The second half of this song is my new all-time favorite half of a song.

[@evelyn-ed7nn]

Scatha I KNOW

[@tarahdumford1583]

My thoughts exactly!

[@crieverytim]

mulatu astatke tezeta is the name of the song at the very end

[@matthewfateful]

Right there w/ you!

[@LouieKayy]

The second half of this song is just... magical. That transition just melts into your ears.

[@yibuseato]

I wish it could last forever.

[@meanssnothingg]

The transition does something to me

[@matthewfateful]

Can we all agree that this song is just on a different level.

[@BandBoy1410]

Would you say that it's on another ocean?

[@Dewojet98]

That transition into the second half is probably one of my favorites pieces of music of all time.. like the same kind of goosebumps I get listening to the Beatles

[@tsegatesfaye7368]

This is my all-time second favorite part of any song. My all-time favorite is phill Collins - in the air tonight. Something about the drums does something to me.

[@TrailerPoopers]

The melody in the june section is incredible.

[@YesoMs]

Still one of my favourite melodies ever, I remember just going "... the hell is that!?" when I first heard it.

[@pistachio0891]

I think this is their most complete, seamless song. So well structured.

[@pistachio0891]

Scratch that, it's the most beautiful song in this decade.

[@commonlogic3646]

@@pistachio0891 wrong. The shrine/an argument is the best of the decade

[@kundaigotore992]

Third of May is up there

[@bagwipes]

@@commonlogic3646 I'd vote for The Plains / Bitter Dancer - so I think we can all agree their best songs are the double ones!

[@commonlogic3646]

@@bagwipes haha i can't be mad at that, am these are very great

[@c0dy49lrra]

The June section is one of my favorite moments of the album. I have been listening to the NPR stream of this all week long.

[@Zeokoz]

Yeah the rhythm has that drive to it - so hoping to see them live! I might have to drive a bit but I gotta do it.

[@BingBongHell]

c0dy49lrra Dude me to... best stuff on the album (June section)

[@haziq880]

What's June section?

[@c0dy49lrra]

It happens at 2:06 mark of the song.

[@Michael_Tucci]

The June section of this track was worth the 6 year wait alone.

[@LewisLickitung]

Definitely one of the all-time best FF songs.

[@user-hq8mx7mn3u]

I dunno, I think the pretender is pree good

[@calicosky9863]

[@2202Ted]

HAHA I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE LOL pmsl lmfao roflmaovvpka kpv

[@aithjawcraig9876]

I like it, but nothing they have done really compares to their EP and Sun Giant. Helplessness Blues is a close second though.

[@haleyjordanart9442]

AGREE 100%

[@SteIIaPolaris]

This song always reminded me of the season's transition from Winter to Summer. Everything is so slow and quiet during the winter months, but as the seasons begin to change, everything starts waking up; The birds are more lively and the trees bud with baby greens. Before you know it, everything is bustling with life again, it's quite a beautiful transition.

[@JsRf13]

I always get an elemental vibe listening to Fleet Foxes. the previous works have had a more earthy tone to them, but this album has a watery feel to it. really love the occurring theme of being on "the other ocean" heard throughout the album.

[@ClueFinderDirtDigger]

yes!

[@mon_roi_]

Its a magical theory u know.. Just imagine if they make albums with themes like earth, water etc..

[@ashikana21]

Cleansing, purifying, powerful 🙆

[@yxt8948]

@Christopher Norris shore gave me more of an air theme tho

[@jacobflematti3325]

Seems like most people didn't listen pat the first half of this song. Not that the beginning is even bad, but compared to the second half, it's hard to compare anything to that. Whole album is underrated though. First time I heard it, after comparing to their first two albums, it was so unapproachable, and didn't sound right. I had expected something different. But after listening to it earnestly, and truly listening to the music and lyrics, it quickly became my favorite album of all time. Amazing concept and so brilliantly executed. I wish it got the praise it deserves.

[@willhennessy6842]

nicely said. and agreed.

[@raynesperyll4873]

That is exactly how I feel about this album. While I wasn't ready for it immediately, I think it stands out as their best work by far!

[@alexs5394]

It was just such a shock to hear a fleet foxes album that wasn't immediately catchy. Looking back now I can really appreciate it though. It's probably my least favorite FF release, but even their worst record is still good

[@felixking9151]

This sums it up so perfectly!!!

[@katiestewart8433]

When I listen to this song with my headphones on I feel like I’m in another fucking universe where NOTHING matters except for me and his voice and the sound of each instrument.

[@beverlyhayshouston2770]

I can’t stop listening to the second half of this song.

[@lestersmith493]

ME TOO ITS LIKE MAGICAL

[@rfgator22]

This is the first song on the album that's gotten stuck in my head. Eventually they all will, but this was the first.

[@ErickRodriguez-oo6wb]

Ditto

[@aithjawcraig9876]

TOOOOOO YOUNG TooooOOOOOOOOOooooo

[@modthings7855]

[@alisonkoch748]

I cannot stop listening to this song. So beautiful. By the 2:07 mark....HOLY....WOW. Words cannot describe. Fleet Foxes has done it again!

[@Hezigrimm]

Alison Koch Oh, my. Last time I was hit like that was probably when I started listening to Pink Floyd. Jeez, man that was just... God.

