Fleet Foxes - Sun It Rises

[TheAbielBeluts]

the guitar and the vocals at 2:43 till the end are so amazing!

[23lalalovely]

I love them....I don't know, they have that peaceful, far away sound that you just wanna drive down a long road to. It sort of makes you feel infinite. Anyway, thanks for this.

[hemlockww]

I think they're saying westward in the morning, westward in the evening... It makes a little more sense...

[YourMomHasFailedYou]

fleet foxes are a beautiful blend of echoes, love, and clever catchy lyrics. i love starting my day off with them.

[ogechinigerian]

I find that folk and country at times parallels African American music. Just an observation.

[shauno5166]

wouldnt say this deserves to be the highest rated album of 08, but it's still better than most of the stuff that came out that year.

[SteampunkPagan]

Great song for the winter Solstice!

[IvonoftheGWF]

After hearing something like this, I don't know how anyone can listen to anything on Helplessness Blues without vomitting.

It just feels so natural, like they aren't under any pressure, it's just flowing through them, they aren't wringing it out of themselves. The vocal and instrumental diversity, it feels so...feral I guess, like they sewed a seed and this album just grew from the ground. The new one just feels like some other band trying to immitate the style they heard off the first album

[artidinarti]

@IvonoftheGWF Pardon my rudeness, but you shut your whore mouth. Fleet foxes do as they please and we have no choice but to kneel and worship them for the folk gods they are.

[usterdboy]

@artidinarti stfu kid

[TheJarredMartin]

@artidinarti Thankyou, that guy is a moron.

[Gunnerkelly]

@IvonoftheGWF It's true. Helplessness Blues just doesn't come anywhere near this stuff. I like it, but it's a rough attempt. I wish I knew what went wrong.

[liogarus]

@Gunnerkelly I need you to read this very carefully:

I used to think the same as you: that the new album wasn't "as good" as the first one. I have a recomendation: download it top quality (320), get a gooood pair of headphones and go to the nearest park (or woods) and give it a full listen.

I don't know what it is, but this album has magic in it, belive me.

Peckhold needed 3 years to make this. It is a complex, engaging pice of music. But it is GOLD.

[jimissarcastic]

@Gunnerkelly Helplessness Blues is equally as good.... (if not better in my mind)...... It has better cleaner production..... the guitars are so much more powerful in helplessness blues.... and the lyrics and vocals are just as powerful...... I thought that the debut album Fleet Foxes with Sun Giant was the best folk rock albums I've heard..... then Helplessness Blues came out... It is the closest thing to flawless I've heard in modern music.

Granted this is all my opinion

[MrCelticaem]

@jimissarcastic ...says the guy who is sarcastic? hahaha

[hayleyluvr]

You know what I love? This video has no "shit talking" or mentioning of other artists... I enjoy this greatly... I can finally sit back and enjoy great music :)

[obitobi100]

that was a sick solo! this band is amazing!! :D

[xxZeroZonexx]

1:32. That is all.

[K2MichaelK]

all i know is that there is a hidden picture of a ass in the painting :D

[xxZeroZonexx]

@K2MichaelK Nu-uh, that was another painting by Pieter Bruegel.

[K2MichaelK]

@xxZeroZonexx really? damn :(

[rainbowbubblesXD]

I just realized, I recognize the painting on the album art. But I can't remember what it is. Something to do with Chaucer maybe? Anyone know?

[Hektas]

The beginning reminds me of my Grandpa, he listens to gospel and bluegrass all the time and I used to fucking loathe it, but... it ain't so bad now, ya dig?

[CaliverMusic]

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

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

[xXiinekXxX71]

I love it! Haha. <3

[RebekahL16]

sounds like an Amish cult at the beginning

[Nanci9675]

holy shit... just in time for Fall, too.

[711Rod]

I just love that riff at 2:00

[ariel12955]

Nothing like waking up in the afternoon and listening to the album starting with this.

[dtsully15]

im a new fan so dont judge me when i ask, what is this album called?

[wolfgirl723]

@dtsully15

self titled album

[AndrewICT]

This is pure velvet. It's auditory bliss.

