fleet foxes - white winter hymnal

[gdoddmeta3608]

What's the piano ditty at the end? Is that just part of the single version?

[thischarminman789]

man this song is so warm and soothing.

[Cieraah]

Anyone else notice to snake game on like any youtube video?

[MisterLoveFox]

Man, isn't YouTube website swell! Just found it, can't believe more people haven't heard of it

[carlaeleni]

been looking for this for aaaages

[CyberMan14]

Why do we need something as violent as that as our top comment? Keep it peaceful here on a chilled out tune. I'm high.

[JoshuaAushoj]

beautiful why have i never heard of this till now

[breffnipark]

Great track !

[amazerfulness]

Beautiful. I always listen to this to get rid of my headaches. <3

[maddypuppysngore]

I'm in love.

[RainyDay211]

What is this symbol?

[WeAreTheCloud]

the piano at the end adds so much more to the song itself. great job.

[Music4lyfe161]

I love this song!!

[shussya]

What is the piano at the end? It's not the track on my CD, and it's not in the official video... I really like it.

[mjdragon11]

this makes me want to get drunk with my family while wearing christmas sweaters

[TheSbr2th]

@mjdragon11 ahaha that made me giggle ol' friend

[BenjaminKuruga]

@mjdragon11 Do what feels good.

[solangi224]

The bright eyed wonderment of finding a new amazing band...

[MrWronggo]

wuts the piano at the end :T?

[Eetaq]

I disliked this song because it bored me and wasn't pleasant sounding.

[12lmeganl12]

Sounds like Boy & Bear :3

[meant2BonTV]

So hauntingly beautiful.

[ThexOriginalxGoose]

fleet foxes are hugely underrated. nuff sed.

[rain360]

Even when the song stops,

the melody echos in my head like a bell for several minutes.

And while the song is playing,

my mind goes blank.

Fleet Foxes is a group of very talented, true musicians.

[captainteror]

my name is michael.....shit

[ZB124]

So umm...seeing them open for Bon Iver was.... indescribable

[Icewolf5116]

Realizing for the first time a few days ago that this song is about chopping people's heads off.

It just got so much better, which is hard to do considering it was already brilliant.

[Icewolf5116]

Realizing for the first time a few days ago that this song is about chopping people's heads off.

It just got so much better.

[TheMonstermo]

The Windsurf Movie brought me here!!

Awesome Vid!!

[terryperring104]

What is it about this song that makes me feel happy/sad all at once? Its magical.

( I bet the 55 who gave it a thumbs dowen are not nice people?)

[uke52]

i get enveloped with chills every time i hear this

[TheProfessorMeow]

This song makes me want to rip out 55 peoples throats =]

[TheProfessorMeow]

I was listening to this and the power went out along with the internet connection... and it kept playing =D MAGICAL!!!!

[goofygobber101]

Bearded fairies.

[Stockenhausenxd]

Fleet Foxes saves Rock

[CoolestGeekYouKnow1]

@LucidEyes please attempt to refrain yourself from saying that. 

[GrooGrux86DMB]

Wait hold on what's the album? Oh wait, I see now, Self titled.

[fucknamenumbers]

this seriously made my cry once im not even joking

[c03rcion]

@fucknamenumbers several of their songs has had this effect on me

[CaliverMusic]

Help Caliver get on Sub-Pop Records by watching this!! If you like Fleet Foxes you'll loveeeeeeeeeeee us!

[iJake1996]

[SpazyFoxx]

[Sparkhead100]

tolle admosphäre bringen die rüber

[flappyAFRICA888]

im gonna go longboarding with this song and beats!!! :D

[2222melissa]

They're from where I was born. :D Which just happened to be on a day that was snowing. Coincidence? Yeah. :P But it's a cool one.

[DylanFlanagan]

@2222melissa That's the dumbest coincidence ever

[2222melissa]

@DylanFlanagan IMO :)

[0oao0x]

this was on my itunes sidebar when i was playing New Slang...love love love

[imjohnandyouare]

That piano outro is magical

[ohferrealthatsneat]

I replayed this song a good 90 times.

