If You Built Yourself A Myth
Filed Under Music Mix Up
Beach House has taken up a large portion of my listening time these last couple of weeks. Their new album, Bloom comes out May 15th and it is really amazing.
The single, Myth might be one of my favorite songs of 2012 so far. The soaring vocals of Victoria Legrand are matched with a driving rhythmic melody that you just never want to end.
Bloom 2012 (Sub Pop)
Drifting in and out
See the road you’re onYou came rolling down the cheek
You say just what you need
And in between
It’s never as it seemsHelp me to make it
Help me to make itIf you built yourself a myth
You’d know just what to giveWhat comes after this
Momentary bliss
The consequence
Of what you do to meHelp me to make it
Help me to make itFound yourself in a new direction
Aeons far from the sun
Can you come?
Would they come to breach you?
Let you know you’re not the only oneYou can’t keep hangin’ on
To all that’s dead and goneIf you built yourself a myth
You’d know just what to give
Do you lie?
Oh, let the ashes flyHelp me to make it
Help me to make it

so agree. have you listened to the Lumineers much? their “ho hey” release is great…sort of a “head and the heart feel from them”
