School of Seven Bells - "Half Asleep"

In School of Seven Bells music, a human element lurks behind a veil of technology and noise; Toby Holbrooks video for the Brooklyn trios Half Asleep follows suit, depicting real-life twin vocalists Alejandra and Claudia Deheza as earthbound beauties, while complicating their image through sped-up film, gauzy overlays, and brightly colored, weather-like disturbances. The clip conjures a sad, surreal feeling that sticks with you long after the images fade.

This is their most recognized track and it’s barely relevant in RUclips views. But that’s okay. Those of us who have recognized this greatness are the only ones who were meant to feel the way this makes us feel.

One of the best, most underrated bands!! Four wonderful albums...RIP Ben Curtis you left us far too soon ❤

[@bagelhog4967]

This song is still kind of perfect isn't it?

[@hightimesbruce]

If you read the lyrics, it is absolutely mind-blowing that they made a melody out of those words. On paper, it doesn't look like they'd fit at all.

[@lequinntessential]

This, in my opinion, is the most representative, powerful and absorbing track of their entire music career. And the lyrics - gosh.

RIP Benjamin Curtis

This remains my life's favourite song. I doubt any track will every replace it. It is as perfect today as when I first heard it. Just sublime.

15 years I missed out on this song. At least I found it...

[@andrewhudson3723]

This song is just devastating with it's ethereal and fleeting beauty. A total embodiment of the band. I weep for the loss.

These girls are seriously angels...

SVIIB is totally underrated. Massively good music, Almost all of it, let alone their last LP. This is awesomely good. Great lyrics. Love it.

[@YeahYeahYeahs2011]

I really didn't realize they were two different people until yesterday. Trippy.

[@annamorris5843]

Rest in Peace, Benjamin Curtis. Your music will remain with all of us.

I always come back to this video. These girls are so beautiful. I’ve been in love since forever

[@johnbailey8051]

This is a lyrical masterpiece. What a beautiful song.

When they played this live, it became 1,000 times more powerful. I was lucky enough to witness it twice when they opened to Interpol back in 2011. Benjamin RIP.

"What begins as an unguarded train of thought slowly can become
An addiction to the slumber of disconnection
And the resonance of memory that no longer has a shape
But keeps you numb through the hours till gone is another day"
So much truth to this.

If ever music was made to be immersive and lost inside, it’s this music. It has a magical quality that invites you to live inside. A wonderful song

[@RickWhite-zs3jo]

Love this band. So underrated.

blaring this, going 70 down the highway crossing the city skyline is an unforgettable feeling.
