John Winstanley plays electric and standup bass

Sounds LikeDecades writes music in the vein of, but does not sound like:
Sufjan Stevens
Wilco
Modest Mouse
Arcade Fire
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

The printing press keeps on saying things like this:

"With vocals reminiscent of Guillemots and the whisky drenched sounds of accordions and string sections, Decades are an 8 piece country delight... On this form, Decades are surely going to please even the most ferocious of critics."

"The layered alternative folk from this this London based eight piece sounds fresh. Its a pleasant change from the guitar driven bands that have been hitting my inbox. My love of well crafted lyrics has been well documented on the site in recent months. The delivery musically seems effortless, as does the vocal talent of Dan Henley." (Rocksellout.com)

“A few things sounded nice when we wrote them down, then better when we said them out loud”
Daniel Henley
____________________________

Decades is the story of 14 arms and 14 legs, trying their best to move in the same direction. Not compounded by opinion; finally escaping the boundaries of narrow-minded perception. Decades create story books of music, songs sculpted from genuine emotion. The meaning of the word 'song' continues to escape the masses; it must be reclaimed as our own. Decades has created a catalogue of wistfully beautiful, enchanting songs made to be sung out loud.

def: SONG "a short poem or other set of words set to music, meant to be sung"

.....or "a musical cry of some birds"

we must create.

____________________________

The tiniest breath of hope inhaled, with a liberal glimmer of truth. We won’t stay recumbent; not now

Remember the stirring of hairs and that one emancipating shiver; as the notes resonate through our souls. Abandon monotony, and whisper sweetly into the ears of decades passed; “Like a faded love, we can’t rely on you anymore.” Feel elated, liberate the secret, for pastures new will lean through the clouds and guide us all on our way home.

Devoted to devotion; awash with capacity; we must create.

The Sheets we Fell Beneath<br /><br />Remember when trouble’s lasted only as long as the story books end<br />And pages were drawn<br />And broken glass still reflects memories continuing<br />Up the very same stairs<br /><br />And still I wonder where did we go wrong?<br />I laughed with you just yesterday <br />And yet that feels so long<br />I still sleep in the sheets we fell beneath<br />And still I wonder what did we do wrong?<br />It never seemed to feel that way<br />I never was that strong<br />But who am I to speak<br />Were we in love for just a week<br /><br />And time just stands still<br />Without familiar smiles filling my cup to the brim<br />As I drink it all in<br />With pane so think, looking out to see you’re the only one<br />Being embraced by the sun<br /><br />- J-Guden
