| Fleet Foxes – The Shrine/An Argument Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I'm generally not that good at interpreting songs, but this one is *I Think* fairly obvious. It seems to be about a relationship, especially apparent in the end of the song, that broke apart. He still misses her, thinks of her, makes wishes on pennies about her.. Seems like the apples are something they shared together, or maybe it is a symbol for something else, perhaps just a summer love. Either way, I do love this song and I love Fleet Foxes. They are brilliant! Only problem I have with this song is the transition when Robin is singing his heart out "sunlight over me no matter what I do" and then transitions to "apples in the summer, all cold and sweet" (which I thought was 'ARE cold and sweet', but it doesn't matter)... the transition is weird and it tends to bother me. I think he could have bellied out another line with that sexy, scratchy voice.. but instead it kind of weakens and goes to something light and airy. Either way, the end part "In the morning waking up to terrible sunlight..." soo wonderful.. "when you talk you hardly even look in my eyes" I love it! | |
