This was the saddest band I discovered after my first marriage ended I came back to NYC from Belgium and randomly saw them perform on the LES. They were giving away CD's. I got one and listened to this on repeat while riding the subway and brown bagging 40s.
Coming back to this. High school soundtrack for me, running on the trail with my sansa clip and grizzly bear...Their early stuff I strongly prefer. I adore the lo-fi folk elements, nostalgia and emotion for me...They had quite a unique concoction back in the day. I wish they were still as brave and crazy as they were when they sparked
I always gravitate towards this album when I’m really depressed. Something about it’s stark, simple composition just fits perfectly with feeling alone. Music you can’t share with anyone else. It’s just for you
I like how, whenever you pull up a Grizzly Bear video to watch, RUclips helpfully suggests that you watch "Wolf vs Grizzly Bear" or a "Grizzly Bear Attacks!" video. Thanks, intro-nets!
Probably one of the saddest Grizzly Bear albums...not as in it's bad, as in it's got a lot of songs that make me feel a bit emotional. Great album...the first album of theirs that I knew of and it grew on me a lot. I love all of their stuff...great musicians.
[Verse] I'm a deep sea diver with my fins And underneath your current I do swim A baker's dozen pretty pearls And when I try them on my toes do curl 'Cause you, you got everything that I want A car, the house, the dog You got everything that I want [Bridge] Just keep me a while Just keep me a while Just keep me a while Just keep me a while Just keep me a while [Outro] I'm a deep sea diver losing air And around you laps I swim but you don't care
Funny you should say that, cuz they opened for Radiohead's North American tour last year. It was a great show! I'd never heard of Grizzly Bear before, but I really liked the sound.
ok not sure if i'm imagining this...but this seems like it would be INSANE to watch/listen to high. Even watching it sober is making me FEEL high....lol
I think it means that in life there are many obstacles that get in our way and intentionally make our lives harder, but in the end we all suffer the same fate.
@MaxxLargeMaxx well i am a big fan of this band, but its just not true that their sound is uncomprable to anyone else, check out inca ore, grouper, or perhaps the newer portishead album, and im sure there are a lot of "sound-alikes" i havent heard, but all of the ones i mentioned sound kinda similar, notably they all use lots of reverb
i like video its like an old commador game :) proper retro!!!! wel b4 utube n fb n all tht those was the days cassette tapes squeely noises coloured lines on tv while loading and after waiting through all tht it crashed :(
It doesn't matter if the sound is repetative, doesn't matter if it's to slow, I really like this song !!! beacuse it has a special univer... special feelings, this is why i'm made of this band, they don't need to be popular, they just play their OWN shit !!!
i just made that last statement come true. im so high, and that video was soo crazy. that's the only reason i came down to read the comments, to see that i wasn't the only one.
@nizzle2 somebody said this song was repetitive??? There are so many crazy changes in time signatures. If people think this is repetitive than it confirms my worst fears that people are evolving into mindless zombies that demand instant gratification all the time.
I remember finding this song on myspace holy shit time flies. How sad.

Sounds like pure emo life to me.

I love early Grizzly Bear!
still my favourite song of theirs
Will never not be my favorite song by them.
This is my favorite band forever

I've always felt very close to this album especially considering when it came into my life. It will always remain my favorite by Grizzly Bear.

