Colin Meloy - Wonder

We went to Boston on Aptil 15, 2008 for a solo concert by The Decemberists lead signer and songwriter, Colin Meloy. He was playing at The Somerville Theatre, Laura Gibson opened for him. Please check out The Decemberists website:

Along with other Decemberists CD's and DVD's. You won't be disapointed!

Hoepfully I'll be able to post more of these, let me know if you like them, this was the first song and the camera work was a tad shakey. I got better as the concert went along and I was less fearful of my camera being confiscated. ;-)

This song was written when Colin's son, Hank, was born. He's two now. Here are the great lyrics!

"Wonder"

My darling, what wonder have we wrought here?
It's weird and it's wonderful, dear

An ankle, an earlobe, an elbow bone
It's weird how it wonderful grows
And it was only me and you
That made this three come out of two

My darling, what wonder have we wrought here?
It's weird and it's wonderful, dear
Oooooo
Oooooo

A'tumblin' in Dublin and next thing you know
A weird and a wonderful show
All tendons and ribcabe and beating heart
A weird and a wonderful start

And it was only me and you
That made this three come out of two
My darling, what wonder have we wrought here?
It's weird and it's wonderful, dear
It's weird, but mostly wonderful, dear
