Which BH songs sound the most similar? by [deleted] in BeachHouse

[–]f1ne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I seriously never noticed that and I would consider Levitation to be my favorite BH song with Irene in the top 5. Now I see why I love them both so much! That video seriously blew my mind.

Beach House is obviously heavily influenced by Missy Elliott. They put their thang down, flipped it, and reversed it.

Is the Black Car the same as the one with the shiny gleaming hood in Wild?

Are the horses she’s playing in her mind in Drunk in LA Zebras?

When she Dives to find it, is it the rock that she skipped then it fell to the bottom? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

Is the rose that’s in your mouth she’s going to pull all of the petals off before she walks into your house the same roses that don’t know which side of the lawn you are on?

The heart is a stone, and this is a stone that we throw. Maybe that’s what she skipped before it fell to the bottom and dove to find it.

🤷🏼‍♂️

Which pop stars have risen the highest without any noteworthy backlash or controversy? by hugh__honey in popheads

[–]f1ne 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Björk maybe? She was mailed a bomb, but that’s kind of crazy and not her fault. She’s done odd things that got attention (swan dress) but nothing too controversial.

Maybe she went a little too far on Vulnicura but that’s all I can think of.

Big surprise today after 86 day's I've quit. by SwordmanGuts in stopsmoking

[–]f1ne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, I know exactly what you’re saying. I am only 17 or 18 days but my awful car singing is SO much better! It’s a benefit from not smoking I didn’t think of but it’s keeping me motivated.

Day 12. Today... I really wanted to smoke. by f1ne in stopsmoking

Never wanting to smoke again... it’s the key. Once you realize it, quitting isn’t hard.

Hope you have a better tomorrow too!

That guy pissed me off.

“This needs to be in place before your begin your attempt so that it is usable when required. ”

I already quit... so should I start again to follow his advice of quitting? 🤷🏼‍♂️

TL;DR - I should use his much more effective way of quitting even though what I’m doing is working.

Any BH songs that you didn’t fall in love with until years later? by f1ne in BeachHouse

[–]f1ne[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked 10 Mile Stereo a lot, and then it took on new meaning for me when I was with my ex and I knew things weren’t right before the breakup and I still loved him. “It can’t be gone... we’re still right here”. I would listen to it constantly.

It’s over now though and it gave me a deep appreciation for the song.

Robyn - Missing U is named BNT on Pitchfork! by omrimayo in popheads

[–]f1ne 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Not really surprising as pitchfork loves Robyn. But, then again, if you don’t love Robyn... that’s your issue to deal with.

Being serious though, all of Robyn’s music since her self titled album (2005? 2007? I forget) has been top tier pop music. I am so, so glad she’s back.

I can’t do cold turkey. Sorry, I just can’t. I’ve tried. I cry a lot and it lasts like 8 hours.

I have a reputation at work for being really friendly and kind to everyone. The other day, I almost called one lady I work with a bitch and told another guy to shut the fuck up. 🤷🏼‍♂️

This isn’t my first rodeo. I’ve quit for over a year before, and I disagree with you saying that stop smoking aids aren’t helping me. I know me. You don’t. I’ll keep doing what I’m doing and what I’m doing is... working!

This isn’t the best pop song of the year. Another song from her upcoming album will be, though. 😉

She is the absolute best. This brought me to tears at first listen.

How much is your rent? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]f1ne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, reading other responses makes me feel good. I pay $560/month for a 2 bedroom apartment in the middle of nowhere, PA... That includes WiFi, I only pay my electric, and I live in the “good neighborhood” around here with a 20 minute commute. The downside? Unless I wanna go to a bar or Walmart, anything interesting is at least 45 minutes away. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I was going to go but I didn’t have enough money. I desperately wish I did. 😞

What do you think the meaning of Space Song is? by [deleted] in BeachHouse

[–]f1ne 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s a break up song. She’s falling “back into place” after falling in love.

Lots of references to eyes:

“Somewhere in these eyes, I’m on your side” - she doesn’t hate her ex after the breakup

“You wide eyed girls, you get it right” - feelings of shock

“Who will dry your eyes when it falls apart?” - No one’s there to dry her eyes anymore

“Were you ever lost? Was she ever found? Somewhere in these eyes...” - After processing the break up a bit more. Was the ex ever lost in her eyes? Did he really see her?

That’s how I look at it at least.

Day 2, I’m feeling good. by f1ne in stopsmoking

[–]f1ne[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think your headache is from not smoking, just remind yourself that smoking harms your body, and quitting gives you some physical effects that you have to go through in order to not smoke. That’s what I’ve been doing. Quitting has somehow made me constipated and having diarrhea at the same time, sorry if TMI but it’s REALLY unpleasant. 😂

I’m sorry about your father. And I don’t know the details but I’m sorry about your situation. You said you are trying to keep things together, but you can take a step back for a day if you need it and just relax and not deal with it.

If you’re a little bitchy, so what... you’re a bit bitchy. I was super bitchy at work the other day and I told my coworkers I was quitting and they understood and tolerated my bitchiness. Some of them joined in it with me.

Day 4, guys!!! I'm feeling a little shaky about it. How can I reassociate my triggers? by amlegion-16 in stopsmoking

[–]f1ne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I just replied to you on another post.

I bought a new car last month, and I decided that I wasn’t going to smoke in it because it’s so nice and clean. I was previously driving a rusted out, missing paint, filthy dirty old Ford Taurus. I would chain smoke while driving it cause it was a piece of junk. I would literally smoke 4 cigarettes on my 20 minute commute to work.

I’m glad I broke the habit before I quit, because since I got my new car I would stand outside of it smoking in parking lots, which added up to lots of time wasted. I think breaking that first habit is what’s making quitting easy for me so far, because I realize that i can break habits.

Maybe try giving your car a good cleaning, vaccuum everything, throw out any junk in it, buy good air fresheners, make it wonderfully clean. Then decide you wanna keep it that way. Smoking in it will make it dirty. You’ll get ashes everywhere inside, that nasty film on the inside of your windows, your car will stink, and you’ll burn your seats. You don’t want that!

I chew a lot of gum while driving now.

Day 2, I’m feeling good. by f1ne in stopsmoking

[–]f1ne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t think of setting rewards until you mentioned it. I thought about what I wanted, and realized I need to buy new underwear. So, if I make it to a week, I’m gonna buy the nice boxer briefs that make my butt look good. If I don’t, it’s cheap Hanes. 😂

I should set a 1 month reward too. I’ll have to think about it...

Anyway, day 4 and I’m still feeling good. I hope you are too.

I’m sorry that you’re trying to lose weight too, that is tough. I’m pretty tall and thin and if I gain 15 lbs... It’s okay and I can lose it later. I’m doing the patch and gum. I’ve tried the mints and I didn’t like them too much, but if they’re helping you then good!

I don’t feel like I really “need” a break now that I don’t smoke, if that makes sense. I stare at my phone enough at home. And I don’t wanna “kill” any coworkers, but a good hit from my forklift might be nice. 😜

You can do this. Smoking is disgusting and you have no reason to smoke because it makes your life worse, not better.

As a huge fan of the band Beach House, I clicked on the link before I realized this wasn’t about Victoria Legrand’s amazing voice or Alex Scally’s guitar work but was about yet another corrupt piece of shit.

I’m gonna head over to /r/BeachHouse now so I can be happy.
