My favourite bit was when he killed a kid.
-
Colin has such a fitting voice for this music. Also WOW, what a lyricist!
God I love the Decembrists.

Just stumbled across this... just beginning to stumble across The Decemberists. I hate to draw comparisons but I hear a lot of House of Freaks in this song. Both great bands. R.I.P. B.Harvey and family.

@joshuafought of course is fiction, unless shape shifters and fairy queens exist and I've haven't heard about it :P
-
anyone kno is this story fiction? incredible either way
-
Structurally this is not a complicated song, it's true. It is however a thematically effective song, that is part of a long, structurally complicated piece of music. It's also quite a lot of fun.
-
@jacobthelioneater a "simplistic song about partying"? what the hell are you even talking about? this is cheap music.
-
@jacobthelioneater this song is the same 2 melodies over and over and over and over for 3 minutes. that's just lazy. how many times can you really to a song like this and still enjoy it?
-
@milkandmeat I'll take a song with good lyrics, great harmony, and a complex story over a simplistic song about partying that might have some good guitar. Decemberists may be not too diverse on the guitar section but then again neither were the beatles. It isn't about that. Guitar complexity is last on my check list for a good band.
