On the morning that you came
Would you wait for me? The other one ...

A decent song, but overoverplayed!  It's good, but not *that* good.  Could we have a vacation from it for a week or three?

Reminds me a fair amount of The Moody Blues...which might not be a good thing for many people. 

"Serf Music"—really? Painful chuckling follows

If only. . . No, they were one of the many bands at two different festivals; my friends were interested in seeing them so I tried to be a good sport. . .

Fleet Foxes' Robin Pecknold palylist: Folk Songs

"I started in high school with the big dogs: Dylan, Neil and Joni," says Pecknold, who went on to discover subgenres from Appalachian ballads to Australian work songs. "My favorite folk songs have melodies so amazing you don't even need a chorus."

1. "Mama, You Been on My Mind" | Bob Dylan, 1964
I would listen to this after breakups. He tries to seem nonchalant - but you can tell he gives a shit about the girl.
2. "Me and My Woman" | Roy Harper, 1971
He's a virtuosic guitarist. This song is on Stormcock, this great, densely layered folk opus.
3. "Where Is My Wild Rose?" | Chris Thompson, 1977
I love covering this. He plays simply, but with little licks to show he kicks ass at guitar.
4. "My Only Son" | Duncan Browne, 1973
I found Duncan on a folk blog. He's from a classical-guitar background, but he writes McCartney-esque melodies.
5. "Lord Bateman and the Turkish Lady" | John Jacob Niles, 1956
This is a ballad about a lord who travels to Turkey and ends up in prison. You listen just to hear what happens.
6. "The Humpback Whale" | Nic Jones, 1980
It's an Australian whaling song, kind of a travelogue of one season on the sea.
7. "Lady-O" | Judee Sill, 1971
She was a folk singer in California in the early 1970s who had this really unique style. Her lyrics are like a book of tarot cards, and her pitch is amazing.
8. "The End of the Rainbow" | Richard and Linda Thompson, 1973
The music is so well matched to the lyrics - it has these weird diminished chords, and the lyrics have creepy twists that match them in such a great way.
9. "If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song)" | Pete Seeger, 1956
It's the perfect poetic protest song, and broad enough that it can apply to almost anything. I love how it starts as wishful thinking and turns into full-on empowerment at the end. The Peter, Paul and Mary version has rad energy too.
10. "Parasite" | Nick Drake, 1972
A great example of how much you can do with a guitar and a voice. That whole Pink Moon record is pretty bleak. I would listen to him and Elliott Smith constantly in high school - I feel like they are kindred spirits.

My recommendation to you: pull your head out of your ass and read my previous posts where I explain that I've seen them live twice, listened to both CDs and still find FF to be unlistenable. . . just a suggestion. . .
