i can hear the road call
i can hear the road call out my name
a journey made mercy paved
an old refrain to light the way
i can see the north star
i can see the north star overhead
i can see the north star
i can see the north star from this bed
beneath the sky
the night betrayed
rescued by the milky way
summon out the rain clouds
someone's sure to hear how loud we'll sing
blinded by the notion of fog and air and ocean all around
oh, Monterey how can i say i’ll always stay then slip away?
i can show the world, ma
i can wake the world out from her sleep
i can show the world, ma
i don't fear the world from my two feet
a prayer to keep, to hide away
our love will reap the ash & clay of Monterey
oh, Monterey how can i say i’ll always stay then slip away?
Australian singer-songwriter explores self-examination, loneliness, and post-pandemic malaise through delicate, empathetic folk pop. Bandcamp New & Notable May 5, 2024
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
