Love the picture and it's similer to my situation! My son's teacher asked her class to write a report about thier favorite bands and my son has decided to do his on The Decemberists! his favorite song is "Summersong" and he asks to hear it every time we're in the car or near a CD player! I can't wait to see how his report turns out! Hi Mike.

Whitehorse5: If you liked Picaresque, chances are you'll love Crane Wife. It's really their most polished effort. There are a couple of songs there that will surprise you (like The Perfect Crime 2 and When The War Came) yet they manage to grow on you. There are some absolutely amazing songs on the record. You can't pass it up. And yeah, TN pretty much got the part of the song which inspired him. I love the "stars crashing 'round" on the drawing.

I pulled my coat tight / Against the falling down
And the sun was all / And the sun was all down
And the sun was all / And the sun was all down

I am a poor man / I haven’t wealth nor fame
I have my two hands / And a house to my name
And the winter’s so / And the winter’s so long
And the winter’s so / And the winter’s so long

And all the stars were crashing ’round
As I laid eyes on what I’d found

I hope my daughter, now 3, is able to be inspired someday by a song enough to draw something , or look at a piece of art and write a song about it. Kudos to you for obviously doing a good job raising your son to be a thoughtful person. How is that CD? It's been on my wish list since it came out. I loved Picaresque.

That's pretty amazing. I don't know your son, but he sounds pretty rad. Way to raise a smart, cultured and cool citizen of the world. Wow. That’s pretty amazing.
