    This is one of my favorite songs by The Decemberists because it is one of those that will stick in your mind. 😀

    I'm a weeping mess. I can't even speak words to say what this band has meant to me over the years. The day I got "What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World," is known as Decemberists day in my household, because my boyfriend had never seen me glow, weep, feel the way I did on my first listen to that album. (As well as most subsequent listens.) The Decemberists were my first love, and people still need to squish in with them to fit in my heart. Thank you for everything. I will be a devoted fan until the end of my days.

      +Miranda Peloquin You should go back and listen to their older stuff if you haven't already. You'll fall in love with them even more :)

      +Corruptangel Oh yes. Their very first album is wonderful, also Long Live the King and The King is Dead. Hazards of Love, though, is the first I heard; it made me fall in love with them instantly.

    Lyrics:
    "Have I ever lost your way?
    Have I ever left you waylaid?
    Have I ever come unstayed?
    Why would I now?
    There were times I loathed your name
    There were times I laid on the blame
    There were times I brought on shame
    Why would I now?
    For I will never be your familiar soul
    And I will never see your imperior hold
    But have I ever stood back and watched you fall?
    Ditched your call? Or caught you bent around?
    Why would I now?
    Have I ever steered you wrong?
    Have I ever strung you along?
    Have I ever kept you long?
    Why would I now?
    There were times I broke through the walls
    There were times I broke through it all
    There were times it felt so hard
    Why would I now?
    For I will never be your familiar soul
    And I will never see your imperior hold
    But have I ever stood back and watched you fall?
    Ditched your call? Or caught you bent around?
    Why would I now?
    Though the years they may upbraid you
    How it all nearly unmade you, laying down
    Why would it now?
    Remember when it all went dark
    Remember when it first rent apart
    Remember how I held my mark
    So why wouldn't I now?
    For I will never be your familiar soul
    And I will never see your imperial hold
    But have I ever stood back and watched you fall?
    Ditched your call? Or caught you bent around?
    Why would I now?"

    I don't see why everyone thinks they got bad after King is Dead. There are a ton of great songs on that album, the EP that came with it, and their latest. Do people just have that same pouty hipster "their older stuff was better" attitude with everything?

    • @yharnamhunter8759
      @yharnamhunter8759 9 років тому +3

      That's got to be it, because their recent outings have been great. The Decemberists are a band that is still going strong.

    • @summerinspringville-hill
      @summerinspringville-hill 9 років тому +1

      Tbh I didn't think "what a terrible world, what a beautiful world" was all that great but this song is fantastic.

    • @mattheckler9841
      @mattheckler9841 9 років тому

      +BANE? I think The King is Dead is wonderful. Their second best album after Picaresque. That said, I think 'What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World' is BY FAR their worst record. I still give it like a 7/10, but it was a disappointment for me. That isn't to say there aren't a few great songs on it (Make You Better, The Lake Song, Mistral), but there are also really bad songs.

    • @blazeytown4444
      @blazeytown4444 9 років тому

      +Matt Heckler I guess it's just a matter of personal opinion. Still, people who act like their discography has been a downward slope are just plain dumb.

    • @mattheckler9841
      @mattheckler9841 9 років тому +2

      I don't think it makes them dumb it just makes their opinion different from yours and mine.

    Have I ever lost your way?
    Have I ever left you Elaine?
    Have I ever called and stayed?
    Why would I now?
    There were times I load your name
    There were times I laid on plain
    There were times I brought on shame
    Why would I now?
    But I will never be your familiar soul
    and I will never see your interior whole
    But have I ever stood back and watched you fall?
    Ditched your call? Cut you, bend around?
    Why would I now?
    Have I ever ‘stand you wrong?
    Have I ever strong you a line?
    Have I ever get you alone?
    Why would I now?
    There were times I go through the walls
    There were times I broke through it all
    There were times it felt so hard,
    Why would I now?
    But I will never be your familiar soul
    and I will never see your interior whole
    But have I ever stood back and watched you fall?
    Ditched your call? Cut you, bend around?
    Why would I now?
    Lucky is the day I prayed you
    How it all really unmade you land down
    Why would now?
    Remember when it all went dark
    Remember when it first ran apart
    Remember how I held my marks
    So wouldn't I now?
    But I will never be your familiar soul
    and I will never see your interior whole
    But have I ever stood back and watched you fall?
    Ditched your call? Cut you, bend around?
    Why would I now?

      +Dżon Watson Another take on it. I think you got most of it, but some of it is really hard to figure out.

      +Sarah Lancaster That seems better! When I listen to it I hear "I will never see your imperial gold" after the familiar soul bit but no idea if that's right. Other than that I've got no clue what he says in your other question marks!
