last night in a dream i had traveled back in time
our feet were in the water and you put your hand in mine
i was blinded by the sunrise but i could not look away
you were in there somewhere i could not get you to stay
this is where i live
in the spaces in between the harsh light of the morning
and the magic of the dream
in one of them i’m dying
in one i never do
in one of them you’re breathing so i know you’re there, too
finally, i woke up in the darkness of the night
the shadow of the rain falling in the lone streetlight
i thought i heard a whisper reaching from the past
an echo, a reminder that nothing ever lasts

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
