If you leave me
Leave me guessing darling
Then I guess you’re not for me
When you’re talking
Talking to an old friend
And you decide you must be free
Tell me why why woman
Can’t we leave a good thing be
Tell me why why woman
Did you give up so easily
When you’re looking
Looking for some heat now
But I’m as cold as cold can be
And you’re talking
Talking ’bout a change now
But those changes aren’t with me
Tell me why why woman
Can’t we just leave a good thing be
Tell me why why woman
Can’t we just be happy
Tell me why why woman
Can’t we just leave a good thing be
Tell me why why woman
Won’t you stick around
And work it out with me?
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
