| The Decemberists – The Soldiering Life Lyrics

I agree with the hint of homoeroticism... this song is about the experiences of soldiers in the trenches, so it reminds me of WWI, and how those experiences bound them to the men beside him. The video for this song corresponds with this, where the happiest part of it comes with two (male) soldiers dancing together.
I love this song so much... |

At the Denver show at the Gothic Theatre this June, they played this song live and Colin Meloy introduced it by saying that it was about the coronation of a Spanish princess in 1824. It fits in well with their typical historical themes... the song itself is very upbeat, but throughout the lyrics all seem to suggest a sort of inevitable despair to me. |
