ell asleep with the tv on
finally feelin’ like i belong
woke up to a funeral song
called you up to say hello
left a message for you at home
packed my dishes in styrofoam
everything i knew was gone
it’s raining in ohio
the streets are slick
shows what i know
i hear their cries through my window
they’re mourning again in america
mourning again in america
tied my shoes when i woke up
drew my curtains just enough
thought about the ones i love
tucked my chin into my coat
shrugged my shoulders, cleared my throat
walked the banks of the ohio
felt a chill to the bone

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
