| The Decemberists – We Both Go Down Together Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| LAL completly could be the prequel because its going back to perhaps the reason that the two lovers commited suicide. "She wept, but her soul was willing" is of course them having sex, and therefore conceiving Leslie. "And my parents will never consent to this love" may not be the love itself rather the fact that they have a child on the way. Leslie was born prematurely, perhaps because the mother was so young and didnt have proper birthing help. Never in LAL does it mention that status of the mother or the father, and the fact that she was birthed in a dry ravine instead of at a home or something shows that this birth wasnt meant to be public. After the child died, the two lovers went on to commit suicide, maybe directly after the death of their child. The girl that died with me doesnt mean that she died during childbirth, because Leslie was buried in a shallow grave, and it could just mean that her mother didnt live much longer. The fact that there isnt anyone left to mourn her furthers the fact that no one was supposed to know about the pregnancy and the birth was probably a miscarriage, gone before anyone noticed the mother was pregnant. | |
