Mykonos (song)

Mykonos is a song by American indie folk band Fleet Foxes, from their second EP Sun Giant (2008).

"It depicts a pair of small origami triangles (representing feet) on an adventure through a world made solely of paper.

Eventually, the triangles find a bird, upon whose back they ride above the clouds, only to fall again and end up in a dark forest filled with long, thin legs walking around.

They then enter a flying machine, and encounter a tall figure, which they push over a cliff, to fall with it, watched by rows of eyes.

[4] The New York Times said of the track that there are moments when "the band members' high, honeyed voices melded into an imperfect swell reminiscent of the kind of church choir John and Alan Lomax might have captured with their 500-pound recording machine.
