What Would I Want? Sky (Album Version)

[LieutenantSarcasm26]

trippyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Colourbend]

I've never done drugs and I love animal collective, I don't understand why the two are linked so heavily

[Re8eccAlice]

I swear to God that sound at 0:12 is from Legend of Zelda.It's from when you enter the Twilight. Don't question me.

[jamalam17z7]

@Re8eccAlice You just busted the code, my friend

[iamrichardtheadult]

I like how this song is in 7/8 time, it adds a depth and unpredictability that makes the song very special indeed.

Private's Log, Day 12

74MFoster took off 15 days before we left searching for jagursfan100's downed comment. Worried that he may not be alive for much longer without provisions. Bringing "Fall Be Kind" along to lift his spirits when we find him...

[74MFoster]

Captains Log, Day 27: I'm low on food, water, and toiletries. Still trying to fins jagursfan100's comment. the people must know.

[MrHabenero]

WEED + THIS SONG = ADVENTURE!

[davidasleep01]

Fuck the Grateful Dead. Wow! What the hell! Awesome on ever level! Blow my mind. These guys did with this song

[thedarkesthole]

I mean does anyone else hear that? does this sound anything like R&B whiteboy soul boyband ? or does this sound like psychedelic pop? I thought it sounded like psychedelic pop but maybe i'm crazy

[thedarkesthole]

two summers ago i went to my friend Ben's appartment. I gave him four hits of the best lsd i had gotten that particular summer. I put on this album. Bewildered, he said to me during this particular track, "You know...I KNOW i've heard this before...but I dont remember this ever sounding a thing like this."

[thelastlittlemonster]

This is one of those songs that you can listen to no matter what type of mood your in....love it

[soulseeker300]

i never listened to this quite this way.. i feel relieved :-)

[ariel12955]

3:08 and onward sounds like The Backstreet Boys on an acid trip.

[TheOneartist]

Backstreet Boys? o_0 That's a Grateful Dead sample!

[thedarkesthole]

@ariel12955 what the fuck? backstreet boys? yeah i dunno man

[ariel12955]

@thedarkesthole Yes, the fuckin' Backstreet Boys.

[thedarkesthole]

@ariel12955 dude I dunno maybe you're too tripped out cuz I dont hear that at all. All i hear is amazing

[ariel12955]

@thedarkesthole Haha your probably right...the first time I listened to this was right after I smoked 3 bowls off a gravity bong sooo yeeeeaaaahhh...

[TheDragonoxx]

2:23 to 3:10 reminds me of fall so much

[MrESNTT]

Amazing Beautiful song! 7-beat, all the way through. I love to count it in different ways... depends on whether I'm bobbin' my head to it, or drumming along with it. One of my all-time favorite songs. *ever*. I listen to it therapeutically, sometimes. I think of AC's music as Spiritual... ElectroTribal Shamanism.

[alpereren619]

I listened to this song really high last night and I heard every single sound/noise they used to make this song and my god these guys are geniuses 

[thetiltroom]

I hear A bit of a moby influence. Good stuff

[Ford8844]

Why aren't any of the other Fall Be Kind songs on youtube? Great EP.

[multinationalfunding]

What would you do with a shrink ray?

[kaako86]

A beautiful young lady just introduced me to this song on chatroulette but my browser froze and I lost connection. Where are thou, my poet?

[deadgalsdontcry]

@kaako86 someone just showed me this song on Chatroulette :DD

[123ThinkABC]

Grilled cheeeeeeeese

[xxZeroZonexx]

@123ThinkABC Don't need a burger don't need no shake

[TheSarahecky]

do you get up up up

[McGrupp34]

@notmyhomies welcome to the world of dd time signatures... 1234567 1234567... music isnt always about dancing to it, appreciate it for what it is

[notmyhomies]

drum groove pisses me off so much... i can't dance to this yo

[TheOneartist]

@notmyhomies LOL You can't dance to this, but I can.

[natashaburch11]

I love this. SO.MUCH.

[noisez13000]

one of the greatest songs ever. imo

[xxZeroZonexx]

I'm alright :)

[Pooploops666]

I love this song, especially this line:

I should be floating, but I'm weighted by thinking.

[DangTheWang12]

this is the only band the sample dead...legally anyways.

[yoshortyb]

jerry garcia, isnt the one singing in this, it phil lesh from gd

[DangTheWang12]

whoa,willow sky , who, willow sky

[TheSholzy]

immediate respect for any band that samples the dead/has love for jerry...we are everywhere. 

[StuHutch]

Does anyone here not believe in alternate time signatures?

[STEEZEMCGEE]

grateful dead sample~~~~~

[BWLGeorge]

@STEEZEMCGEE Yessss! I have to admit that I heard the Grateful Dead song second, but I was just looking through a list of songs that are in septuple meter because they're my favorite time signatures (This song and Unbroken Chain both have parts in 7/4) and I saw Unbroken Chain and I like Grateful Dead, so listened to it and recognized that Animal Collective sampled it.

[STEEZEMCGEE]

1999-2011 yeppp there still fucking gnarly as fuck!!!!

[strawberryy3]

is that jerry?

[STEEZEMCGEE]

@strawberryy3 yes why yes it is

[strawberryy3]

ttaly still not the album version but .....

[avninder]

Holy Shit!!! The best song from one of the best bands still around!



[avninder]

Favorite song by one of my favorite new bands.... Keep the kaleidoscope going!!!

[masontv0]

CRUEL TV CRUEL TV CRUEL TV

[xetbxoxo]

volume up, bass up, windows down, hitting a blunt, summer time, this song.

what is better in life?

[alternativeviola]

3:19 okay that's just trippy. The main vocal melody is offset a beat early from the "what would i want sky?" sample. So not only is this song in 7/8, its in a staggered pattern. Yet it grooves so naturally. hot damn.

[waggatron1]

just beautiful

[hemymariobro]

Is everything alright, you feeling moany? you feeling lonely? You're not the only....

[nedders14]

i hate when it ends

[vincentros84]

4:07 enter heaven

[nokturnal5647]

Easily my favorite track from the Fall Be Kind EP. Just perfect.

[jessekillerkay]

man i just wish i was there when phil lesh heard this and was like "right on!" use the song!

[joshuaclaytondavis]

@SeanIsaacBillings Although your ears interpret these electronic swirling sounds as some crazy new phenomenon in music there really isn't much going on here in this song. If this song is this bands "Holy Grail" and you honestly believe that the Grateful Dead sucks in comparison (which is stupid to do in itself) you either haven't tried to or your mind cannot grasp the concept of the Grateful Dead.

[eyetranceend]

@joshuaclaytondavis Not much going on? Compared to what? Casey Jones and its lazy campfire strumming? I would never speak ill of The Dead, but I doubt they would want you defending them in this way. I personally like Animal Collective better. If there's not much going on in this song (which is about 78 layers deep - I think you're hearing is damaged), then A Day in the Life must be hollow garbage. Point is, it's all just music. Now everybody shut up, Animal Collective is on.

[thepurplebottle6]

<3 AC

[youstupidiot818]

the acl lineup for 2011 would be so much better if animal collective was coming. fuuuuuck!

[EskimoTrousers]

why can't this song last for eternity?

[llamasarus1]

such a good intro. i don't get how they create such music

[McLaReN212]

kinda gay, except for the dead sample which wasn't used that well

[Luv8sU213]

This song makes me optimistic about humanity... until it ends.

[ElectroFunkRevival]

My favorite song, and it's not even close. In the verse where Avey and Panda Bear split off it's like you can ride either voice as the melody and the other as the backing. Experience the same song in a totally different way.

[iammejez]

@ElectroFunkRevival well said, good to know that others notice these beautiful intricate sounds that AC make

[EnokiSkai]

that's how you sample. Sometimes artists call sampling taking like an entire melody of a song...

[IWantSky]

Mad fucking props to whoever wrote the beat for the first half of this. They don't use typical sounds that somebody would use to make a sweet groove but they still make perfect sense in the context of this song. It's like a sonic swirl of beautiful cymbals emphasizing particular rhythms perfectly, with a fat bass drum sound to keep the forward motion of the song. I mean seriously, this song is in 7/8 and that beat is so fat it's just oozing with groove.

[misslizziebeth27]

@IWantSky you seem like a generally cool person(:

[IWantSky]

@misslizziebeth27 I wish... ;)

[MrMayreck]

face melt

[MeganTea]

thank you animal collective.

[jaguarsfan100]

@MeganTea you should be thanking the Dead

[IWantSky]

@jaguarsfan100 For the 2 second sample that sounds nothing like the original song? It pisses me off how many people think that The Grateful Dead deserve credit for this song. Animal collective obviously put so much work into this piece of art and made (in my opinion) one of the best songs of this decade. They did an amazing job of using the sample subtly, but prominent enough to take this song to a completely new level. They gave them the credit they deserve.

[SeeDalton]

@IWantSky I think that the use of Greatful Dead's song should be mentioned but I totally agree with what you're saying. They did sample that song but it sounds nothing like it. And this song is for sure one of the best songs made this decade, possibly one of their best songs ever.

[MrJas1991]

I should be floating but I'm weighted by thinking

[multiplekills]

you feeling stormy you feeling phoney

[LieutenantSarcasm26]

Aw man this song just reaks of pure awesomeness...and a little bit of marijuana if i'm not mistaken?

[kalvin1226]

@LieutenantSarcasm26 yessssssss...............

[StigmisIgnited]

@LieutenantSarcasm26

actually acid.

no one can really appreciate their music until they've tripped. imo

[junka22]

@StigmisIgnited I don't think that's true, and I have listened to AC while on acid and yeah it was amazing, but I think creative people have that world with them at all times, easier to access with psychedelics sure, but these inner worlds travel with us everywhere I believe

[thedarkesthole]

@junka22 couldnt agree more. I'd say that with lsd and animal collective, you're provided with two seperate amazing songs for each track. How it sounds amazing sober. and then how it sounds when you're tripping. you get two songs.

[jaypens92]

1 person lives underground

[bilseo1]

love animal collective and it took me this long to discover this song who am i

[TheeFlintRoss]

Favorite part, "stop daydreaming dude"

[TigerLily704]

Can't stop listening.

[gamexprt1]

At first I thought this song sounded like a more complex 90's pop song, but now I love it!

[JTF2021]

What is Avenged Sevenfold doing in my sidebar? You don't belong here, GET OUT.

[Sheeeeepies1]

This is beautifull.

[ramjetross]

GRILL CHEEEEEEEESSSEE GRILL CHEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSEE GRILL CHEESE GRILL CHEESE

[brainsofitall8]

@ramjetross VIPaL?

[mrsaganscosmos]

@ramjetross A hearty lol :)

[SleeperFactory5]

this song is so awesome it's like being submerged in a pile of leaves and having a strong chilly wind blow them away

[yomain222]

@SleeperFactory5 thats crazy

[vennombrand]

OMG, my mind is blown!!!!

[woahhnelliez]

Love this song, so fucking much. It makes me feel better whenever I feel like shit.

[vennombrand]

@woahhnelliez so would hittin a j lol

[ArmoredFelix]

@woahhnelliez That's because you don't worship Hitler as the God he is.

[ladyjane22100]

@ArmoredFelix wtf?

[ArmoredFelix]

@ladyjane22100 Are you denying Hitler his Godhead?

[ladyjane22100]

@ArmoredFelix um yes hittler is no god...dumbass

[ArmoredFelix]

@ladyjane22100 Then you are obviously insane.

[tomers113]

@ArmoredFelix Hitler is a master in hermetic magic.

[ArmoredFelix]

@tomers113 Here's someone that has it figured out.

[ladyjane22100]

@ArmoredFelix no your are just messed up like fucked up in the head

[ArmoredFelix]

@ladyjane22100 Go ahead and believe the lies about Mein Fuhrer!

[ladyjane22100]

@ArmoredFelix yea i kinda am bc hes no god...?

[ArmoredFelix]

@ladyjane22100 Of course he's no God, however he's not nearly the evil tyrant that is portrayed in the media.

[ladyjane22100]

@ArmoredFelix you do know he killed millions of innosent people with toucher right?

[ArmoredFelix]

@ladyjane22100 I'm assuming you mean torture. No he didn't, wake up to the lies around you. Yes some of the prisoners were starved. Because the Jews had tricked the rest of the world into going against him. He had limited resources. So who gets the food? Your soldiers or the prisoners? POW's by the way were always treated with the utmost respect and dignity.

[ArmoredFelix]

@ladyjane22100 You don't have the certainty of your beliefs? Well Mein Fuhrher is a kind and loving God. I am sure he will not allow your doubt to color his decision about you.

[ArmoredFelix]

@ladyjane22100 You deny Hitler's Godhead, and you think I"m the one fucked up in the head? LOL oh dear lord.

[ArmoredFelix]

@ArmoredFelix Hitler is a god!

[TheSarahecky]

@woahhnelliez YES.

[mizterbrown]

grey's where that color should be

[slugdogcaps]

Best damn song ever.

[Drexar92]

Animal Collective are the single greatest psychedelic band of our generation . This song to me is like the grateful dead passing on the torch, after this (Unbroken Chain) being the first song they ever released to anyone. Incredible

[MrAaron528]

perfect song to listen to when your stoned

[rictuar]

diggin teh album version

[asdfghjklSB]

I love this song so much its so amazing.

[ArmoredFelix]

@asdfghjklSB I hate you far more than I hate Hitler.
