Fleet Foxes-Drops In The River

[idunno22909]

My favorite FF song to date.

[YThorr]

Guy at the bottom of video looks like Brian from Spaced.

[krystensoto]

This song truly moves me.

[ThatGuyNamedTim]

to be honest i kind of like the tight fan base these guys have, some bands get crowded

[ally541]

I kinda wish the one guy would shave off his beard lolz.

[nisreenomarmobayed]

hands down their best song

[MariaHamsterLover]

So beautiful. ;_; <3

[DreamingPamphleteer]

Top middle= Paul McCartney

[CaliverMusic]

If you love Fleet Foxes, you'll LOVE Caliver!! Guaranteed!!

Check us out at calivermusic.bandcamp.com!!!!!

[rhcpwolf]

beautiful beautiful song!!!!!!!!!!

[SmelDiferenToMidget]

FAKE AND GAY!!!

[washingtonvcify]

the sound of the appalachian mountains.

[KM581]

i dont even bother tryn to here the words the melody is my favorite part

[josgvis]

Amazing harmonies, and music, what a discovery.

[hanaxcb]

how on earth have i survived without this band i stumbled upon them 5 mins ago , best 5 mins of my live ;)

[whoarethebrainpigs]

@hanaxcb wha???,,,5 mins,,, gee have you got some treats instore!!. join the rest of the addicted,

[blackstreet1]

You know what I hope they keep pumping out the great music but too wish that Fleet Foxes don't get what they deserve is fucked up, selfish, and makes you a horrible fan. Like sure I hope that they become famous and still make incredible songs like this, but if they become famous and turn pop at least I know that they deserve the money instead of Bieber or Ke$ha. You never know if all the indie/folk/any good music turned pop then we got something like the 60-70s era again. Don't wish bad on them.

[AthenasAngel]

Dam! I can't believe they're coming to Portugal to play in the Optimus Alive festival in Lisbon and I'm broke!!!!! >.< baaaah! ganda shit, foda-se!

[wackojacko104]

I don't want fleet foxes to become famous/more famous

[LindaCil]

Art Garfunkel has some cheek. It's more than that, though I adore him

[terrybeaton]

Sometimes a band gets famous and sells out to keep record sales high. But sometimes it's just a matter of writing new songs while Being famous. Fame and success can change the kind of songs that are in you! You no longer have the same pain to draw on, or at least with fame and success you lose sight of it. It's not always a matter of selling out!

[RattleThemBones]

have i been transported to another world or is there actually beauty in this one?

[AthenasAngel]

@RattleThemBones are you implying most fleet foxes songs aren't beautiful, cuz I think their lyrics are very imaginative and create amazing mental pictures for the listener. but if you meant that it's surprising there's beauty in this *comtemporary* song, i agree, most songs nowadays are really bad...

[Mijicm]

@AthenasAngel Music and lyrics, two separate things

[AthenasAngel]

@Mijicm i'm perfectly aware of that... I didn't even HAVE to mention their melodies though, because they're choc-full of awesomeness, so I knew RattleThemBones couldn't possibly be saying most of their songs don't have beautfiul MELODY (Music is actually the conjunction of melody and lyrics, so the term melody is the most accurate one in this case).

[kajtschi]

beautiful!!!

[thekidthatssweet]

fantastic long boarding music

[KEVOREGON]

I can dig this.

[kaitiesque]

Why should you worry about how famous the Fleet Foxes are? Isn't it enough that you're fortunate enough to know about them?

[5940Collins]

I dropped acid in the woods and listened to static on A.M. radio for about 3 hours. TRANSCENDENT IS RIGHT BABY!

[mothbits]

So dreamy..

[Cactusbeaver]

Can anyone tell me what the bowed instrument in the background is? It's an amazing sound.

[xXTitoman66Xx]

I never want this song to end,  but it does every time. Lesson of life, eh?

[Kilchattan7]

YOU know,

K 

[27853388]

@midlakefan1979 They are also similar similar to "Mumford and Sons". Like them a lot.

[blackstreet1]

@27853388 except all the guys from fleet foxes are beautiful and the mumford and sons band aren't. and i like the singing of fleet foxes more.

[Mozzerella100]

@midlakefan1979 no on is similar to fleet foxes.

