Grizzly Bear - Four Cypresses Lyrics

four cypresses junkie

I haven't been this impressed with a band in a very long time.

This track is like skydiving without dropping out of an airplane.

My favorite song. S2

"it's chaos, but it works"
*I T J U S T W O R K S*

Hermosa poesía

this is fucking so good, what...

lyric video my ass lmao this is dope

Love this
...it's chaos, but it works...

Inspiring and mind expanding!

Got this from a spotify suggestion, so happy for that, this song is beautiful and I got some interesting visions listening to it! Will now investigate them further!

I am in love with this voice my fav vocalist daniel rossen.

Goddamn, this is so good it's unbelievable. Why isn't this played constantly on the radio, #1 everywhere?

The drumming was bliss

4:05 You Know I Had To Do It To Em

this works.

This reminds me of the video for "Believe" off Chris Taylor's CANT side project. Gotta love that VHS tape warp found footage vibe.

It reminds me some of the first works of Pink Floyd.

Instead of moving
You stared into the wall
Tangled up in a pile
It's early
Make no sound
Living in a pile
It's chaos but it works
Planes flying overhead so early
Dreadful sound

Four cypresses seen from a neighbor's yard
No memory
A future, drawing down
Planes flying overhead so early
Make no sound

Four cypresses torn from the roadside
Great thundering noise from the hillside
Some thousands of years built up
Some crumbling form to be torn down

Living in a pile
Tangled in a pile
It's chaos but it works

Josue Great thundering noise from the glass hillside.

*cyprii

fucking brilliant.

Sublime

los amo

This episode of Song Exploder, where Daniel Rossen and Chris Ryan are interviewed about the writing and recording of the song, totally changed the way I hear the it.

This is really mediocre.

It is not. It is just your opinion. But thankfully a single opinion is irrelevant.

my GOD the chord progressions. <3

It's wonderful to live in the same era of GB, and witness this kind of fantastic music being born. So proud of them. Congratulations.

This is the new "Ready, able"... yasss...cant stay away from their beautiful art

definitely my favourite among the new works, well done again Grizzly Bear. Your music is a real inspiration to me, and a gift of colour to denizens of a gray world.

One of their best. XO

5 days til the album......sooo hyped

Really reminds me of Beck's "Chemtrails" with its chord progressions and references to planes.

loving this song a lot today

Song Exploder podcast by Hrishikesh Hirway brought me here

This may easily be the best song of the year.

Getting some heavy Koyaanisqatsi vibes from both the lyrics and the video. Also getting amazing vibes because everything released so far from Painted Ruins sounds amazing.

These songs are blowing my mind right now

Chris bear is a really great Drummer, but hey you ignorant Youngsters outhere, the best Drummer of the world was Jaki Liebezeit of CAN :-)

uff, nailed it

this is my personal favorite of the four new Songs i´ve heard, but anyway i can´t wait to listen to the new Album and sorry mr.droste you are great, but  my fave singer is mr. rossen and so i hope he will sing a lot of the lead vocals on the album

"it's Chaos But It Works..."

this is grizzly bear I love! <3

Love the ambiance. Love the chord changes. Love the originality of it all, the "feeling."

I feel like this song talks about the hugeness of the world by evoking just few things.

crazy good!

Sorry, but Daniel Rossen is too good for this band

shut up

Sorry Mcgee, if you love the rest of the releases from this album so far, then good for you. Wish I could like mediocre music, then I'd never run out of things to listen to. Do you like Tame Impala too?

3:35 - thought i had a pigeon outside my window

im getting strong wild beasts vibes hereeee

Trying to figure out what the cypresses mean. I think its daniel rossen understanding that the four of them (grizzled bear) are no longer humans but trees, old, dying trees. at least he picked a cool cyprus tree to be. but anyways their music is pretty much over with now. not expecting much from the new album since lennon died. beatles covers would be sick tho

August whatever-it-is can't come fast enough! I remember a recent summer album that rocked my world and became one of my all-time favs. Can you guess what it was? (It was Tame Impala's "Currents"). Do I think Grizzly Bear's new album will be even close to that great? Probably not. But I got my fingers crossed.

i love you guys but you must stop the adverts ASAP please!!! go into Preferences and Stop that Shit.. ;)

I already have this album. And Crack Up by Fleet Foxes. I reviewed them both. I'm going to give away / allot both cd's, and also the new Foxygen, Floating Points, The Drums, The New Pornographers, Spoon, Moon Duo, Flo Morrissey and Anonhi. Follow me on Twitter and you'll have a chance of getting one (for free). Living outside The Netherlands or Europe? You will only pay for the transport. No joke. :-)

Seriously?

¡Preciosidad!

It's Grammy time. Oh, wait, the Grammys completely suck.

this is absolutely incredible.

Kid A vibes...

Vocês são foda ❤❤❤

favorite release so far

grizzly bear deserve more recognition

Do a Tiny Desk Concert

Strange and familiar at the same time, as if it's a person and these two feelings are melting into one another into a form you can't understand. Something like that.

The drumming on this and Three Rings is astonishing in both it's creativity and technical proficiency. I'm excited for this album.

Suenan súper cooool

My dream is to see Grizzly Bear and Fleet Foxes in an outdoor concert so I can trip out and dance around all hippie-like.

Chris Bear been studying some Tony Allen.

came to brazil

Wow fucking new to this but sounds good

The only song so far that I really like from the new album. Dannyboy really needs to go full time solo

Tickles the part of my brain that thirsts for new sounds.

Put this on an endless loop, my life would be complete 🙏

DANIEL ROSSEN

Finally.

Excelente som, muito ansioso por esse album!

An episode of Sound Exploder of this one would be so sweet!

This is exactly what we all wanted. My brain is happy!

Okay, this was the best single yet from their new album.

I see Grizzly bear cooking up some marvelous shit to get your mouth watered.

I nutted all over my keyboard.. Thank you grizzly bear.

What a relief that this is fantastic, because Mourning Sound was underwhelming

"Four Cypresses" debuted at #5 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week:

I love them so much 💕

holly molly guacamole

I feel like Daniel's voice has really matured. Beautiful.

so good!

chris bear ir killing it with the weird time signatures on this album

It's a simple 4/4 all the way through, except it's a really broken beat.

Luis Calil You're right, but it does feel really off to count quarters along the more chaotic parts of the song

Meh. It's been down hill since yellow house. Veck was pretty good but not on par with yh. Rossen's songs now usually feel like he came up with a chord progression noodling on the guitar & he writes an awkward melody just to fit that noodling progression. It just sounds thrown together. FInd it strange that people find his songs better than Droste's.

Mr. MoonMouth lol are you retarded?
That's how you make music...

I liked the video before i watched it....

D A N I E L I S T H E M A N

Just gorgeous...

This is magnificent.

This one lifts my spirits about the album, wonderful.

😍😍😍😍😍

This is a masterpiece.

there's music...normal, ok, hmmm, fine.

And then there is music that seems to be made for me. a part of me. music that makes you smile, shiver, cry and many other things. that kind of music is rare and hard to find....but grizzly bear is definitely one of those bands for me.

I fall in love every single time 🌟

Very good accumulation into a groove here, I love what you guys are doing, strong baselines and great drums. Very very nice.

is this a e s t h e t i c?

This record is going to blow my mind. I can tell already.

It's amazing ❣
I love you all so much❤
