LYRICS
Verse 1:
Under your hard lens,
making making too few ends
meet a middle ground I know, it's defense
Oily hands, slippery slope
Pointed fangs without scope
Understand me
I know
No mistaken time goes
undeserved without, everything, everyone you know
Even if Will calls
Doesn't mean fall out
We once had a thing I know, banished
All of my rights lingering
It isn't a place that I've been
Chorus:
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna know the lies
Shouldn't ever be what it was alright
I'll choose to believe what's right
Even if in the end I'm blind
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna know the lies
Couldn't ever be what it was, alright?
Verse 2:
Even if we send
Everything from both ends
So little left to, say, do, it depends
If we are past what we keep
All that was promised that was sheathed
No mention of our,
unchecked accord
I leave this, without, regret, or hearsay
Even though I'll move on
Doesn't mean this goes strong
Can't believe it to be, undone, finished
Say what you want me to believe
Please show me something I can see
Repeat Chorus:
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna know the lies
Wouldn't ever be what it was alright
I'll choose to believe what's right
Even if if in the end I'm blind
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna know the lies
Shouldn't ever be what it was, alright
I'll choose to believe to believe what right
Even if in the end I'm blind

I used to listen a lot to grizzly bear when i was 18 during autumn. Realizing i would never feel again how i felt when listening to them the first time. But i didnt know about this song and its the most powerful ever. To listen to them again like its something brand new to my ears made me euphoric.

[@richardtppc]

Totally!!!

[@galaxywoofer]

I had the same feeling when I first listened to Yellow House, in late high school. Found their song, Easier, from an [adult swim] bump. It made me feel a sort of nostalgia for things I never was there for. It was beautiful

[@gahbrieu]

I haven't stopped listening to this for "Two Weeks"

[@colinwoonsue]

😂😂😂👍🏼”Att-att-att!!!!!” Hahahahahahha. Great Dad Joke

[@felixlopez2527]

You deserve the whole love ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ anyone could give you

[@atlasg2402]

Shut up

[@ThattAsiianKiid]

There is so much soul into this song, idk why some people choose the diplo remix over this lol

[@emmanueloluga9770]

@403 Forbidden Well stated. There are both amazing and magical in their own way. This is more melodic and Cathartic. Diplo's is more cheerful and euphoric

[@aintnoway]

because its extremely slow and you need to be patient

[@mitchellconta4472]

Dood 4 focc'n real.

[@liiminalspacess]

@@aintnoway i think the slow build up makes the drop so worth it, but hey that’s just me

[@billyparham630]

I got through four seconds of the remix, I'm actually baffled by how little it has in common with this wonderful little gem

[@Fushtache]

This is stupendous and it's a B-side, what even.

[@CptOblivious]

Diplo didn't bring me here

[@igeek912]

22 (or more) people were too impatient to pay attention! This songs a production win. It's beautiful and if I made a movie-- this song's on the soundtrack. They are classy. Thank you Grizzly Bear.

[@chago7606]

"I don't wanna be, I don't wanna know the lies"

[@bradkasteler]

There just needs to be a fully produced version of this song.

[@pascal-janssen]

i actually love the rawness of it, but i do wish the last part at 4:08 kept was longer

[@carlosandre1992]

​@@pascal-janssen 🔉🔊🎧🎵🎶

[@merlijntoby8528]

i came here from the diplo remix and sweet mother of god i regret nothing

[@BurlesqueInsolent]

I couldnt agree more.

[@ashtonyoung]

+Merlijn Toby And to think that it's a bonus track too. Grizzly Bear has a unique way of getting to people. I think it's beautiful to see the change Grizzly Bear has had on you. They changed me too.

[@ashtonyoung]

Merlijn Toby That's sick you got the B Sides on Vinyl. I first got into Grizzly Bear maybe 2-3 years ago when I first heard "Two weeks" and a couple other songs from Veckatimest off of Pandora. I "legally obtained" the album (don't worry I have changed my ways now that I've grown up a bit) and listened to it on a family car trip. I was totally spaced out for most of it but I remember a crazy cool vibe from "Southern Point" and being totally tripped out by "Dory". Later in the trip I decided to give it a proper listen as we drove through the wavy hills and white mountains of South Dakota. We were driving to see Mt. Rushmore. People sometimes write off states like that as having nothing but it was honestly one of the most beautiful places I'd ever been. Whenever I listen to the album now, I think of how it felt to look out the window listening to it and experience pure bliss. Grizzly Bear has definitely impacted my life. I'm not sure if you know, but if you don't you should check out "Department of Eagles" which is Grizzly Bear's lead singer's band before Grizzly Bear formed. It sounds like you're a pretty big fan, and as such you absolutely need to hear at least these tracks "Ghost in Summer Clothes" (real version and demo version) and "Piano in the Bathtub". Let me know what you think.

