Recently my friend and I have been discussing the connection between Summersong and Anti-summersong and I'm so excited to get the chance to ask you about this myself! Summersong has been (and continues to be) one of my favorite Decemberists songs because of the breathtaking imagery, awesome alliteration, and themes particularly relevant to my life. So I'm wondering what inspired you to write a song that - as the title implies - is the opposite of Summersong? Is it meant to negate the message of the original song, provide another point of view, or something else?
Thank you so much for doing this; it means a lot to your fans! I can't wait to see you and the band when you roll through Atlanta in April!
