Taken By Trees – My Boys (Animal Collective cover)

victoria-bergsman

I would love to do a remix of this cover.  This is a cover of an Animal Collective track called, “My Girls”.  Taken by Trees is the moniker used by Victoria Bergsman, whom you might  recognize  as the voice from Peter Bjorn and John’s, “Young Folks”.  The  instrumentation  on this track reminds me of Vampire Weekend.

lyrics:
There isn’t much that I feel I need
A solid soul and the blood I bleed
But with a little girl, and by my spouse,
I only want a proper house
I don’t care for fancy things
Or to take part in the freshest wave,
But to provide for mine who ask
I will, with heart, on my father’s grave
On my father’s grave
(On your father’s grave)
I don’t mean to seem like I
Care about material things,
Like a social status,
I just want
Four walls and adobe slats
For my boys

Merry X-mas and here we go…

In at number 10, was a track I think was originally overlooked — but definitely gained alot of traction here at AudioDrums, the Portishead remix of Paul Weller’s, “Wildwoodd”.   This probably has to do with the fact that Portishead finally released their third studio album this year, and the masses went looking for it online, and low and behold, they found Audiodrums.com 🙂
