Top 10 of 2012: #1 Beach House - Myth 

Beach House - "Myth"

I don't know why. I'm not a huge Beach House person. I've listened to all of Bloom a few times, and it never clicked. But each and every time, I'd get to "Myth" and put the song on repeat a few times.

The song was added to my iTunes library in mid-May. It's been played, as of now, 52 times (53 times, in a couple of minutes). I don't know why I love it.

I'm not sure if it's the repetition. I'm not sure if it's the fuzziness of the song, how nothing sounds distinct. You can't quite hear the lyrics clearly through the dubbing or echo or whatever effect there is. Maybe it's the beauty of the chorus that sort of breaks out of the song. I don't know what it is.

Sometimes you're not sure why you love something, you just do.
