The Decemberists w/ Grant Park Orchestra At Millennium Park

[elifaceface]

Man, you had an awesome seat. I couldn't even SEE them! What an incredible concert... best I have ever been to, yet.

[mattaciousd]

That was one of the best shows of the Summer of 07.

[Yosh2006]

Great song.

It is indeed about a joint suicide, although I don't reckon it's about rape...

[paralian]

"I laid you down in the grass of a clearing

You wept but your soul was willing"

[Yosh2006]

She's willing. She's weeping because it's her first time.

"Sweet untouched Miranda"

[kassiekitty]

i f-ing love this song! lol wow i think it does sound a bit like "losing my religion" but the lyrics and the voice...and wow its just fuc..oops...f-ing rocks!

[hotRhotHheatR]

This concert was so amazing.

[missklc]

it's about a rich guy who rapes a poor girl and deludes himself they're romantically in love and forces her to jump off a cliff

[13orthanc13]

and christianity is about a hapless jew carpenter living in an obscure part of asia minor who is deluded enough to believe he is the son of a jealous god and lets his own people string him up for shits and giggles....it ALL in the telling, and the perspective dearie...

[chumpychacha]

What an unfortunate perspective. Usually the thoughts of the weak and cowardly.  hmm, pitty.

[13orthanc13]

watch the news chumpy...the invented jealous "god" is still inspiring deaths, mindless, and senseless. Truly weak and cowardly to kill for such petty ideologies. Weaker still to somehow think such activities could result in a "paradise afterlife"...

[CarrieRadley]

ummm, think less joint suicide, and more romeo & juliet-esque issues. Similar to Radiohead's "Exit Music (for a film)"

[sallysaurussex]

It's not about lost religion, it's about a joint suicide. Go to lastfm and listen to the version they have of this song, it's live and in the beginning Colin says that's it's about a joint suicide.

[missklc]

he didn't think it's about lost religion... he think is sounds like 'losing my religion'.  the song.

[droctagon17]

Yeah, it sounds like losing my religion. That's why I could never get into it that much. I was at this show, and I didn't think it was that great. 7 out of 10.

[mattaciousd]

Best free concert ever.

[bromortimer]

this song reminds me of losing my religion, btw.

[phampants]

best concert i've been to in a long time

[highlyevolved117]

awsome concert, and it was free!
