It was something of an afterthought
It was something sort of unprecedented
I saw the same shit, like it or not
I saw the hemisphere, I didn’t invent it
It was something of a reinvention
You took my breath away, Itook my time
Let’s keep it simple, give me absolution
Let’s take walk in the circle of light
Chorus:
We step in the light
The rise of the tide
My love is a wave
You got me caught in a landslide
There’s nowhere to run
There’s nowhere to hide
My love is a wave
You got me caught in a landslide
It was something of a second chance
It was something of a phantom synapsis
Now everything is slipping out of my hands
You get me out of this and I’ll give you access
At the risk of sounding like a Confucian
I’m gonna take it one day at a time
Let’s keep it simple, give me absolution
Let’s take walk in the circle of light
Chorus...

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
As I listen to this album more and more I start discover aspects that I hadn't felt before. My love for every individual track continues to grow, but Change has remained in my heart as a deep drive to get me through the day. seonghi
Stark, folk-derived songs built on brittle acoustic guitars that conjure the image of a fire burning in the distance on a dark night. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 8, 2022
My god, what an absolutely incredible Suite. I'll admit, I've struggled to get into Pharoah Sanders due to diving headfirst into some of his most challenging catalogue and that never worked. This is the perfect place to restart. Floating Points is new for me and I can honestly say I've never heard synthesizer music this lush and organic before. the LSO is just perfect. This is one of those albums that any serious music fan needs in their life. The perfect swan song for the great Pharaoh! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob
