My Dad passed away around a month ago now at only 51, and throughout his later years all he could ever talk about was that you HAD to listen to Animal Collective. like no other band mattered, even though he was a die hard Beach Boys Fanatic for almost 2 decades, this song made him go down the rabbit hole of every remix, remaster, and independent artist's music from the collectives music coming to modern day 2024. He described this track as the perfect pop song, and honestly I cant disagree with him. and for me being only 16 I think my big man put me on some pretty good shit when it comes to music, seeing how he blasted Merriweather everywhere we went as soon as I came out the womb . he used to see them live at least 5 times and finally got to take me at my birthday shortly before he was sent to the hospital. best concert of my life still to this day. To many more listens and tears shed to a song that has aged like wine...love you dad.
Sounds like your Dad had the jams, stay strong my brother.
What a wonderful memory. Your dad sounds like a wonderful man. Dad's have such a great influence in our lives and I know how important music is and how deeply it connects us all. Wish you peace when listening to the jams you and your dad shared ❣️
Sounds like a top fella. Rest Easy .
You're about the age I was when I too, lost my father young (mine was 48), and the memories that come from the music he showed me, flood my life with joy and reminders of him when I hear Zeppelin or the Beatles in public all these years later (28 now). You'll carry that last concert in your heart forever, I'm so glad you had that experience with him. I wish all the time I could have exposed my dad to the more artistic music I got into as I got older- I put him on alot of nu-metal and emo while he wea here 😂.
Your comment has me reminiscing ❤ your dad will always be with you in the songs and memories you carry.
On your fathers grave.....❣
I used to listen to this song while dreaming of my future family. Currently married, carrying our first child and this song is so nostalgic.
Alyssa W wow
Alyssa W I hate children
@@user-hd7ps3sr2v Congratulations, no one cares.
I still remember the first time i heard this song. My gf was dumping me, first gf, after 5 years. It created something new in me! Something positive and full of hope. That's what it brings me even now, positivity and hope
So how’s life now?
It’s currently 5:30 in the morning in El Paso Texas and my 3 year old son is awake fighting a cold and this beautiful song and video is what I payed for him and he couldn’t get enough. To you animal collective 🍺
No other ways to describe this song other than "soft" and "sweet". It feels like my soul's being coated in sugar when I listen to this; it's so simple, angelic, and hopeful. God, even *my* depressed ass can't be sad listening to this :')
I know more words: awesome, never able to forget, etc
soft and sweeeet
let me hold it close and keep it here with meeee
Describing 4chan song with words from the 4chan album. Very funny
yeah it's like a sea shanty with the vocals, and the electronics aren't too abrassive. the repeating arpeggio is pretty comforting.
This isn't Neutral Milk Hotel. Soft and sweet belong to them
One of the best songs ever made. Doesn't sound like that "2009" sound. Truly timeless.
I think it sounds like '09 since music was more than one thing back then & was nothing like nowadays.
It sounds like straight up 2009
2009 is the hipster boom and 2011-2013 was the hipster counter culture hence the hipster hate
It sounds like Animal Collective
@@pepop6922 It sounds like Merriweather Post Pavilion.
This song is so beautiful. It makes me want to be a stronger person.
It made me a stronger person.
You are a stronger person. :)) ✨
Very well said. I'm trying!
@@Jay-xh9dl You are succeeding!!!
Yeah. This song appeals to my male psyche.
15 years have gone by and I have never heard ANYTHING like this before or again. I feel like I’m more impressed by it now. It’s so unique.
Accurate. I'm more floored by this song today than when i first heard it 15 years ago. Expert artists
I feel the same! Formative experiences to this album and this song in particular. I was obsessed then by how new and fresh and innovative it felt, and coming back now I still feel that way.
it's one of the most creative albums ever recorded hands down
Their peak
@@animalgeoTime Skiffs was really good though.
spirit better
How big is your sample?
@@ghxztpxppglv33spirit, feels, and strawberry jam are better imo
I just want firewalls and adobe flash for my girls
pavester4 .yeah right. Haha!
They must be protected and entertained.
:D Excellent.
For my urls

