[@plinimusic]

i loooooove this

[@Hauntedundead]

I second that.

[@ytsersius]

Sounds like Tosin Abasi took some influence from your music ;)

[@Hellborg81]

Agreed!

[@istillsuckatguitar]

Yup. Might overcome "Sweet Nothings" as #1 on my playlist.

[@jed52]

I love your music too.

[@Birdseed99]

Tosin is fucking incredible. But Javier man... that dude can carve musical nostalgia like nobody's business.

[@jeremiahfunke246]

lol

[@Flaggag]

I love you, guy!

[@BeansAottg]

Youd probably enjoy Pierre Bensusan then

[@Hellion6325]

progressive acoustic flamenco metal

[@tohu777]

Jay Lee To be fair, that genre was kind of created by the trio of Al DiMeola, Paco de Lucía & John McLaughlin...

[@logik4264]

Jay Lee this is not metal

[@Hellion6325]

the drums tho

[@xBaphometHx]

Jay Lee Check the old Spanish band called Triana. They were actually progressive flamenco rock.

[@tbos44]

Jay Lee Brazilian prog metal/djent artist Vitalism also applies some flamenco to their tunes, vitalism.bandcamp.com/track/pagan

[@SamBellGuitar]

The songwriting and melodies on this track are out of this world!

[@asacarrington6660]

yea chord melodies are awesome

[@MartinoPosenato]

I can't stop to listen it

[@bryanwroblewski7298]

They could have added distortion in a few parts to make it heavy, but after listening to this im glad they produced it like they did. Animals As Leaders are brilliant

[@JunioriDjazz]

it's the better part of our music (brazil)

[@grievous56]

This song has Javier written all over it.

[@thomashinds3308]

That's probably because Javier wrote all over it

[@azaeldrm]

Biophonism I don't think its a matter of level, it's just different styles and musical backgrounds.

[@Noosphericallyl33t]

Azael del Rosario Yea as i heard, once you get to that level, its not even about whos better. Its about appriating the musical differences between both.

[@SanelvellaS]

Biophonism dude, listen Te Mato by Mestis (Javier Reyes), the originality and the sound is very unique dude

[@m2350]

[@BrandNewByxor]

The outro gets me every time. I love it.

[@chickenpasta7359]

Definitely. Makes me feel like everything is gonna be alright.

[@Th3TeamIMax]

yeah , so peaceful

[@coca8485]

Yeah man the outro stands out to me the most only because of the little digital sounds being played 🤘🏽

[@deadeyes2803]

small world eh?

[@wasianwonderer]

Was walking home from school today after acing a test, looked up to the sky as soon as the outro started and knew it's going to be a good weekend.

[@Brokennindeathloop620]

The one of the most beautiful parts of my life was listening to this song..... I was traveling through Colorado and ate an edible.... I was listening to this album in the passenger seat on this amazing road full of mountains Rivers trees...... When the outro hit on this song I was in awww. I haven't had a moment like that since.... This band kicks ass. It was a feeling I won't forget.

[@paumc33]

Weed can really be synergethic in these moments turning music in life soundtrack xD

[@e_artz1625]

ppl are 2 lazy to look for new music

[@mushymoist8813]

just that most ppl are stuck in mainstream, most of which i do feel is uninspiring

[@Henry-ms1sl]

Coming back to this song after so many years has literally made me cry, between then an now, I overcame my drug addiction, became a parent of two beautiful kids, got my autism, apsergers and ADHD diagnosis, lost all my grandparents and my sweet mom too, became a more competent musician and started studying history independently in my own time. Last time I listened to this me and the mother of my kids (she's an ex now, still get on well with her though) was courting and getting really close to then eventually kiss and be together and listening to it has brought back so so many good and bad memories but it's made me happy really because if has reminded me of how good life really is, I'm a huge lover of life and always am a glass half full kinda guy, so hearing this has made me cry, and nope I don't care what people think, this is why I love music so so much we don't need a time machine to visit the past when we have music to do it for us 🙂❤

[@BRNardy]

Fucking awesome, mate. You got this!!

[@Henry-ms1sl]

@BRNardy thanks mate, still clean too 😊

[@Knight-brolaire]

easily my favorite track on this album.

[@a3uu]

want this to play in the background of my life

[@JayBiznizz]

Fall asleep to it on repeat

[@Adrian.katzenstein]

2:35 Couldn't help but to think of Chon ! This song is a masterpiece.

[@saxonsmith1875]

Its like Spanish guitar djent! :p

[@shucklesors]

the songwriting here is honestly a heck of a lot more coherent than Chon. its so much more beautiful than an attempt to string some unrelated notes and weird syncopations for the sake of being called 'complicated'.

[@arrestedshrimp]

I love how alot of people judged and thought they knew what the new album would sound like based off of tooth and claw and lippincott lol, every song is completely different. you see this is why you don't judge a band based off of ONE or TWO songs. especially a band like animals as leaders that is notorious for being versatile

[@devongonzalez2037]

love the outro drums at the end. nice and calm china splashing at the end.

[@thesparcle1]

Being a Portuguese i can assure you that "Para mexer" means "to move" and the guitar sound on this track reminds me a lot of the Portuguese music genre Fado.. maybe thats why they gave it a portuguese name

[@METALLiCMETALLEr]

Indeed 😁

[@armaduco]

Javier uses to name his songs with portugues and spanish name, for exemple "Luz e Cielo" and "Te Mato".

