Helplessness Blues is the title track from the upcoming Fleet Foxes album, out May 3rd in the US. After hearing this song I can’t wait for the rest of album. Robin Pecknold may be one of the best lyricists in indie rock.

I was raised up believing I was somehow unique. Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes. Unique in each way you can see. And now after some thinking I’d say I’d rather be a functioning cog in some great machinery. Serving something beyond me. But I don’t, I don’t know what that will be.
I’ll get back to you someday soon you will see.
