Saltwater by Beach House Song Info
(6/26/07): "I felt really wild and {was} searching for something musically, ...and it was literally born in one night. I think it was 'Saltwater' or something…. We were writing these little things with the organ and I think 'Saltwater' was the first song that night, and it was very apparent that this was the song. And we just kept writing.” ~ Victoria, Pitchfork (5/3/12): “She was over at my house one night, and I had all these organs all over the place. We were probably drinking—it was 3 a.m. in the middle of summer—and I started playing some chords. But it wasn’t a cheesy TV moment like I’m describing—it was an insanely natural thing. We wrote our first song, ‘Saltwater,’ that night.” ~ Alex, Interview (7/16/15): “We had two organs, {Victoria’s} white organ and the two organs in my house, and then this guitar, and when we just started working it was just what was there, and we loved it.” ~ Alex, FactMag (2/19/23): What’s the meaning behind Saltwater? “Unrequited love.” ~ Reddit
