Fences

I’m pulling up numbers and turning pages
Fences line the road when we drive at night
Waterways rise up and stretch
We can be so stiff sometimes
I forget how many times I’ve seen it
It probably slips your mind
Once we get to where it’s quiet
I can’t seem to slow myself down
I crack my fingers / My father would tell me to stop
They’re stronger now, they hold me up in ways you wouldn’t know
You watch me circle / You do the same in your mind
What happens when you let it all stream out of you

Bathroom Mirror

Aren’t we all just trying
To make it work in our corner
Don’t we all stay up thinking
We pretend that we move unnoticed
Behind private walls
Each move in parallel with our neighbour
Dancing in tandem behind different doors
We’re both afraid to knock
To ask how we’ve really been
In our pictures we’re smiling
We don’t share the moments
Where we’re looking in the bathroom mirror
For five minutes straight
Waiting for an answer - I don’t do that anymore
Fingerprints patterning, tracing ghosts,
Real ones where we’ve buried old dreams
They sneak back in
When we take a moment to pause

Blanket

I give words so much weight
I tangle them up with meaning
You toss them back and forth
We watch as they come apart
We eat from the same table
But we’ve killed all conversation
We let an old line divide
Our attention, so we let things slip
No wonder we want to bury down
It’s like a blanket that will smother
Unless you stick your neck out
I have a hard time speaking my mind
Wa watch as it’s flooding
We sit at our screens and feel like we’re doing something
I want to carve out space
But who knows where we’ll be in 30 years

Quiet Clapping

Piecemeal dinners and slow cars
It’s hard to start from nothing
Quiet clapping in a big room
I asked so long to be taught
but I don’t need those words anymore
Silent gestures, small kindness, brief beauty
I used to think I needed to leave this
But you hear more when it’s quiet
So I lay my ear to the ground
Who can say a place is empty
When they’ve never been at all
A memory can fill a room
It took me a year to realize
So I slowed things down

Bricks

Look at us now, look at how we’ve grown
Pushing past comfort, laughing at the shoulds
Brick by brick, laying a foundation
Six years can hold so much
But we knew we’d end up here.
Words can’t express what you already know.
Look at us now, look at how we’ve grown.

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.
