The Decemberists - This Is Why We Fight

Today, Vevo got its hand on the new very serious video from Colin Meloy and Co. for their single,"This is Why We Fight". The track is taken from their latest album entitled; The King is Dead.

The video is a serious affair dabbed in hopelessness and scorn. It features Children and Young Adults dressed in old school military garb trouncing around a post-war battlefield with looks of desperation and hopelessness firmly planted across their faces. The video itself brings the passion and seriousness of the song forth with real prowess and emphasis on the serious undertones within this song.

The song itself is undoubtedly a political ballad but nonetheless remains a beautifully crafted strumming effort from an always reliable Decemberists outfit. Colin Meloy is as perfect as always in his vocal delivery.

The King is Dead remains a must have album for 2011!
