Southern life

Well, my uncle has banned my "crackhead" music aka dubstep and dirty beats. So I have been scrolling through a lot more indie music to appease him. I stumbled upon this song and thought it was appropriate considering we talk Georgia a lot when I am here. It has taken me a long time to get into the Fleet Foxes but I really do enjoy them and that movement of music (Mumford and Sons, Iron & Wine, etc.) The song "Blue Ridge Mountains" is about a range in Northern Georgia and it truly is beautiful on this sunny, stifling 98 degree Tuesday afternoon.







Lie down with me my dear
Lie down
Under stormy night, tell nobody

My brother, where do you intend to go tonight?
I heard that you missed your connecting flight
To the Blue Ridge Mountains, over near Tennessee

You're ever welcome with me any time you like
Let's drive to the countryside, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes
So no one gets worried, no
So no one gets worried, no

But Sean, don't get careless
I'm sure it'll be fine
I love you, I love you
Oh brother of mine

In the quivering forest
Where the shivering dog rests
Our good grandfather
Built a wooden nest
And the river got frozen
And the home got snowed in
And the yellow moon glowed bright
Till the morning light

Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind

In the quivering forest
Where the shivering dog rests
Our good grandfather
Built a wooden nest
And the river got frozen
And the home got snowed in
And the yellow moon glowed bright
Till the morning light

Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind
No
