the Decemberists - isnt it a lovely night - (7 of 17)

This song reminds me of John Lennon- Jealous Guy, that chord progression

jealous sky

best decemberists song, IMO

Truly one of my new favorite bands, The Decemberists captured my attention while listening to WYEP in Pittsburgh. I found their music tranquilizing and it goes well with a Vicodin and headphones. I seen their show last month and was blown away, a must see band if your fortunate enough to have them come to your town. COME BACK TO PITTSBURGH SOON!

lovely song.. puts me to sleep :P

O, what a sweet (little) song!

The song appeals to me, among other reasons, because it's not something Colin could pull off on his own. He so often struggles because he doesn't want to hand over the lights to the other band members. Here, he lets go and she delivers effortlessly and beautifully. The love expressed is mature and beautiful celebrating the result, not the act of love.

I might have agreed with you until this album- restores some faith in the band. For a while I was really concerned Colin's ego would destroy what they had created.

I completely agree. I had all but stopped listening to the Decemberists until this album came out.

Way as in the family way- so they got into the situation as a result of their sex play. One of the things I like about the Decemberists is that they don't use literal lyrics not like " It's great I fucked you and now we have a kid".
