What this album portrays is beautiful. A milleniul discovering nature sereneness and solitude the eyes of the observer are clearly seen richness in the beauty in modern times the first album took me back to long ago peasant times wish was very nostalgic as in feeling like past lives it was completely outside of the music we hear nowadays but this is simply best felt not described glad theyre still making music they have an energy like noone else :)
a million thanks to this music that helped me survive darker times and get a chance to feel hopeful again. whoever you are, reading this right now, i know you're hurting, but it can and will be better some day. it's so hard to find the energy to grow, but you can do it. some day, despair will be as unfamiliar to you as hope seems to be right now
There is something mystical about this year. 2023. I'm glad to be a Fleet Foxes fan, and on my journey to self-discovery and realization. May peace be with all of you, and good tidings be bountiful! 😊🙏💙
Been struggling with my mental health...randomly clicked on this this morning and it’s been on loop ever since. This album is giving me a sense of peace
I'm British and 'Warm American Water with dear friends' just speaks to me. Maybe its the absolutely abysmal weather we endure all year round in the UK but man I want me some of those warm American waters!
Not to be that guy to go into detail but. Fleet Foxes saved my life. Not necessarily one song or album but the entirety of the Fleet Fox has brought meaning to my soul i cant exactly express. Thank you immensely for everything Fleet Foxes. I genuinely love you all.
I feel exactly the same. No joke. This brought a tear to my eye. Honestly, I can't quite express what they mean to me. I'm so grateful for their existence. Hope you're doing well, friend.
I remember like yesterday how they shared this album in youtube live launch. Fleet foxes helped a lot many of us to though pandemic mess. Thank you robin, thank you fleet foxes.
Oh my gosh, hearing "Can I Believe You" was emotionally overwhelming remembering that a year ago Robin was asking his Instagram followers to send him like 100 vocal harmony tracks, and back then it was like, "damn what is this song going to sound like when it's all done" and then finally hearing it now... hit me hard. Pure bliss.
@@macaroon147 I wish! I've been kicking myself for not sending him a vocal track, since it seems like he used everything that was sent to him. He said in an interview it was over 400 tracks 😳
I love this album so much. Love everything about it including the video that goes perfectly with the songs. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you Fleet Foxes for everything you have blessed us with.
Just for "I'm Not My Season" alone the guy should be knighted, he's not even from my country but we should fly him over and knight him anyway for such a sublime gift.
The albums I have loved in my life always have had the same evolution: First listen: "eh..ok, i guess" second: "Hmm...there's a few good songs on here", third: "wow, this is actually really good", then "this is a freaking masterpiece, how did I exist before this record".
okay so in Middle school I was the typical 14-year-old girl who thought she was emo and was riddled with anxiety. I was in a pretty toxic friendship and had a rough time figuring out who I was. I remember listening to twenty-one pilots (nothing against them) and being super "pick me" ish. It wasn't until my junior year I started mellowing out and softening the fake edges I had crafted. At that time I discovered Fleet Foxes and practically fell in love with them. Then I met my bf and we have been together for almost 2 years (known each other for nearly 4 now). In comparison to who I was so long ago and now, I have never felt more free. This album came out in the middle of my relationship with my bf and it reminded me how much I developed and grew to love life. I imagine myself in middle school as this uptight rose stem, but without the flower, just all thorns. Now I feel like I grew into an easy-going succulent that is soft to the touch and displays an array of colors Edit: I'm married now and we played Fleet Foxes on our wedding day
this. i know someone who has constructed those fake edges. and needs to be freed from the toxic nature of hating it all...this music and other like it, can free the soul..
Usually there’s at least one average song on any album. Not a one on this mellow album. Each song begins with great hooks. I can only congratulate F/F. Aberdeen Scotland.
My girlfriend and i drove around listening to this new album together. Moments like this make me grateful to have someone special to share new things with. (During this dark & gloomy year.) Make sure you take time to enjoy the positive moments in this year full of negativity. Thank you Fleet Foxes.
You are very fortunate @Josh Henning. I lost my beloved 6 yrs ago to cancer. We enjoyed our music together so much! Concerts, and home at night listening to cds or watching dvd videos from our collection. Just hanging out enjoying each other, sharing a cold beer and goofin off with our female Rottweiler. You will always have the memories of you and your lover and the music you shared.
I broke up with my gf in December, right after my birthday, and yeah, my heart was broken, but by the time Corona struck in Europe, I was already going down a path of self-discovery and the lockdown reassured I wouldn't stray. It's been a wonderful year so far when it comes to discovering myself and my pitfalls when it comes to love, also greatly thanks to Fleet Foxes. I learned alot from Robin's experiences and his courage/talent to share it with an audience. Made me remember why I loved this band in the first place, and this new album's timing is so great, as I'm getting ready to let go of these old cycles that keep me in place. I truly want to surrender control when it comes to love, and this album is so different, my initial reaction is to break it down, just like I would in a relationship if I were to lose control, whenever things suddenly became unpredictable. There's a great lesson here for me and I will respect it. I will surrender, even if that means I become a castaway of my own island.
