did anyone else watch this cover back in the day of Also Frightened which turned it into a vaguely xenophobic country song?

Spoiler: show

I don't understand

can I please understand?

Nice sound!
One of the only negative things I can say is that changing the lyrics to "if the West is threatened... are you also frightened?" makes the song seem xenophobic, haha... I don't think AC would ever sing about being frightened of "the west being threatened".
The original lyrics are something like "When influence is threatened" in case that was just a mistake.

it could also be a reference to the "wild west" of the united states or something. i think calling out xenophobia is a bit silly

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 14, 2013 1:25 am

Yeah i wouldnt automatically assume that its what they meant by the lyric change. but your interpretation is still valid

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 14, 2013 8:48 am

I dunno, that was just the first thing that came to my mind seeing westerners say "the west is threatened"

how would the wild west be threatened today

I mean, they probably just thought the lyrics were "if the west is threatened" and just ran with it so whatever. No big deal. I just thought it was funny how it made it so easy to interpret it like that.

I love that country interpretation of Also Frightened. Well executed, even if the lyrics have that xeno overtone.

Post **Posted:** Tue Oct 15, 2013 7:07 am

xenovertone, heh

and yeah it's really well done

Post **Posted:** Tue Oct 15, 2013 10:12 pm

Haha, was talking with my experimental music teach and he was talking about how tired he is of bands building songs in the structure of either 4 bars, or 4/4 time, or using any multiple of 2 as the form of their song as he said off to the side "It makes me mad - aww Animal Collective you're fucking up!" I literally loled. He's a cool guy though.

An experimental music class would be the greatest thing ever, wish I could go to one.

like jfw said, Nathan died in 2002, when Ezra was 18, so he probably never met him. it would be really weird and gross to write a fictional thing about a person that you didn't know that died tragically.

Yeah I always thought Aeroplane Over the Sea was a weird album. I mean dude, you didn't even KNOW Anne Frank.

She is a historical figure though so you 'know' her in some way (also don't even front like that isn't in any way a gross and weird concept for an album). I think y'all know what i mean anyway.

I was being a smart ass. Anyway, I guess if you looked at it with a perverted perspective it would be, but that's not what it's about at all. It's about the tragedy of how a girl with a pure heart and soul had her life ended by evil people. "The only girl I've ever loved was born with roses in her eyes, but then they buried her alive one evening, 1945"

That video is really special. Very serene and peaceful moment between two lovers, at the time, it was just very sentimental to watch. I never get tired of that video myself. That was a good time

Post **Posted:** Thu Oct 24, 2013 4:45 pm

yeah one of my favorite AC related videos. one of the classix

Post **Posted:** Thu Oct 24, 2013 10:09 pm

Everyday I log into this forum and pray that there's some new thread with like 3 pages already titled "NEW SONG LAST NIGHT" or something like that and unfortunately i am always a sad boy.

Post **Posted:** Thu Oct 24, 2013 10:30 pm

well first off you're looking in the wrong forum and second, still no new songs...really cool new intro jams to a few songs though

Post **Posted:** Fri Oct 25, 2013 3:00 am
