Shankill Butchers (Decemberists Cover)

https://www.facebook.com/ENOrangeLazarus Me playing the Decemberists "Shankill Butchers. YES I KNOW COLIN DOESN'T USE A CAPO (at least he didn't at the Tabernacle the second time I saw them live) but I do because I originally figured this song out when he first played it (to my knowledge) solo on NPR. I was lucky enough to snag a copy of the mp3 of the whole show before NPR pulled it offline! It contained this song and another yet unpublished tune called "Baby Song." Damn that was a great show!

absolutely LOVE it. is that a Hendrix or Dylan shirt?

[baraka1408]

Hendrix! And what a good eye you have! You could tell from the top of the hair lol! And thanks for loving my cover!

[BlackIrish1916]

this song is a true story...

of a loyalist group that took innocent irish catholics and would keep them weeks at a time, tourturing them,then they would butcher them and dump their bodys by the a road were it could be found,

[ashotinthedark10]

great cover man. i would love to see more.

[ravensky23]

One of my favorite songs too, great cover!

[baraka1408]

there's a million movies stories news broadcasts drawings/other things that are as horrible as what those people did. For you to single me out is ridiculous and you have problems. Second of all if you actually listend to the song or the original which I'm sure you haven't you would hear the terror and how mothers are warning their children. It's not a song glorifying them. You have angered me with your senseless comment and instant jump to conclusions. You don't know everything ok?

[mifishi]
