There’s a naked kind of silence where there used to be a sound
There are shadows in the corners where you used to be around
Under the weathered China hutch, upon the heated floor
It’s a little bit more quiet when I’m walking through the door
And a phantom limb will follow you in the middle of the night
And the markings on the windows call your memory into mind
Is our purpose all the same, to keep each other company?
Will our days be so defined by all the empty space we leave?
I hope the sunlight covers you wherever you may be
And no strangers there will bother you, I hope you will be free
Under the orange maple tree, across the great beyond
Rest easy and in peace, my friend, from home to kingdom come
Rest easy and in peace, my friend, from home to kingdom come
Thanks for the mornings
And thanks for the nights
Thank you for letting me take care of you
Thank you for letting me take care of you
Thank you for letting me take care of you

Meet me in the country house
Where the mountains open up
And the sun will hang so high above
In the town I love
Nestled in the morning fog
In translucent paper walls
In the hills where persimmons grow in fall
When I come to call
Hidakamura
When I’m tired of trying
To hold my place in line
When I lose my self between two worlds I find
That I think of you
And I know it’s true
Here’s where I belong
Only in the quiet hours
Of the land where I was born
All my memories always linger on
In my mother’s arms
In my mother’s arms
Hidakamura

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.
