Panda Bear’s new album ‘Buoys’ will be released February 8th 2019 on Domino Record Co. Pre-order here: smarturl.it/PandaBearBuoys More from Panda Bear on UA-cam: smarturl.it/BestOfPandaBear
the visuals perfectly remind me of certain hallucinogens, how fear and desparation might feel insurmountable but then you realize there's nothing to worry about, then you relax as you let go and release the fears
I see this video as being about acquiring/living with chronic illness, physical or mental, and extending that same knowledge and experience to others who suffer similarly. I can certainly relate to learning how to deal with my manic depression in a similar way.
If I was going to interpret it, I'd say it was a metaphor of "being affected by something and trying to live with it." The main character (Be it Noah himself or just someone with similar features) is affected by the plant-thingy. It changes him and he panics a bit at first, but then he just sort of acknowledges it and continues to go on with it still lingering. Then he happens upon someone else who is experiencing the same thing and decides to help him out. Sort of like a: "Hey, I've been there too. Let me help you out." From that shared experience, the two become chums and go on together and repeat the process.
Moontea1 perhaps they are both struggling with the duality of nature and one's own being. They/ we are part of the earth, as demonstrated by the fungi, and early evolutionary beings, the simple organisms which make up much of the world we live in. At first being confused with the idea of self and individuality and the encompassing force which we are all a part of. we could call it, letting go or giving in, however we are as much of it as it is as much as us. this and that.
I've seen panda bear live. And believe me. I was in happy tears. And I'm not one to hype music up like this but seeing him live fucking it up on stage has to be one of the bestest performances I've ever seen. Music for the soul indeed
+squantoh I saw him a few months before this album was released, and to be honest I wasn't all too impressed. Maybe it had to do with me being unfamiliar with the material, but that wasn't an issue when I saw AnCo at Pitchfork fest and they played a bunch of unreleased Centipede Hz stuff. That was the best show I've ever seen haha. But yeah I want to see him solo again, I can't imagine it being anything short of phenomenal.
Reminds me of that weird feeling when you're tripping on shrooms or acid where you feel like something scary has a hold of you, and you fight it for a minute-- until you realize that it's all inside your mind and you're lucid dream-walking in reality... and suddenly it's not scary at all, it's just really fun. And then you see someone else trippin out, panicking, and you help them chill into their high. And then you spot someone really new to drugs who's maybe in over their head, really struggling, maybe even in danger, and you help them out. To me, this song is about the brotherhood of drugs and how you should relax, have fun, master your mind, and help others do the same. Not everyone has the ability to relax on drugs; it takes friends with more experience to help you have fun with it.
I think this video is just supposed to show the struggles we deal with in life. So you watch the one person struggle alone for a while until at some point finding their mate who has struggled with similar issues and they sorta help each other out and fight the struggle together, end eventually bring a child into the world, bringing them happiness. I've heard Noah and read about how Noah's dealt with depression throughout his life and how having children has helped him a lot, because he focuses less on himself, and is more concerned about raising happy healthy kids, rather than being stuck in his mind being overly introspective.
@@GirtsFather I agree. While I may agree for a different reason, I still agree with this. I think bringing a life into this world is one of the greatest gifts, and is very important for most people; however, in my humble opinion, true happiness comes from God, and no worldly things, no matter how beautiful will suffice.
Beautiful. Just my interpretation but considering the lyrics and themes Noah usually sings about, this feels like a meeting with his father, either in a dream or the afterlife, then coming together at the end with Noah's son.
I woke up to this on adult swim at 3am when I was like 17 and on so many drugs.. I got down on my knees, i put my hand on the TV, and just sobbed until it was over.....

I see this as an allegory for life. You become an adult- things get thrown at you left and right and if you're lucky, you meet another person who is also just trying to survive, then you overcoming the unknown together and sacrifice everything to have children. But that's my interpretation- I know Noah is a family man. I also wish I knew where to meet a wife ha. I pray every morning to meet someone great. I have the baby bug.
Same here I'm in that age when I'm really wanting to become a father. I just won't father my children to a horrible mother so I'm waiting for the right one.
Heard this on the strombo show last Saturday, the chanting and production basically had me hypnotized. Phenomenal song and this video is a nice surprise!
Beasts don't have a second to think But we don't appreciate our things Dark cloud Descended again Has a dark cloud descended again And a shadow moves in the darkness Dark cloud Descended again Has a dark cloud descended again And a shadow moves in the darkness Beasts don't have a second to think But we don't appreciate our things
One of the most well made songs I have listened to, it takes a couple of repeats to even understand that there is lyrics. When you do the experience is magical!
