Animal Collective - Visiting Friends

[normtheclone]

Hey has anyone else hallucinated some of the sound effects they use in their songs? Because sometimes when I trip I hear some of the same exact sounds they use. For example, in this song, you hear a lot of "shooooong shwiiiingggg chwoooooooooon" sounds. I always fucking hear those when I trip! wtf that is so crazy

[Ninjawood7]

I was trippin out on this song and it sounded like that voice in the background was saying magic mushroom. 8:27... I'm not sure what it's saying but it's still awesome

[MrLeeKnees]

You'd think a duration of over 10 minutes would be justified by great music; you'd be wrong.

[TheHeadlineEel]

(Hypothetically) If I were stranded on an island and was able to listen to 1 song, I would listen to this on repeat until I die.

[alexmutz1]

@TheHeadlineEel EEL!!!!!!

[PuffBunny1]

Just in case you guys didn't know, this song is exactly the same backwards.

Animal Collective are possibly the most amazing band ever.

[SclafaniBagni]

@PuffBunny1 I'm sorry but I have to call you out on your bullshit, sir/madam. This song is absolutely not the same backwards. The dynamics of the song steadily increase, the "hey!" chant in the background doesn't kick in until 4 minutes left or so.

[PuffBunny1]

@SclafaniBagni I'm really sorry about that, I guess Animal Collective aren't amazing. I apologize.

[SclafaniBagni]

@PuffBunny1 I forgive you. I hope we can still be friends.

I heard a bird in the windowpane. You rolled up your grass____? But the comfort to know what visiting is. ____? Wanting to be friends. The way that they smell. The light hits them differently. The sheets they get cold. The windows are cracked. The posters that fill it, All the — spread around, We were visiting mine.

[GravesbSuper]

We were visiting friends and saying hello .Then getting stoned and not saying much, Watching the people on TV who talk faster than us. I’m still holding the cup, ignoring the sound of the ice cream truck. ____? She had visiting moods. What it wants to be. We were visiting friends. ____?

[FFScantgetadamnname]

ah man.. this is so beautiful.. im crying

[SacredNonsense]

What's not been born can't die. What you really are is all there actually is anywhere in anything or anyone and that's why it's all that lasts. You'll watch your mind, your body and your whole identity die the same way you watched it be born, and then you'll forget it ever existed. As will "everyone else." It'd be a tragic loss if you ever had anything in the first place, but there's nothing there to be had. Let the phenomena play.

[Necryte]

Someone is going to be a dubstep remix of this probably. lol

[Arcturusalt]

This song kept me from going insane on deliriants

Thank you song, for warding off all those invisible spiders, bees, and centipedes, for getting rid of that impending feeling of doom, and last but not least, thank you for letting me visit my friends (even if they turned out to be shadow people in the end)

[FFScantgetadamnname]

this song makes me cry like a baby.. its just so beautiful.

[lmfviolet78]

I swear I hear Smeagol talking in the background

[JetWolfe77]

its honestly a journey, to best explain this track. Where, the captain isn't quite sure where he is going, but we just buckle up and travel in a easily trusted direction

[CHADandTracyLoveYou]

Soul Satisfied.

[CrossBallsFULL]

I wish we could live forever =[ I believe in god but not religion, none of them make sense when everything physical in this world does. I don't mean to bash religion, I am just depressed by this realization. Sorry about the melancholy thoughts, but this video reminds me of the past when I was innocent and when these thoughts never occurred.

[LotusJet]

@CrossBallsFULL Just remember that no one knows what lies at the moment of death. I've had anxiety over death as well, but really its just about living the most meaningful life so that way when you die, you just enjoy the next journey to come :)

[phase866]

In a sense, this track would feel just right for visiting friends from long ago, or for just inspiring nostalgia... On that day when you're in the passenger seat of that car, on the highway staring at the blue sky and the white clouds...

[ck675]

This song makes me feel heavenly

[TRESJOE]

When I first heard this, I had a vision, and it has grown since then I am grateful

[elsureno]

I just played this backwards... holy... shit... haha.It sounds like it says "We've got to get outta here" pretty eerie but awesome sounding. I would imagine it like as if we were single celled organisms being viewed by an alien life

[SpritBear1]

This video deserves to have the full song with it. That was fantastic cha. It'd be twelve minutes well spent rather than the ten I just enjoyed.

[LucasTannerAnonymous]

tripping to this is a religious experience like no other. AnCo is indescribable, words can't express how I feel about this song.

[gutendawg]

I lucid dreamed to this song once.

[Galoag2012]

@gutendawg a lucid dream to two songs in the past one was personal jesus by depeche mode and the other one was devil's wating by brmc... i sure would love to lucid dream to this song

[ashleyinshockPrdctns]

I feel like I just spent a beautiful day with nobody.. this video is amazing.

[Anders898Avey]

This song is a perfect reason to live life

[DaveTheBluesGuy]

this song on acid..... WOW

[MatthewProulx93]

@DaveTheBluesGuy , This song period, wow.

[DaveTheBluesGuy]

@MatthewProulx93 no i love animal collective but i listened to them trippin the other day for the first time and it just sounded entirely phenomenal

[coolgamer14]

can some1 reload this song? you can now load up to 15 mins

[Paycheck125]

Sometimes they're saying "visiting friends." How nice.

[KloiShawahalA]

esta canción es simplemente mágica. Te lleva a universos paralelos y sientes la cercanía de algo, alguien... alguna energía tan linda que de verdad crees que estás visitando a algún muy buen amigo ♥

¿Por qué 'AnimalCollective' serán tan geniales? ¿ Por qué, por qué?!

hahahaaha *_____________________________­*

[NeglectedCobra]

@KloiShawahalA Es muy cierto.

[GoodMomo]

I can never forget my ex thanks to this song. We were making love the first time I ever listened to it, and it's embeded there forever. It felt like it lasted an hour. It was about 1pm, with the sunlight coming in through the window, only us, and this blissful music. A really good experience.

[PaganGold]

@GoodMomo what happend to you guys?

[KidAmnesiack]

Listening to this song is great. Listening to this song stoned is life-changing. Thank you, Animal Collective.

[somekindofmonster13]

@KidAmnesiack When I used to smoke, felt the same... several times!

[AuthenticCelestial]

nothing sounds better when the sun is oppressively beating down.

[mrsaganscosmos]

love this, its like its own little world. Does anyone else picture creepy forest creatures walking throught the forest to visit their creepy friends?

[Liarsenic777]

this is how i feel right now

like i'm visiting friends.

how wonderful.

[purplequail]

[rickmoranisFTW]

[KonMan06]

[DoubleBassAlejo]

I appreciate what you wrote in your description. It really is a shame that it cannot be fully listened to on youtube..
