"It’s about feeling like you’re losing time with someone you care about, and not wanting to wake up in a couple of years and feel like you wasted the time that you had. My mom has had a terminal illness for the last 10 years, since I was 12. It was something that I always pushed to the back of my mind, but when I started traveling a lot around Clean, I ended up spending a lot of time worrying about the fact that time is slipping away."

LYRICS
The bright August sun feels like yellow
And the white of your eyes is so yellow
The tiny lie I told to myself is making me hollow
I've been choking on truths that I couldn't swallow
I'm falling apart over a memory
And the weight in my heart is getting too heavy
'Cause every word is a nail that slips in slowly
And I can't hammer it down enough to keep holding in
And I could lie but it's never made me feel good inside, I'm still so blue
I can't erase the hue, it's just colored over
I'm thinking of her from over the ocean
See her face in the waves, her body is floating
And in her eyes, like clementines, I know that she's fading
And the light of the sun is only a daydream
And I could lie but it's never made me feel good inside, I'm still so blue
I can't erase the hue, it's just colored over
Loving you isn't enough, you'll still be deep in the ground when it's done
I'll know the day when it comes
I'll feel the cold as they put out my sun
Loving you isn't enough, you'll still be deep in the ground when it's done
I'll know the day when it comes
I'll feel the cold as they put out my sun

This is very big 90s movie energy where the protagonist feels lost and alone before the big finish
Sabrina Siu facts.
Where's my big finish at?
Still waiting for my big finish
Radiohead vibes
Her whole album sounds like 90s alt
this is one of the most heartbreaking songs I've ever heard. the comments here are weird man.
That's why we love the comments section
:)
your spelled perfect wrong
When she was in the ocean it made me think that she was numbed with depression with something that happened to her and when she was swimming in the ocean and splashing in the waves it must’ve made her feel at peace while letting out her emotions and in the end she let the water caress her skin and let the waves crash onto her and make her feel whole with the ocean and the warm sun illuminating on her skin while the water caresses her
@@biankalatoma4775 !!
How someone born in 1997 can sound this authentically mid-to-late-90s is a mystery to me (and I was there).
Charles Carr The stars shone for her
Agreed. I was there and this sounds like something you would see on MTV around 96-97.
@@EricEustace Totally. Mazzy Star, Cowboy Junkies, something like that.
and it is so good for it!
By studying shoegaze tracks, the music mags of the day, the underground fanzine stuff and the synth mags to get the correct equipment to recreate the sounds 😉. Those guitars are so very 4AD Records, Cocteau Twins etc mixed with Prefab Sprout vibes too.
Thomas Dolby, the genius synth master and computer programmer runs courses in a University somewhere in the USA, teaching these sounds and techniques. Same as the Brit School in Croydon.
Just buried my mom in April after her 12 year battle with cancer. I’ve never felt so seen. Thank you Sophie.
If loving her was enough she’d still be here.
My mom died from alcoholism when I was 14. I feel like this song is about her. She died in August, she had jaundice... and I’ve been lying to myself since she died about her never coming back. :( Thank you, I really needed to hear this.
I'm so sorry for your loss :(
I love the melancholic, 90s alt vibes of this song and then in the end there's a guitar solo that sounds very 70's glam rock. They surprisingly work together so beautifully.
I agree. I've been digging through my memory to try and find what song this reminds me of from the 90s/ early 2000s. Does it remind you of any specific songs?
Shanan Kinsella Has a similar if not the same chord progression as creep by radiohead and also has beeg yellow by coldplay vibes, also reminds me of Alex Turners Submarine soundtrack
Well stated and exactly what it is!!! LOVE THIS! I am a 60's baby and grew up in the late 70's early 80's...this track feels like home! ^..^
This definitely harkens back to Pink Floyd’s “Fat Old Sun” in its song structure, especially with the “heavier” guitar out to riffs. Somewhat of an influence there
i feel like its fkin kurt cobain girl style
Don't know if it's too soon to judge it, but I think this may be the best Soccer Mommy song so far.
100%
I personally think "Your Dog" is her best
Bruh you need to listen to bloodstream
Personally I like: your dog, wildflowers, royal screw up a little more but this is great too 👍🏽
@@robynthebank919 agreed
Her “Dagger” Slowdive cover not only showcased her exquisite taste in music but this song just convinced me of her melancholic artistry/songwriting ability.
