Beach House - Bloom [FULL ALBUM STREAM]

Each time the next song plays, I always think 'Oh yeah, THIS is the best song on the album'. Then the next song plays and I think the same thing again.

I played this album many times when I was in the university .As a sculpture student, I always worked late at night alone in a studio there. It's like I was in another world. The music was loud but it seemed so quiet at the same time. A loud whisper in the vast space. Sometimes people there came to see me, they mostly loved the music. One time, my friend came in, standing there quietly for a moment and then he asked me " What kind of music is this?". I had no idea what it's called at the time and said "I don't know". He stayed there with me for a while. I really miss that time. (Sorry for my English though :))

all their songs sound so similar without sounding the same

I'll never forget the first time I heard Beach House, pure magic.

i'm convinced that ''on the sea'' has magical properties

beach house is what I unknowingly been looking for all this time. oh my god, thank you for exsisting

myth is such a beautiful track to open an album

1. Myth (0:00) Drifting in and out See the road you're on You came rolling down the cheek You say just what you need And in between It's never as it seems Help me to name it Help me to name it If you built yourself a myth You'd know just what to give What comes after this Momentary bliss The consequence Of what you do to me Help me to name it Help me to name it Found yourself in a new direction Arrows falling from the sun Can you come? Would they come to breach you? Let you know you're not the only one... You can't keep hangin' on To all that's dead and gone If you built yourself a myth You'd know just what to give Do you lie? Oh, let the ashes fly Help me to name it Help me to name it 2. Wild (4:17) My mother said to me That I would get in trouble Our father won't come home 'Cause he is seeing double... Out in the endless green Your eyes are so misleading That's when your car pulls upIts hood is black and gleaming And in a while You start to smile The Earth is wild You've got no time Wild in our ways What we are making Heartless to say: Go on pretending Wild in our ways What we are making Heartless to say: You go, go on pretending... One chance to fall behind The lines that would not let you Can I believe in how The past is what will catch you? And in a while You start to smile The Earth is wild You've got no time Wild in our ways What we are making Heartless to say: Go on pretending Wild in our ways What we are making Heartless to say: We go, go on pretending Wild in our ways Go on pretending 3. Lazuli (9:17) In the blue of this life Where it ends in the night When you couldn't see You would come for me Wonder eyes, motion high And we don't dare slip on by Make us suffer, like no other There's nothing like lapis lazuli Let it go, back to me Like no other you can't be replaced (x7) Like no other you can't be replaced (There's nothing like lapis lazuli) (x6) 4. Other People (14:19) So you thought it would happen Good love, goodbye I know where no one can reach you No, I don't mind, It's your world, why would you fake it? These days go by As you turn around-ow-ow-ow Other people want to keep in touch Something happens and it's not enough Never thought that it would mean so much Other people want to keep in touch Heaven won't keep us together Right place at the wrong time It takes all kinds of weather Distant new skies Somewhere no one can reach us These days go by As you turn around-ow-ow-ow Other people want to keep in touch Something happens and it's not enough Never thought that it would mean so much Other people want to keep in touch Was it ever quite enough? (x5) 5. The Hours (18:44) Can I wait the hours 'Til you find me? Climb up to the tower So that you could see... Violence in the flowers Where they found you Can I wait the hours? Would it be untrue? Climb up to the tower So that you can see All across the hours Frightened eyes Looking back at me Change your mind Don't care about me Frightened eyes Looking back at me Change your mind Don't leave without me Frightened eyes... Made in your reflection So that you could feel Mad in your intentions Fear it isn't real All the recollections Spinning in a field Left in your possession 'Til it isn't real You say, "It isn't real" Frightened eyes Looking back at me Change your mind Don't care about me Frightened eyes Looking back at me Change your mind Don't leave without me Frightened eyes Deeper than you and me It's farther than you could see It's too much to ask? Tell me It's all in a glance, you'll seeIt's deeper than you and me (Now you're gone) It's all in a glance, you'll see (Don't care about me) It's farther than we could be It's deeper than you and me (Don't care about me) Frightened eyes 6. Troublemaker (22:55) Like a hand, you reached out to me The thunder rolls in with the dark Tiny fingers on the edges Watch it unravel, pulling everything apart... In the night, we stay together The walls are shaking in their skin Does it become you, troublemaker? Watch them unravel you, pulling everything apart Someday, out of the