The Sunset Tree, 2005
Written by John Darnielle
Tha narrator is in a hotel room, seemingly afraid. Nervously peering out the curtains. Preparing for somehing, but what? "Lord if I make it through tonight / Then I will mend my ways and walk the straight path to the end of my days." He's got some aspirin and some liquor. Is he trying to come off the meth and up for a hard night of DTs? Or just a long dark introspection of the soul? The song is sorrowful, but calm, somehow optimistic despite it all.
