Veronica Falls - Beachy Head

[dieterpetereit]

Wow. Long time since i heard such a shit. One of the worst songs since Joy Division...

[pistolpimp36]

@dieterpetereit Joy Division isn't a song, jackass; it's a band. You can't even troll right.... smh

[MoriKAshi]

Stop looking at the people/fashion, and listen to the music.

They might be assholes for all I know, but I like what I'm hearing.

[MISTERASMODEUS]

I like it...I dont like Hipster...i dont like anything that creates mindless followers.....find a tree in the forest...

[pistolpimp36]

To all the naysayers,this is a good song ; plain and simple.It's catchy as hell ; I'll admit to that , and that is a pop sensibility.It probably sounds too mainstream for you. So , you are , in a way , more of a hater than any hipster I've ever met. Congratulations ,you have topped hipsters in the hate department. Good Job. *claps hands*

[molpr]

fuck hipsters. you faggots could all choke on a huge dick and die

[cordwoody53]

Have a read a few posts on this, blimey some folk don't like Hipsters !!!!, are they dangerous or something ?. Anyway the song is great and anything connected with Woodie Taylor in the studio is alright by me , now i'm off to find some hipster clothes !

[keiichiiiiiiii]

c86!!!

[void110]

Just admit it people.

Hipsters are cool.

The people who disagree with this are usually just jealous.

[eromattiffarg]

@void110 lol nah, it's not like you need anything special to be a hipster... let me go get my wallet an dhead down to the thrift store, i'll show you hipster

[gutz323]

 i googled 'beachy head' whilst contemplating suicide and found this. What an utter load of shit! i am deffo gonna top myself now. fucking boring, deppressing, hipster cunts!

[PazToTheMan]

Fuck who gives a fuck if they're hipsters. Listen to the fucking music.

[harrycheeky]

fucking hipster cunts

[kickflipindy78]

Yeh there hipsters , so what?

[MrDubery]

jolly jolly good! the girls are cats and the boys are beautiful. and the music, thats terrible but. not really, spiffing.

[magicmike323]

Its a good song, but enough songs about beaches and oceans indie people!

[noodle92993]

I love this video

[raggaraggah]

I'd like to talk to you for a moment about hipsters. Yes i have found that a lot of hipsters i have beef with but even with the scarf and the glasses i give them a chance to state their case. So, I hear where you're coming from with the whole "Hipster" thing. However, just because this video has an vintage feel does not mean it is meant to be "Hipsterish". Another thing, the fact that this song only has aprox. 125,000 views can also mean that by listening to it and enjoying it you are a hipster?

[Cadmium77]

this is a great song 

[gibbeh3]

Songs awful haha

[benerrickson]

@gibbeh3 bye.

[Samodrei]

hahah they look so indifferent

[migueltegen]

Pretty good. Sounds a lot like the BEAT HAPPENING.

[FuckinOrxata]

ON PRIMAVERA SOUND 2012.

[GriefTourist]

goodbye cruel world i'm leaving today

[HighlyHighlyHumorous]

@GriefTourist I'm gonna miss you, I'm gonna miss you....WHEN YOU'RE GOOOOOONE!

[McKakein]

did she borrow this cloak from Vlad Impaler ?

[IonPetru]

"Indie means anything released on an indepedent label"... that's what it meant 30 years ago, but to say it still means that now is wilful ignorance.

[fannyhairmuncher]

People should know what Indie music is, ANY style of music released on an Independent record label. FACT

[xXgodpersonXx]

+10 indie points!

[SpaceBandit666]

they dont seem very happy :/

[vertizontaal]

B52 revisited bit of sixties garage punk bit of Servotron.

