It's a great song and it's adorable that he wrote it, but it makes me feel so painfully jealous of his wife! I guess I have to come to terms with the fact that Colin Meloy will never marry me. haha.
If I'm not mistaken, I think it's kind of like a Johnny Depp-Vanessa Paradis situation where it's not official but they're raising a family together and such. So they may as well just be married.
I actually think this song is about his wife carrying his daughter, due to the "tumblin' in Dublin" in relative time to her pregnancy and when The Decemberists played in Dublin.
I took the "tumblin' in Dublin" to mean...er...them making the baby (so to speak) in Dublin, as the next line is "..and next thing ya know" like it was a lil' bit of a surprise, albeit a wonderful surprise.
I'll post more of the concert soon, mix it up a bit. This solo concert was awesome, but The Decemberists, his band, are fantastic. Thanks for checking it out!

His voice is AMAZING. It's so unique. Before you hear one word you know exactly who it is. He is awesome.

It's a shame most people can't get past his singing. He's a brilliant musician.

This song is gorgeous. I just had a baby in June so of course I relate it to mine and my husband's own experience, it makes me tear up.

I loved this song before of knowing it was about her daughter, now reading the lyrics I love it more.
Colin is great.
Thanks for the video.

You're absolutely right, he mentioned that at the show before he started singing.

This is no tortured troubadour. He marvels in wonder at the world and inspires his listeners. At least in this song.
