Near/Far
from Thank You for Today by Death Cab for Cutie
lyrics
You flicker like a fluorescent light
An intermittent strobe in a lonely night
As I am standing by your side
Trying to breach this dark and deep divide
You’re here
So far away
So near
So far
I hear you talking to yourself
Cursing every card you wanted dealt
But I can’t help you play your hand
If you mistake every word for a command
You’re here
So far away
So near
So far away
You’re here
So far away
So near
So far
You flicker like a fluorescent light
An intermittent strobe in a lonely night
But I won’t watch you burning out
I won’t let you be the one I live without
An intermittent strobe in a lonely night
As I am standing by your side
Trying to breach this dark and deep divide
You’re here
So far away
So near
So far
I hear you talking to yourself
Cursing every card you wanted dealt
But I can’t help you play your hand
If you mistake every word for a command
You’re here
So far away
So near
So far away
You’re here
So far away
So near
So far
You flicker like a fluorescent light
An intermittent strobe in a lonely night
But I won’t watch you burning out
I won’t let you be the one I live without

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.
