He's the original triple-threat: sings, plays guitars, and operates the elevator. Incredible!

his voice is better here than the album version

He looks pretty blazed.

This is how good Colin is . He can do this inn an elevator..

Colin is so adorable. His smile makes me smile. (:

This man never ceases to amaze me.

So beautifully done - love the moment when the door nearly closes, he's such a pro he just carries on! :D

this colin meloy fellow should make a band. his voice is very unique.

just saw them in concert two nights ago...was right up by the stage, Colin just banters with everyone, super charismatic, you couldn't meet a nicer guy. Not to mention talented!!

Colin Meloy is seriously one of my favorite musicians. Love his instrumentation, his voice is astounding, and his lyrics are poetic and beautiful.

I have been listening and watching this video for 15 years now and it sounds perfect still to this day

That makes two of us!

Colin and The Decemberists are amazing. I saw them live twice and they sound so freakin' great. Can't wait until they come around again!

"...and while your head is spinning, hold tight, it's just beginning..." :)

He can not sound bad any where! In a lift, with a hand help camera and he sounds amazing! Saw them live last night and they were mind blowing!

I almost skipped this song on my Pandora station but changed my mind. I'm so glad I didn't. This song is Gorgeous!

Not only was it was a good performance, but it made me laugh. I bet Colin Meloy is a damn fun guy to be around.

It's nice to hear just his voice and the guitar.

LOL @ 2:30!!!!! hahaha! ;) This is such a beautiful song. Great performance of it, too.

Love it when the elevator closes on him, haha. This was adorable and fun =)

he's so cute.

Meet me on my vast veranda, my sweet untouched Miranda...

Great!

I love this video :)

I think I'm in love with Colin xD Dammit Carson Ellis.

tis tru, this is great

I love his voice

So incredible!

hahaha, brilliant and original.

The decemberists are without question the best band in the world, and this man is withoht question the best singer/songwriter in the world. In my mind, anyway. Disagree if u want, I truly don't care.

when he says 'my love' he shifts his jaw. i love it for some reason. =P

Wonderful voice, great guitarist and very funny situation ! Oh my ! I'm a fan !!! ;D

@macklilly he messes them up slightly in the beginning. he says "i found you, parents wanton", and the line is usually "you come from parents wanton". its a tiny error thats hard to even notice, and i think it adds to colin's awesomeness. he's so adorable. plus it's his song so he can sing whatever he wants haha

Lyrical, Indy. Love it.

amazing!!! pure talent! his voice is soooo...idk lol but i love it!

❤❤❤❤❤

Love it.

Lol. The door closes on him. I lold.

Bahahaha he does a bit!! This is lovely.

Aaw I loved this vid, he's just great :D

Agreed. :3

@jennobunz I've since bought the album this song is from and like it a lot, had never heard of the group before. Colin's voice reminds me of Edward Kaspel of The Legendary Pink Dots, from the 80s.

playing in an elevator-very cool.

my day would be completely perfect if i walked into an elevator and collin meloy was singing. id be like "O.O wut"

*holds on* ^_^

Great acoustics in there..lol...awesome song!

reminds me of when I recorded songs in a tiny room

*sigh* I would so love to meet him... Even better, to duet Yankee's Bayonet with him... I really love the Decemberists...

How peculiar.. loved it. if only because i can see how he is doing the Am.. been having trouble with that

That's me in the corner
