    Structurally this is not a complicated song, it's true. It is however a thematically effective song, that is part of a long, structurally complicated piece of music. It's also quite a lot of fun.

    Just stumbled across this... just beginning to stumble across The Decemberists. I hate to draw comparisons but I hear a lot of House of Freaks in this song. Both great bands. R.I.P. B.Harvey and family.

    Damn, so casually and festively bleak, can't help but to like the to e and tempo, only afterword really realizing just how deeply dark and depraved it really is. I think I've found my new favorite band.

    • @MrSIRGEEOHH
      @MrSIRGEEOHH 6 лет назад +1

      Agreed, something strangely erotic about her beating that drum. Also the other woman to her left appears on Portlandia as the musician from Sparkle Pony.

    @milkandmeat I'll take a song with good lyrics, great harmony, and a complex story over a simplistic song about partying that might have some good guitar. Decemberists may be not too diverse on the guitar section but then again neither were the beatles. It isn't about that. Guitar complexity is last on my check list for a good band.

      Front is Becky Stark from Lavender Diamonds. She voices Margaret on the Hazards of Love album.
      Back in Black is Shara Worden from My Brightest Diamond. She voices the Queen.

    @jacobthelioneater this song is the same 2 melodies over and over and over and over for 3 minutes. that's just lazy. how many times can you really to a song like this and still enjoy it?
