LYRICS
Watching light through water
I want to bend the way it bends
You slice like a knife through the surface
But what a thrill to see it mend
With no scar, no memory
I’m envious
Why pretend I’m not
Wading in up to the ankles
The cold speaks straight to my bones
Whole body and soul hesitation
I am a coward turned to stone
Stay there for centuries
So all of history knows about it
But hey hey
We made it to the longest day
And the sun, the wind the earth
Are wearing me away
The shame!
I wish that I was brave enough to dive in
But I never have been and never will be
I’m coming in hot then freezing completely
The shame!
I wish that I could say what I’ve been thinking
But I never have done and never will do
Still only knees deep
I’ll never be brave like you
Lighten up like a candle
I’m as likely to go out
You can sigh from the bottom of your lungs
Until the house gets blown down
One step, then two, then three
‘Til I’ve forgotten how to count them
But hey hey
We made it to the longest day
And the river’s ready current
Can carry me away
The shame!
I wish that I was brave enough to dive in
But I never have been and never will be
I’m coming in hot then freezing completely
The shame!
I wish that I could say what I’ve been thinking
But I never have done and never will do
Still only knees deep
I’ll never be brave like you

Fell for this band so hard, so fast. No one is having more fun than them.
This. The genuine fun they're having is such a huge part of why I love them.
See what you did there “falling” for this band. 😉☺️
If they come to a town near you, definitely go see them. They're a delight on-stage as well.
Look into Varsity! Imo they have that “having fun” feeling
...you say! i listened only to one song; and i'm a fan. incredible. these lyrics... this easiness... guys, you're super!
Im 51 and haven't heard any tunes like the beths play.....poggo around the house.......jump ❤it
Such a bouncy song, I love it. Even the bridge was amazing! I don't think it's a stretch to say this album is going to be a massive leap forward for the band.
Nailed it
I see what you did there :-). Brilliant band - terrific song.
Ninomae Ina'nis is that you?
As a dad I approve of this comment...
Bouncy is really the perfect word to describe this song.
This band has a legendary singer
True
Just grinned my face off all the way through this. Yet another instant classic. Liz is a banger-writing machine!! Best band in the world.
Glad to know I wasn't the only one grinning through this whole video! I was in a band once and we were always waiting for one guy to show up. Shoulda checked the nearest free bungy jumping bridge!
@@drsloanski Take the Plungy Do the bungy!
Theres no accounting for taste, this is the most mediocre awful piece of blandness I've ever had the misfortune of having to hear....
Seriously, was just thinking this exact thought. Another great song and the 4 part harmonies that destroy. They are the best.
Right now it’s an outright SLUGFEST between The Beths and Skating Polly for Best Band of the Late Twenty-Tens/Early Twenty-Twenties. They’re both 2 albums into what any reasonable person would assume to be their primes, and they’re going back for thirds! For The Beths, their third great album in a row, if they can pull it off, will finally slay Weezer and allow them to uslurp their position in the all-time-greats musical canon. Skating Polly’s third, if God wills it, will slay Nirvana and uslurp their position. The stakes have truly never been higher.
I’ve been down the Beths rabbit hole for 6-7 months now. listening to this band just brings me joy.
Over a year ago 4me 😊
These were the kind of music videos I loved as a kid, ones that made being in a band look like the coolest thing in the world.
No cap
Word! Exactly
I love seeing how each band member becomes energized after taking the plungy. I love that while she's saying "I'll never be brave like you" she goes bungy jumping, which takes a lot of bravery.
It's beauty in song form. The metaphor fits so perfectly.
I will forever cherish that time I played cricket with them at the Shitty Barn. They're so down-to-earth, fun, and warm. And you can hear that in every note.
That look on Liz Stokes face before she took the plunge is the real deal - it's the look of someone questioning the choices they made that got them to that point.
this band always makes me smile like an idiot
Liz's reaction to Jon's "post-bungy" solo cracks me up.
Liz is so cute, and the queen of facial expressions! All of the songs show a vulnerability I miss in most music. Love the song.
at 2:44 liz manages to whisper 'i love you' amidst all the glorious noise. this is the point of the song and of being alive, isn't it?
I don't want this song to stop. It always feels like such a void when it is over so I listen to it again.
How? How can a band possibly write this many 10/10 songs.
I've only just discovered the Beths with this record, but I am smitten. This is just pure, perfect power pop. It's infectious in all the best ways.
I cannot believe that 3 weeks ago I had never heard of this band, and now these three singles are probably my favorite songs that I've heard this year. This one is the best so far! So incredibly excited for the record!
You gotta check out their other two albums!
Heard The Beths on NPR a couple days ago and I've been obsessed since then.
it be like that
You guys randomly showed up on my feed one day, and I thought "who the heck is this?" I've had Expert in a Dying Field stuck in my head for WEEKS now; you guys are so good!
I fell in love instantly with Silence is golden. Need more heavier stuff like that with the lilting vocals ❤️
I KNOW RIGHT❤❤
The world that The Beths have created is a pleasure to be part of.
I dont know how i found them like 5 days ago, but the tunes are infectious 🤩
I wanna beend the way it beends :D I am still binging on this tune!
Thank you RUclips algorithm!
Saw the video, bought the CD, bought the gig ticket!
The Beths doesn’t have a bad song. Keep it up! Stay blessed.
The signature Bethsolydian progression creates another magical moment
Such a great concept for a video, and matches the song perfectly. I actually teared up at the end when Liz stopped hesitating and embraced the bungy
I cannot emphasise just how wide my smile is during the last chorus of listening to this song. This is the most joyous song ever.
