Collected Animals

Wasn't that the lyric at one point?

yeah, it was the original lyric for that bit. in the flowers changed a lot for the album

edit: for context

Sometimes i guess i gotta miss my wife

happens in my homeeeeeeeee/never see it coming

and there's no way to remind me of pacific plates or what the text was/no better way to remind me of sun-heated seats than "love me do" was (+ the entirety of that song)

ugh was going to quote maybe something from "doggy" but then I'd be depressed for days

"IF WE COULD HAVE JJUST enGAGED I'd have enhanced my weakness in comforting otheeers"

"I'm drunk on your potatoes"

hahaha

Then I imagine time he's got real big hands and bigger plans
From a long time ago

respect the hive

See your hopes become my hopes

See your hopes become my hopes

Yes!
Preakness is my all time fav

will do boss

edit: can't find it

May I bang with this?

I should be floatin but I'm weighted by thinkin

I only want the time
To do one thing that I like
I want to get so stoned
And take a walk out in the light drizzle
At the end of the day
When there's no one watchin

What’s the day? What you doing?
How's your food? How's that song?
Man it passes right by me
It's behind me, now its gone

What haaaaAAAAaaapppeeennnneedd,,,, what haaAAaapppeennnnedd, what haaaaaAAAAaaapppeennnneddd,,, what haaaAAaaaaapppeennnnnnedddd

I... started playing the game, and like, the game

Pretty sure it's '...in, like, the game'.

As for the NPR, not in the Live Archive? Any 07 show around then probably has it.

no npr in the archive but I have heard boots from that year with in the flowers

I... started playing the game, and like, the game

What haaaaAAAAaaapppeeennnneedd,,,, what haaAAaapppeennnnedd, what haaaaaAAAAaaapppeennnneddd,,, what haaaAAaaaaapppeennnnnnedddd

duhn- duhn- duhn
duhn- duhn- duhn duhn

Hahaha, I hear it more like "huuhh nuh huh, huuhh nuh huh, huuhh nuh huh, huuhh nuh huh"

yeah it is. pretty sure I read about it somewhere in one of the archived Avey posts on old CA. I remembered him also saying that they used a lot of field recordigs for ST of the boys just shooting the shit (especially on We Tigers)

Hahaha, I hear it more like "huuhh nuh huh, huuhh nuh huh, huuhh nuh huh, huuhh nuh huh"

hehehehe

Taking long walks makes it right?!?!?. NO!!

Breaking thoughts you thought were mmmmmm WAIT!!!

you helped the sneeze for as long as you could just to cast ino the sneezing void

and you can take all you want from another person, in the end you find you lose your voice


i know that we die
and i hope you come back again
this earth and
your skin
you know it comes back again
i know that it's hard
but i know you'll come back again
i know that it's hard
but i know I'll come back again
always do



tears are sometimes magical, blurring colors in your eyes

listen in between your notes
there's something good goin on
while you're busy taking notes
and look in between your moments
there's something good happening
it's good to sometimes slow it down


lucky child don't know how lucky she is

there's other ways to fight torture, don't let it get you down

should I pull up the floor of my kitchen
so I can feel the dirt while I'm doing all my dishes
to live in a house that is breathing
is a luxury when you understand its meaning


take one day at a time
everything else you can leave behind
only one thing at a time
anything more really hurts your mind

Hahaha, I hear it more like "huuhh nuh huh, huuhh nuh huh, huuhh nuh huh, huuhh nuh huh"

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT HAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPEHNDD WHAT HAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaPppeeeennnneddd WHAAAT HAAAAAAPPPENEDDDD

Also, incredible +1 to the always you lyrics. One of my favs also man

please respect the candles in a line

And tears are frozen diamonds
So we smile while we're crying

Oh blissful bleed I came out peaking and freebirded out like a wet clown

lucky child don't know how lucky she is

I always thought it was lucky charm

I don't understand why that section isn't in the official lyrics

How many times you wait with nothing today the evening is over
The sun has gone and made a glowing line in your pretty brown eyes

Honeycomb/Gotham both have some seriously overlooked lyrics.

He said please stay
You can see me, don't go away
I can't see the landscape
Please describe its amaranthine haze
It's odd where I am
There are people you're not like them
They just look away
For rain quenched golden days
And my tears quench five feet of lawn
And I can scream, but I cannot yawn
And people gonna come and people gonna cry
He just woke and dreamt and ate and died
Don't try and erase what you have done
Put your fingers in a mouth and kiss it if it wants
And where's my friend, I want to hold him tight
He's so far away from mountain lights
I'm going cuckoo cuckoo


This song really screws me up

Yeah it reads like a fever dream or a depersonalisation episode. So good.

Yeah, fuckin' heart-wrenching man. I can't even fucking list all my fave anco/solo guyz stuff, their lyrics are so important to me, so here's just a few:

...

Well, I just tried to make a small list, but I couldn't stop, and i'm sure no one here wants to re-read half the lyrics in the AC/PB/AT discographies. I basically based my life around the lyrics in Person Pitch for about a year and a half, so there's thems.

post em my man, its what this thread is for!!!

or at least post the ones that you feel are typically overlooked

i know that we die
and i hope you come back again
this earth and
your skin
you know it comes back again
i know that it's hard
but i know you'll come back again
i know that it's hard
but i know I'll come back again
always do

This is easily in my top 5 ... this song is too real and beautiful ...

I don't recognise it, what is it dudes?

Animal Collective - Always You


i think...

Something I really appreciate is how Avey has a lot of very wordy songs where he's telling these intricate stories, but then Panda seems to get a lot out of a little
These are some of my personal fav lyrics of Panda doing a lot with very simple words


Lift this weight
Leave my light on


You'll trip up again
You'll trip up again
You'll get up again



And what else would they say?


Stay
What's in my way?
What's in my way?
Gotta have it to get over it

Animal Collective - Always You


i think...

Thanks. I've never listened to the lyrics, almost always listen to the Dublab version, too, with the intense looped vocal.

Take a risk just for yourself / and wade into the deep end of the ocean

All the pieces where they ought to be
But it's clear that he don't look like me

it feels like progress is the product of a hidden game

"No more getting through triumph inside" is great because I have no idea what it means