I lost my Mom , my Dad and brother to a terminal illness and watched each one pass away while holding them. This song is a beautiful representation of my feelings and how even while watching them slowly slip away, I still felt the beauty and warmth of each of their love. It was a letting go of all the pain that their bodies went through and finding beauty in the fact they would no longer be suffering from the disease that ravished each of them. I love them and miss them and know we will all be together again.
Rachel Bridges You are a very strong, beautiful and sentient individual. I hope you live to achieve great things, feel deep, meaningful emotions and joy and experience things you can cherish for the rest of your life.
I'm so sorry for your losses 💟
Watching a disease ravage your loved one- oh man, that's too sad, too awful, too much anguish. God bless you. Nice that Soccer Mommy helps. That gorgeous guitar finish is so emotional.
My little brother died at the start of this year. Seven am, January 1st, 2022. Took my car and picked up his best friend. Friend survived the impact with the tree.
i feel you friend. being awake just hurts sometimes. you have my love and a hug from a stranger on the internet if you want it. i hope you are well.
💖💔
Circle the drain has a 90's sound to it but the start of this has a Beach House vibe. Both I dig to death. This band is growing on me big time.
Same
With all respect, Beach House is nothing compared to her. She's not a shallow hipster band. She's magnificent. She's big. She actually writes songs. Songs that can be compared to Elliott Smith and she sings amazingly. Beach House is nothing.
@@garrywindshield1 "beach house is nothing" your opinion is objectively wrong. they're both incredibly good and they both do their own things successfully. don't try to raise one of them up by shooting the other down.
@@mahoumofo I sincerely don't think they write solid, great songs. Not all Mommy's songs are perfect, but when she's good she's really really good, like as good as songs get. BH is just a mediocre indie band. More successful than others, not without talent but their songs are just not there. It's like comparing Randy Newman to Bieber. Not all people can write really good song.
@@mahoumofo and I said it not because I hate BH. For example, I enjoy The Killers and still I would say the same about them. Mommy is on completely different level.
Man, where are the Grammy nods for this track and album? I know the nomination process is super political, but still... Sophie got seriously robbed. One of the best of the year. Such a moving and smart songwriter.
So beautiful. I'm not even mad she rhymed "yellow" with "yellow."
Stop looking at lyrics as flat rhyme schemes. Plenty of artists reinstate the ending word for emphasis, Billy Corgan does it A LOT as an amazing lyricist. It’s done in poetry too.
I agree with you, but I’m pretty sure they were joking lol
I actually think that the repetition of yellow is beneficial to the theme of the song. comparing the sun to yellow, comparing her eyes to yellow. its very sad :( the repetition of yellow is necessary
@@annabethchase4582 yeah. for me it evokes the sudden painful reminder of grief your mind gives you by making an innocent association. That or being haunted or fixated, disconnected.
she actually rhymed white with bright. It wasn't the end of the lyric that was meant to rhyme, in the first line.
@@Robeebert Yes, I'm sure rhyming at "the end of the lyric" was just an unfortunate oversight. I can't believe she made the same mistake in the following two lines. Probably a coincidence.
"The bright August sun feels like yellow
And the white of your eyes is so yellow
The tiny lie I told to myself is making me hollow
I've been choking on truths that I couldn't swallow"
This song has big ”searching for meaning in a world that has none” energy. I’m glad she found it eventually, maybe one day the rest of us will too
Embrace the Absurd
lol at guys, there is meaning
but this song is about her mother
You can find it in Jesus. He's awaiting you with open arms
@@missanythingfunnyyeah too bad he never existed
“And I could lie but it’s never made me feel good inside, I’m still so blue, I can’t erase the hue, it’s just colored over”
These specific lines hit home too hard, they’re the exact same feelings I’ve felt since my dad passed away, up until now. This whole song is a masterpiece.
Been there and yes, it does.
So true. A tremendous feat.
"Just colored over", begs from me all respect I could ever hold for an artist. She is just so purely naked in her words my own covers become invisible.
Thank you for mentioning this part :' )
you know it's a good song when it feels like 3 minutes and you want more
My mom died last August to cancer. I enjoyed this song before she passed, but when I learned what it was about, it took on a whole other meaning. The August sun mentioned in this song particularly hurts. This song gives me such an indescribable feeling. I miss you mom. You were my sun.
Dude I'm loving this rn, she's doing well but things aren't looking good
She’s so underrated
ikr
Sometimes, just sometimes a song hits you full force , melodic, emotion, a feeling, greater than the sum of its parts, fucking beautiful..
