I built a ribbon out of moss, plain blue moss
and presented it to you on your birthday
you laughed like the wind was nothing
your laughter still rattles me
every day, hour, always
Estrella
That was a past life, and that’s life
I’ve been reincarnated into this… thing.
that resembles nothing of the former man
but your breast stood up to celestial law
and the ribbon of distance between us was cut
Estrella
I was roused and aroused
only you can rouse me in that way
like music, language was blown out
like pulling down the sea
like plunging into the stars
Estrella
If I am delirious
it is because you are harboring my tongue
my faithless tongue
Estrella
Estrella esta noche va bien para compartir
Estrella etsa noche va bien
Tonight a star goes well to share

Maybe the best thing David ever did, which makes me extremely sad. A Jews record in all but name, but more direct in its lyricism without losing that indescribable feeling, that beauty and sorrow and lighthearted sarcasm all rolled into one profound set of lyrics that are David Berman. Not to mention the band playing on the record is probably the best Berman ever recorded with. Rest in Peace DCB. jack_thorn16
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
