Animal Collective - My Girls (Official Video)

[@declancunningham6849]

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.

[@santii8169]

Sounds like your Dad had the jams, stay strong my brother.

[@mandycourteau6028]

What a wonderful memory. Your dad sounds like a wonderful man. Dad's have such a great influence in our lives and I know how important music is and how deeply it connects us all. Wish you peace when listening to the jams you and your dad shared ❣️

[@daveneedham232]

Sounds like a top fella. Rest Easy .

[@PsycheSlut]

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.

[@linkinparkrulz2275]

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.

I am 50 years old. Just had to write a will. The jerks in my life are going to have to listen to this at my funeral. Punks not dead.

[@DadsOnBass]

one of my favorite songs ever! And the lyrics are on point!

[@Boothmeister]

Only song I have ever had a spiritual experience whilst listening to it. Such a magnificent magical thing they created.

[@oooohsnaaaap]

10 years later, looking back, I now realize how underrated this track is and have a new appreciation for it

[@charliez077]

underrated is relative - this was kinda widely considered one of the best tracks of the decade :)

[@kacperklimkowski2271]

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

[@dulapeep5609]

great description

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

Still one of the best songs I have ever heard, 9 years later.

[@WestCoasHaze]

Never cared much about Animal Collective, but I always loved this song. Probably because of the Juno 106 (I was a huge techno nerd). 15 yeas later and I come back to this song because the lyrics are so real. Having listened to a significant amount of music over the past 2 decades, I still think this one of the greatest songs

[@cantnv1]

I don't normally listen to electronic music, but...something about this song...gives me the feels!

[@austinmartos7010]

[@illiteratethug3305]

I fucking love any band that puts obscure building references into their songs. Apparently, their next album is an ambitious 2-disc concept album about self-levelling cement.

That a song from one day to the next becomes part of your life and knowing that you will remember it forever, that sh1t doesn't happen all the time.

I had just signed the contract to move into my first house and the chain fell thru today. This has been my favourite song for 10 years; I decided to listen to it today and the “I only want a proper house” lyrics hit me like a ton of bricks (as if I wasn’t expecting it) Can’t wait to provide four walls and abode slabs for my girls.... bom bom ooooohhh

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

When I was young, maybe 12 or 13, I was awake around 2:30 a.m. watching MTV2. I want to preface this by saying at the time I was almost exclusively listening to Numetal. So I am half awake and this video starts playing. The instant the guitar exploded through my television it was like a nuclear bomb exploded in my mind. The song, the video, the lyrics, all of it, in that moment it changed me completely. A whole new world appeared in front of me and I never wanted to go back to where I was before. I ended up buying the album, Funeral, on itunes and played the album in its entirety hundreds of times. About a year later I decided to google the band the first thing that came up was Pitchfork Media's review of the album. A 9.7. At the time I didnt know how significant that score was and how monumental the album was but that day I entered a rabbit hole of music I still have not left. From Arcade Fire to Animal Collective to Deerhunter to so many more amazing bands all because when I was a dumb teenager I stayed awake too late and was blessed with true magic. Now these days I show my son all the songs I love. Few things bring me more joy. Thank you, MTV2.

[@AAARREUUUGHHHH]

When I first heard this song I didn't think much of it. I then got high as balls at a time when I was really struggling with depression and listened to it again. I cried at how beautiful it was, the sound and the theme both. Ultimately, that's all I wanted too, contentment with family and a roof over my head. MPP quickly became my favourite album.

[@stickstickly9141]

So we had the same exact experience! I was going through an awful time with my OCD which lead to me becoming severely depressed, and I was on a trip at this time 13 years ago. I snuck out of the 4th of july party to smoke a bowl. My iPod classic had this song ripped from youtube on it and I heard it and I remember resonating with the lyrics to such an extreme, cause throughout all the tribulations and pain my neurosis brought me, I knew in the end that all I wanted was to be happily married with my girlfriend at the time with a daughter. 13 years later, he would be stunned to know that I ran into her about half a year after graduated college, and that we would get married and have a beautiful child.

[@yugen]

Damn. Forgot about this song. Last time I heard it my grandfather (my dad) was still alive. One of the last things he said was "Take care of your grandma and Susie (my girlfriend)." Gives more meaning to "on my father's grave" even though this song made me tear up before he was gone.

[@imsosmart942]

When I'm listening to this song, I know that anything I'm doing will be beautiful and perfect...

The first minute of this song I found the background track almost overwhelmingly busy/chaotic, but the longer I listen it's like it fades into the background and the lyrics get more prominent, and it's kinda blowing my mind