Tal vez sea mi imaginación pero es una gran historia, la chica (que todos creen que es chico) conoce a alguien y queda ligada a él por sus mismos defectos o vivencias, se resisten pero al final saben que ambos se naturalizan. Y al final un niño llega a unir más sus vidas. Hermoso.
First time I watched this, I was tripping hard on mushrooms and took me on the craziest journey ! Cause at least for me, it was showing me what I was feeling and going through !! love Panda Bear !
A visual representation of an acid trip. The first person is originally overwhelmed by the sensations, but learns to control them after some time. Later in the journey, they discover someone else in the same ordeal. Using their newfound knowledge they help guide the overwhelmed newbie, and proceed to enjoy their own journeys together. They discover others in the same original state together, and the cycle continues as they act as a mentoring community. My interpretation.
That is surface level, question is, what is this relating to on a real life scale? I don't think this s a control deal, but a 'tolerating' situation, because they present no real control over it, and the visuals relapse when the greenie runs into another person, Yellowie, with the same fate. I think these are actual physical feelings they cannot control, for instance: Tingly arms & legs (see both), weighted legs (blobs), squirming feeling (tentacles), mental clouds, disorientation, and feeling of unease around themselves. So two thirds through the Greenie, loses all the visuals, as if its gone, looking at their hand thinking this same thing, and only relapsed when running into Yellowie, in which it resurfaced, and of course teaching to get through it. Thing is it's worse than before now, and it was completely present until the child. At that point it all dissipated, poof, with the only focus on the child, and a walk on the beach, to that green groggy field is past them. Now I want to say this is drugs, but this is a stretch, for only one reason: No presented Relapse, just the sensations. Not sure what it's relating to but who knows. It is something someone makes a mistake, runs from, deals with the consequences, moves on and helps someone in the same shoes. They deal with the consequences, feeling the fallout, until a child enters their life, and they are well . . . Saved. I'm really tired . . .
You live your life and then life throws all these things at you. You panick, afraid that it will hold you back. But you move on and after a while realise you're still fine. Then you meet someone, who too, get thrown things at him and experiences anxieties. Then you decide to become part of each others life and share the things life throws at you. And then someday you decide that you want to continue the circle, and add a new life to this existence.
This was the song playing during my first and only DMT breakthrough experience. I will never forget it, and this song will always hold a special place for me.
Understand your present your past and your future.......once you focus on your present with the understanding of your past and future,you will then align with the universe frequency that we once had as a child....💡
really glad noah went with adult swim for this, it's a good vector.. might get some decent new people in the fanbase. loving the concept of change and transition expressed as sea squirt blobs. it feels like where I'm at in life right now. kudos to the animators, the dynamic whiplash part between the main gal/guy and the mustache dude is incredible.
Salvia is like this? This reminds me of LSD... I’ve only smoked a little salvia and I remember trying to stand up but could hardly move my legs then we were just nonstop laughing. I didn’t see anything though
This video is great. It really resonated with me and for some odd reason, I feel like I know exactly the message this video is trying to deliver. Young girl wanders the world and comes across a strange creature (drugs), she touches the creature (tries the drug) and she goes into a psychedelic trip. In her trip, the girl comes to the conclusion: we are the earth and the earth is us, everything on earth is us (compassion). She comes back from trip with a greater appreciation for life and all that is within it. She takes a liking to the creature and continues on her travels as a wanderer, an enlightened wanderer. She runs into another wanderer along the way and sees that the wanderer is very involved in the maintaining of his creature. His creature eats at him, there is a look in his eye of shame, "Help...", the look says. She helps him get back on his feet and eventually both of them are able to leave their creatures behind. The travels had brought them closer together and they end up taking a liking to one another. They have a family together at the end and love one another henceforth. Even though they rid their creatures long ago, their was a part in them that was very thankful for the way things happened. Their creatures, had produced the lasting bonds they now shared and they wouldn't have had any other journey. LOVE.
