The end of this song, from about 4:10 until the end, reminds me a lot of the "la-dah-dum-dum" part Colin Meloy sings in the chorus of "Shanty for the Arethusa". Interesting . . .

What a beautiful song. The Decembrists are genius.

My dad recently got a sailboat and taught me how to sail it now "I know every yard arm, from main mast to jib sheet"

Just because they don't like this song doesn't mean they don't know what actual music is. Learn to accept other people opinions, you officious, cocky prick.

... You do realize you just shortened the comment below, in a vulgar style.

omg let's fight like fucking fools over the internet. On that note, this is a fucking awesome song, so shut up and listen. The end.

...it's amazing how much arguing happened in the comments. If you don't like the songs go away. I happen to love the song. So when I go down to see if people feel the same way as I do. But no, they are all too busy with their pride. I know that was from a while ago, almost a year, but it ruined the trance I got from listening to as many songs from the Decemberists as you can.

Well, what a surprising gem!

John Juhant

That's rich coming from the guy who 'liked' recordings of people playing left for dead video games.

Why would I be butt hurt because I think T.I. whatever that is is music? You sir, just failed at the argument.

Honest Hearts

Why would I visit a channel from a person who doesn't even know what actual music is.

Honest Hearts

I never said any of that. You're just butthurt because you think "T.I" is music when it's just trash.

ImTheTurtle1337

Insignificant prick thinks he's smarter then everyone else by insulting children.

CalypsoCatnip

....I'm female. And 25. You'd know that if you'd actually visited my channel. Dickhole.

CalypsoCatnip

It's a completely a capella cover done by the brilliant and talented Peter Hollens. Watch it before you piss on it, you presumptive asswipe.
