I read somewhere that the Slowdive fanbase is getting younger and younger. That's a great testament to how their music connects with people, especially younger people who often feel things very deeply indeed. I know when I was in my teens and early 20s, my emotions were all over the place. Slowdive calmed my soul back then in the early 90s and they still do, now that I am 52 years old. I love the fact the band are just getting more and more popular. Bravo to them!

So you don’t need any to enjoy it. Drugs can give life a very intense feeling, exactly like this music does. Long time I thought drugs show us something new. So wrong, they show us something that’s already in us, allow us maybe a different perspective or intense feelings. But my experiences have shown that good music can make you feel as vivid/free/euphoric as on drugs. Life is not only emotional, dreamy, crazy with drugs. We have those feelings in us, with or without drugs… would be sad if not

Slowdive's comeback ranks as one of the best in music history. They struggled to find an audience in the 90s, were basically driven out of the business by the music press, yet 30 years later they are now a top ten band across Europe!!

Total rubbish. They didn’t fail to find an audience in the 90s. The British music press gave them plenty of gushing praise, which they weren’t entitled to an unending supply of. And they’re not a top ten band according to any metric. That said, you do look like the most unlikely Slowdive fan. So well done for that.

This video is amazing, I interpret it as like, how people come into our lives and we "drive" them through our experiences which is our lives, we get a closeup of the faces of the people in the back seat of the bikes, you can see their expressions and how it all might not have turned out good with the "driver", one of them is even crying. You can tell the driver's face is of a tired person, representing the weight of carrying with all of that, we can see one scene where they're struggling with bottles, a skull, all of their experiences and emotions, going to one place to another with them. Sometimes, it's too much of a burden for us. We need someone to drive us to where we need to be, to help us ease the weight of all, and that's a big part of being human. That's why the smile at the end is so important. The driver is able to feel relaxed for once. Sometimes we need that in our lives, when we can't handle it all. I love Slowdive so much, I have been listening to them since I was 14 and they've help me relax and deal with emotions during my youth, I am so happy that they're still around and bringing us so much, I cant be more thrilled to feel again their sounds.

a dreamy and somewhat cryptic song that seems to explore the theme of seeking fulfillment in new experiences and the impact of fleeting moments ... the song starts with the singer acknowledging the affirmation of being the "best thing" to someone, yet questioning if that is truly what they need ... this ambivalent sentiment is characterized by the chorus repeating the phrase "born desert sun" multiple times, which could represent the transience and warmth of a fleeting moment ... the second verse introduces the idea of leaving behind previous struggles and "ghosts" to start anew in a car ... however, the singer questions what is truly necessary for a fresh start, and whether "living with the truth" is enough ... the song seems to acknowledge that sometimes the "new thing" or "kisses" might be enough to provide temporary satisfaction, but it is unclear whether this will truly lead to a fulfilling and lasting sense of happiness .... overall, "Kisses" seems to be an introspective exploration of the fleeting nature of happiness and the search for fulfillment in new experiences, all set to the dreamy and atmospheric soundscapes that Slowdive is known for ...

I love this song and video so much. It’s like a movie condensed into a dreamy four minutes. You’re immediately invested in the characters and need to know more about them, their backgrounds, and how they are connected. The subtle androgyny of the blonde motorcycle driver adds to the mystery. We see them staring wistfully at the young man standing in the water. And in the shadows while the gorgeous brunette passenger who has wrapped them in a hard embrace while on the bike cavorts with the fire-eater. And how does the ending figure in? Seemingly they are sleeping on the driver’s shoulder then the gentle hand on his and his slight grin. I need to know more, and at the same time love the mystery of not knowing. The entire vibe is perfection.

And this note of nostalgia for the past and youth has always hurt me in a good way. But today it was as if they told me that I was still alive. And it makes me feel better.

Kisses is probably the word I think of when I hear Slowdive, really sweet, mellow and tender music, almost surreal.

