ok, I am going to go off the deep end! Since this is Christmas, I will give it a different interpretation. The interpretation is based on their 2007 BBC version with "hey light" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSKyF2DfiIc "Animal Collective - Doggy / Hey Light (BBC Session 2007)" The song is about God becoming human and dying. It's about the Messiah. If you fallow the song on the BBC version then David seems to say "God is great" in the transition into "hey light" That's all a very different interpretation, no big deal, if you'r not Jewish, Christian, ... blah blah no negative vibes intended... |

yeah, I think you nailed it, but the arbitrary "for reverend green" in the form of "for ever in green" makes even more sense, to stay for ever in green, to stay always young. In some cultures it is common to say "your still green" being your still young. |

I think this song is to stay for ever in green, or to always remain young. "A running child's bloody with burning knees A careless child's money flew in the trees A camping child's happy with winter's freeze A lucky child don't know how lucky she is" the bliss life of being young even when you get hurt, loose your money, and so on "From one moment to a next A thousand wasted Brooklyners all depressed The ins and outs of supper's chest He'll only be a friend if he touches your breast From one moment to a next A shifting in the plates of what you ingest From sugared tits to honeyed pests Bulimic vegetarian wins weight contest" this is more about all the hangups of being an adult, we all know what this is about, life sucks, but the song is not a depressing song it's a song of trying to remain/stay "for ever in green" for every young! and then Avey sings about the band and how they can stay "for ever in green" Now I think it's all right we're together Now I think that's a riot Now I think it's the best he ever played it Now I think that's a riot Now I think it's all right to feel inhuman Now I think that's a riot Now I think it's all right, we'll sing together Now I think that's a riot To sum it up, life is awesome and kids don't know how lucky they have it! |
