My biggest regret is not seeing these live, before we lost Ben. They were playing at the same venue in Birmingham that I was seeing Melt-Banana, on the same night.(in another room of course), still pains me...
I never got to see them either. I saw The Secret Machines 3 times. It was a rough time for shoegaze and sonic laced rock. They really had a hard time filling up venues. The big buzz was MGMT, The Black Keys, etc. One of The Secret Machines last shows they literally played in front of like 60 people. 2007-2014 were dark days for shoegaze, and this song is a straight up shoegaze track with the vocals brought to the surface about 10% because of their beauty. People call it dreampop because of the synth I think. But honestly, it was their way at the time to fill up the sound space considering it was basically a duo on this record. They really created some really interesting and beautiful soundscapes that puts this record on the "A" tier for me.
I didn't even know about this band until a friend told me Benjamin died and I looked them up and I really like their music, I'm almost in tears already because he made some beautiful music RIP Benjamin
hallo i live in sydney australia. i really like this mob. the cocteau twins of the 21st century. layered sounds, melodies, upbeat chiming soundscape....
What? I reminisce, I reminisce, possibly obsess. I'm grateful they happened & shared before Benjamin departed. Someone sharing their gifts, their true beauty- it's pure love. Drink now. I'm outtie 5000.
@Darkoleptic Lafaye is the name of the girl of whom the album is based around. Ghostory is the story of the girl Lafaye and the troubles that surround her life.
This is day 15 of this song looping endlessly in my head. This song, and "Low Times." Both songs make me want to go out and start a revolution and shit, lmao.
No me lo puedo creer, ¿solo 43.577 visionados?, no se merece solo eso, se merece mas, esta canción me ha tocado el corazón (0_0) I can not believe, is only 43,577 viewings?, No one deserves that, deserves more, this song touched my heart (0_0)
What's your religion Alejandra? Im a pagan that practices many different types of spirit communion. I love Allah. And I love female witches the ones that do not practice harm. The real witches 😊😊
If you like this then you should also check out "Man Without Country's" version of Lafaye on their "RMX" EP - really good, more ethereal and electronic, but adds a level of dreaminess to it....check it out ; - )
nibble234 this comment you probably forgot you wrote. I read it and looked into man without country. An incredible album and great band. I owe you for posting.. Live long friend.

RIP Ben, we're flying on your music
Just picked up Ghostory, and this is without a doubt my favorite song on the album.
Scavenger is my favorite, but this is my 2nd

I am kind of happy this is not mainstream, kind of... we are privilege to know sosb

Yeah this happens to me too, it is hard to see these bands that make you move so much live!
I have been to the house where they shot the video. It is siccccckkkkening.
WOW!!
Such a loss...They made a great team. Could have been anything by now R.I.P
That's that saddest part for me
Just today I learn of this wonderful song and group. Sorry for the loss of Benjamin.
hallo i live in sydney australia. i really like this mob. the cocteau twins of the 21st century. layered sounds, melodies, upbeat chiming soundscape....
I had no idea that School of Seven Bells had new songs. I am so late.
emusic brought me here, too. Kudos.
how can anyone not like this???

Love the song...love the video...love the album...love the band!
Sad day with this news, you left us two fantastic bands....RIP
RIP Ben! You will be missed. Beautiful music.
This song inspired a book I am currently writing. It's so amazing!
I said the same exact thing to my friend when he showed me this song. SOSB sounds like a very dancey Bats for Lashes
.

.Brilliant.

