I absolutely agree and think they are the number one most inventive group of the 21st century, yet sadly many people deny their musical brilliance. It is what it is tho
sung tongs is one of my favorite anco albums. sigh. so beautiful! Prospect Hummer.. Spirit.... Feels!!! pretty much every album. this band changed my life
Me showing my best friend Animal Collective in 2004: "WTF is this shit? How can you listen to this?" My best friend in 2009 with the release of Merriweather: "Animal Collective is my favorite band too."
I loaded up this video while I was peaking on acid and the opening note combined with the fading in of the album art freaked me the fuck out so I had to close the window and go back to watching the lo-fi chillhop raccoon until I calmed down
This house is sad Because he’s not Inside it Where does he hide When someone comes, To the front door There’s no one, there’s no one There's no one, no one There’s no one, there’s no one There's no one, no one There's no one to say meow Meow Kitties
this girl named sally i used to know posted this song over a decade ago, from time to time i think about it and come here to revist this song. life is weird. happy to be here still, have lost a lot of people along the way since then.
You guys i just found out about this band because I wanted to get into some indie music idk if this would be indie music but whatever it is I looove it this is the first song I heard from them.
Sounds like the Beach boys on acid! This sounds awesome on monitor speakers. I hope they can keep revisiting "Sung Tongs" and do another album in a similar context. That is where this band shines in my opinion. Great production, melodies and harmonies.
taste, winters love, reverend green, fireworks, chocolate girl, purple bottle, grass, my girls, banshee beat, brothersport...i could go on but i really recommend the albums strawberry jam, MPP, sung tongs and spirit they've gone spirit they've vanished but that's a bit harder to get into IMHO
they should bring back the record that was sent out to space with all the planet earth songs and get it out back with this album only. aliens will be grateful.
I'd recommend you listen to their albums, but if you don't have that much patience here are some highlights: Winters Love, Banshee Beat, Loch Raven, In The Flowers, My Girls, Brothersport(all of MPP really)
What about Visiting Friends, Bat You'll Fly, Kids On Holiday, Guy's Eyes, The Bees, Alvin Row, Summertime Clothes, Safer, Unsolved Mysteries and Taste.
People need to thumbs up this 'tonydark6' comment, cos he's speaking sense and not spreading some overused 'joke' always found in the top comments section.
Happy 20th Sung Tongs
That's crazy. Time is so weird.
Somehow I find the way "no one no one no one no one" builds up and up to be so very uplifting
dude, yes
it’s like the whole song is describing some problem, and the build-up is the confidence to overcome it
lol idk
I know I totally agree lol It's really comforting and uplifting
Wow, haven't heard this in over ten years, when I was in high school. Brings back memories.
old
Whether you love or hate AC, you can't deny their musical brilliance. This song is tops.
100%
10000%
10000.025%
Yup
I absolutely agree and think they are the number one most inventive group of the 21st century, yet sadly many people deny their musical brilliance. It is what it is tho
My cat always acts weird when I play this song. It must be some sort of animal magic.
Lmmfao
Cat is horny
haha, lol.
Too many fucking noises at once probably?
They know
I was pleased and surprised to hear this song in The Goldfinch!
same here, song has helped me through so many hardships and whaddya know! it's in the film for my favorite book
kitties
T i d d i e s
Meowww
meow (like da cat)
sung tongs is one of my favorite anco albums. sigh. so beautiful! Prospect Hummer.. Spirit.... Feels!!! pretty much every album. this band changed my life
still my favorite animal collective song
Isn't it just perfect?
what about did you see the words or banshee beat?
For me the battle is between Leaf House and Loch Raven
LH is the most interesting and LR is the most beautiful
April and the Phantom
Alvin fucking Row
me and my friends drink and smoke up to this song all the time, truly a masterpiece
The Goldfinch reference

casual
I will always remember this song as my introduction to these guys back in high school--maybe the prime time to start listening
This song is made of weird ancient memories
Ikr!
true, true, havent been able to quite describe it
exactly
Reality just feels like one perpetual Animal Collective song.
I know it's been a year but are you okay??
@@courtjester6375 what a weird year, ha.
yum yum yum my
That's because it is one Animal Collective song?
Also sorry for the necropost
@@courtjester6375 m
I haven't heard this for years. Gave me chills when it started.
this is the most beautiful song ever i love yall sm
@mijotheriverforever yessss I agreeee
this is one of the most crazy songs I've EVER heard! Rhythmic but CRAZZZZZZZY
Luksi92 look into maps and atlases. specifically the album trees swallows houses
@@thedangersofoxygen135 thank you
I am a superior human being because I appreciate this band.
Stfu nerd
Yes
You have to have a high IQ to appreciate it
NERDS!
stop
This house is sad
Because he’s not
Inside it
Where does he hide
When someone comes,
To the front door
There’s no one, there’s no one
There's no one, no one
There’s no one, there’s no one
There's no one, no one
There's no one to say meow
Meow
Kitties
I think the lyric is “theres no one to show me how. Meow” think its about Lennox’s father who passed
KITTIES
Song brings me back to certain times in life. Animal Collective is awesome
meeeooow
This song is freaking amazing
IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS FOR MONTHS AND FINALLY FOUND IT IM SO HAPPY
This, We Tigers, Who Could Win a Rabbit and Kids on Holiday are insanely brilliant :'D
I could never truly appreciate the earrape at the beginning but I think I'm getting it now thanks guys
Have you listened to "spirit they're gone, spirit they've vanished" yet?
