    People from the band could not find better name for the album than What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World. It shows conflicts of beautiful and terrible world and this is what the best describes the inner world of their songs. With elegant melodies that hey served for people like us can be this planet still quite a pleasant place to live, sometimes.

    lyrics:
    I want you, thin fingers
    I wanted you, thin fingernails
    And when you bend backwards
    I wanted you, I needed you
    Oh-oh, to make me butter
    I'll love you in springtime
    I lost you when summer came
    And when you pulled backwards
    I wanted you, I needed to
    Oh-oh, to make me butter
    Oh-oh, to make me butter
    But we're not so starry-eyed anymore
    Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
    And won't it all just come around to make you
    Let it all unbreak you to the day you met her
    But it'd make you butter
    It'd make you butter
    I sung you, your twinges
    I suffered you, your tattletales
    And when you broke sideways
    I wanted you, I needed you
    Oh-oh, to make me butter
    Oh-oh, to make me butter
    But we're not so starry-eyed anymore
    Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
    And won't it all just come around and make you
    Let it all unbreak you to the day that you met her
    And it'd make you better
    Did it make you butter?
    Make you butter
    And all I wanted was a sliver to call mine
    And all I wanted was a shimmer in your shine
    To make me bright
    'Cause we're not so starry-eyed anymore
    Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
    Won't it all just come around and make you
    Let it all unbreak you to the days you met her
    But it'd make you butter
    It'd make you butter

    Great song - the video, if one watches without puristically listening to the music, is brilliantly done. Bill Fishman / whoever came up with the storyboard has clearly put intricate thought into this. Each piece has meaning and it's well produced. Anyone who knows anything about production can see how cleverly it's been done. There will be those who disagree, but from this viewer, much appreciated.

      Javier Hernandez O Band of Horses is much farther from Death Cab than the Decemberists are. Death Cab has more of a simplistic pop appeal and Band of Horses is pretty spacey sounding. Idk... I think people get into trouble when trying to argue that "X band sounds like Y band" because the factors that come into play in someone's interpretation are usually far different from others. In fact, most songs from early Decembrists albums sounds wildly different from this song, and Colin's voice is really the only unifying factor that can help us to determine that it is in fact the Decemberists. Human's propensity to plop things into categories doesn't seem to work all too well with music, even at a genre level. So let's just stop, relax and listen, mkay? =)
