About This Track

According to the Don’t Carry It All Songfacts, the song’s lyrics deal with Meloy’s attempts at horticulture. “My wife and I put in six garden plots at our new house and I feel like our entire first year was trying to watch the direction of the sun to figure out where we’d put the plots,” he explained to Spin magazine. “I think of it as a good little gardening song.”

"...Summer's freckled knee." "Bear your neighbor's burden within reason." Love it.

Makes a "fuck you" mindset seem petty and unneeded, doesn't it?

So good - I love old decemberists, don't get me wrong, but this might just be their best album to date... (or close second to the Crane Wife)

oh, so this is what it sounds like when someone tries to make a folk version of "wake up". this isn't bad by any means, but it doesn't hold a candle to arcade fire
