Fleet Foxes : White Winter Hymnal [ official ]

The large sound of Fleet Foxes' self-described "baroque harmonic pop" comes to life through the amazing talents of director Sean Pecknold (lead vocalist Robin's brother), who crafts a claymation paean to the life-cycle of a forest inhabited by gnomes.

I was following the pack

all swallowed in their coats

with scarves of red tied 'round their throats

to keep their little heads

from fallin' in the snow

And I turned 'round and there you go

And, Michael, you would fall

and turn the white snow red as strawberries

in the summertime..

Yup it's a story about a guy who has to watch a couple of people from having their heads fall off. He gets distracted, and the moment he looks away Michael's head falls off.

... its about decapitation, not even joking,

Scarves of red tied 'round their throats is blood hugging the wound

turn the white snow red = blood stained snow

its a mass decapitation i dont know who Michale is but he is probably someone who the person singing knew

i really love this video and song, it's not particurlarly fast moving, so i only listen when i feel slow... like now - after a long day of work, this song is great :)

thankyou for it!

This is magical - anyone know who Michael is and what the story is about. The voices mix so beautifully thanks to whomever posted.
