song over and over since I heard it. Absolutely love it.

Drummer kills it !

[@corvinc888]

This video definitely deserves more views, likes and comments. Heck, all of their work deserves more of it!

[@ritayucrahallasi9813]

Apenas suenan las primeras melodías de la canción y ya estoy en modo: amo esto, está increíble, mis oídos han sido bendecidos, son unos genios, no dejen de hacer música como esta porque son una de las pocas cosas que me hacen sentir viva.

[@quininde]

Si Rita. Es una maravilla. 🤘🏼

[@GreenHouse_Pictures]

2.40 onwards was enough to solidify this as my favourite song from The Beths. Beautiful.

[@2abug]

Haha Peugeot 205 GTI !! Reminds me of my young days. But the wheel was on the left side ;) Nice song The Beths, keep it on

[@charlieh4607]

seein this performed live in dc was an out-of-body experience. absolutely magical

[@auds9738]

These lyrics cut deep fr, and the instrumentation and musicality are top tier, couldnt imagine a better band!

[@Grassuke]

This song has been on repeat the last couple months as ive reallybeen going thru it.... thank u the beths for such a heartfull banger

[@NewAlternative40Chart]

"Out of Sight" debuted at #7 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!

The riff is so emotional, up there with Cough Syrup by Young The Giant for me

[@rubyhawthorne9615]

This is SO GOOD !! was wary after such a strong debut that there might be a chance of a sophomore slump but this is one of my fave beths songs now,,, love u guys !! 💚💚

[@blayruniverse4682]

They only got better tbh

[@jasonsnusberry3654]

@@blayruniverse4682 their albums so far have been up and up the whole time, I bet the one after expert is gonna be INCREDIBLE I feel like future me was a really good start point with stuff like happy unhappy setting the basis for a "Beths" song, trademarks and everything. This goes on to the second one this is from, Jump Rope Gazers, where they started to gain even more identity in those songs people can find themselves in. The title track is a masterful example of that, some of the most relatable lyrics I can think of and it shows her skill as a writer. The most recent, EIADF, is their masterwork so far. It feels like the ambitions of a concept album with the infused optimism of power pop. a nearly perfect work as a whole and I feel like it should be heralded as one of the best ever made. Honestly, their two most recent studio albums are basically perfect, but I find a small bit more of a strong identity in expert and it's how I found the band. No matter what though, incredible band and Liz should be put up there with the greats in songwriting.

Finally, a music video of people just watching birds 🙂

[@mallolo6737]

this might be my favorite song of all time from DEFINITELY my favorite band of all time. thank you :)))

Y’all are great! Sending vibes from Arkansas!

[@Larry...W]

I usually don't comment twice but to Liz and the Crew, Bravo! I've listened for nearly two days in a row and the album just gets better. This is my favorite song on the album.😀❤

[@camerontjoe5535]

The best music video from Jump Rope Gazers! Dying to Believe was retro wacky, I'm Not Getting Excited was creatively innovative. This one is just awesomely impactful, wonderfully well done and complements the song in a way that I've not seen from the Beths since the Whatever MV. These guys are always making amazing stuff! Can't wait for the LP to come out. Might even get a CD/vinyl copy

[@adamweston4152]

I had the exact same car,same colour too,I miss my 205gti.nice tune,I like it 👍

[@racca_racca]

This is the perfect song to start the day.

[@MahatmaAndhi]

Great song. This album is shaping up to be an absolute banger. I adore the first too. If you had a subtle band logo, I'd probably get it tattooed next to my Bjork and Weezer ones.

Absolutely one of my newfound favorite bands, I love every song, and they just keeps getting better. Lots of love from Oklahoma. P.S. Wonder if you guys would do vinyls, I’d love to get one!

[@jesset7697]

As an FYI they do press their music on vinyl (source: I have Warm Blood and Future Me Hates Me on vinyl, and have the new one preordered for vinyl already). They sound great. Definitely worth picking up imo

[@disfibulator]

I received my Jump Rope Gazers vinyl a few days ago. Beautiful orange and sounds amazing.

[@quininde]

I’ll second or third that. I have the last 2 on vinyl. Both are great pressings.

[@Sinflux420]

Such a fantastic song!! Saw you guys in Dallas a couple weeks ago--can't get enough!

[@Bisham0ntenno]

So disappointed I won't be seeing them in Austin; sadly, the conference I was supposed to attend there was cancelled, and I won't be there for the re-scheduled date. :( Great video, amazing song, and an awesome car, BTW.