The tone change and higher octave on the synth @2:13 just hits me like a wall of crying. Whole song rocks
This song is such a trip for me - I remember in college thinking “I don’t want much but I want what he says in this song”
Now I have a wife, a daughter and 4 walls for “My Girls”
That’s truly amazing. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your family. ❤🎉
One of the greatest psychedelic songs ever recorded.
tripping balls to it rn
Saw them in Big Sur California, under the redwood Forest, was indeed an epic psychedelic experience!!
the only reason I don't want to die is because i will miss all my favorite songs so much... especially this one
Collin Michael you'll be the songs.
John Sir Damn you beat me to it.
hi its been a time, but if you need anyone to talk to, im here:) i promise it gets better...
You won't miss them if you're dead.
I feel you bro. Same thing.
I heard this song when it first came out and I was obsessed, then over time I forgot the name of the song, but I always remembered the melody and spent the last 10 years trying to remember the name of the song or the group so I could hear this masterpiece again. Today, after 10 years, I finally found this song again 😫 thank you Universe!
When they said: 👄. I felt that
Say no more friend😋
LMAOOOO 👁👄👁
What does your comment mean umaseda? Never promote illiteracy. You so cleverly disguise it within brainwash. Fuck off.
Ashley Harris HUH?
Ashley Harris what the hell?
Oh, My brother, my dear brother, he left this world yesterday & this was his favourite song. Still remember when you were 14, I was 10 and you showed me this song. I was fascinated! You took me down the Rock N 'Roll path and thanks to you I developed my own musical tastes. Today, I discover that you left this world of your own free will, taking an overdose of pills until you were sound asleep. Dear brother, when I found out about that, coming to listen to this song was the only thing that occurred to me at the time, and here I am! listening to this song at 3 in the morning, while singing loudly and enjoying the music as if you are still with me to listen to it together. Brother, when you first showed me this song, you told me that we all had this song hidden within us, but we weren't brave enough to show them to everyone. Now I understand it and I am sorry I understood it too late. I love you, brother, and I will always love you. Thank you for showing me these musical wonders. I will miss you today, tomorrow and always.This song will always be a part of us, dear brother.
RIP your bro had incredible taste my man. he's physically not here anymore, but he will forever live on through you. we love you man.
I lost a brother not too long ago and I feel you man, Animal Collective has definitely helped me this year. A breath of new life, whilst dealing with struggle.
I’m sorry for your loss 💜 I lost my brother two years ago, the pain of losing a sibling so young stays with you but so does the love and memory of who you lost. They’re still with us in spirit cheering us on.
I’m sorry. I hope you’ve made peace with the grief, as difficult as it is. 🖤
RIP man..my brother is still here but he's a homeless drug addict..I wake up every day thinking I'm going to get news of his shuffling off this coil.
Played this at my Sons funeral,last week.one of his fave bands.He was 21.
I'm sorry for your loss but this song meant a lot to him and also means a lot that he wanted what you gave him. He wanted to emulate you because he looked up to you and you did a great job.
Hey I hope you are doing good 🥰

LOL liar
LOL no you didnt bullshitter
Merryweather Post Pavilion is 10 years old today!!!!
It still feels really modern. It's timeless.
Fuck, I'm old.
@@scwt89 yeah... fuck.
Toro y Moi brought me here. I am in awe and I am 10 years late lol
WillTardis I felt like I was at the cutting edge when I first listened to this.
I'm a metalhead but this is actually one of my favourite songs, it resonates with me even more now after losing my father about a month ago. Rip dad.
im a metal head too. its just part of our appreciation for righteous music. i bet you listen to some good classical music too. you ever listen to Phillip glass? hes got some amazing music that my heave metal friends always go wow.. this is great. and may your father Giovani rest in piece.
If you like this song I really recommend listening to the rest of Animal Collective's discography they are easily the best neo psychedelia band of the 21st century
@@souleater307 another metal head here checking in. Good music is good music, undeniable.
You never had the makings of a varsity metalhead... lol
@@souleater307 sorry for your loss buddy.
Im an American guy, living in Porto, Portugal , who’s engaged to a lovely Portuguese girl, and we have a baby on the way. Never would I have thought that I would live out the lyrics of one of my favorite bands

