funny story about this song: when I was about 5 or so, my dad was super into the Decemberists and would play a lot of their music almost all the time. This song was a favorite of my sister and me and we would sing the female part all the time, dancing around. We never got the lyrics right, which was probably for the best in hindsight. Then my dad realized how well we know inappropriate music (dark and violent, as well as some songs about sex and drugs) and I didn't hear this song again until a few months ago. Now, it's almost always stuck in my head and I love it!

Lyrics: We are two mariners Our ship's sole survivors In this belly of a whale It's ribs our ceiling beams It's guts our carpeting I guess we have some time to kill You may not remember me I was a child of three And you, a lad of eighteen But, I remember you And I will relate to you How our histories interweave At the time you were A rake and a roustabout Spending all your money On the whores and hounds Oh oh You had a charming air All cheap and debonair My widowed mother found so sweet And so she took you in Her sheets still warm with him Now filled with filth and foul disease As time wore on you proved A debt-ridden drunken mess Leaving my mother A poor consumptive wretch Oh oh And then you disappeared Your gambling arrears The only thing you left behind And then the magistrate Reclaimed our small estate And my poor mother lost her mind Then, one day in spring My dear sweet mother died But, before she did I took her hand as she, dying, cried Oh oh Find him, bind him Tie him to a pole and break His fingers to splinters Drag him to a hole until he Wakes up naked Clawing at the ceiling Of his grave It took me fifteen years To swallow all my tears Among the urchins in the street Until a priory Took pity and hired me To keep their vestry nice and neat But, never once in the employ Of these holy men Did I ever, once turn my mind From the thought of revenge Oh oh One night I overheard The prior exchanging words With a penitent whaler from the sea The captain of his ship Who matched you toe to tip Was known for wanton cruelty The following day, I shipped to sea With a privateer And in the whistle of the wind I could almost hear Oh oh Find him, bind him Tie him to a pole and break His fingers to splinters Drag him to a hole until he Wakes up naked Clawing at the ceiling Of his grave There is one thing I must say to you As you sail across the sea Always, your mother will watch over you As you avenge this wicked deed And then, that fateful night We had you in our sight After twenty months at sea Your starboard flank abeam I was getting my muskets clean When came this rumbling from beneath The ocean shook The sky went black and the captain quailed And before us grew The angry jaws of a giant whale Oh oh Oh Don't know how I survived The crew all was chewed alive I must have slipped between his teeth But, oh! What providence What divine intelligence That you should survive as well as me It gives my heart great joy To see your eyes fill with fear To lean in close and I will whisper The last words you'll hear Oh oh

Colin Meloy is such a good writer, and in the back of my wildwood books I saw that he was in a band, so I looked it up, clicked on this, and it's so _AMAZING!_

I love all of The Decemberists` songs but this performance is utterly sublime! Colin Meloy is an extraordinary lyricist and this clip showcases the brilliant musicians who support his wonderful songs. The Decemberists give me strength when I`m feeling weak and they show me joy at the times when I start to think that joy has deserted me.

This is even more haunting than the studio version.

Your average mother: "Do not let the shadows of the past darken the rope of your future. All you need is to make sure that you forgive it and let go of those things. There are times when we tend to cling onto our past without realizing the fact that it is stopping us to walk ahead." Mariner's mother: "Find him, bind him Tie him to a pole and break His fingers to splinters Drag him to a hole Until he wakes up naked Clawing at the ceiling of his grave"

A fantastic, haunting song.

Recently just found this song but it has me so intrigued. The instruments, the story telling, the two women at the same time, the stops, the style of singing, I’m completely captivated.

you could listen to this a billion times and it would only get better each time. every musician perfectly in tune with their instrument and playing brilliantly together. all while following Colin's amazing story telling lyrics. such an intelligent band on every level. and the ending building to a frenzied crescendo. perfection.

This song. THIS SONG! This came up many times in Pandora when I was in college. This got me through many classes, and when I tried to find it recently, I realized I had no idea what the name was. I finally found it three years later! I will be listening to this on repeat for the next couple of days. Prepare your servers, youtube...

I've honestly listened to this song at least 10 times in the last day. Can't get enough

