Beach House - PPP

It's funny how a guitar solo can make you think about the times you had and the times you lost and how beautiful life can be.

I could die to this song.

The guitar solo is one of the most emotional musical moments I’ve ever heard. Painfully beautiful

“It won’t last forever, or maybe it will.” Always kills me, so simply eloquent and beautiful

I love this song because it perfectly captures the essence, the feeling of what it is to truly fall in love and have the realization that you are willing to risk almost anything for one person. The song starts out by saying "Are you ready? Ready for this life?", meaning the singer has realized she has reached a deep level of attachment in her relationship, maybe she's thinking about children, or marriage .But at the same time, she knows what she's feeling isn't permanent, and it could very well go the other way. She's "tracing figure eights", or writing infinity signs, "on ice in skates". In other words, she's confident in saying her love is eternal, yet is keenly aware that her relationship has the inevitability of falling apart someday. She's skating on thin ice. It's almost like marriage, in the way we make our vows saying we'll spend our lives with another being, all the while we know we're taking a risk, because it will end one day. And yet, we still fall hard, knowing fully that there is an expiration date to love, "It won't last forever/ Or maybe it will" whether it be a break-up, seperation, divorce, or death, we are so frail to this inevitable truth. Love dies, but we still let it consume us. The song is called PPP because of the nature of love, the "Piss Poor Planning" aspect of it. We never expect to fall in love, but when it does, it is so strong, and so many of us are not ready for it. I just adore the ending of the song because it's such a cathartic embodiment of how exactly this feels, the madness of spending your life with one person, the craziness, the melancholia of possibly leaving them, and the never- ending joy of having another soul love you as much as you love them.

I could write a million novels based on all the feelings this song gives me

when shes says....."are you ready.. ready for this life" i cry inside so hard from all the broken promises.

I miss you mom. Thank you for this song.. “did you see it coming, it happened so fast”, Ya, I dont know my mom would leave me in this world.. anything can be happened, take care your family, take care your father and mother, tell that you love ‘em.. When listen this song, I feel like my mom smile for me from heaven.

Imagine ice skating to this song... true bliss...

This song makes me want to cry. It's auditory velvet.

I don't want to forget this song and I want to comment here so that people who like my comments can be reminded of this song

This is it. This is their masterpiece. Their whole discography is beautiful but this, this is it.

this has to be the shortest 6 minute song I've ever heard

i beleive this is what heaven literally sounds like

On quarantine days, I'm listening to this in front of the air conditioner. Then I close my eyes and imagine that I'm on the top of a sea cliff at a night full of stars. With a lover..

I almost died twice having my baby and whenever I play this song now I think of my daughter and just dance with her whenever I have the chance to hear it with her. I love this song so much. It’s perfect.

This is my favourite Beach House song. Not just from Depression Cherry, but ever. The spoken words kill me. Also this album is made of velvet. I pet the LP every night.

Melancholic loveliness. Happy and sad.

best song ever ngl

i went to a beach house concert two days ago and i can’t even explain how this song broke me when they played it, i cried like haven’t cried in such a long time, it was so intimate and comforting, it felt like everything around me was holding me so tenderly. I felt so small in the universe but not alone. Truly one of the best experiences i’ve ever lived and provably the best night of my life.
