lyrics

In the night
With voices low, low, low
And all the cars
Are off the road

That’s when heaven's nail and hammer
Starts nailing holes in the sky
I see heaven, heaven, heaven
Through the holes
I see heaven’s nail and hammer
Nailing holes in the sky
I see heaven, heaven, heaven
Through the holes

Now on with the show
I see Slow Down Jo
Who died long ago
I'm still down here with the old man Jo, Jo

We’ll see heaven’s nail and hammer
Nailing holes in the sky
We’ll see heaven, heaven, heaven
Through the holes
We’ll see heaven’s nail and hammer
Nailing holes in the sky
We’ll see heaven, heaven, heaven
Through the holes

Now when this show is through
You get a hard hat
Silver hammer and steel toe boots
And if you’re lucky, if you’re lucky you join
That heavenly crew
Look up there, little kid
Way up there, little kid
And see if I do

Join that heaven's nail and hammer
Nailing holes in the sky
Heaven, heaven, heaven
Through the holes
You’ll see heaven’s nail and hammer
Nailing holes in the sky
You’ll see heaven, heaven, heaven
Through the holes

Shore
by Fleet Foxes

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