"Kitties" at 2:32 is the best!
animal collective never cease to amaze me
This song is about a dog being home alone.
I havent heard fhis since 2020
i love their new stuff, i love their old stuff. i just love this band, in all their many weird shapes and colors. long live animal collective!!
Some of my favorites are Who Could Win a Rabbit, Did you See the Words, Reverend Green, Grass,... Really every song.
One of the best songs evr. Haunting
Strong contender for best song anyone has ever made
Ugh this song is fantastic.
this girl named sally i used to know posted this song over a decade ago, from time to time i think about it and come here to revist this song. life is weird. happy to be here still, have lost a lot of people along the way since then.
I can't get into AC at all, but I really dig this.
If you like this check out the album called "Feels". Specifically "did you see the words" and "purple bottle"
john green
@@concars1234 i love this song to bits but those tracks rub me the wrong way for some reason. I really enjoyed Bees and daffy duck and Loch raven tho.
@@concars1234 Yeah boi Sung Tongs and Feels are probably their masterpieces I'd say
@@vincehenriquez680 whole heartedly agree. With the addition of STGSTV
such a lovely little song meow
dude every song they made is brilliant .
Everyone is going to end up suggesting every other song from AnCo's entire discography at this rate. X)
This house is rad
This house is sad :)
I am glad this was a significant part of my teenage years. I don't love this group at all, but this song is amazing.
You guys i just found out about this band because I wanted to get into some indie music idk if this would be indie music but whatever it is I looove it this is the first song I heard from them.
Yeah I would probably say its indie
Such a classic
Sounds like the Beach boys on acid! This sounds awesome on monitor speakers. I hope they can keep revisiting "Sung Tongs" and do another album in a similar context. That is where this band shines in my opinion. Great production, melodies and harmonies.
Syro Nesis The Beach Boys were The Beach Boys on acid.
TheZombieJC Aahahahaha thats just fantastic
if you like this listen to their prospect hummer ep
Yea this reminds me of Smiley Smile.
The Beach Boys are one of their influences, especially for Noah.
This song is amazing.
Why is it called a house of leaves?
na moral, isso é muito bom!
genius genius genius !!
I always thought this song had an official video with stop motion leaves
taste, winters love, reverend green, fireworks, chocolate girl, purple bottle, grass, my girls, banshee beat, brothersport...i could go on but i really recommend the albums strawberry jam, MPP, sung tongs and spirit they've gone spirit they've vanished but that's a bit harder to get into IMHO
This sounds like such a happy song for one revolving around grieving a lost pet
or a dead father (?)
@@youtub-fj8mu meow
I've always thought it was a pet (cat) that was afraid to answer the door.
i relate this song to a father who left or an ex that you used to live with and now everything reminds you of them
YAS!
*nuts to the singer seductively meowing *
Kitties!! Meow!
KITTIES!
kitties :3
Love this song 💙💚💛🧡❤️
I named my son after Panda Bear.
Wait, you named your son Panda Bear?
ADORABLE.
Astro That's probably the cutest name ever. 🐼
Poor devil
I hope not.
Extraordinaire
very pog
i need some recommendations of songs by animal collective as good as this or that sound like this.
they should bring back the record that was sent out to space with all the planet earth songs and get it out back with this album only. aliens will be grateful.
House of leaves anyone?
leaves house? :)
no one , no one , no one
no one , no one , no one
....
And the ending is The Familiar.
I just read the familiar, but I havent started house of leaves
I'd recommend you listen to their albums, but if you don't have that much patience here are some highlights: Winters Love, Banshee Beat, Loch Raven, In The Flowers, My Girls, Brothersport(all of MPP really)
Totally diggin them awesome trip vibes! Much love from Denver, Colorado
best song ever
amazeballz
I really wish I would've done that acid yesterday now.
Danielle Haim brought me here!
best song

Amazing. Simply amazing.
why do I like this lol
Cause e verve
cus you have good taste
All of them.
Taste! Winter's love
can someone tell me if those beautiful sharp tick sounds come from a cowbell?
kitties!
I'm too petrified to take hallucinogenics. But I imagine Sung tongs is what the most peaceful mushroom trip with no paranoia feels like
Nice
this house is sad because he’s not inside it
where does he hide when someone comes to the front door
there’s no one to say meow
winter's love, the purple bottle, brothersport, summertime clothes, taste, water curses
Has the same backing chorus as cabinessence
Kitties
This song is so fucking good
inspiradores
This song puts me in a nice daze
I thought that said snug thongs at first 😂
What about Visiting Friends, Bat You'll Fly, Kids On Holiday, Guy's Eyes, The Bees, Alvin Row, Summertime Clothes, Safer, Unsolved Mysteries and Taste.
why are josh and brian credited as composers?
Nice band!
People need to thumbs up this 'tonydark6' comment, cos he's speaking sense and not spreading some overused 'joke' always found in the top comments section.
What about did you see the words, the purple bottle, chores, bees, and daffy duck?
Here i am again.
LOVE
fantastic, no dislikes :)
Looks like we’ve come full circle
UUUUUUUUHHHHHEEEEEE ❤
