This is a video a certain someone suggested that I post awhile ago…sorry about the delay there. But it’s fantastic. Just Colin Meloy (of The Decemberists, obvi) playing The Crane Wife 1, 2, and 3. My favorite part is when he asks for suggestions and, after hearing requests for Crane Wife, asks which one and people respond, “all of them!” So he complies. Gorgeously.
I made this playlist a couple weeks ago to prove a point to a friend that having a nifty piano line makes a song awesome. It’s a fairly eclectic mix, but I had a lot of fun making it.
