Animal Collective - Safer

[weswally1]

I just spent around an hour trying to remember what this song was called. I tracked it back down, thank christ!

[nnoceans]

'In the snow filled lakes where there used to be waves,

I feel deranged

They're building beaches inside so it's sunny on me'

[Envee211]

@nnoceans

"They're building beaches inside so it's sunny all day" is the correct lyric I believe.

[ImmobileArts]

stellar work omiewise. Congratulations. You should be proud yo!

[MsKamillebidan]

this and the softest voice, in some strange way, give me momentum as I exit the universe

[koorukukukoo]

I don't know if there's any real danger

But the creatures all know that it's safer in the dark...

This song is wonderful.

[alienshe0]

lovely lovely song, man :}

[Cizcan]

What episode of Sherlock Holmes is this?

[ecmartz]

That was a trip

[StuHutch]

HOW CAN ONE BAND BE SO FUCKING GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!

[thankyoupleaseable]

does anyone happen to know what episodes the images are from (assuming its the adventures of sherlock holmes?)

[Milnerbradley]

great job on the video!

[kydoes]

Megadeth is fucking amazing! And so is Animal Collective. They're two completely different genres. don't compare them. And never criticize something that you've not listened to. In fact don't criticize anything that's opinion based.

[palbo4]

@kydoes lmao who was comparing animal collective to megadeth? both great bands, but that's really funny

[woofwoofkats]

Man, now DON'T GET TOO FREAKY ON ME!!!!

[JewsCantBePiratz]

janedawg get off the E. the end of this sounds like a small dog being killed with a chainsaw.

[janedawg69]

@JewsCantBePiratz no

[Kumquantative]

I must know movie <:(

[janedawg69]

I just wanna be best friends forever with everyone who loves this music as much as I do.

[MrErlendFS]

@janedawg69 I feel you... How do I introduce people to them?

[janedawg69]

@MrErlendFS i mean, like, if you start being friendly to really socially awkward boys, it's pretty easy...but otherwise i've been mostly unsuccessful :(

[web5592]

@janedawg69 yes. just yes

[janedawg69]

@web5592 yes!

[jeremyouioui]

@janedawg69 oh my god i'm searching for this message since 2years!!!

[jeremyouioui]

[interpolluter29]

[ImmobileArts]

[Envee211]

I'm alright if you're alright. I'm alright if you're alright. I'm alright if you're alright. I'm alright if you're alright. I'm alright if you're alright. I'm alright if you're alright.

[sfdallator]

@Envee211 i hope you're alright cuz I' I'm alright

[thankyoupleaseable]

it's the b-side to peacebone from the peacebone single.

[hotttarheeldude]

@thankyoupleaseable They should have made Peacebone the B-Side for this song. Its amazing.

[pushyoureyesin]

Where can I find a torrent for this?

[dimlyFourOwls]

The dude tries to quit crack but THEN HE FEELS BAD!

[pushyoureyesin]

where can I find a torrent for htis?

[Resdim]

This reminds me of someone lost in thought, trying to help make sense of language, and the way that a crowd of people will shove emotions and steal until it's all murky gray, unless there is some formation, which there always is.

[yrsnkd]

cool story bro.

[THEMETAL64]

i just get animal collective

[THEMETAL64]

animal collective just get me.

[heatherholla1]

why do people get in arguments via youtube video comments? enjoy the music and stop hating

[DaveysRecipeRead]

The most brilliant song ever made, vastly better than any other and far more intelligent as well. These dudes kick that ass!

[NSLV527]

OMFG GRENADA HOLMES AND WATSON!



[hahahalols]

should have been a single etc

[hahahalols]

flawless song 

[DaveysRecipeRead]

Amazing!! 

[SleepyDoughnut]

I'd just like to put it out there, that this is one of the finest songs I've ever heard

[JACINTOCORTINA]

william blake! lol dope video

[beckhamulm]

This is supposed to be a B-side? This is incredible!

[gri3vances]

the creatures all know that it's safer in the dark

[jesusejesus]

i feel like they understand my mind

[MissElleHerself]

God, this song. This song can take me directly from whatever mood I'm in to something that helps me appreciate the beauty in all the things that are currently in my vision. I thank creativity for a song like this.

[recklessdummy]

Was he supposed to be on morphine or heroin or something in the beginning of the episode?

[goonbot3030]

its pretty sad really I think Jeremy Brett was actually on lithium to deal with his Manic Depression which got very bad after his wife's death, it caused him to retain water which is why he looks fatter, and he struggled to remember lines and so on. Shame. RIP JB

[portraitphenomenon]

man... ive been to 3 AC music shows, it did not sound nothing like this or anything on their albums. They change everything around, nothing sounds the same, for the worst only... if AC on their live shows sounded like they do on their albums, i think that theyd be among the best shows live ever..

