Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Take Care. By Songfacts®.

Beach House are a dream-pop duo from Baltimore consisting of vocalist Victoria Legrand, the niece of French film composer Michel Legrand and guitarist Alex Scally. This is the closing track from their third studio album, Teen Dreams.

Legrand explained to Artist Direct why the duo decided to finish the album with this song: "That song is definitely in its right place at the end. I think it's definitely an intense song. The way that it keeps going until it leaves you or you leave it, means a lot about the future. This record is not a nostalgic record, necessarily. It's not just melancholic. It's not just languid. It's other things, and I think as much as it has more sexuality in it perhaps, it still has darkness in it of course. I'm sure there's still heartbreak. I think there's a little future in it. That's something that I don't think we played with before. I always compare it to the energy of '10 Mile Stereo.' It's lancing you into something new or exciting. I don't think that's a specific direction we would go in. For that time, it was giving us an energy that propelled us forward. So, we'll see what happens."

Legrand told About.com why the duo titled the album Teen Dreams: "The logic was that there was no logic. In the beginning of writing it, we just blurted it out, 'Teen Dream,' and liked it immediately. It felt very classic. I think it very much described the feeling that we had: youthful and obsessed, completely inspired by everything in this overwhelming, irrational, passionate way. That's very much the way we were feeling when we were making the record."
