To ~end up~ blind, alone with you ~there~ kills me.
I felt the decay wither at my crown.
At the ~end~ I ~begin again~.
Perplexity ensued when we ~came across~ that ~dead~ dog.
You asked me what I’d feel if you were ~gone… ~
How could you know that you’d ~own~ my heart?
This mark of three: ~ the eternity ~
~Waiting~ under those falls where we said I’d meet you;
strong and ~ sure~ his ideal of himself.
Bathed in white, prepared self-impressed;
Graceful strength, ~love won’t acquiesce~.
I’m ~here. ~
I’m ~ with ~ you.
I will ~always be right there.~
I ~ move through ~ the bodies
of some beauty and a love.
(singing)
Your mind convinced, you ~ think you know ~ who you are.
A golden listlessness surrounds your ~life ~ .
~ Believe~ the lie that you’ve told yourself!
~Be~ a vase to ~ withhold ~my soul.
I’ll ~ wait ~
just out ~ here, ~
in a sea the black depth
Fertile, this mare!
In a ~ death ~ there is life!
horses ~ run swiftly ~ ;
~ always ~ for
some hidden thing.
I’m ~ here. ~
I’m ~with~ you.
I will ~always be right there. ~

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
