Why does this song sound exactly like A Bower Scene?
I can't decide if this is cheap, or if they use this melody every time someone is facing a challenge/there is danger in general (Margaret going into the taiga, the Rake crossing the river after abducting Margaret)?
Agh. Any thoughts??
Here's what I think. I say The Hazards of Love is sort of like a musical or an opera of sorts. You know how in some musicals, they'll have different tunes that reoccur throughout the whole thing? (I would say it's an overture, but I really think that the overture from The Hazards of Love is the title track.) I think that when Colin Meloy wrote The Hazards of Love he had that idea in mind and thusly styled it as such. I personally like it because it gives the songs some common musical themes. That's what I think.

It's probably a motif for whenever Margaret is in trouble.