[@mon_roi_]

I felt it.. What a enjoyable thing

[@CharlieKnottFilms]

The start of this song is a path down a forest trail. As the listener comes out from the thickets, weary and yearning, they stop at the edge of a cliffside overlooking a truthful ocean. So peaceful.

[@SteIIaPolaris]

CharlieKnottFilms Yes! That's exactly how this feels!

[@aithjawcraig9876]

The lyrics are kind of ambiguous but it does paint a vivid mental picture. Extremely emotionally charged. Missed connections, a lost love.

[@baaaanshee]

Walking in my city at morning, I live in Venezuela, closer by the caribean seas, the tangible water and it's only another ocean but it's mine, and listening to this song today looking at the sea, and my internal ocean is claiming a prayer for my country and my soul, this songs helped me, always understanding about the magic of the music and life in every song of FF.

[@kevinleon8605]

Is there any food in Venezuela

[@kirbcutscals]

such a slept on song from this album. It's progression is flawless

[@0412lennon]

I pity the fool that don't appreciate Fleet Foxes in all their magical glory

[@blekiize]

Amen!

[@corsomagenta]

In that case I'm sure Mr. T is a huge FF fan

[@drabnerd]

Guatemalan here and I agree!

[@ecoRfan]

Greatest modern example of a song that changes in the middle and hits so hard. I had listened to this album before and not known where that earworm hit, until I paid attention to note that it was in this particular track.

[@thatoneravenclaw7001]

every single one of Fleet Foxes' songs is amazing :D its not often you find bands/singers like that anymore

[@dangordon324]

That transition in to the June half of the song blows my mind!

[@hagharris7030]

2nd part is stunning, very moving, live it must be incredible

[@youngdylan5083]

I love the fleet foxes. Loved the direction they took with this album. Just brilliant.

[@liammckenna1479]

My friends, I too share your heartfelt emotion for these guys. The first concert I ever chose to go to in my whole life was a Fleet Foxes concert in Columbia, Maryland on September 23rd 2011. I will never forget that day.

[@lis350]

Beautifully written and constructed, absolutely seamless.

[@jhart7304]

Can you imagine seeing this live while a soft mist falls down amongst a rocky hillside surrounded by many many like-minded individuals? While the town below you glistens in the the fog? If they ever return to Red Rocks, be there.

[@meriyudini]

Biding your time on the other ocean Falling into line in the cold and damp Wherever you run, you see all you leave behind you Lies inside Anyone you open on the other ocean On the other ocean, on the other ocean Was he not quite as you had conceived him? Did the color of the light hide the fight in the eye? Wherever you run, you see only eyes behind you Lies inside Anyone you open On the other ocean On the other ocean On the other ocean On the other ocean So, do you think the smoke, it won't enfold you? Or there'll be someone waiting for you? Off in the distance, then? If only anything could change you If only you knew what you claim to If only every sign you cling to If only they were so Tune any eye into the ivy And I won't bleed out if I know me All I need oh don't deny me You ended up too strained Oh, I would lead it in the morning Oh I won't even if I know it All I need oh don't deny me We're in the eye sometimes Too young, too Too young, too love u

[@Ajbolt89]

Hey, thanks for posting these lyrics. I’ve referenced your post maybe five times now and I think I have the lyrics down.

[@danash2510]

@@Ajbolt89 excuse me, can you please tell me what "Allliiiineedd" means? I'm asking because I serched the official lyrics up (their album Booklet) and it's not 'All I need' - which is what I hear - and instead are these bunch of letters together that COULD make sense but it doesnt' for me. Sorry, I'm not american or english native, I'm just trying to understand fully.

[@lilacheaven222]

@@danash2510 "Allliiiineedd" is just "All I need", just written as it should be sung.

[@jahlijah]

I think he says June at the end, not Too young. He just says it in a weird way

[@danash2510]

@@lilacheaven222 Thank you very much, can you help me understanding this part of the lyrics? According to their booklet, it's "turn any eye into the ivy" not "tune". With that in mind, he is saying that all he needs is to his eyes be turned into the ivy, and he's asking the person to not deny him this feat. Then, he says that he would lead this process of "turning into" in the morning, but then here's the part I don't get. "Oh won't even if I know it" He just said he would lead it, but then says he won't (specially after when he repeats that it's all he needs and asks to not be denied)? And what does "know" refers to? He won't do this to himself even if he knew HOW to do it? That's the only sentence that is intriguing me. Reminder: I'm not a native speaker.

[@MariaBeatriz-if3ne]

This song is soooooo good, what a great discovery 👏 👌 ❤

[@mj-gb6tr]

I'll put my hands up and say I found this record very hard to get into. Then I realised it's not the same as FF and HB. It should be approached without any preconceptions or expectations. Sure, HB hints at this new direction in parts, but Crack-Up takes real work and investment unlike the former, rewarding you with every listen. It's also very much a 'headphones' record. I had it on in the car and missed so much. Hearing it live also really helped me to grasp the craft of it. Amazing.

[@SluggerNugget]

I agree so much with the headphones sentiment. The whole piece sounds so much clearer and rich. I also found it helpful to not really listen to much Foxes for like 6 months and then I started listening to Crack-Up a whole lot and it totally hit different.
