@TheCoraline31 I haven't read the book, but I can't wait to see the movie. I love books, but I have a habit of reading books after watching the movies..oh, lessons learned the hard way xD
every couple of weeks this song randomly gets stuck in my head, especially the line "i am the heart that you call home." i think ima get that tattooed soon.
@randomcallsRus i feel like that line could go either way... either saying "i am the person you love" or "you are the person I love" .... that being said, i think it's a risky tattoo. Your almost running the risk of walking around with a tat that says "you love me..." which would be funny in a cocky sort of way, but it sounds like your going for something meaningful here. I'm not trying to be a dick - just sayin.
@randomcallsRus *sigh* I guess you just can't save some people from themselves. You're the one that will look like the retard in a vague tattoo directed at no one in particular, not me.
that being said, don't put out personal thoughts or feelings on a public forum if you don't want some sort of response. This isn't your private journal. Just sayin.
@YesYouAreIgnorant lol this isn't my private journal.. you're right. but there's thousands of other comments just as connected to this song as mine and you decide to pick on me? your username is YesYouAreIgnorant, after all.
with that said i didn't post my comment with a definitive answer in my head. it's not as if i went out and got that line tattooed immediately. however, who are you to say that i will look like a retard with a vague tattoo?
@YesYouAreIgnorant if the song means a lot to me (which it does) and that line in particular strikes a chord, who are you to judge my decisions? there are people in the world with mom tattoos splattered across chests and forearms.. but they're happy and they like it because it fulfills some part of them. i understand you're trying to be helpful but c'mon.. i just posted a comment not to anyone in particular.
What a nice change of pace from my usual hardcore punk, for those of yopu who only listen to metal and punk ITS called diversity (and thats not an old, old wooden ship)
@hertdeedle Personally I think theres somthing anachronistic and haunting about folk music in general - the decemberists in particular strike a very primal chord for me. And maybe Im partial to them because I also am a book nerd. On a side note, kudos to you both for using your big kid words and actually promoting an interesting discussion.
@barfly487 Like we said, it is a matter of taste. Folk writers would be shaking in their grave if they knew that we were calling this folk music. Before we can talk about this song and how anachronistic folk music is, we must first clarify one thing...This song is as "Folk" as it is "Death metal". OK, maybe I've spent too much time responding to peoples reaction to my first post. How about this...I'm sorry if I offended anyone who likes the Decembersists.
Just heard this song this morning on Pandora, I like it. By the way what's up with these kids arguing and name calling on youtube!? This is a place to comment about the music, not host your 8th grader fights and name calling.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I shouldn't waste my breath(or my keystrokes for that matter). I'm not saying everyone should listen to heavy metal or hard rock or something to that extent. But to all you who think this music is soulful or even deep; LISTEN TO MORE MUSIC! The day real talent, fun,creativity, originality all go out of style....I will listen to the Decemberists. Just not cleaver enough...Sorry
@zepphead333 Ya know zepphead?The fact that you called me an Asshole/douche bag does not offend me at all. There are two ways I can take it: a) You're weak, misinformed, too young, or too old. b) Decemberists fans are actually capable of doing something offensive! I shall pardon you. have a good day.
@hertdeedle To each his own! I respect your opinion (however much I disagree with it), but I can't get past how metal and hard rock make my ears bleed. No matter how soulful and deep the lyrics are, metal is just a cacophony. The Decemberists have good sound & they have all the talent, fun, creativity, and originality that you say they lack. If you want to hear something that lacks talent, fun, creativity, and originality, listen to some Ke$ha, or maybe Lil' Wayne or Nickelback- all IN style.
@BeccaLovesBeatles You're right. To each his own. Sorry Becca, I just happen to like riskier musicians than them. In my opinion, there is nothing remotely sexy, thoughtful, primal, or unpredictable about this song. It just makes me feel nothing. It doesn't help that the vocal delivery is pseudo theatrical, contrived, and highly "forced". Fake, if you will. There is no difference between say Nickleback's manly "marble mouth" vocals and Collin's forced "book nerd" delivery. just fake:(
@hertdeedle I actually like the "forced delivery"...it's not fake, it's acting. Meloy takes on characters for his songs; he's not singing as Colin Meloy. The way he sings and pronounces words is (I think) supposed to sound old-worldy, which fits the tone and content of the songs. I personally love it.
@hertdeedle I am sorry that you feel The Decemberists are not cleaver enough to meat your expectations. It seems that your opinion has given many people a beef against you. Personally, I think you express yourself well, not butchering the English language like some on the internet. Your comments seem to be witty, not at all marrow-minded.