[Mozzerella100]

*no one

[dogmaster97]

@shanaynay7000 im a guy but i totally agree :\

[frednolasco]

these guys are definitely the best there is right now. never heard anything so pure and beautiful and transcendental. portugal wants you to come fleet foxes, dont be sneaky and come once and for all!

[Cathye3]

Just read they have another CD coming out in early spring.

Can't wait, they are so awesome.

[shanaynay7000]

If this song were a man, I'd marry it. :)

[jadekillcity]

you knwo when you listen to a band for the first time, and you have never seen what thy look like, well how i imagined this and to look is pretty spot on to what they look like

[hollowxxangel]

two people are douchebags who have no taste.

[snorhoofd]

@hollowxxangel

1 person is a douchebag who doesnt let people like what they like

[losermonster]

@snorhoofd You're a douchebag for not letting people not like what they don't like.

[Theozzie11]

@snorhoofd 1 person is small who gets offended by someone else’s comment and 1 person is even smaller for wasting his time writing to that person

[dollemate]

This is a beauty.

Is it a mandolin playing the chords on the 2nd and 4th beat?

If so, I have to own one.

[googlemanic]

LET IT GOOOOOOOO.....OOOOOOOHHHHH

let it goooooo-oooh, ooooooh!

3:18 to 3:38 love it! :)

[FluffyBunniesOnFire]

This song gives me deja vu, like some distant forgotten memory.

[4fitter27]

Their songs remind me of that old band, The Band.

[bonzard]

fleet foxes you make my crappy days better.

[GrahamAW2001]

Their songs remind me of that old band America

[Rivaleka]

Oh my god, where have I heard this song...??? ♥

[M3GTR]

these guys should be bigger than what they are. Theyre cd is excellent

[M3GTR]

@M3GTR oops i meant their not theyre

[negetivekreep]

The very best music often hovers below the radar of the mainstream conciousness...Sixto Rodriguez is a great example of this.

[loveandhaight67]

Best part starts at 2:12

[olivepalm9]

the lyrics are just celestial.

[Tonlondong]

@Jackiemnp Where is your evidence for the birning of braincells. A short search into google will proove otherwise. Although it may 'feel' like your brain is melting - which is actually quite a pleasent feeling, it doesnt.

[joeygsmom]

wow these guys sound amazing, not from this time period thats for sure. Love their old style.

[MoonNymph775]

Fleet Foxes are brilliant.

[AdamRyanKirkwood]

One of my favourites... what a great track.

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

This is so fucking good it actually scares me! Who's the one dickhead who voted thumbs down?

[SkinnyBlackJeanz]

this is the first time ive heard this song and i just calmed down straight away felt like i was drifting, bon iver and the fleet foxes are awesome!

[Zorg2006]

My favourite Fleet Foxes song. Everything about it is perfect, it's like a jewel.

[HarleyMarley13]

this song.. just went right to my heart.

it help to read the lyrics,

decipher the meaning...

& it just meant a lot.

[Kamakazi1994]

days are just drops in the river to be lost always

[armando95201ify]

esta banda toca bien chingon

[pizzaROX]

@armando95201ify

haha =) orale

[Galoag2012]

i feel those little spiders climbing up my back... this sound is just too pure and beautiful.

[coreilly796]

Why are people complaining that the Fleet Foxes aren't more famous. Do they want them to be ruined like Kings of Leon?

[dropdeadandfly]

@coreilly796 do you not want the musicains to make a decent living?

[MAHNAYMAARON]

@coreilly796 I was hoping I wouldn't have to encounter people like you on here, but I guess I did, because you obviously know what's good for a band and they're life right? Just like Kings of Leon? Because They aren't ruined, you're a hipster.

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@MAHNAYMAARON *their, it's possesive.... they're is they are.

[MAHNAYMAARON]

@xxxslayerxxx666 Thanks :3

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@MAHNAYMAARON you should have done this..... :3) that way the 3 looks like a nose!

[coreilly796]

@MAHNAYMAARON - You're obviously too much of a moron to understand what I'm saying, and I'm not even going to explain myself. I'm just glad that the minority who gave my comment the thumbs up understand the message that I put across. They are understand the unappreciated brilliance of the Fleet Foxes.

[IDFPleonexia]

@coreilly796 Lol, "they are understand". Fail.

