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 they have 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!

and when the world needed them most… they returned
Happy sounding for a song about a final resting place. Cemeteries were places of reverence where families can picnic and celebrate. Not just a place to cry.
@@michaelwhite6689 so true
"You have carried them so well" gets me every time.
My son passed day before Christmas. My car radio didn’t work three days. This song popped on. A channel I don’t even listen to. I miss him so much. I love you son
You will see your baby one day again🙏🏼💙
AND James Mercer?! What a fantastic combination! Very Beach Boys.. Great stuff, y'all! 😁👍
Classic song! We need a new Decemberists album, please! ❤
Yes!
god yes we do
sounds like they working on it
June 14
june!
The Decemberists have been by far the best band in the world for the last 22 years, and they still are. I will see them again in May.
... Bit of an extreme statement but go off queen.
they're excellent. I don't know if I'd say best, but dang I'm just happy for a great new song from them.
@@matthewdennis1739 and that other new song is even better. It's proof that the Decemberists have finally gone back to what made me a fan of them in the first place: prog rock.
@@ChristopherBingham-xx8xl its great, I love both
certainly one of my favorite songs! Trouble is I've played it so many times I'm getting all sorts of solicitations for cremations and funerals.And I'm in that age bracket. But I love the song, one of favorites ever, funeral ads not withstanding.
And now you've said cremation and funeral in a comment, that's gonna super charge the ads!
Fantastic song!! I especially like the line 'somewhere out beyond these maladies in my head' :)
“contract malaria, meet at the burial ground” 👌🏼 classic
Instant classic.
“At least I think that’s what you said”: Blank headstone
Lmfaooo I love your sense of humor. 💀
And that last lyric:
“contract malaria, meet at the burial ground”
@@erichimes3062 That’s actually the lyrics! 😂
@@Dank-Hill I like how it wasn’t included on the scrolling headstones
@@erichimes3062 oh lol hahaha.
The perfect juxtaposition of a nice melody with dark lyrics.
It’s the best and happiest song I’ve ever heard about a cemetery. I wish I could give it a like every time I hear it.
Heard this on radio today, had to look it up.
Excellent song !
NEW SINGLE!?!?!? My day was bad and now it is good.
Nice song, the trumpet solo was great!
Heard this for the first time on Sirius XM. Had to look up the video and save it. Great song. Great melody!
I love how you can also hear "melodies" for "maladies". Love the song!
Such a decemberists thing to do lyrically, I love it every time!
The burial ground is the most beautiful and peaceful place on earth.
forty nine comments later, thanks to James Mercer and his falsetto. I haven't been this intrigued in years since The Hazards of Love. solid. ear worm worthy too.
Can't wait to see you in Vancouver. Bring the trumpet.
it's a flugel horn
Sounds like Sloop John B, not a bad thing.
Yea heavy Beach Boys/Brian Wilson vibe.
I'm glad others heard that influence.
First heard it on the radio and swore it was from a different era
Brb contracting malaria.
What a Great Song!!
Saw them for the first time in St Louis last week, the wife and I had such a good time that it only compounded on my regret of not getting into them 20 years ago. An insanely talented ensemble and the song writing is nothing short of brilliant.
I want to know who "Len" is.
I came to the comments to seek that answer
He’s the Capricorn
I will meet any one who wants to meet a the burial ground.
Very retro cool! Thanks! 🎻🙂🙂🙂🙂😎😎😎😎😎
With this song, I think of Beachboys meets the Shins. Decemberists seem to have a huge range though... If you see this listen to 'When the War Came'.
Yasss!
You've done it once again! 👏🏻 Can't wait to see you all in Philly!
screams beach boys, and I do love it. great lyrics, great summer song.
So excited to see them live in May ❤❤
Lucky!
Me too
Goood stuff
Good stuff
Yay!
I've been hearing this on the radio on my commute but the station's info scroll has been stuck on a Bob Marley song for 6 weeks so I couldn't figure out what it was. I finally remembered enough lyrics to google it and I can't believe I didn't recognize that it was The Decemberists. Its not like there is any other band that sounds anything like them.