@onlyampersand I think it's funny how you misspelled "meet" as "meat," then said,"...given many people a beef..." Common mistake, I'm not trying to be a prick and point out this mistake, just thought it was funny. And if it wasn't an accident, then you sir, are a hidden gem in the world of comedy. Keep it up.
@onlyampersand I admit it took me too long to catch your sarcasm. However, you making fun of my hastily written comments has nothing to do with the subject at hand. My comments have only to do with the music. I'm sure you feel quite good that you were able to showcase your middle school level spelling skills and humor ON YOUTUBE. How about I pay more attention to my spelling, and you listen to better music...Fair?
does this need some big, over-the-top stage show with crappy background dancers, tons of make up, clouds of smoke and a ginormous, distracting laser show? no. music like this works on its own. as long as there are bands like this and people who are supporting them, i have faith in the world. godbless
My sister just showed me this song my girlfriend of five months broke up with me today on our anniversary I cried like all day and this song was perfect for me didnt chear me up but let me know I'm not the only out there with a broken heart
as deceptiveshape said above ^^ I can understand the heartache.. not first hand but by watching my poor brother. Him and I shared musical tastes and I would always be a helpful critic to his acoustic songs that he wrote. He fell in love with this girl he met in Europe and they dated for a long time. He and I listened to the Decemberists that entire time, especially this song. Soon after, she broke his heart and left him for a guy in Brazil. He always listened to this song.. it broke my heart+his
This could not speak for how I feel in my relationship with this girl any more. She says she loves me, but it just doesn't seem like it. But, I think she may say "love" not as a true love sort.
I really think that Picaresque will eventually go down as their masterpiece. I have enjoyed the other albums a lot, but Picaresque is something truly special as far as songwriting.
ok first of all i can't even begin to explain my love for these guys its INDESCRIBABLE! I know ALL of their songs. Ive loved them since i heard the Apology Song when i was like 6 :D! Every song is great. Brilliant lyrics .. . x LOVE THE<! NME said they were 1 of the 50 bands you must see before you die, i agree! And they're North-West Americnas like me :P! xx LOVE
i have been listening to this song since i was 6 and i still LOVE it nothing can stop me from listening to it and every time i listen to it i ALWAYS sing alone lol thank you dad for puting this song on the day i first heard it (witch was one of the worst days EVER) gave me a big big big smile :D
this song is outstanding. don't whine about your failed 17-year-old loves; it has a lot more significance than your unrequited and confused crush and you will love again. anyway, just appreciate the song for what it is. great stuff.
This song brings me to tears. The lyrics. Every time I listen to it, it reminds me of my first and one and only true relationship with a girl I loved very much, but it did not work because she did not feel for me as I did for her. Pages upon pages trying to rid her from my bones, but bones are forever... here to stay just as she will be.
@deceptiveshape Wow man... Realy deep shit about something fairly simple. I love it though. Props to you for sticking it out. There will always be another.
this also reminds me of ''my one true relationship'' but it did not work either.. I still don't know if he ever loved me. He used to say so but now he's confused and I'm confused and.. crap.
@deceptiveshape definitely been there myself before, dude. i love your comment. and i'm pretty sure a vast majority of the people on here can likely relate. it's never fun, it's always hard, and it takes time. just know that it WILL get better, and that if she didn't feel the same for you, she wasn't the one for you. your TRUE one and only will come along in due time. i can promise you that. hang in there.
@deceptiveshape i feel you bro, im heartbroken right now, i showed her soo much love and she took it and stepped on it..after 4 years. i wanna forget and move on, but i gave her everything she ever deserved. and its hard to live life.
i hear ya, also another great band to listen to when feeling crappy about a relantionship is Cloud Cult, especially their album Hippopautamus (i have no idea how to spell that plus its a much longer title, needless to say it will help trust me)
Anyone else see any inspiration for this song in R.E.M.'s Driver 8? Colin was a kid when REM put that song out so he probably heard it before. Has Colin ever said anything about a connection?
that's a ridiculous genre that was unfortunately spread around by some hipsters who take pride in knowing about music first. what exactly would go under this "genre"?
There's something about this band I can't find in any other. They are truly amazing. Colin's voice, the instruments, the subject matter. It's a perfect combination.
... I discovered this band from the back of my Pride and Prejudice book. (They had an "If They Were on FaceBook Today" bit.) Amazing song. Adding this band to my favorites after just one song. C:
Now this is my type of music, not that crap Justice beaver or whatever his name is.

