Cover art for White Winter Hymnal lyrics by Fleet Foxes

pecknold says in an interview with daytrotter that the lyrics to this song are "fairly meaningless", and that the song is more focused on the vocal harmonies instead of the lyrics...but this is so far my favorite song from a stellar album. i've listened to it twice a day since i bought it

in my opinion i believe that there are no such thing as meaningless lyrics. I'm pretty sure it's about a war, most likely british.

Not Valid

im with you ^^^^ cause the hymnal is when people would cut other peoples heads off and thats what the song is talking about

Not Valid

@sun_giant It has metaphor and images from the French Revolution, beheading of the aristocracy at the neck in winter, and such....
