and now... THIS IS HOW I AM REPAID?!

[luciazephyr]

I had to drive into the City today to pick up a book for Mum. So I put on Hazards of Love before going, first time I had the chance to hear it.

... Um. WOW. "The Wanting Comes in Waves/Repaid" may be the Decemberists Crowning Music of Awesome. The entire album was amazing. Just... wow. I loved them before, but this was their magnum opus. Bravo.

Also, looking at people's lyrical interpretation, I am quite saddened. I thought the guy in "Wanting" took the deal with his mother and never returned to his mother, so he grew up to be the Rake, and-- yeah, no. Fuck, I like my version better. I AM STICKING TO IT, MELOY. MY VERSION OF THE STORY'S BETTER.

...... You know what

I hate you.

I would kill to see "Wanting Comes in Waves/Repaid" live. omg.

How do they do "Hazards of Love (Revenge!)" on stage?

They play the instrumental bits (Colin beating on a huge drum! \o/), but the vocals are (lamely enough) the prerecorded ones on the album. Slightly disappointed was I, not finding a small gaggle of urchins dragged onstage ;__;

Unfortunately, between the lack of sleep and the way work has been pwning my life, I have not got around to it. But! I do have vids from the show that a kind soul near the front recorded, and will be providing them in the near future. Includes Colin being a motherfucking rockstar, headbanging, Shera (the Queen) being tiny and awesome and owning the stage, and the general state of insanity that is a Decemberists live perfomance.

*nods* I adore that song too. The Decemberists are AMAZING.
