“Take Care” by Beach House, from Teen Dream
The last song on each Beach House album has this amazing depth and clarity that makes me forever enamored. Although I love the albums as a whole, there is something specific about their closing tracks. Each one appears to be built on these repetitive last lines that are impossible to forget. The lyrical content is simple enough but every time I listen to one of them, I can’t help but feel moved, certainly more moved than the rest of the songs on the albums. Each album seems to tell a chapter of one continuous story, and as the last song fades out (and it always fades out), I anticipate the next album, ready to consume the next part of the narrative. The fade out feels like a cliffhanger, telling the listener that what they’ve experienced is complete in itself, but there is more to understand, more to uncover and appreciate.
This one is especially poignant. It is woozy and completely evocative. Listening to it makes you feel young, romantic, and contented; you are hopeful, yet wistful, for the next step.
