I always imaged a mountain when I listen to their music. Some people say this is an underwhelming track, I honestly feel the opposite. Overwhelming to be exact, the same way I felt about "Someone you'd admire" from the Helplessness blues record. I'll be listening to this music for the rest of my life
I can't help but cry listening to this song. It reminds me of my cat. My cat passed away yesterday after a week fighting for her life in the vet clinic after eating poison. Her liver was in such bad condition that we had to opt for euthanasia. She was not even 4 years old. I love her so much and it's somehow weird how a little cat could have such huge impact on me. I can perfectly remember the day I got her. My best friend Samantha called me saying she had a gift for me, so I went to the train station to meet her. She came out holding a cardboard box of shoes on her hands, which she handed me... I opened it and there she was, my beautiful baby cat, with those unforgettable sky-blue eyes who begged for love and I remember I almost immediately cried. I got home and cleaned her all up, killed all the fleas she had and we both fell asleep, with me holding her carefully in my chest. I named her Sammy. You see, for me this cat was and will always be metaphor and symbol for many things. I am so glad we could share these nearly 4 years of her existence together. Truth is life without her will be less colourful. After all, she was my companion during those late night cigarettes, contemplating the stars in the sky. I'll miss her sweet look full of love, asking for being petted. I'll miss her on that chair where I put my clothes, sleeping in that cute and funny position I loved. When I said goodbye to her yesterday, not a single world could come out of my mouth But I think she knew what I wanted to say. I was just there, petting her, she was purring and we were looking at each other's eyes intensely while tears rolled down my face. I can tell in that moment we were thanking each other for sharing these 4 years of existence together. Why do we take everything for granted? I wish this was a nightmare and that tomorrow morning I'll wake up with the warmth of her body next to my feet on my bed. I just hope I was the owner she needed, I hope I gave her a good pet life and I hope she felt loved. Because I truly loved that little girl so much. My Sammy, you'll always be in my heart, and I'll always love you, my beautiful pussycat...
Reminds me of my Cat Jazz, our dog chased her up a tree onto the roof and her femur broke. I had to collect her with the ladder and knew it was bad. Had to put her down the next day because it was either amputation or euthanize. We had to euthanize because her bone was riddled with cancer and it would of spread regardless so it was hard. Also it was during Covid so I couldnt Even be in the room with my first ever cat. But she was out down with my sister so present. I still cry and that was 4 years ago.
There's so much emotion in this song, it's making my chest heavy with feelings I can't name and memories I can't quite remember. It's simple and beautiful 💜
I don't know what to say, it's unbelievable how every each one of FF song can triggers so much feeling, thanks for sharing ur beauty man, forever grateful for ur existence
Fleet Foxes best songs are timeless and sound like they could have been written in another time and place. I'm so glad that were able to evolve while maintaining that unique sound.
How could it all fall in one day? Were we too sure of the sun? If you need to, keep time on me If you need to, keep time on me Who knows what state is in store? If they all turn, will you run? If you need to, keep time on me If you need to, keep time on me When I need to, I'll keep time on you Wide oceans roar A frightened fool stokes heatless fire But if you need to, keep time on me If you need to, keep time on me How could it all fall in one day? Were we too sure of the sun? If you need to, keep time on me
My friends and I did a 6 day trek to Maccu Piccu unguided on the Salkantay Trail in Peru, on the third day we all sat down in a green field and had lunch with the final ascent in sight, someone set up an ipod (it was a simpler time then) with speakers and we listened to the helplessness blues album, ate what snacks we had as we gazed at the snow capped mountain looming above us, it seemed like it was written especially for the occasion. Thanks, fleetfoxes!
“Memory is a funny thing. When I was in the scene, I hardly paid it any mind. I never stopped to think of it as something that would make a lasting impression, certainly never imagined that eighteen years later I would recall it in such detail. I didn't give a damn about the scenery that day. I was thinking about myself. I was thinking about the beautiful girl walking next to me. I was thinking about the two of us together, and then about myself again. It was the age, that time of life when every sight, every feeling, every thought came back, like a boomerang, to me. And worse, I was in love. Love with complications. The scenery was the last thing on my mind.”
Norwegian Wood, I just finished reading it, a beautiful story with many lessons for those who read it, especially anyone struggling in young adulthood/college. Thanks for the quote, I'll think of it when I listen to this song.
Ohhhhh! This song is beautiful, "The girl in the mirror" brought me here!...💔💓💗💖😎😘 This song makes me think of my late boyfriend of 19 years, he passed away almost 4 years ago... Getting over his passing has felt like a rebirth, a painful awakening.... RIP DGW,, gone but never forgotten!...💖
I kind of interpret this literally. I have so many memories and emotional connections tied up with fleet foxes songs throughout the years, and for me it's a way to keep time and look back to reflect. So thanks Robin for letting me keep time through your music!
The problem with finding Fleet Foxes is that it raises your standards for what music can be...to the extent that all other music pales by comparison. You guys are amazing! Thank you for sharing your art🥰
I honestly think Crack Up is the best work this song cycle just flows so good and seamlessly it feels so good to experience every time I listen to this album. It feels like one big song to me
I found Helplessness Blues in the public library down at the end of our street. I thought,'This looks like some sort of a John Mayall quintet from the sixties that I must have over looked.' On the first listen I thought ' Nice. A kind of Midlake sound to it. So happy to have stumbled across a band that can write stuff of real substance. Real timeless sound that touches your spirit somehow. Hard to find among the plethora of pop noise we get these days.
Their music certainly hits home with me being that I originate from the Blue Ridge. That timeless rustic feel is carved in my DNA. From what I've heard their next and maybe album after that will be issued sooner than a six year wait. So young still this group their most advanced works are yet to come. Maybe they've brought a fresh progressiviesm to folk rock
I can't wait to see you in September. It will be the best birthday present in my 26 years, save the birth of my son...he's 3 and loves your music ♡♡♡ you'll always be my favorite band...
this album is a masterpiece. i have a chance to see them this month, but funds are dedicated to other obligations. i am so saddened to miss hearing this live. consolation: i am buying this album after i finish typing this.
I built a cabin to the first two Fleet Foxes albums. This will be my "relaxing at the cabin" album.
build me a cabin now pls
Russ Wood can I come live in your cabin?
Guess what, it's in your back yard!
Yeah, doy!
+Russ Wood Gee thanks, mister!
I always imaged a mountain when I listen to their music. Some people say this is an underwhelming track, I honestly feel the opposite. Overwhelming to be exact, the same way I felt about "Someone you'd admire" from the Helplessness blues record.
I'll be listening to this music for the rest of my life
Kyle Freeland I deffo felt the same about someone you'd admire..this sounds so atmospheric
Perfectly stated.
As soon as I read that, the two songs clicked instantly for me. Fuck, I love "Someone You'd Admire" so much.
Haley Andrew-Pels deffo..someone you'd admire and blue spotted tail are just unreal 😊
Haley Andrew-Pels plus this just completed it 😊
New song, old memories.
John V. Eisengrim could not have said it better.
it's killing me
You expressed how Fleet Foxes' songs feel like perfectly
I'm literally crying
epic
This is one of those songs I try to listen just once a month, so that every time I hear it I fall into grace again.
I can't help but cry listening to this song. It reminds me of my cat.

