Heard this song starting and actually went, "Woo!" out loud, so I think I must like it.

One month later, head still hanging.  Cool bass and drum pattern though.

Is he going to hang his head low?  I mean, he only says it about 842 times, so I'm not sure.

Good song, though.

Let's make it 3 in an hour! I'm getting revved up to see them in concert tonight. I don't find Colin Meloy's voice annoying, as some do, in fact I quite like it, but I think he actually sounds better in person. What seems grandiose to some is the right size in a concert. As he's sung, he's "meant for the stage."

You can tell, listening to this song, especially the end, that the story continues... check out the full album. You'll thank me.
 
It tells a story based on an old Japanese tale according to Wikipedia.  I wonder, though, why The Crane Wife #3 starts the album while The Crane Wife #1 and 2 come much later.

On my list of stuff to buy when I win the lottery or marry that really rich guy who doesn't care how I look and only wants to buy me anything I want.

I love the Decemberists. Um, is this gonna be one of those Pink Floydish things that once I sink into it, I never come out again? Because if it is, I'll have to buy some pot-buoys or life-vests or something....

Seriously - I love the Decemberists, and I really do want to invest in some of their stuff. This will definitely be the first one of theirs I buy... {#Mrgreen}

Love this track! Especially the bass-line and the very last strum, just a minor detail but the guitar, bass-guitar and drums just hit the last note perfectly at the same time... {#Yes}

Great tune. More an 8.5 than 8...
I definitely have to check out more of their music and get hold on some CDs.

You are judging by my highest rated songs at this limited station as your determinant as to my personal music taste. You would be absolutely amazed were you to spend at least a couple of hours listening to Fredro radio (my own personal radio station) and realize that I listen to music from the earliest recordings of music at the turn of the century up until the latest releases from bands from every musical style, genre and literally every square inch of the globe. I just do not like these particular few bands that I mentioned. I do not use time, genre or any other generalized criteria to determine whether I like a song or a group or not, just my ears, just my ears...........{#Wave}
