BTW, if you love this, give Sara Watkins some love - her solo work, and Nickel Creek are just fantastic.
I just love when Sarah sits in with the Decemberists. Awesome!
I was just going to say... this song sounds celtic to me. This is my favorite version... Sarah's backup vocals and violin fit perfectly!
Discovered this band 4 months ago and I feel like I ve had a religious experience. My life has changed. I ve bought a steel string acoustic and cant stop singing their brilliant inspiring songs. Hear them and feel great. Sing their songs and feel great. Next I gonna start chanting their name LOL. Seriously, these guys are so special. God bless them for what they bring to their fans.
I love hearing this played acoustic. It's beautiful, really, stripped down like this.
Yeah
definitely my favorite version of this great song
I love the violin. I love her voice.
I love the sound. I love this song.
I've listened to this song 8 times in a row no. It's like a stress reliever for some reason! It's just so calm and soothing!
Colin always looks like he's straining, but then his voice flows out so easy...jeez. I'm jealous.
Sara nails it. I love Nickel Creek and The Decemberists.
I Love how hard he closes his eyes when he belts the lyrics right around 4:00. SO intense. I cannot get enough of this song.
This song gives me chills when I hear it.
OH MY GOD THIS SONG ROCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS MEANING IS SYNONYMS WITH ANYBODYS CAUSE THEY DEAM IT NECESSARY TO FIGHT FOR !
The first time I heard this song was at Dollar General in a late afternoon. The lyrics along with the music video shout a powerful and important theme to me . Colin Meloy is such a genius with the making of this song , this song truly makes me want to live life to the fullest , as other people dont have much to enjoy due to obstacles in their lives such as poverty and cancer..Thank you and may God bless you.
"when we die,we will die with our arms unbound"-i love this line
Rebecca Weiß I have this tattooed on my arm
Makes me whole
The Decemberists & Sara Watkins! Awesome!!! :-D
The Decemberists are just amazing live. Few people sound as good live as they do in the studio - The Decemberists are one of those few that do.
This is a great song. His voice is platinum.
chilling... the truth is chilling, the thrill of our age of unreason
the more you strip the song of electronics the more impactful & beautiful it becomes. Absolutely Sara weaves in naturally, great video & collaboration. Definitely a music moment to share.
Well, I would say they have their own style rich in Celtic and nord influences not to mention REM is one of their biggest inspirations. In fact, the guitarist from REM is on this album. I have been around world class musicians my whole life and these guys are amazing!!! Maybe it just doesn't suit your tastes.
Amen ............ I discovered them 4 years ago or so - still I am enJoyed with a degree of religious experience.............. God bless them truly! The official video of this song is superb - many of their works are transcendent - let's build our walls aluminum, let's fill our mouths with cinnamon!
Just a wonderful version of this song. Thanks
clear as water. A really nice cyrstal piece.
Amazing song. Crystal clear vocals. The band shows aged talent. Wonderful!
Meloy said the song was about miners and workers rights. So I imagine it's about labor disputes, fighting and getting killed for simple basic things like limited work weeks, no child labor, the right to go on strike and not get arrested, etc. Not quite as dramatic as a war to make the world safe for democracy. It fits with the Decemberists style to tell a story from the perspective of the people in it. To them, this would've been important enough to justify the dramatic imagery.
Just freakin' unbelievable...stumbled on this listening to Sara Watkins videos...so glad I did...
sooo goood decemberists FTW!!!
Absolutely stunning 😊😃❤️🎶🎶🎶
Why isn't this more popular? Why aren't they're songs on the radio 24/7?

Just posting a big big up to this
I just saw the Decemberists for the fourth time tonight. It was no doubt that this was the best concert I've ever been to. I love them so much.
I love it
Nice!
Fuckin amazing band, loved em from the 1st day i heard it on 94.9 drove straight 2 lou's records 2 buy it. my friend stole my c.d. so i have 2 buy another c.d. now!
