The Decemberists - Burial Ground (Official Audio)

[@DonnaM-qu1vj]

I’m obsessed with this song. Love it

[@juliebirdgirl9059]

I love it so much, too!! I can see the 'Movie' in my head!

[@GnomeThrower]

Sames. They are playing tomorrow near me too - oh well

[@hobbies2seriously]

This song reminds me of my father. He passed nearly 2 years ago. He would have loved this song. Thank you

[@seandegidon4672]

Lord rest and keep him. 🙏📿

[@roomie1120]

My condolences to your late father, I too lost mine unfairly.

I turned 50 this summer and I am a father of two daughters. I just discovered this song and I LOVE it!

[@Mirokuofnite]

Same. Mine passed on the 4th of July 2022, and he would've loved this song.

[@scanman975]

This song is awesome! Got a Beach Boys "Sloop John B" vibe going here.

[@konstantingona8235]

and okkervil river maybe 😂

[@nonsuchned94]

@@konstantingona8235 If you're familiar with it, it's obvious, but Sloop John B is, itself, an adaptation of an older song from 1916, so the tune is well in the public domain.

[@konstantingona8235]

@@nonsuchned94 idk what's going on here, but in copyright context- if there's a copyright on sloop john b, it won't matter at all, yet first of all, there would need to be proof that burial ground was not only referring to, but actually copying sloop john b, which is imo not the case. as you know i guess...

[@juliebirdgirl9059]

My thoughts are that this song by the Decemberists, will become an anthem for all of us of a certain age....!!! " For the Ages' !! ... We will 'Party on' and celebrate.... It's perfect. It's a dance it's a 'blessing' and a party ... All we Love... I hope to be there to dance and sing....

[@Endwithafall]

It sounds like snow melting as Spring arrives.

[@anomalees]

one would only hope & faith.

[@matthewbechtel9024]

It sounds like people returning to the forest. So much rotting matter, but also peace and tranquility away from the shit show of humanity

[@tomwitty465]

Gorgeous 60s folk-pop vibes.

Loving this... First time or two hearing I thought it's probably an old song by the Byrds... Great track! 🍻

[@krystalharris79]

I just fell in love with this song tonight! 🥰💯💥

[@alexiospliatsios5669]

The Byrds meeting The Beach Boys

[@lawsenduerre8795]

Can't describe how happy I am to see new Decemberists music! Certainly my favorite band!

[@Tia619]

Heard this play on the Spectrum channel on XM the other night and have been playing it on repeat ever since. Great song!

[@juliebirdgirl9059]

Indeed!! It's an Anthem!!

[@timvandenbrink4461]

Same!

[@Dan-ji4db]

Same, heard this on the spectrum today and been playing it on repeat

[@johnfdm123]

This one really sticks in your head.

[@pbarcher]

I have been playing it at least 3-4 times a day for a week? Two weeks? On repeat, sometimes!

[@ismaelsoto9680]

My favorite song atm

[@nicolescreativelife6322]

This is a partnership that's gonna get us through 2024. How can you not smile listening to this?

[@adamk897]

They're back and also never left

[@Idontcaremuch1000]

I'm so glad to hear new music from you all! ❤

[@evilspoons]

Getting good Beach Boys vibes here. Looking forward to the album.

[@rdtapt]

Same. Sloop John b. Not mad about it.

[@michaelskurski912]

Nice jangle pop

[@Mariana-st2kr]

I thought it was a BB cover

[@janinefpack]

[@jeremy.wilson]

The Decemberists and James Mercer teaming up for a song? I'm so glad this happened!

[@jamiemasters7401]

I thought it couldn’t get better than the chorus - and then the brass hit!

[@ZosoLU]

Surprise horn solo!

[@rateeightx]

Man James Mercer's voice works so well with Colin's, I hope they collaborate more in the future.

[@Michaelvan-x1r]

Played on "Sunday Jukebox", April 21, 2024 ~ BeFM ~ Busan, South Korea

James Mercer in the back ground 😍

[@multicaruana]

This is such a fine song. It really hit me, not sure exactly what it means, but it seems to convey something special, nostalgia...love it!

[@LauraOlds-y8e]

You guys made my Valentine’s Day much better

[@jeffanderson546]

The harmonies, arrangement...heaven!

[@cleary_hazy]

They've done it again, why am I crying? 😅

[@40tofit14]

My daughter loves you guys ❤️ she's excited you're back!

[@parzooman]

This song is next-level good. There is quite literally nothing wrong with this song at all.

[@anomalees]

wouldn't a Shins + Decemberists tour collaboration be on the horizon? 🎸 .

