Aside from the now-old cars, the video looks like it was shit yesterday. They were really on the cutting edge. I think of this song on many a windy day.
This music and this video are so specially magical for me. I can have put into words how I feel but maybe the tears on my eyes and the smile on my face did. 🥺💜
I hate but love that this is over 10 years old now. 15 most of 2010, 27 now and have seen and understood what life is unfortunately. Wish I still had the mindsight of 15 year old me regardless, RIP Ben, you've left a legacy in music
One of my brother's friends posted a song by these guys on his Facebook page just after he died. My brother was a fan but we didn't get to discuss them for one reason or another. It has began a very close relationship between myself and this group. Only after this I read about Ben. This is a very special band for me and these songs are fantastic. I will always go back to it. I travelled through china with these songs on my headphones this year, it's been fantastic.
ben got as many years as we got from him...but WE have the magic of playback...WE can enjoy this music until my great grand kids become great grand parents...RIP BC 2013...
I got into this band from this album before I knew about Benjamin, and of course now it holds deeper meaning and emotions, but it really is a genuinely great album. Just beautiful poignant and majestic.
I love this video, and I'm glad the the band's getting more of the attention that they rightfully deserve. Seeing them on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' was a wonderful treat! :-)
This is music video making at its best. I love the simple imagery of the hand on the heart and how that connects everything in the video as well as the effect that this elemental has had on the boy's life.
Windmills cut thru The void dividing the imagined and true The eyes neglect to see what the heart pursues But my heart finds a dream in these unseen hues In the untouchable That's not to say That i don't feel the limitations and the Drop from the expectation It's not naive But the heart of creation It's the only Thing proven true to me When the fire's burnin from sky to ground Swing my weight around Begin the windstorm When the fire's burnin from sky to ground Swing my weight around Begin the windstorm Time past has thrown Shadows over my shoulder that as ghosts owned Movement of my desires lost like a stone Cast as a wish into a well with no sound No answer at the end How can i say It's wrong to feel the limitations and the Drop from the expectation. it's not naive But the heart of creation. it's the only Thing proven true to me When the fire's burnin from sky to ground Swing my weight around Begin the windstorm When the fire's burnin from sky to ground Swing my weight around Begin the windstorm
Windstorm] Wind mills cut through, the voids of hiding the Imagine then truth the eyes neglect to see what The heart pursues then my heart finds a dream in me It sees you in the untouchable That's not to say that I don't feel the limitations and the Dropped from the expectation its not lying But the heart of creation is the only Thing proven true to me When the fires burn and from sky to ground Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm When the fires burn and from sky to ground Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm When the fires burn and from sky to ground Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm When the fires burn and from sky to ground Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm Time passed has shown shadows of where my shoulder That has goes on, movement of my desires Lost like a storm, cast out and wished into A well with no sound, you'll answer at the end When the fires burn and from sky to ground Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm When the fires burn and from sky to ground Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm When the fires burn and from sky to ground Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm When the fires burn and from sky to ground Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm When the fires burn and from sky to ground Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm When the fires burn and from sky to ground Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm
