Cherry Pie Blues (demo)

To my misfortune, I'm goin' down
Though I said I won't no more, it's here I drown
Cos life is a river of constant flow
They tellin' me to sink or swim, they in their boats
Well if life is but a dream then I been woke
The dogs are barkin', the moon burns red
And I can't help from thinkin' this world wants me dead
They want a surrender, they want a soul
Alll these chains they put on me's a heavy load
If this life ain't meant for me just let me know
Long as I can remember, I been walkin' away
With everybody tellin' me I cannot stay
And when I go out, when I go outside
Too many devils at my heels I cannot hide
If this life just treat me mean why do I try
Why can't this life just offer me my cherry pie

Franklin's Tunnel (demo)

In this tunnel there's a light
But it's shinin' on the other side of time
Notwithstanding I'm alright,
Yea I got me one good place I can hide
The shadows around me know what I like
I can be anybody when I'm unseen
Tobacco and whisky next to me
I take a drag of my Zig-Zag and have a drink
Cold air of the country on my teeth
Moonrise on the meadow and over the creek
When twilight flickers I know to sing, singin' until the morning
comes to cover me
My brothers and sister on my mind
How I wish I could be there all the time
But they don't know how hard I try
To be something to look at with easy eyes
Just tell 'em I'll come back home when it's right
I can be so helpless, I can be so blind

Close to the end of the century I had a fever dream
About all the death I might find
In it I knew every poem by heart that was ever made
then rightfully died
As of late I have long nights no matter the news of the day
And I shouldn't say
But it just don't feel right to feel right
When nothing but sorrow remains
See all the missiles that's searchin' for land
See all of the men and the women who's doin' the same
So far removed from the issues at hand in the western world
We see it in vain
As of late I have long nights no matter the news of the day
And I shouldn't say
But it just don't feel right to feel right
When nothing but sorrow remains
I live in an age that's repeatin' the past
Almost word for word, I wonder how long it could last
The Garden of Eden has not yet been found
not a single blade that grows in it's grass
As of late I have long nights no matter the news of the day
And I shouldn't say
But it just don't feel right to feel right
When nothing but sorrow remains
Only sorrow remains

You always run
And leave me wonderin' with thoughts to kill me
Can't you see what I'm going through got little to do with you
I need someone
Who's like a ladder I can climb to safety
When my world is flooded babe, I'm gonna need some higher ground
I was hangin' under the moonlight
Self-medicating, far from my home
Grasshoppers all stop their singin'
And when my bottle was empty I was all alone
Ain't no other way I'd like to go
I've come undone
And I've been tangled up in all my slackin'
Quit laughin', you do too, I'm not the only one
But I have fun
Hell yes, I'd rather get along with sorrow
than to borrow happiness, returning it on time
I was hangin' under the moonlight
Self-medicating, far from my home
Grasshoppers all stop their singin'
And when my bottle was empty I was all alone
Ain't no other way I'd like to go

Leavin', Grievin'
02:24
|
|||
|
Silent my maker, silent my killer
Didn't take too long till I cashed in my fools gold
for fake silver
This land will make you mad, this land will turn
The good heart bad
Take a heavy swallow of rum before I leave my hotel
Leavin', leavin',
Grievin', grievin'
May my heart break its silence again--
Silent night

This is undoubtedly my single favorite album of all time. It feels like such a perfect culmination of all the themes and ideas Fleet Foxes has been working with since 2008. It answers many of the questions found on both Helplessness Blues and Crack-Up, and represents an incredible maturation and growth in Robin Pecknold's perspective. Their other albums are certainly masterpieces, but this, in my opinion, is their magnum opus. I doubt it will be recognized as such in its time.