i always thought this video was about the anxiety of recognizing yourself as a "living being", part of the ecosystem and stuff.... notice how she gets calmer when she realises the animals in her surrounding.... even the song is about that in some sort of way ("beasts dont have a second to think but we dont appreciate our things")
"Boys Latin" is a marvel of choir voices to behold IMHO! "Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper" sounds hauntingly enough in its own right, but it is really a religious epiphany from Noah's boyhood that really makes the difference here. A little-known side note about Panda Bear is that Lennox has also stated in interviews that he enjoyed drawing a lot as a teenager, especially pandas, and later started drawing pandas on his early mixtapes. He also studied piano until he was eight, then cello, and later on he sang tenor in his high school chamber choir. Though he and his family have never been very religious, Lennox briefly attended Boston University, where he majored in religion because of his interest in "the concept of God". This music brings about a spiritual feel to me of course, and I think you'll have a heavenly epiphany as well with this LP. Hope that you do! Panda Bear is an American musician, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and co-founding member of the band Animal Collective. In addition to his work with that group, Lennox has released six solo LPs since 1999, with his influential 2007 album "Person Pitch" inspiring numerous soundalike acts. His subsequent albums "Tomboy (2011)", and "Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper (2015)". If you're as familiar with Panda Bears as most of his fans truly are, you'll know his legendary sound, approximating that of the Beach Boys (but not quite). You see Panda Bear has a far more psychedelic electronic approach with harmonies that are wired more than submerged in reverb. This completely changes the dynamics of his music, when compared to anything from the 60s as well. You've really got to hear this for yourself my friends. Pax and love all around, Murf
Okay so i ran into this while on acid and i balled my eyes out. My interpretation of this was that it was a metaphor about sex. The girl willingly tried to touch the subject and enjoys it at first, but the subject wants more and it scares her away. She now realises that this subject has made changes to her body and emotions that she had no previous understanding of and now has to deal with. She deals with it for a while but eventually comes to terms with the changes and learns to control them. She now has her freedom back and chooses to enjoy the view, but happens to notice someone who has fallen deeper into the subject than she had. Perhaps he liked sex a bit too much and it got him stuck in a predicament. Regardless, she helps him up an notices he too is going through these physical and emotional changes, as her emotions too activate from recalling her experience. He struggles to deal with these changes a bit more, but more noticeably is that these emotions seem to want to take him towards her. They both more or less fight the emotions but they cant outrun these feelings. The emotions show them how compatible they are, as if preforming a dance. Finally they both accept their feelings for each other and wonder the world together. Now that they both have each other they tackle the subject that put them in this position, but this time with someone they love and trust. They can finally experience sex as its meant to be, eventually resulting in a child. I cried because i felt the message was. Sex is fun and its everywhere, but only with someone you love can you overcome fear and trauma. Sex is an act sacred to Love.
I was looking for this song for years after a few acid trips . Happy I found it again . Something about the visuals and sound are verb conducive to a trip, have fun friends :)
2015 I broke my leg really bad and had to have surgery to put in plates and screws to repair the bone. I had been out of surgery for about 10 minutes and was high as the clouds when this came on Adult Swim on the TV in my hospital room. I was absolutely encapsulated by this video!
When I heard this song, I froze and quit my business. I closed my eyes and saw the jungle, the leaves in them were wet. The jungles were like gates, they were like an entrance to paradise, if you like, the sun shone there, and far away stood a purple-pink mountain. This is a wonderful piece of music! I haven't heard something like this in a long time. I thank the creator!
That's cool Adult Swim showed this. I felt hipster "I knew him first" for a second but realized I found one of my other favorite bands from Toonami Midnight Run way back when they originally played some Gorillaz videos. So if people find him thanks to that, that's totally great. Those AS guys have impeccable taste in music.
I think its about accepting each other as we are. The main char could be a girl or a boy, it does not matter, but then, he finds the other boy, and they fall in love, have or adopt kids, just like that.
seeing Panda Bear play at Levitation in Austin, Texas was one of the most mind bending experiences....those working the sound and visuals were also freaking amazing.
I fellt like it's about drugs and our relation to that. It's like once you touched it, this experience will be with you forever. And then theres two things: First things is: If you dont be careful this shit will swallow you completely. Second thing is:, once you have been there and you managed to get out (or at least build a sustainable relation to that) it's easier to help other people geting out of the addiction. Because you've been there and you know what ir feels. It's not like someone trying to preach about something they know nothing about. It's a different relation (which allows a different approach to someone who is taking drugs, lika a more comprehensive approach). To me, all the symbology displayed in the video confirms this interpretation. Like, he's used, know it's in him. But he's got to be careful. And then he sees someone stuck into that. He helps him out. And then they both help another kid out. Of course I might be wrong in my point of view, but today I was watching an old skateboard 'hero' of mine (Ali Boulala) talking about drugs and how it's done harm to him and he also talked about how the support of other addicts has helped him (more than anything else) and how he now feels that he can do (or try to do) that to others. I might have gone too far on the explanation, but it's curious how things seems to fit (in a random way) sometimes. I've never been an addict myself but I have close friends who got fucked up on drugs, I have used (and still use sometimes), so I feel like I know what i'm talking about. At least a little bit.