One of the most beautiful melodies I’ve ever heard. Long live rock.
If she went far enough,I think she would meet Chris Martin at the beach
I hope this comment is at the top when this song has a million views.
Samee
And Coldplay has a song YELLOW as well back in 2000.
Avril Ramona I think that’s part of the joke....no?
i love this comment
There's a 90's vibe here and I love it.
thats what shes goin for. i like it.
Teenage Fanclub meets Mazzy Star
"The tiny lie I told to myself is making me hollow I've been choking on truths that I couldn't swallow Im falling apart over a memory and a weight in my heart is getting too heavy" That's a classic hit if I ever heard one!! And she carries the video performance just as well beautiful emotions jerker is what quality songwriting does can feel her pain
laughing imagining her turning around to reveal a third ponytail on the back
@Dakota Hope thank u
Lmao why did I laugh at this
One tail is a pony tail - two tails are pig tails - three tails are ???????? Tigertailz??
I couldnt stop laughing through the rest of the video thinking about her third tail
This one got me
This song is so fkn sad. I broke up with my gf two months ago and on my drive home immediately after doing that....this song came on and I started bawling. A 29 year old man. I don't think I had ever done that. I know her subject matter is different than mine, but just the tones and vibe is so melancholy. It's hard for me to come back to this song.
I'm sorry
@@d1etpussy621 sall good
Get it out! Good to cry :)
Music is personal. How it applies is custom for us all.
sophie, thank you so much for this absolute masterpiece. i can't even imagine the pain you must feel, i hope you and your mother are able to enjoy each other's company for a long time while you still can. she is truly blessed to have you as her daughter, and i hope you know that. i hope you remember that wherever she is when it's all over, she will always love you. i wish you both the best ❤
Wow. This isn’t just a song, it’s an experience. 10/10 👏 Soccer Mommy is by far the best alternative band of this generation as far as I’m concerned.
OneSilentGiant who?
OneSilentGiant OK
Hatchie and Alvvays are very pleasant musicians too.
@OneSilentGiant all these bands don't hold a candle to Soccer Mommy's music. Anyone who suggests the opposite understands nothing. She writes real SONGS. Like real SONGS. Something we haven't witnessed in a while. She's on par with Elliott Smith, Ron Sexsmith or even Townes Van Zandt. Not some pretentious indie bullshit. I'm not easily impressed. She's very solid. And by the way including bands like Cat Power or Angel Olsen is ridiculous. They shouldn't be mentioned in one sentence with Soccer Mommy. Japanese Breakfast is sweet though. But no, they don't have songwriting abilities like Sophia does.
@OneSilentGiant check out Ron Sexsmith if you haven't already. He's very talented and somewhat obscure. And Lisa Germano (you probably know her).
This is the darkest song lyrically.
If you like dark 90s stuff, I recommend Alice in Chains. If their normal stuff is too heavy, unplugged is great :)
Dear gawd, she’s effing amazing. And has progressed so much even though her initial album was brill. This makes 70’s ballad rock seem so lame. It is lush and emotional and rich.
Loving you isn't enough
You'll still be deep in the ground when it's done
I'll know the day when it comes
I'll feel the cold as they put out my sun
😢
that section BREAKS ME
This is a masterpiece! Vibes, lyrics, video - it takes you on eternal journey of self reflection. This is what art is about. It's really unfortunate that this style of music will never appear on your average radio station - all we hear is pop R&B EDM with pointless lyrics and literally same beats. I'm glad I have Spotify and can navigate my way out to these gems.
my mum died of pancreatic cancer a couple of years ago, and this song came on my spotify and hit me like brick. its such a beautiful representation of how it feels to slowly lose someone to terminal illness, and about knowing there's nothing you can do but you still love them and hold them in your memory and make peace with the fact. thank you for this
My mother in law is dying of pancreatic too. What did other people do or say that brought you comfort during it? Wish I could take the pain away from my husband.
7:17 minutes of my day spent right 💛
why this kind of music doesn't get the attention it needs
Love this, sounds so dreamy.
Like Eisley tunes..
This track never fails to be both a sad and deeply cathartic listen at the same time. The guitar melodies gleam gently with a disarmingly gorgeous brand of calm - Allison has a knack for composing music like that. Her lyrics involving our struggles with the human condition are very relatable as well. One thing I like about her is that although her lyrics are mostly describing her past experiences with keeping her psyche afloat and loss, she delivers them in arrangements that never sound depressing, instead packaging them in somewhat hopeful-sounding and warm, nostalgic colors, specifically with her choice of chords, instrumentation, etc.
