In the quivering forest Where the shivering dog rests

Artist- Fleet Foxes
Song of the day- Blue Ridge Mountains

So being a music addict, I'm especially particular of the music I listen to when I travel. This takes on a whole John Cusack in 'high fidelity' mix tape turn if I go on a roadtrip, but for plane rides it's all about setting the tone. And that tone is always mellow. Being freaked out by flying and taking anti-anxiety pills that relax every muscle in my body, I look for music that carries this feeling for my 6 hours or what have you of travel time. I've gone through various phases of mellow artist to assist me in this journey and this summer for each of my long flight journeys the weight has been successfully carried by Fleet Foxes. Not really being a true fan till seeing them live this summer, I found a safe haven and perfect flying lullaby in their harmonious sound that for me always starts with today's song. So if you're looking for a gateway into your own mellow safe haven, this one's for you.



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
