Fleet Foxes- Helplessness Blues




Sweet beautiful depression. This song is the most beautiful song about feeling helpless and down on yourself. The opening lines say it all "I was raised up believing that I was somehow unique. Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes unique in each way you see. And now after some thinking I'd say I'd rather be a functioning cog in machinery serving something greater than me" Pretty downer material there.. But be being down never sounded so good. Sweet beautiful depression.
