Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh
Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh
White cliffs coming to a raging sea
Riptideâ€™s gonna push the life of me
Iâ€™m gonna miss you
Iâ€™m gonna miss you
When youâ€™re gone

Beachy Head
Theyâ€™re not dead
They saw the waves below
Thatâ€™s no way to go

White cliffs coming to a raging sea
Riptideâ€™s gonna push the life of me
Iâ€™m gonna miss you
Iâ€™m gonna miss you
Iâ€™m gonna miss you
When youâ€™re gone

Beachy Head
Theyâ€™re not dead
They saw the waves below
Thatâ€™s no way to go

The amount of times that I've gone to Beachy Head in the dead of night or the early hours just to stand on the edge and look over the sea or up at the stars and down on to Eastbourne. It's one of my favourite contemplantive spaces. It's a perfect illustration of nature's simultaneous macabre and picturesque beauty. There's also a shitty pub.

@chloedayglo I know EXACTLY what you mean!! Get angry at it... I am so tired of all the commenting negativity just to sound off and appear clever! Its exasperating! I know this was an old post for you but just saw it now and I wanted to say you were not alone. Cool song btw... ;-)

Indie and hipster have lost their meanings... All I know is I heart noise pop

like 'em a lot. They 're quite good. Reminds me, Brits, mid 90's

David Hermens

@chloedayglo this video is super boring, just them standing/laying around obviously dressed like hipsters.. so in a sense it is super indie.. but your right the music is amazing and this lame video shouldn't take away from it

Stop looking at the people/fashion, and listen to the music. They might be assholes for all I know, but I like what I'm hearing.

GriefTourist

goodbye cruel world i'm leaving today

@chloedayglo idk where your response went but anyways I could care less about music videos, I would prefer them to show maybe old footage of people surfing or something idgaf this just bored me and they seem very apathetic

@fucketaboutit I'm poor, working class family with loads a few unemployed members, I haven't bought clothes in ages (and no, that's not a few months, more like three or four years), and I barely make it to end of the month these days, don't think this music is just for the rich dude, but who cares...

hahah geez....just realized "beachy head" is about the beachy head cliffs, the most notorious spot for suicides in england. "im gonna miss you when youre gone" kind of dark! but this song still rules.

What the hell is wrong with more than one band with this sound. They have the exact same right to choose their sound as all the top 40 acts. Who cares if their are nine million surf pop bands as long as the songs make the fans feel great? Just let the people have the fucking sound they wanna have.

Krisanna Marie

Markus Renard yaaaas true that

Veronica Falls were such a great band... all four members were so great at making really good music. Shall be one of these people who will always listen to their music (however length of time passes by) as around the same age/generation to them. Utmost respect to them in their legacy of music :)

jamsee1

@Christian M. Lombardo Discovered them after you and happen to be British! Shows how underrated they were. Also am with you, on them being favourites and have listened to both albums, B-Sides (the lot) and they're top draw! Also have man crush on her, so cute and have already checked out her solo work. Very good looking woman, also around the same age to myself as were the band lol and very talented musicians all round. The band deserves a lot of respect from the world :)

Discovered them in 2016. One of my favorites of all time. Bought both of their albums. I love them all, but I have the biggest crush on the lead singer! Check out Patience - White of an Eye.

@lostit2bostik Are we listening to the same song? Maybe I'm encapsulated by how dark this song actually is...Joe Meek would have been proud of this song.

Fast N Bulbous

Its a good song, but enough songs about beaches and oceans indie people!

MISTERASMODEUS

I like it...I dont like Hipster...i dont like anything that creates mindless followers.....find a tree in the forest...

pistolpimp36

To all the naysayers,this is a good song ; plain and simple.It's catchy as hell ; I'll admit to that , and that is a pop sensibility.It probably sounds too mainstream for you. So , you are , in a way , more of a hater than any hipster I've ever met. Congratulations ,you have topped hipsters in the hate department. Good Job. *claps hands*

bren dawg

Why must the term hipster be taken as negative? I like this song, and if that makes me a hipster, then fuck it! I can give a shit.

indie music at the moment is reinventing the 60's sound, but the big wave is still early 60's beach boys sounds. this sound here mirrors the later 60's. give it another 6 months and this song will be in the pocket.

Dean D

aaaaahahaha. You need a much better example then Kpop. If we are going to debate "music with substance", kpop would be at the bottom of that list. Right next to Kids Bop.

NeonFoxLetsPlays

indie: short form of "independent". used to describe independence from major commercial record labels or their subsidiaries, and an autonomous, DIY approach to recording and publishing. how can something be "too indie"? i don't think the word is supposed to be used as a comparative. or a superlative for that matter.

MusicallyFlawless

If I mute it the pictures aren't that bad...

william la morte

this is the best, new original sounding stuff i've heard in awhile. it's not like the other hipster indie bands at all. the harmonies are very beach boys/mama and the papa's-esque. i've fallen in love with the new album... o, and graveyards!

polz7

Yes, definitely indie, which gathering from the comments below is bad? Ok let's all go listen to some hardcore gangster rap instead, I hear all kinds good things about that. On a serious note, this band is great and are actually pretty good live, unlike most bands.

Bobby K

Yeh there hipsters , so what?

TheFatalitiesTV

People always have such superficial reasons for not liking music. I honestly don't give a shit if it's "hipster" or not, I don't even know what hipster means and I don't want to. I'd rather have something fun to sing along with than worry about what the band fucking looks like.

day yrebud

jolly jolly good! the girls are cats and the boys are beautiful. and the music, thats terrible but. not really, spiffing.

Voo-Doom53

Have a read a few posts on this, blimey some folk don't like Hipsters !!!!, are they dangerous or something ?. Anyway the song is great and anything connected with Woodie Taylor in the studio is alright by me , now i'm off to find some hipster clothes !

I said I like Hipster music I never said I dress up like a tool & mope outside of coffee shops like a loser

electricbastards

WTF is a hipster, anyway? Indie? Please...that term lost all relevance sometime in the 90's...it used to be short for "independent," which was a throw back to the days when there actually *was* a music industry. Don't waste your time on such meaningless nonsense. Just listen to music.
