      forrealll I love the imagery my brain conjured. I see it as this: I’m at the end of my lifetime, trying to accept it. within my consciousness, I’m falling a black hole, a prism of light and memories flashing past me as I fall deeper and deeper before finally joining the center, filling the void with the strains of my soul. a climatic voyage to say the least, where I essentially have to face all stages of grief

    For those of us who were early fans of Slowdive (early 2000s for me), we are now running victory laps. We knew in our bones their albums of the 90s were masterpieces, and now we are fully vindicated by their magnificent albums of 2017 and 2023, proving to the world how gifted they are. I'm still assimilating ''Everything is Alive.'' You need to give these songs time. Some of the tracks (Shanty, Chained to a Cloud, The Slab) already have me so bug-eyed with excitement I am listening to them on repeat for days. Heck, the other morning I woke up at 4:45am just to listen to them again and again. I'm hearing so many of my favorite bands and songs in this new album: Blonde Redhead (23); Radiohead (Reckoner and How to Disappear Completely); heck I'm even hearing Cliff Martinez (Son of Placenta Previa). Who would've thought after all of this time Slowdive would be pushing into new frontiers? What a glorious time to be alive.

    Interesting that someone here says they find this track calming. I feel the opposite. From the very start it feels ominous and quite frightening to me. I like it a lot, but it's like the opposite of a lullaby to me. It's cool how we can all interpret and feel music in different ways. The video is amazing too. I especially love the choice of colours used.

      I'm a composer, musician violinist and pianist you both felt what you were supposed to feel a growing sense of uneasiness bevause the upper line of syncopated guitars isrelentless repeated no matter what harmonies under are changing . You are lulled by the repetitiveness of the high mid-soprano line in repearing guitars but the studio reverb and tracery and feedback and other noise on te track collaborate to make you feel as if its one long devastating (tiresome for me)journey in a soundandrain soaked topography .