[Editrgnome]

It's Sherlock Holms

[ItsMellah]

sooo you're alright if im alright? :D

[neoeyes4u]

"why am I so scared of explosions going off just any old way I turn"

[hillboy762]

she must be a hell of a cook lol.

[burritobunch]

what is this movie?

[morpheus1x]

@burritobunch sherlock homes "devils foot" episode with jeremy brent rip.

[manyowefew]

Society owes a great debt to Animal Collective. Never before in the field of experimental music have things made so much sense, and for this Animal Collective shall be taken as god people. Except for that show in LA like two years ago that they bailed on, they still owe me for that.

[theygotstuff]

fuck you i like megadeth and animal collective

[Megadeth8908]

Haha even Animal Collective fans can't recommend a good song by the band, keep dissing me I don't care, this band is horrible (from what I've heard). And I like trippy stuff...

[aBEARwithCLAWS]

@Megadeth8908 you prolly think they are horrible is because you listen to megadeth lol

[HankerKomo]

@Megadeth8908 The "from what I've heard" gives away the ignorance. Leave this fella be.

[oogaboogan]

@Megadeth8908 This is not one i'd recommend right off the bat. Its got sections that are better than others. If you listen to Chocolate Girl, Fireworks, Derek, Chores, The Purple Bottle (Stevie Wonder Version), Banshee Beat, Leaf House, For Reverend Green and Brothersport and cant even like ONE of those songs, there is something seriously wrong with you.

[aaronthewolf]

@oogaboogan oooh banshee beat, how could anyone not like that song? i'm pretty sure my grandma would like that song if i played it for her...maybe i will play it for her, she would probably do a little grandma dance

[Khalsabychoice]

@oogaboogan Prospect Hummer

[recklessdummy]

@Megadeth8908 I'll bet you research every bands origins before you decide if you like there music.

[medicinesocks]

well. I got goosebumps. perfect audio/video understatement of real horror, real mystery. it got me.

[mowrt620]

@clovisexplosion133 It's from the Peacebone single

[morpheus1x]

its perfect even with the screaming.

[ROZEAUDIO]

I thought to myself, HOLY SHIT ITS 10 MINUTES LONG! ZOMG! YES!

[ericquackhead]

This could be another comment insulting mainstream music, but that would be a mainstream comment, and thats too mainstream for hipster me

[skinnysoup]

no, seriously, i like most animal collective, but... is his screaming supposed to compliment the music somehow?

[michaelsomebodymusic]

@skinnysoup No. Its not. Thats the point. Its transitioning, waking from the calmer and more harmonious preceding lines. Its changing the 'trip' so to speak. Not all things good are beautiful and not all things beautiful are good.

[skinnysoup]

@michaelsomebodymusic wasn't trying to ""dis" it. if i put enough focus into the song, i really enjoy it. i'm just not convinced it's the most inventive form of contrast, as he does it on so many other songs.

[ybrik222]

Burying syringes in the beach can't be "[Safer]" for the kids. : /

[bananiolo2]

Thank god great music still exists

[1231439]

this is like, one of my all time favorite youtube videos

[sonofagunder]

the fact that anco have never had to face any challenges in their lives makes it incredibly hard for me to take them seriously, especially when they're so heavily influenced by genres pioneered by the ostracized and disadvantaged minorities (afro-beat, chicago house, etc., etc.) calling their sound original is spitting in the faces of everyone they've taken musical styles from.

[BRADANDKALEB]

@sonofagunder first off

how would u know theyve never had any challenges?

have you lived with them their whole lives?

secondly you are definately over analyzing the shit out of there origins

who gives a fuck where they came from its the music that matters

theyre not tryna sell books about therre life struggles

there are a ton of artists that havent had any struggles in their life

you need to come to grips with what ur even talking about because it doesnt have any solid basis

[PullThenTake]

@sonofagunder

I....... I hate you.

[sonofagunder]

the only "message" animal collective sends is WHY BE SAD? I'M HAPPY BECAUSE I WAS BORN RICH AND MY PARENTS STILL PAY FOR MY UPSTATE NYC STUDIO'S RENT THAT THE AVERAGE PERSON CAN'T EVEN DREAM OF AFFORDING DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY WORK MULTIPLE JOBS. YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY, TOO.