This song reminds me of my mom. I showed her this video one day, and explained the lyrics, and how that that's how I was feeling. She said, "You are such a deep person". I've never felt so appreciated by someone in my life.
Andres De La Rosa welcome to our generation. Bro was lovely to read that. Thanks my nrother

This is beautiful ❤️ I connect with music the same way friend
I never laughed so hard to a youtube comment in my life.
And then everyone clapped
I fucking love any band that puts obscure building references into their songs.
Apparently, their next album is an ambitious 2-disc concept album about self-levelling cement.
lmao bro u r hiliarious
don't watch the video for " fifth harmony- work from home. " .. it will make u want to level the house they're in.
your next challenge is to provide me with a playlist

"I only want a proper house."
This was so relevant in 2009...
Still very relevant
Can u explain? I want to know more

Relevant now and will only become more relevant until "Red Sun in the Sky" is relevant again.
Probably going to be very relevant soon as this recession continues...
Haven't heard this for years! If Brian Wilson wrote Pet Sounds today, I'd imagine it wouldn't be too far off this
THIS COMMENT HERE. This made me feel the same magic as pet sounds did. First listen or millionth. ❤️
THATS IT !....Pet Sounds!....it sounds like Brian Wilson found modern day electronica!
It would sound like Panda Bear's Person Pitch
Great comp
Absolutely. I'm sure Brian would love this
This is one of those tracks/videos that you'll always remember the first time you heard it. Felt like something brand new was awakened inside of me.
What a magical moment.
When I was 7 years old my dad first played this song. I just remember the insane feeling that rang through my body when I heard this on our car speaker. This song is a masterpiece and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
This is my third time listening and this is one of the most profound songs I’ve ever heard in my life. I legitimately felt the moment this song became important to me and I’m going to cherish this song for the rest of my life and show it to people I care about.
wait until you hear their album Merriweather Post Pavilion, it’s so amazing
pathetic
NOBODY CARES
Still hits. Remember when I was a teenager and this was playing of Fuse TV nonstop, I am in my 30s now
I'm 50 and got a free pass to see um...when this song came out in Austin
@MikeRLloyd73 Lucky you, wish I would had a ride back in them days or else I'd have been there!
When I first heard this I thought it was terrible. Now... I understand. Anyone out there who thinks this is just bad, it took me like a month until it just clicked and now it's my favourite song
I didn't like AnCo at first either
waste yourself
you must be tripping homie
it took me a year
took 10 sec for me
Intro]
Isn't much that I feel I need
A solid soul and the blood I bleed
But with a little girl, and by my spouse
I only want a proper house
There isn't much (Isn't much) that I feel I need (That I feel I need)
A solid soul (A solid soul) and the blood I bleed (and the blood I bleed)
But with a little girl (But with a little girl), and by my spouse (And by my spouse)

I only want (I only want) a proper house (A proper house)
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't care for fancy things
Or to take part in the freshest wave
But to provide for mine who ask
I will, with heart, on my father's grave
I don't care for fancy things
Or to take part in the freshest wave
But to provide for mine who ask
I will, with heart, on my father's grave

On my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
[Chorus]
I don't mean to seem like I care about material things
Like a social status
I just want four walls and adobe slats
For my girls
I don't mean to seem like I care about material things
Like a social status
I just want four walls and adobe slats
For my girls

There isn't much (There isn't much) that I feel I need (That I feel I need)

dolby slides is what the pitchfork review said, not adobe flats
@@stuartfoster5819 "four walls and adobe slabs". Adobe can be used for a slab foundation for a house.
Gods work
I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this song. I wish I could hear it again for the first time, because I instantly knew how special it was going to be to me. I looked up the meaning to the lyrics shortly after, and it made it even better. I’m only sixteen now, but I hope that if I have any sort of family one day this song and it’s meaning will continue to resonate with me.
It will...Im living it.
Here to say the same thing. It will ❤
You had to look up the meaning? Just read the lyrics from now on and make your own opinions! These other people did!

