As 2009, and the decade come to a close, PMA will be looking back at our favorite songs of the last ten years. We will update a list with 75 empty slots until we reach that song that changed everything. You can keep track of this list by keeping an eye on this page. We make these lists in hopes that you guys will chime in the comments and share your favorite musical moments of the noughties.
One does “White Winter Hymnal” around this time of the year. The gorgeous, soothing harmonies brought on so smoothly by Fleet Foxes are welcome distraction in this fast-paced musical era controlled by electronic music.
This song, however, does not remind me of winter at all. I see life sprout from the melting snow in the Springtime, whenever I unintentionally leave “White Winter Hymnal” on repeat for 45 minutes (it’s easier than you would think). The lyrics embedded between the heavenly chants of Fleet Foxes are often the center of discussion, but as dark the lyrics are, you can’t help but feel that everything is going to be just fine.

Luis–
I’d be awesome if you make your next podcast your top 25 songs of the decade. Good choices so far!
That is the plan, Alex
As soon as we announce our #1 song, we’ll put the new podcast up.
What is it that everyone likes about this song? Can someone please try to explain it somewhat subjectively to me. I find the song alright, but its nothing special.
It’s just beautiful, and so different from what you hear today. It feels like a classic, like something you’ve known all of your life… and the kicker is that it was released just last year.
For me what’s amazing about Fleet Foxes is they make beautiful music. The melodies and the harmonies fuze together so evenly and the audioscape’s they create are so unique. Their songs vacillate between an open airy feel and a cozy campfire camaraderie. Where else can you find that?
This was my favorite song of last year. Even know, it still sounds just as good.
Great pick with White Winter Hymnal.
White Winter Hymnal is a great choice.
Just read that Robin has formed a new band/project Rainbow Fang with his sister and Morgan Henderson from Past Lives. Sound like it could be really good. If anyone’s interested here’s the article http://tinyurl.com/yj2fxef
It’s sounds like Christmas:)
that is exactly how i feel. it reminds me of the holidays
i remember when i first heard it, mtv vas playing the video actually which is so rare, anyway it hypnotized me, i couldn’t get the melody out of my head for days, it’s so short but beautiful on many levels, the harmonies, the simplicity, the familiarity…
