Seth went to my school in our town of 500 people in New
Hampshire. My first encounter with him was sitting next to
him on a school bus. He was eating Handi-Snacks and had
clear braces, so the artificial cheese was all caught up in
there with the crumby crackers. He and Alex Arcone and
Chris Kimball transformed our tiny school into a theater of
the surreal. They would crawl across the classroom floor
mid-lecture to touch the social studies teacher lightly on
the wingtip. "Loose pause!" one of them would say, and the
group would collapse limp. "I'd like to tell the other
teachers what you're doing, but I don't know what it is
you're doing," said one teacher to Seth as he pushed him
against the wall in fury.

Review about Okkervil River Love to a Monster Lyrics | Reviewer: jponsford1@cogeco.ca
------ About the song Unless It Kicks performed by Okkervil River
Lover now that you've left me I'm glad you're unlovely, cause if you could take all the heat in your heart and just hang it from you,I wouldn't be able to bear the way you can not love me,it's much easier of me to make a monster out of you,so here I go substituting the glow from your temples,all our sighs and our trembles,and each last letter sent you,from the cheap little pen of this weak little man who was singing, out his jangling ringing, and hopefully stinging attack upon you,yeah so here I go just exploding the hope we'll be speaking,some day years from now seeking,friendship and understanding, yeah i hope you get angry and hurt and have the hardest of landings,and I hope your new man thinks of me when he sees what a number I did on you (c'mon boys)I grow tired of this song I turn my eyes to the blonde in the bleachers, she's a lovely young creature, I think she's seeking adventure,I think she's ready to see that the world ain't so sweet nor so tender,I won't break her just bend her and make her into my new ringer for you,I stay in the same comfy town write the same old songs down drive the same streets, seek the same sense of dull peace,the same sweet words to the chippies,the same walk by the road where the same muddy snow's finally moving, but I'll fight off the spring I don't want lovely things I don't want the earth new
One of the greatest songs | Reviewer: George
------ About the song Okkervil River Song performed by Okkervil River
This song is very catchy. The lyrics portray something powerful and yet from a distance it looks just like it's title describes it; the Okkervil River Song.
This song is a great song. Okkervil is an amazing band. I would hold them next to candle (www.myspace.com/candlemusic) or perhaps Sufjan Stevens (http://www.myspace.com/illinoiseispretty) .
black is beautiful | Reviewer: Mike Lehtonen
------ About the song Black performed by Okkervil River
I love the driving beat synchronized with the great lyrics -- the jealous anger that we hate to express! Maybe best rock song ever (previously I thought was Ramones "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg) (1985)

------ About the song So Come Back, I Am Waiting performed by Okkervil River
This is one of the most beautiful Okkervil River songs, if you can even measure in that fashion. It's drawn out and raw and angry but so very, very lovely. One to really give you goosebumps.

------ About the song A King And A Queen performed by Okkervil River
"To fall at your knees, to name all your streets and to sit down and weep when you’re carried back through them and set down to sleep, and to lie by your side for sublime centuries (until we crumble to dust when we’re crushed by a single sun" maybe the most peotic, heartfelt lyrics ever written. I love this song!
They bring catchy music to sad subjects, and manage to get away with it perfectly. Their lyrics are spoken as things honestly are. It's interesting. Wonderful! I will always be impressed as I don't think they can go wrong.
I have not the words to express just how affected I have been by the depth and profundity of Okkervil's music. I kinda liked it when I heard it, I worked out the words and the chords to So come back I am waiting, and I'm not sure I'll ever write again. They put almost every recording artist to shame. Buy it, borrow it, however you find it, just make sure you do.

review | Reviewer: CHubbard
------ About the song A King And A Queen performed by Okkervil River
This song is beautiful. Definitely one of the better songs on the album. It's a story about a a man who loves a woman but can't give her everything she deserves so is content to simply be by her side. It's very sad but beautiful none the less.
Well, loving is as loving does, and I’d say we should know, because we both have loved, have lost, and are alone. Your face’s falling tears, to me they’re lovely and they’re dear, though you don’t love me and it’s clear that I will never see you in my arms. There’s no room in your heart for even this finely-sharpened dart; although I had started to think there might be hope, it isn’t so