[@boostermoongazer]

I'd be gone for good 😉

[@JamesAlee-no9tq]

So far this has to be the coolest song to come from the 20's!

[@thegniffen4645]

Sweet song beautifully produced. The soft horns are a nice surprise.

[@darthvegan435]

Beautiful, but not sure how 'sweet' it is... seems to me like its about a suicide pact...

[@tomcat3360]

Got me up and dancing! Love the retro 60's pop sound.

[@catfork9269]

I am beyond hyped right now

[@michaelmemmelaar4937]

Like the Beach Boys chose to cover a whimsical Death Cab For Cutie darkness anthem. Raw perfection.

[@neilriddell2171]

Welcome back!

[@niteowl9491]

omgggg new Decemberists music?! and its a fun whimsical upbeat tune about chillin in the graveyard? fuck yeaaaah I'm ready

[@brianwood7237]

I'm a sucker for the mid-60s California and British pop that I was raised on this song it's just so good

[@shadowl.dragmire8531]

I'm so happy! new Decemberest song wasn't on my 2024 bingo card!

[@CorporalTunnel]

So excited to see them in concert again this year. Such an upbeat tune

[@stefymarty]

Been hearing this on The Spectrum lately and turning it up louder each time. Beauty.

[@alanfeldberg]

No one else sounds like these legends! Welcome back

[@j.p.fitting9226]

Listening to this song as we drive into Seattle with the rain howling down great song for a great town very reminiscent of the birds gram parsons all the good ones

[@S.D.R.84]

We miss you dad.. 😢

[@JDrevolver66]

Love it. Lots of Beach Boys and a bit of Gram Parsons (Sin City) among the jangly goodness.

[@mahoganyhollow]

UGH! The 6 year wait was worth it. This is brilliant. Can not wait for more

[@juanrivera6109]

Another great song by this terrific group. A beautiful song. Thanks guys.

[@gregvs.theworld451]

Holy hell, this is a bop! I thank my brother for showing me this song.

[@augsbourne]

This is so Beatles-esque, I love it. This made my day!

[@helpfulcommenter]

More like Brian Wilson but okay

[@decembria1111]

I feel Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys.

[@surfohio]

Beatles and Beach Boys = kindred spirits :-)

[@ryanpm5986]

This is one of those beautiful songs that I just have to listen to on repeat. It is a mood. It steeps me in emotion.

[@madeformulholland9489]

Very Sloop John B ❤

[@jma3586]

This one is stuck in my head. I grew up in the 60s and this sound is spot on. It’s going on my celebration of life playlist 😁

[@sammiller9351]

This has absolutely made my day. This is the first thing that has been released since Ive been a fan and it feels like the Decemberists have been my favorite band forever!

[@markvotava5325]

I never heard of this group ...wow. what a song..I love when this happens...really I do..

[@candleeyed]

I'd encourage you to look at more of their stuff! the decemberists are a gift that keeps on giving

[@legatomodi3522]

Still got it. I dont know what "it" is, but you still have it. I think it might be an accordion or something.

[@marshalllancaster2314]

Been a long time since I’ve used the expression “favorite song.” A whole album of jangle would really spoil us.

[@katelyntaylor743]

There's a certain kinda tranquility that comes along with listening to y'all's music 😊 god I missed it

[@Beeblebrox42]

Almost let out a yelp of joy at my workplace when I saw a new video was in my feed. Thanks for brightening my day.

[@YeOldeGnurd]

We got introduced to this song live in Boston in the summer of '22. So great to hear it again.

[@jeffmcelroy8630]

In Philly for us. Looking forward to a new album and the new tour!

[@chrismagsmags]

Kind of reminds me of Sloop John B by the Beach Boys. Which is a good thing!

[@ChristopherBingham-xx8xl]

The Kingston Trio did that before the Beach Boys. There was a time when all I listened to was the Decemberists and The Kingston Trio.

[@WilliamMaranciMashups]

[@jamescrosby7386]

Please come back to play the Academy, Manchester UK. Love your music

[@katrinagrentz5035]

To me this sounds so much like early Belle & Sebastian (we all have our different reference points but wow, even the horn break), love it!

[@katrinagrentz5035]

Also, malaria can be treated!

[@thealleys]

that's cool that they wrote a song for that Canadian band Len. Len probably influenced them a lot.

I heard this on radio and had no idea it was a new tune...Bravo!!!

[@cic3531]

I just recently heard this on Soma FM Indie Pop Rock and I love it! It gives me vibes of an old school Stephen King's novel ending.

WOOOOO, been so excited since y'all announced this the other day