[coreilly796]

@IDFPleonexia I apologise, 'They Understand' I meant. Incase you didn't get that.

[rozz02]

@coreilly796 i understand what your saying and i agree, but its just crazy that they aren't more famous their so damn good

[Brancina]

@coreilly796 great point. finaly someone with the same opinion.

[2tYlerfAilure7]

@coreilly796 because talented bands deserve success.

[Prankster10001]

@coreilly796 Gawd you're so hipster

[coreilly796]

@Prankster10001 Fuck you. Do you think I care what you think.

[KM581]

@coreilly796 i feel that when a group get that famous its there responsibility to stay the same

[Sam5LC]

@coreilly796 Agreed, but if fame does strike, let's hope it doesn't come for a good decade or two ... as for now Long live the foxes free from fame! And may they earn enough to thrive!

[TheMonkeyJasper]

Can't even describe how amazing this song is.

[JodieSavesTheDay]

I just found these... and ..wow..

[derekghgh]

it sounds like they used a Didgeridoo in the background

[AdamRyanKirkwood]

I love this band. They kind of sound like the stuff you get from the modern British folk scene over here : ).

[ocd44]

@AdamRyanKirkwood nah man, they sound like the Pacific Northwest

[AdamRyanKirkwood]

@ocd44 Okay I don't exactly know how the Pacific Northwest sounds (obviously I know Fleet Foxes are from Seattle) but I'm saying they sound like the modern folk scene that is emerging in the UK.

[flamingofunk]

love : ) love

[hellojaydub09]

I love you

[CrazyGuyMeh]

What is the instrument at the beginning and the end? It sounds really cool.

[jstock1989]

its an electric guitar played with a violin bow

[Doriiexplorii]

I really love the music that this band makes, it's completely fascinating. I enjoy this song so much!! ^^

[overclock8586]

they sound like they belong in the 70s. its kinda nice.

[14coldplay]

and they look like they're from Wyoming in the 1800's. I love everything they are

[TheLastNaturalist]

As a former Wyomingite, I wish we could claim them! Washington state is where the FF come from. God I love this band.

[ryanbloor]

This band seems somewhat out of time.

[ssspencer93]

its just off beats and time sig changes theyr actually REALLY consistent it just sounds funny with the different signatures

[ryanbloor]

Hi... By out of time I meant they seem out of place at this very moment in time. Playing during offbeats is actually something that just love.

[ssspencer93]

o gotcha! ha my bad man ha

[LEBOBSKI25]

the doors - the end

[sherrylynn70]

a group I am not familiar with until I came to YT...thank you ~cjthemusicman~ for sharing this very beautiful tune with me....the real joy of YT...moments like this..and, Fragensteller56, thank you so much for your time keeping great tunes around for folks like me...Many Stars to you!

[whookairs]

It's like they're not human!!

[mertjematje]

Do you think they are aliens ?

Anyway this is some great music

[whookairs]

"There outta this world"

[ChibiVampie]

0_0;

found love.

[olivha]

<3 love it love love love

[Vysethelegend12]

3:41 - 4:00

Goosebumps. Every time.

[thompsonjacob1]

haha, nope, actually thier voices and soind sounds like simon and garfunkel, one of my favs

[AndersFriedrichsen]

If you want Simon and Garfunkel-voices check out Kings of Convenience, this is more like a Neil Diamond and the Beach Boys love-child

[insekticide]

weird that the target age group for this video goes straight from 45-54 to 13-17. we need to fill in the gaps.

[Rigney123]

Flat out, love this song. Stumbled upon it one day when a friend recommended them to me and I haven't been able to stop since.

[slatonsun]

its so hard to believe these guys are in there 20s

[assleyyyyyy]

Yeah. Their so amazing and pure.

[facefail]

fuuuuuuuuuuuck i love this song.

[daydreamerrrr]

this is one of their best songs everrrrrrr

[Qber4life]

This reminds me a little of their older songs...anyone else?

[MsScienceNerd]

not bad

[ShawDAMAN]

Great group reminiscent of the great vocal groups from the 60's and 70's but still unique.

[whookairs]

it's like, how can anyone NOT like fleet foxes?

[scarvesofred]

true that!

[MayaMorabeto]

This is amazing.

