| Neutral Milk Hotel – Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| haha.. just got into nmh this month.. i heard the same thing you did, and analyzing the song using the "god in head" line can change things a bit.. glad someone else heard it so i didn't think i was crazy. who knows.. i'm probably still crazy. but at least i found nmh before i went off the deep end. | |

thanks for posting your interp.. i loved singing aimlessley and making my own words and abstract thoughts based on what i could make out.. i wanted to add one lyric to your version that i am extremely sure of.. use it if you like.. maybe you'll enjoy it. i have always thought the "ghost section" went like this.. i'm flying with you and me and a million other ghosts. hehe.. i know its not much to add.. but i more just wanted to thank you for your post.. hearing the "fucked up again" section for the first time made me bust in to tears.. |

| Panda Bear – Slow Motion Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| i'm glad i know what is being said, since i would always sing along phonetically.. which usually meant i would sing mostly gibberish for the whole song.. for the "everyone knows what they say" i know its absurd but i would sing "and i want some pussy" ;) | |

when i first heard this song, i felt really bad for some reason. like i had done something to disappoint someone. then i heard noah's background vocal towards the end. i was asking myself what this feeling was from, when noah started repeating, "that's from this weed." i felt dumb for being high. just one alternate interp. |

These are my opinions, so they are neither wrong or right. If you agree, thats sweet, if you disagree, let me your opinions, because I'd like to hear them. this song is what you hear when you get high. It's also metaphorical, (of course,) for kind of communication God attempts to have with people that are content with "staying in the same place" however, similar to "graze" we keep running from the true comfort that waits for us if we are willing to "get on and stay on" Instead, we keep on "com[ing] back to it anyhow" that's it for the first segement of the song. in the resolution of conflict segement of the song, it's simple encouragement. "try to say it. do it." i think i can, i think i can. the song is surrounded by the day to day, with an elevation into a dreamlike state, then at the conclusion of the song, release back into the day to day. great ep closer, and very indicative of future animal collective, shining redemtion from the merriweather post pavilion era/direction of the band. post SJ jam vocals still irk me. something artificial about one of the vocal effects that the mpp producer puts on both dave and noahs vocals. ces't la vie. magnificent ep. i won't leave comments on any of the other songs, but if anyone else hears "that's from this weed" by panda in the back ground of bleeding.. let me know. |

| Animal Collective – Slippi Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i felt my heart bubble over with joy reading these lyrics. thank you triangle man. i always smile ear to ear when i hear this song. my inaudible scream-along version was missing the first and last verse and now i can really scare anyone that overhears me while i'm riding around. | |

| Animal Collective – Chocolate Girl Lyrics | 18 years ago |

i have a theory after "Still she had to speak loud" since there was a line missing i thought i'd try. and what i heard ended up altering my opinion with a different take on the next few lines as well.. enjoy or discard. cause hearing isn't higher then rhythm and meets him and picks her sunday flowers in the autumn and quietly still drinking with the boys and their friend and prays long in hopes of something better to show them and holding tightly and the sound is dead.... etc well thats it. i guess the sunday flowers supports the praying line. who knows. lyrics can be tough.. glad there are so many contributing!! |

| Animal Collective – Chocolate Girl Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i thought i posted this comment in this song already.. but i played this song for a girl and it was the first animal collective song she loved.. she kept asking me to play it over and over and in the end i gave her the nickname chocolate girl. | |
| Animal Collective – We Tigers Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| they played this as the last song of their encore in portland the other night. if you saw that show i was the guy that got on stage, did a little jig, and crowd surfed out of the amazing show. i felt like i was floating over a wave of pure love and energy! totally rad. | |

i peiced this together from a radio broadcast the guys did on kexp in sept 14, 2007 and of course the studio version off danse manatee. some of the lyrics that are different on the studio version are open the blinds got to get past the window. stick to the beat got to stop all that worryin this melody awaits you god your touch is a !!!!!!! on their september 07 tour they frequently spliced this version of the song into the bridge of fireworks. if anyone has any other translations or knows what he's screaming any help would be hot. |

| Animal Collective – Fireworks Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i've always played piano or guitar or some variation of the two.. but for some reason panda makes me want to play percussion. his beats in the "i've been eatin with a good friend" section of this song and "the crush high" of purple bottle are the most delicious beats ever! | |
| Animal Collective – The Purple Bottle Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i didn't realize when i first heard this song how much i would one day love it. i have a crush high and the end of this song culminates my life pretty much. | |
| Animal Collective – Good Lovin' Outside Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| isn't line three just, "good lovin outside" like the title of the track? maybe it is get up and outside and i just can't hear the pronunciation right on my horrible speakers. | |
