+noMoreCorporateBS I really don't understand the devoid of meaning, the scenes are full of meaning, it demonstrate a feeling of stagnation, like when we look to the computer screen and we don't know what to do after saw all the news of the day in our facebook timeline, every scene show us normal actions that we do nowadays, the action turns down and the thoughts gain space. Furthermore, listen to the vibration of the voice of the singer, is calm and sad, it's clearly a demostration of being tired with the things. Finally, the lyrics says: "I wait for it to come, I am so patient, and when it really does, I let it have me whole" and the chorus "I wanna be apart of it all". It's the singer saying that he waits for the moment that the things will happens, I personally identify myself with it, this for me is obviously full of meaning. btw, the song/vid are amazing.
+noMoreCorporateBS you have no idea, have you even listened to their earlier work? devoid of meaning? did you even listen to the words? its about the dichotomy of a loner/group of loners wanting acceptance whilst still in their isolation. the video perfectly captures the essence of the song. aaron maine is a genius, and when the world sees him for who he is, you are going to feel like such a moron for what you just said. you're just a fuckin outsider. educate yourself before trash-talking timeless works of art.
noMoreCorporateBS first of all, i want to apologise for my earlier comment, I'm just a really big fan and i took offence where i shouldn't have. "his writing doesn't convey that he truly FEELS the pain nor does it explore the depths and manifestations of it." how is that a reason to think any less of someones writing? the fact that he does or does not convey a particular feeling cannot possibly take away from his work, that just doesn't make any sense. furthermore, you don't gotta have a massive vocabulary or write all flashy to be profound. thats why i think aaron's lyrics are so characteristic. "What does a basketball in a bathtub, jars of milk, and a bunch of 20 somethings dressed like they're in a shoot for the Zara 2015 Fall lookbook have to do with the song?" i think a basketball in a swimming pool/bathtub/waterbody is the theme they're going for with this album. it's the album cover. that shot is probably just a subliminal reinforcement of the fact. about the milk and clothes- its art. you don't need to be able to justify or explain it in point form to someone. i think thats kinda how art works. you're in the right everywhere else i was just being a dick, my bad. but i really do think aaron is a remarkable songwriter and a living legend. in all honesty, I'm a bigger fan of his earlier work than the two new singles, and i was referring to that when i said "timeless works of art". I'm really eager to see what direction he's headed in with this album. seems like its more pop. i think this song may just be about him wanting to be accepted into the mainstream while also securing acceptance from his cult following for desiring so.
Extraordinary and Incredible. The outro of this video is possibly THE most beautiful of any video ever made, so pretty with the flowers and the band sitting like mannequins in gorgeous structure with incredible furnishings
Porches!! Thank you!! I may be a year behind, but it's always so fresh & tasty when discovering such lush dream swirl sounds like this... String out on Porches.. Ordering physical copies NOW
LYRICS We try to feel it out I leave the house And now my body moves It is so physical It's got me so awake The darkness hanging Black water by my side I will go out tonight 'Cause I wanna be apart I wanna be a part I wanna be a part Of it all I will wait for it to come I am so patient And when it really does I'll let it have me whole 'Cause I wanna be apart I wanna be a part I wanna be a part Of it all
NO LIE, I FOUND THIS SONG BECAUSE I HAD A DREAM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NITE THAT I WAS WRITING THE WORD POOL OVER AND OVER, I WOKE UP AROUND 2am AND I JUST TYPED POOL IN MY ITUNES AND THIS SONG CAME UP. NOW MY NEW FAVORITE GROUP.
I love the vibes this songs gives. It’s like 70’s but indie as well. Anyone know any songs similar to this? Or a specific genre? Drop in the comments please thankss
Try: TK from Ling tosite sigure. His Flowering album: phase to phrase, haze, Abnormal trick, and film A moment. His Fantastic Magic album: Spiral Parade, Dramatic Slow Motion (album version), kalei de scope, and an artist. These have an Indie Electronica sense that is hard to ignore.
I've listened to porches for years and after hearing this and their new stuff I just didn't like it at all. Now after a couple months I've come back and listened to this again and I absolutely love it. Why does music do that
Porches will be on a tour of the USA in Spring 2016. 31 Cities all over this great land. Get your tickets!! Show cities and dates can be found here: www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2015/11/porches_announc.html
This is the video and song that made me fall in love with Porches. 5 years later I am freaking out that I am going to see him in LA in April.
A treasure that not a lot of people know.
It's just so good. Looking forward to see you guys in Istanbul, Turkey :)
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS ALBUM
Here on the 6 year anniversary, still jammin' to this amazing melody. Thank you BIRP for all your gifts or I'd never heard this.
This one of the greatest songs ever created
Desde que escuche "car" no pude parar de seguirlos, me encanta su musica es muy relajante, saludos desde México :)
No estas solo compa
why so much hate ?? this song is the best thing i heard in a minute

