The Horrors - Still Life

[@capusmyaka]

For over 10 years, this song has been eternal and unique to me. It has the power to calm me down and give hope for the future. It has the ability to stop time. When I listen to it, I don't need anyone else, I feel at peace with myself. This song never gets tiring, it's perfect anywhere, in any circumstances: on a journey, before sleep, during moments of sadness, and even in moments of carefree dancing. It can lift your body off the ground and take it into space. It's so sweet and everlasting that it can be listened to on repeat, like an infinite symphony of life. This song is the best antidepressant and anxiety pill. That's how i feel. Remember: don't hurry, give it time. Thank you, The Horrors

Hi

[@aleja_kosmonautów]

The whole "Skying" album is a true masterpiece. One of the most underappreciated albums of the last 2 decades.

[@HistoriesPast]

One of the best songs of the 21st century.

[@zachciankowa]

I remember how this song found me in one of the most shitty moments in my life and honestly, all I needed to hear was "things are the way they have to be". Because you know, if something just is the way it is, it might just change one day. For me it did. Stay strong and wait it out.

[@bonchidude]

Change comes from the few that seek it and make it happen.

[@thugginkb]

[@kandimaciejewski3476]

Because this is a message from your soul 😊 Stop trying to get somewhere and just be. Be the peace that is within you. And you will wake up to realize the thing you’ve been missing and searching for is you.

[@fairytalebookreadingsasmr5279]

Yes. This is why im here. Nods

This song lives in my head rent free and I'm 55yrs old and still loving it like the first time I heard it 12yrs ago

[@Stumpyblue]

Has all the dna of the music we loved over the years

[@AdamFreeman13]

This sounds like one of those perfect songs to play at the end of a great 1980s movie, like a Breakfast Club type of movie. Just perfect.

[@Kermitkarma1112]

my exact same thought.. vague and dazey feel to it

[@phoule76]

it's in my 80s playlist, where else could I ever put it, ha!

[@adambentley3171]

Nah man this song evokes thoughts of dropping acid in 1960's Vietnam.

[@vladimirmrtinovic2874]

Dude I watched this on That Akward Moment with zack efron and it’s so good 80’s synth wave, pop/punk, Indie but something about CROZET “Closed Shades” is the song I imagine falling in love too . It’s just so John Hughes-ish I get teary eyed

[@rde4017]

This sounds more like Simple Minds than Simple Minds!

[@augustocaie]

Under a sky, no one sees, Waiting, watching it happening. Don't hurry, give it time, Things are the way they have to be. Slow down, give it time, Still life, you know i'm listening. The moment that you want is coming if you give it time When you wake up, when you wake up, You will find me When you wake up, when you wake up, You will find me Under a sky, no one else sees, Yourself appears in front of me The sky clear, the sun heats (?) I'm here Waiting, what's happening. The moment that you want is coming if you give it time When you wake up, when you wake up, You will find me When you wake up, when you wake up, You will find me

[@joatanaraujo847]

Thank you

[@lamthenews]

theres always one!!!! lol

[@samuelsimmons8078]

Its "The Sun hits" possibly a reference to "When The Sun Hits" by Slowdive.

[@samuelsimmons8078]

Also its "Your shape appears infront of me"

[@juliocesarvelasquez3867]

Precious

[@greenvelvet]

That bass line is so simple, but it's PERFECT for the song. Less is so much more and a great tone doesn't hurt either.

[@boscobongo]

One of the best songs ever written. Absolute stunning

[@saulgordon493]

10 años del disco, skying sin duda es un álbum que supo acoplarse a esa hibridación entre la guitarra y los sintetizadores y que gtan voz de Faris, bien por los chicos.

[@SlowDIIV]

Qué buen comentario, es una gran descripción del sonido de la banda en aquella época 👍🏻

[@janellevillegas4667]

A million views are probably from me. No but seriously there's something about this song that's very nostalgic. It does give a sense of hope and serenity. I like to envision when you pass on and you accept it, a song w this kind of affirmation and warmth guides you. I feel like this song also has the power to open your dream state. These visuals are amazing, but the music is so fucking perfect honestly. It's one of those songs where you can remember the first time you've heard it but also remember the time you were at your lowest and it played like an Anthem, a beacon of change. Idk but i will listen to this song for the rest of my life and still feel extremely moved by it.

[@brendanjordan6780]

Well put.❤❤❤

[@guttergazer]

The ethereal production on this song man...

[@lesli7050]

This is the most emotional song for me, my dad died two years ago and this song remembers me than "When I wake up I will find him"

[@Elvisism]

The end of this track is so, so beautiful and uplifting. Feels like transcending, well, everything bad.

[@Alinda1308]

Some years ago I've listened to this song over and over again while I was on my very first flight. I still have so many beautiful memories attached to it ❤️

Hate that ive never heard this but i hear 24 carrot magic in the air so many times 😩 Cant say any music has saved my life but it would have really helped to deal with stuff if i had known all the amazing bands ive discovered now, then.

[@JoshWeisenberger]

Same here, they are one of the only bands that casts that sense of euphoria

[@JoshWeisenberger]

At least in my opinion

[@margaretcronin4073]

The singer has a very tender truthful delivery, especially on verses. Good songwriting makes it look easy, it isn't.

[@matthewwoodham295]

This is a song I discovered randomly when I was working a few years ago. It instantly had something about it that made me take notice, like not many songs do when you hear them for the first time. The overall production and sound of the song are excellent. Still sounds great now.

[@eericc-ee8gt]

I recently got to know The Horrors and it's amazing how much the voice of that vocalist sounds like Mark Burgess from The Chameleons.😮

[@rohin8616]

This is why the retro 80's has the best music & best beats & lyrics and thank god for bands like this to keep that tradition.

[@hillari1792]

I agree. It was such a great, underrated era of music.

[@Calabi]

*Still life* *The horrors* *July 11 2011* Under a sky, no one sees, Waiting, watching it happening. Don't hurry give it time, Things are the way they have to be. Slow down, give it time, Still life, you know I'm listening. The moment that you want is coming if you give it time When you wake up, when you wake up, You will find me When you wake up, when you wake up, You will find me Under a sky, no one else sees, Yourself appears in front of me The sky clear, the sun hits, i'm here Waiting, what's happening.

Yes, it was indeed, I lost myself that year, I used to listen to this song, and Spanish Sahara from Foals, they gave me hope and here I am, thirteen years later, grateful for the experience I had to go thru and blessed because life is so beautiful

[@TheLRC23]

This music is so beautiful. Why can't there be more bands like this!!

[@frenchkjfan9]

I remember offering the album to a friend when it came out, like it was a little treasure I was giving.

[@borntoclub247]

I'm here again, playing this track that just captures my soul. With most tunes, I always speed them up a bit, but with this one....slow it down, give it time. It's like the slower it gets, the better it is. I've never heard a tune like this before and never will. When you wake up, you will find me, just give it time 🤫👌

It's amazing to see a band progress so quickly in just three albums, from becoming 60's horror garage rockers to being inspired by Krautrock and now 'Skying' which is heavily influenced by the 80's and 90's shoegazing and new-wave.

When I hear this song, I think about the time I met someone at a party a long time ago, that was probably the complete opposite of me. We had some conversation, in a factory like setting located in Philadelphia. Projector screen on a white brick wall playing music videos. He didn't want to dance, but I grabbed him and spun myself around, pulling him close to me. After, we kissed for hours on a couch. I had so much fun that night. This song never played, but similar music. It just brought me back.
