When I bought my car almost 10 years ago, someone left a Decemberist CD in the CD player. This was the first song that played. I sold that car recently and I miss it dearly. When I hear this song, I think of the time I first test drove that car.

Is that a Sing the Sorrow avatar? I love love love that album so much! When are AFI going to make more new music? Anyway I'd call the Decemberists a mix of alt rock and folk rock although they dabble in all sorts of genres.
@FabulousKilljoy4 жыл бұрын
Witness Me Yes!! I *love* AFI. I’m not sure when they’re putting out new music, but they released the Missing Man EP in December (gee, I didn’t even realize it’d been that long!). It wasn’t my favorite, but it was better than a lot of the Blood Album imo. And yeah, I call the Decemberists folk/indie rock. Sorry, I didn’t see this till just now

I think this song is about the freedom and importance of the press. Because no matter what the US says “is so”, the anchorman on tv can still say “la di da di da di diddle diddle da” or make it less “so”.
@MrSandman91515 жыл бұрын
I think it has more to do with the US abuse and misuse of power, and the way in which everyone just ignores it all. They all get on with their day, none the wiser or just plain apathetic to it. Just my take anyways. There are many ways to interpret these lyrics.
