We know what you're thinking. "Gee," you're thinking. "There are just not enough songs about disgruntled widowers cruelly doing away with their own children available for download on the Internet." But leave it to The Decemberists to make all your weirdo dreams come true. Or at least this one.
"The Rake's Song," the first track from the band's upcoming Hazards of Love LP, can now be got for free over at Decemberists.com. An introduction to one of the villains of the unstagable-musical-turned-amalgamous-song-cycle Meloy told Paste about back in October, the tune could be a teeny bit mossier, we think, but (understatement alert!!!) totally has that evil thing down.
The Hazards of Love drops March 24 via Capitol.
