Levitation is about two teenage girls who died in a tragic train accident, where the girls were hanging out exploring these train tracks just as a train derailed and killed them. The song title and lyrics reference some tweets that they made just prior to their deaths. One tweet was a photo of their feet hanging off of a ledge with the caption saying “levitate”
This whole album literally Saved My Life, during a dark time. The Beauty and Atmosphere of Depression Cherry is special, and I just thank You Beach House, for coming into my life, at the right time, your music has healed me and helped me keep my mental struggles at bay, with your music ❤ Stay Strong 🙏
i would really want to see a reaction to Plastic Beach by Gorillaz from you. One of the best produced, playful, melancholic, creative and beautiful albums I've ever heard. Still can't really get enough of it, even after spending like 5k minutes with it, this year alone😅
Big fan of the channel. I have a few recommendations: Fleet Foxes - Self Titled Album Crystal Castles - III Death's Dynamic Shroud - Faith in Persona No Now - Clarence Clarity Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas St Vincent - Strange Mercy J Dilla - Donuts
A bit of a “soothing” album sorta: A I A: Alien Observer by Grouper. I’ve heard many different things from many different people. Some say it’s beautiful and soothing. Others say is emotionally devastating. Others are full on startled by it. It’s my #1 all time fav and I’d love to hear what you have to say.
If you're continuing with Beach House, Teen Dream is the other "classic" album you have to hit. Two other recommendations I think you'll enjoy, based on other reactions of yours: Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People (or their self-titled) M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming
Bon Iver - Bon Iver, Bon Iver Bon Iver - 22, A Million Brand New - The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me Death Cab For Cutie - Transstlanticism Antlers, The - Hospice Mountain Goats, The - The Sunset Tree Mountain Goats, The - Tallahassee Les Rallizes Denudes - ’77 Live Hum - You’d Prefer An Astronaut Damien Rice - O Damien Rice - 9 Bright Eyes - I’m Wide Awake, Its Morning Meatloaf - Bat Out Of Hell Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica The Microphones - Mount Eerie Turnstile - Glow On My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
i know they have so many albums but 7 and once twice melody are must listens 😩 the way they grew into their sound so well and added so much more instrumental complexity is astoundinggggg. like they never miss just get better and better
Would love to see a cover from the band Brand New. Incredibly influential in the mid 2000's emo scene, and their sound varies greatly from album to album covering everything from pop-punk to experimental hardcore. Great albums by them to start off would be Deja Entendu and The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me. The latter I consider to be my favorite album of all time.
Sum reacs 4 u (pls do one of these soon 😢😢) Title Fight - Floral Green Alex G - DSU Cap’n Jazz - Analphabetapothology Bark Psychosis - Hex Red House Painters - Down Colorful Hill
So happy you reacted to this album. i loveeeeee beach house. my favorite albums are once twice melody, depression cherry, and 7. Pleaseeee if you could do a reaction to 7 or once twice melody i would love that.
Love this album so much, great reaction! Should definitely listen to some Cocteau Twins, it's amazing how much Beach House were inspired by them. Definitely "Treasure" or "Heaven or Las Vegas"
You should totally do geese. Both of their albums are genuinely stunning for a band just starting out, I have a feeling they’re going to be pretty important as this decade goes on in indie music. 3D country is their most celebrated by far, but pick any of the two.
If I may suggest. Donuts by J Dilla some legendary instrumental hip hop with banger after banger I feel like the track "Don't Cry" will hit you like a truck.
Some recommendations: The Wrens - The Meadowlands Self - Subliminal Plastic Motives Bark Psychosis - Codename: Dustsucker Bark Psychosis - Hex Great as always
Thanks a lot for this - Beach House have a unique sound and vibe, I love It. And I love *Suede* for the same reason, especially their *Dog Man Star* album 🤩 Enjoy your Friday & weekend!
this album is my life album. like, if i ever had a movie about my life and i had to choose a soundtrack, i’d make it this album. my favorite thing is searching the occasional reaction video of it just to see if other people feel the same spark(s) (no pun intended) that i did and still very much do. PPP is by far the song that will forever alter my mood-- i love that song so much. as soon as i saw you melt into the song when it first started i knew you felt what i felt too. thank you for giving this album justice! i saw them perform it live a few years back and i once again finally got the feeling of re-listening to it for the first time. your depictions of the songs were beautiful and your level of understanding of what the songs are about go above and beyond. i’m happy you were touched by this masterpiece.
as someone who has been playing this album on repeat all day long for the last month since I found it I've been looking for someone to talk to and express my love for this album with. I watched Anthony fantanos reaction video and it was so sick and twisted and evil. he was so wrong about it. now ive watched your video and your reaction had me laughing out loud and screaming "EXACTLLLYYYYY". you JUST GET ITTTTTT. i loved ur reactions and appreciation so much. new sub :)
While i'm not an avid listener of beach hous, everytime i hear a song by them i start floating. It's starting to hurt my ankles landing after the songs. Suggestion (Omg no way suggestion???): SOAD - Hypnotize/Mezmerize
I swear I’m in a different world when I hear this album thanks for reviving it Smags. Allso I just noticed you haven’t done any more Ween records 😢you gotta do more especially since your new fav album is Quebec. white pepper and chocolate and cheese are both rely good albums pleaseeeee do one I would love to see more Thanks Smags. ❤️
PPP is one of my favourite songs of all time. Happy to see you doing this one! Forgive me if this has been commented before, I've got to recommend either of The Brave Little Abacus's albums. My personal favourite is Masked Dancers but both are fantastic.
Not sure why you haven't done Psychocandy yet by The Jesus and Mary Chain. If you like the shoegaze genre so much they are credited with starting it all.
Depression Cherry is one of my absolute favorites!! I love watching someone react to all my favorites. Also, I would love to recommend Breakfast in America by Supertramp.
Hey dude 🙂. I would really like you to react to ARORA’s infections of a different kind EP. It’s the body of work that really made me love music and it would mean a lot to see your reaction to it ! Take care

