28. The Decemberists, 'January Hymn' - a tune for 6.2.2011

Today's song in 'January Hymn', taken from 'The King Is Dead', the new album from The Decemberists.  The album has quite a strong folk/country influence, as this track demonstrates, and it's an album I'm starting to love despite only listening to it twice through so far.  For me, there's always been a certain significance to The Decemberists, and that continues with 'The King Is Dead'.  I'm not feeling particularly energetic or positive today, so 'January Hymn' is a song that fits my mood this morning.  It's wonderfully crafted and feels a little mournful too.

What were the words I meant to say before she left?
