Damn. They're fantastic live

[@michellejones253]

I have a crush on this group. Every time I hear them getting more popular....My crush changes. I want to share them with everyone.

[@edavidrowley]

I freaking love this song

[@tomoconnor906]

I am excited to see the female musicians on stage with them. Thinking this might mean some stuff from "Hazards of Love" will get pulled out on the tour! Oh dear God, could I once again hear them do their stunning version of "Crazy on You" live? And...absolutely hilarious Rip City jacket.

[@tomoconnor906]

Eric, you're right! Just went backed and looked at photos from the 2015 show. I stand corrected!

[@Hooozyer]

this song gave me chills...so good

[@sigh4390]

Yes!!! 🔥

[@astellus]

Love these guys!

[@ilonka__itsme___9095]

Totally amazing!!!

[@matthewburrell1045]

I can dig it!!!

[@kaskbam]

I love this song!!!!

[@corykrager3970]

Underrated band 😊

[@itwontcomeout5678]

They're so good!!

[@darrell1462]

Great tune.

[@damienmcguinness6358]

What a song. Addicted

[@birflurnstun1346]

Ugh, I have tickets for April 7th! So excited to see them live

[@albanymike]

Finally, a live version. Yes! Thanks Kimmel.

[@sexyniknowit76126]

I just listened to this song on KLTY and had to hear it again--love it :)

[@shehzadaslam6484]

best song ever

[@AcmePotatoPackingPocatello]

I was astonished ....this says it all. Nothing left to put the point on. Brilliantly done.

[@johnbelushi8719]

Wicked aural thrills. Love the vibe. You guys enjoy the limelight and shine bright!

[@mathuetax]

Aww yah, love this tune, the Hammond B3 just does it for me!

[@Webrider357]

Man my new favorite song, never heard it before now. Very Cool. Love it.

[@JakeR541]

Can't wait until we can do concerts again. Top of the list for bands I'm going see

[@andyanderson100]

Best track on the album

[@chemistryinstruments7156]

Good song for this winter. The last gasp of the jackals.

[@MrCoolerMan1]

Good consistency in his voice, especially compared to some other artist's live performances. Also, his voice is similar to that of the lead singer's from Death Cab for Cutie. Almost indistinguishable in this video.

[@MichaelEMJAYARE]

I had not considered the similarities until now!

[@WrynnCZ]

I like this. :)

[@asterlunes]

OMG

[@duckyymomo]

heck yeah boiiiiiii

[@juliavaladares8458]

Thanks to thirteen reasons why for hooking me on this song. It must be the twentieth time I've heard it in two days

[@wherenextcolumbus666]

That's a f****** cool song.

[@garbarek1078]

I liked this and your ghost. Nothing else jumped out at me immediately.

[@LB-th7mg]

Were they seriously just on Kimmel and I missed it!? So much new music of late, very exciting! :)

[@nordan00]

Got it on my gym tape!

[@herlockkk]

!!!

[@cesarcarlos337]

I would have seen more of this in the album

[@The-Canoe-River-Cleaner]

Ive played the album 7 times through now and its a total gem trust me. I thought it was well below parr at first but after dealing with the direction change and repetative lyrics it captured me. Your ghost is funny and creepy and Rusalka about the mermaid in the rushes with haunt me till i die. Colin. You have the power to move me and always will

[@jill5045]

❤️🍀♾💋

[@wadeguidry6675]

Nice St. Blues tele. Memphis rocks! ( place where guitar is made)

[@nordan00]

Memphis is a dangerous shit hole!

[@richk794]

YES, Kelly Hogan!

[@charlenemack7040]

If I was in this band, I’d be playing the tambourine! Sorry, no tambourine emoji! I’m forced to use this 🧿 whatever the heck it is!!! 😂😂😂♥️😎

[@hulkhuggett]

Man, Ned Flanders is pretty good!

[@mcreaper5158]

God is that you

[@ernestgrouns8710]

I love Nick Offerman's band, they rock!

[@lordfarquadthegreat8908]

The infanta is my favorite

[@victormontano7148]

Some how it reminds me of Interpol i wonder how the song would sound if Paul Banks would use his voice to sing this song, i'm not saying this guy's is bad, it is pretty good and reminds me of Paul's voice for some reason!.

[@CyberCriminal777]

I miss Colin's beard

[@drootshnoot]

same

[@drootshnoot]

but i am feelin the stache idk...

[@EricSelje]

He's definitely moving towards a Ron Swanson direction.

[@gabriel_scar]

We all do pal, we all do...

[@conormckeown3691]

I hear a touch of BCD here - Barely Concealed Danger Baby!!!!!

[@telly9004]

Cool Bass Player

[@prestonmcgregor6096]

the lead singer is from my home state

[@jamescole7197]

If only the whole record was congruent with this track and didn't charge off in so many competing directions. If they'd committed to this sound they'd have killed it.

[@ericballein8785]

At first I felt the same way but I really enjoy the variety on the record. Either way, this is a great song!

[@ryanhall7607]

Eh, this weird new wave/sequencer stuff just sounds really weird to me. I much prefer the stuff on side 2. That's not to say that people who like it are wrong or something -- if you like it, awesome. It's just not what I go to the Decemberists for.

