lyrics

I was in the wind with the wind in me / waving from the crown of an old dead tree / staring at the lake staring back at me / see the whole world start to turn

I was in the rain with the rain in me / falling from a cloud I could barely see / staring at the fog staring back at me / see the colours start to run

Oooh, turn again

I was in the waves with the waves in me / floating on the top of a rolling sea /
staring at the sky staring back at me / and we swallow up the sun

Oooh, turn again

Wind come in, come on (tell them i’m coming), / as the blossom falls (tell them I’m coming), / as the breathing moss (tell them I’m coming), / gently covers walls (tell them i’m coming)

I was in the woods with the falling trees, / leaves were in the air that was breathing me; / breathing in the air now my body takes leave / as we turn turn turn again

Oooh (again)

Wind come in, come on (tell them I’m coming), / as the body falls (tell them I’m coming), / as the breathing moss (tell them I’m coming), / gently covers walls, tell them I’m … Wind…

Tell them I’m… Wind

Wind

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
