This reminds me of walking through an old neighborhood (old houses and huge oak trees), and it's late autumn. The wind is whipping and you think it's going to snow but it doesn't. And all you want to do is go inside and wrap up in a blanket with a hot cup of cider.
"And I can't see you, with anyone else. Even if that means holding me down, even if that means losing myself." Wow, goosebumps down my entire spine. I feel like so many people can relate to these simple, true, and beautiful lyrics. This song along with all other work related to Robin Pecknold is absolutely flawless. This line particularly is just so powerful.
@thetreesify That's the spirit! ;) Now go jump off a bridge jk.. Robin is one of the most honest, and down-to-earth people/musicians, who wouldn't want to talk to the man. :D
@thetreesify my ex and i went to see fleet foxes in birmingham and we happened to walk from the back of the venue and ran into robin and van dyke parks and we talked for about ten minutes and got a picture. first time in my life i was absolutely speechless upon meeting someone.
Every time I hear this, I get pangs in my heart and stomach but I can't get away from his voice. I can imagine this is how he feels about that one person that always draws him back.
Well this is refreshing. I really like Robin Pecknold's solo stuff a lot. I dont know why.. this is just my opinion, but I feel like the song "Helplessness blues" is a little too much of what I expected from the Fleet foxes formula. Still cant wait to hear the rest of their album though
mmmm too beautiful for words x

The atmosphere in this song is so thick, it's amazing. It's really Simon & Garfunkel-esque.