[gedandrews]

Everyone keeps comparing them to Belle & Sebastian but they sound more like Lush to me... Nice

[miloustudios]

This recording was mixed by Woodie Taylor - woodietaylor [dot] co [dot] uk

[minimalistmodern]

rip justin bieber ;(

[TheSyrupMan]

Video budget= $11

[CMHworaven]

Indie and hipster have lost their meanings... All I know is I heart noise pop

[plofit]

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­KKKKKKKKKKKKKK



[wire23]

Love this song was looking for anything on Beachy Head by chance and stumbled on this got all the releases now including the vinyl LP...Very poignont as i saw someone jump off of Beachy head back in the 80's

[polz7]

Yes, definitely indie, which gathering from the comments below is bad? Ok let's all go listen to some hardcore gangster rap instead, I hear all kinds good things about that. On a serious note, this band is great and are actually pretty good live, unlike most bands.

[joeyjordivision]

this might be pretentious, but i couldn't care less! who are you hipster-hating, poorly-dressed-and-proud-of-it morons to judge other people? well, that's what i just did.

[BFtheWave]

@joeyjordivision ..how obnoxious.

[fucketaboutit]

Indie, like punk, and other things became Commercial. yes these kids are too 'indie" way too fashion conscious and self important. (the worst elements of "indie") snobby, pompous and rich.....for the very rich. This is the music trust fund kids listen to as their sorting through the latest Nordstroms clothing haul or Pottery barn load of material garbage. Just make new music for christ sake....quit regurgitating Hipster poses of the past.

[astroboomboy]

@fucketaboutit I'm poor, working class family with loads a few unemployed members, I haven't bought clothes in ages (and no, that's not a few months, more like three or four years), and I barely make it to end of the month these days, don't think this music is just for the rich dude, but who cares...

[eclectica1]

Last time I checked, indie means ANYTHING put out by an independent label, regardless of genre. I wish people would stop getting it twisted.

[1angelmiike]

they are so high!!!

[NeonFoxLetsPlays]

indie: short form of "independent". used to describe independence from major commercial record labels or their subsidiaries, and an autonomous, DIY approach to recording and publishing.

how can something be "too indie"? i don't think the word is supposed to be used as a comparative. or a superlative for that matter.

[Mavarik]

i rather listen to some beach boys

[jsebas992]

I'm slowly becoming a hipster, nothing bad about it though.

[xwhite2020]

My girl weres hipsters

[auschwitzu]

suicidal tendencies

[ntn777]

guess I'm a hipster too..

[MegaMagbro]

I love how every fucking comment is something about hipsters haha

[TheEmerald92]

is she ok?

[cassidapax]

@TheEmerald92 HAHAHA

[Brendan528]

Why must the term hipster be taken as negative? I like this song, and if that makes me a hipster, then fuck it! I can give a shit.

[dominicdiep2011]

TND brought me here!

[Beelzubub13]

This is great and I am 45 freaking years old. reminds me of the music of my youth.

[robodoll]

"hipster" means nothing now. it did in the 50's and 60's.

[areyoureceivingme]

Fashion hipsters? Haha that sounds like the kind of thing some straight-laced dad would say in 1963! Love this. Filmed right near where I live too!

[thejesman]

People always have such superficial reasons for not liking music. I honestly don't give a shit if it's "hipster" or not, I don't even know what hipster means and I don't want to. I'd rather have something fun to sing along with than worry about what the band fucking looks like.

[ZeekoWay]

i really hate the indie scene. full of fucking fashion hipsters, but i love the music though.

[taila1976]

@ZeekoWay

?

[berkowitzJohnston]

Es tan bueno encontrar este tipo de grupos!!

[fugbo]

ass shots @0:32

[DeliciousBob]

hipster are out.. pfft

[TheMorhoppa]

Christ....learn to recognize good music! Cause Veronica Falls are awesome!

[mazzyhope]

great news.album out in oct on bella union label.cant wait.missing starry eyes by looks of it.

[EatCloudsYep]

lol so indie

[rewinfrey]

indie music at the moment is reinventing the 60's sound, but the big wave is still early 60's beach boys sounds. this sound here mirrors the later 60's. give it another 6 months and this song will be in the pocket.