I love how all this grungey music is coming back
Grungey?
How does this sound like grunge 🙇🏽♂️
It's more like alternative going back to it's roots.
Can you give me some more newer grungy songs I love this shit
@@HariSidhu03 it's not grunge, but I can recommend a group called Slow Pulp they're very alternative & melancholic
Whoa calm down Sophie, I'm still processing "Clean"!
One of my favorite albums of last year
"And in her eyes, like clementines, I know that she's fading" is that a goddamn Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind reference?
I like how she contrasts between the color blue and yellow on the chorus, both being opposite colors in the spectrum
maybe soccer mommy snapped or whateva
[Verse 1]
The bright August sun feels like yellow
And the white of her eyes is so yellow
The tiny lie I told to myself is making me hollow
I've been choking up truths that I couldn't swallow
[Verse 2]
I'm falling apart over a memory
And the weight in my heart is getting too heavy
'Cause every word is a nail that's loosening slowly
And I can't hammer it down enough to keep holding in
[Chorus]
And I could lie
But it's never made me feel good inside
I'm still so blue
I can't erase the hue, it's just colored over
[Verse 3]
I'm thinking of her from over the ocean
See her face in the waves, her body is floating
And in her eyes, like clementines, I know that she's fading
And the light of the sun is only a daydream
[Chorus]
And I could lie
But it's never made me feel good inside
I'm still so blue
I can't erase the hue, it's just colored over
[Outro]
Loving you isn't enough
You'll still be deep in the ground when it's done
I'll know the day when it comes
I'll feel the cold as they put out my sun
Loving you isn't enough
You'll still be deep in the ground when it's done
I'll know the day when it comes
I'll feel the cold as they put out my sun
So gorgeous on every level. And so so sad. Thank you. This album is utterly brilliant.
in the lyrics i picture the struggle of losing a loved one to alcoholism. the doubt, guilt, helplessness and straight sadness that goes along with it. the darkening of the eyes from liver damage as time goes on (from yellow, to like clementines) juxtaposed with the setting sun, her death. idk thats just what i got from it. great songwriting
You described it perfectly, currently what I'm going through with my mom
@@LouJNT stay strong buddy, I've been there too
fully cried listening to this after reading what it was about and relating to it. thank you Sophie
yellow is the color of my wig that you snatched
Lololol!
nice pfp
Why is this the funniest thing I've read all day?
Well that's just cold blooded lol
loool
I lost my dog to cancer a couple months ago. It’s probably stupid but she meant the world to me and I miss her so much. She was still so young and it destroyed me to see the life leave her eyes. It hurts so much I wish I could hug her and see that she’s happier now
Your love was her whole world. Even though she left sooner than you both would have hoped, that love is a gift that will last forever.
like wildflowers times ten. love it
I recently discovered SM through Lucy. I immediately added all the songs I could on Spotify and binged it all a few times over. Now I'm set to get my tickets to the concert in April. I love the power that good music has! ♥️
there's a ton of her earlier lo-fi music that isn't on spotify bud. Look up "songs from my bedroom". So many good songs on that album.
Mister Teapot “bud”
Check out snail mail, no vacation, men I trust, the Maria's and Jaysom if you like SM . All high quality bands for sure 🙌
How was the concert? 🌝🌚
This Dawson's Creek episode sounds pretty good.
I love this song but also can't deny the truth of what you've said! :)
The bright August sun feels like yellow
And the white of your eyes is so yellow
The tiny lie I told to myself is making me hollow
I've been choking on truths that I couldn't swallow
I'm falling apart over a memory
And the weight in my heart is getting too heavy
'Cause every word is a nail that slips in slowly
And I can't hammer it down enough to keep holding in
And I could lie but it's never made me feel good inside, I'm still so blue
I can't erase the hue, it's just colored over
I'm thinking of her from over the ocean
See her face in the waves, her body is floating
And in her eyes, like clementines, I know that she's fading
And the light of the sun is only a daydream
And I could lie but it's never made me feel good inside, I'm still so blue
I can't erase the hue, it's just colored over
Loving you isn't enough, you'll still be deep in the ground when it's done
I'll know the day when it comes
I'll feel the cold as they put out my sun
Loving you isn't enough, you'll still be deep in the ground when it's done
I'll know the day when it comes
I'll feel the cold as they put out my sun
Thanks
Thanks 😊
I just discovered this song and holy shit... I am obsessed. Can’t stop listening. So sad but so good.
