Man In Blue
from The Blue EP by Death Cab for Cutie
lyrics
If you know my name
Why are you calling out
To an old love?
And when you need someone
Why do you always run
To your Lord up above?
I just want to understand you
I don’t need to be your man in blue
Are your days all the same?
Prayers like drops of rain
As you wait for the flood
To cleanse everyone
And can you hear my voice
In high lonesome rejoice
Sing a song for you
In and out of tune
I just want to understand you
I don’t need to be your man in blue
I just want you to see yourself the way I do
I don’t need to be your man in blue
Why are you calling out
To an old love?
And when you need someone
Why do you always run
To your Lord up above?
I just want to understand you
I don’t need to be your man in blue
Are your days all the same?
Prayers like drops of rain
As you wait for the flood
To cleanse everyone
And can you hear my voice
In high lonesome rejoice
Sing a song for you
In and out of tune
I just want to understand you
I don’t need to be your man in blue
I just want you to see yourself the way I do
I don’t need to be your man in blue

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.
