as much as i love this song and this comment i feel like from a beach is actually one of their most straightforward songs lyrically lol. it's just avey painting the scene of a crowded beach, and then in the chorus he asks "i wonder what this beach was like when it wasn't overrun with humans and consumerism" he's making all of these observations "from a beach"
@alliant couldn't agree more. i was expecting it to be on fall be kind and considerably bummed when it wasn't. the quality of this version is pretty good though so i ain't even mad.
The hobbit on the left is clearly Geologist, the sleeveless shirt guy with the farmers tan is Avey, the daddy long-legs on the right is deakin, and by process of elimination we have panda bear. I love these guys, DEY R SO YOUNEEK :3
"Sea bird, annoying when you cry out You'll get the food that you want When you're on your wings Take off To feel above an eagle To spot the prey that you need Flash beetween the waves White ladies looking lovely The sun makes their skin bubbling hot Mine blisters and it itches Unlike the roses west of wild Gliding, swimming in the curls The tide is spackled with shells and It tickles the sand like clay bells My visions in a blur People floating on rafts of yellow pink and pearl The current is pulling on bare legs Imagine the beach of an old age That wasn't filled with girls trying to get Cool Tape rings, they bring the cut umbrellas To bloom like nylon flowers Along the waves Sky sea, is shaping all their shadows And look at all the towels go Along the waves Brown baby dig for nothing You'll surely figure something out Shrinked hands hold ice cream dripping Some one sees dolphins 'Look!' they shout Gliding, swimming in the curls The tide is spackled with shells and It tickles the sand like clay bells My visions in a blur People floating on rafts of yellow pink and pearl The current is pulling on bare legs Imagine the beach of an old age That wasn't filled with girls Gliding, swimming in the curls The tide is spackled with shells and It tickles the sand like clay bells My visions in a blur People floating on rafts of yellow pink and pearl The current is pulling on bare legs Imagine the beach of an old age That wasn't filled with girls Trying to get coooooooooool And in the shallows shells are home, Among the crabs who walk alone And if you do not walk just right I see you jump from tiny bites"
@Envee211 Yeah i know what u mean. when i saw em 2011 at pitchfork they played about 4 new songs that I have never heard. But definatley one of my favorite concerts so far
Steven Diaz I like masks, but not masks to hide identity, but more for the aesthetic. When I think of Eyes Wide Shut I think of the party with masks the same way when I hear Sung Tongs I think of their masks.
+Brent Lund Seabird Annoying when you cry out You don't get the thing that you want Then you're on your way You take off To clouds above a blue gulf And you spot the prey that you need Flash between the waves White ladies looking lovely The sun makes their skin bubbling hot Mine blisters and it itches A life guard blows his whistle proud Gliding Swimming in the curl The tide rips back on the shells and It tickles the sand like clay bells My visions in a blur People floating On rafts of yellow, pink, and pearl The current is pulling on bare legs Imagine the beach of an old age That wasn't filled with girls Trying to get cool Day brings The rainbow cut umbrellas That bloom like nylon flowers Perking up for rays From the sky, you see The shifting of their shadows The way that all the towels blow Hope it does not rain Brown baby, dick for nothing literally figure something out Sweet hands from ice cream dripping Someone sees dolphins, "Look!" they shout Gliding Swimming in the curl The tide rips back on the shells and It tickles the sand like clay bells My visions in a blur People floating On rafts of yellow, pink, and pearl The current is pulling on bare legs Imagine the beach of an old age That wasn't filled with girls And in the shallows shells are homes For the crabs that walk alone And if you do not walk just right I see you jump from tiny bites
Here after it was just announced as a b-side for the new MMP anniversary reissue. Beautiful song
With spirit and never released older tracks being rereleased this year, i can only hope we get more of their deep cuts like this
fingers crossed for a strawberry jam deluxe one day
It comes with the MPP 15th anniversary, can be preordered today
They’re putting this on the Merriweather 15th anniversary vinyl😳😳
Your wish has been granted.
asking what an animal collective song is "about" makes as much sense as asking what the ocean is "about" or what the grand canyon is "for."
why does spacetime have matter
But what if I want to know
as much as i love this song and this comment i feel like from a beach is actually one of their most straightforward songs lyrically lol.