this is the only thing I care about right now. could not have come at a better time.
i was trying SO HARD to find this song, i did it with the "i need you" phrase and dude, the list was enless BUT FINALLY i did
Minimal as it may be, I have a feeling that this is the perfect midway song for the album: a calming breather to reset for the second act
I used to listen to this song on repeat 7 years ago. It has been very emotional and still, can’t believe 7 whole years has passed!
I don't know what to say, it's unbelievable how every each one of FF song can triggers so much feeling, thanks for sharing ur beauty man, forever grateful for ur existence
I see old firefighter friends trekking through the mountains when I hear Fleet Foxes. makes me smile
Volcanoes and fleet foxes, some of my favourite things together
These harmonies are so soothing
Fleet Foxes best songs are timeless and sound like they could have been written in another time and place. I'm so glad that were able to evolve while maintaining that unique sound.
How could it all fall in one day?
Were we too sure of the sun?
If you need to, keep time on me
If you need to, keep time on me
Who knows what state is in store?
If they all turn, will you run?
If you need to, keep time on me
If you need to, keep time on me
When I need to, I'll keep time on you
Wide oceans roar
A frightened fool stokes heatless fire
But if you need to, keep time on me
If you need to, keep time on me
How could it all fall in one day?
Were we too sure of the sun?
If you need to, keep time on me
love you bro
Beautiful, the melodies roll and flow like the mountains

Russell Bowden I had Fleet Foxes on loop while I was visiting Peru & Bolivia! Was just perfect! :))
DreamSquadHD The Appalachian vibe is strong enough to get this Bolivian approving of the natural vibe of scenery.