[ldanielprez]

Amo esta canción.

[NeonNSun]

god, this is awesome!

[dcsd204]

Is that piano outro bit only on the single version or something? Never heard that before.

[brettard12]

Too Short!!!!!!!!

[Jirue7609]

Great song :) Reminds me a lot of The Shin's New Slang.

[XxKrashTeamxX]

AWESOME

[ByeByeFreebird]

love.. love...

[iPotentPatient]

Repeat anyone?

[hmbradshaw]

I only wish I could play this on a record player over and over again........... I miss that.

[soccerskatemusic]

check out the band dispatch

[Chyken3600]

I don't like Mykonos because of moh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-ooh-oh­-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-ooooh. Also, fifty-three people won't let Michael die from letting white snow bleed as summertime strawberries.

[TurkeyJones91]

this song makes me want to find an injured deer and nurse it back to health before releasing it back to it's home in the wild.

[IRockYourWorldv2]

@TurkeyJones91 yaa so true but it's weird the origins of this song are actually very sad...I heard in an interview that one the members friend's' name as Michael and he joined a gang and died in the winter time...maybe close to Christmas...it's really really sad but so beautiful <3

[akotasun]

@TurkeyJones91 even though the lyrics are pretty fucked up. but beautifull(:

[MrScorn]

@TurkeyJones91 this makes me want to shoot a deer in the face and watch it bleed in the snow and stare into its eyes, as it stares back at me as slowly it becomes lifeless with my rifle strung around my back. Then I want to whip out my willy and piss behind a tree and drag the deer back to my nice warm log cabin and put together a cande light dinner.

[TurkeyJones91]

@MrScorn this makes me want to put a noose around you're neck and hang you from a celing fan as I destroy your anus with angry powerful thrusts. Then I let you drop and a turd shoots clean out of your ass as you shudder with farts that shake your entire body. Finally, I pull you down and back onto my cock and you squirm, impaled like a speared fish.

[MrScorn]

@TurkeyJones91 That makes me want to tie you up to a radiator and scrape your gums down with a knife until there's nothing less, I will then rip your teeth out and attach them to a rope to hang above your coffin for your soon coming funeral, I will smash the cartilage until the crumbled remnants flow out in a blood stream by tearing through your nose. After that I will perform an incision in your neck to grab hold of your throat, and rap it around your neck and choke you to death.

[willandelise123]

@MrScorn trolololol

[Imgonnawatchit1]

@TurkeyJones91 dude.................thats gay.

[FEERME1225]

@Imgonnawatchit1 What a waste of a comment.

[Imgonnawatchit1]

@FEERME1225 i think writing "what a waste of a comment" is more of a waste.....

[TheDanny4896]

@Imgonnawatchit1 fuck you piece of shit

[KnorpelDelux]

@TheDanny4896 I don't know what i am giving thumbs up here to but you are probably right.

[LucidEyes17]

@TurkeyJones91 Cool story bro, Tell it Again

[Fishdogpigsquirrel]

@TurkeyJones91 This song makes me want to find an injured deer and nurse it back to health before releasing it into the wild so I can hunt it down again because that would be more sportly than just shooting it when its injured.

[thepowerofIandI]

@TurkeyJones91 Dude, I just had some mighty fine ganja a minute ago, and listening to this song while reading your comment really became the most beautiful thing I had imagined all day. Thank you. Now I'm off to shave my spiders.

[MsDammitjanet]

@TurkeyJones91 that is the funniest thing iI have ever read! Does that mean you like this song?

[KeandraBennett94]

@TurkeyJones91 It was like i pictured a movie xD

[lbsurfsider]

This song gives me a great sense of peace. When I hear this I think sure, bad things may happen in the world and in people's lives but there is always relaxing music like this to take you away from reality at least for a brief moment.