I cry because this is a masterpiece...they take me away from this crazy world for a little bit. I feel peace when I listen to fleet foxes. This is what happiness sounds and feels like.
@@leeporwoll2380 Hell yeah. I also wish the world were a Fleet Foxes comments section... The amount of musical catharsis and appreciation expressed here is giving me hope for next year.
the first time I heard of Fleet Foxes was back in 2015. I was at a festival when a local band began to performed (covered) Mykonos live. I was blown away by how great the song was! I looked Mykonos up, started to know about fleet foxes then boom here I am now, feeling so blessed to be able to hear amazing songs from you guys!! I'm very excited for Joyland Festival in Jakarta because it will be the first time I got to see Fleet Foxes live!
Devastatingly beautiful. This album makes me nostalgic for a memory that I cannot exactly remember, something beyond me, something that is deeper than my own history and experience. It connects me to the human soul and makes me cry for it.
I love how accessible Fleet Foxes make their music. A separate lyric video for each song and a full length album film. It’s always been so clear they’re here for the music and nothing less, nothing more. All of my respect ❤️
This is how serious music is presented. We should all take note and TAKE TIME to make things beautiful. Many of us are rushing our lives and our projects for no reason. Congrats on a fantastic album, Fleet Foxes, and a gorgeous film, Kersti Jan Werdal.
FLEET FOXES is a band that never dissapoints in my opinion,there are better songs than others, but i always find something that i like that they do in just about every song..
I’ve have been put in the direction of this album by a friend, it doesn’t disappoint. Fabulous music in all respects, lyrics harmonies melodic vocals etc, I can feel 70,s to 90,s influences,though most of all, I hear absolute quality gold sound that floats around my mind & soul. Beautiful. 💙
A beautiful thematic and atmospheric album with a light touch on the production side, yet innovative use of vocalists, instrumentation, and horns. I literally have not been able to stop listening to it since I discovered it. And of course, there is Robin - a stunning vocalist who transports me to a higher level!
Was cycling over the Manhattan bridge and the sun rays were beaming through the gates etc, and I was like I gotta stop and put some good ole FF and then boom shore shows up!!!!
I was greeted by a man who said his name was Robin. He was holding a guitar, which told me he was a professional musician. He informed me that he had a new album out called Shore. I was impressed by his professionalism, so I decided to listen. Wonder if I will see this man again, so I can thank him for his professionalism.
This album saved my life in 2020, and has been played as a soundtrack to my life each day ever since. I can’t believe it has been nearly a year since this beautiful balm for the soul was gifted to us. Thank you Robin Pecknold.
The past two years have been such a harrowing time for me, I only learned about their album, new to me, but a year old now. I had no idea this had happened. I'm crying right now. Your music, your words, all that you've done has meant a great deal to me, ever since I sat alone, stranded and abandoned, almost 10 years ago now, lost and low in the back corner of a coffee shop, when over their speakers. I heard meadowlark for the first time. I cried then, as I'm crying now, but instead of sadness being the source this time, it's joy. Thank you for being a light in the darkness. Maybe I'll get back into performing music again one day. You guys are the only ones who make me miss it. Bless you.
I really hope you are doing much better maybe even back into music. I just got introduced to these guys the beginning of this year. It has been a much needed part of my journey and has been enlightening experience. I have been struggling for probably the last five years now. But music in general has been an incredible source for me anyways. But then I was blessed too be shown these guys and they spoke to me and have helped me to begin to stand again. Much hope peace and love and many blessings for you and yours.
I can’t believe that I’ve been listening to this album for MONTHS and didn’t find this until today. This is one of my favorite albums ever, period. Some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard. And now I get visuals 💛 love u guys FF
Wow wow wow. This has brought me to tears, I swear to god they dropped this album at a moment that my soul really needed it. Their music is so healing. Makes me dive into this world of magic, joy, and good vibes. Thank you Fleet Foxes for bringing us some light in these dark times
@@honestexpression6393 yes the last album crack-up was 3 years ago but that is a short break the wait between helplessness blues and crack-up was nearly 6 years
Been a whole year now. Didn't always think I'd make it, especially the week this album dropped. I've healed so much and changed so much while listening to this album. I love all Fleet Foxes, but this album in particular is an unparalleled masterpiece. I don't know if any other album has meant quite what this album means to me. Please, please, listen to this.
wow thanks for this free therapy guys. lots of wonder and beauty here. lots of heart- and soul-ache to soothe this year. (& looking forward to the physical release 2/5/2021)
Distinctive unmistakable sound. What an immense work of art. This album goes deep. We need music like this. Music for the soul. Thankyou so much. What a gift!
