this here is a band that has jump to my top 5 bands in less than a week...which is very impressive considering it takes quite a bit to get in my top 5
hahaha...trust me... I've been listening to them for YEARS... his voice is flat on most of the final notes in the phrases... he probably has a cold or something... i've heard this song a ton and know what it REALLY sounds like when he sings it well... you have to really know anything about music to know he's out of tune ;)
Actually... I must side with jcotterm. In fact, I just saw the Decemberists live last night and they sounded amazing... and way better than in this video. I agree that he must have a cold. Pretty much out of tune.. yeah
Definitely glad to see a good version, as it is one of my faves by The Decemberists.
Great sadness that the tour was canceled. I hope the band member is doing better. I had ordered my tickets for the Long/Short shows at the Ballroom. At least I'll get the tickets and poster . . .
spectacular doesnt begin to describe that ending
