After the Bombs - The Decemberists (Lyrics)

[dubld00ce]

This song makes me so incredibly happy and hopeful. It makes me want to sweep my girlfriend into my arms and just dance around the room. It makes me want to sing at the top of my lungs. It makes me love more.

And apparently it turns me into a sappy sod. :3

[EpicLulzKing]

Wonderful song.

[shizznugget]

why isnt this on the copy of the album that i bought

[Somebearo]

@DrPinkReality Well then perhaps I should begin studying law and I'll have a job :)

There is always a silver lining.

[Somebearo]

@DrPinkReality thank you for putting yourself at risk, and I hope you escape the consequences of the proposed Sopa :)

(I hope all of us do) but we have lived through the golden age of the Internet, where all is free. It is the beginning of the end. And I will now go stand on my virtual street corner and yell about redemption to the passing crowd.

[DrPinkReality]

@Somebearo I think the worst that could come of this is that this video would get taken down, if jeffsalzberg actually reported me (which he should have, logically). I think you need multiple copyright violations to get banned.

Actually, I'm hoping the consequences of SOPA involve the creation of many more paralegal jobs to help with all the litigation which will presumably arise because of how flagrantly unconstitutional the proposed bill is.

[jeffsalzberg]

@DrPinkReality, then why bother with the disclaimer at all?

[DrPinkReality]

@jeffsalzberg Courtesy?

[jeffsalzberg]

@DrPinkReality, not illegally copying an artist's work would be more courteous than copying it while plastering a meaningless disclaimer on it.

[DrPinkReality]

@jeffsalzberg Well, surely it counts for something. You've commented on this video, after all.

[jeffsalzberg]

@DrPinkReality , if non sequitur were the same as rebuttal, you'd have a point. You should at least be honest. If you're going to steal an artist's work, then steal it; don't pretend you're not.

[DrPinkReality]

@jeffsalzberg To, at least on a superficial level, cover my bases and disclaim my ownership of the song.

[DylanNes]

@jeffsalzberg Do your morals and values make you feel special?

[jeffsalzberg]

@DylanNes, no, other people's lack of ethics makes me sad.

[DylanNes]

@jeffsalzberg Then we probably feel equally sad. Your bitching has effectively ruined my day.

[jeffsalzberg]

@DylanNes, if something I posted a month ago, challenging your violation of other people's intellectual property rights, can ruin your day, you must be a very shallow person.

[DylanNes]

@jeffsalzberg Listen to yourself: "challenging your violation of other people's intellectual property rights". If you was talking like that I'd kill myself.

[jeffsalzberg]

Saying "for entertainment purposes only. No profit is being made" does not change the fact that it's copyright infringement.

[DrPinkReality]

@jeffsalzberg If Youtube suddenly gets taken down entirely overnight under one of those wonderful new nanny state laws they're trying to pass, I guess you will know who to blame.

[pentecost95]

This has to be one of my favorite songs by The Decemberists, then again, it's so hard to choose a favorite.

[Thebluebridgetroll]

different album

[REXMCDANGER]

I bought this album, but this song isn't on there -____-

[rkt739]

@REXMCDANGER It's a bonus track from somewhere. It does go with the album, though.

[tzlive7]

Wow, sounds like their first album. How haven't I heard this before?

[HannahTheHappyHippie]

I like how this song is called "after the bombs" and there's like korean or japanese or some type of asian people in the picture. Really ironic if that wasn't on purpose.

[xchiaroscura]

@HannahTheHappyHippie That's the cover to The Crane Wife, one of the Decemberists' albums. I cringe for you...

[JohnGonzales001]

@xchiaroscura Why so? This track was a bonus track on the end of The Crane Wife if you got it through iTunes if I remember rightly. So that's the proper cover to use.

[Biverix]

This reminds me of Lonely Soldier by Damien Rice. Both are lovely songs, though :)

[maxvoitech]

i do not see lyrics.

[DrPinkReality]

@maxvoitech Click under the video where it says "Show more" and then look down.

[lukefromdownunder]

Emotional week for me. girlfriend trouble, family trouble and my two best friends in the whole world are being cheated on and led on respectively...

It just all came out, tears and shit. i love you decemberists

[Brandonlym]

I was looking for the band After The Bombs, but this isn't bad actually.

[insanelysirius]

@Brandonlym sometimes you find some of the best songs that way. =)

[SoulBleacher93]

The whole song makes me cry. Especially "Til' it all... Starts over again..."...

[3DiamondMistress]

After the rockets calm* 83

[ryanthewise1]

the organ solo in this makes me want to cry.

[MrBirdnose]

@ryanthewise1 Me too.  Jenny Conlee makes it wail the way only a Hammond really can.
