[makeupluv17]

a-chew?

[Seaturtlecharm]

heartcarved tree trunk yankee bayonet a sweetheart left behing. Far from the hills and the sea-swelled carolinas thats where my true love lies..... I memorized the entire song i <3 it

[YoYoChickiYoYo]

The lady is the beste woman-singer at the world!

[QMPhilosophe]

@YoYoChickiYoYo I also love her voice - she is Laura Veirs.

[YoYoChickiYoYo]

This is really the best song of The Decemberists

[Seaturtlecharm]

LOVE THIS SONG

[ManagableHair]

all their songs make me sad. but i still love them.

[KristinSmilee]

Is this song from anywhere?

I remember hearing it... But I don't know where ><

[FighterUnitHopeless]

I bet that the one person who pressed dislike meant to press like and just didn't realize that they pressed the wrong button.

[pineal2012]

Too bad it took me until today, 10-9-11 to discover this greatness.

[Lrapsody27]

@pineal2012 Such a happy moment when you first discover them. Magical...

[RahRahRaharu]

So anyone who likes the female singer in this song her name is Laura Viers. For fans of this song try her album July Flame. Enjoy

[starryskyrhi]

This is my absolute favorite song by them. I love all their stuff, but this one just is in a whole different level in my mind. It unfortunately reminds me of my ex, but, I mean.. what can you do. I still love it.

[SlicksandStreets]

LOL its a good song.

doesnt matter what they say

[e1kie]

FOR THE LAST TIME USE YOUR FUCKING EARS!!! Seriously your stupid

[magicaltonkatruck]

@e1kie I got curious, and listened to that one part repeatedly to see if maybe what everyone thinks is "my" was background music. But no, she definitely says "my". And besides it makes more sense with a my. I mean, he wasn't everybody's true love. It was HER true love. In the end, it doesn't matter, but maybe you should be a little more patient and thoughtful rather than angry and...angry.

[e1kie]

@magicaltonkatruck Your stupid

[magicaltonkatruck]

@e1kie nou.

[DominoGray]

@e1kie

You're...it's you're. For example:

'If you're going to call someone stupid, you ought to learn grade school English first'

[e1kie]

@DominoGray its the internet dumbass who gives a shit? I know how to spell I do it quite well I just dont think your swell so just go to hell

[DominoGray]

@e1kie

It's 'it's'-- you really struggle with contractions, don't you? Btw, you need a semicolon inserted in between two independent clauses or else you end up with a run-on sentence; it's pretty hard on the eyes

[e1kie]

@DominoGray ITS the internet. YOUR retarded. I dont even know where you see a semicolon but who gives a shit. IM letting it all go because I know IM better than all of you. Goodbye

[DominoGray]

@e1kie

I'm aware that you don't see the semicolon, because you didn't use one; that was the point-- you needed one.

'better than 'all of you''

That's an undefined pronoun. Now we don't even know who it is you're arguing yourself to be superior to! So you can see that grammar and syntax aren't arbitrary or simply formal, but pretty essential to literary communication regardless if it's on the internet or not. Knowledge is power, buddy boy;)

[BenGabbay]

@DominoGray Wow...did I just stumble across a completely irrelevant argument about grammar? Amazing.

[DominoGray]

@BenGabbay

lol, sorry, the guy was being mean to a seemingy nice dude. So I figured I`d fuck with the guy (e1kie) just for a rise; I didn`t mean to take away from your enjoyment of this lovely song

[e1kie]

@TheSkelwor You could not be more wrong. You could try, but you would not be successful.

[twilightgirl4343]

O

G

Probably one of their best songs.

The lyrics are spectacular :]

[ThexOriginalxGoose]

best decemberists song? anyone?

[macklilly]

their voices go great together

[TheMadamMalice]

I love this song. Reminds me of someone special :) I miss him :(

[TheBlindPig1]

Mother with child do you see god in your fellow man.

[e1kie]

Its just thats where true love lies. no my

[DrNikui]

@e1kie wanna make a bet?

[e1kie]

@DrNikui Actually I would bet anything. Just listen to the song its obvious. there were a few other mistakes but its no biggie but I mentioned that one cuz its my favorite line in the song

[DrNikui]

@e1kie Check out their website or CD, with their official lyrics. Then let me know if we're still betting.

[e1kie]

@DrNikui Well if you were smart you would know that a lot of lyrics are wrong even in the official and final printing. Look at linkin park-krawling and the first 3rd eye blind album. Listen to the song. she does not say my. your retarded. use your fucking ears

[DrNikui]

@e1kie Ooookay darling, I think it's pretty clear we're hearing different things. I'm not going to try to convince you you're wrong. You have a nice day now.

[mckeelsy]

@e1kie she definitely says "my". it's on a lower so it' s harder to hear. DrNikui is right on this one. sorry.

[e1kie]

@mckeelsy You are both wrong use your ears and not your stupidity. I have been listening to it over and over your retarded. I will admit that were probably the original lyrics but I know for a fact she didnt say it on the fucking album. Use your ears

[blithium]

@e1kie No, she most definitely says "my", sorry mate.

[e1kie]

@blithium your a fucking stupid dipshit. Your wrong

[e1kie]

@blithium Dont use your eyes use your fucking EARS dipshit

[blithium]

@e1kie Yeah, we're done here.

[e1kie]

@blithium You lose

[DrNikui]

@mckeelsy High five.

[mckeelsy]

@DrNikui oh yeah! not sure why this person cares so much anyway.
