Taken By Trees - "My Boys"

[@LH3plus2]

Victoria is adorable! I loved her voice first time I heard it on the radio years ago singing "YOUNG FOLKS" with Peter, Bjorn and John. Then I found the girl so cute and mysterious on the video by New Order "Temptation". I recently learned that darling girl on the NEW ORDER video was the same girl who sings YOUNG FOLKS. After learning more about her I found "Taken by Trees"and "The Concretes". I have a NEW ( but has been around along time) pop star I just love.....VICTORIA BERGSMAN! I am usually a head with music. Not this time. Lots of years passed. with only knowing the girl on young folks has an awesome voice. She even makes one of my favorite bands "New Order" video "The temptaion of Victoria" soooo cool.

[@marimardepp]

this is my favorite song from them. Makes me feel like going out and playing in the sun

[@spicyxlilxman]

i like how she played with the rhythm. it's a very creative yet true cover. love it.

[@marcodesousalago3703]

Gosto da voz dela, Vitória tem uma melancolia agradável e tocante... Uma perfeição, eu diria sempre! Abraços galera e saudações nordestinas do Brasil 🙏🏻🌹😊

[@clone0001]

Beautiful voice!

[@brittnaahhh]

Really niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, love Taken By Trees for doing this.

[@Catyrina13]

Of course she did, almost all of the songs that she listen, I listen too! XD Best actress ever!!

[@RickDeee]

13 years later and I’ve listened to this way more than the Animal Collective version

[@roxy2812]

she is amazing live. amazing

[@dcayabs]

This is so wonderful.

[@LieutenantSarcasm26]

This is one of the coolest songs ever :)

[@ascript]

I find it amazing that something this nice could come from an Animal Collective song.

[@ambercollective]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh! so beautiful!!! I clicked on this not even knowing it was an animal collective cover! I love animal collective! this is so pretty! eeeeeeeee!

[@wimlabye35]

still ❤ this song...

[@stankey626]

@greenbayandtottenham the part "adobe flats" refers to two different things. Apartments are also known as flats (In other English-influenced countries like the UK). Adobe is a building material made by indigenous people that consists of mud, clay, and stuff like hay. So it comes together as an apartment made of mud bricks.

[@cyril0027]

Love this video

[@theboghoo]

This is a very great cover!!

[@jakesimanek]

the instrumentation is very agreeable and the over all tone of the song has produced a nice, clean, repaired feeling in my chest. and the combination of the symmetrical but still organic rhythm of the drums with the playful overtone of the plucking strings is very breakthrough. and i appreciate how the melody is held artistically and how it's coupled politely with the intellectual feel of the synth. the remake of this song was obviously a poetic concept that was translated into non-verbal form

[@megstupid]

ooh this is so lovely

[@markjulia77]

Excellent video, excellent album!

[@hampsterbb]

ohmyjeesies this song is amazinggg~

[@stude444]

I don't understand why people think she has a bad voice. I think it sounds perfect.

[@YoourElectricFeel]

both are really good.

[@BeTrue2beingYou]

love it!

[@lutfanfatoni5747]

love this song

[@JohnnyPetsCats]

Ah this is great! I like this and I like Animal Collective.

[@15minoflame]

i used to listen to this song on walks around my hood. back in 2010.

[@1Lo1L]

1:35 Did she always say "With a little cat" Because I have never ever noticed before and My Girls is my favorite song and I have listened to this song many times... I was so shocked when I heard it on Pandora just now I had to look it up.

[@YOUENNNN]

so pure

[@caelanwilliamson4284]

ayyy i was like animal collective? this was tight!

[@MrKazzi0]

[@jeshopper]

[@Chris-cm3qk]

This needs more likes and views

[@Uptemphoe]

Omg Animal Collective + Taken By Trees = Beauty. I love her other song Lost & found :3

[@RastaLee]

Funny you should say that, Victoria Bergsman actually did work with Tracyanne Campbell on a song on the Taken By Trees album

[@modestlyneutral]

How is it possible that I have not heard this before? Awesome. Fucking awesome.

[@phallusee]

I also heard it playing at The Gap about a year ago.

[@Mars0War]

Only made the connection to Animal Collective once the song started. Very interesting rendition.

[@rockafellers]

wow !!

[@NaNdgate]

Usually when people cover songs they ruin them. There are few exceptions. Congratulations on not ruining this song. It might as well be an acoustic version.

[@nicck]

She also did a video for Camera Obscura.

[@hugofernandogasparadame2446]

Good song! :D

[@xoxAshh137]

Animal Collective would be proud

[@oscarmassive]

love it

[@Wwhackk]

@JWJD Thanks my man.

[@222julieta]

nice musik

[@hightimesbruce]

Her current look reminds me of Tracyanne from Camera Obscura. Great song.

