| Beach House – Real Love Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I find this song absolutely haunting. "I met you..."? I mean goddamn! "Real Love" (a capitalized essence concept), it finds you. "I met you". and that's all. You met real love, but that's all. Incredible songwriting. Beach House has really hit their creative stride. Best album of 2010 candidate. |

one of the kicked-around names for "Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider" was "Eagle-Shaped Mirror," so a "sad return to the eagle-shaped mirror" might be a reference to the same kind of sensual/sexual temptation scenario that was featured in Bunny. also: "Fate had painted her face like a man's mistake" maybe? |

|
"I hear the toy ball bouncing on Jihad would do their elegant conceit" is more likely: "I hear the toy ball bouncing on cheap hardwood through their elegant conceit" this is far and away their best record. |