@stigmaweb She had a baby a few years ago. Stereogum did a Progress Report on SVIIB a few months before Disconnect came out and there's a picture of him there. :)
@abetrasken It's not like they do it on purpose, they can't help that they are both talented and beautiful. Also, they have already become something uniquely beautiful. What are you waiting for?
@MachineManWolf I'm not attacking them for being beautiful, just saying that it has no relation to their talent, a rare opinion in today's music industry. I'm not knocking these guys, don't get me wrong, half asleep is one of the most played songs on my ipod, but I'm able to recognise and understand that not everyone can pick up the subtleties of their style, and to some people the songs will seem interchangeable. Theyre still a fairly young act, and I think they'll keep getting better with time
@MachineManWolf Some people won't share your taste in music, it's too complex and diverse a concept to state anything as fact. However the modern tendency to create a correlation between 'talent' and 'good looks' is slowly destroying that diversity, blending the rainbow of musical possibilities into one murky shade of grey that appeals to the masses because it's designed to. Having said that, SOSB is a great band, and I think they have the potential to evolve into something uniquely beautiful
@HMG5588 doesnt work like that because humans created the concept of the 12 month year as a cycle god had no idea what month or day it was because he omnipotent he is outside of time and space so his understanding of time is infinite. and even if your right about the dates there was a 4 year period in history were we fucked up the date so the year is TECHNICALLY already 2015
@HMG5588 this is a good example of what i teach my philosophy students that you cannot argue with someone so closed minded and set on something, they are to far gone
@HMG5588 I'm not sure which Bible you are reading, but the one on my shelf acutally states that no man knows the time or the day when the world will end. You need to re-read your scripture, if you've read it at all.
I'm sure if there is a God and he is powerful enough to create everything then I guess it is safe to imagine that he is able to understand physics and science on a level of building blocks. Like a child with Legos. We love to act as if science disproves a God but it is the argument. Who created everything? Including the building blocks. It begs the question. It cannot be proved or disproved so you might as well save your breath. Thanks.
@HMG5588 philosophy doesn't live in ignorance there are lots of people who study philosphy that belive in the bible and god... remeber me in 2 months time
@HMG5588 lots of diffrent interpretations of what the bible means but the "bible" there is a old testament and a new. it is a collection of documents written by lots of diffrent people from the time of jesus but also written by others hundreds of years apart
Religious debates over youtube, really? Religion and god is something man will never know for as long as we exist, so stop arguing your beliefs because everyone has them and everyone's is different. Reality is, most people are close-minded or ignorant, and they're not going to listen what you have to say, they'd rather shove their opinions down your throat.
@Invisiblefiyah What is the cause of your apathy for your own life? How can you look at yourself in the mirror and not wonder at the incredible miracle that you exist in the 1st place. How can you not recognize the importance of your own life and how you affect other people around you? The spirit of God seeks to enrich the lives of those that invite God into their hearts and minds. Yet billions of people hate God or are indifferent to Him all together. What's your story? Why so sad? Pray.
Right, because I'm "ignorant" (read: not fooled by) of the bible, I must also be ignorant of the empirical study that is science. Yeah, cool. All wisdom comes from man's experiences, his failures and his successes. If the Big Man in the Sky is where it all comes from, then he's the reason bad stuff happens too.
Can't believe this is ten years old - wow, time flies. RIP Ben. Gone so soon, so young. Great music lasts forever.
Aside from the now-old cars, the video looks like it was shit yesterday. They were really on the cutting edge.
I think of this song on many a windy day.
Ha, I was just thinking the same thing- RIP Ben
12 years now

