The Decemberists é uma banda de indie pop criada na cidade de Portland, Oregon. Embora os Decemberists sejam geralmente classificados como indie pop, eles percorrem estilos musicais tão variados como rock progressivo e folk, utilizando instrumentos peculiares como o xilofone, o acordeão e o contrabaixo acústico. Suas letras fogem da angústia e introspecção do rock atual, contando histórias sobre personagens fantásticos e melancólicos como piratas

Am Down by the lake We were overturning pebbles G And upending all the animals alight Am And I took a drag From your cigarette and pinched it Tween my finger and my thumb G Till it died AmG And the sun burned low on the radio Am Say that you will Say you will or will you won't Or you whatever you prevaricate G Your whole life don't you Am This much I can say I would've waited till the oceans Fell Away and all the sunken cities G Would reveal themselves to you Am But you won't will you G Because you never do Am And the sun burned through G Sweet as honeydew Em And I DC Seventeen and terminally fey BmAm I wrote it down and threw it all away C Never gave a thought to what I'd paid Em And you DC Sibylline reclining in your pew BmAm You tattered me you tethered me to you C The things you would and wouldn't do G To tell the truth I never had a clue
AmG
Am Now we arise To curse those young suburban villains G And their ill-begotten children from the lawn Am Come to me now And on this station wagon window Set the ghost of your two footprints G That they might haunt me when you're gone Am And when the light broke dawn G You were forever gone Am But I remember you you were full G You were full and sweet as honeydew Em And I DC Seventeen and terminally fey BmAm I wrote it down and threw it all away C And never gave a thought to what I paid EmDC And you all sibylline reclining in your pew BmAm You tattered me you tethered me to you C The things you would and wouldn't do G You noticed how I never had a clue Never had a clue You were full and sweet as honeydew You were full and sweet as honeydew
