Come down from the mountain, you have been gone too long
The spring is upon us, follow my ornate song
Settle down with me by the fire of my yearning
You should come back home, back on your own now

The world is alive now, in and outside our home
You run through the forest settled before the sun
Darling, I can barely remember you beside me
You should come back home, back on your own now
You should come back home, back on your own now

In the evening light, when the woman of the woods came by
To give to you the word of the old man
In the morning tide, when the sparrow and the seagull fly
And Jonathan and Evelyn get tired

Lie to me if you will
At the top of Barringer Hill
Tell me anything you want, any old lie will do
Call me back to, back to you

Lie to me if you will
At the top of Barringer Hill
Tell me anything you want, any old lie will do
Call me back to, back to you

Found a bug here - I'm hearing So Damn Lucky by Dave Matthews Band, but the metadata is showing Fleet Foxes!



That happens sometimes on my end, too - I concluded that it only happens when my internet connection is weak and/or if the browser in which I have RP opened is under heavy load (too many opened and pinned tabs, ugh). Not sure if there's anything Jarred can do about it, the bug might be hard to reproduce

I swear, whenever I hear that very first chord, I expect to hear Billy Joel:

Oooooohhhh.... wooaaah wooaah woaahhh.... for the longest time

It must trigger some wasted space from my 80s teenage brain.

We're not all so well-informed, especially us types that aren't capable musicians, so debate is always valuable.  There's no need for unnecessary argument over anything.  One should be allowed to express an opinion without sarcasm or judgement.  

Operor non nutritor trolls  seems to apply.  I'm just too old for the aggro.

Saw them at the Eden Project a few years ago, and I'm still finding it hard to equate the extraordinarily talented, Mick Fleetwood-esque Josh Tillman with the self-absorbed a$$wipe who calls himself Father John Misty.

I like Fleet Foxes.  The name always brings me back to the day I was walking with my then fiance (now wife) near our home.  A pair of foxes ran out from under some bushes, chased each other across the road, and disappeared into a tree farm.  We never did see those foxes again.

The painting on the Fleet Foxes album cover is "Netherlandish Proverbs", which, as pointed out a few times below, was painted by Pieter Bruegel, the Elder.

At first I didn't care for this, but then the change midway through kind of perked my ears up a bit. I few more listens may turn this into a favorite, I think.

I cannot place the song, but King Crimson has almost exactly the same guitar chord progression, albeit more jangly, in one of their songs. The tempo is, obviously, more subdued in any Fleet Foxes piece.
