Please excuse the recent overabundance of Animal Collective, but the thing is: I think I realized (one of the reasons) why I love them (or at least Noah Lennox) so much. It's because they (or he) write(s) some of the best love songs out there. Theyre always so simple and playful and sweet. And aside from the magical, consummate sound of AC, their lyrics alone are singularly wonderful.
Take "Summertime Clothes," for example. Not only does this song make me fantasize about warm weathered activities, but it also makes me cozy with the idea of a simple, summertime love. The one thing they repeat is: "I want to walk around with you." And ... I know how that feels.
I dont want to type the lyrics to this song because many of them I cannot decipher. Just listen to it, please.
It's about being hot and bored ... and blissful.
I'm not sure whether I miss that or whether Im ready to experience it for the first time.
I dont think this makes any sense. I'm really, unbelievably tired.
