Eli the Barrow boy - The Decemberists
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz7wKhVa_VE
I found out about the decemberists maybe about a year and a half ago and they've since become one of my favorite bands. The way they construct their songs and verses make it really vivid, they can really paint a picture and tell a story. They will probably have a few more songs on this list. Anyway, Eli the Barrow Boy is such a great song. It doesn't make me want to cry, but it's just so quiet and beautiful. Great lyrics, great words.
I briefly considered making a music video for this if I ever get a hold of a copy of flash. Maybe I'll storyboard one just for fun. You know, storyboard practice. I really wanted to do one on The Mariner's Revenge, but it's around 7 minutes long, so I figured this might be a good substitute since it's much shorter. If we ever have a flash project in my digital media class I'll see if I can do a decemberist song.
