The i-Rise is a 37-floor tower in the Dubai Media City in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Construction of the i-Rise started in 2007 and was originally expected to be completed in 2009. In 2010 a completion date of November 29, 2010 was given, but the actual completion certificate was received in May 2011.
Her Majesty the Decemberists is the second full-length album by The Decemberists, released on September 9, 2003, by Kill Rock Stars. The song "Song for Myla Goldberg" was written years earlier, after Colin Meloy had been a media escort for the novelist Myla Goldberg during a tour following the publication of her first book, Bee Season. "The Bachelor and the Bride" has the words "stripped bare" in the chorus, and appears to be a reference to Marcel Duchamp's piece "The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even".
The album cover was designed by the Portland artist Carson Ellis, the long-time girlfriend (and now wife) of Meloy, who has created artwork for each of the band's albums.
All songs written by Colin Meloy.
Note: On some editions, the track listing printed on the actual disc omits "The Chimbley Sweep", though the song is listed on the back of the CD jacket and in the liner notes.
According to the liner notes of Her Majesty the Decemberists.
I have come a few miles.
I got blisters on my slippered feet
As I rise, as I ri-ise.
California's ok.
But I think I might stay in the shade
For a while, for a whi-ile.
Ladybird, ladybird
You're the prettiest song I heard
In a while, in a whi-ile.
