Life to me seems a joke,
this truth can’t be real.
yet,
so sure and ungracefully,
i’d held your hand for a while
strange how it felt so real -
i swear i was there.
flowers on the breeze,
i felt the sun beat on my neck
to have had
and
to have lost -
the same two sides
of a love’s great cost.
but
like i’ve read,
to chase such things
may
grace us with a snowfall in spring.
a shimmer in the light,
the gleam in your eyes
so cool and easy
u walked by with ur hair let down
cobalt is the sky,
venus at dawn,
this dream slipped from my hands
in a picture from the past
it’s hard enough
to wake each day
but it was
love
and it will still find a way
the chance is rare,
when it hits you hard
your heart is soft
it will leave it’s scar
if it hurts,
is it worth the pain?
loss & love are just one the same
and
like i’ve read,
to chase such things
may
grace us with a snowfall in spring

This is undoubtedly my single favorite album of all time. It feels like such a perfect culmination of all the themes and ideas Fleet Foxes has been working with since 2008. It answers many of the questions found on both Helplessness Blues and Crack-Up, and represents an incredible maturation and growth in Robin Pecknold's perspective. Their other albums are certainly masterpieces, but this, in my opinion, is their magnum opus. I doubt it will be recognized as such in its time. isaiah_stuart
Brilliant album all across the board. Beach Boys-esque but fused with the Fleet Foxes aura. Robin and the rest of the band puts out nothing but absolute masterpieces of albums. No filler anywhere! Can't wait to see you in the summer in Syracuse! mmcgourty74
