The new Fleet Foxes
While I was on holidays the new Fleet Foxes album was released, so I went to buy it that day like some sort of avid groupy, just because I could. So far I'm liking it, but I need to wear it in a little. I loaded it into iTunes without being connected to the internet, so it just came in as all these unnamed tracks all over the place, and when I hit what I thought was the first song, I thought I was playing Safe to Land by Jars of Clay by mistake (a song I really like). If you're a Fleet Foxes person, listen to the beginning of Montezuma and then listen to the beginning of this song, and tell me you couldn't mistake them.
There are some interesting lyrics on the album, like Blue Spotted Tail, which is asking all those questions science can't answer. Like this:
Why in the night sky are the lights hung?
Why is the earth moving round the sun?
Floating in the vacuum with no purpose, not a one
Why in the night sky are the lights hung?
Why is life made only for to end?
Why do I do all this waiting then?
Why this frightened part of me that's fated to pretend?
Why is life made only for to end?
