Fleet Foxes - Montezuma

An artistic narrative for "Montezuma," by Fleet Foxes. Done entirely by hand, shot frame by frame.

"So now I am older than my mother and father
when they had their daughter
now what does that say about me

Oh how could I dream of such a selfless and true love
could I wash my hands of
just looking out for me?

Oh man what I used to be
Oh man oh my oh me
Oh man what I used to be
Oh man oh my oh me

In dearth or in excess
both the slave and the empress
will return to the dirt, I guess, naked as when they came

I wonder if I'll see any faces above me
or just cracks in the ceiling
nobody else to blame?

Oh man what I used to be
Oh man oh my oh me
Oh man that I used to be
Oh man oh my oh me

Gold teeth and gold jewelry
every piece of your dowry
throw them into the tomb with me
bury them with my name

Unless i have someday
Ran my wandering mind away

Oh man what i used to be
Montezuma to Tripoli
Oh man oh my oh me"

This is gonna get the attention it deserves

If this isn't the official video then someone should get paid and contracts should be signed and futures of amazingness should be solidified. I couldn't pry my eyes from a single second of the video. I was, and I continue to be, hooked. This is golden. Fleet Foxes are failing if they let this producer walk away.