They way I see it is it's about not fighting a high/trip and learning to go with it. Evident with them freaking out then gaining control of themselves. although it's open to interpretation
An actual core memory from adulthood is this song and video coming on Adult Swim during a certain time in my life, at like 2am....hell yeah brooooos🖖🤘🤙
@@aaronjimz Sir! I was only drinking and smoking herb! Lol, also....this was when I was a bottom of the barrel, dirty ol alcoholic lol. That might've had something to do with it too, now that I'm on "the other side" of it 🤷 Fuckit.....dope video and song, I'll take it! 🖖🇺🇸🌎💜
I think this video is about hardship, and how in the end it can be beneficial to us and how those who have undergone hardship can help others experiencing what they experienced. Great music btw.
To me it is like the first guy tried something weird (a possible metaphor for drugs) and is experiencing a very scary reaction and while trying to recover he finds another individual who has tried more of the weird thing and knowing what the scary trip is like he tries to help the 2nd guy before it gets worse and since the 2nd guy was a bit deeper into the hole than the first guy his trip is worse. Then they find the 3rd guy who is already above his head in the hole and it is too late to save him. The hole seems like a metaphor for a deep pit you find yourself in when you do drugs. Sometimes you can be saved before it gets worse and other times it is too late for people who have sunken too deep in that hole. Then there is little to no hope to getting out.
Or perhaps it wasnt about trying something weird, but rather the first guy was actually a GIRL and she finds her love who was deep into the weird psyjelly/shroom/lsd thingalready and thats was how they got connected and finally find their child from the jellyshroom again LOL ~The End.
This video is very much inspired by Shadow of the Colossus, there are lots of references including the lyrics. Even has a track name called "Shadow of the Colossus" and "Lonely Wanderer"!
What I got out of it was that through the journey of life you'll encounter troubling things and sometimes it's really hard to get over it ( all the weird shapes attached to him). Finally he becomes stronger and is able to help the next guy with his problems even taking some of his just to make it easier for his new friend. At the end they meet someone completely devoured by their issues and it seems like theirs nothing they can do but they work together to save him. And now they're strong enough to face life together.
Words cannot describe the feeling i just felt when I looked at the upload date and it said *9 YEARS AGO* I remember watching this on adult swim and being obsessed with this song as a kid
I haven't listened or watch this since 2015 when I was 21 so its funny it just popped up again. Best I can make of it is we all go through our own struggles, or things we deem curses and find others who are cursed and going through struggles, some more engulfed then others, and we just are there to help to pull them out or vice versa depending on what we choose to do or them. That's the importance of others
~LYRICS~ Beasts don't have a sec to think but We don't 'preciate our things but (repeat x6) Dark cloud descended again Has a dark cloud descended again Has a dark cloud descended again And a shadow moves in Dark cloud descended again And a shadow moves in the darkness (repeat x2) Beasts don't have a sec to think but We don't 'preciate our things but (repeat x6)
fuuuug, haha same (first part, not the Evangelion). I could not make the connection that this was Panda. His voice is too embellished with effects and cut up and resampled and what not. Imagery had my scrotum tingling for a month
I saw this as how trauma (ptsd) effects a person and changes their way of life but they learn to live with it. something like that, no matter how small (they only trapped a hand), can effect you deeply. the part where the character meets another person trapped in an anemone and makes contact with them, causing their symptoms to flare up again, is realistic in how surrounding yourself with people who have gone through similar traumas can trigger previous behaviors or ways of thinking that youve learned/are still learning to cope with. i watch this video every once in a while and it gives me hope when i see the new family heal and make it out of that place together.

Or do! Just depends on how deep you wanna go!
Or just be ready for the consequences
This song is very frustrating to look up when you've forgotten the title and artist. But so worth it when you finally find it.
I just remember Boys Latin, cause the videos is of 2 boys
Highly recommend listening to Panda Bear's album Person Pitch if you like this. He might be one of my favorite artists of this decade.
i remember latin bear, but it was indeed frustrating the first time :D
I searched up panda, and the algorithm some how managed to understand what I was referring to
Да как такое название можно забыть.
He has a beautiful voice. Literally sounds like a choir of angels.

it reminds me of salvia, like almost exactly the same how i would describe the trip
Reminds me of regular life after it all.

The lead is a gurl tho.