So, yeah. I'm running a Pirate DND campaign and I used this song as the basis for one of my longer Quest lines. The party Were placed in a Prison in Novistar(The capital of my world) and were down on their luck when they met a half elf by the name of Arthur Callaghan(Yes that is a Reference to Red Dead Redemption 2, but he was based nothing on Arthur.)The boy was in with the Guards and eventually he managed to get the PC's out of Jail by Bribing them. He had heard of The Pc's and wanted to ask them for passage on their Ship "The Primrose" to a little known settlement Known as the Kingdom of Stronghold. They accepted, On the condition that he help about the Ship when they needed a Extra pair of hands, And since we had a Paladin of Sune, and A Cleric of Uuta aboard they agreed to take him for free, with only that stipulation. He had proven a capable Deckhand, however he had a strange habit of looking out into the sea while the Wind whistled about them... It seemed to be strangely hypnotic for the boy. Eventually one night The Pc's would awake to Arthur manning the Helm, Not unusual, however he had a very stern look upon his face. They seemed to be bearing down upon a ship, Their Ram poised to smash the ship the splinters. Our Wizard stopped him, Using Mage hand to Yank the Wheel from his grasp, however.... We did hit something. Going Nearly 16 Knots(18 Mph) We Smacked hard into a Whale the likes of which no one had ever seen. It was Gargantuan, Letting out a massive moan it turned and Bit the ship we were chasing in twain, before turning... And Forcing the Primrose into the same fate. The Pc's alive, as was Arthur. The group was in a uproar, screaming at one another until something caught their attention. A man coughing loudly in the corner of the Whales belly. The man looked to be in his late thirties, Scars running all along his face, But Arthur Knew.... Our Cleric Ran to heal the Man, However Arthur Shouted out, telling him to stop. Long Story Short Arthur begged the Pc's to, at least let him explain himself, and Why he intended to Murder this Man. They Agreed. The Music Began. It started as a Lonely Guitar, One Arthur Always carried with him, Vibrating softly in the Belly of the Whale, But Eventually.... Other Instruments Joined in, And even his Mother's Ghost made a Guest appearance. The Dilemma was up to the Players. Allow this man his Revenge? Or Stop him, and try to talk him out of this Killing. Sorry, it got so Wordy. Just wanted to tell this Awesome Story.

Revenge is a dish best served wet

My friends and I back in 2012-2013 were in a metal/punk band and our lead guitarist played us this song and I swear that is the moment where my appreciation for music as a whole started. Of course I always loved metal, but from then on I started to branch out and now my music taste almost a decade later is so astronomically different and vast.

This song has put a spell on me! It's a masterpiece and so enchanting! One of the most delicacies for my ears, for my soul... Colin, you must have an exceptional mind! Thanks for the throbs you give me...

As I listen to the Mariner's Revenge Song now that I'm older, I find it really hilarious that the protagonist deifies his mother so wonderfully. A widow who kept an 18 year old boy toy not long after the passing of her husband. Peak comedy. Lol. This lad out here swearing the bitterest revenge over a scandal.

Born too early to explore the universe. Born too late to explore the world. Born at the right time to listen to this song. I'm fine with that.

You can explore the ocean. At least under it.

I love how they did the moms voice by having both women singing to create that creepy echo

Imagine being eaten by a whale and that not even being the worst part of your day

God this song slaps so hard, where the hell was it all my life?

DAMM this song is perfect for "over the garden wall" guys

I FOUND SOMEONE ELSE

I have been listening to this song on and off for about 5-6 years and I’ve finally finally understood. It’s and absolute MASTERPIECE!!

7:41 My new favorite thing is watching him stomp his foot.

I never thought that was part of the music.

Love this song! Only just heard it...how can the last comment be from 3 years ago! Such talent.

This is Excellent Peter Kagan and the wind for those who are looking for a gold standard storytelling song

I honestly don't understand how the young population don't like this style of music, my brother (who is older than me) only listens to rap about drugs and money, but this is real music

It's less expensive to learn to rap and get the software for beats, also shanties aren't that easy to relate too when you don't interact with the sea that much

I think the part at the end, just after he sings, "so lean in close as i whisper the last words you'll hear," is my favorite; not only because of the implications the narrator is making; but also because they all just play AS FAST as they can and it's a lot of fun to watch honorable mention: the drummer knocking the stuff off of the shelf as everyone just kinda screams, its just chaos and I'm LIVING for it

great song and interpretation! 6:29 is perfect, adds such a terrific chaotic point to the situation described

I memorised the lyrics and the tone, singing it everywhere.... People respect me now

My English teacher had us listen and analyze this song as an assignment, now I can’t stop listening to it 😂

It's weird how I fall in love with music these days(: Well, since I'm obsessed with the Hunger Games, I listened to their song for the album and FELL IN LOVE

I have listened to this song countless times, each musician was going hard to make this story/ Song happen. This is the difference between the crap on the radio & real art! Thank you!

Absolutely BRILLIANT arrangement, storytelling and performance! Outstanding musicianship.

No matter how many times this song comes up (this times 3 times in a row) I can't skip it. I can still see myself taking out the details within the revenge chorus. That's probably something I shouldn't say out loud.

It's kind of cool when you have the ability to "manipulate" the crowd with your music. The way how you're into the story, and almost part of it as with this song. The fact that they don't have to sing the chorus again at the end, because you already know it, and feel it. It's a awesome feeling.

Duh?

Wow! I've loved this song from first time hearing it like 10 years ago, never knew about this live version. It blew my mind! That final accelerando is a Mariner's headbanging masterpiece

i love their voices and this song is so deep and hits a lot of chords for me i cant stop hitting repeat

this calms me when I have bad memories of my father ....
