*bitter*

[@sluice]

To be fair, Ron Swanson would probably make his own butter

LIVE IN BERLIN - "Thank you, Stuttgart!"

[@diesockedeslebens6599]

thank you

[@johnwrath3612]

Anyone else appreciate it when bands show the necks of their guitars when they make videos? Makes it easier to figure out how to play the song.

[@ajkelly451]

There's nothing butter than seeing Ron Swanson in a Decemberists music video.

[@blazeytown4444]

His name is Jerk Offmyman

[@ajkelly451]

PoPoyopon The failed joke ^. Good luck next time, buddy.

[@nathanielbown9139]

ajkelly451 Except, like, maybe the Decemberists on Parks and Rec... :P

[@dontletjimin108]

You mean Duke Silver right

[@iannsinger5760]

I’ve reached the time on my life when I know what I want, and the music makes sense

[@alvincash3230]

I was 19 in 1977. I can attest that this video is a perfect recreation of that era.

[@reiver569]

Accurate - everything had harvest gold undertones.

[@sebastianruhland5198]

I was 64 in 1977 iam now 110 years old.

[@Prawnsly]

keep on keeping on, old man@@sebastianruhland5198

[@SophiesBlueBox]

Hilarious and bizarre and yet somehow heartfelt...just as the Decemberists always are

[@youngjinkim9494]

Ron Swanson attempting a German accent. Life complete.

[@jeremylewis96]

YoungJin Kim at first I thought it was Russian, until it said Berlin.

[@albernererhelge]

Jeremy Lewis i thought French

[@liamgoulding2983]

"there comes a time in a mans life where... where the music makes sense" is probably the best quote I have ever actually been able to identify with, perfect way to end the video!

[@erichtisnado1536]

I love they got everytihng period correct to the 70s in Germany. The Sennheiser mics are perfect. .... and those fiberglass horn style toms like Alan White played in Yes.

[@Hyperbole86]

Nick Offerman's cutting, "so you say," might be the funniest line ever delivered

[@cansuturgut3724]

Colin Meloy is a true genius. Just finished reading his Wildwood series and I'm truely amazed by his talent as an author as well.

[@MrPenguinFingers]

[@cara4226]

My son would go to a summer program in Portland Oregon based on that book.

[@Geek37664]

The very first song I ever heard by them…and one of their best too.

[@AxisFlowers]

Not sure why there's so much hate over the video. It's quirky and broody. Like the Decemberists. Personally, I love it!

[@darryl2542]

The video is great, yes, but let's talk about the SONG. One of the of the best choruses of any indie song in the past decade. It scrapes the skies.

[@TheJanssenbart]

Yeah but maybe a little more cowbell

[@devoured1]

idk why this song has such a sadness to it cant get enough of it

[@victorude9334]

"There comes a time in a man's life when the music makes sense" TT_______TT

[@intelligenceofacertainkind]

The music always made sense. It's life that never made sense.

[@bthrush4]

One of the butter songs ever done!

[@krystalvance1001]

I cannot tell you how many times I have cried to this song..

[@bradmiley]

Me too. Generally while belting it out, practically screaming along to it at very high volume on the motorway (where the loudness offends no-one at all!) on my own.

[@junogage2334]

“what’s your favorite decemberists song?” “make you butter”

[@brandonburnes]

Quite simply one of the greatest music videos I've ever seen.

[@britishcringetv]

People from the band could not find better name for the album than What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World. It shows conflicts of beautiful and terrible world and this is what the best describes the inner world of their songs. With elegant melodies that hey served for people like us can be this planet still quite a pleasant place to live, sometimes.

[@BenFrey1980]

Never noticed Chris Funk getting his beard/mustache caught in the microphone at 3:05 before today. Perfect!

[@rhpslover1220]

Even though I'm in an amazing relationship, this song still always makes me want to cry.

[@bradmiley]

I'm the same. I think it's because we've all felt *this exact feeling* and it is so deep, so hardwired in us, that it'll never stop hurting ever, regardless. Colin's lyrics make me cry a lot. He *knows*. He just *knows*.

[@Danny1Dicks]

You're so right - me too! (And I thought it was just me ❤)

[@nasmithist]

Curly guitar leads , now that's what i call attention to detail , love love love this song

[@Jonnysea1986]

This song has the feeling of mid 90's Counting Crows, not complaining.

[@willharris3798]

this is so great. such a great video for one of their very best tracks. watching again 13 January 2023

[@scottallsebrooke2310]

Excellent! That song couldn't be butter.

[@n0denz]

The December ists are one of my favorite groups!

[@SingingToast]

Now can we just get Nick Offerman to play saxophone on a Decemberists album?

[@CitroChannel]

Christiana Sherrill You mean Duke Silver?

