60 & Punk
from Thank You for Today by Death Cab for Cutie
lyrics
There’s nothing funny about you slipping away
It’s nothing funny how you’re spending your days
But you’re laughing like a kid at a carnival
I watched you stumbling around this dusty town
I heard your bottle talking way too loud
As the Federales tried to hunt you down
For something you can’t remember what was about
The curtain falls to applause and the band plays you off
He’s a superhero growing bored with no one to save anymore
I used to watch you on the late night scene
The timely rescue of a metal teen
6 strings were strumming rhythm and lead
And that hadn’t occurred to me
When I met you I was 22
Trying so hard to play it cool
But there was so much that I needed to say
And nothing came out the right way
The curtain falls to applause and the band plays you off
He’s a superhero growing bored with no one to save anymore
There’s nothing elegant in being a drunk
It’s nothing righteous being 60 and a punk
But when you’re looking in mirror do you see
That kid that you used to be?
Broke and working in a record store
Daydreaming about the upcoming tour
Were you happier when you were poor?
It’s nothing funny how you’re spending your days
But you’re laughing like a kid at a carnival
I watched you stumbling around this dusty town
I heard your bottle talking way too loud
As the Federales tried to hunt you down
For something you can’t remember what was about
The curtain falls to applause and the band plays you off
He’s a superhero growing bored with no one to save anymore
I used to watch you on the late night scene
The timely rescue of a metal teen
6 strings were strumming rhythm and lead
And that hadn’t occurred to me
When I met you I was 22
Trying so hard to play it cool
But there was so much that I needed to say
And nothing came out the right way
The curtain falls to applause and the band plays you off
He’s a superhero growing bored with no one to save anymore
There’s nothing elegant in being a drunk
It’s nothing righteous being 60 and a punk
But when you’re looking in mirror do you see
That kid that you used to be?
Broke and working in a record store
Daydreaming about the upcoming tour
Were you happier when you were poor?

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.
