Decemberists, The - Shiny Lyrics

Saw them last night in portland amd bros they opened with Oceanside and then they played this somg right after. Mic drop

Best song ever written about a shiny mewtwo

The Brooke brought me here.

fiddler country vibes! smokin hot betina

Who is Betina?

not a who. a what.

Ok, then what is a Betina? lol

oh my god, so smiths-y. awesome.

Wasn't it more just running down the sides of the page been so long.......and the pictures of the pirates of bones and the red haired elf thing called the red haired elf thing plant boy......rifts read some pages thought interesting never really played.....also the little notched rib..but compared to most of my family I suck at drawing.....

And the sullen beery swine who try to tangle you in sullen beery balls of twine, have they ever seen two eyes so shiny?
The boys in denim vest, smoking cigarettes between their bootblack fingertips, sweetly tipsy by the half-light. The light and the half-light.
Tell me why you lied and what it is you do to keep your eyes so shiny

🍺 🚬weed and John Travolta ride n pulp fiction special👀🗣👅👄🙊😱🤐😸😳🙄🤖☠😸😝😛👹

I'm a dull and witless boy......

Saw you amazing folks in Ithaca Last friday and you played this, i criiied. Brings back such memories...

Great playlist - thanks for putting it together. Only came across them when the sound check guy at a Turin Brakes gig played their albums before & after the show. Stayed behind just to ask him who it was. So glad I did.

How anybody can give this a thumbs down is beyond anybody's comprehension

Focusing on what half a dozen musically ignorant dudes think of this tune (guess that's where the count went when you wrote this), when there's hundreds of likes, and hundreds of thousands views, is perceiving a problem where there is actually none.

Kaylee and Simon <3

If I could write songs like this....

+jake b You can, man. Just keep writing.

take a page out of ok go's book. they've got a ted talk where the lead singer talks about how they think up ideas.

what it is you do to keep your eyes all shiny

Good, good sh!t. Underrated.

Heard this band for the 1st time and i think its brilliant <3 mebbe after fleet foxes..

Saw them two weeks ago in Boston, they are such an amazing group.

I saw them a long time ago when I first heard of them, and was blown away.

Awesome song!

So fucking beautiful

You are so right

A song as sweet as honey. Seeping into my mind.
Soothing ever aching nook and cranny of my internal being.
Gentle with my damaged thoughts.
Lulling them away from their haze of anger and disrest.

that's beautiful said

'Are you feeling better now?' x

go play call of duty kiddo

Chillax dude,I'm 12 too,now,tell me how to get the teacher to play it...

I like this song

Im 5 guyz

That is the most apt thing I have heard ever. Ever.

shut the fuk up

I wasn't trying to be mean, you just don't have to tell people you're twelve. It's not a good idea on the internet...

well u dont have to be mean about it. just comminting

I miss you Eleanor.

You're 12. Your point is...?

OMG I LOVE DECEMBRIST!!!!!!!!! I MADE MY TEACHER PLAY IT IN CLASS XD IM ONLY 12 BTW

Without a doubt my favorite song of all time.

matt luttrell : what song is that?

You shoudn't type 'n drive you know ;)

Greetings from Greece,you are great!

it may be the case that the tain ep is a staple of their show. i saw them a few years ago and they played it then. i actually sought out this song because i was listening to the tain ep and was cravincmg shiny. cant say ive listened to any of their recent albums though.

I was at that show! do you remember the guy who shouted out "The Tain" for the encore and then they actually played it for him?

was that the pittsburgh show? if so do you remember that dude who shouted out the tane for the encore and they they totallly played it. it was ridiculously amazing

@thepurplebottle6 I saw the Decemberists live on August 26th, 2011. I was so happy, I almost cried.

@faultlines2000 May 2011 may have been the best month of my life.

cool

I was late to their concert last night, but this was the song they were playing when I got there. I wish I had heard the whole song, this is one of my favorites!

Opened with this at Jazz Fest!

@PreciousRobot sounds like I got lucky ! their setlist was good tho for the show I went to, Id say it was more of a classic show rather than one promoting their new album even tho they did play majority off the king is dead.

@thepurplebottle6 I seen them live a few days ago. I was hoping they would play this song, but they didn't. This is my favorite Decemberists song ever.

I saw them play this song on april 22, I will never forget it. their performance is so surreal you'll have to pinch yourself..I know I did

one of my personal favorites.

the decemberists are so brilliant.

@182Rule i can send it to you if you want...

Takk Tommy.....

@coryoung1 i have this song if you want it...
