    The backup vocalist really makes this song hit so much harder. Absolutely fantastic

    Bonus harmony on the final chorus brings the song to a rousing close.

      Who is that singing? You mean the female background vocal near the end right?

    One of the greatest songs I've heard in over 40 years of enjoying music. It made my summer extra special. Thank you.

    Great song by a talented "real" band who writes their own songs and play instruments. Thanks for sharing this video.

    This is such an awesome version of one of my favorite Decemberists songs! I actually discovered this song at a time in my life where the lyrics were almost perfectly able to describe a situation I was experiencing. Funny how that happens, isn't it? 🤔😉 Anyway, thanks for sharing this amazing live version of such a powerful song! Rock on!

    I would, I could, I do make everyone better. I know a few women. It's natural for them. Not so easy for me. You seem to sing right through me like Roger used to. My favorite song was gunners dream. Of course I still love it. I like everything you sing too. I wish you were more popular but I will be 10 or 12 years ahead

      @21rush12 9 років тому +1

      Torrey B Check out The Crane Wife. I don't like all their music but that is one solid album and not very much like the rest of their music.

    • @tvanb

    • @стрелок-ч7р
      @стрелок-ч7р 9 років тому

      Torrey B This is from their WEAKEST album. It's kind of bad, to a point. Check out some of their earlier albums, first 3 to be exact.

    Is it just me or is this a horribly lifeless performance of an amazing song? There just doesn't seem to be any energy to it