One of the greatest songs Ever written
RIP Ben. Great musician and great bands! You'll be missed.

The melody line is great, it feels like I've known it for long time
Such poetic lyrics. This brilliant bands music is so rich and melodic. Thank you for the amazing sounds. Thank you for posting 📫

i just heard this song today & feel in love with it
Just bought a new stereo for the car today. This is the first CD I slid in. ...played it loud.
Her voice is so woderful!
Lyricism, harmony, good vibes,
Perfection 🎶🔥
Linda canción, me encanta, aquí en Perú doble 9, era la única radio q lo pasaba, la buena música nunca pasa de moda.
Escutava essa música em 2010 e ainda me desperta bons sentimentos 💚
81 plays in my iTunes. Thank you for the music, Benjamin.
I love this video, and I'm glad the the band's getting more of the attention that they rightfully deserve. Seeing them on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' was a wonderful treat! :-)
RIP Benjamin Curtis :(

Windmills cut thru
The void dividing the imagined and true
The eyes neglect to see what the heart pursues
But my heart finds a dream in these unseen hues
In the untouchable
That's not to say
That i don't feel the limitations and the
Drop from the expectation
It's not naive
But the heart of creation
It's the only
Thing proven true to me
When the fire's burnin from sky to ground
Swing my weight around
Begin the windstorm
When the fire's burnin from sky to ground
Swing my weight around
Begin the windstorm
Time past has thrown
Shadows over my shoulder that as ghosts owned
Movement of my desires lost like a stone
Cast as a wish into a well with no sound
No answer at the end
How can i say
It's wrong to feel the limitations and the
Drop from the expectation. it's not naive
But the heart of creation. it's the only
Thing proven true to me
When the fire's burnin from sky to ground
Swing my weight around
Begin the windstorm
When the fire's burnin from sky to ground
Swing my weight around
Begin the windstorm
If heaven had a voice & this was it, i'd not be saddened by slipping away...
Ive Missed this Band.
Forgot all about this song. Good stuff.
I love this.
Damn son!! I'll always love this band!! :(:(:(:(:(!!!
Amazing song
Nossa vi o trecho desse video no comercial da MTVBRASIL e me apaixonei pelo vídeo :)
Its so fun using this download, subbed and liked this video.
very Cocteau Twinish.......great live, saw them with M83!!
Me too. In Wilmington, NC ❤ and I think in Raleigh with Interpol when Brandon was with them.
I like this. Why they are not popular yet?
They were!
2022 I had a Dream.
Um hino!
Concordo contigo.
Their voices. Twins!
I miss you so bad. I hope you are doing well Alejandra.
Windstorm]
Wind mills cut through, the voids of hiding the
Imagine then truth the eyes neglect to see what
The heart pursues then my heart finds a dream in me
It sees you in the untouchable
That's not to say that I don't feel the limitations and the
Dropped from the expectation its not lying
But the heart of creation is the only
Thing proven true to me
When the fires burn and from sky to ground
Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm
When the fires burn and from sky to ground
Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm
When the fires burn and from sky to ground
Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm
When the fires burn and from sky to ground
Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm
Time passed has shown shadows of where my shoulder
That has goes on, movement of my desires
Lost like a storm, cast out and wished into
A well with no sound, you'll answer at the end
When the fires burn and from sky to ground
Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm
When the fires burn and from sky to ground
Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm
When the fires burn and from sky to ground
Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm
When the fires burn and from sky to ground
Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm
When the fires burn and from sky to ground
Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm
When the fires burn and from sky to ground
Swing my weight around, begin the windstorm

Eu também, hehe.
@@WhovianRanger42 lembra muito Cocteau Twins

Whoa
So sad :( Thank you for changing my life with your music. RIP Benjamin. #fuckcancer
I could watch this over and over all day. Anyone know who directed this? Also, does the symbol have any meaning?
The best RUclips channel. keep it up!
does anybody know the name of the actor who plays the spinning guy?
RIP Ben
RIP Ben.
Take care, Ben.
spectacular
@j0ey96 Can't post the link, but just go to the Stereogum website and search SVIIB Progress Report :)
2:18 I really wanna know what that crazy symbol means!
In their Amoeba interview he said it just represents the band
@@jeffcarey4285 Thank you!
@Shipgate Yeah. I did some digging and found what it means. Pretty cool.
🔥🔥RIP Ben

It's a pitty that Claudia has left the group. They're so talented!
The guy in front of the washing and dryer machine is he from DIIV.
what a brilliant, deeply insightful critical comment.
omg rip :( sadness
COCTEAU TWINS IS BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kinda weird how the guy and the kid do actually look alike :D

@samno9 Esse video é muito massa meu :) Ainda bem que a MTV passa vídeos que realmente interessam :D
@keraia2027 where can i see this picture
Totally
Is that Claudia towards the end?
@HMG5588 this is a good example of what i teach my philosophy students that you cannot argue with someone so closed minded and set on something, they are to far gone
@apollothemighty I doubt very much that they make their own videos.....
@juanp756 touché.
I miss the harmonies from the other twin.
Back in 1991
@HMG5588 good 10 day prediction there!!!!!
very Lush esque vocally,
First thought, Is this english.....? Second thought, yeup and I like it.
@HMG5588 I'm not sure which Bible you are reading, but the one on my shelf acutally states that no man knows the time or the day when the world will end. You need to re-read your scripture, if you've read it at all.
@mygodDYLAN1 What is the Bible???
LOVE
Religious debate over.
am i the only one who wonders how long it'll take for this to get sampled in a rap song? seriously, the drum track at 2:53...
i can see this song on skins :)
Please don't give up honey. I'm a Trans Woman and your music gives me hope to keep living in this sht world. Please don't leave us. I love you!
The juxtaposition of the audio-visual work above and the dialogue below is extreme.
They seem awfully hipster-ish, but I can't help but like their songs.
I am so angry and sad
Beautiful person
Gone too soon wtf :(
Well got damn.What a comment thread
can't believe Ben is dead...
he looks like a jonas brother. o.o
just a little bit though.
I'm sure if there is a God and he is powerful enough to create everything then I guess it is safe to imagine that he is able to understand physics and science on a level of building blocks. Like a child with Legos. We love to act as if science disproves a God but it is the argument. Who created everything? Including the building blocks. It begs the question.
