![The Decemberists - "Calamity Song" [Official Video - European Link]](/img/1.gif)
The Middle Section reminds me of the Allman Brothers like the Whipping Post but the Vocals are so haunting I love it so much
This is probably my favorite from Castaways and Cutouts. So beautiful and chilling. There are so many twisted, dark Decemberists lyrics but “And what do we do with ten dirty jews, a thirty-ought full of rock salt and a warm afternoon” is the only one I can think of that actually disturbs me every time I hear it. Something about the subtlety of it-you don’t know exactly what it means and you don’t really want to imagine.
I wish they would perform this more. I think in 14 years worth of shows I’ve heard it in person once.
Do you really not know what the line means, or are you referencing that it is slightly oblique?
I don't know what it means :)
It's reference to the holocaust, and how the Nazi guards would shoot prisoners with guns loaded with salt to torture them.
alternately you'd think the warm afternoon of the reprise of the lyric would have been swapped with the broken billiard cue in the inciting event. Similarly implicative.
Uh, the whole song is full of references to infanticide, rape, torture... so many lyrics that are utterly chilling, but it's a song about the fucking holocaust, so it'd be messed up if it wasn't chilling.
To see the December is in concert right at this moment 😊
Their music is so good that it makes me want to go sailing, but I actually don't want to because I get seasick. Great stuff anyway!
I remember downloading this on limewire
"Odalisque"
They've come to find you, Odalisque
As the light dies horribly
On a fire escape you walk
All rare and resolved to drop
And when they find you, Odalisque
They will rend you, terribly
Stitch from stitch 'til all
Your linen limbs will fall
Lazy lady had a baby girl
And a sweet it made
Raised on pradies, peanut shells and dirt
In a railroad cul-de-sac
And what do we do with ten baby shoes
A kit bag full of marbles and a broken billiard cue?
What do we do?
What do we do?
Fifteen stitches will mend those britches right
And them rip them down again
Sapling switches will rend those rags alright
What a sweet sound it makes
And what we do with ten dirty Jews
A thirty-ought full of rock salt and a warm afternoon?
What do we do?
What do we do?
Lay your belly under mine
Naked under me, under me
Such a filthy dimming shine
The way you kick and scream, kick and scream
And what do we with ten baby shoes
A kit bag full of marbles and broken billiard cue?
What do we do?
What do we do?
I’m on my way to the decemberists concert at the moment
reminds me of 2005
UpperCrustthe3rd I memba
Greatest song ever written?
Yes.
Very possible
+James Johnson Wouldn't go that far, but it's pretty cool.
Would agree 100%
One of the most important to be sure
no car no cellphone and no laptop yet - still with military. Go code blue. Evacuate without me. Dog is ready to look for survivors.
The greatest theremin song since "Good Vibrations". I just hate positive songs...
I think this is the only Decemberists song other than Sorry about Your Bicycle Stephen, that I really enjoy.
I would think this if and only if those were the only Decemberists songs I had ever heard
The breakdown in the middle of this song sounds a lot like Dream Theater. An odd couple if ever I heard one.
I don’t understand what in the world this song is talking about 😊