Very cool
Amazing as always!
900th veiw! Love love love ur music! Was raised on it :3
Love this so much!
Отлично!
omg im so excited for the new album !! awesome song :DD
Can’t wait for the live show!
I am so excited to be seeing you guys live in Indianapolis this month.
Hoorah!! ❤❤❤
Brings me back. Reminds me why/how much I love you guys. Like a friend coming back after moving away for sometime. Great song. Looking forward to the new album.
it's very Beach Boys, nice
cool! A new song!
This song is quite catchy.
oooh a new song
Yay!!! I needed this. Thank you! Looking forward to hearing the rest of the new music.
PS. What would have been super funny is to have the names of all the dead characters from your songs on the headstones in the background. 🪦💀
There is *one* real gravestone in there! 😜
Cool lyric video! Reminds me of the Monty Python animated segments.
Who is Len? (And he steal my sunshine?)
🤝
Contract Malaria! Meet me at the Burial Ground
(They forgot the last lyric, which is my favorite part)
When the beach won’t do, goths head for the cemetery 😆
This sounds like it comes it from a different era
the return of Brian Wilson
😍😍
💕💕💞
reminds me of a beatles / fools garden vibe
I really want to do this one on karaoke night.
This reminds me a little of "Bird on a Wire" by Leonard Cohen. "And I swear/by this song/by all that I have done wrong..."
Wish I could see them in Milwaukee… oh well. Would love to see them in Green Bay sometime.
This world's all wrong ...
Let's go where we belong
The DeceBEATLESemberists. Song rules though.
Byrds
Can someone make a mashup of this and Hazy Shade of Winter. I know it’s just the “ground” rhyme making the connection in my head but I think it could work.
don't enthuse about your name being in a song don't enthuse about your name being in a song don't enthuse about your name being in a song GRAVEYARDS ARE REALLY COOL AND FUN

I NEED a new Decemberists album
Everything is so awful some Meloy whimsy would do my soul some good
Sloop John B. vibes
And Cotton Jenny by Gordon Lightfoot
and Smiths’ Cemetery Gates
@@erichimes3062 I was just gonna say.... Smiths vibes.
NEW ALBUM...SOON? we need it. Everything is terrible!
June 14
Most of it is already available. They've been playing the songs live and people have been recording the shows and posting them on youtube
Great song, but am I the only one who started singing "Sloop John B"?
So what’s the connection to Thomas Rhodes Armitage I wonder? 🤔😁
(The one headstone that *is* real)
Дивна песма.
🙏❤❤🀄🎶🎶❤❤🙏🌬💋💋🎶🎶🎶🀄🀄🀄
This video is visually beautiful but still sucks. And the music is wonderful, too. But it skips about a quarter of the lyrics. What the hell is this?I stopped listening at :55. I'd already heard it on the other official video and this was just an annoying tease. I hope some third party comes up with a full set of lyrics, even if it's all text.
Huh? The only skipped lyric is 2:06. And I am pretty sure that is an artistic choice since the line is kind of an aside. Unless you count them skipping oh’s and the backing vocals (which also don’t come in until after the first 55 sec).
@@zacox And the last line at 3:49.
I wonder if there are some secretive creative reasons for the two blank tombstones, or if it was just a sloppy screw-up.
@@lesferch blank tombstoned lyrics :06 - :13, the first 1.5 lines of the song. Again :46-:55. Again 1:42-147. 2:05-2:11. 3:50-3:50. These are all times when the singer is singing and there are no corresponding lyrics in fron of you.
Don't get me wrong. I love the Decemberists and this song. I've also watched the live version. I am looking forward to the release in June. I have everything they've already released. I have tickets to see them this summer... I just have a thing for reading lyrics because I don't always hear well...
@@SWabakken Actually there were five of them. Creative license, I guess...
This song is quite catchy.
