Third of May / Ōdaigahara by Fleet Foxes.
I’ve already mentioned Fleet Foxes here. I’ll probably do more than one song, but this was a good challenge for a Saturday afternoon. I do not have Robin Pecknold’s range, and layering on more voices singing it wrong doesn’t help.
This particular song doesn’t have a particular special meaning for me — not nearly as much as, say, Helplessness Blues, or even Blue Ridge Mountains, so we might have to get to those another day. But I do love the chords and parts of this one, even if I kinda muddle the ending. (And I don’t even attempt the other two minutes of the instrumental after the lyrics wind down.)
Aside from the obvious backup singing, there’s a little electric guitar track, and then software electric piano and flute to add some more low and high bits.
Robin’s notes are all over the Genius page for this song.
