It was released as a single in 2010. Lyrics and music"Down By the Water" includes Peter Buck and singer-songwriter Gillian Welch, who contribute 12-string guitar and vocal harmonies, respectively.[1] It also features accordion riffs and heavy harmonica reminiscent of Neil Young;[2] particularly the song "Heart of Gold".[3] "Down By the Water" has been compared to the music of Bruce Springsteen.[4][5] It was featured for free download on November 2, 2010 on their official website. Meloy has said that The King Is Dead is more straightforward and heavily influenced by R.E.M.,[6] and "Down By the Water" is a prime example.[7] Meloy himself has said that the song "started out as more of a paean to R.E.M. than I think any of us really wanted it to be".[8] Lyrically, "Down By the Water" is vaguely mournful.[9] It has been described as "folksy", "uptempo",[10] and "country-esque", and the chorus as "booming".[4] Though "Down By the Water" has been called "catchy" and radio-friendly, it is also said to lack the quality of prose found on earlier Decemberists' work.[2] Release and receptionThe song reached number 33 on the U.S. Rock songs chart.[13] It was favorably reviewed by critics. National Public Radio considered it one of the top 100 songs of 2011.[11] It was ranked the 97th best song of the year by Pazz and Jop.[12] The song was nominated for both Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song at the 54th Grammy Awards.[13] Chart performance
