The Decemberists - Rise To Me. A visual celebration of Colin Meloy's ode to self and family, including wife Carson Ellis and their son Henry.

Lyrics:

Big mountain, wide river, there's an ancient pull

These tree trunks, these stream beds, leave our bellies full

They sing out, I am gonna stand my ground

You rise to me and I'll blow you down

I am gonna stand my ground

You rise to me and l'll blow you down

Hey Henry, can you hear me? Let me see those eyes

This distance between us can seem a mountain size

But boy, you are gonna stand your ground

They rise to you, you blow them down

Let me see you stand your ground

They rise to you, you blow them down

My darling, my sweetheart, I am in your sway

To cold climbs, come spring time, so let me hear you say

My love, I am gonna stand my ground

They rise to me, you'll blow them down

I am gonna stand my ground

They rise to me, and I'll blow them down

Cause I am gonna stand my ground

You rise to me and I'll blow you down

I love this song! The Decemberists is now my favorite group!! They are simply amazing! I saw them in Nashville and being a songwriter who sees many acts, they put on an amazing display of entertainment! I love Colin and the Band!! Buy the King is Dead! It's the best album of this decade and one of my top 10 of all time!!
