Songfacts®:

  • Lead singer and songwriter Robin Pecknold (fromDaytrotter): "This one was meant to be just a simple 'ode' of sorts to the simplest things in life. I often get really caught up in minutiae in my day to day life so this song is just a reminder (to myself I guess) that there is value in just looking at the sun (or something equally simple) and not thinking about anything else."

  • Jules from OregonThis LP hit me like a hammer when i first listened to it. The melodies, simple, yet complex. I return to this frequently, it just breathes Americana.
