Such an unearthly voice. My wife and I have played Sons and Daughters over and over and over in the worst of the last four years, clinging to it as a promise that someday, someday we’d reach the other side of a world threatening to end.

I play this now with her sleeping peacefully beside me, and the sun streaming in. It took me a minute to remember what had happened- as is always the way when yesterday was a different country. Tears all down my face.

The world’s relief cannot be overstated.

Thank you. All of you. My brothers, my sisters, my kinfolk- thank you. Together we’ll rebuild the world.

GO COLIN GO! Never fails to make me cry with that voice.

[MissKristen]

Colin, this song is a beautiful testament to the direction I hope the future takes. It gives me hope every time I listen to it, and today was no exception. As an ecologist who works in government, I need the hope nowadays.

[JayOooo]

Awesome song!!! Love hearing it every time it plays on my playlist!

Just discovered the Decemberists today in spite of living in Portland for eight years. This song had me in tears, absolutely beautiful

[markpettis]

Thank you so much Colin I love your music I’ll be there on Tuesday to vote for Biden & Harris I’m scared I want them to win so bad. I discovered the Decemberists About a year ago great group.❤️👍👐

[spacebearj]

What a treat! One of my faves. Thank you!

[pierrepucheu]

You're such a spectacular artist! I discovered you a while ago with the Mariner's Revenge Song and I was astonished on the level of composition talent you have! You have an admirer in the Dominican Republic!

[vickigrobler]

Love your voice, Once in my Life is my ALL TIME FAVORITE

[cosmos]

this gave me chills!! luv and support from finland, can't wait to hear the good news

[The_Gelatinman]

I recently discovered the decembrists a couple months back and I've gotta say I really love the music so keep it up man 👍

[marylou]

who could ever dislike this? Clearly a noob to the Decemberists. Been listening/singing along/crying since I was 20 and I'm 35 <3

[avalonperez]

Yo Colin I hope you know you're a legend. I grew up listening to you and I love that you still sing for the joy of it, for what you believe it right.

[smokyblue]

Did he purposely have a glare on his chord hand so I couldn't learn the chords? JK love you man

[franzferdinandable]

Hey Colin.. when this all craze goes down... how about commin' a bit to Europe, i know concert venues in Croatia will welcome you! summer is almost here

[trinahaines]

Love all your music and I really appreciate your clever lyrics

[matthm]

Nice song choice for the time. I hope you do more like this.

[Boreas]

Looking at the US from the outside it seems like what you need is political reform aimed at breaking the duopoly of the Democrats and Republicans. First past the post is an awful system :) Anyway thanks for posting this song.

I love all the Trump people butt hurt on here. You don't actually like the Decemberists if you don't know they have always been this way. ALSO stop telling musicians that they shouldn't be talking politics. They are humans that live in America and they get to tell you that Trump is a turd. It's not like anyone goes around saying jeez Deborah stick to office admistration and stay out of politics. Thank you Colin Meloy you pure angel of light.

I liked him when the video started but after all those words I must say...
I love him! 🤩