God I wish I had artistic abilities. Even just mediocre skills. The ability to convey the images and feelings in your head is the greatest gift.
Probably one of the saddest Grizzly Bear albums...not as in it's bad, as in it's got a lot of songs that make me feel a bit emotional. Great album...the first album of theirs that I knew of and it grew on me a lot. I love all of their stuff...great musicians.
It's one hell of a breakup album. It rivals Sea Change by Beck in that regard.
I like how the imagery in this video is connected directly with a direct visual representation of the sound.
[Verse]
I'm a deep sea diver with my fins
And underneath your current I do swim
A baker's dozen pretty pearls
And when I try them on my toes do curl
'Cause you, you got everything that I want
A car, the house, the dog
You got everything that I want
[Bridge]
Just keep me a while
Just keep me a while
Just keep me a while
Just keep me a while
Just keep me a while
[Outro]
I'm a deep sea diver losing air
And around you laps I swim but you don't care
Pretty sure it’s thirteen pearls
Damn, this song is amazing. Such good memories.
This one of those songs that I wish was longer. It's so lovely, yet it doesn't seem quite finished.
i got so attached to Veckatimest for the longest time that i assumed that a lo-fi Grizzly Bear would not sound good. I was wrong as fuck.
This band blows my mind!!!! They have a sound that goes right through me.
Beautiful to the eyes and ears.
Banger. Hadn't listened to this album in years
first saw this vid on subterranean on mtv (1hr of indie music videos) back in 2005. wow this band has come along way.
TVinmyEye So did I! The first time I saw this, 2005, at 2am in my parents basement.
Daniel Modica haha, yeah wish that show was still around.
this song is my blood type
THIS song specifically makes me feel under water haha! Horn of Plenty is so unique and awesome!
that is an awsome song I love it soo much!!!
I love this song so much and the video is amasing also.....Im hoepfully seeing this band live in like a month, cant wait!
I love it when they allow the mix just one decibel of breathing room. @@
Brilliant. The wonderful animation just enhances the great song.
Made me think of 'The life aquatic with Steve Zissou'
Pretty dark stuff, but I get it that it’s a part of younger people’s life memories. I’m an old timer = Classic rocker.
I like when the song gets louder at 2:27
really good drums
I love this video so cool
This comment section gives me that graveyard feeling.
Still my favorite Grizzly Bear song :')
Whatta great little illustration we have here
great vid tyler.........also another classic from grizzly bear
These videos are almost too good that the music isn't getting enough of my attention! Love it though!
aw the lyrics to this song are so good
This is great. They really captured something here.
wow first ad I didn't skip!
my favourite song by far.
Great song....cool video. Very hypnotizing.
Funny you should say that, cuz they opened for Radiohead's North American tour last year. It was a great show! I'd never heard of Grizzly Bear before, but I really liked the sound.
Just saw them at Sasquatch '09. They were amazing.
beautiful. fills my head up, if you know what I mean.
thanks for the quality upload!
ok not sure if i'm imagining this...but this seems like it would be INSANE to watch/listen to high. Even watching it sober is making me FEEL high....lol
this video is so amazing. i love it a billion times very much. wow that made sense lol
this is beautiful. id be so dissapointed if grizzly bear went mainstream.
great song
beautiful
my favorite part is the disco ghost :)
I always seem to love bands like this. Why are they never given the credit they deserve?
All these comments are so old. Still loving this band ! 😌
Look up Daniel Rossen's solo work & Department of Eagles if you want more of "their" content ❤
the real music!!
props to Tyler Coburn! this video is somehow beautiful to me.
Grizzly Bears me explota la nota a otro nivel!!
I love this song and video....even though it looks a little like a computer game I think it fits very nicely =)
@MoondogUSA what's a "thing like a time signature change" are you talking about a key change? Chord progression?
Why am I always utterly confused when I watch a Grizzly Bear music video?
I think it means that in life there are many obstacles that get in our way and intentionally make our lives harder, but in the end we all suffer the same fate.
i wanna get these lyrics tattooed. They mean so much to me.
I love the end.
Just discovered this band.... mesmorised. Can't wait to see them at Glasto.
This band ROCKS much? Can I get a YEAH!?!
wow VERY early pink floyd/the nice ,can almost hear"see Emily play",or" diamond hard" being the next cut! very cool
these guys are way cool!
can't believe this is 13 years old!!
Sinead M yea cuz it's 12yo
Sinead M 10 yrs old? This came out in 2004, its 13 maybe 12 when you wrote this comment
And pop music is 10 times worse.
this is cool
pretty, funny and intelligent... nice combo... whats the catch¿?
@JoshuaSuperham I've always thought of Grizzly Bear as something like Grizzly Bear.
I'd like to play this game.
Now thats a nice sound evoked potential, nice sharp tungsten electrodes recording straight from auditory coretex.............
yesss
@MaxxLargeMaxx well i am a big fan of this band, but its just not true that their sound is uncomprable to anyone else, check out inca ore, grouper, or perhaps the newer portishead album, and im sure there are a lot of "sound-alikes" i havent heard, but all of the ones i mentioned sound kinda similar, notably they all use lots of reverb
I call it music!
i like video its like an old commador game :) proper retro!!!! wel b4 utube n fb n all tht those was the days cassette tapes squeely noises coloured lines on tv while loading and after waiting through all tht it crashed :(
hell yes.
Grizzly bear is rad.
This video is B E A U T I F U L .
Someone make this 1080p please D:.
It doesn't matter if the sound is repetative, doesn't matter if it's to slow, I really like this song !!! beacuse it has a special univer... special feelings, this is why i'm made of this band, they don't need to be popular, they just play their OWN shit !!!
@tokugawahisaka07 aren't they playing Shoots and Ladders?
@rycal1 yeah man it becamed a habit from me that i am only writing titles when i am searching a grizzly bear video :D
Cause that's where most of that stuff comes from, prime example: '60's and '70's and honestly the '80's
Chris is from Seattle, Washington!
nice!
this video is great, it scares the shit out of me
@miceskin The only thing like a time signature change in this song is that abstract nonsense drum fill at the end.
i get weirdly addicted to them
have you seen the sigur ros one? the vil til... (7th song of the second album)
no i think the song you are thinking of is elliot smith - needle in the hay stack
I would not want to get this song confused with 'Deep Blue Sea' at a funeral.
@JoshuaSuperham Sounds about right actually, both great bands too
I never got into grizzly bear...BUT then i heard them when i was HIGH
And now im just moved by thier music......it's fucking brilliant man
I think of Grizzly Bear as Devendra Banhart, Animal Collective and Post-Pet Sounds Beach Boys :D
@rycal1 Or 'Grizzly Bear Vs. Caribou',... a worthy match I must say. :)
@FFXobsessed why won't just bye the album i'm pretty sure the lyrics are in there
:) the skeleton disco made me laugh
@kaninerecords i think it's a bakers's dozen thirteen pearls. "o.......
i just made that last statement come true. im so high, and that video was soo crazy. that's the only reason i came down to read the comments, to see that i wasn't the only one.
PAUL WHO WAS A GHOST now goes scuba diving.
