lyrics
I lost my lover deep inside this valley
I was searching when I thought I heard her call
But the echoes in the canyon so much like my lover’s voice
Were the high white cries of eagles spinning careless in the wind.
I lost my lover in an old house off the freeway
We’d stopped to take some rustic photographs.
I walked the halls and empty rooms but all I heard was rain
So I made my way up to the cemetery on the hill.
The wild goose runs circles round the wishing well
Till dawn.
All the sons and unwed mothers make their way down
Thru the fog.
Does the howling of these dire wolves wake the dead
Or just the dogs?
I lost my lover in the shadows of this city.
We were waiting for our rideshare in the rain.
She kissed me twice and snapped her fingers
And suddenly I stood at the edge of every world
I’d ever conjured in my mind.
The wild goose runs circles round the wishing well
Till dawn.
All the sons and unwed mothers make their way down
Thru the fog.
Does the howling of these dire wolves wake the dead
Or just the dogs?

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