[@dreemahday8269]

Great song - the video, if one watches without puristically listening to the music, is brilliantly done. Bill Fishman / whoever came up with the storyboard has clearly put intricate thought into this. Each piece has meaning and it's well produced. Anyone who knows anything about production can see how cleverly it's been done. There will be those who disagree, but from this viewer, much appreciated.

[@sebastianruhland5198]

lyrics: I want you, thin fingers I wanted you, thin fingernails And when you bend backwards I wanted you, I needed you Oh-oh, to make me butter I'll love you in springtime I lost you when summer came And when you pulled backwards I wanted you, I needed to Oh-oh, to make me butter Oh-oh, to make me butter But we're not so starry-eyed anymore Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters And won't it all just come around to make you Let it all unbreak you to the day you met her But it'd make you butter It'd make you butter I sung you, your twinges I suffered you, your tattletales And when you broke sideways I wanted you, I needed you Oh-oh, to make me butter Oh-oh, to make me butter But we're not so starry-eyed anymore Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters And won't it all just come around and make you Let it all unbreak you to the day that you met her And it'd make you better Did it make you butter? Make you butter And all I wanted was a sliver to call mine And all I wanted was a shimmer in your shine To make me bright 'Cause we're not so starry-eyed anymore Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters Won't it all just come around and make you Let it all unbreak you to the days you met her But it'd make you butter It'd make you butter

[@ultramancer6720]

Maybe over analyzing, but I think "when the music makes sense" was a much better line.

[@alvincash3230]

A friend recommended that I try some Decemberist music. I'm glad he did. Excellent, excellent music.

[@juliawhite4261]

I love when bands make their music videos comedic!

[@frithar]

Lovely to see Jenny looking well. Yay!

[@matthewscott2299]

I love that Colin gave some love to the Peavey T-60. A fantastic guitar!

[@sassulusmagnus]

There should be a real show like the Old Blue Rock Palace Show. Love the interview style.

[@jackstraw262]

Lol as someone who walked out of 3 decemberists shows back on the 00’s because they “sucked” but now spends at least 2 hrs a day listening to the band... there is indeed a time in a man’s life when the music makes sense. Please fucking go back on tour.

[@malkessen]

I sooooo badly want to see them in concert!!! But none of them are close enough for me to go without having to take time off of teaching. >.< The only band I want to see in concert this year.

[@deanojack13]

They are WORTH it if you can find a way.I have seen them three times and have tickets to see them in Portland in March. I will not miss them if I can help it :-0

[@Nokus416]

Nick's dancing makes this so much butter, I mean better.

[@simonp1970]

2024 and this song just gets butter and butter

[@kristiangustafson4130]

Under-rated comment

[@maxwellwalker970]

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard

[@BroKEnCaPSLoCk1]

First time listening this band it it hits me right square in the feels... this is incredible...

[@chungfumaster]

This song could use a saxophone solo from Duke Silver

[@JoBean329]

For sure

[@jamarsu]

[@BenShirai]

Love it. Always good to see Nick Offerman on German television in the 1980s.

[@ΔαμιανοςΠ-β3η]

greetings from Greece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PatsiManWileywalt]

This very much reminds me of the 1976 Fairport Convention live recording for Rockpalast in Germany, I like the throwback very funny

[@LaTerreMorte]

Love it! Also, Nick Offerman makes everything better.

[@systemafunk]

He also makes everything butter

[@SodaPop2323]

You say better, not butter

[@kellylentz302]

Oh, why don't you put your needless criticism on hold for 6:51 minutes and enjoy the exquisite combination that is Nick Offerman and The Decemberists. Isn't it nicer to just enjoy things?

[@joannawhite9504]

I really enjoyed this video and love the band - hope they come to Sydney one of these days.

[@gothicrain888]

Its a video, its meant to entertain and bring about discussion of the band. I would say job well done guys and gals. Job well done.

[@williamd.prystauk9938]

Very cool!

[@ElectricNatureDragon]

+cruhg I tried to click on your profile image... But yeah, I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through that. I can't really say that I understand, considering I've, uh, never had a significant other. "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and etc.

Best song ever

[@bjc455]

I Just saw it like 20 times in the Broadway Channel on my JetBlue flight and couldn´t stop laughing!!!! It´s a perfect satire on the German music shows of he 1970´s (Pop in Germany) plus the VHS touch and so on.. Plus the last line ¨um...¨¨Wrong!¨it´s the icing on the cake! A must-nominate, front runner for any upcoming Video Award event. Love THE DECEMBER ISTS!!! >D

[@bjc455]

A BIG LIKE on it !!

[@JayBrem]

one of the few wrth seeing at Ottawa's Bluesfest 2016.

This song is good!!!

[@MatthewdePaula]

He has a John Denver quality about his voice.

[@reiver569]

...but without the annoying '70's bowlcut.

Especially in the Lake Song (Lyric Video)
