    One of the best memories of my life, I was meeting my girlfriend on a snowy winter’s night, and she was walking out to me across the street from her house as I was trudging through the snow-buried sidewalk.
    I can just remember seeing her coming to meet me under the orange glow of the street lamps with the snow falling all around us, and she looked like an angel, complete with an orange glowing halo above her. I’ll never forget that, because for a moment time went still and I could’ve died then and there and I would’ve been happy

      My friend, I understand as a person; plagued, by 2 'mental breaks' and consequently ended up with 'grand-mall panic attacks' for years. God knows, how, difficult this life-altering experience can change your priorities. I listened to the, "Cocteau Twins" music to help manage my emotions. Your stronger than you know ... !!!
      Plus, remember, only extremely intelligent people have 'mental breakdowns'. The simple reason, is; that, we use more of our brains than the average person.

    You and me
    With our long hair on the gold one
    After midnight we could feel it all
    I'd go anywhere you want to
    You should see
    There's a place I want to take you
    When the train comes I will hold you
    (When the train comes I will hold you)
    'Cause you blow my mind
    On the bridge
    Levitating 'cause we want to
    When the unknown will surround you
    (When the unknown will surround you)
    There is no right time
    There is no right time
    The branches of the trees
    They will hang lower now
    You will grow too quick
    Then you will get over it
    The branches of the trees
    They will hang lower now
    There's a place I want to take you
    When the unknown will surround you
    There's a place I want to take you (for your heart)
    When the unknown will looking for you
    When the unknown will surround you (take my hand)
    As our bodies lift up slowly
    There's a place I want to take you (for your heart)
    When the unknown will looking for you (for your heart)
    When the unknown will surround you (take my hand)

    from 2:29 to 3:11 it's one of the best musical experiences i've ever had. it's like a terrence mallick or a tarkovsky movie or a really powerful and glorious epiphany. the world becomes smaller, life is an rich and enormous existence and yet all things become much simpler, and everything is at hand's reach. i've come to love pretty much all of beach house's songs but this particular section, i will carry it to my last day, i'm certain.

      Oh my God Terrence malick is my favorite director followed by Tarkovsky and Beach House is my favorite band! so happy to see other people relating the aesthetics between all these artists! That line is also my favorite part of the song. I think it could be interpreted differently from person to person but I see it as meaning a rising out of the state of depression and growing from it and becoming a more realized person.

    This song is about two girls who were crushed by a derailing train in 2012. They were sitting on a bridge, with their legs hanging over the street below, and shortly before the train arrived one of them posted a picture of it to Twitter with the caption “levitating”. Knowing that context makes it even sadder.

    A friend of mine lost his wife due to a violent incident that ocurred in his house when he wasn't around. She was 7 weeks pregnant. After some time, he talked to me about a recurring dream he was having; near his old house was a wooden area where he carved their initials in a big old tree a few years ago. In his dream, his wife (with a very terrifying appearance) was trying to coax him to follow her through the wood, until arriving to the previous mentioned tree. There, she would stand in front of him, but her eyes and face were different; kind of like the eyes of "the exorcist's demon" -who later I would know as Pazuzu-. Her face was gaunt, gray and with dirt, all of this according to his own words. Then, she walked backwards into the tree as she was trying to draw him towards too. I remember he said how he could feel the drowning sensation as if you were hit in the chest by a car at 160 km/h. It was a haunting experience; both for him (who was reliving the moment while he was telling me) and for me (as I can still remember perfectly the moment after, when this song came up, that he told me that it was one of his favorites as a way to change the subject).
    He committed suicide 4 days later. That was the last time that I saw him alive. I usually skip this song because of this, even though I still add it in every single playlist that I make. Today, while I was preparing my breakfast, I was listening to one of those playlists when this song started playing. I couldn't change it because I was kneading dough. I started to feel a little uneasy but I did nothing. Now, after 2 years, I can't stop listening to it on loop.

I would give my live to protect women and children that I do not even know. The pain some people are forced to go through I can never wrap my fingers around. The people who commit those crimes are incapable of appreciating this movie that we are all miraculously in. We all need to respect and love each other.

    Apologies, I do not handle advanced English. This song is hypnotic, I can not get away from the sound as soon as I run into it. A great impact has caused me to hear it for the first time; they do not reach the words to express everything that mobilizes it. And cry, because there is a lot of nostalgia, compassion, and other feelings. And to compose the good lyrics of a song, has its merit, but the music here, so amazing, the guitar, the percussion, the "dream" voice of Legrand, the atmosphere of floating love, meets here to make a harmonious ALL , that although it bears the seal of Beach House, in this song they leave such a deep impression in the soul, that the words do not reach to size it. Each person can make him evoke or focus on different moods, or all together. Even at the risk of reducing, I could synthesize it in two words: love and elevation. A great masterpiece has produced this set, deeply moved and grateful that the spiritual world manifests itself in some musicians like them. This song, every time we listen to it, will levitate our soul. Greetings from Argentina

      nobody cares. When you accept the fact that nobody will ever care as deeply as you do about the things you're passionate about or your whole self, that's when you stop caring too. And that's when you stop eating yourself out every single day from the second you wake up to the moment you fall asleep. Actually that's wrong, because you do it subconsciously when you sleep as well.
      Nobody will ever care. That's hust hoow it is..

Some people have no idea how big of an impact there music has on people

    At 3:11 begins the best part, I almost can feel how my feet start to leave the ground slowly, floating, levitating and feeling surrounded by an ethereal peace. Then I can listen to angel's voices singing "there's a place I want to take you...". I keep levitating with my eyes closed, almost crying until I reach the opened doors of heaven at 5:30

    Listened to this on psilocybin yesterday. The song, which is already beatiful, turned into a kind of celestial choir of voices sung by angels. Every single note or beat was full of meaning. I started to cry, because I was overhelmed by how beautiful it was.

    The song talks about an accident that occurred in Ellicott City, near Baltimore in August 2012. Two 19-year-old girls, Elizabeth and Rose, apparently known to Alex Scally, were crushed by coal from a train that derailed just in time. the bridge where the girls were sitting hanging out during midnight. It was a disaster. The girls were found under the carbon rubble in the same place where they were already lifeless, the rubble took weeks to be removed. Minutes before the accident they were uploading photos on twitter, one of them shows their feet raised while they were sitting on the bridge next to the phrase "Levitating". If you listen carefully you can feel the moment, the train approaching... it's not the same song you heard from the beginning. By Liz and Rose 🌹

    I go anywhere you want to
    You should see there's a place I want to take you
    When the train comes I will hold you
    Cause you blow my mind
    On the bridge levitating cause we want to
    When the unknown will surround you
    There is no right time
    There is no right time
    The branches of the trees
    They will hang lower now
    You will grow too quick
    Then you will get through it
    The branches of the trees
    They will hang lower now
    There's a place I want to take you
    When the unknown will surround you

    During a time when my depression was at its absolute worst, I remember going on long walks around the outskirts of town at the same time every night, just as the sun was setting. I would always listen to music and I found this song in particular so therapeutic, just something about listening to this ethereal magic while walking through random forests and fields, and watching the sunset in a state of complete isolation made me feel so free. I’m so thankful I stumbled upon depression cherry, as usually I would stay away from modern pop (if you can call it that) but it instantly reminded me of bands like Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine, even certain material by Smashing Pumpkins. It’s amazing the impact good music like this can have on our lives.
