The tone from that alligatored, cracked top Martin complements his unique singing voice well.

"Let it all unbreak you to the day that you met her" gets me in the feels every time.

One of my favourite lyrics from any song ever written... "All I wanted was a sliver to call mine. All I wanted was a shimmer of your shine" Managed to verbalise that feeling when faced with rejection, listened to it probably a thousand times since with bittersweet enjoyment. Just a fantastic song

Sorry to ruin the mood, but i always thought he was singing, "And all I wanted was a slipper to call mine. And all I wanted was a shimmer of your shine, to make me bright" , but you're right now that i listen to the song without all the other instruments, just him, his voice, and a guitar. 3/26/2020

I don't know whether to laugh or cry with this song, seriously. Colin meloy has a fucking gift for emotionally pummeling you with both sides. Despite teenage romance vs lust, greed vs pride, birth vs turmoil, or hell, even star crossed lovers vs sociopathic ritual suicide. Every fucking time! These lyrics make me so emotionally conflicted!

Great song! Some of the chord progressions remind me of another song from another artist that I'm trying to remember. Suggestions?
@sarahgutierrez8459 9 жыл бұрын
To me the chord progressions sound like Crane Wife, also by Mr. Meloy with The Decemberists.