I thought of the same message
Why is it that every time I listen to this song I end up playing it for like hours on repeat!? Its like an audio/visual full body hug
It’s very hypnotic and soothing. Helps a lot with my anxiety. ✌🏼
It's called stuck
Stuck
same here
Yes the body hug haha I couldn't find the right words for that. Its with the EQ. Like all of panda bears songs

took the words outa my face
I'm high rn and I can 100% confirm that
this is really nice and I enjoyed reading it
just to be clear, you're talking about shrooms and legal drugs specifically, and not things like meth or cocain?
thank you so much for sharing this interpretation. i can relate. if you know the psychedelic realm this seems to be the meaning, no doubt about it.

The pitching up and down an octive for each word that fast is pure talent. Pretty amazing actually. Seeing him play this song live is mesmerizing.

This song sounds like it keeps going sharp, like its changing keys steadily on an incline.
It really does give the same feel as a Shepard tone
Tal vez sea mi imaginación pero es una gran historia, la chica (que todos creen que es chico) conoce a alguien y queda ligada a él por sus mismos defectos o vivencias, se resisten pero al final saben que ambos se naturalizan. Y al final un niño llega a unir más sus vidas. Hermoso.
First time I watched this, I was tripping hard on mushrooms and took me on the craziest journey ! Cause at least for me, it was showing me what I was feeling and going through !! love Panda Bear !
A visual representation of an acid trip. The first person is originally overwhelmed by the sensations, but learns to control them after some time. Later in the journey, they discover someone else in the same ordeal. Using their newfound knowledge they help guide the overwhelmed newbie, and proceed to enjoy their own journeys together. They discover others in the same original state together, and the cycle continues as they act as a mentoring community. My interpretation.
That is surface level, question is, what is this relating to on a real life scale?
I don't think this s a control deal, but a 'tolerating' situation, because they present no real control over it, and the visuals relapse when the greenie runs into another person, Yellowie, with the same fate.
I think these are actual physical feelings they cannot control, for instance: Tingly arms & legs (see both), weighted legs (blobs), squirming feeling (tentacles), mental clouds, disorientation, and feeling of unease around themselves.
So two thirds through the Greenie, loses all the visuals, as if its gone, looking at their hand thinking this same thing, and only relapsed when running into Yellowie, in which it resurfaced, and of course teaching to get through it. Thing is it's worse than before now, and it was completely present until the child.
At that point it all dissipated, poof, with the only focus on the child, and a walk on the beach, to that green groggy field is past them.
Now I want to say this is drugs, but this is a stretch, for only one reason: No presented Relapse, just the sensations. Not sure what it's relating to but who knows. It is something someone makes a mistake, runs from, deals with the consequences, moves on and helps someone in the same shoes. They deal with the consequences, feeling the fallout, until a child enters their life, and they are well . . . Saved.
I'm really tired . . .
You live your life and then life throws all these things at you. You panick, afraid that it will hold you back. But you move on and after a while realise you're still fine. Then you meet someone, who too, get thrown things at him and experiences anxieties. Then you decide to become part of each others life and share the things life throws at you. And then someday you decide that you want to continue the circle, and add a new life to this existence.
I love how by 3:00 the one guy's just like "yeah, this might as well be happening right now."
This was the song playing during my first and only DMT breakthrough experience. I will never forget it, and this song will always hold a special place for me.
Joe Rogan wanna be
Oh wow that’s amazing 🤩
I'd like to have this playing if I can ever figure out how to acquire DMT lol
@@HistoryandReviews Joe Rogan did not invent DMT dumbass.
@@randompersonss8497 never said he did dumbass!
Love you brothers great tune have been listening for years, namaste from India
Live life with the understanding of the present, the memories and the imagination and everything else will make so much sense
Understand your present your past and your future.......once you focus on your present with the understanding of your past and future,you will then align with the universe frequency that we once had as a child....💡
Definitively going to be one of the best songs of the year.
+Sean Deany as in last year
really glad noah went with adult swim for this, it's a good vector.. might get some decent new people in the fanbase.
loving the concept of change and transition expressed as sea squirt blobs. it feels like where I'm at in life right now. kudos to the animators, the dynamic whiplash part between the main gal/guy and the mustache dude is incredible.
when the salvia hits
HIT THAT MUTHAPHUCCIN LIKE
Salvia is like this? This reminds me of LSD... I’ve only smoked a little salvia and I remember trying to stand up but could hardly move my legs then we were just nonstop laughing. I didn’t see anything though
Seriously, it can be too intense
I got the old one I still listen too panda bear is a very important part of ac
man 10 years disappears in a blink. Still a great song. Live, live well folks.
