When I had awoken from the land of sleep,
I began to walk, stumbling
Then I heard a whisper,
She whispered something to me,
But I couldn’t understand a thing
What was that you said?
What did you say to me just now?
What was that you said?
What did you say to me just now?
And when I turned around, I could see your face,
Staring back at me from so long ago
Not getting swept up in the sweet winds of this feeling,
As I witness in your eyes, a look that put a stop to time.
Oh, such a look that pauses time.
In this sleepy ghost town, I hear her softly whisper
The words that are now coming in clear,
And they carry a new meaning,
Filled with new emotion,
Now that they have fallen onto me.
Say something
Say something to me again
Tell me something,
Oh, teach me anything
The summer that I found with you is like a new breeze
And I won’t let go of this feeling
I’ll ride the autumn wind, and let it take me away
I’ll let it carry me so far, carry me so far away
Far, far away
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
Cermony's Ross John Farrar experiments with synths, bass, & percussion to make music similar to that from the '80s homemade tape scene. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 30, 2023
saw Thundercat for the first time recently - truly a GOAT of live performers. this album is him in his most honest, focused, and emotional state, and it beautifully intertwines his silly artistic voice with his stories of struggle and loss. the album is short and sweet - BUT, if you want to see him and his friends jam a little longer on these ideas, definitely see him live. the dude literally practices like Coltrane and it shows. zilla
