They’ll take you down to the river
They’ll lay you down by the river
They’ll shoot you down by the river
Leave you to drown by the river
They’ll say it’s love when its not
They’ll send you to war and you’ll
Return in a pine box
Somehow they’ll claim it’s your fault
They killed that little child in the park
They’ll take you down to the river
They’ll lay you down by the river
They’ll shoot you down by the river
Leave you to drown by the river
They’ll say it’s love when its not
They’ll send you to war and you’ll
Return in a pine box
Somehow they’ll claim it’s your fault
They killed that little child in the park
See I never wanted to lose your love
I just wanted to choose your love
Lost in a moment of confusion
Now it’s all an illusion
They’ll take you down to the river
They’ll lay you down by the river
They’ll shoot you down by the river
Leave you to drown by the river
They’ll say it’s love when its not
They’ll send you to war and you’ll
Return in a pine box
Somehow they’ll claim it’s your fault
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