[Timetraveller2208]

I got the debut album after hearing this just a few times early 2009; one of the very best cd's I have!

[judithkent111]

I really recommend to people that you go for a walk on a winters day when there is snow everywhere whilst listening to this. It is magical!

[OKellies]

Going to see them live on may 19th. Can't wait!

[ryanwestikus]

im seeing them live on may 2nd for the realease of thier new album :D :D :D

[xocookiesandmilkxo]

what is it about this song that isss soooo catchhyy?!?!?!?!??

[Treelock]

@xocookiesandmilkxo everything

[thegirlwithfeatherz]

Jack goes boating

[Cloudshill123]

Brilliant, will be seeing them live this year

[Cloudshill123]

Fleet Foxes really growing on me, definately going to see them this year,,,

[kahlelelani2]

I think it is interesting what the song means to different people,sort of reflecting mind sets,for me it is a message as to the fragile beauty of life,life being hard and sad at times ,but so beautiful and worth seeing the beauty,CHOOSING to see the beauty.I love the Fleet Foxes!

[charmaster7]

ooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! lol

[nfirebolt1]

heard this song in Border's and shazam'd it

I'm glad I was introduced to this band :)

[FinalPre]

I love Fleet Foxes . i see the band in my country ,i come from Germany and this band was in Rockpalast..Greet From Germany

[EzraZarazua]

this song makes me wanna dance around in circles looking up at the sky and then at the end fall down slowly sipping some red wine...in public O_O

[cloud6060]

@nightingalesquare lucky sonofabitch

[vahallakeeeee]

for some reason the itunes version doesnt have the piano bit at the end.

[feedingear]

@vahallakeeeee my hard copy album doesnt have it either..

[HippyamongHicks]

Feels like peace.

[fobaar182]

i just love the ending piano bit,

maybe just me.

[boxanova66]

@fobaar182 maybe you should shut the fuck up

[5674jt]

great longboard cruising song

[bonelles]

hello hello hello :)

[DylanFlanagan]

@numberonecurefan Fossil Collective? Hmmm, wonder what Animal Collective thinks of that.

[SparklyTwinklyShiny]

Indie music -- the best

[elchacalito07]

the ending so jizztastic......it always gets to me

[rewcroft]

Great tune !!!

[MegaPalletMan]

This is a great song.

[muttlol]

Help! I am addicted to it!

[Themawechsel]

50 people suck dicks

[tav4417]

idk why but just listenin to this song without really payin attention to the lyrics it makes me think about love

[BooUcMe]

My fav part is 0:00-3:18...who else feels the same way?It cant be just me lol The ending is sooooo good :) Fleets I love you

[Mrkathrinedk]

Fleet Foxes <3

[shadowcalm]

beautiful song

[sodacan3]

The moral of the story is, if you're in a gang, don't get shot.

[BooUcMe]

@sodacan3 Oh My God I didnt think thats what the song was about....Cuz its sounds sooo cute and the way they sing it is so soft and sweet. But my god your right!!! Thanks for posting that becuase I would have still listened to this song like awww "fleet foxes are so sweet" when their really talking about DEATH lol Thanks

[sodacan3]

Mmm, yeah, I post comments on a lot of deep videos, and it sounds cold and heartless when I say it, but it is kinda the moral of the story. :P

[BooUcMe]

@sodacan3 You dont sound heartless its just true I guess lol I wouldnt have thought of them in that kinda light lol I still love the song either way. You have good taste in good indie music I give you claps lol Wish you could see me giving claps but you cant :( lol

[arapsasuga]

@sodacan3 get shot so some great band would make an ode about you

[idkimjustbored]

@sodacan3 no, the moral of the story is dont join a gang in the first place.

[sodacan3]

@idkimjustbored Well when he joined the gang they didn't make a song about him, only when he was shot.

[HippyamongHicks]

@sodacan3 You read a lot more into the lyrics than I do haha. I'm a musician so I was getting lost in the rhythm and the layered harmonies, good call though.Changed the song for me.

