My Dad passed away around a month ago now at only 51, and throughout his later years all he could ever talk about was that you HAD to listen to Animal Collective. like no other band mattered, even though he was a die hard Beach Boys Fanatic for almost 2 decades, this song made him go down the rabbit hole of every remix, remaster, and independent artist's music from the collectives music coming to modern day 2024. He described this track as the perfect pop song, and honestly I cant disagree with him. and for me being only 16 I think my big man put me on some pretty good shit when it comes to music, seeing how he blasted Merriweather everywhere we went as soon as I came out the womb . he used to see them live at least 5 times and finally got to take me at my birthday shortly before he was sent to the hospital. best concert of my life still to this day. To many more listens and tears shed to a song that has aged like wine...love you dad.

I used to listen to this song while dreaming of my future family. Currently married, carrying our first child and this song is so nostalgic.

[renatocarvalho]

One of the best songs ever made. Doesn't sound like that "2009" sound. Truly timeless.

15 years have gone by and I have never heard ANYTHING like this before or again. I feel like I’m more impressed by it now. It’s so unique.

This song is such a trip for me - I remember in college thinking “I don’t want much but I want what he says in this song”

Now I have a wife, a daughter and 4 walls for “My Girls”

It’s currently 5:30 in the morning in El Paso Texas and my 3 year old son is awake fighting a cold and this beautiful song and video is what I payed for him and he couldn’t get enough. To you animal collective 🍺

[brentbear]

This song is so beautiful. It makes me want to be a stronger person.

[asocialfairy]

No other ways to describe this song other than "soft" and "sweet". It feels like my soul's being coated in sugar when I listen to this; it's so simple, angelic, and hopeful. God, even *my* depressed ass can't be sad listening to this :')

[wrathofgrothendieck]

One of the greatest psychedelic songs ever recorded.

[BretSilverberg]

it's one of the most creative albums ever recorded hands down

[howell_spider]

The tone change and higher octave on the synth @2:13 just hits me like a wall of crying. Whole song rocks

Oh, My brother, my dear brother, he left this world yesterday & this was his favourite song. Still remember when you were 14, I was 10 and you showed me this song. I was fascinated! You took me down the Rock N 'Roll path and thanks to you I developed my own musical tastes. Today, I discover that you left this world of your own free will, taking an overdose of pills until you were sound asleep. Dear brother, when I found out about that, coming to listen to this song was the only thing that occurred to me at the time, and here I am! listening to this song at 3 in the morning, while singing loudly and enjoying the music as if you are still with me to listen to it together. Brother, when you first showed me this song, you told me that we all had this song hidden within us, but we weren't brave enough to show them to everyone. Now I understand it and I am sorry I understood it too late. I love you, brother, and I will always love you. Thank you for showing me these musical wonders. I will miss you today, tomorrow and always.This song will always be a part of us, dear brother.

Im an American guy, living in Porto, Portugal, who’s engaged to a lovely Portuguese girl, and we have a baby on the way. Never would I have thought that I would live out the lyrics of one of my favorite bands

[danielscott]

This is one of those tracks/videos that you'll always remember the first time you heard it. Felt like something brand new was awakened inside of me.

What a magical moment.

Merryweather Post Pavilion is 10 years old today!!!!

[_unpaulished]

I heard this song when it first came out and I was obsessed, then over time I forgot the name of the song, but I always remembered the melody and spent the last 10 years trying to remember the name of the song or the group so I could hear this masterpiece again. Today, after 10 years, I finally found this song again 😫 thank you Universe!

[TheThorley]

Haven't heard this for years! If Brian Wilson wrote Pet Sounds today, I'd imagine it wouldn't be too far off this

[collinmichael]

the only reason I don't want to die is because i will miss all my favorite songs so much... especially this one

[Dreezie]

This is my third time listening and this is one of the most profound songs I’ve ever heard in my life. I legitimately felt the moment this song became important to me and I’m going to cherish this song for the rest of my life and show it to people I care about.