this song is outstanding. don't whine about your failed 17-year-old loves; it has a lot more significance than your unrequited and confused crush and you will love again. anyway, just appreciate the song for what it is. great stuff.

This song brings me to tears. The lyrics. Every time I listen to it, it reminds me of my first and one and only true relationship with a girl I loved very much, but it did not work because she did not feel for me as I did for her. Pages upon pages trying to rid her from my bones, but bones are forever... here to stay just as she will be.

@deceptiveshape We're in the same boat, mate. I too have a one and only love. This song puts my feelings exactly into words.

this also reminds me of ''my one true relationship'' but it did not work either.. I still don't know if he ever loved me. He used to say so but now he's confused and I'm confused and.. crap.

@deceptiveshape definitely been there myself before, dude. i love your comment. and i'm pretty sure a vast majority of the people on here can likely relate. it's never fun, it's always hard, and it takes time. just know that it WILL get better, and that if she didn't feel the same for you, she wasn't the one for you. your TRUE one and only will come along in due time. i can promise you that. hang in there.

i hear ya, also another great band to listen to when feeling crappy about a relantionship is Cloud Cult, especially their album Hippopautamus (i have no idea how to spell that plus its a much longer title, needless to say it will help trust me)

I love this band with all of my heart. The best music I've ever heard.

indie can be a genre or the status of whether a band is signed or not.
cool.
anyways, this song is nice.

Anyone else see any inspiration for this song in R.E.M.'s Driver 8? Colin was a kid when REM put that song out so he probably heard it before. Has Colin ever said anything about a connection?

@desertmusic13 It's indie, but also what is classified as "Baroque-rock", a sort of rock hybrid between older and newer styles.
I do know that this track is amazing regardless.

They're not indie......they are signed.
InvalidFactor 2 years ago
yes they are too indie do you even know what indie music is?
jenniferzushin 2 years ago
indie=independent. the decemberists are signed.
InvalidFactor 2 years ago
yeh but it's also a style of music now.
If we mean 'independent', now we just use the word "independent".
"indie" is the subgenre of music.
PadraikKasier 2 years ago
that's a ridiculous genre that was unfortunately spread around by some hipsters who take pride in knowing about music first. what exactly would go under this "genre"?
InvalidFactor 2 years ago
Well, according to people, The Decemberists.
I didn't say that it was good or right, that's just how people think.
PadraikKasier 2 years ago
The beginning of this song reminds me of the Smith's "Half a Person".

There's something about this band I can't find in any other. They are truly amazing. Colin's voice, the instruments, the subject matter. It's a perfect combination.

... I discovered this band from the back of my Pride and Prejudice book. (They had an "If They Were on FaceBook Today" bit.) Amazing song. Adding this band to my favorites after just one song. C:
