    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.

      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.

    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.

    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

      I could see a group of "good guys" blasting this before going to war for the one and only true cause, whatever that is.

    This song, album and band has changed my life so much. I remember the first time I got introduced to this band 11 years ago... My older brother showed me it when I was just a kid and from that point I have listened to them through out all the years. Thank you Animal Collective for helping me get through life and for showing me how powerful music can really be

    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