blue, it will find you Always, always a face to remind me Someone like you (x3)... You watch the shape these things are taking Do you cry out in your sleep? Does it become you when you're under? Your heart is racing, you're taking everything too hard When you walk away You show me how Come pull me under Someday, out of the blue, it will find you Always, always a face to remind me Someone like you (x3) Someday, out of the blue, it will find you Always, always a face to remind you 7. New Year (27:51) All I wanted comes in colors Vanish everyday I keep these promises, these promises Stranger things will come before you Always out of the way We keep these promises, these promises Can you call it? See it coming? Just enough to tell a story 'bout a Portrait of a young girl waiting For a new year... All you ever wanted Is it getting away? Visions of a feeling The footsteps at bay You were getting stronger Memories again Now you're open wider It's better this way All I wanted comes in colors Vanish everyday I keep these promises, these promises Stranger things will come before you Always out of the way We keep these promises, these promises Won't you write a letter On the page in your own way Write it in a letter On the page, it's your own way... You were getting wiser It's better this way Faces in the mirror Memories again Now look to a feeling It's lighter than breath All you ever wanted Is it getting away? Can you call it? See it coming? Just enough to tell a story 'bout a Portrait of a young girl waiting For the ending of an era Can you call it? See it coming? Just enough to tell a story 'bout a Portrait of a young girl waiting For the new year 8. Wishes (33:17) The roses on the lawn Don't know wich side you're on In a daze, it will change Wishes on a wheel Wishes on a wheel The voices in the hall Will carry on their talking Carry weight you can't take Wishes on a wheelIs it even real? The contact that you make The moment when a memory aches Who can tell? You do it well Wishes on a wheel How's it supposed to feel?... One in your lifeIt happens once and rarely twice One in your lifeIt happens once and rarely twice... The roses on the lawn Won't know which side you're on On that hill, forever still Wishes on a wheel How's it supposed to feel? Wishes on a wheel Wishes on a wheel 9. On the Sea (38:04) Out on the sea we'd be forgiven Our bodies stopped the spirit leaving Wouldn't you like to know how far you've got left to go Somebody's child Nobody made you It's not what you stole, it's what they gave you In or out, you go In your silence, your soul... Would you rather go unwilling? The heart is full and now it's spilling Barreling down the steps Only a moment left In hind of sight no peace of mind Where you begin and I'm defined Daughter of unconscious fate Time will tell, in spite of me In hind of sight no peace of mind Where it begins and we'll be fine Shadows bend and suddenly The world becomes And swallows me in, me in... Whistle to a friend Gentle 'til the end Any way in a name She takes shape just the same 10. Irene (43:37) Though you hardly know her The light's on its way The hand that rests upon it Still wanna stay... No way of recognizing The cat knows the call Fair child is rising There's no mystery at all... It's a strange paradise It's a strange paradise You'll be waiting You'll be waiting... It's a strange paradise (x13) (56:56) The kind you like To come back in Wherever you go No hawk in sight The scenic drive The signs just so The brightened lines Stay by your side Wherever you go The kind you like A comeback kid They told you so Wherever you go No doubt it It's true The light's up Wherever you go No doubt it It's trueThe kind you like No end in sight The rest you know

My god... On the Sea is heartbreakingly beautiful.

Myth is such an emotional masterpiece. Takes me to a place no other song has...

This, for me, will always be their best album. It's an absolute hit from beginning to the very end... So balanced and cohesive, and so emotional. It truly is a masterpiece.

Wishes makes me cry like a bitch, I ain't gonna pretend.

I'm on an existential crisis, and this is amazingly cathartic

How the fuck does one come up with a song like on the sea? That shit blew my mind.

It's so dreamy isn't it?

How these two come up with all this melody - all these lyrics - the sentiment - the grandiose - and the truly ethereal - is proof of the potential of our human spirit when we love what it is we are doing . . .

First song I heard of beach house was Myth. What an opening to a musical relationship

This is honestly one of my favorite albums.  I listen to this from start to finish as often as possible.

I know it sounds odd. I sit down with a cup of coffee, read the walking dead (graphic novel) and play this album. Something about it's dreamy, depressive yet engrossingly joyful tone lends itself to the theme. I stumbled upon Beach House when hearing "hours" played at a coffee house. Asked the dude who it was "ah man it's a band called Beach house. Check em out". So glad I did. Beach house takes me places I want to go. Like a dream you want to dream over and over. Set's me at ease. I don't know how they do it.
