lyrics
above the plains of omaha i think of all the suffering i saw
the soaking of the pavement sprawled upon a land without a law
everything i loved, everything i found or, i hoped for
frightened, i’m surrounded, who else is there to turn to anymore?
oh, i held out my arms – oh, i held out my arms – held out my arms
there was a time i spoke the truth but my younger years were wasted on my youth
somewhere i awakened with a crack to a pounding on the roof
sure, i heard the sound as evidence, or better yet, as proof
i was as naked as the day that i was born beneath the fullness of the moon
oh, i held out my arms – oh, i held out my arms – held out my arms
far away i hear singing
far away, a song
the blinding light of morning came flooding through the window like a friend
like a wild revelation – like a shining invitation to attend
spoken as a prayer – unbroken by despair – i make amends
the love inside our hearts is the only kind of savior we’ve been sent
oh, i held out my arms – oh, i held out my arms – held out my arms
the soaking of the pavement sprawled upon a land without a law
everything i loved, everything i found or, i hoped for
frightened, i’m surrounded, who else is there to turn to anymore?
oh, i held out my arms – oh, i held out my arms – held out my arms
there was a time i spoke the truth but my younger years were wasted on my youth
somewhere i awakened with a crack to a pounding on the roof
sure, i heard the sound as evidence, or better yet, as proof
i was as naked as the day that i was born beneath the fullness of the moon
oh, i held out my arms – oh, i held out my arms – held out my arms
far away i hear singing
far away, a song
the blinding light of morning came flooding through the window like a friend
like a wild revelation – like a shining invitation to attend
spoken as a prayer – unbroken by despair – i make amends
the love inside our hearts is the only kind of savior we’ve been sent
oh, i held out my arms – oh, i held out my arms – held out my arms

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!