[@kotiushca]

Me encanta (:

[@PerhapsToast2]

THIS BEAT GOES HARD A F

[@lVIouse]

cute luv animal collective

[@Calaquita4e]

nice! la ame!!!! =)

[@MaryBear]

:) this is good.. did animal collective do this first?

[@carlaflorio5567]

Imma let you finish Animal Collective but Taken by trees had one of the best covers of all time

[@Teknikly]

This reminds me of the Felix Green - Peacebone cover. Both have similar vocals and acoustics.

[@PinkoLady]

@JPizzle1490 Well, in my opinion, a good cover isn't about someone trying to recreate a song exactly, but more about reinterpreting it. TbT just happen to reinterpret this song as a breezy saturday afternoon tune, rather than a dance song. It's humdrum if you're looking for it to hold up in the exact same context as the original, maybe, but taken for what it is...

[@CzesMeyer]

most beautiful girl

[@TheSecondComingRXSC]

My only nitpick would be the changing of the song's title, but don't get me wrong it really isn't a big deal. Animal Collective is one of those groups that has both found and invested in a sound that only they can produce, which makes successfully covering their work nigh impossible. While the original version is in absolutely no danger of being surpassed by this cover in my opinion this is still a very impressive , and commendable performance.

[@amazingstrawberry]

she makes a completely new song of it. you can compare both versions.

[@mahajohn]

Whether or not she "looks like" Eminem, I must say that Victoria Bergsman has to be one of the most uniquely beautiful people I've ever seen. I need to play guitar with this lady.

[@MewithoutCure]

this cover is better than original version :P

[@niceforachange2013]

the parallel between the original and this cover proves that gender barriers are insignificant. amazing song with an amazing message.

[@kingoflimbs1]

She can walk a meeaan tightrope. I don't think I can love her anymore than I do now.

[@theartemisgland]

Animal Collective - My Girls for the unity of experience.

[@alanator6333]

@lenabeamish haha reminds me of the song "When They Really Get To Know You They'll Run" by Pedro The Lion

[@slingingofstars69]

"i just want 4 walls and adobe slats for my girls... fuck, i mean boys"

[@Onass777]

LOL!!!!!! u r funny!

[@petervischiofilm]

@greenbayandtottenham i'm assuming she's saying adobe slabs, and they're just essentially mud bricks

[@PinkoLady]

I love this, and I the original... a lot! But... since when is "social status" a material thing...?

[@PEACE95LUV]

laaaaaavley

[@Fundillo156]

ilike this version by far over animal collective

[@PinkoLady]

@farfigneugan42 Well, I was just referring to what JPizzle claimed of the original, though yeah, it's maybe only a "dance" song if you're talking about swaying around in a drug-induced stupor or prancing around a bonfire or something.

[@dropdeadalina]

so fucking awesome

[@ThomComputer]

@lenabeamish it's almost wonderful!

[@MrSlurmsMacKenzie]

whiggity wham wham wozzle!

[@jordan10la]

@ascript Why? AnCo have some really nice songs.

[@tryandcatchup1st]

@joshd108 hahaha I thought I was the only one who did that when I find good music!

[@lhn001]

Fantastic sound. What an idea, go to Pakistan and make a record. Brave girl!

[@maelenebaby]

This song played while I kissed my honey in the rain. Epic song!

[@plenilunium]

I am just curious due to the time that has passed. Is your honey still there?

[@shinigamideathgirl]

@erahahaha ...wow you're right.

[@DomSMASH]

hi

[@xxLivvy212xx]

interesting cover

[@ErikaIsabel3]

hey soo cute

[@Petahx3]

@ingridandfranca lol I just discovered this song at a Starbucks 5 mins ago!

[@briscoredknight]

I want to enjoy this but I work at Panera...

[@SirWolfwoodIII]

+Christian Knight If you cant enjoy it , why did you look it up on youtube and comment " I want to enjoy this but ".. fishing much ?

[@ThomComputer]

@lacrossedivaz i know it doesn't have to be! it just sounded so strange compared to the original. i would rather that it would be an interpretaion rather than simply a cover. never dissed the song, even though i'm not a fan!

[@joaotopi]

wow, shes great!!! maybe she could be great on slackline

[@LimTasky]

@ImSTTM Your Eminem comment made my day.

[@eastmanmj]

@JPizzle1490 Can see where you are coming from, but it would be kind of boring if they hadn't totally changed the song. I think the upbeat chill mood is an awesome change.

[@PrairieDon1021]

Voice of an angel + face of a Detroit hip-hop artist/Gogo from Kill Bill + feet of a Hobbit = this chick apparently

[@dannyhaobam9858]

Sounds like Camera Obscura covering Animal Collective.

[@farfigneugan42]

@PinkoLady the original is NOT a dance song.... is it? I've never thought of animal collective as "dance"...

[@ImSTTM]

1:59 I didn't know eminem was a fan of animal collective!

[@iYJAM]

ahahaa

[@MaryBear]

wow i just realized this is from animal collective

[@torecapogna]
