    Lyrics:
    Tell me your the best thing,
    I tell you that’s what you need
    Rolling on those good looks
    Maybe it’s just enough
    I know you dream of snowfields
    Floating high above the trees
    Living for the new thing
    Sometimes the new won’t do
    Kisses born desert sun
    Maybe there’s a car, there
    Driving away from here
    Taking all the ghosts
    The hurt
    Well everything starts anew
    Tell me what you need
    What’s right
    Whatever is just enough
    Is Living with the truth
    A start
    Maybe it’s just enough
    Kisses born desert sun

    I read somewhere that the Slowdive fanbase is getting younger and younger. That's a great testament to how their music connects with people, especially younger people who often feel things very deeply indeed. I know when I was in my teens and early 20s, my emotions were all over the place. Slowdive calmed my soul back then in the early 90s and they still do, now that I am 52 years old. I love the fact the band are just getting more and more popular. Bravo to them!

      @@user-wu8sj3ee3d Drugs are great. But all the drugs comments connected to music with deep emotion or dark music. I swear, I read it so so often. And hell yeah this music feels like drugs! So you don’t need any to enjoy it. Drugs can give life a very intense feeling, exactly like this music does. Long time I thought drugs show us something new. So wrong, they show us something that’s already in us, allow us maybe a different perspective or intense feelings. But my experiences have shown that good music can make you feel as vivid/free/euphoric as on drugs. Life is not only emotional, dreamy, crazy with drugs. We have those feelings in us, with or without drugs… would be sad if not

    Slowdive's comeback ranks as one of the best in music history. They struggled to find an audience in the 90s, were basically driven out of the business by the music press, yet 30 years later they are now a top ten band across Europe!!

      Total rubbish.
      They didn’t fail to find an audience in the 90s. The British music press gave them plenty of gushing praise, which they weren’t entitled to an unending supply of. And they’re not a top ten band according to any metric.
      That said, you do look like the most unlikely Slowdive fan. So well done for that.

    This video is amazing, I interpret it as like, how people come into our lives and we "drive" them through our experiences which is our lives, we get a closeup of the faces of the people in the back seat of the bikes, you can see their expressions and how it all might not have turned out good with the "driver", one of them is even crying. You can tell the driver's face is of a tired person, representing the weight of carrying with all of that, we can see one scene where they're struggling with bottles, a skull, all of their experiences and emotions, going to one place to another with them. Sometimes, it's too much of a burden for us. We need someone to drive us to where we need to be, to help us ease the weight of all, and that's a big part of being human. That's why the smile at the end is so important. The driver is able to feel relaxed for once. Sometimes we need that in our lives, when we can't handle it all.
    I love Slowdive so much, I have been listening to them since I was 14 and they've help me relax and deal with emotions during my youth, I am so happy that they're still around and bringing us so much, I cant be more thrilled to feel again their sounds.

    a dreamy and somewhat cryptic song that seems to explore the theme of seeking fulfillment in new experiences and the impact of fleeting moments ... the song starts with the singer acknowledging the affirmation of being the "best thing" to someone, yet questioning if that is truly what they need ... this ambivalent sentiment is characterized by the chorus repeating the phrase "born desert sun" multiple times, which could represent the transience and warmth of a fleeting moment ...
    the second verse introduces the idea of leaving behind previous struggles and "ghosts" to start anew in a car ... however, the singer questions what is truly necessary for a fresh start, and whether "living with the truth" is enough ... the song seems to acknowledge that sometimes the "new thing" or "kisses" might be enough to provide temporary satisfaction, but it is unclear whether this will truly lead to a fulfilling and lasting sense of happiness ....
    overall, "Kisses" seems to be an introspective exploration of the fleeting nature of happiness and the search for fulfillment in new experiences, all set to the dreamy and atmospheric soundscapes that Slowdive is known for ...

    A little off topic the casting and costuming for this video is amazing. A lot of times when older bands make music videos, they use people and styles that represent what their aesthetic used to be instead of the current alternative scene. Current bands get the style right but usually use supermodels and dress them up almost too perfect. But this video? THIS is what real alt kids look like. The hair, the piercings, the rings, the various styles of makeup. It's incredibly in touch with actual youth culture in a way I didn't expect

    Love how danceable this is yet retains that wistful, almost melancholy feel that Slowdive has perfected.

    I dare say that Kisses is the most beautiful song ever released by Slowdive
