i'm not sure, it sounds incredible though! what i really wanna know is what pickup he has in it, i've never heard a plugged in acoustic sound so incredibly natural as if it were being mic'd

Lead singer of The Decemberists's son has autism and this song was written for him."Hey Henry, can you hear me, let me see those eyes this distance, between uscan seem a mountain sizebut boy, you are gonna stand your groundthey rise to you you'll blow them down let me see you stand your groundthey rise to you you'll blow them down"

@frithar I am inclined to agree. However, Chuck Ragan holds that title for me. You aren't wrong though, it's just to each their own. Colin Meloy's voice is incredible.

Best song in years.

givemethewall

this song is dedicated to Colin's son Henry that was diagnosed with autism. Colin is simply great.

@archaeonerd It looks to me like a late 50s D28. They had the through-saddle and the grovers. No reason to think it's anything but that. Definitely Braz. A desireable guitar even if it weren't Mr. Meloy's.

@pootubeP90x im pretty sure its in the key of G

Here's a weird comment to make, but accurate, I think: Meloy has the most agrarian-sounding voice I've ever heard. So organic and earthy. If the earth could sing, it would sound roughly like Colin Meloy...

For anyone who doesn't know, this song is about his wife and son and his son's autism

what's up with his guitar? What type is it?

Matt Burnside

Amazing songwriter!
