Reception

Allmusic picked "Beachy Head" as one of the highlights of the album.[3] Consequence of Sound found a connection between this song and the band's first single "Found Love in a Graveyard" and wrote: "On the deceptively upbeat "Found Love in a Graveyard", Veronica Falls tell the tale of falling for a ghost, and dips into surf-rock on the irresistible "Beachy Head", an ode of longing for a popular suicide locale."[4] The referenced locale is Beachy Head in East Sussex, the highest seaside cliff in Great Britain. The site is notorious for its frequent employment in suicides.[5]

Video

A music video directed by Phillipa Bloomfield was released in June 2010.[6]
