There's a video of someone's interpretation of the song on youtube, which is rubbish really - I don't advise watching it. Like a good book, your head's version will be better.

The Decemberist's songs almost always contain a story - this just happens to be one of the longest and oddest of those songs...

I want to put a link up to Hurricane by Bob Dylan, but every YouTube link has had the audio removed.

The album The Hazards of Love is pretty much one big novel.
