Fleet Foxes - Blue Ridge Mountains



Ok so I meant to post earlier this week but I forgot. I heard this song for the first time on monday, thanks to my roommate. It completely blew me away and instantly became my favorite song, and still is. It's definitely one of the best songs to come out this year. The album is itself is decent, but I actually think their EP(Sun Giant - EP) is more consisent. I personally think that as great as this performance is, the album version is still much better, if you can believe that. I have a chance to see them in a week or two although I'm still debating on whether to go or not. Nonetheless, I'm going to post the lyrics because it, along with everything else in this song is what makes it perfect.

My brother where do you intend to go tonight?
I heard that you missed your connecting flight,
to the blue ridge mountains, over near Tennessee.

You're ever welcome with me any time you like,
Let's drive to the country side, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes,
So no one gets worried, no.
So no one gets worried, no.

But Sean don't get callous,
I'm sure it'll be fine.
I love you, I love you,
Oh brother of mine.

In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
I will do it grandfather,
Wilt to wood and end.
And the river got frozen,
And the hole got snowed in,
And near the moon glow ride,
Till the morning light.

Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind,
In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
I will do it grandfather,
Wilt to wood and end.
And the river got frozen,
And the hole got snowed in,
And near the moon glow ride,
Till the morning light.

Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind,
No.