Now you gotta do Teen Dream. Probably my personal favorite Beach House album and still keeping with those dreamy vibes
Always gonna be their best
Teen Dream gang
I also really like their newest album, Once Twice Melody. It has a very unique sound to it that I honestly can't describe. It's just perfect.
This whole album literally Saved My Life, during a dark time. The Beauty and Atmosphere of Depression Cherry is special, and I just thank You Beach House, for coming into my life, at the right time, your music has healed me and helped me keep my mental struggles at bay, with your music ❤
Stay Strong 🙏
i would really want to see a reaction to Plastic Beach by Gorillaz from you.
One of the best produced, playful, melancholic, creative and beautiful albums I've ever heard.
Still can't really get enough of it, even after spending like 5k minutes with it, this year alone😅
2nd this Plastic Beach is an all-time great
3rd, Plastic Beach is fantastic
You have to do their album "7"
Great video! :)
this record is so eternal sounding it’s amazing
Big fan of the channel. I have a few recommendations:
Fleet Foxes - Self Titled Album
Crystal Castles - III
Death's Dynamic Shroud - Faith in Persona
No Now - Clarence Clarity
Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
St Vincent - Strange Mercy
J Dilla - Donuts
I would love to see a cocteau twins reaction
Fleet Foxes is essential autumn/winter listening.
TEEN DREAM is their best work in my HUMBLE opinion 😉
And you are absolutely right
dude I love your reactions, the way you feel it.. I would recommend you Teen dream, my favourite. greetins from a little city in argentina ✨
Soooo beautiful, their whole discography
You have to do once twice melody, idk how but they improved the production even more, it’s perfect
love your reviews man!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i would recommend to you 22, a million by Bon Iver and The Ooz by King Krule as well!
A bit of a “soothing” album sorta: A I A: Alien Observer by Grouper. I’ve heard many different things from many different people. Some say it’s beautiful and soothing. Others say is emotionally devastating. Others are full on startled by it. It’s my #1 all time fav and I’d love to hear what you have to say.
"Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill" by Grouper is also really great.
@@k1d666 everything Liz Harris touches is great
this would be an amazing video especially if he does it outside
this man still hasn’t reacted to Brand New, i haven’t high fived my friends in days
#NoHighFives4MyFriendsUntilSmagsReactsToBrandNew
If you're continuing with Beach House, Teen Dream is the other "classic" album you have to hit.
Two other recommendations I think you'll enjoy, based on other reactions of yours:
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People (or their self-titled)
M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming
If you want more shoegaze in their songs, listen to 7. That's their most shoegaze album.
Its my 2nd favourite bh album after this one
fav