This song is pure joy.
please this song is so good.
Animal collective makes me wanna go outside, and this song especially.
dont know why
😂😂😂
Who the hell wants to go outside?
more like 1999. Its been this way since at least 2003 lol
EDWARD ONTONG i know exactly what you mean
Their song "Summertime Clothes" makes me want to frolic
hivemind was so real for this honestly
They did pumped up kicks dirty
But this deserved the w easily
To most people this was probably there first animal collective song if you're new to them and see this welcome to a very great band that when you listen to them at first you hate but after a few listens becomes your favorite band.
Peacebone was my introduction to Animal Collective, and only found this after getting pretty turned onto them!.
and Who could win a rabbit was mine
This was definitely the first song that got me into Animal Collective, and thank god for it because they are so spectacular
I just can't imagine what I would listen to if I didn't have access to the internet thank you internet
this! 😭🥲 very grateful for this opportunity 😌🎶 🎧
I found out of this song from TV back in the 00's. internet is a good replacement for TV though, in a way.
@@dedpxl I found out about this band while I was scrolling for highly rated albums on Metacritic
@@SaeEDKh313 I found this band when I look up Best Hipster Albums.
Before the Internet we would share cds and tapes. It took more effort to find things, but it made finding them that much more rewarding.
The first time I heard this I was blown away. It never gets old.
I just heard it for the first time today. Same.
I just listened to it and I am completely underwhelmed. How can this make any impression on anyone? It's incredibly boring!
Black American from Los A! I always feel peaceful with this song I replay it over and over singing the lyrics!
🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🤘🏾
y'all, can I just say how refreshing it is to hear a song by grown ass men that refers to a "little girl" as an actual child being cared for and loved, instead of grown ass men basically singing about young women/teenagers they want to bang and calling them "little girls". that shit has bothered me since I WAS a little girl, and it's just nice to hear something that's not skeevy as all get out. such a great song for a slew of reasons.
There isn't much that I feel I need
a solid soul and the blood I bleed

I just want four walls and adobe slabs
for my girls.
gosh thanks I was worried I was listening to the wrong song for a second
+Homeless angry black man I see you everywhere dude!
i LOVE
+Elizabeth Stauffer Nice lyrics. Yet I feel that the word "home" would be more appropriate instead of a "house". One can have many houses in his life, but still no place to call his home.
😊
Will this song be one the most important songs in their life for anyone else?
Yes!
+Michael Ricci The whole album is for me.
100%
yes
Yes it is! :)
this would be the most epic festival intro/ starter song....wish I could see this live :)...i know the crowd would go crazy...type of song thats so good it brings a tear to your eye for no reason...everytime i hear this song I immediately have to jump up into a better mood...like sheeeeesh this is great music how its supposed to be. melodically...instrumentally...vocally...and presentation...its just way too good...i end up restarting the song at least 4 or 5 times.
This tracks: In an interview, they called the album Meriweather Post Pavilion because they felt like the songs would go best at a music festival venue in Maryland.

My parents used to show me this video when I was 3 or 4 years old, was never able to find it until today. It used to fascinate and disturb me how they melted at the end, that's what I remembered. Really trippy watching it for the first time in almost fifteen years
in 50 years this will be considered a classic
I totally agree. This song has a timeless feel to it
raidendaunreal IMO, all great music does.

I was playing this same video on a 15lb+ monitor in 2009 when I got home from school! I’d never want to be a teenager again but i feel nostalgia thinking about not paying rent, listening to animal colllective and being absolutely unhinged.
The most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
We need to show this to Aliens.
I'll start the petition for Strawberry Voyager, the latest interstellar craft with the intent of distributing AnCo across the Universe.
how do u know there not showing it to us....
Are you kidding? We ARE the aliens...
"We're ready"
SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT
I lost someone close to me, he introduced these guys to me, he passed away and this always bring him back to me, truly timeless and everywhere at once. love these dudes.
Man this is one of the best songs that I've ever heard, for sure
this song always takes me back to my junior year in high school. a friend of mine let me listen to this song in class and I loved it so much, as soon as I got home I looked it up and had it on repeat for about an hour. I love how music can make you stop what you’re doing and take you back to where you were, who you were with, and what you were doing. much love 🥰💗
My first listening to Animal Collective
You could play this in any GALAXY
They were on another level with this album....
I have two daughters now, this song hits harder than ever.
I used to be so obsessed with this video, took pictures of myself, cut out silhouette in graphic programs on pc and put such black space with stars in it. It was my fav photo of me
Almost a full decade has passed since this album was released time flies but this still holds up really good stuff.
Can't knock the lyrics that made it possible for him to provide 4 walls and adobe slabs for his girls.
this song won the Hivemind bracket for best Indie Songs. If you didn't know that, there will be a knock on your door very shortly.
*HOW DID THEY MAKE SOMETHING THIS GOOD??!!?*
pretty much fell out my chair the first time I heard 3:02

"Oh I remember that song. I remember crying to it. I'll listen to it again, surely I won't cry."

