  General Comment:Great opening; few words (always a plus for this crazy band); NICE sound. Not too shabby for one of my least favorite bands:)

    Yeah I heard that too. In my opinion this song is basically like "PEOPLE (wake up and start loving!)" Because that line to me translates to "Damn, you always seem to finally get connected to people right as they are about to die / People always seem to catch on to "things" and "wake up" right at the end of their life"

  General Comment:The opening of this track reminds me quite a lot of the opening for 'Did You See the Words'; minus the kids laughter.

  General Comment:notice the amount of intellect we have compared to this arch nemesis guy who posted on the wrong song somehow. it's funny to see us and him juxtaposed like that haha.
  
  Awesome song though. sounds to me like it should be in a movie for some reason

  General Comment:Yeah, I don't think it's 'obviously' anything, other than screaming the word people- which to me seems powerful somehow. I don't know if they're trying to snap People awake out of frustration, trying to celebrate them, or just wondering about them... This song is why I love Animal Collective anyways.

  General Comment:this song is just a good example of their success in creating a certain atmosphere with their music, it doesn't necessarily mean anything though it might make you think

  General Comment:this song is one of my favourites. p diddy was more involved than biggie in the first shootin. but de media jus seem to speak about biggie. bad boy records was funded by gangsters, which is y diddy set him up. for more details check out this site. angelfire.com/rnb/tupac.com/….