THIS BAND IS SO BRAVE AND TIGHT AND FUN!!! Beautiful love letter video to Auckland Harbour Bridge! Hands up emoji!
I never knew songs needed scream breaks but I'm so glad this has one!
I am from Canada and I jumped off that bridge circa 2013, what a rush! I love the song! I It made me cry, it felt good :). Bravo!
I'm rather new to this beths phenomenon.
I'm alarmed, engaged, and enthralled.
You have my heart with this sound that hasn't existed since the 90's- early 00's
Brilliant video and song. 3 for 3 so far, can't wait for the album!
Despite living at the antipode of where this band come from (i'm french) last month, i discovered the Beths. Since then i took a deep dive into their discography. I can't wait for the next album and i really hope to see them next time they tour in Europe!
How does this not have 5M views?
Wow, Liz is all kinds of awesome!! Beths are currently my favorite band!!
Liz's singing has taken a step forward, sounding great!
I love the style
I've fallen down a The Beths-shaped rabbit hole after I heard you guys at The Postal Service concerts. Nothing to say but LOVE! You seem like genuinely fun people. :)
Liz Stokes. Musical genius. Every little thing she does is total and absolute magic.
i love the wholesome message about how the team isnt the same without each part. synergy thats the word i was tryin to remember
So freaking wholesome I ended up tearing up I love you guys
The serotonin this video gave me. It's hilarious and so cute! Obsessed with the anxiety anthem also ❤️
Actual LOL when Liz was back in the practice space. Facial expression, hair, the boys rocking, all of it.
Great alt-pop... reminds me of Alvvays. Love it.
the zoom in on Liz's face in 3:18 is so goddamn cool
You know, a good way to know how old a Beths video is, is by looking at Jonathan’s hair, it just gradually gets shorter
this is perfect this is truly perfect no one can do better than this
Thus album is going to be a real banger.❤️🎶🎸🥁🔥
I can't say exactly what I feel seeing this video. I think it's happiness
Incredible songwriting, beautiful chorus and also Liz's hair post bungee...
I've lost the count of how many times I've listened the song, I'm in love with the whole album ❤
Liz is so cool! I'm glad she did it :)
Liz and the boys are the best ay, this song is neat as. I bought the album off this song. This song will be timeless.
I like the bit with the free bungies.
Love that Ben's watch has the design of the Swiss railway clock. Iconic!
Absolutely love your work guys and of course how could I not be in love with Liz🥰 from an old rock fan in England
Fell for this band completely. Such a great album! And this is my favourite song.
Smiled ear to ear the whole way through. No one does it like yall :)
Thank you RUclips for actually getting a recommendation right. I love this band... Liz is adorable when she goes for her jump
Thanks for writing one of my favorite songs of all time. A pleasure to see you in new haven this summer, I sung ever word. ❤
This song is so freakin good. Can’t wait for the album
Awesome music video!! A fun song for a fun video!!
Every song I have heard has been amazingly awesome. They’re coming to Portland next year and I WILL be first in line!
You guys just keep making hit after hit after hit!!
I love this song and the video!!
Great band and I like the fact they are about music not flashy clothes.
This is the cutest fucking thing.
Y'all are adorable. I'm still never bungee jumping.
I've been loving their music videos lately, this one's probably my favorite.👍
Cheers me up every single time I hear this song. Fantastic power pop album.
Every new song gets me more and more hyped for this album! Thank you Beths!!!
Guys, you're killing it with your brilliant songs and charming videos
This may possibly be the best thing I've ever seen..I super keen..
This band is fantastic...They are awesome..sent from Heaven above. Groovy rocking Angels.
Love everyone's expressions after the bungee jump!
3:18 I feel that
I enjoy this video every time I watch it!
omg, she is so brave
What an awesome concept for a music video. So cool to see everyone grow overcoming their fears. Love y’all
3 days till I see them live for the first time since COVID. Going to be a slow 3 days waiting in anticipation
Have fun! The Beths were my first real post-covid gig and it was such a fun show in a tiny Vienna club, they even played Silence is Golden from the new record, before we even knew there's a new record coming!
This makes me smile.
MOST FUN BAND EVER!!!
After being extremely moved by the song and lyrics yesterday, I was very glad that she did the bungy.
28th May ... can't wait.
man i love this band so much. Also jonathan is such a rad dude.

OMG 😮 I just checked out the line-up for this amazing festival in my hometown and found out YOU GUYS will play there (July 16th). I'm literally in tears due to happinnes! E>
Damn, what a great band. Looking forward to seeing them Wednesday in Nashville
I truly dig these deep cut videos.
Who has a Peugeot 205 in NZ ??? Great song ! A french fan
This album is shaping up to be incredible. Thanks for making the best new music I've heard in years! I lol'd at the drummer screaming as he jumped
The Ferndale show was so epic tonight!🤘
めちゃくちゃ良い曲！最高だ！Lizかわいい😍
They are a treasure
That hardest part about doing something like bungy jumping or sky diving is going last in a group of friends. All that anticipation and fear building up in your brain :) Thanks the amazing music!
I love this... incredible...
absolutely incredible!!!!!!!!!
Best music video of all time! The Beths know how to commit to a theme. This song slaps!! Incredible song and solo writing!
you guys make me so happy and that's hard sometimes
i'm in love with this band and this video
Absolutely adorable-song and video!!
Just saw you in Durham North Carolina at Motorco. Havent immediately liked a band this much since Unrest in 1994. Magical magical magical. Thank you for sharing your gift and work and smiles and joy with us. Good luck on the rest of your tour. You were all so beautiful. Also as a person who plays in bands, watching y'all troupe through songs with mechanical failures on your pedal boards and broken strings and odd lighting changes. (mwah) perfection. Cheers!