My dog likes this, she was shaking her head when i played this and stopped when the song was over
just casually driving alone in some unknown road and smoking a cigarette while listening to this
well using your cellphone... good one iwang...
Semoga nggak lagi pakai motor..
Oh my god i love this new sound. I loved lucy, i love this, and i know for sure that i am going to love the new album. I love Soccer Mommy if you can't tell :2)
Definietly has an addictive quality to it. I love it.
Had the complete pleasure of seeing Soccer Mommy in Birmingham last week and they closed with this song. Brought tears to my eyes.
Anybody else hear that slightly out-of-tune E string on the very last chord she plays? It actually is an excellent sound
Life has regained its meaning
Next level guitar playing here
the length of this song is perfect in a way that i couldn't explain
this song is in my playlist and im just now realizing its 7 minutes long
this is probably my favourite song of yours so far, you're killing it out there sophie
"Loving you isn't enough, you'll still be deep in the ground when it's done
I know the day when it comes, I'll feel the cold as they put out my sun"
are the lines that hit so hard. As the person who got to hold, feed and bathe my father, and was with him throughout his dying days, it was really difficult, terrifying, and painful to watch him succumbing to his illness. I was bargaining with time and was wishing it would slow down because I knew he wouldn't be around for long. It's not even acceptance, it's just knowing that he was surely going to leave us. And no matter how much I tell him or myself I love him and no matter how much I do love him, it will never be enough to bring him back.
This song is really personal to me and it helps me cope because it perfectly encapsulates the pain and anticipatory grief that a family member feels as they all go through another family member's final moments.
this is the definition of underrated
Much love to the band. Glad to see you guys back with more and I wish you the best. 🖤💜🖤💜
Cannot wait to see her in April 🌌👀
801'st like!
It's an instant classic!
Like Coldplay visits Strawberry Fields...
:)
This is an absolute gem.
This is the song i listen to every winter and watch the golden hour sunset from my bedroom. I thought of him and how happy he made me.
Oh this song is SO BEAUTIFUL i cried the first time i heard it. I still do sometimes but oh boy this song actually makes me warm like when you go out side and let the sun sit on you for å few minutes. A gentle warm touch ❤️
Reminds me of Jeff buckley...speaking of which please don't play in that river
I love him so damn much
What a beautiful master piece!
wow this song just hits so hard
heard this song the first time I learned that my father had an end-stage illness, cried while listening to this song. now that he had passed away, i listened to it again and hurts more than before
So "Cool" to see how Sophie has grown as an artist over the years.
Underrated as heck I’m so happy I found you wtf
oh my god this music literally fills my chest with whatever’s missing from it
Them feels on this track. I believe I've found my first favorite track of 2020. 😢
I lost my best friend, she died too young. She also had a liver disease so this hits hard because at her worst health, her eyes were so yellow.
We grew up together and I wish we could’ve grown old together. We aren’t even 30 yet
The sincerity in this is ... beyond rare. One of the saddest songs I've ever heard
Wow watched it all. Simply lovely single and video. 🖤♾
Beautiful song ❤
Man I miss my dad. We used to listen to songs with this 90s sound everyday on the ride to school.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS.
The guitar pulls every emotion out of me. ☺️😭🥰New favorite!
This is one of my favorites. This is such a beautiful , calming song 🖤
I can’t stop thinking about this song during marble scene of squid game, the story progression of the two girls somehow matched with this song sonically and lyrically, so melancholic…
She‘s great. It‘s just comforting! Big heart.
Dat girl be jaundice 👩
PLEASE
Huh?
I thought the same thing or Malaria...
How could you NOT think that 10 seconds in?😂
smh fr doe
fell in love to this album
Thanks for making me cry. I needed it.
Yellow the colour of my sunrise, the colour of this.It's a gem.
The mv fits the music PERFECTLY , both the feeling and the way it shows . Really impressive. BIG thumb up for yall.
happy one year birthday to this song
in its imperfect perfection
love you, person reading this
This song and the sound of rain on my roof as I'm falling asleep tonight 🥰
The vibesssssss. Such vibe so wow
This is so so good. I haven't been able to stop listening to it. your voice is too beautiful 🖤 🖤
Can't wait to see you live next summer :'(
I love this brilliant song and can't get enough!
The riff and guitar tone remind me a lot of the R.E.M 'everyday is yours to win', in a really good way.
Simply amazing
