(more ~evidence~ to be added as i think of it)
okay. so. colin meloy. frontman/lead singer/songwriter/miscellaneous instruments for the decemberists, previous bands tarkio (which i am currently in love with) and happy cactus (according to the internet). this guy.

he writes lyrics and they are like this.
now, from this you might deduce, say, "oh, okay, that's why c talks about him all of the times," or maybe, if you're my dad, "what a huge dork", but i, with marika's aid (and by aid i mean listening to me and going "...okay..."), have delved further.
see, there had to be an explanation as to why he can hit such stupid-ridiculous pitches and hold them, and also for why he's weird. humans are more boring than that. luckily, i found clues in his own songs! =D
( a thesis. with pictures. )
