Five years, countless months, and a loan. Hope I'm ready able to make my own good home

Grizzly Bear. What can I say? I've tried to put them into words, but I can't. Actually, I don't want to because whatever I write wouldn't even begin to scratch the surface of how amazing they have been to me and this world. My biggest regret is not finding out about them sooner. My favorite band of this year, Grizzly Bear, has consumed me with their musical genius-ness.

I have mentioned them before in passing, but this song, "Ready, Able" is definitely one of my favorites on their most recent album "Veckatimest". Edward Droste's voice puts me in this sleep like stupor that has me swaying side to side with my hands in the air. I absolutely love the way it makes me feel. Backed by his three bandmates who harmonize in the best melodic fashion I have yet to witness, this four piece band is everything I ever wanted and more.

I planned on showing the music video, but I felt that it didn't give the song any justice. I found the live version they did on Letterman, which is by far the best performance I've seen of this song. It made me cry the first time I saw it.

One of my dreams is to see Grizzly Bear live. If I am ever in a coma, I am telling you now that only Edward Droste will bring me back to consciousness. I am serious.