This video is great. It really resonated with me and for some odd reason, I feel like I know exactly the message this video is trying to deliver.
Young girl wanders the world and comes across a strange creature (drugs), she touches the creature (tries the drug) and she goes into a psychedelic trip. In her trip, the girl comes to the conclusion: we are the earth and the earth is us, everything on earth is us (compassion). She comes back from trip with a greater appreciation for life and all that is within it. She takes a liking to the creature and continues on her travels as a wanderer, an enlightened wanderer. She runs into another wanderer along the way and sees that the wanderer is very involved in the maintaining of his creature. His creature eats at him, there is a look in his eye of shame, "Help...", the look says. She helps him get back on his feet and eventually both of them are able to leave their creatures behind. The travels had brought them closer together and they end up taking a liking to one another. They have a family together at the end and love one another henceforth.
Even though they rid their creatures long ago, their was a part in them that was very thankful for the way things happened. Their creatures, had produced the lasting bonds they now shared and they wouldn't have had any other journey.
LOVE.
+Nohkei I am not nuts, I am Nolberto. I think you have me confused for someone else. Sorry.
big mistake
I am confused.
TheTofuGod will you be kind enough to elaborate my good man?
+Nolberto Rezola uhh. im pretty sure this had nothing to do with drugs lmao. you're smoking the wrong weed.
i always thought this video was about the anxiety of recognizing yourself as a "living being", part of the ecosystem and stuff.... notice how she gets calmer when she realises the animals in her surrounding.... even the song is about that in some sort of way ("beasts dont have a second to think but we dont appreciate our things")
This video doesn't match the song 😐 .
so beautiful
"Boys Latin" is a marvel of choir voices to behold IMHO! "Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper" sounds hauntingly enough in its own right, but it is really a religious epiphany from Noah's boyhood that really makes the difference here. A little-known side note about Panda Bear is that Lennox has also stated in interviews that he enjoyed drawing a lot as a teenager, especially pandas, and later started drawing pandas on his early mixtapes. He also studied piano until he was eight, then cello, and later on he sang tenor in his high school chamber choir. Though he and his family have never been very religious, Lennox briefly attended Boston University, where he majored in religion because of his interest in "the concept of God". This music brings about a spiritual feel to me of course, and I think you'll have a heavenly epiphany as well with this LP. Hope that you do! Panda Bear is an American musician, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and co-founding member of the band Animal Collective. In addition to his work with that group, Lennox has released six solo LPs since 1999, with his influential 2007 album "Person Pitch" inspiring numerous soundalike acts. His subsequent albums "Tomboy (2011)", and "Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper (2015)". If you're as familiar with Panda Bears as most of his fans truly are, you'll know his legendary sound, approximating that of the Beach Boys (but not quite). You see Panda Bear has a far more psychedelic electronic approach with harmonies that are wired more than submerged in reverb. This completely changes the dynamics of his music, when compared to anything from the 60s as well. You've really got to hear this for yourself my friends. Pax and love all around, Murf
I used to listen to this song and watch this video SO much as a child- looking back no wonder I turned out so strange 😂 ❤ I love it
You make me feel soooooo old
@@egads3696 LOL
Okay so i ran into this while on acid and i balled my eyes out.
My interpretation of this was that it was a metaphor about sex.
The girl willingly tried to touch the subject and enjoys it at first, but the subject wants more and it scares her away.
She now realises that this subject has made changes to her body and emotions that she had no previous understanding of and now has to deal with.
She deals with it for a while but eventually comes to terms with the changes and learns to control them.
She now has her freedom back and chooses to enjoy the view, but happens to notice someone who has fallen deeper into the subject than she had. Perhaps he liked sex a bit too much and it got him stuck in a predicament.
Regardless, she helps him up an notices he too is going through these physical and emotional changes, as her emotions too activate from recalling her experience.
He struggles to deal with these changes a bit more, but more noticeably is that these emotions seem to want to take him towards her.
They both more or less fight the emotions but they cant outrun these feelings. The emotions show them how compatible they are, as if preforming a dance.
Finally they both accept their feelings for each other and wonder the world together.
Now that they both have each other they tackle the subject that put them in this position, but this time with someone they love and trust.
They can finally experience sex as its meant to be, eventually resulting in a child.
I cried because i felt the message was.
Sex is fun and its everywhere, but only with someone you love can you overcome fear and trauma. Sex is an act sacred to Love.