[jaMMerZzz764]

Man all I think about when I hear this song is walking through the woods and fields near where I live on a sunny winter morning; clear sky, crisp cold air, leaves on the ground, sunlight shining through the trees...always makes me feel happy :)

[KobraCola]

beautiful, as always

[BloodyRose3000]

I was sifting through Pitchfork and just found out about this band; amazing stuff.

[mvucinovich]

Then it's

Sun risin, "danglin' there"

Golden and fair, in the sky

[mvucinovich]

Should be:

The sun rises over my head,

In the mornin "winter"

the songs called White Winter Hymnal....

[KeepinBuzzy]

FF fans should check out

Simon & Garfunkel - Sounds of Silence & Bookends albums

Beach Boys - from Summer days ( & Nights ) to 20/20

Buffalo Springfield - entire ( short lovely ) oeuvre

Bob Dylan .. Blonde on Blonde - 3'rd Time around .. sound familiar ?

Beatles ... you cant not listen to tThe Beatles

[thequeensofheartss]

@KeepinBuzzy Very true man, but you you can't forget about Neil young! Robin himself said listening to young & Dylan changed him. good recommendations

[BigTuna1994]

@KeepinBuzzy 4th Time Around. And If you recommend Bob Dylan, you can't not recommend his entire catalog from 1963-1967...

[lorenzotrojan]

takes you back few centuries.... so beautiful...

[TheJeebieJar]

@lorenzotrojan lol how old are you ?

[emmaismad265]

RED SQUIRREL.

genious.

[RainbowFishies]

I wish I could wake up to this every morning

[firewalkwithme1]

@KatTheGinger You should check out this tune by The Boxer Rebellion, called 'Caught by the Light.' Let me know what you think about that one in comparison to this song!

[TonkyTube]

I just quit smoking weed, I've Fleet Foxes now ! 

[newbootcity]

@TonkyTube Bro just smoke and THEN listen to them...oooommmg :DD

[TonkyTube]

@newbootcity I do it all the time :D

[ZACKnirvana]

well i'll be damned! haha i always thought it was whisper in the morning whisper in the evening. you learn something new everyday :)

[Ziggmiester797]

jersey shoree(:

[metalsabatico]

0:48 reminded me of a song in Ok computer, I think it is Exit music

[Deathbunny14]

This song should end at 2:40, cause these fuckers don't know how to end a song.

[SorrowfulMystery]

@Deathbunny14 That's okay with me.  I wish their songs went on and on.

[Feygeass]

Good ol' wonderful folk :D

[BruceyTV]

i dont know why, but 1:32 - 1:39 is the most eargasmic thing ive ever heard.

[fender2094]

@Dzaiko listen to mumford and sons if you haven;t already, they're AMAZING!

[hairom28]

@fender2094 Mumford and Sons is one of my favorite bands, I can't go a day without listening to them.

[EzraZarazua]

@hairom28 I ♥ Mumford & Sons too!

[Riochii]

I listen to this song everyday on the bus ride from school.

It sounds so nice while looking at the sun reflecting off of the sugar cane.

c:

[rockincaribbean]

what's with the first part of the song about the red squirrel? it doesn't really fit...

[Koopgeminikiller]

makes me want to be in nature just walking around finding those ill spots in the mountains.

[CDSol91]

I know you probably don't pay attention to this anymore, but I think I found some lyric mishearings. Just thought I'd tell you.

'In the mornin', when I (rise)'

and

'The sun risin', dangle-ing there'

[lululemonathleticaa]

BRIANNA SAUNDERS :) love ya and you love this song. ha ha ha ha good timees

[lululemonathleticaa]

[iamedgargraham]

Fleet Foxes is so pure in every way. I can be in any mood and listen to this CD.

[Qber4life]

@iamedgargraham Ditto

[PompeyDane]

Very beautiful and moving music. Makes me think of The Incredible String Band and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.

[WafflitoTheWaffle]

[Amandabearish]

[MakeJoyfulNoise]

[MakeJoyfulNoise]

=]]

[LewisLickitung]

Haha aw! Don't worry about it, and I forgot to say thanks for commenting the video! ^_^

[MakeJoyfulNoise]

i think they're saying "the sun will rise soon enough", not "in the"

[LewisLickitung]

You're right man, I fixed it.
