Cass McCombs – The Executioner's Song Lyrics 14 years ago
Taking away the morbid context of the video and the title of the song, to me it just sounds like a beautifully flowing song about someone that is content with work and love… accepting and appreciating the good he/she receives?! In a 'money is not all that important to happiness' sort of way?!

Not sure why it is called the executioner song or why a hanging is part of the song in the video… I think it is quite comical that these things got put together- song- title- hanging. Maybe in a strange and bizarre world someone that is getting paid to ‘kill’ (in the broadest sense of the meaning) is grateful and justifies this as it being just a job to make ends meet.
