My Bloody Valentine - Only Tomorrow

In other words, what Alex was getting at with

"the fourth part starting at about 3'30'' where a second (in comparison to the fuzzy one almost acoustic sounding) guitar appears with a new sweet and totally existential melancholic tune, that's it, BLISS"

this is still the song i have listened to most this year, i love to hear it in the airplane on the one hour flight from berlin to frankfurt and back. how the fuzzy guitar tone turns into this extraterrestrian beauty of a melody still leaves me completely speechless. it's like a mosaic broken into millions of pieces which are brought back into their original position by a miracle and the fragmented piece is even more beautiful than the original oeuvre.

here is what kevin shields had to say about the song in an interview with pf:

In putting out the new record, do you feel like it allowed you to move forward as a musician?
Definitely. It closed a loop in time; it resolved or something. "Only Tomorrow," the vocal melodies, even though I didn't record them on tape, I always had those melodies in my head, changing and shifting a bit over time. But they were something that always stayed with me. And I always had something in the back of my head to finish that. But I always thought I should record a proper new record first and stick that on there.

somehow it makes sense that this song was a tune in his head for a long time before it finally was recorded. actually i am quite astonished that he was able to transfer this amazing music from his head onto record.

This is far and away my favorite song on the album.

Yeah great description Alex, you pretty much nailed it's awesomeness

somehow this song - which was my fave from 2013 - sounds so shit on speakers i can't believe it. i always listened to it on earplugs all year long but now i am listening to it at home on the stereo. and the whole thing sounds so muddy, so low quality, so crap. is this maybe a song which has to be listened to on your own, a headphone track? listened to in the right circumstances it is a mind-fucker, that's for sure.

huh the whole cd sounds great on my stereo

maybe it's my stereo then.

Yeah, get better speakers / amp / CD player.

speakers are from the uk, celestion. amp is an old jvc. maybe it is the ipod. but somehow i don't believe it. does mbv sound better than loveless on your stereo nick?

because loveless already had this terrible wishy-washy sound.

i haven,t heard the loveless reissue yet, but wrt the Isn't Anything reissue, i was really impressed by how much more defined and 'thick' the guitars were. it reminds me of the mobile fidelity issue of nevermind.
