Play This If You Hate Music:
The Decemberists

November 10th, 2006

Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then)

by: The Decemberists
from the album: The Crane Wife

Exit Petra Haden, enter Lisa Molinaro of the experimental Portland band, talkdemonic as the latest touring member of the Decemberists. Like the excellent duets of the past with Colin Meloy and Haden, this duet from The Crane Wife is perhaps the best moment on the album. Typical Meloy songwriting, it’s the story of two lovers during the Civil War; a dead soldier buried after the Battle of Manassas, and his pregnant sweetheart left behind.

Posted in the "Play This If You Hate Music" category. The category title is misleading. Sorry about that. I actually like these songs, but I get a lot of grief from my friends about my musical tastes. However, that never stops me from forcing them to listen to my “new favorite song.”
