Burial Ground lyrics:
Oh Len, come down
And meet at the burial ground
They’ve undid the aerial
Tore down the merry-go-round
This world’s all wrong
So let’s go where we belong
Pack up the stereo, meet at the burial ground
Here among the fallen leaves
Are we alone the ones that dare to breathe?
Throw your worries down, they’re oh so gravely held
You have carried them so well
Len, come down
And meet at the burial ground
They’ve undid the aerial
Tore down the merry-go-round
This world’s all wrong
So let’s go where we belong
Pack up the stereo, meet at the burial ground
You laid down below a stone
Saying, “Wherever he has gone, I long to go.
Somewhere out beyond these maladies in my head.”
At least I think that’s what you said.
Len, come down
And meet at the burial ground
They’ve undid the aerial
Tore down the merry-go-round
This world’s all wrong
So let’s go where we belong
Pack up the stereo, meet at the burial ground
Len, come down
And meet at the burial ground
They’ve undid the aerial
Tore down the merry-go-round
This world’s all wrong
So let’s go where we belong
Pack up the stereo, meet at the burial ground
Contract malaria, meet at the burial ground!

The Decemberists official bio:
For 20 years The Decemberists have been one of the most original, daring, and thrilling American rock bands. Founded in the year 2000 when singer, songwriter, and guitarist Colin Meloy moved from Montana to Portland, Oregon and met bassist Nate Query, keyboardist Jenny Conlee, and guitarist Chris Funk, The Decemberists’ distinctive brand of hyperliterate folk-rock set them apart from the start with the release of their debut EP 5 Songs in 2001. After making their full-length debut with Castaways and Cutouts in 2002, the band signed with Kill Rock Stars for the release of the acclaimed albums Her Majesty the Decemberists (2003) and Picaresque (2005), which was produced by Chris Walla. The 2004 EP The Tain-an 18-minute single-track epic-made the band’s grand creative ambitions clear.
Around this time the band’s permanent line-up fell into place with the arrival of drummer John Moen, and they made the unexpected leap to Capitol Records for their first major label album in 2006. Fans’ concerns of whether the band would alter their trademark sound quickly vanished when they delivered their most ambitious and audacious record to date in The Crane Wife, a song cycle produced by Walla and Tucker Martine (who would become a longtime creative partner) that added elements of ‘70s prog, hard rock and even quasi-disco to their palette.
Three years later, The Hazards of Love - a full-length concept album based on Meloy’s idea for a stage musical - was a Top 20 hit. In 2011, they topped themselves yet again with their first #1 album, The King Is Dead, which featured the GRAMMY-nominated song “Down By The Water.” After their 2015 album What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World, which included the #1 AAA radio hit “Make You Better,” The Decemberists changed up their sound and explored new approaches to making music on their eighth studio album I’ll Be Your Girl (2018) with producer John Congleton.
Over the past 20 years The Decemberists have toured the world, performed at countless major festivals, and even founded Travelers’ Rest a festival of their own curation in Missoula, Montana. The band has appeared on The Simpsons, collaborated with Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda, and released their own crowd-funded board game Illimat.
Thanks for watching my video. I gathered all the videos I shot at this show in a UA-cam playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLwdc0qZNx0tbndxFMDblYXJvsFrrHmE3c.html. The songs are Leslie Anne Levine, Song For Myla Goldberg, William Fitzwilliam (new song), Lake Song, Burial Ground (live debut), Down By The Water, Make You Better, Severed, 12/17/12, and Ben Franklin's Song. Enjoy!
Thanks for posting. I used the live version to listen to in preparation for a " Benefit Performance" @ Space recently!
What a beautiful song!
"contract malaria" was a stellar addition :-)
I was wondering if I was the only one to notice this!
This is a great song, I heard it on the radio today and fell in love with it!
I’m so excited. I have been wanting to see The Decemberists live for over a decade. I’m finally going by to see them in SLC tomorrow, and I’ve never been more excited!! To know they’ll be playing new songs makes me even more pumped!! Thank you for posting these!!
same!! headed to the slc show tomorrow!
Just bought a ticket for the Atlanta show. This song gives me acoustic Pixies vibes.
Amazing song. ❤❤❤
Will be worth the waiting since I'll be your Girl album. A delicate album in my ears. This song is just what we want to hear.❤
I just love this song!! Just heard it for the first time, on a college radio station today.
I knew about Black Mariah and William Fitzwilliam, but didn’t know about this song til the announcement today!!!
Heard this in Smashburger today. In Mesa, Arizona.
Fun to see this version. Recording is so much better!
Great song and it sounds even better live with the accordion!
GENIUS
lovely song
This is out now! Very exciting.
I'm super excited for their first new music in 6 years, but to be honest, I liked the live version of Burial Ground more than the new studio version. The latter sounds a bit busy and cluttered to me. Maybe it will grow on me though.
Trying to decide if I wanna see them in Milwaukee coming up. This song makes me lean “yes”
you should!
They have a way of making up songs that sound like found objects, like standards. Instant classics, I guess that's the phrase
The accordion is killing me 🌬💋💔💓💥💫
They performed this when I saw them in LA! Hope it gets a studio release someday, it's a really fun song
It did
I wish they liked Chicago more, I couldn't love *them* more. They didn't play this for us. STILL, best birthday I could have wished for. 🎂
They played June Hymn though. I will die if they play it in New York.
A couple of references to The Smiths' Cemetery Gates, which is a good thing.
A great song, thank you. Disappointing the cam stayed on the lead fellow for the first three minutes.
Hi Terence, as the saying goes, you can't please everyone all of the time. If I go wide too much, then people drop off because all the band members are too small on the screen (I've seen this borne out in the data). On the other hand, if I stay close on the lead singer and take advantage of this zoom lens, then some folks say they wanted to see the whole band. Now, if I had a professional setup with more than one camera, I could cut away from closeups to wide shots, but I'm just a fan doing this as a hobby. Cheers and best wishes.
@@TimBracken Yeah, I get that. Thanks.

Can anyone tell what the lyric after "Meet at the burial ground" is? " the aerial"?
I'm stumped... I hear "They ***-did the aerial." The stereo they refer to could have a radio antenna (aka aerial)?
Sounds like...They've undid the aerial... not grammatically correct but who knows.
Someone else online suggested "pocket the aerial" which makes more sense, but I'm not sure I hear the "P."
I think it's "plugged in" but I'm not sure.
@@abstractgrant Oh wow, that does make sense!!
they missed the last line about malaria.
The Island is a masterpiece. It ruined me for this crap.
Love this song, but he did hit several flat notes in this performance.
What's wrong with that? It's not a recording...
Can't stand Colin as a person but he's a very good songwriter
Why don’t you like him
Do you know him ?
@@lezzlemynezzle Mercury Saturn is a longtime fan and has a strong disagreement with Colin (and other Decemberist fans) about politics and alienating conservative fans, especially since the IBYG tour cycle
@@ToaPohatuNuvaconservatives not being snowflake crybabies impossible challenge
Longtime fan and have enjoyed their live shows before the lectures started. Total buzzkill. Colin is a songwriting genius and a political idiot.
Wow, looks boring. I like them, but wouldn’t see them live. Snooze fest.