[pistolpimp36]

It's a cool song . Anybody that hates on this has sand in their vagina and probably is a douchebag who doesn't realize that not everybody is going to like their music and that some people enjoy music that they hate. Stop trying to fucking convert everybody to your music taste fucking wankers...just chill ..not everything has to be fucking amazing...this song is sort of just a fun romp to me. I admit it's not the greatest song but it's fun.

[dannyhardacre]

@pistolpimp36  true what you say... but someone else needs to chill here :P x

[pistolpimp36]

@dannyhardacre yeah a beer would be nice. go get me one ya? ...no? man , you need to chill bro :)

[chloedayglo]

It's a beautiful song. Why all of the fucking negativity? Can you not just listen to a fucking song rather than incessantly critiquing or calling it "too indie"? What the fuck does that even mean? Critiquing something or judging it to the point where you can't hear a good song is the only thing that is too pretentious or too "hipster". Jesus Christ.

[cameronellem]

@chloedayglo yeah it is pretty hipster though

[chloedayglo]

@cameronellem

you tell me what's so hipster about it. word for word. start.

[cameronellem]

@chloedayglo The old sunglasses, the 60's style clothes, that guy looking through old binoculars, that faded aged style of film, analogue recording, Im not saying its a bad song but the video is so ahhhhh, contemporary? never seen aything like that before, dont be offended ive never been in one of these youtube arguments before and dont really want to start, we all have opinons

[chloedayglo]

@cameronellem

this argument for hipsterdom is totally absurd. since when does having a specific style and/or vision for a look/music video automatically = "hipster"

anyway, "hipster" is a loaded term. some people mean it as another word for pretension and that is where i am taking offense. veronica falls as a band are totally down to earth and just because they want to evoke a specific vision or style doesn't make them hipsters.

[cameronellem]

@chloedayglo look up hipster(contemporary subculture) on wikipedia, just look up hipster on google images, yeah it is used too soon by lots of people, im going to go watch o.children for a while

[Mrhermens]

@chloedayglo this video is super boring, just them standing/laying around obviously dressed like hipsters.. so in a sense it is super indie.. but your right the music is amazing and this lame video shouldn't take away from it

[Mrhermens]

@chloedayglo idk where your response went but anyways I could care less about music videos, I would prefer them to show maybe old footage of people surfing or something idgaf this just bored me and they seem very apathetic

[Zerenko]

@chloedayglo we are not being negative, we are just saying that its very indie, not as an insult

[SubAstute]

@chloedayglo THANK YOU! I've stopped reading comments online. (Except yours)

[FeanorsPain00]

@chloedayglo I know EXACTLY what you mean!! Get angry at it... I am so tired of all the commenting negativity just to sound off and appear clever! Its exasperating! I know this was an old post for you but just saw it now and I wanted to say you were not alone. Cool song btw... ;-)

[roller899]

Wow......

[evanfity]

fuck this

[sh0wbiz]

epitome of hipster music. geez.

[MichaelOhara]

This song is fun :)

[vigilbros]

Momma Said Knock You Out!

[lostit2bostik]

"Hey guys! Lets write a song about a suicide hot-spot! It will sound so deep and macabre. It doesn't matter if we haven't suffered with relation to the subject matter! Maybe we can make some money from it and spend it on vintage bicycles and glasses that don't aid our eyesight"

Pretentious indie shit.

[ColinJediKnight]

@lostit2bostik

Hey guys! Lets convince everyone how superior we are by acting too cynical and jaded to ever actually enjoy music or anything. Enjoying things is for lamers. If we encounter talented people, we can always make fun of how they dress or whatever, that way everyone will know how much cooler we are than that.

Pretentious hipster shit.

[lostit2bostik]

@ColinJediKnight

I actually enjoy an awful lot of similar sounding music. But the music I like is generally sincere about the emotions in which it is trying to convey. Upper middle class twenty somethings trying to convey misery in an effort to sound 'dark' or 'macabre' is not only insincere but it is also fucking cynical in itself. If they have had a connection to somebody who has jumped off Beachy Head then they could have fooled me. The song sounds whiny and devoid of any emotion.

