Never underestimate the power of creating your own community. KEXP is the ultimate DIY. Can you please try to play What Would I Want Sky from Animal Collective??\"\n---\n\nThis song directly samples the Grateful Dead's song \"Unbroken Chain,\" a track from their 1974 album, \"From the Mars Hotel.\" It was the first-ever officially licensed Grateful Dead sample. -- In the original song, the lyric is \"Willow sky/ Whoa, I walk and wonder why.\" In Animal Collective's version, the lyric is flipped: The end of the line becomes the beginning, and \"Whoa, I walk\" is deliberately misheard as \"What would I want?\"\n\nhttps://anmlcollectve.bandcamp.com/album/fall-be-kind","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
