lyrics
As all those houses falling waterward, I fell
with your back to the hills, with your clothing all filthy
standing terribly still
Like a child just barely old enough
to see that she won't long be young
I saw it, but I did not know it, so I did not speak it
And I woke wrapped in your riding jacket
with a mouth full of sand
with a throat full of furtive sadness
Like a widow startled by some strange resemblance
I saw you, but I did not know you, so I did not speak it
One lost postcard from high country:
Does it master me? Am I captive
trading an honest thing for more silence?
And I drove down to your dry white city
with no place to call home
I was drawn past your door –
I was drawn on and on and on
As if convinced by one small loss
that all that's gained comes at great cost
I called you, but I could not reach you
so I did not speak it

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