It looks like they're drowning in Baja Blast.
True
I had just signed the contract to move into my first house and the chain fell thru today. This has been my favourite song for 10 years; I decided to listen to it today and the “I only want a proper house” lyrics hit me like a ton of bricks (as if I wasn’t expecting it)
Can’t wait to provide four walls and abode slabs for my girls.... bom bom ooooohhh
Happy father’s day!
I bought this record back in 09, from the hype. Didn't love it, but always loved this song. Then, come this year, I went to my first Bonnaroo, and walked into their set, mere seconds after they finished talk with the crowd, they then launched into THIS. Forever reminding me how epic this piece is. Nature themed alternative electronica bliss.
You should check out more of their stuff. Animal Collective has become one of my favorite bands. They are one of the best creative units I've heard.
The thing animal collective for me is when you first hear there songs im like "What is this garbage!?" Then I listen I feel more type and like, this is a master piece.
Proof that music grows with you! I didnt get this at first and now its just the only song i want to hear.
Still give me goosebumps to this day! Legendary!
The first song I played for my infant daughter.
i still remember driving around the day this album dropped and being so mind blown. i had gotten into AnCo my sophomore year of HS with Sung Tongs and Strawberry Jam, i'm so lucky to have been right time right age right place for this shit. saw them live 4-5 times over the next few years. the Merriweather tour, while they were working out the Fall Be Kind songs....just amazing. there are lots of live recordings online, for any new fans who don't know.
15 years ago this was posted!!! Holy cow!!
i couldn’t even begin to explain to you what this music video did for me one night in 2017 when i was a sophomore in high school.
Shoutout to all the dads out there with a wife and daughter.
This song and album is still ahead of the time.
I don't normally listen to electronic music, but...something about this song...gives me the feels!
try listening to their album "feels"
I love it when a song can make me teary eyed. It's such a real, sweet song.
I’ll never forget when my little brother and I would dance and act like we were playing with them when we were really really little
that's an awesome memory.
NOBODY CARES
This song gives me that special... feeling. Can't quite describe. Like I'm flying through space. But it's warm and pink everywhere. And there's a lot of beautiful people and fluffy clouds. I don't know. Maybe if I was a painter I could paint what I feel listening to this song.
Love it
great description
dmr bgs thank you :)
I could see a group of "good guys" blasting this before going to war for the one and only true cause, whatever that is.
Disabled children are called "special"
I can live with being called an asshole. The question is: Can you live with being alone forever?
Listening to this song I imagine the guy best friend in a teen series running to their best friend's house realizing that they're in love with her as a montage of their memories flash
Im getting old yall. Hold me, i feel contagious.
Got to come back every now and then, this song still sounds as fresh as the day I heard it. Hypnotizing and beautiful
Damn. Forgot about this song. Last time I heard it my grandfather (my dad) was still alive. One of the last things he said was "Take care of your grandma and Susie (my girlfriend)." Gives more meaning to "on my father's grave" even though this song made me tear up before he was gone.
If the Beach Boys were backed by Kraftwerk playing compositions by Philip Glass, this is how it would sound = awesome.
damn... pretty perfect description
that's spot on
I was literally just thinking that 😂😂
This is the dumbest shit I've ever seen, it's like you just took the first 3 names you could think of relating to the most basic musical principles. Hmm I can hear some harmonies, I guess this is just like the Beach Boys then! Philip Glass is a genius, AC are boring, comparing the 2 is honestly insulting to people who aren't dullards.

underrated is relative - this was kinda widely considered one of the best tracks of the decade :)
This song is a time machine for me, i miss the college so much the best years of my life until now, love this album a lot.
feels is their best album in my opinion.