Beautiful
I see this group on European TV ( ARTE ) It was an Live Concert from Berlin Kreutzberg. Very Nice !
That is why KEXP is so good. You just see the musicians without the silly "music videos." SVIIB's KEXP vids are worth a look by the way.
excellent !! divineness...
Seriously adore this song...and Alejandra and Claudia ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Really looking forward to hearing the new album, love SVIIB!
This my shit, and im black,, I love music like this...
You are not like rap music?
+Gunlaya Karnnimit i love all types of music
♥
Records is a masterpiece.... so is the cactus Album and Slayer South of Heaven....
@@terro33 I think liking many different genres opens your eyes to the world :)
This has to be my favorite song in the album. The video is gorgeous as well, I totally love it!
shes guatemalan.
Down right awesome.
Ringer brought me here ! Amazing song *-*
🐐
@Darkoleptic Lafaye is the name of the girl of whom the album is based around. Ghostory is the story of the girl Lafaye and the troubles that surround her life.
oh yeah!!!
RIP Benjamin
Perfekt 😅
Dope
The new album is great! I checked it out on hypem and like it a lot more then the last.
Or maybe... just MAYBE... the camera hovers towards her! That's what I love so much about this song, the sense of ambiguity.
Fantastic song!
Alejandra Deheza- one of the most attractive and talented musicians of the 2010s. Those deep brown eyes!
I read in a review on guardian uk that this entire album is a concept album based on this character named Lafaye and the "ghosts" that haunt her.
Holy crap, some friends of mine are playing with these guys next month.
Love it as soon as I heard it! Cool video clip!
Brilliant.
i freakin love her hair
Great track, stellar vocals....well done!!!
Conheci essa musica atraves dum programa da Parana TV de Curitiba,muito bom o som do S7B.
Soo good.
wow! Brutal...
Love
My fav. song on the album, but I have no idea what it's about. =P
__________________________Brilliant.
Thanks to MuppetFace on head-fi,...now I have a great new group to listen to. And they're NY'ers!!!
Purchased today in UK. Bliss - Gig next week :)
Got here from Ringer too, love the ethereal feel of this song and video, Laaaa faaaayeee:)
Very dreamy, absolutely love this!
Awesome... ;D
Perfect song!
Video might be kinda pointless, but it's utterly captivating...
+TheStanishStudios i think this describes most music videos
Far away from their epic Windstorm
That's it ? Only 37000 views? Are we missing a couple zeroes at the end ?
QEPD Ben, una lástima su partida.
Great song......cant get it out off my head :)

Tour Australia now!
R.I.P. Ben
Well, this just yes'd me now.
Alpinism album was great, now lets see Ghoststory
they also got a new EP that came out NOV that is sweeter...
RIP Ben... :'(
Não canso de ouvir está música, para mim será eterna....
I think the last two albums are better. Way better!!!!!!!!
This reminds me of Bat For Lashes, I'm not sure why..
@Blackboxtv Brought me here!
uiuiui - cool.
Love the band, love the song, love the vid.... The only thing that seemed a little off was @ 3:03 with the finger in the head..
LA HA FAI HAAYY ^_^
this reminds me of Mew, great sound.
Searched as much as I could on Google, couldn't find anything on "Lafaye"... What/who is it? Or at least what does it mean?
As for Cocteau Twins-esque current bands, check out "Floating In Blue" by Young Prisms
She looks different, sounds different from Chains but I like it.
Can anyone tell me what's the meaning of the lyric? O.o However it's a great song no doubt.
Such a good song. I meditate to this and conjure the spirit.
RIP Ben. 기억할게요.
@0Genus0 at first i thougt that it has maybe a distant relation with Lafayette...
What's your religion Alejandra?
Im a pagan that practices many different types of spirit communion.
I love Allah. And I love female witches the ones that do not practice harm. The real witches 😊😊
do Deep eyes
I want a Double Decker, 4 Fiesta Fries, 7 up's, 8 popsnacks and if you don't have Popcorn chicken, the Kolonel might give you a Fuck.... C?

@0Genus0 Thank you! If I may ask, how did you get all this info?

ooh i'm viewer 100.000 :D someone get me a beer !
@MeTonyV Of @Blackboxtv Posted the link via twitter.
Pretty sure Alley's lying on the floor around 2:00. The dress looks the same...
aren't they the same band as on air library with more people ?
How is that possible? ._.
