[@josephhammer4103]

[@tazviper22]

I heard this song on 911 and loved it

[@joygoulet5132]

Exactly!

[@alikabdulla2025]

Manifest brout us together ❤️

[@johnthomas8706]

I looooooove this song!! Made me cry so hard! Don't we all have these moments where you just wish things would just be okay...

[@fitting-in624]

John Thomas all the time!

[@emilychaite8650]

Same. Here. !

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

I've been waiting for something to go right for almost twenty years.

[@shekharnagle6204]

John Love u budy

[@fitting-in624]

All the time 😢

[@helenBeaton]

Daybreakers yes

[@myriambrahmi2600]

I knew the song before but I was so so happy to hear the song in there

[@FeatherInPhilly]

Synth drop at 1:30 ... did someone in a John Hughes movie just fall in love?

[@ghostmovement1789]

Comment Of The YEAR.

[@melissawolf3960]

FeatherInPhilly 🤣 so awesome

[@elliottcsmith5447]

Funny, Colin Malloy said that was EXACTLY what he was trying to channel, the kind of high emotions of 80s John Hughes movies (on podcast Exploded Songs) as he felt that really had no right to make this a personal statement as he had a great a life. Nice insight. :-) But also awesome synth drop.

[@earthpal]

FeatherInPhilly Spot on. Very 80’s vibe throughout ... with a definite touch of New Order thrown in.

[@CrackaLackaHacka]

It's because the first two chords (V Imaj7) and strumming pattern are the same as Please Please Please Let Me by The Smiths, but it's raised half a step to D# major. The song was frequently used in John Hughes' movies, and I would bet money this song was heavily inspired by Please Please Please Let Me.

[@lifeofaydinx]

When you lived a life of abuse, trauma, and the subsequent mental illnesses caused by the former, this song speaks to you.

[@Paul-nm8cw]

1000% so true

[@antonellamelian7716]

😢 es verdad. Incluso cuando la vida fue dura y ves que nunca llega la luz.

[@marcolopes4700]

9.1.1. Season2ep18 great music

[@midkay]

This track is amazingly great for being so simple. When those first synth notes hit at 1:30, that really hit me in the feels. Something about the warmth and almost euphoric quality of the synth and melody.. they’ve changed completely since Picaresque, and this is a whole different kind of song experience, but a really emotional journey nonetheless, just a new kind for them. I think it’s beautiful, I’m actually psyched for this album!

[@JP-mb2uj]

Finally, a song I can memorize in 1.5 minutes! Take that Mariners Revenge!

[@EarthyPoetGrrl]

Hahaha! Truth!!! :)

[@PhnxrusB]

I know the whole song 😝

[@seriouslyserious5174]

For real! You should of broken the like record on KZbin!

[@titusjames4912]

Lol you can do the same thing mariner's revenge. You just have to be listening really fast.

[@jodilyn]

😂😂😂❤❤👏👏👏👏

[@evanhill9494]

Dang, hearing Colin's voice like that in the beginning was so comforting

[@cgzepp]

I love where they're going with their sound. The Decemberists never ceases to amaze me

[@71bekbek]

Daybreak brought me here❤

Digging it! The keyboard has a Cure vibe. Can't wait to see them this summer ❤❤❤

[@aggies1242]

Love it, I’m so excited for the full album!

[@will_riddle_]

Beautiful. What a perfect package of a song!

[@vividimagery000]

[@EnosEverything]

Cracking song Gromitt !!!

[@0h_Hi_there258]

Love LOVE his voice!

[@chrismcdonough5877]

I was recently introduced to this band and I gotta say that they are very good.

[@fitting-in624]

Already preordered the new album. Looking forward to listening to all the new songs.

[@TrevorGarford]

[@monicajean4249]

Needed this song...thank you.

[@salemite]

A decemberists track with warm swimmy synths kicking in? Colin, stop it. Just stop. My cockles can only warm so much!

[@OPArsenal]

Kyle Jones Same same same same same this is everything

[@freshlybakedsadness9251]

Wtf

[@GiovanniDiGregorio]

What an incredible masterpiece! Grazie, TheDecemberists ❤️

[@ivanmoreno2161]

I love this song so much rrminds me when i was sad and depressed and wished something gone right

[@olti2138]

9-1-1 brought me here 👍🙏🔥

[@isaacmr.trumpetmanbobonis]

Me too!

[@gavinwright7660]

[@sienna8081]

[@NikoBleau]

I really needed this song right now. Beautiful

[@DxSatelliteRock]

Great song guys

[@frankgonzales115]

Great sound guys! I'll see you in Troutdale in the summer! Lovin' it!

[@neiroooooooooo]

This song made me a daybreaker~

[@duckyymomo]

hell yeah!!!! this song is such a mood

[@eklypps1134]

Thanks Colin, this has now become my internal anthem...(!) 😘

[@maras.online.adventures]

This song brought me to tears when I heard it on the show Manifest. I had to find it.