[sikesalicious]

kinda wish there were more lyrics to the song, but what he has it really deep.

[sezuor]

This song gives me chills and teary eyes

[synnis93]

what is the name of the song in the end?

[calfan24]

absolutely love the piano outro

[EFFANDJEFF]

@calfan24 I agree. Really touching.

[morikahjo]

:) This is one of my favorite songs! :) I love to sing it in the jeep when riding with my elder cousin! :P Great memories to be!

[AdrianV71]

@morikahjo am i the only one who thinks this is hilarious?

[itapedmyself2]

What movie was this featured in?

[MrCigarsandCoffee]

The actual vid is way tight but now they all got haircuts so it doesn't even look like them haha

[AngieEnz84]

Such an awesome song. I love the way the vocals build on top of each other at the beginning, and the harmonies are about as smooth as it gets.

[whooperpooper86]

this symbol reminds me of stick to your guns lol

[CodyRyanBrumley]

mmmm

[vixxytoriaaa]

this song is too short ! ahhh

[antman0719]

Can't believe I'm actually crying over the beauty of this song. Fleet Foxes has done something great for my soul! Peace to you all forever :)

[paix221]

For some reason, at 0:40, I wanna turn it up REALLY load in my car, stick my head out the window, and feel the wind hit my face.

[Mbede77]

@paix221 sounds like a brilliant idea, does that to me haha

[19195658]

@paix221 That sounds just the perfect thing to do.

[jibbajabba311]

@paix221

friends don't let friends drive on youtube

[gueibor]

@paix221 - That'd be because you're ALIVE.

[Deanisalibertine]

@paix221 lmao weirdo

[hodgepodgemagic]

@paix221 the feeling's mutual. One of the best songs to rock out to in the car by far.

[toastyy]

@paix221

followed by the feeling of your car hitting a pole

[LiLPinoySteve]

pretty  insperation indie song! like it.

[0jacie0]

This song is sooo chill. I can't stop hitting repeat <3

[calvero333]

one of the most beautiful, bombastic and at the same time subtly great songs I´ve ever heard!!! turns winter into summer in my heart

[craggk]

Class.

[ignasidiz]

This song has such great meaning. Its about Michael, a friend who was shot, while in a gang. "All swallowed in their coats...scarves of red...." shows this gangs grip and dependence on material possessions, seemingly as a coping mechanism to fit in. "To keep their little heads from falling in the snow" they rely on this so much, this fake persona, to live.

[RylicSoulace]

@ignasidiz

And Michael then bleeds out onto the cold world.

[TheHolmesFactor]

Is there any other song as perfect?

[shannonjanderson]

when did god start a band?????? im a punker for fucks sake but fleet foxs r the shit. new dylon style ot music

[naruthenarcicist]

ahhh this song reminds me of camp......i miss it

[Thraxsmoka420]

48 people have failed at life.

[t00br00tal]

this song volume up? over and over again? yes please

[beryldunn]

love this

[MissErikawashere28]

This song makes me want to run. Just run and run and never stop. I don't know why... but this song makes me feel so alive. I hope that isn't as corny as it sounds.

[Kazishairslikesoradd]

@MissErikawashere28 its about getting shot lol

[psychedelicSAUCE]

@MissErikawashere28 no doubt!

[Cheekapu]

@MissErikawashere28 It is, but corny is good :)

[brothamouzoune]

@MissErikawashere28 sometimes what sounds the most cliche is the closest to the truth!

[flapjack617]

this song is beautiful in every way especially the meaning behind it

[japklaus]

m3x1canclumzy

its some sort of religious song

[m3x1canclumzy]

[jaysin77]

still after listening to it so much, it remains an emotional song to me.

you can tell this song has a stronger personal connection to the artist, than some of the other songs done by fleet foxes. All fantastic songs btw.

[forbasketballonly]

this song is in some old movie of a creeper preist

[GrothendiecksWish]

this song is great. michael clayton.
