Grizzly Bear - Alligator 

One of the most underrated bands... I'll never forget seeing them live in Bloomington, Indiana... they played Vecktamist when it had just came out. I get chills still to this day in 2021

one of the greatest songs ed ever wrote. so much better with daniel, chris taylor and bear playing together, though

CHRIS BEAR shines on this one.....Great progression

Grizzly Bear + Blue Valentine = one of the best movie soundtracks ever. Alligator is an amazingly touching, beautiful song that fits perfectly with the movie (which I completely recommend, as I know many haven't seen it - it's about a marriage on the rocks, starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams). Never heard of these guys before the movie, but I already can't stop listening to this. Get the chills everytime I hear it...and I completely love it! Repeat button times infinity!

Daniel and Christopher's playing are the fucking best in the game tbh. so underrated!

Comparing life and love to an alligator. Trying to fight heartbreak, but life is dangerous and it hurts sometimes. Anyway, we have to face it. Beaultiful song.

That. Effin'. Ending. Blue Valentine murders my soul every single time I watch it. this is the perfect song to underline that masterpiece.

This band makes me think of what Crosby, Stills and Nash would have been like had they shown up in the music scene 40 years later.

I really wish they had these studio versions of all their songs.

1:17 this is life and this is love

Such talent. Kills me to know that they aren’t more prevalent.

Chris bear my inspiration...

Its a fear, it is near, the shape becomes ever clear It bears teeth extra sharp thatll cut you in the heart It attacks really quick, try and fight with a stick Theres no use, give it up, this is life and this is love You are my alligator, You are my alligator

i wish there were a camera just watching chris taylor work his magic in this.

one of the greatest things ive ever heard

This is the first song I ever heard by them back in 2009. Still blows me away

Amazing, absolutely amazing

@tsquared226 i can only agree. grizzly bear's music fits perfectly with the entire movie and this song at the end gave me the chills

so much emotion, so deep

More of the drummer for fucks sake...

this is a masterpiece

PURE GENIUS!!!!

Best song ever!!!

4:05 makes me shudder every time I hear it

Now I want a Wurlitzer.

One clearly tonedeaf person is getting coal in their stocking this Christmas....how on earth can someone downvote this song?!?!

AWESOME!!! using it for my school project

Still a high-water mark for GB

Genial💖👏👏👏

AAaaaaahhh I love the introduction!!!! :) Xx

Esse vídeo é com certeza uma das maravilhas da humanidade

These comments are so old

Where the F is Little Brother from KCRW session????!!!!

this version is so EPIC, i cant even listen to the measly one and a half minute album version any more after hearing this!

I've never seen a drummer so deeply into such an offbeat rhythm/be at at the same time.

haha thanks but no, i meant what chords is he playing. I can't find a tab for this one anywhere & their stuff is very subtle, tricky to imitate.

@transcendenc will do, thanks

youtube-mp3 download. search it on google and it's pretty self explanatory.

Did KCRW take down their post for this performance? Can’t find little brother or while you wait...

aaaaaaaa .... man...

anybody have an idea of what the guitarist is playing?

thats a respectable nose....

a guitar
