Thank you Deakin for this record. It has helped and healed many

This is one of the most perfect songs I've ever heard. Deakin has my applause. Crazy how much talent is contained in animal collective

Sleep Cycle = lo key masterpiece

The world needs more Deakin. Deakin, you're reading this?

I have been rained upon these past few months. I've lost a lot, that's all I'll say. This is such an important song to me. It keeps me upright. Thank you, Deakin.

I listened to sleep cycle during a tough time of my life. It was my way to feel at peace when I entered my first year of college. Thank you Deakin for making such a beautiful album.

Ive been sleeping on sleep cycle. Late to the party but glad to be here.

Yeah this is what I want

the lyrics of this song are just a bunch of things i really need to hear every day

I fucking love this song. one time I was on my way to work and my local radio station (KUCR) had it playing and I had to call in and they were so appreciative as was I. this song heals

I have listened to the entire album, many times. I think it is helping me with a process that I have been repeating over the years. My opinion is that Sleep Cycle is a process of awakening, it is a beautiful metaphor in which we all have to face, confront ... I am in tears writing this, because I identify so much with the emotions and feelings of Deakin, that I realize this infinite cycle ... This is life, this is darkness and light, it is necessary to go through ... Endless thanks to Deakin ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Days fog Can't see past the edge of what's gone but i'm hoping i'll try And the rain shines And the showers and the fawns in the field arrange in my eyes So why fight? With nature's call around You talk about frights In the verse of the every song You tell me what's wrong But what's right? You're seeing creation That crushing never ending change is so full of love And so you're waking to face the change in your role And with each restless shiver you wretch from your soul You're asking Is that something I'm not anymore? A brother to shake these broken chords till they turn gold And I tried To survive without that gold And wondering why Our exchange can never hold Am I what's wrong? Well what's right? Stop trusting in demons You're scattered ever lonely buddy but so full love Please stop repeating your terror you choose what you see It's always "what if?" and "why not?" Man you gotta just be Simplify define your goals and watch them grow Be your own true self the you that I know Days gone As I peer past the edge of what's lost I'm starting to cry But the rain's fine And the tears feel warm and my body is humming alive In time You'll revive what you thought dead You've stopped your own climb On the verge of every end You tell me what's wrong But what's right? Stop believing your being's been shattered and distorted cause brother your so full of love And so you're hoping to make a change in your role Repeating mantras to find some ground for your soul Stop asking Is that something I'm not anymore? A brother to shake these broken chords till they turn gold

Deakin was a part of the Painting With era this whole time ❤️

Feels like yesterday this album came out. It helped get me through a lot shit that happened that year, and by the look of these comments I’m not the only one 😌

This is still the best piece of music I’ve heard this decade ❤️

This song is like a bandaid, helping my inner wounds heal.

this song has gotten me through so much pain in my soul

Deak on fleek

march 17, 2020. Watching this now, every moment feels visceral and fluid with my internal beeing. Comfortable yet anxious. patient with the unknown for a moment, then unknown how long this patience may last. Acceptance + depression. I look forward to the day when covid19 is a part of history, and I strive to be present and genuine as it happens

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS WHAT'S RIGHT

The whole Deakin's record is amazing

with this sort of release schedule id be happy to hear another deakin record within the next 20 years

This song has never meant so much to me. Today, I found myself in the lyrics and my soul in the song. I’ve been looking for both for a while now.

That particular weirdness that attracts us all. A nostalgic feeling to a realm so familiar, yet so unknown. Thank you.

Be your own true self; the you that I know!

I've probably used this song to help me sleep peacefully more than any other, thank you Deakin.

This album, Down There and CoHGP are all stellar solo projects.

Thank you so much for issuing this on vinyl! Join us at Animal Collective Spiritposting on FB as we are discussing the reissue!

One of my all time favorites. Such beautiful lyrics that make me want to be better. Thank you Deakin.

This is probably the best song ever bro Edit: i forgot about that rap song by panda bear "playing the long game" THAT SHIT IS FIRE ON SOME CHIEF KEEF SHIT

Waiting 3 years for this was worth it.

One of my favourite songs in recent years, from one of the best AnCo related projects. Cool video too.

“Please stop repeating your terror, you choose what you see.” 🥺

this song saved my life

I'm so glad Deakin released this album. So excited to see what he brings to the next AnCo record

BALD DEAKIN HEAD BALD DEAKIN HEAD

One of the three songs that made me cry. Thank you, Mr Deakin.

Ok but for real: Sleep Cycle is the best AnCo-related album released this decade. The only one I'd be bold enough to call a masterpiece. Thank you so much for it, Josh. It's been a therapeutic album for all of us. I still cry to Good House everytime I hear it when I feel weary and beaten up, it really lifts me up, it gives me hope for the future. I think, at the end of the day, that's the spirit of Animal Collective as a whole. It's a hug, an embrace for the soul.

the best acoustic song i ever listened

Deakin we need that next album!

We can all feel the pain and the terror and the hope and the rebirth and the love in this song. And Deakin, although we can never connect with you personally to tell you how much this means to all of us, please know that your art and expression have given many the courage to face that which they had thought unbearable, I speak from personal experience. It's profound beauty as a pure light conduit through deep black storm clouds. Thank you...

Whoah whoah whoah!!! We chordin! How sweet to see a song!

an extremely underrated album and song

Please please please do a video for the last song Good House, it's a goddamn classic

Now we have two amazing music videos 😃

Phenomenal. Favourite song off the album

Just came here to say thanks to Deakin for making this beautiful song and album. One phrase that has really stuck with me ever since I first heard this song is “don’t believe your being’s been shattered and distorted, cause brother you’re so full of love.” I replay this line in my head every time I’m down and need a reminder of this. Thanks again.

I've heard this song before and I loved it!! But, where? Spotify? My ex? A show? Radio? I love anco and REALLY appreciate deakin

This song changed my life 5 years ago. Thank you for these beautiful and inspiring words Deakin.

It reminds me animations from czech artist Švankmajer... I saw some of his works when I was growing up. Love it.

I love you deakin
