    The last communication with my brother was sending him this song to listen to. I knew he would like it. No response and then two months later-- he committed suicide. "Shadows of the mess you had made....Brother you don't need to turn me away. I was waiting down at the ancient gate. You go wherever you go today. You go today. I remember how it took you down..." This song is still one of my all-time favorite songs ever, but the lyrics now have a cemented bittersweet meaning to me.

    The movie Due Date was where I found this gem. Usually keep up with the music scene but totally missed this one. Although I guess it was a b side thing so many people did. I was about a year out of detoxing from a unhealthy career in pharma and I just randomly found a movie that had the right exact song for that right exact time in my life. I still hear it on satellite radio from time to time when I'm on the road. And even still to this day, it just emotionally stops me and you just hit the repeat button for a while. Really only way I can describe it.

    I kept hearing this song in public for years, just out of the reach of Shazam or other music identifying apps. I’d tried searching what I thought I heard online, no luck. Today, I was in a brightly lit tea-and-coffee bar in Bellingham, when this song came on. I thought the sounds of traffic and drinks being made would block Shazam’s efforts. Then, the world quieted down for about 10 seconds, more than enough time for the phone to vibrate once, indicating a song identified. The screen went purple, and “Mykonos - Fleet Foxes” popped up. I am truly grateful.

One of the greatest feelings a father could have and it's one that I will cherish forever especially now that he has passed away from cancer. God I miss him so. Sleep well my son

    LYRICS:
    The door slammed loud and rose up a cloud of dust on us
    Footsteps follow, down through the hollow sound, torn up.
    And you will go to Mykonos
    With a vision of a gentle coast
    And a sun to maybe dissipate
    Shadows of the mess you made
    How did animals in the snow tipped pines, I find
    Hatching from the seed of your thin mind, all night?
    And you will go to Mykonos
    With a vision of a gentle coast
    And a sun to maybe dissipate
    Shadows of the mess you made
    Brother you don't need to turn me away
    I was waiting down at the ancient gate
    You go
    Wherever you go today
    You go today
    I remember how they took you down
    As the winter turned the meadow brown
    You go
    Wherever you go today
    You go today
    When a-walking brother don't you forget
    It ain't often that you'll ever find a friend
    You go
    Wherever you go today
    You go today

Two triangles set off on a journey together, encountering puzzle after puzzle, never knowing what to expect or how to move forward through it, but ALWAYS figuring it out, together. They continue forth, conquering each obstacle as they come, until they finally get to blissfully toil through eternity, together. Perfect.

    This song is absolutely wonderful! For those of you born after 1990 who appreciate it, please take into account how it's influenced by the absolutely magical songs of America and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young from the 70s. Those albums deserve to be listened 40-50 years later, they are absolute classics! I can't help this song reminding me of Ohio from CSNY or Horse with no name from America!

      +Ruta Zoruba Indie refers to the lack of a big-name label. Independent- it is short for. This music is indie because the Fleet Foxes are signed by small independent labels. Indie folk rock, if you want to be overly precise.

    I'm singing an a Capella version of this with a group. It will be my last concert at high school before I graduate this year. I'm gonna bawl so hard. This song has a bittersweet meaning to me - I'm leaving to to big things with my life but the place I've been at this whole time working on getting me there is where I get to sing my last song, telling me to go all the places I want to go, today.

Looking back at some of my choices, the paths I took, things left unsaid that could have changed everything… I do envy your youth, when you’re in your early 20’s you literally have the world at your fingertips, you get to really decide the person you’re going to be, I just wish I had REALLY understood that the way I do now. Don’t make your choices based on what other people want.

    Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    The door slammed loud and rose up a cloud of dust on us
    Footsteps follow, down through the hollow sound, torn up
    And you will go to Mykonos
    With a vision of a gentle coast
    And a sun to maybe dissipate
    Shadows of the mess you made
    Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    Pallid animals in the snow-tipped pines I find
    Hatching from the seed of your thin mind all night
    And you will go to Mykonos
    With a vision of a gentle coast
    And a sun to maybe dissipate
    Shadows of the mess you made
    Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

    Brother, you don't need to turn me away
    I was waiting down at the ancient gate
    You go
    Wherever you go today
    You go today
    I remember how they took you down
    As the winter turned the meadow brown
    You go
    Wherever you go today
    You go today
    When out walking, brother, don't you forget
    It ain't often that you'll ever find a friend
    You go
    Wherever you go today
    You go today
    You go
    Wherever you go today
    You go today
    You go
    Wherever you go today

    I think this song is about a guy trying to send his drug addicted friend into rehab. Mykonos is a metaphor for a place of safety and help, such as a rehab center. The beginning verse about the door slamming shut means he and his friend had an argument. And the last part where he says "You go today" means he is telling him you either go or no more friendship. Lol I don't know if this is the exact meaning of the song but that's the vibe I'm getting. It's a great song though either way.

      FallenAngel So i honestly think this song is about taking place where blue right mountains leave off, after him and his brothers little vaca to the mountains. This is the after math of there romantic relationship, and his brother(sean) is now on again running away to mykonos as robin says it in the shadow of the mess he made and then goes on to say" brother you dont need to turn me away" and goes to to just says thay hes gone away, but thats just a very deep thought out optionn

    • @rev3ngous789
      @rev3ngous789 7 лет назад +19

      Mykonos is a Greek island and it's well known about its beauty, and it was voted as the most beautiful island of the world. Maybe it's a metaphor about the person that the singer refers to, when he says "And you will go to Mykonos with a vision of gentle coast." I don't know if it's relative to the story, but Mykonos is visited every year by the most famous celebrities and athletes like C.Ronaldo and NBA Teams. Maybe he is trying to tell that the person who the song is talking, is hiding his "mess that he made" and act like nothing happened and that connects to Mykonos where all the glamourous things are happening every summer.
