lyrics
Ten ton soldiers ripping up boulders
Take me to the park
I give you
Eight pound shoulders, holy joke rollers
Pound me on the back
I leave you
Three charms
Lets put ‘em on
Prairie dog searchlights
My favorite wand
I’m casting out five man bird songs
Hologram headlongs
Whistling “The Western Wide-eye”
Six man steel drums banging out pilgrims
Clocking out at 5 of 5
Now when I say, “Go”
You better break, break, break
Break for Abraham
And when I say, “No”
You better fake, fake, fake
Fake your weaker hand
Four fine wheel-backs
Glowing like Ajax
Lifting up the eastern skyline
Fifteen fingers mother delivered
Waiting to be soaked in lime
I tried stone
It was richer
It was thicker than I want to be
So I tried bone
It was rhythm
It was given
It was part of me
Ten ton soldiers ripping up boulders
Take me to the park
I give you
Here I go
Maybe I was there
Maybe I’m the plan
I was leasing your chance
I was moving my force below
I was coming around
Everyone I grew was here
My state tree
Take me to the park
It’s mine
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. isaiah_stuart
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