[GeistWerk]

@sonofagunder yeah becasue money makes you happy. you shallow and simple minded troll :D

[primematrix]

@sonofagunder why are you trollin so hard just shut the fuck up and go listen to the jonas brothers

[sonofagunder]

animal collective are essentially the jonas brothers with lower aspirations. instead of making music that anyone can appreciate, they're catering to a particular social set. making an electronic pet sounds isn't experimental, it's trash that only privileged white kids - animal collection's exact reflection - enjoy.

[domakesayhi]

@sonofagunder i'm not interested in where they came from. or how they got there. your statements are ignorant & your attitude sucks. the only thing that matters is how their music makes you feel. they create another world through such sounds, be it electronic pets or people screaming. & joining them in that place, in that world, has made all the difference for me. while quite frankly, i'm glad i wont be seeing you there. save your breath &go listen to whatever YOU like.

[sunolopa]

@domakesayhi Wisdom.



[Dan7yeah]

@sonofagunder im not an priveliged white kid and I can relate enjoy and yes with some money and creativity I could make music like this being if i was as talented as them.

[Dan7yeah]

@sonofagunder im not an priveliged white kid and I can relate enjoy and yes with some money and creativity I could make music like this being if i was as talented as them. Comparinxg them to the jonas brothers makes you an idiot.

[ybrik222]

@sonofagunder

Just... stfu.

[morpheus1x]

heard this on princeton u while a bunch of shit in my head. it blew me away. im alright if you're alright! the vid is brilliant and TG i let metal go along time ago...

[Megadeth8908]

OH yes. I made this account a loooong time ago. Look at my favorites, and you will see the things I like. I still think this band is absolute shit. I like metal, and about any other rock genre... So what? ANIMAL COLLECTIVE SUCKS!!!! Show me a song I'll like! please!!!!!!

[thedarkesthole]

@Megadeth8908 ah yes, metal. A genre i once loved before i expanded my mind and realized what total shit it is, that its just a bunch of ego driven noise trying to sound bad assed when really it completely blows. Yes, I once thought megadeth was a fantastic group. Now i realize dave mustaine is a HACK.

Animal Collective is amazing. They are like the beatles for me. They have unbelievable imaginations and creativity, and are far more talented and intuitive than any of the shit you clearly like

[ThatKrissyChick]

@Megadeth8908 What you don't seem to understand is, just because you don't like animal collective doesn't mean they suck. If you have issues with them then simply don't listen to them. No one forced you to. They are a great band and none of your arguments saying "they suck" is going to change anyone's opinion. So why spend time typing out all these derogatory comments about them? It doesn't make you look impressive. It makes you look like you have no life.

[portraitphenomenon]

yeah, this is my fav A.C. song.... but i also love everything else.

[Gregdawgz]

dude that weird color scene that looked like smoke was the last scene fo the water!!

lol wow i am messed up

[greenupradio]

nice video :)

[ABUDHABICOMBATCLUBOA]

the lead singer kinda sounds like bono huh? or am i trippin?

[Wcburg1]

@ABUDHABICOMBATCLUBOA youre trippin.

[Wcburg1]

this is one of the most genuinely beautiful songs i've ever heard.

[ronstero]

I'm listening to it right now for the first time...I DON'T WANT IT TO END!

[stperea]

goddamn they are just pure experimentation. that build up was insane, and i bet most of it is impulsive. this is mind expansion

[Megadeth8908]

If this is one of their best songs I guess its safe to assume everything else they do is shit.

[DaveTheBluesGuy]

@Megadeth8908 you sir, are a complete imbecile. Stick to your pitiful shred-fest.

[portraitphenomenon]

@DaveTheBluesGuy hahahaha!! megadeth, just that name alone explains a whole LOT.

[thedarkesthole]

@portraitphenomenon Dude totally. Thats what I was thinking

[Megadeth8908]

@thedarkesthole Thats funny because I looked at your profile and we seem to be into alot of the same bands. Look at my favorites before you try and trash my tastes lol. You act like its the work of god to make a 9 minute long meandering song with random yelling. What drugs do I have to take to find this shit enjoyable!?! Still waiting on someone to recommend a AC song I would like..

[thedarkesthole]

@Megadeth8908 Yes i do enjoy some hard rock, especially when i was younger.

What drugs? hmm. I dunno, LSD usually enhances animal collective quite a bit. But i doubt you'd be open minded enough to experiment that way. you probably just think all drugs are the same.

The thing is, its not just yelling and meandering music. Listen to "I Think I Can" and tell me the same thing you just told me. Just do it.

[BRADANDKALEB]

@Megadeth8908

if ur name is megadeath

and ur into metal

then why would u like any of it?

it is waaay out there compared to metal

and alot of their songs sound like a mental mindfuck

theres others that are more "mainstream" and are actually songs

but for the most part there just really random

[PutisBen]

@Megadeth8908 metalheads don't get opinions

anything is shit if it doesn't have loud guitars and tattoos to you people

[thedarkesthole]

@PutisBen amen.

