Deerhunter - Desire Lines Lyrics

i've been listening to this song every day for a month and gladly got to watch the view count climb past 2 million. RAAAAAAD \m/

why am i staring at a midget in a wedding.......dress?...over and oveer?

9 years later and this shit hits harder than ever

i guess im the asshole becuz here i am loving the chorus over and over, apparently the outro is where its at...ill have to listen i guess....

Reminds me of my high school days. My best friend showed me this band and we'd drive around our hometown listening to it. Later in college we both got to meet them all after a show.

The outro is like the human brain experiencing 80 years of life in the 4/5 minutes of consciousness before death

Oh, when you were young and your excitement showed
But as time goes by is it outgrown?
Is that the way things go? Forever reaching for the gold
Forever fading black and comes up cold
Walking free, oh, come with me, oh
Far away, oh, everyday, oh
Walking free, oh, come with me, oh
Far away, oh, everyday, oh
When you were young, you never knew which way you'd go
What once was grace now undertows
Well everyday do what you can, and if you let them turn you 'round
Whatever goes up must come down
Walking free, oh, come with me, oh
Far away, oh, everyday, oh
Walking free, oh, come with me, oh
Far away, oh, everyday, oh

walkingg freeee owooohoooo, come with meeee owoooohoooooo

This isn't a Lush cover?

No,but also wonderful song and band

overrated... not sorry!

petrhav must be some good crack you’re on

That riff just doesn't quit...

after years of wondering why bradford cox sounds different on this song i learned it's sung by the guitar player (lockett pundt if I'm not mistaken)

Markus Sentic Happened the same to me. I felt stupid.

Another BANGIN' outro...even has its own video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1LXpnyh3Hk

Seen these guys and bunch and am never disappointed. Brad is a super sweet guy. LOVE YOU!

Ah, the music of my youth

The outro is audio bliss.

into is the outro, song is the outro, outro is existence. Goodbye embodied state, hello transcendence. Oh wo oh.

I met bradford cox and his band once outside of the crescent ballroom in phx after a show, what a cool night that was. Great performance too!

This used to be my favourite song when I was 12.

Deerhunters always bring me here.

Why is the out to on this song so good? Is it the notes the speed tempo shaker percussion? Why do I slip into an existential rumination on every thing that's gone right in my life every time I hear it?

Saw the band in Budapest in A 38 it was on the boat! So awesome

Saw the band in Budapest in A 38 it was on the boat! So awesome

solo has the same guitar notes progression as needles in the camel's eye by eno. both fine songs

Só os descobri recentemente, com o álbum de 2019, mas acho-os na verdade excelentes. Recomendo-os a todos os apreciadores de The War on Drugs, Kurt Vile, Sharon Van Etten entre outros.

Love the outro - it owes a lot to Brian Eno (Listen to Needle in the Camels Eye :) )

Wow. That song is epic

Listen to Cardiacs. Seriously. Will change you like this did....

I had the immense pleasure of seeing Deerhunter play a festival in my area. I was both surprised and delighted to find they were on the smallest stage at the event and I basically got a front row spot. The set was obviously going well, but my friends and I had smoked the last of the weed we bought for the weekend the night before and I was incredibly bummed about being sober. By some luck or maybe an application of fate, a couple to my left asked us if I’d like to finish their joint. I’m no germaphobe and started smoking it almost immediately only for the guy to lean back in to say, “oh by the way, that’s laced with PCP.” I panicked as I prefer to research drugs before using them and I had absolutely no idea what kind of drug PCP was (my friend is the complete opposite and gladly took it off my hands). Long story short, I started feeling the effects just in time for DH to close with Desire Lines and the psychedelic finale was incredible. Definitely try to see these guys if you can.

Lovely melody

What an absolute pile of poo.

Bob's girl loves this song and Bob

I Love Rebecca!

