Along with other Decemberists CD's and DVD's. You won't be disapointed!
Hoepfully I'll be able to post more of these, let me know if you like them, this was the first song and the camera work was a tad shakey. I got better as the concert went along and I was less fearful of my camera being confiscated. ;-)
This song was written when Colin's son, Hank, was born. He's two now. Here are the great lyrics!
"Wonder"
My darling, what wonder have we wrought here?
It's weird and it's wonderful, dear
An ankle, an earlobe, an elbow bone
It's weird how it wonderful grows
And it was only me and you
That made this three come out of two
My darling, what wonder have we wrought here?
It's weird and it's wonderful, dear
Oooooo
Oooooo
A'tumblin' in Dublin and next thing you know
A weird and a wonderful show
All tendons and ribcabe and beating heart
A weird and a wonderful start
And it was only me and you
That made this three come out of two
My darling, what wonder have we wrought here?
It's weird and it's wonderful, dear
It's weird, but mostly wonderful, dear
truly one of the most amazing musicians on this planet.
His voice is AMAZING. It's so unique. Before you hear one word you know exactly who it is. He is awesome.
Oh, if only all musicians could learn from this man. My inspiration for life, I'm not kidding.
I remember listening to this music when I was younger. I didn't get into their music until about a year or so ago. Certian lines would stick in my mind, and this song stuck.
His voice is awesomeness and is one of my favorite
You know, I've yet to come across a Decemberists song I didn't love, but it's when he writes stuff like this, stuff that's directed towards people he loves, that pulls my heartstrings to places I never knew they could stretch. See also: Rise to Me.
I'll post more of the concert soon, mix it up a bit. This solo concert was awesome, but The Decemberists, his band, are fantastic. Thanks for checking it out!
You're absolutely right, he mentioned that at the show before he started singing.

Me too, but somebody already did that. She's pretty awesome too.
I took the "tumblin' in Dublin" to mean...er...them making the baby (so to speak) in Dublin, as the next line is "..and next thing ya know" like it was a lil' bit of a surprise, albeit a wonderful surprise.
I loved this song before of knowing it was about her daughter, now reading the lyrics I love it more.
Colin is great.
Thanks for the video.
For people I know that are into The Decemberists, his voice was never an issue.
Does anyone know how to play this song? He uses a 12 string guitar, but it should work OK on a standard 6 string guitar right?
dude, they have a son. Henry, "Hank"
@ravensky23 i prefer tarkio but he is amazing
