That is Sara Watkins playing with the Decemberists. I think you guys are getting her mixed up with Shara Worden.

WOAH. Why have I not been told to listen to them before? I feel like I’ve been missing out, living a sham! Do I really have friends? Sheesh.

i have never liked the decemberists until this song came out. i do think that shara is the only reason i like it but that works too. her haircut was kind of weird but nothing compared to his.

I have said it before and I guess I’ll say it again, but they remind me of old Genesis. Not to mention that Chris Funk jams. How he lost to Colbert is still a mystery to me.

Um…yeah… of course I was joking. I mean who hasn’t heard of Shara Worden? Seriously.

This is me assuming that you’re not joking about who that is.
That’s Shara Worden from My Brightest Diamond/Sufjan Stevens.