[corkscrewfoley]

@lostit2bostik Are we listening to the same song? Maybe I'm encapsulated by how dark this song actually is...Joe Meek would have been proud of this song.

[chippprrr]

amazingly, this style reminds me of kurt cobain.

long live seattle rockers

[Louis555hob]

@chippprrr grunge

[SkoalBoy93]

I search my last name Beachy and it comes up with this???? lol interesting

[angievigilante]

whatever, this is rad!

[TheCheeseFan]

I love the simplicity of the video :D

[Danman917]

ROCK LOBSTER!

[TheFate23]

i love this sound

[DESTROYriaa]

coolness

[TomHutchins]

Hipster faggots

[TheFate23]

@TomHutchins fuck you

[Kaasschaaf1991]

@TheFate23 Sir, you have been trolled successful.

[Kaasschaaf1991]

@TheFate23 Sir/madam, you have been trolled successful.

[Kaasschaaf1991]

@TheFate23 Sir/madam, you have been trolled successfull.

[putsomething]

@Kaasschaaf1991 Sir/madam, you said that twice already

[propagandos]

the video fits the song perfectly

[huh1what]

could this be more indie..

[wrenchontheroad]

@huh1what It could always be in black and white.

[jalani00]

@huh1what the first time i saw it, that was my initial thought exactly! then, for some reason, it seemed fitting to the location. this song is as eerie as beachy head itself when you link the two, given beachy head's history.

[psa12]

That's no way to go..Great song!

[MrWhak]

It doesn't mean I don't know how to spell. It means I'm indifferent to to how she spells her name, I could've called her Suzie, you'd have still known who I was talking about. You fucking ignorant cunt you.

[MrWhak]

@FlorrieDugger Look, I'll be straight with you. It was 1998. We were stuck in the jungle. We were running out of food and supplies. All me and my friend had for entertainment was a boombox, a pack of AA batteries and A Souxxuoixuxie and the Banshees tape, I believe it was the singles. Happy house came on, we turned it up loud.The noise attracted a near by tribe. We were gang raped to that song. I'm sorry if I've been a little sour with you, it's just Siouxsiee haunts me to this day. Sorry, Man.

[areyoureceivingme]

Eastbourne! Where I live! Cool song and video, quite C86 - a good thing.

[MrWhak]

@FlorrieDugger doesn't sound like Sioxsie.

[MrWhak]

@FlorrieDugger Yes it could possibly explain that I hate The Banshees and the Creatures and don't give a shit about Siouxsie. And I also don't like Veronica Falls either. But I know both bands very well and she doesn't sound like Sioxsie. But if you can hear it, enjoy it.

[Deadmau55UCK5]

@MrWhak I like how you dismiss things like spelling errors to cover up how much of an idiot you really are. The person never said that both bands sound the same. They said the first part of the vocals of this song and nothing more, So what you can't read either and I can totally hear how it sounds like Siouxsie. The vocals in the first part of this song bare a striking similarity to Siouxsie and I know her music well enough to state this claim.



[cloudsandkites]

i love this!

[hex0D]

This reminds me a LOT of 'Promised Land' by Skeletal Family, 1985 (v=41AqlPjc-Wc). But hey - if mopey music sung by cute limeys on cliffs was good then, why shouldn't it be still? I love it.

[costas2by4]

like 'em a lot. They 're quite good. Reminds me, Brits, mid 90's

[philphie]

didn't that guy from Quadrophenia kill himself here?

[tinofpop90]

@philphie nobody killed themselves

[hex0D]

@philphie You mean Sting? I wish.

[breerenee]

hahah geez....just realized "beachy head" is about the beachy head cliffs, the most notorious spot for suicides in england. "im gonna miss you when youre gone" kind of dark! but this song still rules.

[graffitiTV]

i like this its cool...

[bigcherry99]

glad this is on youtube now, vimeo is total shit

.

so pathetic how people think vimeo is 'cooler' than youtube

.

lame losers

.

great song by the way!

[vincenzo78]

What a tune !! i love you guys , cheers from italy !!

[lovehandles74]
