WEYES BLOOD — MOVIES (Official Video - in 4k)

This is how it feels to be in love
This is life from above
There’s no books anymore
I’m bound to that summer
Big box office hit
Making love to a counterfeit
Why did so many
Get a rise out of me
I love the movies

Some people feel what some people don’t
Some people-watch until they explode
The meaning of life doesn’t seem to shine like that screen

Put me in a movie and everyone will know me
You’ll be the star you know you are

The movies I watched when I was a kid
The hopes and the dreams
Don’t give credit to the real things
I love the movies

I know the meaning
I know the story
I know the glory
I love movies

I wanna be in my own movie
I wanna be
I wanna be the star of mine
Of my own, my own
My own
I wanna be, the star

I wanna be
I wanna be the star of mine
Of my own, my own
My own

[jello-boots]

I still can't believe I live in a time where this song exists

[imcyborgbutthatsok]

I wanna be in my own movie
I wanna be
I wanna be the star of mine

[emomu]

Titanic Rising is one of those albums that you just can't listen to in the background. You have to listen to it with all your focus and immerse yourself into the music to truly understand its beauty.

[ruben-xthm]

every single time that i hear that "why" at the beginning i can feel all of my molecules rearrange themselves, and i make peace with nature.

[EM-hlpu]

I usually don’t watch many movies, and many friends ask me why. When I watch a movie, it’s like it touches my soul and everything in it. When I was younger I always thought that it was unfair, because life in a movie is often plain, simple, linear, while my (and everyone’s) life is complicated and difficult. After watching a movie I usually feel empty and drained because I am overly sensitive. Even though this isn’t the topic of this song, it reminded me of this “problem” I had and still have: movies are something beautiful, but they can really hurt me. In the end “the meaning of life doesn’t seem to shine like that screen”, and it’s something hard to accept.

[earlisonline]

this song is really made to be the background music when you’re about to die and a supercut of your life plays in your mind before you lose your breath

[juli]

She wrote and produced this fantastic album ALL by herself. Super talented.

We were on our way home (Denmark) from a vacation to France. We had listened to lots of fun and great music, each of us (my sister, father, mother and I) choosing a song one after the other. It was getting dark, windy, cold, rainy. Sleepy, too. My father then put on this song as I stared out at the lights through a wet window. All four of us were almost completely quiet throughout the entirety of the song. It was as if my father just knew exactly what would we all wanted, needed, to hear at that particular moment. I've rarely had such an emotional reaction to a song that wasn't during a concert, but I remember feeling bliss, comfort and melancholy at the same time. I don't think I'll forget that memory.

Thank you, father and Weyes Blood.

[PurpleLemurs]

Holy shit. This popped up on my Spotify and this is literally one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard. It took me to a different dimension I swear.

[MrBreadisawesome]

The declaration “I want to be the star of my own” is some beautiful symbolism especially given the otherwise uncertain nature of the album. Within all that uncertainty and change - looking for something to believe or hold onto - there is in every one of us the capacity to turn it into something beautiful. To see life for its beauty and actualize our potential to become something more. To become the lead role in our own lives and be a positive force in this chaotic world.

She even says in andromeda, “we all want something new but can seem to follow through”. Movies is a beautiful moment of clarity in the album. Its like one of those moments where everything seems to click and you feel like you could do anything. But the irony is that real life isnt a movie. It doesnt always pan out with a story book ending. It almost never does. But “i want to be the star of my own” is self aware in its own irony. She is saying that even though life will never be a movie, she still wants to make the most of the mess. And thats pretty beautiful if you ask me. What more can anyone truly ask for? Thats what being a star really means

[chaeriplease]

This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever created

[ardenkeys]

Literally one of the best songs ever created. Like imagine being able to say this is your song

[patrickkurmann]

You already think you found the perfect song. Then 3:58 arrives leaves you speechless.

What an incredible piece of art

[CinnamonAnn]

imagine coming up with a song like this omg

[nicksilva]

this song makes me fucking levitate. i finally watched the video for the first time tonight. holy fuck. this. . this is a masterpiece. this is one of the best songs of all time.

[furioussebas]

I genuinely believe this is one of the best songs to ever exist

[jordaninzitari]

Honest to God, this is one of the absolute best songs of all time. I cannot even begin to fathom how epic and grandiose this is. Wow, just WOW.

[ja_]

The most incredible thing is that she alone wrote and produced the entire album and directed amazing videos like this one as well. Real artist

[daphnelol]

This is genuinely one of the prettiest songs ever made. I feel like I'm floating each time I hear it

[zoo-wee-mama]

Why did I wait this long to finally listen to Weyes, I’m obsessed
