由The Decemberists，十二月黨，來自於俄勒岡州的波特蘭的獨立搖滾5人樂隊創作並演唱的搖滾歌曲，旋律輕鬆悅耳，歌詞中度情節，依舊具備強烈的畫面感，Colin Meloy熟悉的嗓音，還是原來的十二月人，還是那些熟悉的記憶。他們的歌曲雖深受folk的影響但卻一直沒有停下向progressive rock轉變的腳步。

Get the rocks in the box
日復一日，往車廂中裝滿岩石
Get the water right down to your socks
刺骨的水流進你的襪子
This bulkhead's built of fallen brethren bones

We all do what we can

We endure our fellow man

And we sing our songs
我們唱著我們的歌曲
to the headframes' creaks and moans
來掩蓋井架的嘎吱作響和痛苦的呻吟

樂曲賞析
這首歌曲刻畫了在戰爭後，存活下來的戰士們在河邊對著水哀悼自己的隊友的畫面。字裡行間都表達了對這場戰爭的怨恨和對死去的人的呼喚。