Such a bright NOSTALGIC melody...... I love it in every way......

Few bands like Slowdive hit majestic peaks, such as this, consistently.

30+years and still making music we fall in love with 💕💕

Perhaps the greatest music video of all time -

First song i’ve heard from them. I really like that ethereal yet modern vibe it has

listen to the entire souvlaki album.

2:41 I close my eyes and my mind crosses to another dimension, thanks to Slowdive ❤

the music, the visuals, the atmosphere, everything about this is pushing me into romanticizing my melancholic solitude of unrequited love, unfulfilled dreams, denied feelings, pieces of broken heart in the most comforting way slowdive truly is one of the most evocative & enchanting band to exist always a pleasure to listen to their piece of arts

Heavenly vocals, beautiful music and lyrical, visual perfection 🌹🎶🌹

The editing at 1:30 is top-class. A perfect sequence of shots, telling the full story.

would you be willing to briefly explain the story to me? is the person with short blonde hair in a relationship with all these people at once so they feel sad and then pick one they want to truly love and stay with at the end? im confused but i still think it's a dreamy video. anyways, thanks!

This came into my feed after a harrowing weekend struggling with familial dysfunction, trauma, and psych wards. Thank you for pulling me back to feeling again.

Love how danceable this is yet retains that wistful, almost melancholy feel that Slowdive has perfected.

the Cocteau Twins influence is infectious, but this is clearly something different and unique in its own right. absolutely love it.

neil halstead stated in a podcast interview on jan 24th that they took a lot of inspiration from the cure for this record (some might say they did for alot of their earlier work as well lol)

Great music appeals to every generation, timeless, sublime. Every generation can create great music. Someone had to step up in this musical desert of seemingly endless mediocrity. Go old people!!

What a wonderful tune this is while riding on the bus home late at night 🤗❤️

I always get chills the first time hearing a new Slowdive song. Beautiful 🖤

Definitely my just ending summer song. It fits perfectly and I’m glad this is the tune that is gonna give so good memories every time I’m gonna listen to it. I wish all of you what I experienced in the last two weeks.

Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Slowdive, look them up 🙂

Utterly beautiful tune, we don’t get many in this day & age. Slow dive are actually getting better & better!!!

Rachel and Neil, the 90s seem like a long time ago, I was a teenager back then listening to your music on cassette tapes. You guys (and Christian and Simon, and also Nick) have been an inspiration over the years... Mojave 3. Minor Victories. The Zephyrs... Don't ever stop.

Some bands never go out of style.

Can't stop replaying the video. It's haunting and I have no idea why. Well done

We're crying... What a song, what a film, what a story, what a city, what guitars, what a band, what poetry! "Living for the new thing. Sometimes the new won't do." 💜

It doesn't sound like When The Sun Hits at all to me. Except for the fact that it is shoegaze, but then all their songs sound like When The Sun Hits.

@@elusory3735 To be precise, this song is not even shoegaze. More like triphop/lofi/dreampop And yes, to be precisely correct, this song is mixture of Souvlaki (1993) + Slowdive (2017)

This song helped me so much during the end of this year, I had gone through so much in a matter of a year, when I came across this song I met this person that changed me entirely, her smile brang something new to me, I truly never felt happy with someone I never even met before, I had this song on replay all the time when I thought of her, and when my emotions were all over the place, I learned to be a better person for her and me.

The visuals for this video is 110% my aesthetic i just wish i had freinds that had the same aesthetic, living in the south its hard to find ppl that do

this band is utter and complete perfection.

finally you guys are back I remember your last album called slowdive and I'm still in 2nd grade of high school, and now I'm 23 years old and you guys are back with your latest single and your latest album. i love you slowdive from Indonesia ❤

I dont understand how i was a child of the 80s and teen of the 90s and just recently discovered Slow Dive....i cant get enough of their music....i guess i listened to too much grunge and metallica and beastie boys and missed out..but i am a fan for life now
