“How do you describe that in language without sounding completely abstract and out-of-your-mind?” Legrand asks. “That’s how most moments of creativity feel—you almost can’t not use far-out language.”
“When you try to describe your creative moments, you veer off into a very unintelligible place of nonsense,” Scally says to her. “Because describing a moment of creativity is impossible.”
“Well, what am I supposed to say? I really don’t give a shit.” Legrand says this like she does, in fact, give a substantial shit.
“I almost think it’s not worth talking about because it’s so hard to articulate,” Scally offers in a consoling tone.
“All right, then I just won’t answer questions,” Legrand shoots back. “You can answer them.”
“That’s not what I was saying.”
“I know it’s not.”
Legrand then turns to me and adds, “He basically said I was unintelligible. I could be mildly offended by that—it doesn’t feel good when your partner tells you that you’re nonsense, but it’s the truth.”
“It’s not that,” Scally says, trying to dig himself out. “It’s just that I watch you go down these roads in your brain trying to be truthful, but there’s no concise answer.”
“It’s a lot easier to just feel it,” Legrand decides, already over it.
(8/24/15): It was the song 10:37 that they finished recording first. “I think it definitely helped inform the energy of the whole record – very minimal,” Alex says. “… But open and very natural,” continues Victoria. “That song has got that kernel of incredible space and just a very natural feeling and we just really followed it, I swear. And that vibe informed the whole thing.” ~ DIY
(8/28/15): “We got home in the fall of 2013, and I think one of the first things was ‘10:37.’ And then later, in the springtime, we started to develop a bunch of these little thoughts. And we weren’t worrying about time or anything.” ~ Victoria, Under The Radar
(11/18/15): “We fell in love with that beat immediately. That sound, coming from the keyboard.” ~ Victoria, Puls

Beach House Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like night disappeared
Caught in the atmosphere
Where you go, she casts no shadow
Still you know she's near
Lie
Lie
Here she comes, all parts of everything
Stars in the motherhand
With the dark, thunder above you
Come to a song, we
Lie
Lie
Chances are
Ten, thirty seven
House made of the dawn
Disappears
Lie
Lie
The lyrics to Beach House's song "10:37" depict a surreal and mysterious atmosphere that leaves much up to interpretation. The opening lines suggest a fleeting moment or feeling, as if something has disappeared into the night sky. The mention of being caught in the atmosphere may imply a sense of being trapped or stuck in a moment in time. The following lines introduce a female character who appears to be both present and absent at the same time, casting no shadow but making her presence known. The repetition of "lie" throughout the song adds to the enigmatic and dreamlike tone.
The chorus brings the listener to a place where everything is unified and connected, with the image of stars held in a "motherhand." The mention of thunder suggests a looming threat or darkness, but the verses and chorus are intertwined with a sense of hope or promise. The final lines of the song, "Ten, thirty-seven / House made of the dawn / Disappears" are cryptic and open-ended, leaving the listener with a feeling of uncertainty and intrigue. Overall, "10:37" is a masterful and thought-provoking work of art that resists easy interpretation or classification.
Line by Line Meaning
Chances are
The likelihood is high
Like night disappeared
Vanished suddenly like darkness at dawn
Caught in the atmosphere
Trapped in the environment, unable to escape
Where you go, she casts no shadow
The presence of someone special who doesn't weigh you down
Still you know she's near
You can sense her closeness despite the absence of a physical form
Here she comes, all parts of everything
She is everything, encompassing each and every part of you
Stars in the motherhand
The stars, held in a mother's loving embrace, convey a sense of nurturing
With the dark, thunder above you
As you encounter darkness and storms, she is your protector above
Come to a song, we
Together, we arrive at a place of harmonious melody
Ten, thirty seven
The time of day, pinpointing a specific moment in time
House made of the dawn
The place where the light conquers darkness, bringing new beginnings
Disappears
Fades away into nothingness
Lie
A repeated plea for honesty
Lie
A repeated plea for honesty

@foilhat8868
Honestly the greatest moment for me is simply when the pads and keys drop in at 1:10. It's like falling into a void of infinite cushoning red velvet. So elegantly beautiful yet elegaic at once. Big, big tune.
