Collected Animals

was looking for somewhere to post this and thought i'd make a thread here to discuss the new avey songs

was listening to the mothlight version of sew happy and not only is it totally different but it has a whole additional verse. kinda interesting cause the lyrics seem to be telling some sorta of story about a cat and a horse...

Midnight Special
Sew Happy
Taken Boy
Eyes on Eyes
Disc One/Disc Two
Doctor No
Uncle Donut
The Aging Heart
Red Light Water Show
Enjoy the Change
Ono Lemonade
Saturdays
The Mayan
[derrière]

blue = mothlight show
pink = eucalyptus tour
green = both

what do the colors mean

when they were played, edited above

big ups on compiling all the track names. loving what ive heard of Eucalyptus tour but still havent listened to mothlight... these song titles by themselves are kinda especially sweet tho.

mayan's my favorite so far but it all sounds fucking ace. his next release will be amazing if eucalyptus is any indication. if this is like a slightly more upbeat/electric guitar-centric eucalyptus, that'd be great

Life is all kinds of meeting you there ...

Ugh so good

Can someone take a stab at the lyrics for Saturdays? I can try later but its definitely an earworm song. Its the kind of emotional and reflective sounding Avey stuff that I love

Edit: Giving it a try

Completeness
Is written on a cake
The red, the white, the blue, the opaque
....better than nothings.

Some sweet replies
Summoned up out of the ovens
If words could play a wonderful day
When did things get rough and

And who but I
Could take you out into the open
A brush on the neck and a push in the lake and
Things that I am hoping for you

And some I try
Get a little superstitious
Inside of a (?) laying in the bed
Not gettin' any wishes

And you don't know why I'm
Peaked on Saturdays
Mmmmhmmm
Should be just like all the days

And you don't know why I
Never a clock puncher for Mondays
Cause they remind me
Of those Saturdays

Is it Saturday
Do we have do we have to play
Is it Saturday
Do we have do we have to play
Is it Saturday
Do we have do we have to
Is it Saturday
Do we have do we have to

My how time flies
Said my little cousins
My how time flies
Said my little cousins

I turned a break through a southern pond
And with the dragonflies you went buzzins'
I turned a break through a southern pond
And with the dragonflies you went buzzins'

And you don't know why I'm
Peaked on Saturdays
Mmmmhmmm
Should be just like all the days

And you don't know why I'm
Never a clock puncher for Mondays
Cause they remind me of those Saturdays

^looks pretty good. there is also a thread in the lyrics sub-forum for the new avey shit if you wanna post it there as well

Man, I know Eucalyptus just came out but I really want to hear studio versions of these soonish...

there was that theory that he cornpilled a lot of the shows this tour because maybe he was doing studio time? like maybe he wants to get them down very quickly, dont we have another reason to believe thats the case? like i think he even said that maybe...

maybe he'd try to get it out real quick so its out before panda starts his roll-out, which knowing panda might be 2 years long or something

I wouldn't get hopes up for a quick release of these, I don't think the label would want to rush it out so soon after Eucalyptus or Panda Bear's thing

ya im kinda concerned since panda's thing might come out soon*. the only reason i think eucalyptus's recent release would effect it less is that was a relatively smaller release with virtually no true singles and a minimal ad campaign... idk if that fact, and the fact that they were actually pretty old songs could effect things tho..

Eh, Panda Bear's thing?

*wrote that wrong, meant that pandas is about to come out (sometime early next year i guess?) and ya that makes it seem like avey needs to put this out really fast or wait til after or something. not that their solo releases necessarily conflict... that's the kind of shit we would need to ask Geo/Domino

Ah, cheers. Think Avey's thing will come out first. Remember, we didn't even know Eucalyptus existed and then bang

Although the theory that he cornpilled those shows due to studio time sounds sincerely appetizing, I have serious doubts about that. Espically since they took on a show to perform ST in its entriely with 2 months to prepare for it. Of course, that couldve been in the makes well before it was anncounced, but either way they have 12 plus songs to remake/reinvent (whatever you'd like to call it) then rehearse them ... While probably having an already limited schedule to meet together as is .. Plus shows in between / traveling etc.. It seems as if it was an accidental case of over booking the schedule

if this is like a slightly more upbeat/electric guitar-centric eucalyptus, that'd be great

I think that's exactly what it's gonna be, at least that's exactly what the mothlight show was like, you should give it a listen

is that Aging Heart? Only song on this tour he's played I haven't heard I thought, unless he's introduced new ones. only know the first set where he did Mayan.... sounds rad

Nah, that's Taken Boy. It's from the first show in Copenhagen where he debuted the Mothlight songs

o fuck ok. so many songs gotdamn

he played two more brand new songs last night at the 2nd brooklyn show. he's unstoppable lol

these songs were amazing too guys. i had the privilege of seeing them and holy shit. get fucking hyped

Eyes,

Eyes?

Eeeeyes....

so whats "right now" being called now?

Midnight Special?

yup

newest of the new avey songs, from the lisbon church show

Already afraid of what he'll leave off this album

Already afraid of what he'll leave off this album

Ideal scenario would just be a massive album with all of the new songs... that being said, probably not, and just hoping we do a get nice triplet of eyes on eye, disc one/disc two, and doctor no, those all went so well together on the mothlight boot.

If we never hear midnight special again, there may be riots
Like how song for Jerome never got recorded in the studio

^ or sponge luke

I wonder if Avey will tighten up the new songs in the studio versions or if they'll be this massive and epic

i'm very afraid for midnight special and taken boy. taken boy is single material!!!