I don't understand how I've never heard this before. This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. ^_^
best animal collective hands down
Sounds like something that would be on Water Curses
Too MPP for water curses, to water cursors for MPP
I still have hope that this will be recorded in a studio. I don't understand how they weren't really pumped about this song.
Included on a 10” with the new MPP pressing coming out!!! So excited
Guess what betch!
The synth is giving me major STGSTV vibes
Retro Naut

"Sea bird, annoying when you cry out
You'll get the food that you want
When you're on your wings
Take off
To feel above an eagle
To spot the prey that you need
Flash beetween the waves
White ladies looking lovely
The sun makes their skin bubbling hot
Mine blisters and it itches
Unlike the roses west of wild
Gliding, swimming in the curls
The tide is spackled with shells and
It tickles the sand like clay bells
My visions in a blur
People floating on rafts of yellow pink and pearl
The current is pulling on bare legs
Imagine the beach of an old age
That wasn't filled with girls trying to get
Cool
Tape rings, they bring the cut umbrellas
To bloom like nylon flowers
Along the waves
Sky sea, is shaping all their shadows
And look at all the towels go
Along the waves
Brown baby dig for nothing
You'll surely figure something out
Shrinked hands hold ice cream dripping
Some one sees dolphins 'Look!' they shout
Gliding, swimming in the curls
The tide is spackled with shells and
It tickles the sand like clay bells
My visions in a blur
People floating on rafts of yellow pink and pearl
The current is pulling on bare legs
Imagine the beach of an old age
That wasn't filled with girls
Gliding, swimming in the curls
The tide is spackled with shells and
It tickles the sand like clay bells
My visions in a blur
People floating on rafts of yellow pink and pearl
The current is pulling on bare legs
Imagine the beach of an old age
That wasn't filled with girls
Trying to get coooooooooool
And in the shallows shells are home,
Among the crabs who walk alone
And if you do not walk just right
I see you jump from tiny bites"
wonderful piece of music
This is incredible thank you so much, I’m hooked. OOOOOO RIGGI DIGGI
Hope this song will be on their new album coming up in November!
Very nice
great song, just ordered it. can’t wait for the 10” to arrive!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
@Envee211 Yeah i know what u mean. when i saw em 2011 at pitchfork they played about 4 new songs that I have never heard. But definatley one of my favorite concerts so far

@danielc1620 there are other animal collectives?
Wait did geologist used to have long hair?
10 people missed the like button😂😂
That photo is so twee.
I wish they could've kept the masks.
Adds something. Something good.
Steven Diaz I like masks, but not masks to hide identity, but more for the aesthetic. When I think of Eyes Wide Shut I think of the party with masks the same way when I hear Sung Tongs I think of their masks.
Also, to awesome music such as Lightning Bolt, Daft Punk, mf doom
STELLAR.
Test.
Lyrics?
+Brent Lund
Seabird
Annoying when you cry out
You don't get the thing that you want
Then you're on your way
You take off
To clouds above a blue gulf
And you spot the prey that you need
Flash between the waves
White ladies looking lovely
The sun makes their skin bubbling hot
Mine blisters and it itches
A life guard blows his whistle proud
Gliding
Swimming in the curl
The tide rips back on the shells and
It tickles the sand like clay bells
My visions in a blur
People floating
On rafts of yellow, pink, and pearl
The current is pulling on bare legs
Imagine the beach of an old age
That wasn't filled with girls
Trying to get cool
Day brings
The rainbow cut umbrellas
That bloom like nylon flowers
Perking up for rays
From the sky, you see
The shifting of their shadows
The way that all the towels blow
Hope it does not rain
Brown baby, dick for nothing
literally figure something out
Sweet hands from ice cream dripping
Someone sees dolphins, "Look!" they shout
Gliding
Swimming in the curl
The tide rips back on the shells and
It tickles the sand like clay bells
My visions in a blur
People floating
On rafts of yellow, pink, and pearl
The current is pulling on bare legs
Imagine the beach of an old age
That wasn't filled with girls
And in the shallows shells are homes
For the crabs that walk alone
And if you do not walk just right
I see you jump from tiny bites
its probably "dig for nothing" not dick, 'cause its a beach
Dig for nothing lol
so is saying a song is "about acid"...
does anyone have the chords for this song?