[Thelollypop09]

Beautiful, haunting and electric; I love this song so much, it ,for some weird reason reminds me of the movie 'cold mountain' maby because of the violin entrance, its just has that a great atmosphere to it

[withteeth1989]

it's like the velvet underground, joan biaz and modest mouse rolled into one!

love it!!

[kyletheunicorn]

2:14-2:25 I jizzed my pants

[WoWanate]

whats he saying during those parts?

[2k7umuppet]

desert island music..so fresh and new that it makes you wonder how could it be bettered!hopefully it will be with their next selection of tunes

[tahini87]

i agree about musics ability to transport.

[tahini87]

such a beautiful song

[redthunderhammer]

Seen them on saturady night live, damn I am impressed of there performance, I hope they come to colorado, play at red rock shoot would be awesome, I hope these guys really decide to stick together and make more albums, funny thing about the groups band name, I've been calling them fleetwood fox, my mistake, lol, but damn this is a good band.

[jontenz]

Absolutely amazing band, i just discovered them. They seem so underrated?

[CMGvsMTB]

Because they're actually good.

[fraklinthedog]

i have spent a year looking for the perfect setting to listen to this band. every time i think i find it something is not quite right. and that's a good thing. because every time i listen i find a new appreciation for the music given my location, on a beach, hiking in the woods, driving through a city, the music is timeless and epitomizes what talent really is.

[sotoyota]

objective comment

[mikeanson999]

Are you suggesting these thoughts aren't put forward by a concious entity?

Devils Advocat

[DanteNeverCries]

Robin Pecknold, the lead singer, had even said music has a transportative ability . It does that...

[landman10]

My favorite place to listen is lying on the wood floor in my living room. I not only hear it, but feel it. Its wonderful. I can close my eyes and imagine I'm standing on the beach in La Push, Washington---in the fog.

Good songs, and good performance, contain universal truths that appeal to people across all lines. Fleet Foxes has captured their share of "truths".

[plypayj3]

I heard this song the top of a montain yesterday, it was magical, and i know what you mean about really feeling it every beat every note, great music is beautiful

[Brandonp76]

Its unreal. Especially with acid...

[plypayj3]

Oh fuck yes

[Brandonp76]

That's the first music I heard on acid, deep in the woods. It was nothing if not transcendent. They're so good its crazy... I cant help but wonder why they are not the biggest band in the world right now. Society sucks is why...

[2k7umuppet]

a transcendent experience when on acid? how original.wha did ya expect? good choons..this music does not need acid.

[robertputneydrake]

W O R D :P

[riddimfire]

@Brandonp76 thats one good idea man!

[FretfulRogueHD]

@Brandonp76 Yea, society is fucked up. But it's kinda hypocritical how you're doing drugs...

[Jackiemnp]

@Brandonp76 acid burns away your brain cells. Maybe no one is listening to you, because you're brain isn't fully intact.

I love Fleet Foxes <3 :)

[Tonlondong]

@Jackiemnp if you type into google 'LSD cured my head ache@ you will find some evidence for theraputic effects on the brain.

[thompskXV]

@Brandonp76 fucking a right it does

[GreyAlaska]

@Brandonp76 Yeah! Fuck most other people and their different opinions!

... and yet somehow I completely agree with your comment. :P

[purzhinkitti]

@Brandonp76 Maybe it's best we kept them all to ourselves. Let's hide them and not share them with anybody! XD

[Theozzie11]

@purzhinkitti i agree, its like waking up 6am on a sunday feeling as though ur the only perosn in the world watching the sunrise, just ur own little secret.... and if they want to find them they should look for them

[xrandomwarriorx]

@Brandonp76 cuz the entire world doesn't do acid

[Bones0077]

@Brandonp76 Hippie.

[Alexander14738]

@Bones0077

Dick head

[Orochimarusdog1]

@Brandonp76 I guess that makes you cool or something, right? I guess I should give you a thumbs up like 35 other pretentious cunts.

[pain2go]

@Orochimarusdog1 So Ironic

[gomashedpotatoes]

@Brandonp76 I recently had a very similar experience on shrooms in a beautiful valley

[jacsam6]

i just cant stop listening to their songs. just wonder ful 11

[kpaigep]

i listen to this song repeatedly. this is WONDERFUL.

[kittenkraze13]

I just found this band...they're incredible.

[Geeberz1]

bought the ep and lp, couldn't have spent my money any better way :)
