This is honestly one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever listened to. As soon as I heard this I knew I'd love B-Sides. Still haven't heard a bad track from Beach House and I don't think I ever will but wow, this one is definitely in my top 5.
This song is eternal. It is as though the heavens breathed this into existence through an angels voice. I honestly believe gifts like these are channelled from other realms beyond our comprehension. This is so fitting for all of existence and beyond. An infinite gem.
listening to this with headphones opens whole new paths of instruments and emotions. amazing effort and incredible quality. truly unique, wonderful music.
Like most of Beach House's songs, the lyrics in Chariot are almost nonsensical. Almost. There is just enough sense in the lyrics for listeners to create tons of different interpretations, which seems to be Victoria's goal. After a few listens I began trying to interpret the song. The best meaning I could create was that the song is about a president. Critical of Donald Trump, maybe? Or it's about the presidency in general? Maybe it's about being an actor? Who knows. Then I saw someone suggest that Chariot is a surreal JFK biography. That struck me as incredibly sad. After viewing this video a few times that theory seemed confirmed and the song took on a new meaning. But then I watched the video again and had a different takeaway: much of the video seemed concerned with two women in JFK's life, Marilyn and Jackie. Again, the song evolved for me and took on a new meaning. Chariot isn't just a surreal eulogy for JFK. Rather, it's a surreal eulogy for the man as viewed through the eyes of Jackie. Jackie's sadness about her husband's death is more complex than the American public's. She had to deal with the horrifying death of her husband, but also the public's warped perception of him. The public came to view him as a martyr; as the best president ever and a good man struck down in his prime. Jackie was one of the few people close enough to JFK to see reality, however. He cheated, lied, and didn't always treat her right. She had to deal with his death, but also had to watch millions of people worship a man who mistreated her.
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so! Listening to Beach House often makes me think of the scene featuring Questions in a World of Blue from Fire Walk with Me
Sunny day in a chariot Were they waving back to you? Losing touch, not that much She was running back to you, to you No more But you said, "Angel's wings, time we spent" Nobody knows how close it will come The rite of the sands My heart in your hands Women chasers, the wives abide You build a plane to take a land you divide Sunny day in a chariot Were they waving back to you? The way you chased her, the Cadillac Back on the coastline with the sun on his back Women chasers, the scarlet land He will be taken, but they'll all love him back Sunny day in a chariot Were they waving back to you? One last call One last call
you guys make the most beautiful music ever. makes me feel so much. endless love for beach house
i made it 50 Amanda!...
Endless is the right word.

Omg it's so beautiful it hurts it makes me wanna cry
Vic and Alex changed my life 💜
vitcrv same
This became my new, good-night-sleep song. So dreamy and soothing..
I just love this song the melody and Vic's voice is just so lovely. It breaks and fix my weak heart at the same time
That guitar solo at the end tho... idk why I’m in love with it. Ima learn how to play it rn sounds simple yet so good
did you ever learn?
From the moment I heard this song it's been running through my head. I hope it never stops.
listening to this with headphones opens whole new paths of instruments and emotions. amazing effort and incredible quality. truly unique, wonderful music.
Nostálgico, melancólico. Tanto que hiere. Grandísimo tema. Thanks Victoria & Alex.

Thank you for sharing this. I don't think it's a coincidence that BH chose this particular footage
4:29 - 5:17 is peak Beach House
I hope tiktok doesnt discover that part
4:38 one of Henry Fonda's Greatest roles in one of the best westerns films ever.
cripplehawk : Oh Yeah... How The West Was Won. Try Ox Bow incident Another one of his Best Westerns. He's young in this one.
Beach house is beautiful
thank you beach house, this is really nice
i love this song
It's a wonderful thing when a conceptual video elevates the music it's set to. 👍🏼❤️😊
Best song to listen to while on a plane
A video where the artist gives you a string that unravels their train of thought in writing a tune. Absolutely lovely.
Beautiful.
Interesting video. I love the song. I've probably listened to it 20 times since the audio was released.
Since it came out, sometimes I listen to it on repeat the whole morning, and seem to can't get enough of it.
OMG actually same!! I have had it on literal repeat for weeks.
beautiful
4:29 - 5:10 *HEAVEN
i'm crying. utterly in love with this video.
Perfection.
Man, I was waiting for that ending to happen, and when it did I actually flinched. Great video guys, hopefully get to see you guys play again soon :)
Love the ethereal nostalgic dreamy reminiscence of this...
This is so beautiful, makes me cry
My favorite song. Thanks for the video!
Qué buen día para estar vivo
I dedicate this to my son, years will come fast and one day will be together once again, I’ll save all this songs to you my baby boy
Sorry for your loss, stay strong.
😢🙏🏽
I hope we'll hear a track in the new Twin Peaks!
Jordan04101 they sound like a Twin Peaks memorie, since the first time... 💖💗❤
I would actually cry if they played in The Bang Bang Bar
Beach House is more Twin Peaks than twin peaks
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so! Listening to Beach House often makes me think of the scene featuring Questions in a World of Blue from Fire Walk with Me
Chromatics and Sharon Van Etten were already. We're waiting for Beach House, Angel Olsen, Mazzy Star and Lana Del Rey for the finale.
Beautiful
I'm not crying, you're crying
LOL.. (WEEPY) ...LOL

Amayzing song and video.... I love beach house vibes.....
Sunny day in a chariot
Were they waving back to you?
Losing touch, not that much
She was running back to you, to you
No more
But you said, "Angel's wings, time we spent"
Nobody knows how close it will come
The rite of the sands
My heart in your hands
Women chasers, the wives abide
You build a plane to take a land you divide
Sunny day in a chariot
Were they waving back to you?
The way you chased her, the Cadillac
Back on the coastline with the sun on his back
Women chasers, the scarlet land
He will be taken, but they'll all love him back
Sunny day in a chariot
Were they waving back to you?
One last call
One last call
