can't stop listening to - fleet foxes

This beautiful song:


My current favorite song - called White Winter Hymnal - off my current favorite album by my current favorite band, Fleet Foxes. The fact that I find the video to be absolutely beautiful, is a bonus. This song has been rendered even lovelier to me through this interpretation of the lyrics that I found on the internet:

"I think of this song as a little frame of a childhood memory - maybe of a five or six year old. He is with a bunch of children, maybe running after the older kids, who just look like a bunch of coats since they are so bundled up. He thinks in his child's mind that the scarves keep their heads from falling off. Then he looks behind him and his friend has fallen and hurt himself and there is bright red blood in the snow. Sometimes a memory like that sticks with you even though you can't remember anything else about it."

Lyrics and other interpretations of the potential meaning of this song, can be found here.
