Young red bird
They’re just natural feelings
I can’t keep from changing my brains
Bending my wants with my rights
Are my friends still half right
Should I keep them separate from me
It’s unclear
Then I get a cold
Can I get a light
It’s a certain type of easy pace
That’s what we need to make it
Come in close
I trust you
Your nose dipped in my sweat
It dripped on your beautiful sweater
Kind of nice
Should I really lie with you
I never know
When I’m on my own
Are there more important things to do
Then kiss or sleep today we gotta wake up
Then I talk to your breath and we
Enjoy the air
And I creep on your chest
To the hut I have
Where I pluck a few notes
On the strands of your hair
And I’m singing to you
What to do if I’d ask you to make funny faces
With me in the mirror of the bathroom
Know your next
You make me feel alright
Are you just like me
Never gonna pick one kind of fruit
Like a mushed banana on your tooth
And you like the sting of the cherry juice
Never eat an apple
That’s just one color
Young red bird
They’re just natural feelings
Like walking off to ride my bike
Or just bump into you
I haven’t seen you in a week or three days
Though it really bugs me
It’s nice to find new ways to smile
I keep thinking that
When you feel sad you can’t pout
Cause what this song’s about is me singing
I’m just wondering what to do with you myself and me
Naked in the mirror of the bathroom
Young red bird theyre just natural feelings

this song is so beutifull, i got more attention brought to me for this song by the video performed acousticly, both versions are beutifull but this is the original final real version although i still like both this song is just so beutifull
The whole concept of judging art or music as pretentious seems nonsensical though, as integralprod noted. No one is claiming anything when they write a song or make a work of art; whether its that their song/art should be greatly admired or that it is revolutionary, or anything like that. All of those comments are made by listeners, so you can't apply the "pretentious" qualifier to an artist unless they *say* they are revolutionary or something like that. But here they haven't, so its illogical
Oh man seriously. I blast animal collective with my friends. Some don't like it because they fine more pleasure listening to overproduced, emotionless, "what's popular." They say this stuff is too weird and kinda boring. I just let it slide because their music makes me want to become a seriously loving person.
You know, I love Animal Collective, and I love this song in particular.
But Christ guys, not everyone's going to like it, stop internet shouting at everyone who has a negative comment. Just let it slide and mellow out.