+Kiss 1o8 because /mu/ and pitchfork readers dont like bland ass pop

Porches!! Thank you!! I may be a year behind, but it's always so fresh & tasty when discovering such lush dream swirl sounds like this... String out on Porches.. Ordering physical copies
NOW
So elegant and smooth with a deep and beautiful meaning
another amazing single.
I guess I owe Pitchfork a thank you. Have listened to no other song than this for two days now. I might have a problem!!
same here !
Signed copy of pool has to be one of my proudest possessions - obtained from a fantastic show and after-show gathering years ago :)
LYRICS
We try to feel it out
I leave the house
And now my body moves
It is so physical
It's got me so awake
The darkness hanging
Black water by my side
I will go out tonight
'Cause I wanna be apart
I wanna be a part
I wanna be a part
Of it all
I will wait for it to come
I am so patient
And when it really does
I'll let it have me whole
'Cause I wanna be apart
I wanna be a part
I wanna be a part
Of it all
Thanks!
The chokehold this song still has on me… ❤
one of my favorite songs and now albums of the year so far

literally best song!!! xx
Album of the year so far.

Thank you Porches ❤
idk how people are disliking this song lol
+Justin Munoz pitchfork and /mu/
+Misha Ryland pitchfork wasn't hard on them imo
+Justin Munoz Pitchfork gave this album Best New Music, how were they hard on them at all?
basically some pitchfork fans naturally dislike current pop stuff pitchfork hypes. but yeah it's mainly /mu/
plus, there are people who just aren't interested in this stuff and watch the video to see how it was after the glowing review from Pitchfork
Beautiful
this is a perfect song
saw them open for Alex G a couple days.....my new favorite band. mind blown
Very Kubrickesque video. Love Porches.
holy cow.. this is my JAM

Those synths at the end...great sounds

That last chord progression kills me every time 😢
So great song

Published on 3 Sep 2016
I love this video more than I love myself
This song makes me wonder, do I want to be a part of nothing or a part of everything?
remember when porches invented mannequin challenge
PRESTIGE!!!! AND THOSE DRUM SOUNDSSSSSS!!!!!!
i cant stop :'(
nice
instead of leaving the house, i stay in and listen to these
Gostei.
I've listened to porches for years and after hearing this and their new stuff I just didn't like it at all. Now after a couple months I've come back and listened to this again and I absolutely love it. Why does music do that
Bipolarity kicks in anytime lol
it's nice
What is that main synth sound and melody reminding me of?
+moda fashions
Maybe Miasma Sky - Baths?
NEED ON SPOTIFY
Christ I cannot wait for this album
this is a hot, hot track
come to La Oroya Perú !!!
there's a strange dissonance in the way the voice fits the background melody. somehow it works
Chorus sounds a bit like Alvvays. Good shit. Love when indie pop sounds like this.
Maya😍
Really enjoyed this. Love that it's different from irrational music out there. Can't wait for more.
classy
I'd love a video for underwater
car is their best song
Porches will be on a tour of the USA in Spring 2016.

My favourite song though
"...doubt comes before the fall."
,dan'
This depressing song makes me undepressed.
why the dislikes?
+shinypinecone vevo
+shinypinecone I don't get it either
+shinypinecone the milk bottles are filled unevenly
+H. Basri Biberoğlu hahahahahaha!
+shinypinecone This is really puzzling me too...
If Porches teamed up with Adrian Lux they would make a fucking masterpiece of an House Album.