[@sienna8081]

9-1-1 brought me here great episode season 2 episode 18 can't wait for season 3 to come to nz!

[@mr.notsocreative]

Only the OGs remember these guys from Parks and Rec

[@maras.online.adventures]

Wow. That synth at 1:30 is just.... Wow. This whole song... Just resonates with me. The music. The lyrics.

[@Garrison1971]

This is a very simple, yet in some ways so deep and meaningful. The lyrics explain what we all feel from time to time (wishing for better days) and yet, the music and upbeat celebration is almost an underlying joy that you just need to persevere. Things won’t always be so bad.

[@lifeofasurvivor5555]

What is the meaning of the song?

[@josephlimber3328]

This is so amazing.

[@stinky9706]

The song is like a 5 minute version of the one lyric in Youth and Beauty Brigade, "I figured I had paid my debt to society." Which is to date, the most beautiful lyric written and I've ever heard!

[@kylemeloy5445]

Memeowth youth and beauty brigade had a whole lot of lyrics, I think it was on the Castaways and Cutouts album

[@randalldelude8830]

Love it, can’t wait for next week!!!

[@paytonhuhtala]

Great song guys, can’t wait for the full album!!

[@jasonr6118]

Really enjoy the song, so far love both songs released with Severed jumping to one of my favorite Decemberists songs!

[@ghostmovement1789]

This Album Is Really Well Done. All The Synths Are Kicking My Heart Around. Good Job Gentlemen And Sweet Lady.

[@ectcyclesmore497]

65 days clean off drugs and this song just bring nostalgia, was always looking for love in lost things 🙏

[@OregonMinuteman]

Beautiful

[@gavinjohnson611]

Glad to see daybreak got this amazing band more attention

[@staceygamble4492]

Thank you Decemberists once again opening the door on something in my life that had been closed.How do your songs do that?

[@paytonhuhtala]

Preordered the colored signed vinyl! Can’t freakin wait

[@heavymike3248]

simple yet emotionally powerful

[@simonecharles8568]

Love it Love it

[@sierraschullar5614]

Manifest season one brought me here!

[@prankfurter]

This is so good!

[@curvaceouslyjayce6527]

Came here from 911! They have amazing music.

[@doubleas2245]

Sometimes it’s difficult to watch things unfold when you know things that you can’t explain…🤐Faith🙏🏼

[@renatopackerelias4356]

I cannot stop listening this songgggg

[@thomasbrennan1762]

Me too Love this song

[@theblueroomsessions]

So far I love every song on new album...can't wait to get the full record.

[@robhaunui3343]

This should definitely be a single,and owes its heritage to 80's Irish band The Adventures,and their song "The Trip To Bountiful,When The Rains Come Down" off their 1988 album "Sea Of Love".That was one stunner of a song,and so is this by The Decemberists.

[@seapower61]

Rob Haunui Hit the nail on the head. All the elements are there. Classic from 1988.

[@its.arpitt]

we all had a calling.

[@jennychristodal6757]

I heard this song on Tim Minear's programme 9-1-1 and loved it

[@Arcangel73317]

I love this song!!

[@delladodeloindependiente]

Magnífica. ¡Bravo!

[@nicoletaylor4049]

[@soumnag7388]

sonic beauty

[@Darkwindturbulence]

I’ve been listening to these guys since elementary school and I’m so excited to finally see them in concert this fall.

[@yourmom-vt4wo]

[@jonaswall9524]

Hell ye, can't wait!

[@tkm6378]

[@jasonsoutthere7733]

what a lovely song - thanks Manifest

[@Robert-Wheatley]

Best bass sound ever

[@Dank-Hill]

I'm so excited, my mom and I are Super Dynamite Action Concert Goers... It's going to be the best concert. And all of The Decemberists are incredibly friendly. (Ok well I didn't meet John Moen and Colin honestly seemed too nervous to interact with fans) but Jenny is the nicest musician I've ever met.

[@dss2856]

The first time I heard this song I had just had my 3rd heart attack of 2018. 6th overall. I've wepr everytime that I've listened to this. Tomorrow i get to have my foot amputated, this song is bringing me some solace.

[@thomasestreme5774]

I first heard this song broadcasted on the russian radio, I'm happy I could find it :)

[@KarenGarcia-pm2ck]

Good job, The Decemberists!

[@vsander09]

Very strong link to The Smiths “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want” both lyrically and guitar line.

[@djminion779]

The best song ever

[@terrancetraywick7421]

When the kkd got released from jail on mainfiest I was sonhappy this song fit perfectly

[@anomalees]

this is the album colin had to produce. the warm synths accentuate the rest of the vocals. quite good & original too.

[@raulmartinez7156]

Sweet song

[@tray6662]

I discovered The Decemberists through The Simpsons and instantly became one of my fave bands

[@smithorpineda]
