Fleet Foxes Shore review: Compelling yet calming track to experience zen in dystopia

Robin Pecknold, who is in charge of vocals and guitar in Fleet Foxes has once again turned ‘blues into music’ with Fleet Foxes Shore's album. While the lyrics of the song Shore speaks of ‘everything that could have been done at the moment’, it also takes a look at past memories and as people trample upon past experiences. According to Pitchfork.com, the song is pleasant, recalling and also calls up blissful moments. Apart from being a ‘slow, sunset, dewy’ song, it also is nice to the ears for anyone unfamiliar with Fleet Foxes. The song might make you feel the zen you long for in a vivid and uncertain dystopian society that 2020 is.

Fleet Foxes Shore review

The song also speaks about the ‘heaviness’ one feels which can be often intimidating. However, Shore is about coming to terms with it, staying a little longer and normalising with flaws, as per a report in Rolling Stone. With several vocal renditions with the words, ‘While I see it all’, the chorus is the best part about the song, It is rather uplifting in the chorus part.

Take a look at the soothing lyrics Fleet Foxes Shore's song

Kin of my kin
I rely on you
Taking me in
When a wave runs me through
As a shore I ever seem to sail to
And I know old heavinesses shake you

Maybe I stayed
Little long, could be
I needed shade
Sand on my feet
And it’s some new ailment is in me
Can’t divide what’s memory and what’s dream

Afraid of the empty
But too safe on the shore
And ‘fore I forget me
I want to record

While I see it all
While I see it all
