| The Decemberists – The Rake's Song Lyrics

This song is a straight up knock off of a Violent Femmes song from the 80's. Straight down to the earnest simplicity of the song's composition. About the only thing The Rake's Song does differently from Country Death Song is not explore the protagonist's inner turmoil. That being said, I still enjoy both songs. |

First off, its "fewer trees, windows, leaves." Secondly, it's clearly about going home after and extended period of time.

This was actually the title track of his 2005 EP released on Anvil records in the UK. That was the year of G.W. Bush's inauguration for his second term after a rather heated campaign and election against John Kerry. Being the American that I am, I associate this song with that ellection and assume that's what it's about, as G.W. Bush was the one who sucked England into the war on Iraq and subsequently cost Tony Blair his job. So... yeah, that's my take on this. |
