the acapella song at the beginning is so amazing. and they're all just so perfectly in tune and blend so well. it takes a ton of talent to be a good solo singer AND blend well.

Please do not ever delete this video YT!!! I walked down the isle to the love of my life with this song playing in the first minute....most beautiful moment of my life!

Wow. this is a severe case of talent. Very few bands have the artistic ability to understand melody and create emotions and visuals with a song. Not only do they understand rythym and melody but they perform it extremely well.

lol, i could be wrong...but I love how Josh Tillman, Father John Misty, looks sooo bored when he joins in. I love his contribution to Fleet Foxes...I love Father John Misty even more!!! Cheers!!

Went on a trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains a few weeks ago with my friends. We listened to Fleet Foxes during the whole drive through the mountains.

Man, when I look at my life, I realize how far away this is. I love this song. Along with Steve Miller Band (not staying that they sound alike) this band brings about nostalgia that no other can describe. In just a few years, this music has impacted me, Along with Mountainman(the three woman band) and Mewithoutyou.

I never realized why this song was slowly becoming my favorite off their self titled until revisiting this video and remembering discovering it 2 years ago. My subconscious kicks ass.

In the early days of Crosby Stills and Nash there was a similar buzz. The harmonies were unbelievable, and the material was sorta natural, acoustic and with a conscience. Fleet Foxes are in many ways as good as CS&N in their day. Not at all the same, but since I lived thru that era, I can see similarities. Both incredible musicians, very talented songwriters. A gift to our time.

Decided to take a look at this Take Away show and it reminded why I love the Fleet Foxes so much. I've only gotten to see them live once in 2011. This is real music, raw talent, and I could never get enough. Come back to Austin Fleet Foxes!

I love this band so freaking much. And I love this song too. It's one of my favorite songs of theirs. And I love how even live how their harmonies still sound very sync and great together

Reminds me of singing shaped notes music with a blacksmith, a quilter and a candlestick maker back about 30 years ago at a folk arts festival in Alabama (Horse Pens 40). Great stuff.

Art at it's best.

They are what I imagine if CSNY had a baby with Simon and Garfunkel. Phenomenal lyricism combined with insane harmonies.

There is no other band who has taught me more about harmony than Fleet Foxes. My parents just moved to North Carolina, they live in the Blue Ridge Mountains. One day I will lay on the ground there and listen to this song. Only then will I be complete.

I was crying so much when i heard this song, reminded me so much of the times I spent with my gf in the UK, the life I lead with her in spring and in the summer, the times we lie down with each other in the gardens and the ice creams we had, the laughters and tears and the times we played in the first days of the breaking of spring. It was all so beautiful. God I miss her so much.

I can't believe that there are people alive that can perform like that. A completely pure band that performs so convincingly.

I love that this took place during the time where they still struggled with the tempo on this song lol. Sun Giant was phenomenal though. 14 years later, still every bit as excellent as it was on day one. God I love FF.

Almost in tears, I love them so much. It's like someone tailored a band together just for me, spun from flax golden voices and guitar strings. -3 :')

I think all bands should sing in dome shaped rooms with amazing acoustics.

One of my favorite bands. This is what real music sounds like.

They’ve all grown up so much since then. As artists, as individuals. And damn good music along the whole journey.

Timeless.

Can't stop listening to their song ! Amazing band

The best thing I ever did in my life was go to college and room with someone that showed my this beautiful band. This song is amazing recorded and even better as a take away show. FFF (fleet foxes forever ♥️)

Fleet Foxes are one of those bands who just go un-noticed and do their own thing, and just blossom into something beautiful. And when they finally do explode with stardom, they're just the same.

These guys make some of the best music I've ever heard in my life.

Just saw them at Spreckels Theatre in San Diego...amazing live show. Their vocals are haunting, and just as great live as recorded. After listening for a couple of hours I still had to come home and listen some more. Inspiring!
