The lone cover song on the album, written by our good friend, and one of the finest living songwriters, Nathan Moore. It features Sarah on guitar, who wrote and played one of the most angular riffs in electric guitar history. Legend has it, Andrew's one and only drum take lasted an hour and a half, with him continuing to play long after the song was over and the engineer went to bed. This is the only song by The Barr Brothers where Brad doesn't play guitar. - Brad Barr

---Lyrics---
I wish I knew the magic words
To dry up all our tears
I wish I had a magic wand
To make our troubles disappear
But I don't know no magic words
And I don't have a magic wand
But here's my empty hand, my dear
Hold on, hold on, hold on
When I woke up this morning
The dream was on my mind
Beside me was a cigarette
Floating in a glass of wine
So I picked up my guitar
Started strumming out of time
Couldn't find a reason
I could only find a rhyme
Maybe someday, maybe someday
Maybe someday, maybe someday soon
I won't be this far away
I won't be the man in the moon
I know just what you would say
If you heard me sing this tune
Singing someday, maybe someday
Singing someday, maybe someday soon
Singing someday, maybe someday soon
Someday maybe someday soon
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

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
