lyrics
If I wake before the sun rises
I remember stories old
Told to me by my mother’s voice
As the sky it turns from blue to gold
She told me of the day she learned
That madness is man, oh
Madness is a man among us, oh
And she let the madness in
Like any other man I have a code
And hold my friends to higher standards
But out on Ellen’s Quay a new crop of kids
Every year with louder voices
Trying to reach them is like sewing up a geyser
‘Cause madness is a man, oh
Madness is a man among us, oh
They will let the madness in
And then there are those who can make time stop
Crush the future into present
Your job your house your family
Turn to dust in an instant
And a single word from your lover’s voice
Says madness is a man, oh
Madness is a man among us, oh
You will let the madness in

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

Canadian producer and multi-instrumentalist galvanizes bowed guitars, cellos, and synths into an off-kilter exploration of heat and desire. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 25, 2024
My god, what an absolutely incredible Suite. I'll admit, I've struggled to get into Pharoah Sanders due to diving headfirst into some of his most challenging catalogue and that never worked. This is the perfect place to restart. Floating Points is new for me and I can honestly say I've never heard synthesizer music this lush and organic before. the LSO is just perfect. This is one of those albums that any serious music fan needs in their life. The perfect swan song for the great Pharaoh! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob
