@stabilibose It allows u to enjoy the silence after beauty, like the torpor after sex. It allows u to remain in this intoxicating grace that emanates from the music, the voice, the words, and not to spoil it with some inapropriate hasty noise. We live in a world where silence seems to stress us more than our restless lifestyles. We are so not used to it anymore, than like with any new, unfamiliar thing, it eventually bothers us. 3mins of 'nothingness' to find unsuspected meaning in ur day. :)
This song makes me want to jump as high as i can, go into space, swim into the sun, die, go back to Earth as a ghost, and go to every Fleet foxes gig as a ghost and haunt them.
Your Protector walks among the Quiet Houses that sit in the valley, overshadowed by the Blue Ridge Mountains. Had he Heard Them Stirring? Perhaps it was the Meadowlarks sitting atop the trees of the Ragged Wood, stretching their wings. Oliver James hums a White Winter Hymnal. It was the same song his Mother had sung to him as a boy. He Doesn't Know Why, but it warms his very soul.
Hey if you guys like this you should also check out Tangent Transmission! Ive been listening to them ever since I heard them on NCIS:LA and love it. Reminds me of Fleet Foxes a bit
this is the first fleet foxes song i listened to, think it still remains my favourite, it's so powerfull and i always get this amazing image of hiking up the himalayas or something, love it so much =)
@fried1godzilla i know but brilliantness sounds so much cooler ! i did know that brilliance is a word though ! but as i said made up words veto the words in the dictionary ;)
I imagine someone walking during the first minute, then as the song picks up he begins running home, surrounded by beautiful landscapes in the country.
This song sounds like a celebration of thousands of people in a city square for some beautiful sort of revolution or something. Especially the chorus. So joyous!
@InvaderZimFan101 I agree, especially "My false", it's one of the most relaxed songs I have ever heard. Recommend Matt Corby without hesitation if you like the Foxes!
For me it sounds like being caught up in some beautiful revolution. People coming out in great numbers in the street to meet and celebrate. (In the chorus part,anyway).
A british band that you might like that are similar to Fleet Foxes are called The FOSSIL COLLECTIVE. Go and check out the video for On and On. Its very good. Bye Bye xx
@ryguy41495 Don't let some people's corny comments spoil your enjoyment of this music; it transcends whatever images that may be inspired in others who only can express them in cliched ways.
This song would be perfect for an epic journey through the sacred lands of magic, and then we see our heroes run through the green fields with gigantic swords, bows, axes and staves... epic :3
I always regret listening to Fleet Foxes. Their music makes me want to adventure through a mystical land of magic and wonder and unspoiled by human hands, and this economy doesn't really allow that. Also the lack of magic.
@YoshiLives Dude... I know exactly what you mean.. Don't you wish that there was some place away from society were you could do as you wish? that would be great..
@YoshiLives fuck that! Oh it sounds great. Theirs a great many books I truly adore. No way in hell would I want to live with that shit though. A great many horrible painful ways to die.
@InvaderZimFan101 You are so right, I can't believe how cheerful and happy this song makes me feel...makes me want to get rid of all these miserable bullshit that I live in and just go out in the woods and live a PROPER HUMAN LIFE, not surrounded by all the lies and bullshit of the modern society...I absolutely love this, it's epic
@InvaderZimFan101 // WHAT?! I had a dream that my boyfriend and I plus a shitton of people were running through the woods (we weren't naked though), and this song was playing! I wonder if I read this comment and had that dream cos of it.
@InvaderZimFan101 Ha Ha! I can see myself naked with my iPod blasting this song, some Nike's on and a back pack with a set of clothes just in case. But hell, if you want to start a running naked club and blast this song....I'm there!