Sick
Still top notch, Sara looks so beautiful....
I may have to go to the Betty Ford clinic to get off the Decemberists. I m a fully paid up addict and you aint helping with awsome video uploads like this sirus. I watched, I listened and it felt so wrong but sooo right. The Decenberists, the king of guilty pleasures !
@OTAS99 thanx! i posted with my brother's profile, this is mine. funk is playing the guild F-512. we don't have guild in brazil, that's why i had a hard time trying to figure the logo out! anyway, thanks again!
@OTAS99 Colin's is a Gibson Montana Gold, a pretty expensive limited run guitar with a Gibson Jumbo body.
wow :)
During the Winter Uprising here in Wisconsin a few years ago, when our tea party governor began to lay waste to our culture, our social structure, and our state, as we marched week after week in the tens of thousands, it was not uncommon to hear a little patch of people here and there sing "When we die, we will die with our arms unbound. This is why, this is why we fight. Come hell." For me, this was the protest song of that time.
I knew she looked familiar, I miss Nickle Creek! I love The Decemberists so much.
When we die in a blaze of nuclear fire, remember us along with the strength we had against the corruption of government, our freedom of speech, and our acceptance of every religion and culture in the world.
For some reason i always imagine that theres actually a dj in space for satellite radio and they brought the Decemebrists to their sattelite to preform.
The anthem of all those who are fighting for the NHS
How did Sara Watkins end up touring with The Decemberists? A wonderful collaboration, nonetheless!
KJOCardinalFan Jenny Was Fighting Cancer.
Hell is coming. Remember why you fight. You will need it in the coming days.
yes brother
Yeah
You had no idea
This song still gives me patriotic chills every time I hear it. To me it is about America, the UK, and the entire UN for that matter.
I didn't know George Costanza played the guitar! How old is this video?
i feel that if REM and Placebo fused together they would make the decemberists.
i love this song and this version but without that bass line is not as deep
@DavidSteagall91
Far as I can tell the one is a Guild and the other a Gibson. You'll have to go online and match pics.
@chrismissiles I really cannot fathom why
@daveeeeeeeeeed1 Adds resonance :D
which guitar is chris funk playing? i mean, brand, model and etc.
how did u get that
@chrismissiles Okay, they have talent...
anyone else notice Sara's right hand? She have a temper and punch a wall or something?!?!
The violinists knuckles are all cut up o_0
I take it that that is a reference to "Ode On A Grecian Urn"... but I never understand poetry. If you says it's about miners I believe you, but never would have gotten it. I don't get stuff... sigh. Good song though.
@ 3:53 female singer messes up.....just like me when I try to sing that verse. LOL.
MO Female singer is Sara Watkins - of Nickel Creek. One of the most successful folk bands in the last twenty years.
+freeme10 and she is so hot; check her out in Tiny Desk concert; braless
+MO Her voice is beautiful, plaintive, and haunting.
I hate when people say oh colin is a go well what about chris funk or Jenny
Am I mistaken or is there a shot of busted up knuckles during the first round of "this-is-why-we-fights"?
jrcenina85 You're going crazy
@avedanave That's not irony.
@Captainslav Exactly! This is why those thugs in Libya and Somalia are fixin to see the sharp end of a yankee bayonet! Come hell... Freedom, liberty, justifiable rights.
wheezy?
he looks like a younger stephen king.
y did he get his hair cut :'(
Hey fellow redditor, why are you reading the comments section on youtube? I think you mean to be reading the comments section on Reddit! Just a friendly reminder to return to Reddit and read our better comments there!
Very very cool. No beard though? Bring back the beard!
Whats with the chicks busted knuckles?
Why does the backing guitarist always look unimpressed?
anyone else notice the people milling around in the background?? they're sort of distracting...
LOL I've watched this video dozens of times but i didn't notice them until I read your comment.
now I can't unsee them!!!
The girl is a pretty good singer
She is...and lovely...talented....great
he's gained a bit of weight since the last time i saw him