[evmister94]

what sherlock holmes episode is this?

[sparelead777]

Your opinion is absolutely horrible

[blldg12]

This music video is absolutely horrible.

[AgileMuffin]

im on the waterslide of acid shrooms and you name a hallucinogen im on it

[dutchmenred]

WEEEEE!

[FrecklesandLove]

Hey, can someone tell me what clips and stuff this video is made from?? Haha sorry but the comments aren't any help. :)

[RenegadeShorts]

@FrecklesandLove Appears to be an episode of Sherlock Holmes

[mcarrollish]

one of THE BEST animal collective songs

[jessiewollyyy]

I don't get why this song sounds so different than their other songs..especially the intro. It's goood, though. (:

[heysatan8]

goosebumps all over

[SleepyDoughnut]

The more you listen to it, the more incredible this song becomes.

[gaiablue24]

i really want to see the movie these clips are from now. im afraid it wont be as good without the music so maybe i will just play this song on repeat throughout - but then again im not sure i can handle that

[mrgreynomore]

The Devil's foot episode, I think.

[genowhirl]

I was going to ask what other ways are there to fight torture besides letting it get you down..

then I realized I was listening to the answer!

drugs and anco can make any torture bearable.

don't make your problems my funny problems

don't make your troubles my funny troubles

[oatsy64]

as of what i've seen of this, looks like the scariest fuckin sherlock holmes movie ever

[sugarfish]

Very nice!

[macrofocus1988]

I've listened to every animal collective song ever made several times, but this one is totally unique

[Jerdna3]

this is so different from every other AnCo song

[iiiaaatttaaa]

@Jerdna3 every animal collective song is so different from every other animal collective song

[DrMatt88]

1:36 to 2:35 looks like Holmes is giving up his heroin addiction

[Ch33zYForY0U]

Hey dont get too freaky on me.

[hai2you2]

You should explain that you merely added this song to clips from the old Sherlock Holmes movie or whatever it is. People think this video is real.

[Musicasaurus]

This is it. This just completed my life.

Genius.

[indianrunner70]

I'm alright if you're alright...

[mrsaganscosmos]

those background noises in the beginning are scaring the shit out of me. epic

[Olympic1401]

just buries a hypodermic on the beach. what an asshole.

[xxballinjedixx]

1:32 ---> Waste of acid.

[thatonekid111]

what are they vaporizing?

[TheUnremarkableMe]

@thatonekid111: dreams.

[OGARAINTDEAD]

Beautiful.

[Danigomez92]

NEED THIS SONG!!!

[Shibokuhidesato]

Two things, what album is this off of, and what did you take the video clips from?

[Goomba4001]

@Shibokuhidesato It's off of the Peacebone single/EP. No idea about the video though.

[gassyjeff]

godshit :)

[snakelake789]

these guys are sooooo goddamn good

[ipodguru12]

fav ac song?

[heysatan8]

Yes, sir, it is!

[sparelead777]

these guys have more emotion in their pinkies than most artists do in their whole body

[PatThePhat1]

@sparelead777 i need to put them next to The Smiths for emotion

[Squizeto]

@sparelead777 one dead pinky

[Squizeto]

@sparelead777 one dead pinkies.

[SadieElizabethh]

@sparelead777 you mean drugs?

[DAvonzoAllDay]

whta the hell is this video.

[TheDerkable]

Wow this song is the shit.

[Cizcan]

Which Sherlock Holmes is this?

[PerfectInsideCradle]

Jeremy Brett as Holmes in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" which ran from 1984 -94 in the Uk & is a damn fine series, highly recommend tracking it down if you can.

[Doublewire]

I thought he was going to drink that shit he poured out.

[OGARAINTDEAD]

What if I'm not alright?

[horhey4]

I'm alright

[drockmuthafucka]

hey guys, just letting you all know, i'm alright if you're alright.

[OGARAINTDEAD]

@drockmuthafucka I'm alright.

[unclemeat2u]

@drockmuthafucka

I"m alrgighightigh.t.

[michhhhhael]

@drockmuthafucka aight

[hampsterbb]

<3 animal collective xD

[Erikvanliktenstein]

[Cizcan]

This song means a lot to me. A lot more than most songs.

[anabanita125]

what album is this from?

[kappav2]

@anabanita125 on the Peacebone single.

[zn3ss]

@anabanita125 Grass EP. Pretty hard to find.

[LidotreVaenigne]

Peacebone EP, silly.
