I need to do lots of papers to do for the university and I can't concentrate it’s a universal problem, I have a friend that I introduce her the band, and she told me a few days later that she's mad at me because all weekend, she listened to them, instead of writing papers.
The thing is that I study musicology, so instead of listen to Monteverdi, I listen to Robin sings:"only you…" I think that it's some anti education statement that they trying to do
I like how at the end I sit here with goosebumps and my jaw open because of how incredible that was. Then theyre asked if theyre okay with the recording and all they do is sheepishly say "yeah, sure, it was okay." It was way better than fucking okay.
@SpicyFloridaMagic I've played this song and played that part using a violin bow on an acoustic guitar. As long as you use a hell of a lot of rosin it soundsss really cool.
one of the few youtube videos i have seen where people are not bitching and arguing about something that has nothing to do with the video. this pleases me. probably because its hard to deny that Fleet Foxes are the Bee's Knees.
I went on the great American road trip last summer to the Pacific northwest - this song and Johnny Cash's The Mercy Seat were about the only two, damned songs I listened to the whole time. God I love this band - they've restored my faith in current music.
Man, I'm so sorry. I went to click on the 'thumbs up' icon, and the mouse moved. Sorry man. I'd love to echo your thoughts too. Quite simply, one of the finest bands around. Stunning!
i'm supposed to be doing homework, but this is a much better education. thank you fleet foxes; while i have an awful teenage-dom, i can wear out your vinyl LPs and say, Days are just drops in the river.
@FlyBird Oh my fucking shit. I know right? The first time I heard this my jaw literally dropped. I was just liked Holy are you fucking kidding me right now?
I'm a huge My Morning Jacket fan & I will say that Fleet Foxes have become a close second. I believe Jim James & Robin Pecknold would tilt the world on its axis if they were to perform together. That being said, I really hope that they can sing a song together at some point.
um, playing the guitar with a bow takes precision and focus. not to mention some people are just more introverted with their musical expression. id like to see you do better mr. rock star
Wow you guys are so ignorant! All I said was that it looked like he never shows emotion, I never said anything thing about his is physical playing abilities. I totally get that playing a guitar with a bow is extremely arduous, christ lighten up assholes!
please check out my cover of this beautiful tune! peace x x