Shore - counterpoint to all that is ugly in the world...this is grace in the face of disgrace...a beautiful triumph...fundamental and transcendent, whole...thank you Robin, you are so valuable to us
Listen I’ve always loved and admired this band to the upmost degree. Every album has been like a greatest hits. Truly every album. And somehow. They just keep getting better. With every passing album
THANK YOU for giving us something to actually celebrate in this dumpster fire that is 2020. In a time when positivism is in desperate need, you Fleet Foxes have delivered. Bravo!
@@Hyphaen Yeppers. Picked that one up last week and have been enjoying it's mis-mash mix of drug ballads and thoughts on mortality. Fist bump. STAY well ECR. We'll get through this. We have music as our weapon for hope.
Geeky Matt138 Yh def, best they’ve done since their 24hr song imo, great balance of weirdness and emotional potency. Am liking Shore so far, and loving the title track, but preferring Helplessness Blues and Crack Up atm. Will see how I feel abt ut after I’ve read all the lyrics and understood the album better. Wishing gd health on u too👍
Only gonna get worse financially we be living like world war 2 slaves soon you better save your sorry arse before it's to late pecknold ain't gonna wipe it for you mate
A estrada no Sol no começo de tudo e as nuvens que agora se afastam mostrando um caminho que está sempre lá e que a qualquer lado que a gente quiser caminhar The road in the Sun in the beggining of everyhing and the clouds that now go away showing a way that is always there and at the side of any pathway We desire to walk on
Increíble estos sonidos y letras, me transportan al bosque, mar y montañas al mismo tiempo. Sus canciones se sienten como la primavera, verano y otoño, sensaciones como el sonido del viento, brisa, aromas a madera, tierra mojada, miel y a rocío que cae en las mañanas (las personas con sinestesia me entenderán)✨ Tuve la suerte de descubrir a esta gran banda en el 2010 y desde ahí me han acompañado con su magia. El mejor descubrimiento y una de mis bandas favoritas. Los amo chicos!! gracias infinitas por su música!! 🌱🍃⭐️⭐️
I'm an old guy stuck in the 80s. Only found out about this band today because of Twitter and started listening. This is very impressive. I definitely get some Asia vibes, especially in the harmonizing. Gonna have to check out all their albums now.
I LOVE IT AND THANK U FOR ORGANIZING A CONCERT IN MY COUNTRY DIFFERENT Place but me and my dad are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited I’m crying ur so talented GOD BLOODY BLESS UUUUUUUUUU 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🇨🇮🇺🇸 JESUS MY WHOLE FAMILY APART FROM MY SISTER AND MOM LOVES U THAT LIKE 20 people like my grandad granny anti UNCLE EVERYONE LOVE U WISH U WERE A PART OF MY FAMILY Maybe then I will have a chance to be a musician lol I LITERALLY CANT STOP TYPING LOL LOVE U
My son bought this vinyl for me last spring. It's physically beautiful. So much thought went into that. It brought me to tears to open it. We have all been through so many things. My heart to yours, my favorite thing to do is disappear with beautiful music. I've been doing that long before now and it has not failed me yet. It will never fail you either, believe that... :)
I'm happy for your words I am grateful see them thank you. Music is such clarity helps me focus I am honored that others feel this as well may you have peace hope and love and abundant blessings for you and yours.
I can’t believe I finally get to see you again in a matter of months, after everything we’ve all been through. And this is the album?! I’m on the precipice of one of the most memorable nights of my life and I can’t wait.
listening to this album from the beginning back to the beginning is like finding my happy place from past days: with my Golden, sand at my feet, clear skies and water reaching shores and back outwards...it's music i will continuously reach out for when my mind/head needs uplifting...much gratitude Fleet Foxes!!
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for something simultaneously so dreamlike and real. I love the juxtaposition of the natural world and the concrete jungle in the imagery. I can't wait to feel what this means for me months from now when the layers finally sink in from repeated listens.
Foxes, thank you so much for this new jewel. This sounds majestic and simple at the same time, as usual. The complex sound texture is an inside back layer of an apparently simple and delicate musical structure. Listening to these songs is like observing a natural landscape through the fog. Now you grasp the details clearly, but soon after the fog covers them, and you try to keep the vision by imagining what is lost in that precise moment. Great work. I'll wait for the vinyl, I hope the recording/mastering will be good enough. I can't wait to see you soon here in Italy!
