The Decemberists – We Both Go Down Together Lyrics

20 years ago

well, i've not heard him say it, but i did read here http://www.thecuckoosegg.com/milosz/blog/2004/06/spending-warm-summer-days-indoors.html that it was described as a prequel. however, looking at the lyrics of both songs, it does not make sense. i think really only colin could explain this. i've seen people say that LAL involves a man of lower birth. but i don't see anything in the lyrics that would suggest that. really it seems more like the woman would be of lower birth. the song mainly involves the girl, not the parents anyway. so this whole lower birth thing seems more like conjecture. the only way i can see these two songs really connecting is if perhaps the girl doesn't actually die in WBGD2. it's told from the upper class male's perspective and he tells of his intention. but it doesn't mean it actually happened. anyway, this could be argues ad infinitum, only colin knows for sure. just enjoy the song.