Bilb Ono naw man strawb jam is where it's at
why do you say?
I first listened to this album in 2010 at the recommendation of /mu/. At the time I was making friends with a group of (people, who, at the time, I just considered smart and funny, with a weird fashion style) hipsters. Little did I know, they too, well most of them, had already been listening to Animal Collective for years. One even had a CD single of Grass, which, at 17, meant that they had liked this band I was just now getting into since they were at least 12. That alone made me like the h*ll out of them. I took it and ran with it, the first time we listened to the album together, we all, well most of us, sang along to every song, and I, being the annoying idiot I am, screamed along to the wails of Avey through the whole stretch of the instrumental break during Brother Sport. I think they liked me because while they were relatively free-spirited, I was not afraid of completely letting loose. All this is preface to say that the first summer I spent listening to this album was spent in the company of some of the best people I've ever known, and it really changed who I am as a person, it helped form who I am today in a big way. I took each song in as I saw it, both a swirling mess of catchy synths and poppy vocals, but as an expression of wanting life in its purest exuberance. Spending time with those you love, be it through a Daily Routine, or a Brother Sport, in the four walls and adobe slabs, on back porches with the torch of a firefly-lit tree, wearing Summertime Clothes, or in a living room filled with arts and crafts ("We get it you like Animal Collective.") It's about taking life as it comes but making the best of it, surrounding yourself with what's wholesome and appreciating it, finding love, even in lust, and holding on to what matters while wanting to uplift everyone through gratitude. Panda Bear, a recent father in writing half of this albums songs, focused mostly on family, while Avey who would be divorced by the time the album came out, focused more on romance. What is interesting in that context, is that most family is borne through romance: a young couple fall in love, have some kids, the father dies, one of the kids makes music, falls in love through no small consequence of the success of his music and has children of his own. It's a beautiful and painful but virtuous cycle when it works out like that. We may want more things in life than what we have, but we have to cherish what we have, we have to embrace it, and while we may want more, there is nothing so deeply fulfilling than having a family filled with love, and as you can clearly see with Animal Collective, they are a family, with love in such excess that they're able to give us gems like this, gems that will exist as long as humanity does. And if we meet our mortal end, and some future alien species comes to Earth, I hope they, too, will get to experience this music, which sounds unearthly to many as it stands. This music is, however, truly emblematic of the positive side of the human condition, and while I loved my family growing up, I never understood what it meant in the way they album conveyed it. So thank you, Animal Collective, thank you for further connecting me to some of the greatest people I've known, thank you for teaching me what to seek most inherently in life, and thank you for filling mine with music of which I will never tire and will most certainly play for my kids if and when I have them, heck, I've already played this song for my niece and nephew. And if you managed to make it through this entire post, thank you for giving me your time.

Turning in your final essay on UA-cam
These are basically the things a lot of us said as teenagers,before things changed for a lot of us
We just wanted simple things at that point,happiness over all.
The sadness might come from realizing we forgot how to enjoy life,like we used to
I like the Eddie Gordo reference

I can't help but cry everytime I hear this song. So beautiful and full of nostalgia
When I first heard this song I didn't think much of it. I then got high as balls at a time when I was really struggling with depression and listened to it again. I cried at how beautiful it was, the sound and the theme both. Ultimately, that's all I wanted too, contentment with family and a roof over my head.
MPP quickly became my favourite album.
So we had the same exact experience! I was going through an awful time with my OCD which lead to me becoming severely depressed, and I was on a trip at this time 13 years ago. I snuck out of the 4th of july party to smoke a bowl. My iPod classic had this song ripped from youtube on it and I heard it and I remember resonating with the lyrics to such an extreme, cause throughout all the tribulations and pain my neurosis brought me, I knew in the end that all I wanted was to be happily married with my girlfriend at the time with a daughter.
13 years later, he would be stunned to know that I ran into her about half a year after graduated college, and that we would get married and have a beautiful child.
I have been listening to this song for years in the radio without knowing the title, then after hundreds of recs from the guys of the patrish group in fb, i decided to check animal collective. wtf little did i know that they actually sang this masterpiece
Go ahead and listen to this song without nodding your head to the beat. You can't! You can't do it! It's just that good.
such a classic
AnCo was the first "indie" band I listened to back in 2007. This tune came out when I was a freshman in college. Now I'm 32 and it still hits me in the feels. May this arpeggio go on forever.