Jose Salazar lovely sentiment I enjoyed reading your take
Its just dst man
I would be terribly disgusted if i saw this on acid
also the woman matures before the man, & theres the part where she has crabs
I thought they were both men huh
Dude I just saw video on adult swim, fucking awesome
Thought I was the only Nigerian Panda Bear fan lol
Monsieur Uz we be 3.
Man I'm a fan of music
No be lie
wow
This song teaches you to accept what happens and to not fight it
I politely disagree, it reminds me to keep going despite the constant struggle.
It teaches you not to put your finger into strange holes.
@@SzZsoel1 well I flat out refuse to stop doing that
well thats just like your opinion man
OH you are the one who understand the lyrics! :0
I was looking for this song for years after a few acid trips . Happy I found it again . Something about the visuals and sound are verb conducive to a trip, have fun friends :)
this is a chant, a spell. A good treat
Panda Bear is GENIOUS!!!, this everything is so perfect!!
this art style looks like someone tried to combine gorillaz with Wii characters
lol
I'm ok with this
And runescape
I'm getting Adventure Time vibes from this.
Better leave his likes at 420
Ohh man I was wondering if they were gonna do a video for this. So good. Sounds a bit different in pitch, though.
You sound a bit different in pitch.
metallipwn OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Justo Blando i swear yous people on youtube be clownin yeeeyeaa
Person pitch
youtube compression
The best acid trip I've had so far. Thank you!
2015 I broke my leg really bad and had to have surgery to put in plates and screws to repair the bone. I had been out of surgery for about 10 minutes and was high as the clouds when this came on Adult Swim on the TV in my hospital room. I was absolutely encapsulated by this video!
When I heard this song, I froze and quit my business. I closed my eyes and saw the jungle, the leaves in them were wet. The jungles were like gates, they were like an entrance to paradise, if you like, the sun shone there, and far away stood a purple-pink mountain. This is a wonderful piece of music! I haven't heard something like this in a long time. I thank the creator!
What business was it may I ask? And where do you find these purple-pink mountains?
Good luck.
That's cool Adult Swim showed this. I felt hipster "I knew him first" for a second but realized I found one of my other favorite bands from Toonami Midnight Run way back when they originally played some Gorillaz videos. So if people find him thanks to that, that's totally great. Those AS guys have impeccable taste in music.
I think its about accepting each other as we are. The main char could be a girl or a boy, it does not matter, but then, he finds the other boy, and they fall in love, have or adopt kids, just like that.
because there is
Chiron I'm a toaster
seeing Panda Bear play at Levitation in Austin, Texas was one of the most mind bending experiences....those working the sound and visuals were also freaking amazing.
damn thinking back to when this and floridada came out feels like centuries ago
The left and right back and forth vocal panning really hits home on cans. Way to go sonic boom
Es normal soñar casi exactamente algo asi y poder tocar los colores sentirlos sin duda una experiencia muy padre
Just seen this on adult swim like it a lot will check out panda bears other songs
This is the perfect thing to watch/ listen to while tripping omg I love it
My favorite song/video of all time. Not even close
I fellt like it's about drugs and our relation to that. It's like once you touched it, this experience will be with you forever. And then theres two things: First things is: If you dont be careful this shit will swallow you completely. Second thing is:, once you have been there and you managed to get out (or at least build a sustainable relation to that) it's easier to help other people geting out of the addiction. Because you've been there and you know what ir feels. It's not like someone trying to preach about something they know nothing about. It's a different relation (which allows a different approach to someone who is taking drugs, lika a more comprehensive approach). To me, all the symbology displayed in the video confirms this interpretation. Like, he's used, know it's in him. But he's got to be careful. And then he sees someone stuck into that. He helps him out. And then they both help another kid out. Of course I might be wrong in my point of view, but today I was watching an old skateboard 'hero' of mine (Ali Boulala) talking about drugs and how it's done harm to him and he also talked about how the support of other addicts has helped him (more than anything else) and how he now feels that he can do (or try to do) that to others. I might have gone too far on the explanation, but it's curious how things seems to fit (in a random way) sometimes. I've never been an addict myself but I have close friends who got fucked up on drugs, I have used (and still use sometimes), so I feel like I know what i'm talking about. At least a little bit.
They way I see it is it's about not fighting a high/trip and learning to go with it. Evident with them freaking out then gaining control of themselves. although it's open to interpretation
+Jesse B I also think it's about the acknowledgement of existence. That you flow with everything and everything flows with you.
OH MY GOD
THIS SONG
I JUST CAN'T
SINGING STYLE AND THE NOISE AND THE LYRICS - PERFECT
An actual core memory from adulthood is this song and video coming on Adult Swim during a certain time in my life, at like 2am....hell yeah brooooos🖖🤘🤙
Acid will do that to you.....
