beach house - on the sea (slowed + reverb)

Beach House is probably one of THE most underrated duos

This song captures the ineffable sense of relief you get when you stop struggling against existence.

A rush of everything when you feel nothing.

i usually never comment but at this point in my life i question everything; existence, my friends, my family, my decisions, and i reflect on all the memories i will never get to re live. i’m 16 and i feel like i’m wasting my life. i don’t do anything great or amazing. i feel like i should be doing more or helping other people?? i sometimes feel like i’m not myself but i also don’t really know who i even am at this point? i don’t do anything amazing or great. i’m kinda boring. i feel like i’m wasting my “teen years”. i feel down all the time. i don’t know why? i have friends, family and a house. but something feels missing. why do i feel such a hole in my heart? i feel like i’m missing something or someone. i feel so horribly empty. right now it feels like life to me is simply just existing everyday with fleeting moments of joy always overtaken by sadness. i know this’ll get lost in the comments but i needed that to come out. if you read this far thanks and i hope you find the closure you’re looking for.

and there is another joy - reading comments. This comment section is pure and beautiful and full of real emotions. I can understand and feel every single one of them because at some point we are the same

whoever has my voodoo doll please give it a hug

This song H U R T S so much more now

Always nice to see how the lofi community manages to maintain a nice, emotional and pure comment section.

My dad passed away a few weeks ago. I'm feel deep hole in my heart, I dont know its like a part of me is dead. I just wanna feel your hug again, dad. I love you forever

A few years ago, my cat suddenly became ill over night and we had to put him down the very next day. In the evening of that dreadful day, this song came up on my playlist and it just hit me so hard; I had never really payed this track much attention until that night. So, now it serves as the lasting memory of my best friend every time I hear it.

i just want this whole corona thing to be over

The saddest part about life is when the person who gave you the best memories becomes a memory

Whoever's listening to this and going through a rough patch in life please know that we're all in this together. Though we've never seen each other's faces or spoken or touched we are all united by a deathless starry sky that our lives sail underneath. This journey is a long one and the ephemeral nature of our happiness here leaves us longing for better times. But sometimes our loneliness here never seems to want to part ways with us and it makes us think crazy things. Things that we would surely end up regretting in the end. Please know your hard times are only temporary and whatever's hurting you will surely leave you soon. I hope you all live long and happy lives filled with many happy memories of people you love/are going to love. ~Peepee

I’m crying now Wishing life is the way I want it to be

When you come back after a long day, you sit down and you reflect back on your life; you cry. You cry because you remember the good and the bad. Every emotion you can possibly remember from the past comes back to flood your conscience. How bittersweet

1:54 - 2:00 gives me chills and forever will, everytime i hear that part i imagine it playing in the sistine chapel while i look at the ceiling while the sound echos

Imagine this.. while sitting on the rooftop watching the bright sky and moon and some sweet little breeze swingin the trees and makes a calm leaf sound. And her head is on your shoulders while she embraces your arm with your arms on her waist, and just being silent the whole night enjoying what nature can give us.

i listened to a lot of beach house, and this song specifically, when i was suffering from the worst anxiety/insomnia i’ve ever gone through (all while trying to do well in college and adjust to the new relationship i was in). i was still trying to get over trauma from my past relationship and adjust to finally being happy. In hindsight i could see my struggles then (anxiety/insomnia) stemmed from that. on the sea helped me truly feel at peace and gave me hope that i could push through. Now after many months i’m finally able to see over the crest of the mountain of hardships i’ve been through over to the other side, and i’m as close as ever to feeling contempt.

Currently in bed at 2 am lookin out my window staring at the stars while thinking of my purpose in life, what is my purpose ? Everyday around me I see people working their everyday job just to earn enough money for food and to be consumed by materialism, everybody seems to be trapped in a cycle of consumerism and no real purpose, is there a goal of humanity I’m not seeing, it’s too late to explore yet too early too explore the depths of space , I wish to find a goal for humanity and is my life contributing to any real bigger picture or will I grow up trapped in the same cycle of working sleeping and eating , as a teen going to college in a matter of a year I question how I can, if at all, impact as much people in a positive way just like this beautiful song

Thank you so much I’ve been looking for this slowed and reverbed it’s criminally underrated