[@mitchellconta4472]

Most life changing song I've ever heard, and I went to college for music. 🙏

[@forrestfox5858]

thanks for sharing this thought, Ive always felt this way but never really gotten much of a response when I've shared this great band with friends, id say about 50/50.

[@mccalltrent7121]

I feel sad listening to this, I love how music can make me feel so vulnerable like this,

[@gasa1165]

Cassidy Trent I know right, it's just crazy.

[@MultiBloodythorn]

What the hell is this?!?! Pure gold Gold gold to my hears, didn't feel like this since foreground!!

[@lonelytrain]

This song is absolutely stunning. I almost cried when I heard it, haha. You guys never cease to amaze me, great work x

[@jakemargerison9262]

Favourite song, favourite band

[@SaltySicilian]

Droste vocals always heartfelt and powerful. Chris Taylor, always playing what's needed. Chris bear, making everything interesting. Dan, making the sound GB official. Great work

[@ArtificialIntelNat]

So Quickly one of my favorite bands...

[@evelynolvera9591]

I absolutely adore this song

[@eagletmars]

This is beyond brilliant. Emotional and yet mysterious. Such a shame it didn't make it on shields but then again, it doesn't fit the vibe of the album. This song is not B-side material it's too good for that. Perhaps it could be a whole new album following this same flow.

[@MuggsyStyle]

its so nice to see them ushering in more jazz influence, even if its very subtle. what a band these guys are

[@christopherbarber5283]

That chorus is freaking amazing

[@bobdobbs5844]

I gotta say this shit gets intense kinda hooked to this song

[@evelynortega3142]

My favorite band is Grizzly Bear. I haven't seen them in concert, nor do I see that happening anytime soon (financial struggles), but I want them to know I adore them, and I hope you guys keep doing what you're doing forever, because you do it the best.

[@LeoTdubstep]

A very moving piece of music. It’s music like this that really resonates with the individual. Truly wonderful.

[@internetsummoner]

Everytime I listen to this band it bring tears to my eyes...Wish I found out about this band before painted ruins ! Well, better late then never as they say !!

[@Ceereeal]

I found out about them in 2020… technically not though cause that was just Two Weeks. So I really started listening to them this year

[@g8spikyhair]

The thing about diplo's remix is that it changes the genre therefore changing the demographic. Individuals yearning for an upbeat song will side with the remix while others seeking the slower paced Indy tune will find the original to their liking...the verdict is that the two songs cannot be compared to one another as better or worse is subjective to the genre of music one affiliates with.

[@danevati]

This has to be a joke

[@timarmesto2685]

Actually I think the remix is very depressing. This just happens to be even more somber due to less instruments

[@nguyenchinh7349]

This isn't Grizzly Bear best work but i think the remix didn't help at all. I gave up immediately at the cringy melodic drop. I like some of Diplo works too but not the remix.

[@cosmug2935]

I love this song so much.

[@filippmjod]

its beautiful that u like slow emotional stuff , the best

[@Amberskiesmusic]

i love everything Grizzly bear. i also love Daniel Rossen, his solo shit, the department of eagles... EVERYTHING

[@sidnomis1]

Amber Skies Word.

[@astarfleetjedi]

Amber Skies no one does it like you lol

[@CheezdudeRevisited]

close to song of the year

[@maguilunavia]

The end though!

[@EdgarJ213]

Been a fan of Grizzly Bear since late 2008, first time listening to this song. They never cease to amaze me with their heart wrenching lyrics and beautiful music. Wow.

[@pascal-janssen]

same takes me back when i used to be 17, hearing this ten years later for the first time hit me with a wave of nostalgia i can't describe

thanks

[@Isabel-kh6nr]

Yyyeesss

[@PedroJTH17]

My favourite song in the whole world.

[@alexandriab9928]

Its a beautiful song :) Beautiful songs get remixed into equally beautiful pieces of work. It's pieces of heart.

[@RabbleRowsette]

This is magical. Also, I'm pretty sure Chris Bear is a genius.

[@kerrybutcher3833]

they recorded at night in Marfa, Texas. lots of crickets out there in the desert

[@luciacorigliano814]

Just fell in love with this bands music.

[@noslowerdna]

After listening to the diplo remix hundreds of times, hearing this for the first time is just surreal.

[@phatwhitz1333]

My bro been listening to this since it came out , he’s a genius at finding good music

[@pentateuch908]

What a fucking song.

[@CrazyShakerPL]

Thanks Diplo for helping me discover such an amazing band

[@stevnicoe]

The more I listen the more I fall in love.

[@Behemiathan]

I get goosebumps every time I play this.

[@jimbot2474]

Such a good song... So many layers

[@Cmonkey1980]

This song is fantastic but the drums are mind-blowing incredible!

[@JNuzah]

Truly unreal musicians..

[@phObia19]

It feels like a beginning of a whole new album, on another level of brilliance

[@parrie279]

Diplo’s Version: How I start my day. The Original: How I end my day.

[@phObia19]

Feels more experimental than others... Love its subtlety

[@foolonthehill97]

Chorus: "I don't wanna be, I don't wanna know the lies Shouldn't ever be what it was, alright I'll choose to believe what's right Even if in the end I'm blind I don't wanna be, I don't wanna know the lies Couldn't ever be what it was, alright

[@tapestapes0]

Never until now i realize how good this is

[@ceeeeeebs]

Timeless. Truly a work of art.

[@phoenixwolf1977]

I play air drums to this... like a boss. 😂

[@kaisercorax5412]

Sun In Your Eyes is divine, easily one of the greatest pieces of music this century.

[@ohmwithanomega]

Stop saying that Diplo's Version sucks. It's totally different. And it's for me the best Diplo song. This one's great, Diplo's remix's great too

[@-overkoze-3568]

Funkadafunk I'm very addicted to diplo version is sounds so good

[@raincloud6320]

praise the lord

[@abigailljeann]

I haven't stopped listening to this for two days

[@Lucas7Claus]

The outro is phenomenal. Really hope there's more like it if they make a new album!

[@Diimondc]

Finally came here after listening to diplos remix a bazillion times and yes GAWD this is magic! This and the remix are fire 🔥🔥

[@emmanueloluga9770]

ChantelleDiimond you know it

[@DeinemudderHauke]

Check out the remix by Baths too!

[@Ceereeal]

I DONT WANNA BE, I DONT WANNA KNOW THE LIIIIIIES

[@kaisercorax5412]

This is perfection in a song.

[@izyanrosli246]

Lost count of how many times I've listened to this but this time I read the lyrics and it hit me, hard. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you once ag

[@jorm6194]

I don't understand how it took me nearly 10 years to learn of this B-side

[@nash3425]

Just true beauty that warms the heart

[@mytoemytoe]

Definitely a different vibe than that of Shields. Shields is less emotional and more technical. That's what I love so much about "What's Wrong".

[@Ceereeal]

Is it though? Some tracks on shields are pretty emotional. Although I kinda see what you mean, Shields seems a lot more emotionally mellow than say, Veckatimest which goes through a lot of different themes

[@MarcosViniciusmvinip]

Just a piece of art, as expected. :)

[@Duchovnymusic]

I can't wait to hear the rest of these b-sides.

Unconditional love for you as musicians. Absolutely lovely

[@EquinaCauda]

Jesus H. Christopher I am infatuated with this song and this band.

[@RedSharpiePen]

not even yet again? that was one of the best tracks

[@JosephineBergmann]

I hope they will play this live someday and that I'll be there to witness it

[@LexPab]

i love this band...! this is my favourite song from the Shields: B-Sides album..!

[@bobdabeastyo]

This song is amazing, but it definitely was meant to be listened to on vinyl. I bought "B-Sides" this weekend on vinyl and this song is magical with the speakers on full blast

[@musicmodeon9684]

This is one of my new fav songs

[@nachodaddy7863]

in two weeks she'll listen to it yet again

[@89karis]

I dont care who u ARE OR where U live, THEY ARE JAMMIN!!!!

This song is amazing...

[@toadandlostlover]

words cant describe my love for this song *-*

[@leahbeahh]

I like both versions but I heard the diplo remix first and really wanted to hear the original but its kind of sad how difficult it was the find the original on youtube lol. that being said I personally like this version much better it's really beautiful and emotionally raw this way Im happy I sought it out

[@abigailkauai]

oh my this chill atmosphere is incredible

[@alielllai]

i'm so happy right now!

[@dragonjay7277]

Dude making that diplo remix from this song is incredible. Diplo is a genius.

[@ToraMusic]

Haunting.

[@themicrowave4410]

Originals are always the better one, you can like a remix more but there not better than the original. I personaly like both a lot.

[@Rrretrospector]

so amazing. can't even put into words what I'm feeling for this song and what I'm anticipating for the rest of Expanded. love you Grizzly Bear

[@leocd3080]

What a song. It's like being inmersed in music. 4th listening in a row...