[@rfz84]

there are really only two songs that are different in their new album, this one and cuting stone

[@raremusic2]

So true. When "Severed" came out I was beyond excited, but it turned out to be just as much of a mixed bag as What A Terrible World. It made me sad.

[@sb1806]

what kind of guitar is colin playing?

[@ryanhurley8170]

Steve Bryan reverend buckshot :)

[@IanDunbar1]

I wonder if Jenn Wasner from Wye Oak introduced Colin to Reverend. She played one when they were on tour with The Decemberists.

[@daniellarisi3192]

Have you see The Decemberists' new music video for "Severed" ?! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaS3d51sgZWgl9E

[@seveneightnineseven9051]

Who is the other keyboard player?

[@cspeazy6484]

I wanna hear the Mariners revenge song live lol

[@luciuscorneliusscipio9023]

I want pictures of spiderman, damnit!

[@Nokus416]

But that mustache though

[@ToddZilla813]

Everyone is playing Reverend guitars these days. I can't believe they got Zach Galifianakison playing them too.

[@lukes2486]

This song reminds me of Stranger Things. I love the sound

[@cl2008cl2008]

Love this but it's weird how QUIET this upload is. According to the Stats for Nerds display, this video is "content loudness -6.2dB," which means it's 6.2 decibels quieter than KZbin's standard reference playback level. That's really soft. Most concert videos are significantly above the reference level.

[@Texas_Hawk]

Bro! what is Ron doing!? Should he be building something?

[@grantashmore6174]

Great song. He looks like ron Swanson from parks and rec

[@mamanicks]

Beautiful @rodonfm95

[@stineblomjensen3339]

All the guys look like a bunch of grumpy dads who formed a band in someone's garage 😁

[@rullmourn1142]

Just realized when i saw his teeth, he looks like President Teddy Rooseveldt.

[@sans6919]

Lets not make them for more than they are.

[@fourthwallbreak]

I have loved The Decemberists since Castaways, but god damn does the band look bored in this video. I have always admired the whole "New album, new sound" approach they have had over the years. But this album does not seem to be challenging for them to play as musicians. Do not get me wrong, The Decemberists are one of my all time favorite bands, but something is missing here. Cant quite put my finger on it.

[@boundbystars]

I agree. I think you said it best... I don't care for the new album but I can't put my finger on what it is. I'll keep spinning it until I have a decent explanation why it's not awesome for me.

[@YouKnowWhereYouWentWrong]

I have a love/hate relationship with the new album. The songs themselves are mostly quite good, but I can't get into the incredibly disparate "spot the influences" instrumentation they employ. One song sounds like "Unforgettable Fire" - era U2. "Severed" sounds like New Order circa 1986. One sounds like the Smiths. "We All Die Young" sounds EXACTLY like Gary Glitter's "Rock n Roll." The one and only constant is the instantly recognizable voice of Colin Maloy. I can appreciate that they want to experiment with their instrumentation, but this sounds like imitation, not organic growth. And the cynic in me looks at their choice of producer (look him up and see the performers he's worked with the last few years) and thinks this whole "new approach" is a grab at radio play and huge amounts of streaming.

[@melaniebrylow3900]

You hit the nail on the head.

[@Sliced_Bread]

I completely agree with you. I think it's because they are leaning more towards pop on this album rather than the familiar folk.

[@pumpkinhill4570]

Yeah they really look like they’re phoning this performance in.

[@jayadam5710]

why don't they officially make Kelly part of the band?? it's time.

[@TheSUPERSCONE]

That's a lot of musicians to recreate an ipad garage band creation.

[@darsoulr]

I'm the angel who opens his fly and pees so humans know what will happen soon

[@primo3242]

Who else came from 13 reasons why ?

[@Chris-df7ty]

Alan same I heard season 4 was gonna be lit

[@w33dn0se3]

I came because of Titans

[@moro708]

BRUH yes, 13 Reasons Why has one of the best soundtracks of all time! Into the Black (My MY Hey Hey) is also amazing

How prescient... ..written 2 years 9 months ago

[@mikewattdisciple]

Damn, I really like the Decemberists a lot, but the only things I like about this performance are the fabulous Kelly Hogan on backing vocals and Jenny's cape. Nate in particular looks bored to death.

[@ryanhall7607]

mikewattdisciple I'd be bored too if I was playing bass to this song. There's no space for it.

[@Selunei]

Watch their other performances/videos. He's not bored, he's just got resting Nate face.

[@Jamie-lw5sy]

Great band it's just sad to see them associating with someone like Jimmy Kimmel

[@vinnieblesi1009]

Is this new Death Cab for Cutie?

[@OkieDokiLoki]

Vinnie Blesi The Decemberists have been around for aaaages. Where you been? 😂

[@tomalophicon]

Loki Lockheart you got trolled hard I'm afraid

[@grimmwicked313]

One of my fav new anti trump songs

[@lakisyou]

never play there again, these people look like they just woke up

[@robbyrobby7721]

Too bad he messed up on the lyrics

[@jennifervaughan4504]

Wow, try not to enjoy it guys. A lot of frowns there, especially with that guitar player. It's a different band than it used to be, and the new album is not good.

[@josephtorra3009]

One of the most boring, overrated bands.