This is the most romantic album they've made. It's got such a sensual feel.
I'm so in love with each track that's been released. Literally in love with them.
Ohhhhh! This song is beautiful, "The girl in the mirror" brought me here!...💔💓💗💖😎😘
This song makes me think of my late boyfriend of 19 years, he passed away almost 4 years ago... Getting over his passing has felt like a rebirth, a painful awakening.... RIP DGW,, gone but never forgotten!...💖

Beautiful song... listening all the way from new delhi❤❤❤
Heard this performed live in Sydney a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely beautiful.
Robin you sweet beautiful man. You guys just keep bringin it. So very excited for this album.
10 years of fleet Foxes music, so thankful for this blessing.
robin pecknold is my religion.
I LOVE this song. Instantly one of my favorites. So glad Fleet Foxes are back and can't wait for Crack-Up
This song is so beautiful. Only complaint is I wish it was twice as long as I don't want it to end.
I started watching 911 Lone Star. The very first line, "how could it all fall in one day" got me here.
Transcending music, one song at a time. Thanks Robin Pecknold.
Such a beautiful song. I imagine a garden gathering of loved ones and family sitting together and listening to this.
The problem with finding Fleet Foxes is that it raises your standards for what music can be...to the extent that all other music pales by comparison. You guys are amazing! Thank you for sharing your art🥰
One of my favorites on the album. If not my favorite.
Robin’s voice is haunting, so powerful
I like hearing the band as a whole influence it's really nice.
I honestly think Crack Up is the best work this song cycle just flows so good and seamlessly it feels so good to experience every time I listen to this album. It feels like one big song to me
I’m here from 911 Lone Star ! Great song definitely going on my playlist !
I, too, came because of 911 Lone Star 👍
ditto
one of my favorite songs from the concert at the Crystal Ballroom! can't wait for the vinyl to show up on my doorstep ☺
I love how understated this one is. It moves a lot, but appears simplistic. And the twinkling pianos are AUGH, so niiiice.
After these tracks this is my most anticipated Album for quite some time.
Such a beautiful song, and easy to play along to on guitar.
such a beautiful song. the switching and borrowing of major and minor chords adds such an incredible depth as well
Beautiful harmonies! ❤️ Love it
The most beautiful song to welcome on a long anticipated rainy day in California
Robin c'est une Artiste extraordinaire
There's something so magical about this song.
1:32 "When I need to I'll keep time on you"
That part always reminds me of Innocent son.
I just really love this song
Each song you create honestly transports me to another place. Your music will never cease to amaze me
Beautiful, as always. ❤
this is the most beautiful song i've ever heard
Wonderful, as aways! I missed you in these last years :') ❤
Thank you "girl in the mirror" - not sure if I will continue to watch but it brought me to this ten minutes in 👌.

Can't wait to see FF in Reno in September!! Outstanding as always!
Just ascended to another state of mind while listening to this for like half an hour lmao
I seriously cannot wait for this new album
A little three and a half minute gem.
Chill In The Summer day 😍😍
My favorite type of Fleet Foxes
This makes life so much better.
The most simple but anthemic track on the album
Beautiful song.
Feels like could just walk for miles going on a journey listening to this song.
I saw this and my heart stopped 😂 your music is so wonderful and I love it. Keep it up.
So ready for Friday. I'm not going to listen to the album as a whole until my record comes in.
Been my favourite band since I first heard them back in 08
utterly beautiful.
So minimal yet so fulfilling.
Great band!
Beautiful song for days.
This is my Favourite of the new stuff by far
This is like my favourite music
Cant wait for the release! Montana was amazing.
A voz do Robin é de matar, amo demais!
