Northern Lights
from Thank You for Today by Death Cab for Cutie
lyrics
I remember your silhouette on Dyes Inlet
Against the silver sheen of a moon like painted glass
Under stars out on the pier; a celestial sphere
We were weightless as the waves that disappeared
Northern lights filled our skies
Empty nights synchronized
We shared a clove cigarette on the parapet
As the T.V.’s glowed from the windows of the model homes
And I’d never be that close again to your lips and perfect skin
As the tide receded into the unknown
Northern lights filled our skies
Empty nights synchronized
Against the silver sheen of a moon like painted glass
Under stars out on the pier; a celestial sphere
We were weightless as the waves that disappeared
Northern lights filled our skies
Empty nights synchronized
We shared a clove cigarette on the parapet
As the T.V.’s glowed from the windows of the model homes
And I’d never be that close again to your lips and perfect skin
As the tide receded into the unknown
Northern lights filled our skies
Empty nights synchronized

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.
