I read many commentaries about how underrated Slowdive is/was, and bickering about other bands' commercial success. No need to be negative. Let's build our own mythos. If you like Slowdive's sound, make it your life's soundrack, incorporate it into your projects. The band ended in 1995 but they are not forgotten and, what's more, a younger generation discovers them. Their music will endure... they're already legends.
So many years later and I still find myself coming back to this video. did you make up the poem intro and outro yourself? thanks for giving it meaning. Always loved slowdive I miss the 90's
This is stupid. It's just you taking a video of random shit with with a bad camera. It's not art, it's shit. Yes I made fun of your video go commit suicide now emo faggot
@sharki766 You need to calm the fuck down and remove the large stick from your asshole. This person took some footage of beautiful, natural occurrences like sunsets and then decided to use it with a phenomenal song, and shared it with us. It's not supposed to be 'art'. It's just footage of life through the eyes of a fellow human being. Stop being such a presumptuous judgmental cunt; from the undeserved hatred in your comment it's you who comes off as a suicidal 'emo'. Go flame Justin Bieber.
It´s nice to see someone, who´s got the same fascination about sunrays as me... it´s like every single creature in this world needs its share of love, warmth and to someone share one´s feelings with=blue skied and clear :)
how does schlock like radiohead earn the slobbering praise of critics who trip over themselves to proclaim them legends when bands like slowdive exist that are obviously far superior?
i hope the day will come when people can see the difference between vacuity and empty, freedom and omission. and maybe this daily boredom and superficial joy will become sharing and caring: true love.
I really appreciate your acknowledgment of this song's beauty although you insult Slowdive with the comparison.. No offense.intended. This song is flawless.
This has got to be the song in the world. I first heard it when i was watching the movie "Nowhere" in the beginning and i was like "i HAVE to find this song" and 4 some stupid reason they didn't put this song on the soundtrack so it is so cool finally finding it. This song is so amazingg
they left a lot of good music off that soundtrack. that's why it's awesome to go searching for it and eventually find it by yourself. it's like treasure hunting!!! i was already into slowdive before i saw the movie nowhere, but i never knew they did this song.
I understand where you're coming from having moments in my youth. But listening to songs like this track makes me feel alive, happy to feel, not wishing I was dead. Sure, I wish the world worked differently sometimes. I've always felt I just had a mature ear with a fondness for bands who layer track after track of blissful noise making these beautiful soundscapes. It's deep music, but deep shouldn't be synonymous with sad. I hope you'll feel better tomorrow, man. Hang in there.
If anyone knows any other good shoe-gazing songs, respond to this but I've been searching and nothing even comes close. I mean honestly this song is sooooooo fucking good.
hello, (sorry the mistakes English is not my language) seem to me beautiful words and beautiful images you've reached my soul, slowdive is the best, I recommend cadaverica (help me down) Ayacucho - Peru
Does anyone have the version with the lyrics?There are some words in the song that are incomprehensible and I can't for the life of my decipher them. And I listen to this song everyday ever since I found it in that movie "Nowhere" which was years ago.Love.
avalyn is one of my favorite songs ever as you can tell by my name. :) i love it so much it so beautiful. i'm a very philosophic/nature loving/spiritual being and this song just hits all those things if that makes sense.
The paragraph in the beginning and end are beautiful.
Did you just think of that on your own? Your philosophy?
I love nature and being part of beautiful scenic views and that paired with this song is just euphoric. This (video and song) like, embodies who I am as a person, spiritually.
Yes, i wrote it on my own, i'm glad you like it.You can see my other videos, i try to capture on camera what is spiritual about this world, at least, for me, because i think we are all connected with the infinite creation of the universe.Cheers!
Hands down, the best tune by slowdive, and easily one of the three greatest tunes ever made, if not the greatest. Why haven't i found this beautiful video before?!
F*****g great video man! The words are fantastic too! If I didn't know the song I would have guessed it was Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Was it taken in Ireland? Many Thanks!
beautiful mind. beautiful video :)
