One of the most beautiful songs ever written. As surprised as I am that it isn't more popular I'm actually glad:let this forever be a hidden gem. You only arrive here after a long quest.

sometimes i worry about you, the stranger reading these words through a screen in the dark. the stranger who is fighting a war by yourself. it's not easy being you but you do it to the best of your abilities. it's not easy being you and yet you survive on nights like this. you inspire me so much despite being a stranger. you inspire these words as you continue to fight for the love you deserve. i know it feels like moving on is impossible and sometimes you don't even know where to start but I hope you know that there's a power that lives within you. a power that no one can destroy. a power that can be used to set yourself free. sometimes i worry about you but then i remember how strong you are. i believe in you, please believe in yourself.
take care.

A little rant, but i got an epiphany right the instant i played this song. Ive always womdered why im drawn to sad/melancholic music. Finally, i get it. Im mot an expressive person, i never ever express my feelings. My friends know me as the cheerful, friendly, nice guy. I am. And im proud of that. But, its because i never express my feelings. I dont wven remember the last time i cried, probably when i was 14 years old. Im 22 now. And even then, its because i watched bridge to terabhitia. Sad songs let me embrace that feelings, that bottled up emotions that i never seem to express. I feel a sense of relief having typed this down. Probably it will be buried under the depths of commenta this video gets but at least, i get to write this down, somewhere.

I've noticed how most people commenting on here are talking about the song itself, yes the song is beautiful... but this video! Wow a very powerful little story, goes amazingly with the song. Touched my heart

[marcog]

I want to marry someone who would listen to this kind of music with me

Stuck indoors here in the Scottish Highlands with heavy rain for the last 24hrs and accidently came across this absolute gem. So glad it's raining.
Still listening to this in 2023 but at least the rain has stopped.

I always pop in to see this song, its like a really old friend. Someone you can trust. Beautiful.

It's almost been 5 years that i discovered this song and still can't get over it. It's priceless for me.

This is by far my favorite Beach House song, and possibly one of my most loved songs of all time. The subtle buildup to that beautiful crescendo, the gentle exit. The structure of this song, the lyrics, the emotional impact it has on me, it really, really moves me. To me, it is as perfect as music can be. Thanks for making a grown man cry, Beach House.

Wouldn't you like to know how far you've got left to go? This song makes me weep like no other. A diamond in the ruff.

[oliverleonardomoralesulloa]

my girlfriend likes a lot this song and she always listens to it, I hope she can read this and if you are reading this quetza you are the love of my life

[장미-zj]

this is the kind of song that makes you romanticize how depressed and lonely you are.

[megumi]

This song breaks my heart into thousand pieces. Idk, while listening to this kind of song I can feel my heart beating. It's been a long journey to find this gem.

I heard this song right around the time of my miscarriage. Will always make me cry, and smile. I planted a little ivy with her in the soil and the next day a new shoot had grown 💕 she lives on!

[ajgayjay]

To me, listening to beach house is an escape from the tough reality i have to face everyday, maybe one day my life will be better, i am trying my best but atleast for now i have this magical music to console my soul. All i need is to keep trying to become a better version of myself.

[sfinalgirl]

this is not a coincidence. i was laying on my bed, all lamps switched off, staring at the ceiling, sobbing, thinking of ending it all, & this song played. never heard it before but oh, how familiar it sounded. beautiful words, beautiful animation, & beautiful listeners; i don’t how we found this but we did. beautiful words spoken by all of you. i closed my eyes & imagined us on different shores, staring off into the same sea. we are the tides, breaking with violence, but calming after the storm. we will find peace again. the life we deserve is coming... all we gotta do is stay alive. take care my friends.

[angelstarriddle]

Definitely the best song I've ever heard. So deep, so authentic, so beautiful. A real work of art. I'm very glad I won't die without realizing it. It makes your life more complete.

[hrrsev]

Both the song and its comments section are like a warm hug on a cold night.

Victorias breathy voice is so fucking loving and beautiful.. Imagine someone like that being your mother? Everytime I hear her voice I think "this is what a mother's voice should sound like". Its so nurturing and graceful.