@@aaronjimz Sir! I was only drinking and smoking herb! Lol, also....this was when I was a bottom of the barrel, dirty ol alcoholic lol. That might've had something to do with it too, now that I'm on "the other side" of it 🤷 Fuckit.....dope video and song, I'll take it! 🖖🇺🇸🌎💜
It's good to meet a fellow listener
@@spoonyg419Both shittier for you than acid
Off the Air is goated
I think this video is about hardship, and how in the end it can be beneficial to us and how those who have undergone hardship can help others experiencing what they experienced. Great music btw.
my favorite songs/video of all time. Not even close
this song gives my whole body chills
FR I remember this from off the air
As a lover of electro and our long lost friend industrial music ....this is such a welcome treat and is another layer too!peace christo
Industrial is far from dead! Check out the label Boringmachines out of Italy for one.
Christo Roppolo there is always early ministry and the faint.
that dude with the moustache got a bad trip, poor thing 💙
The power to not stop walking when there are problems and to help others if you have already been through it.
10 years ago!!!!
To me it is like the first guy tried something weird (a possible metaphor for drugs) and is experiencing a very scary reaction and while trying to recover he finds another individual who has tried more of the weird thing and knowing what the scary trip is like he tries to help the 2nd guy before it gets worse and since the 2nd guy was a bit deeper into the hole than the first guy his trip is worse. Then they find the 3rd guy who is already above his head in the hole and it is too late to save him. The hole seems like a metaphor for a deep pit you find yourself in when you do drugs. Sometimes you can be saved before it gets worse and other times it is too late for people who have sunken too deep in that hole. Then there is little to no hope to getting out.
yeah cheers debbie
Or perhaps it wasnt about trying something weird, but rather the first guy was actually a GIRL and she finds her love who was deep into the weird psyjelly/shroom/lsd thingalready and thats was how they got connected and finally find their child from the jellyshroom again LOL ~The End.

You’re an idiot

Richie Starburst OMG lol
Richie Starburst lmfao i read that as he touched his hand 😂😂😂shit was hella funny
Richie Starburst right
This video is very much inspired by Shadow of the Colossus, there are lots of references including the lyrics. Even has a track name called "Shadow of the Colossus" and "Lonely Wanderer"!
yeah pandas a pretty epic gamer
What I got out of it was that through the journey of life you'll encounter troubling things and sometimes it's really hard to get over it ( all the weird shapes attached to him). Finally he becomes stronger and is able to help the next guy with his problems even taking some of his just to make it easier for his new friend. At the end they meet someone completely devoured by their issues and it seems like theirs nothing they can do but they work together to save him. And now they're strong enough to face life together.
Words cannot describe the feeling i just felt when I looked at the upload date and it said *9 YEARS AGO* I remember watching this on adult swim and being obsessed with this song as a kid
I could play this on repeat for hours 🤩
doing the same rn
es un viaje de muchas cosas....
There is a deep meaning in this animation that only people in mid or late 20's can understand
Im glad im not the only one who thought that too.
I haven't listened or watch this since 2015 when I was 21 so its funny it just popped up again. Best I can make of it is we all go through our own struggles, or things we deem curses and find others who are cursed and going through struggles, some more engulfed then others, and we just are there to help to pull them out or vice versa depending on what we choose to do or them. That's the importance of others
Fuggin' rockin'. I love Panda Bear.
Incredibly introspective and beautiful
December 2014 Adult Swim showed this between the Evangelion Movies. I've found it!
Omg

And a shadow moves in
Dark cloud descended again
And a shadow moves in the darkness

We don't 'preciate our things but

Just saw this on Adult Swim/Toonami. Thought it was a part of Evangelion lol.
This is some trippy shit right here haha
whatever
That's adult swim for ya
same here bruh
fuuuug, haha same (first part, not the Evangelion). I could not make the connection that this was Panda. His voice is too embellished with effects and cut up and resampled and what not. Imagery had my scrotum tingling for a month
Same thing here
I saw this as how trauma (ptsd) effects a person and changes their way of life but they learn to live with it. something like that, no matter how small (they only trapped a hand), can effect you deeply. the part where the character meets another person trapped in an anemone and makes contact with them, causing their symptoms to flare up again, is realistic in how surrounding yourself with people who have gone through similar traumas can trigger previous behaviors or ways of thinking that youve learned/are still learning to cope with. i watch this video every once in a while and it gives me hope when i see the new family heal and make it out of that place together.
