Step Into The Darkness

My sweet light, sweet love of mine
It might never again feel like it’s the right time
If it’s the end, well, let’s cross that line
Let us step into the darkness
Let’s step into the darkness
I was a ghost, you were the fear of god
All of my shrines, old broken hearts and wind chimes
I was alive just waiting for the hand of time
All of my ghosts went up in smoke
And through the window
I heard you singing in the street last night
Singing my song “Live long for the sweet light”
I started singing but the words felt so wrong
Singing that song when the darkness feels so right
I was a spark, you were the wind I claimed
All of my fears went up in smoke, up in flames
I was a child and happy just to play the game
I waste my years waiting for the wind to change
My sweet light, sweet love of mine
It might never again feel like it’s the right time
If it’s the end, well, let’s cross that line
Let us step into the darkness
Let’s step into the darkness

I open my eyes
Beautiful world
Rain from the sky
Eyes of a local man
I open my eyes
Beautiful world
Beauty at hand
Eyes of a local man
Nostalgia...
Heaven must be made of it
Sleep away the bad days of our lives
It’s alright.
Wake up on the right side of the bed
And watch the sunrise
Walk old familiar in the dark,
In the city of change
When there’s something strange in the neighbourhood
What feels right?
Nostalgia...
Heaven must be made of it
I had a heavy dream
It was such a feeling
You woke up, and we never said goodbye

I Will Follow You

I will follow you no matter where you go
I wanna be the comfort in your company
Holy shit, it hit me like a ton of bricks
Even though we worked it out
Everything is different
And I will follow you no matter where you go
I wanna be the comfort in your company
Holy fuck, we’re gonna need a ton of luck
Even though we are all born innocent
It doesn’t take too much to fuck it up
And I will follow you no matter where you go
I wanna be the comfort in your company
I need you by my side, forever you and I
So marry me and tell me that until you die
We - each other’s company - it’s everything we need
And we can be the comfort in our company

Realize Real Eyes

Lay me down see if my conscience complies
It’s all in the eyes it’s all in a kiss
I never realized this
I never realize real eyes
Twist my arm, see if I’m your rubber man
It’s all in your hands now you’re balling your fist
I never understand, understand
I never realize real eyes
I swear I tried to believe
We should be forever you and I
You know I care and you believe
We should be together forever
Call me out, see if my substance replies
“It’s all for the best”, I said
“no cause for alarm”
I never meant to cause any harm
It’s all in the eyes, it’s all in a kiss
I never realize this
I never realize real eyes

Confidence

I heard that you’ve got the whole town
I heard you run it
I heard you lost someone close to you
Last year in the summer
I heard that you moved downtown
I heard you love it
I heard you like the way people yell
Just for the fuck of it
And if it happened to you then it can happen
Call it what you want, confidence
I see you, no one else
Remember asking me if all meant nothing?
I stopped the car about a mile away
You were the first out running
I’ve been trying to play catch-up for a while now
When the car crashed and you never got asked
How it might have been if you just slowed down
What do you care if i go with them?
For the summer
What do you care if i go with them?
Just for the meantime
Call it what you want, confidence

When you bled out blood like it was both of us
And I held your beatiful body
When you put on a brave face for my family
And we had thanksgiving
And I’m thinking how happy it seemed my mother was
When she thought that I’d be a father
How we gathered our friends around
And broke the news
Like a couple of fools
Tell me how to act, all I wanna do is make it alright
I want to tell you that you’re beautiful
And everthing is fine
And when the heartbeat slowed down slowly
I want to tell you that it’s natural
And everything in time
And that we’ll always be a family
No matter the design
And I’ll always save a dance for you
At the end of every night
It’s already our tomorrow
And the midnight sun, it’ll drive us home

Beautiful Morning
03:04

It’s raining, it’s pouring
You’re bored and I’m boring
Indifferent to the weather warning
Let’s get outta here.
"Oh, what a beautiful morning" you said.
"Let’s get out of here", let’s get out of here
So we go up up up, up up the mountain
Up, up and down the valley we go
To carry our doubt to the river mouth
Find peace in what the river knows
Cast a line in the river of time
Find peace of mind
Figure it out
It’s raining, it’s pouring
Dark when I woke up this morning
I can feel the weather warming
(let’s get out of here)
Laying in bed it crossed my mind
“find space and time, figure it out”
"Let’s get out of here"
So we go up up up, up up the mountain
Up up and down the steep valley slope
Carry our hearts
To where the river starts
Find peace where the river flows
Cross a line in the valley of time
Find peace of mind
Figure it out
It’s a beautiful morning

Emily Rose

The days are long
And the nights...flashing lights in the dark
And suddenly
Everything you thought you had
Just flowers on your bed
But I’m gonna leave a light on
For Emily Rose
I’m gonna leave a light on
In case you come home
So give back all the loving that you get
And tell the ones that you have
And you’ll always be beautiful
Sometimes good things don’t last long enough
But then we’ll never forget
Because they’ll always be beautiful
I’m gonna leave a light on
For Emily Rose
I’m gonna leave a light on
In case you come home

It’s like first prize, we get with the tides
First ones awake
It’s like sweet nostalgia
Call it what you will, I call it motivation
More inspiration I need
All I do is dream
Lilac and willow to sweeten the air
From my pillow
All I do is dream
First ones were up with the sun, first breath I take
It’s like sweet nostalgia.
Call it what you will
I call it my inspiration, my motivation I need
All I do is dream
Lilac and willow to sweeten the day
From my window
All I do is dream
I close my eyes, I pray for sleep
It’s the same bad dream for nearly a week now
And lord how I’ve tried, can’t catch no shut eye
(sleeping out under bright moonlight in my own backyard,
I was bored of the stars so I got high)
Lilac and willow, all I do is dream

This album is single-handedly getting me through my seasonal depression. Captures the energy of the season perfectly, and with a nice hopeful message to remind myself to keep going. <33

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.
