colin meloy- shiny

[briannna]

Sweet, this is my video. :) We got to sit right in front, so I had to record a few of the songs.

[feasible]

Every time I listen to this version, it makes me love the recorded version even more. It's just such a ridiculously perfect performance - understated but incredible.

[thebrightside00]

Perfection.

[coolbeans343]

This song brings me back to summers at Cape Cod. Thank you so much Colin.

[breakawayfrp]

Decemberists is great and this song is a gift ..lovee

[injoyfruit]

i just melt when i hear this song

my god his voice. his voice!

[laurmaste]

perfect.

[nickeeeee]

I listen to this more than I listen to the album version. It's just perfect.

[StageConspire]

Colin is so amazing, and this is just such a beautiful song

[jax121467]

Colin has changed my whole perception of what I thought was attractive in a man. He is beautiful.

[doctorcropcircles]

It's not about looks all the way, is it? I mean his voice, the way he speaks as well as sings... His getlemanly mannerisms are attractive in themselves.

[wearedoctor]

oh my goooddddddddddddddddddddddd

colin is beyond amazing

[TheDailyPanda]

i was at this show. i was in high school at the time. youngest kids there. amazing show.

[narutothedobe]

just beautiful

[dindi83]

this song is so personal... I'm just crying...

[viper12823]

Such a good song...

[puzzle383]

oh gosh i love this song.

it reminds me of the gypsy children we used to play with by the river in france.

i love it.

[tallchai]

i love how you so non-chalantly mention gypsy children in france. just thought i'd say that. and yes this song is amazing.

[puzzle383]

i did not intend to post a life story on youtube.

if you think i was cold hearted in my mentioning or phrasing of my memory, then you that is your opinion.

i love that memory.

[tallchai]

i didn't say it was cold-hearted at all i just thought it was random and kind of funny.

[KryptoniteHeart]

wow....i heard of this first through the brooke version but i just love this song

[littledroogie]

This is most definitely one of the best songs I've heard in my lifetime.  The vocals, guitar pattern, writing, and other instrumental structures(as found on the EP) are all excellent.

[sarahjoy177]

The Decemberists are my absolute favourite band and im from england so they are coming over gradually.. that must be the reason why they hardly ever gig over here! i just got back from living in america for 6 months and they have a gig just down the road from where i lived in a month! bummed out!!

[vincenzo55555]

Unbelievable.

Thank you to whomever recorded & shared this.

Can't way to see Colin in Buffalo on Apr 18th!

[RecipeCollector]

Such a breathtaking song, and a brilliant writer.

Colin Meloy, I love you (in a somewhat heterosexual way :-P )!

Does anyone know when their next album is being produced and released? - Thanks!

[piratedla]

this video is amazing.

this song is amazing.

colin meloy is amazing.

[JennyJamx]

Pure genius.

It's such a shame that Britain haven't caught on to the Decemberists - their songs. What songs they are.

[queenban]

Why is the world not aware of this genius. There actually isn't a better songwriter around today.

[zooey0]

I adore this song... I adore The Decemberists... and Colin Meloy.

[Arekya]

Agreed, and the fact that they're from my homestate/town is even better ;3

[CivilianInRange]

this is an amazing song... also check out the Cover ( Vid Response ) of thebrooke.. i like her version even more !

[Arekya]

Goddess, I love how this guy sings and plays guitar..

[sattahh]

can't get that one out of my head... more solo stuff. now.

[quindlebug]

definantly one of my favorite decemberist songs.

[noodleguru]

I love how huggable and lovely he is.

COME TO EDMONTON, DAMMIT!

[thebrooke]

that is the most precious rendition I've seen.

[pharmageek]

I agree-much like this version of "Shiny", most of Colin's material sounds better when intimately performed acoustically at his solo shows.

[jackruby66]

I thought he worked off the band. This says something else. Bad Ass!

[Mobbsyomfglolz]

love this song so much i'm thinking of breaking my own rules and putting a cover of it in my album i'm recording. Thanks for uploading :)

[tejada3]

hope you get permission

[TrustNo121000]

[Phlikone]

Wow, I've heard a few of his Morrissey covers and they were really good...but this is a great song! 

[weighter]

His voice and music are godly

[coldengrey]

Oh. My. Lord. When did this occur? </3

[mhayati]

couple years ago during the Colin Meloy sings Morrissey tour.
