Of all the songs I've tried to teach myself on guitar, this is hands down the hardest of them all. Grizzly Bear's guitarist on this album is insanely skilled to compose and play this so well.
I think it's important to listen to this song, then listen to the version from the Friend EP that's electric and think about how much the band has changed. This was impressive. This was amazing and beautiful, but later I feel like they figured out they can be less complex to be more emotional and that's where the band really hit their stride. Don't get me wrong, this album is amazing! It's the first of theirs I owned and I bought it for myself as a birthday present after listening to them for a while, I don't think this is bad, I think they just used this song as a learning experience.
Wide eyed and up in arms, my little brother was a solemn one. He always had his quiet corner. Pride of my countrymen, my little brother will be born again. Just give us back our quiet corner. Now go back to the other side of my bed. I'll go back to the place where you get started. And I'll sleep, just put the pillows under my head
I've only ever listened to this album, idk if the others are good but I was super disappointed to find this isn't on Tidal and I no longer have a copy of it, time to replace it.
Is this a summoning song? I mean really, the lyrics"My little brother will be born again..." sound like they're gunna bring his perfect little brother back from death. Talk about subliminal messaging. No wonder my parents insist that I listen to demonic music... Still a damn good song though

Daniel Rossen, my friend. Check out his KEXP live solo performance....
Agreed 100%
How can you dislike this song? :'(
Bet it’s got something to do with the ad at the “end”of the song.
wow, never heard the second half of this...it's like you turned the corner and walking towards the light of the album picture
good king christ i am so high.
I have no brothers, but this song makes me feel like I’m mourning the loss of one
all this superior sound art, I legit use this for mindfulness meditation. GOAT
Wide eyed, and up in arms.
I am melting into the furniture.
I call my big brother my little brother.
It's the other brother I have Jerry.
Jerry Is jealous of Stanley.
Stanley is jealous of jerry.

If you really like this, the others are definitely worth your time!
Little late but imo all the albums are great (except the last one)
Touch of Beatles in this I think
shadeofthetrees Yeah, there's definitely a heavy influence in all of their music
I hear beach boys and their exotica sound too

I think this is more about war and how it changes those involved.
LOL
