by Ciaran Thompson

Aaron Stewart-Ahn, who previously worked on the band’s “O Valencia” music video, has directed a new video for The Decemberists’ “This Is Why We Fight” from their latest album The King Is Dead. It’s centered around a group of kids relying on trash and junk to survive while also incorporating a struggle between classes. The humble peasants, of which a girl and boy strike a bond, eventually rise up to their oppressive king. Watch the video unfold below.
