Song 307 (Band of Horses--"Ode To LRC")

This song was running through my head this morning; is one of my favorites by Band of Horses, so I figured that I would choose it.
LRC stands for "Little Red Caboose," which was a train in Western Washington State near Mount Rainier, it was transformed into a resort where Ben Bridwell supposedly hung out at. From what I have read, this song was inspired by entries in the resort's logbook about the happenings over the years. The song's structure is what I love the most; the song is a bit raucous and chunky at the beginning and smooths out and becomes quite melodic.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
