lyrics
I have the weight of the world on my chest. Well, sometimes it feels that way. For real, when my mind's at its best I still feel afraid. Light turns to dark and my tears turn to ice as I turn to my lover–and thinking I'm right–I tell only the truth, every last little thing that I knew. All the things that I did and all the things that I didn't do...
***
From the start I moved heaven and earth just to take you to dinner and, boy, was that worth all the years that would follow us around and around and around. In all of that spinning I know now how I didn't know what I needed to know. I bury my feelings down deep where my heart never goes. All the things that I did and all the things that I didn't know...
So what began as a fairy tale, we know, became very real: scary and, at times, too much. But we'd held it together then we'd double down on our luck. For all of the times I counted the lines in your hair as you slept by my side, I'm sure that you cried, and you cried, and you cried. So did I. All the things that I did and all the things that I didn't try…
Off in the distance I see you once more. We laugh at the stories we cried to before. I'll tell you where I've been. You'll tell me how you've been. We’ll laugh, we’ll laugh again. The story will go…
The story of how the end came to be. How you became you. How I became
me. How we became lovers. How we became friends. Sisters and brothers. Beginning to end…
***
It's four in the morning, I'm telling this story about what you taught me of love. They hear what I'm saying but no way they know what I know. I know I'll take you with me everywhere I take my body and soul. I'll take others too but not one any more than you. All the things that I did and all the things that I didn't do...
All the things that I did and all the things that I didn't do...

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.

Has anyone else noticed that the last few seconds of Abandoned Love are scrambled??? Even when you play it on Bandcamp, it's messed up. Great album, but needs fixed!
