We watch them go about their mundane daily lives, dissecting their every move and debating them like they’re some kind of global phenomenon, when in reality, they aren't much different from us.
Is there just this deep-seated voyeuristic urge in all of us? Maybe we need to see other people struggle with their own flaws just to feel a little less alone in our own mess. Does watching someone else navigate their drama actually make us more resilient, or is it just a convenient way to escape our own lives?
To me, those seem like the only logical explanations—though, of course, the media plays a massive role in fueling this by exploiting our psychological weaknesses.
Voyeurism is a pretty simple answer, and if you ask me, it's the right one.

Truth is, all we're gonna get is a few hundred dead folks at the celebration.

Your ass IT draws me in like a bermude highway don't In that case, the whole thing is being taken completely out of context. If you ask me, it’s more like a critique of unearned fame. But hey, you guys can be the judge of that. Jim James forever kiss pozz 🙂
It’s very easily possible. A lot of their tracks are written so cryptically that people end up interpreting them in a million different ways.
Does anyone actually get what's going on with The Bear? Personally, I’m leaning towards it being some kind of internal struggle with guilt or something. And what about AT Dawn? Anyone have a take?
Honestly, I’m still not sure if people actually get the vibe of Where to Begin. It’s easily one of their best tracks, and the weirdest part is that it isn't even on an official album. Just a total outlier.
PS
Taylor Patel2 and Harold Wright54, I honestly can't make heads or tails of what you guys are posting. Can we get some actual words instead of just a constant stream of pictures?
Alright, I figured I’d kick off this thread since there isn't an official Fleet Foxes discussion going on—just that one specific post about their show in New York City.
For anyone who hasn't stumbled upon them yet, this band is basically this wild, incredible blend of 60s and 70s American rock (you can really hear that heavy Neil Young and later Bob Dylan influence), mixed with country and some straight-up hard rock. They've got cult status here in the States, and honestly, their talent is being rewarded lately with two shows opening up for Bob Dylan.
So, fans, step up. Let me know what you think, your go-to tracks, whatever.
As for me, these are the ones that hit home:
Summer Jam - basically an anthem about using music to bail out of some dead-end town.
from this town, we'd escape
if we holler loud & make our way
we'd all live one big holiday
Gideon - such a biting, ironic jab at the church and those religious fanatics who try too hard to control the youth.
Gideon, what have you told us at all?
Make a sound, come down off the wall.
Religion - should appeal to The Hearts of The Young Who ara you
Who are you? What have you become?
Bermuda Highway - hands down one of the best love songs ever written; it's all about accepting someone exactly as they are.
Your ass IT draws me in like a bermude highway don't
Don't carve me out
Don't let your silly dreams fall in between
