This one started out as a novel afterthought. It was always appreciated, though, for its protagonist's Zen-like conclusions. We were proud of being able to find space for the acoustic harp in one of our harder rocking tunes. This is the only song in our repertoire that steals a lyric directly out of Frank Zappa's catalogue. - Brad Barr

Thrown out of the company ball
Breaking bottles on the Berlin Wall
I been shaking all the bushes on the Champs Élysées
Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall
Then it came to me
Yeah it came to me
Then it came to me
It came to me
I was looking for your face
On a three dollar bill
Marking my bible in red
Drinking ripple with my daily bread
I been asking all the ladies in the March of Dimes
I should have been home instead
Cause it came to me
Yeah it came to me
It came to me
It came to me
I was looking for the nose
At the end of my face
I was wrong and I heard you right
I was wrong and I heard you right
I was wrong and I heard you right
I was wrong and I heard, yes I heard
Yes I heard it right
Tugging at the tiger's tail
Bobbing apples with the humpback whale
I been knocking all the jockeys off the rich folks lawns
Raising anchor and setting sail
Then it came to me
Yeah it came to me
It came to me
It came to me
I was looking for the truth
Til it kicked in my door
I was wrong and I heard you right
I was wrong and I heard you right
I was wrong and I heard you right
I was wrong and I heard you right
I was wrong and I heard you right
I was wrong and I heard you right
I was wrong and I heard you right
I was wrong and I heard, yes I heard
Yes I heard it right
Then it came to me
Yeah it came to me
It came to me
Oh, it came to me
Oh, it came to me
Oh, it came to me
Oh, it came to 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

Thin Lear's sophisticated rock music is tempered with soaring chamber pop accents and an undeniable gift for melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 30, 2020
I can sadly only choose between anything and dragon eyes for my favorite track, but then I realized it probably is anything. The rest of the album and its instrumental sister album are both amazing and imo her best release thus far. 9/10 angrypizza98
