Things I Love, #26.

The way the Decemberists' Colin Meloy warbles 'bones' and 'home' before the last chorus in my new co-favorite song The Engine Driver. Beautiful, beautiful stuff; if I could publish the lyrics on the cover of next year's Jayhawker I sooo would. (Oh, the other co-favorite? Golden Age of Radio by Josh Ritter. I'm not really a country guy, but that's because Toby Keith-crap is ever-present instead of this most wonderful song.)
