Damn, I love this band. Lyrically, this song is an epic, eloquent shaggy dog story. Musically, it's got everything I want in a country ballad. Only the Decemberists could have pulled this off.

@jacobthelioneater Ah! My apologies! I didn't even realize this, somehow!

@dubld00ce Its a photo compilation, the starting cover is NOT intended to be the cover of the album this is song comes from. Notice the pic changes at 1:09, 1:56, 2:34, and 3:15.

@rockon9106 I've listened to every decemberists song yet produced.
And only one I've never liked.
When the War Came off of Crane's Wife.
Its probably just me, But I never liked that song.

... This... This is a great song... But the wrong album cover... This is from 5 Songs, not Castaways and Cutouts.

Searching for a bad Decemberists song... Still searching....

@Welihy Its less funny if you tell people its a joke. Its funner to watch people over-react as they take it seriously.

Hmm... I always thought Colin looked Irish, not Chinese.... and for all you people who don't know I'm kidding, that was a joke, and I know that this song probably isnt real.
Tried to use this song as a monologue. Got in trouble.