[@larryjuicepop]

Joel Faisca definitely with a lot of bossa nova (Brasilian) influence in there too. The first ten seconds totally sounds like something Sergio Mendes was doing. After that (from like :15 to :22) the guitar line is very fado-ish. The guitar work around 1:10 with the finger style picking reminds me a lot of Pedro from Madredeus. totally makes sense a couple of Portuguese dudes would be listening to very technical music though, right?

[@ricardo4618]

larryjuicepop exact. I've listened a lot,but I think it has a lot more influence in it's fully on bossa nova classical guitarrists, as tom jobim and rosinha valença... brazillian guitar is very present in this track. Fado has it's presence but in only some periods of The song. Anyway, greetings from brasil haha!

[@larryjuicepop]

Ricardo Fontes cheers from California. I love Brasil and its people my dear friend!! Keep listening to good music!

[@sageof6paths1]

That groove at 2:36... Wow!!! I'm so impressed with this album. Its so eclectic and this song really stands out so much. Its a completely different side of the band. Just amazing!!

this song is so much javier, this is an amazing cross of AAL and mestis. Im very happy to see javier have a noteable spot in the song writing :)

[@PSNDaSingh]

The ending

[@AndreBoecklin]

This title would fit perfectly in almost every AAL song, lol.

[@MagicSwagget12]

Having always skipped this song while listening to the album, I can now say after playing it through I was missing out so much

[@luiserickvaldiviaschaffner8646]

you just dont skip one álbum song

[@adrummingdog2782]

Wow that ending is beautiful

[@Ur4hara]

Why is this the best song ever

[@DeeEfSea]

Well shiver me timbers on the outro folks..

[@cebolla1449]

everyone talks about 2:36 but the riff at 1:12 might be my favorite thing ever

[@ITMRDesigner]

0:00 "to groove with", that's the right translation cheers from BR ❤

[@nardtardzTV]

I can definitely feel TRAM vibes from this song

[@brandonlachance5072]

This is one of my all time favorite tojin songs.

[@valuablesandwich]

Floor tom at 4:10 makes all the bad times go away

[@excedrinmigrainesouffle]

This album is so much more chilled than their previous ones. It's beautiful.

[@sanitytheorist8221]

Sooooo much Al Di Meola in this!

[@ND-iz6dd]

Crazy to think this album is close to being 10 years old.

[@stalmeseto]

Javier Reyes makes my body hair Rise.

[@c0hink176]

1:53 this section is like an acoustic breakdown, I love it

[@dantealvarezmaggi1146]

Flamenco metal!

[@stevenkemp3465]

this makes me even more anxious for a new Mestis release.

The acoustidjent part gets me every time.

[@leeeligon]

Try not to cry listening to this

[@MitchellvdEeckhout]

The art on the cover seems to move, even though it's static. Fits the music perfectly!

[@jrutski1]

my new favorite animals as leaders song. every album gets better and better

[@murdastick]

I'm thinking he used the 8-string acoustic guitar on this track. Very awesome spice that this track contributed to this 80 oz. steak of an album!

[@OwenHoover]

mexer = to move... as in the joy of MOTION

[@zheydhan665]

Come float, my friend! I could go away forever if not for the last drum part that no matter what, i can't get it, the independence is way to much for my petty afficionado status. This track is too much, i don't deserve it!

[@David93434]

"for shake" doesn't even make sense, this means "to move" which I guess is related with the joy of motion

[@diogoRibeirinha]

it's probably "to move" tbh.

[@David93434]

Yeah that's what I said! I was kind of replying to another comment

[@CochoSGO]

"mexer" isn't even a real spanish word!

[@David93434]

+Cocho Rock well nobody ever said this was spanish XD I translated it according to my language, which is portuguese!

[@guilhermeribeiro7168]

"mexer" is a portuguese word! it means "to shake" ;)

[@joseemanuel5284]

This is so good it's unreal

[@SteampunkTigerlily18]

Wow, flamenco metal? This is brilliant and beautiful :D

[@logik4264]

SteampunkTigerlily18 there is no metal elements in it.

[@BiggestNightmareJim]

***** the drums. and listen to 1:55 definitely metal elements... beautiful elements :)

[@SteampunkTigerlily18]

Yeah I was thinking more along the lines of the time signature rather than the degree of how distorted the sound was. I suppose a lot of prog/djent stuff couldn't be called "heavy metal" in itself, but you can clearly trace its roots back to that.

[@logik4264]

SteampunkTigerlily18 progressive rock/fusion - definitely. But metal is harsh, aggressive, loud and obnoxious (in a good way) not calm, pretty and charmful like this song :)

[@rafaelrios7060]

***** wikipedia says that they're a instrumental progressive metal band/jazz fusion band.some progressive metal bands like symphony x and even obscura have a similarity with them.

[@MrPhrozenbit]

They dive right into the song, now that's something!

[@PulsTheCat]

Ah che orgasmo di disco, è uscito da due anni ma continuo ad ascoltarmelo con grande piacere. La parte centrale dell'album è stratosferica
