lyrics
Come down from your ghostly perch
silver poplar, and congress of birch
Solemn bird, come down
Be a man who will not be cowed
a man with soft hands and a rubbery mouth
When one branch of the birch must be bowed
allow one banch to be bent, and one to be proud.
I take my sip from the fissured bell
I take what hits I can, and I raise my hell
Only time will tell which is free.
You take your sip from the lion's maw
You peck at his black lip, and you steal his barbed tongue
See what strange, strange harm a small bird has done.
Be a man who will not be feared
with a nest in your great russet beard
with a flush on your chest, and fierce cheer
and soft flesh where a feather once reared
Oh, my dear
be near
Bear away your gifts and your body of half-baked clay
Bear away your bottles of whistling beer
I am only a slip of myself just yet
you are only a faint frontier.
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