YOU SHOULD LISTENNNN TO BILLY JOEL NEXT 🙏🙏🙏
Would love to see a cover from the band Brand New. Incredibly influential in the mid 2000's emo scene, and their sound varies greatly from album to album covering everything from pop-punk to experimental hardcore. Great albums by them to start off would be Deja Entendu and The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me. The latter I consider to be my favorite album of all time.

Any Bright Eyes would be dope!
The consistency is ridiculous 🐐
Hope you react to once twice melody cuz the 80s like vibes are amazing,l and you would definitely enjoy them.:)
another day another W
You should check out DIIV. Lots of indie, dreamy goodness.
Panda Bear & Sonic Boom - Reset
Teen Dream next? Also posthumous Jeff Buckley album is actually good, u would like
Love this album so much, great reaction! Should definitely listen to some Cocteau Twins, it's amazing how much Beach House were inspired by them. Definitely "Treasure" or "Heaven or Las Vegas"
PLEASE REACT TO ONCE TWICE MELODY!!!!
Teen Dream is probably a good one to do next. Or Once Twice Melody but that album is massive you might have to do it in two parts or something
Shout out space song (LISTEN TO GILES COREY ❗️❗️❗️)
My favorite album of all the time ❤
same bro
PPP and Days of Candy are 2 of the best in their catalogue IMO
Beach House needs to make a Christmas album
Devotion kinda sounds like it
Listen to Home Again if you haven't yet
Thought you wrote christian album. I was thinking about Christian music after that last song lol
@@michaelmota4602 Christmas is Christian though. It's literally a celebration of the birth of Christ.
U gotta do Third eye blinds - self titled!
Also Carti samples sparks on whole lotta red. And Kendrick samples beach house on money trees
Great video, I adore this album.
Once Twice Melody is another amazing listen, and has better “reaction” material in terms of it being higher energy 👀
beautiful songs
Nice try fed
Goat youtuber. You gotta hear Lil Ugly Mane - Volcanic Bird Enemy
Please check out High Violet by The National and The Joshua Tree U2
You should totally do geese. Both of their albums are genuinely stunning for a band just starting out, I have a feeling they’re going to be pretty important as this decade goes on in indie music. 3D country is their most celebrated by far, but pick any of the two.
THANK U SO MUCH 4 this smag man SMAGSSSS

I highly recommend you listen to Cigarettes After Sex there just like Beach House highly recommended it.
this album is my life album. like, if i ever had a movie about my life and i had to choose a soundtrack, i’d make it this album. my favorite thing is searching the occasional reaction video of it just to see if other people feel the same spark(s) (no pun intended) that i did and still very much do.

I love Beach House. Try reacting to Suede’s self titled debut. Going to annoy you in the comments until you react to it😀
Not sure why you haven't done Psychocandy yet by The Jesus and Mary Chain. If you like the shoegaze genre so much they are credited with starting it all.
Depression Cherry is one of my absolute favorites!! I love watching someone react to all my favorites. Also, I would love to recommend Breakfast in America by Supertramp.
THANK YOU SMAGS 🙏🙏🙏
MADVILLAINY BY MF DOOM AND MADLIB! 🔥 Yes, it was necessary to yell that one.
Hey dude 🙂.
I would really like you to react to ARORA’s infections of a different kind EP.
It’s the body of work that really made me love music and it would mean a lot to see your reaction to it !
Take care
