Lyrics
I woke up one morning
All my fingers rotten
I woke up a dying man without a chance

I came to your window
Threw a stone and waited
At the door a stranger stood
The stranger's voice said nothing good
I turned to walk the frozen ground alone
All the way home

Wide-eyed walker
Do not wander
Do not wander
Through the dawn

Both my eyes are fading
No light in the evening
Planted like a seed in sand and drowned in rain

Watch you for an hour
He kept you beneath him
He kept you on lock and key
He paid the wage you sent to me
And waste the day so idly alone
All the way home

Wide-eyed walker
Do not wander
Do not wander
Through the dawn
Wide-eyed walker
Do not wander
Do not wander
Through the dawn

“Someone You’d Admire” loses itself in the combination of Pecknold’s gentle croon and a hollow-sounding acoustic.

It’s been said that there’s nothing duller than listening to someone else describe their dreams, but from the first heraldic strums of Grown Ocean, the closer on Fleet Foxes
Fleet Foxes – The Shrine / An Argument
“The Shrine / An Argument” clocks in at 8 minutes, far longer than anything Fleet Foxes have done before. But it perfectly encapsulates all of the strengths of Helplessness Blues
Fleet Foxes – Montezuma
Robin Pecknold writes in a style rich with imagery and symbolism. Much of his work might better be described as representation of feelings and emotion rather than any one
