    I'm a Boomer and I'm 64. I've left my gen's music for this era's music and newer stuff. My gen was dominated by what I call "new souls," typically bipolar, noisy, hectic, unsettled, etc. This band and its gen are what I might call "old souls," typically mellow, contemplative, passive, patient. The 90s were changing times. Today, the old soul might not be dominant, but it's definitely here.

    Lyrics
    There's a buzzard of gulls
    They're drumming in the wind
    Only lovers alive
    Running in the dark
    Anna rolled away
    Said we never wanted much
    Just a rollercoast'
    Our love was never number one
    Sugar for the pill
    You know it's just the way things are
    Can't abide the sun
    This jealousy will break the whole
    Cut across the sky
    And move a little closer now
    Lying in a bed of greed
    You know I had the strangest dream
    Anna rolled away
    Said we never wanted much
    Just a rollercoast'
    Our love was never number one
    Sugar for the pill
    You know it's just the way things are
    Can't abide the sun
    This jealousy will break the whole
    Anna rolled away
    Said we never wanted much
    Just a rollercoast'
    Our love was never number one
    Sugar for the pill
    You know it's just the way things are
    Can't abide the sun
    This jealousy will break the whole

      The song is beautiful. But it reminds me of something I once had forgotten a long time ago - that we are drifting down a river, far far away from here. We build facades to mask our reality. But in the end, it all comes crumbling down. And that is where the beauty lies. Because finality itself is beautiful. And that is what the song means. Our whole waking lives have been a lie.

    I started listening to what is now called "shoegaze" in the late 80's. Before that as a mod I listened to Jam, Secret Affair, Chords...so 79'. It all started with my bloody Valentine that I really felt emotionally understood. Then came all the other bands from the Creation label and some others. At some point I became depressed because I no longer felt my body properly due to this "dream sound" and drugs. It was all so antisexual too. We all got so shy and uptight. Then I listened to Straight Edge... This newly recorded song brings me back the old good feeling where everything started for me 31 years before. THIS SONG IS BRILLIANT

      Thank you for sharing, you are articulating feelings I hold but had trouble describing.
      It's like I want to share this kind of music with everyone I care about but it just seems to alienate me more. I've had sex to this kind of music but have grown asexual the more I submerge myself into musical collages. And the ironic part, is that i'm perfectly content with that. The wiser I grow, the more I connect with my dad who after separating from my mom, just immerses himself with his grateful dead tape recordings. I never understood why he never really dated after my mother but wasn't ever really jaded or unhappy. There's a safety and comfort from listening to deeply contextual music on your own terms and time.

      I get what you mean. These new Slowdive songs would be about Gen X facing middle age while clinging onto whatever rebellious, creative spirit they still have from their earlier years, meanwhile probably smiling proudly at their legacy being picked by new generations of shoegazers. Most hardcore shoegaze fans would complain about too many Souvlakis but I'd personally prefer it if today's shoegazers cite Slowdive as their major influence along with MBV, Lush etc. rather than forgetting about them at all.

  • @sepptimber9126
    @sepptimber9126 Před 3 lety +25

    I think that I know why people have this notion of "listening to something that reminds them of past times" while listening to music like this. Happens to me, and happens to a lot of people. The music Slowdive does, connects somehow with our past, with our teen spirit, our lost youth. Those that for wherever reason let that time pass, or think that they didn't quite lived the moment, or simply now they are struggling with life and miss those times where they didn't have to worry about so much, are the ones which feel that burst of melancholy the most.
    In my case, with only 29 years old, Slowdive connects with past times of youth (my 16's-20's), the time that I feel I should have lived without fear of making mistakes or regret, the time that I should have spent with my friends and loved ones, and live my life, seizing the moment without worrying about tomorrow ("there will be enough time for worriness" I should have said to me) because everyone knows life is short. And I guess that moment of clarity came too late. That feeling of losing something you cannot find anymore, of losing part of your life in a blink of an eye and not being able to do something about it, is a heavy burden when you think about it. For the last years, I had to carry that guilt, because I lost so much friends and opportunities that hurts with only just recalling it and the fact that now I'm in a moment of my life where I feel lost, does not help. And this music it's the spark that ignites these emotions and a lot more, but in a more romantic way, like I don't want to create bad blood towards myself anymore, but I would just want to remember and feel those times, even though the melancholy is real and still hurts. To be honest, sometimes I wonder if listening to this kind of music is good for my emotional health. But I suppose, I deserve to feel this way. And I will listen to Slowdive forever.
    PD: Sorry for my english, It was hard to put in words my emotions. Greetings from Barcelona, Catalonia.

    [Verse 1]
    There's a blizzard of gulls
    They're drumming in the wind
    Only lovers alive
    Running in the dark
    [Chorus]
    Anna rolled away
    Said we never wanted much
    Just a rollercoast'
    Our love was never number one
    Sugar for the pill
    You know it's just the way things are
    Can't abide the sun
    This jealousy will break the whole
    [Verse 2]
    Cut across the sky
    And move a little closer now
    Lying in a bed of greed
    You know I had the strangest dream
    [Chorus]
    Anna rolled away
    Said we never wanted much
    Just a rollercoast'
    Our love was never number one
    Sugar for the pill
    You know it's just the way things are
    Can't abide the sun
    This jealousy will break the whole
    [Instrumental]
    [Chorus]
    Anna rolled away
    Said we never wanted much
    Just a rollercoast'
    Our love was never number one
    Sugar for the pill
    You know it's just the way things are
    Can't abide the sun

That was back in May of 2017, and I've never quite felt the same when i listen to this song, but I remember. It only took four minutes for this song to have a permanent spot in my life and for it to fuse it self with a part of my life that this song didn't even exist yet.

    Its 3:12 AM right now. I just drove back home going through New York City. The city that never sleeps. Just like my life, thinking about my life in NYC growing up when it was perfect. The childhood, my sister when she was alive. This song sort of takes me back. The city has been the same, ray of hope with its glistening lights yet a lot has changed. The street I grew up on. The problems I face now. The challenges that lie ahead. I know I cant change the past, we never can, but we atleast hold the power to change the future. I hope to one day move back to the city that has my childhood so I can relive those innocent moments. Until then, I will keep going for how many ever heart beats I have. Its nearly 4 am now. My soul is tired, my body is fatigued but somehow this song reawakens my heart int thinking tomorrow is another day closer to what I dreamed of achieving. Stay classy everyone and stop dreaming, wake up and pursue your them now.

    was the background of the show.
