Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Save up all the days
A routine malaise
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Would you always?
Maybe sometimes?
Make it easy?
Take your time

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Think of all the ways
Momentary phase
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Every time you try
Quarter half a mile
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Would you always?
Maybe sometimes?
Make it easy?
Take your time

Would you always?
Maybe sometimes?
Make it easy?
Take your time

Always, sometimes
Easy, time

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

The video is supposed to convey artificial/fake happiness masquerading pent up feelings. That's why it's so uncomfortable.

Edit: This is just an interpretation I shared. Please stop pissing your pants in rage over the idea of this being some objective thing. It's a personal perspective, just calm down and go away if you don't like it.

"Beautiful, haunting multi-part harmonies really define this song, as they rise gorgeously above the quarter-note piano chords, and then seem to soar into their own atmosphere for a moment before coming back down to earth, drawn by the steady rhythm.

That kind of studied, chorale treatment of vocal harmonies in pop music was arguably invented by The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson, as he wrote ever more complex music that allowed the classic surf band to evolve into cutting-edge pop artists. (Paul McCartney once famously said that The Beach Boy's 1966 Pet Sounds was his favorite album, for that very reason.)

That masterful blend of high vocal harmonies, almost madrigal in style, is on its greatest display in The Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" from the aforementioned Pet Sounds" author - Anne

grizzly bear is so unique - they have the talent to create catchy and simple songs that sound entirely fresh and unlike any other band. and all their songs have so many little quirks and hidden layers - it's like exploring a landscape, almost. (my favourite from this album would be 'fine for now')
anway, i just wanted to urge people who enjoy this song to listen to the band seaside - 'a sign' or 'the hours' are both great starting points. they are similar to grizzly bear in the way they create huge vocal harmonies and background soundscapes, and i thought they deserve more recognition so i'm just spreading the word :)

7y↑8

I've always admired that in grizzly bear, these songs are almost pop, and yet completely unique (to my ears, anyway). I've listened to couple seaside songs as well, beautiful music, but I'd say their "feel" is quite different from grizzly bear. Which doesn't make them any less awesome, of course! So thank you. :)
