I’ll be seeing Colin play in Los Angeles at the El Rey Theater this saturday and have a report firstly on the performance, then later (after mailing a few out) a review of his latest EP Colin Meloy Sings Trad. Arr. Shirley Collins.
Lyrics for the new song are as follows as transcribed by mycarrion:
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 A tumblin’ in Dublin and next thing you know a weird and a wonderful show All tendons and rib cage 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
Stay Tuned
The song is apparently about his baby, due in March. (4th I think? I know it’s early march.)
The song didn’t do much for me, but it made my friend cry.
I was at the KEXP in-studio as well, and the entire space was filled with women. It was a funny sight.
I dunno. It’s a pretty little tune. Sounds like a closing song. I can’t help but find it a bit precious, but at the same time I feel like folks closer to Colin’s age are bound to appreciate it more. It’s certainly different in tone from his other recent work.