So sweet!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

34-154aw

*drops the best song of the 2010s*


*nothin personnel kid*

try to listen this song in the subway while the people go crazy

Anyone else always trying to find this song after listening to A Day In The Life by the Beatles?

no comments in awhile this is so good. the lyrics r so simple but the chorus puts images in my brain it's great

ECTASY...

So Athens-esque, just like I like it (native). But, believable from anyplace else. I like that. I feel that way.

Holy.....👁👄👄👄♥️👽

Love this band

My 2nd favorite Deerhunter song. Im in the process of editing a feature length film I wrote directed and produced. The name of it is DESIRE LINES ...in no small part influenced and guided by this song.

Deerhunters best track fosho

I'll never get sick of this song.

porra de música perfeita pqp

one of my favorite songs ever

lovely !

Most of the music I love I find by myself and listen with myself... and think of things no one would be able to grasp their mind around.. :-)

Does anyone know what movie/show used this song? I'm sure I've hear it on TV before

Jay Shree Ram

ha - that was cool. 1st time to ever hear these guys

Mediocre and superboring.

Shit sucks

have my children

goo goo ga ga give me herion

The drums makes this song stand out... Softly popping it into perfected brilliance. The entire group together play sublimely.

La banda más infravalorada de la historia

….just magic!

This band makes me feel as excited about music as I did back in college (mid 80's) with The Smith's, REM, Cure etc...

If you haven't already, check out The Chameleons. I don't think you'll be disappointed :o)

Amazing! Hvis outro is so f.... sixty-hip!

Perfection.

Deerhunter you always have a special place in me no matter how much I get old, we grew up together.

Good but I could do without the rather uninteresting two minute ending.

Dude get out of your own head and just listen to it.... The outro is what makes this song genius.

Dude, I could do without the rather uninteresting two minute ending that's derivative, Captain Beefheart !!!!!!!!!. It's only been around in "popular" music for 60 years !.

Very much like The Engineers you ask me...

First random click of the year, and it's a killer. Love the sound, and that's how you fade out a damn good song.

Ugh...mushrooms?

A timeless song that I listen to almost daily!! Nothing about it fails to satisfy!!This song takes me places. Right up there with Pink Floyd’s Dogs!!!

This and "Powder" Bedhead outro are authentic rock gems. Thank you

Hope he’s flying where it shines, RIP 🦋

Josh Fauver. Rest.

REST IN PEACE JOSH FAUVER

Hypnotic

Who could forget rhythms such as these!

Best outro in the world

anyone else feel like they're riding a cloud when listening to this

Pure genius...

The outro is a Modren day "Stairway to Heaven"....(sorry for the reference)

really wish the outro went on for a couple minutes longer

Best thing I've heard since Ride - Nowhere LP

A-fucking-mazing

Deerhunter sound like Deerhunter to me.

Who gives a crap who it sounds like,you're splitting hairs. Music borrows while it burrows & evolves. Deerhunter rocks smoothly while grazing in poppy pastures.

people simply doesn't seem to understand (or pretend not to) that a new idea comes from the old ones. Thats too obvious to me.

Why don't you go to journalism school about it

Preach it! Borrow from the Best and inspire the Rest

and two people can come up with the same idea without knowing. even the exact same idea

Lol why are you being so hostile as if it's your song!? And there's a huge difference between being inspired from something while creating art and exactly borrowing something from someone else's. The intro sounds too much like rebellion lies by arcade fire so much so that it's hard for anyone who knows to not comment on it. Don't be a dick!

That song it's half and half. Like Memory tapes-bicycle. Amazing peace of art....Oh yes. Thank you Deerhunters 😍😍😍

First heard this in 2012 sophomore year good times :)

Early 80's British Post Punk much...

With a tad of Indie Rock in there.

What a song! If you like Deerhunter as much as I do, I invite you to check out Panda Bear who collaborated with Bradford for Atlas Sound. His last album PB meets the grim reaper is superb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prBaZzYmQrI

How have I only just discovered this band !

Favourite desire lines

Saw them open for Spoon years ago I missed the first part of their set I'm still pissed about it to this day

147 people are stupid. This song is heaven.
