The Rake's Song by The Decemberists

“To be honest, I'd never listened much to the Decemberists beyond this song & a few others until a friend recently suggested I listen to the Hazards of Love album. I'm hooked. Great stuff.”

This song is extremely disturbing. A fine, fine piece of gothic wrapped up in crunchy pop rock.   1

If you only listen to one song about infanticide today...

This was what I intended to jam to no avail.... Marianne Faithful/Nick Cave's version of 'The Crane Wife' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CBIdd0JJ3M&list=RD02zdIppuc5up4 I've jammed 'The Rake's Song' before, but it's what I'm listening to now so it is my jam once again. Enjoy!   10

Safe to say that I'd like The Decemberists about 2,000X more if all of their songs sounded like this one....   4
