The Mountain Goats - Woke Up New

[pyroboy1]

People should just stop talking about the Sherlock Fandom or John Green. People should stop talking about what sent them here. People should just top talking in general. Just sit back and enjoy the music.

[TheKingofEights]

@pyroboy1 SHERLOCK!! SHERLOCK!!!! I LOVE YOU SHERLOCK!! WHERE ARE YOU SHERLOCK??? I AM NOW KARKAT SHERLOCK! ARE YOU HAPPY SHERLOCK? YOU MADE ME REFERENCE "HOMESTUCK!" YOU MADE ME INTO THIS!!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US MOFFAT?? GATISS YOU TOO!!!

[Nucl3arW3ss3l]

The Sherlock fandom is killing me slowly from the inside ;____; </////3

[MadameLacrymosa]

I like Sherlock and all, but John Green sent me.

[TheYogiBunnie]

brb, making a noose.

Fuck you, Sherlock fandom.

;____;

[MrWaffle01]

What is the song played in The Fall of the Reichenback as Sherlock and Dr Watson are leaving for court?

[BrendonUrieIs4eva]

@MrWaffle01 Sinnerman by Nina Simone.

[EvilNerdProductions]

I Believe In Sherlock Holmes.

Moriarty Was Real.

[SLUSHIEsuicide]

Never forget Our Reichenbach Hero.

[omgiam2hot]

Uuuuuuhhh. Reichenbach.

[lAmorpheousl]

This is... Very odd... I've been listening to this song since... Forever and was brought here by the Merlin fandom... And then suddenly, Sherlock is here! So much love. Listen on Sherlockians! (I'll join in with the sobbing once I watch Reichenbach...)

[BotheringTrees]

It's like I'm crying a water fall....

[MissLadyLadyGirl]

I'm terribly confused by all these mentions of Sherlock BBC but hey, great show.

[DottoraQN]

JAWN. *drowns in own tears*

[scarletsafire]

Oh god!!! MY FANDOM! I love you all. This song, on repeat. Shock blankets all around. <3

[Millyshirley]

I can't be on the internet without hyperventilating violently. Shit.

[haribotangfastics95]

all the reichenbach feels

ALL OF THEM

[egduf8]

oh god i JUST got over crying but now..

[doodsrslyWTF]

Oh, what do I do, what do I do, what do I do... what do I do without... new episodes of Sherlock? :c

[shaylaluna]

I am going to sound like a complete idiot but, was the song in the episode or does it just remind everyone of the episode?

[defenestria]

@shaylaluna It fits it so fucking perfectly, it's scary. It even allows for platonic interpretation. If it was actually in the episode I think people would have started jumping out windows instead of just sobbing hysterically.

[shaylaluna]

@defenestria That makes sense. The episode was spectacular and really gets to your emotions. I would have jumped out a window if the song had been in the show. You're right, it does fit spectacularly.

[issunRyuBlackBelt]

@shaylaluna I'm confused too, don't worry. Or do, I don't know.

[MarinaLovesMakeup]

REICHENBACH! This is why I love the Sherlock fandom.

[Leafpool7290CP]

Seriously, my friend only showed my one episode of Sherlock, but the Reichenbach Fall made be sob. This song doesn't help much. WHATEVER! *replay*

[CapnMarcoPolo]

This can NOT be good for my emotional heath.

Reichenbach has left me in a puddle of feels that I can't sort through. I think I'm going to die.

[TheShortBlondOne]

Reason #1895 that I love the Sherlock fandom.

[Gondorian9]

This is what I felt when I woke up today. My poor John

[FizzyMilkyway]

Oh god John my baby... ;_; /cries

[SangoKikOme]

And then floodgates opened and the Sherlocked people flooded in fresh from john's butchery and having their hearts ripped out.

[AppleSugarStudios]

REICHENBACH ERRYWHERE

[sparkschameleon]

:O JOHN!!!! :'(

[MrsSkillpa]

I used to love this song. Then the Sherlock fandom made me realize how perfect this is for Reichenbach. and I cried.

[FlaringRhythm]

REICHENBACH, WHY? WHY? THANKS REAPERSUN, THANKS A LOT. *INFINITE CREYZ*

[Consultingzombie]

I will never be able to do anything ever again without thinking of Reichenbach...

[dylanthechameleon]

ALL MY CREYS ARE FREAKING EVERYWHERE I CAN'T ANYMORE REAPERSUN YOU'VE BROKEN MY BRAIN

[OutCasteD4479]

Came for the Sherlock feels--stayed for the completely AWESOME band. So glad fandom led me to yet another great group of artists.

[evilstormgnat]

@OutCasteD4479 FUCK YEAH. So happy that the Sherlockians are apparently now collectively grokking The Mountain Goats. Damn funny to see my fandoms colliding.

[Atalinay]

this sounds like a song for Mr.monk (adrian) kinda sad:(

[beatricethebaticeer]

Welcome Sherlock fandom. You have been introduced to the Mountain Goats. Lucky you.

[lolpirates003]

Oh great. Now Reichenbach Fall is going to destroy me even more. REAPERSUN WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?

[dylanthechameleon]

@lolpirates003 I was thinking the same thing.

[Lilreddysteady]

... Eff all this hipster faggotry... Thumbs up if your absolutely-fucking-destroyed heart, and your willingness to adapt to your new surroundings, made you remember this song that you heard on the radio five years ago because you actually appreciated good music then and now...

[fecism1]

@Lilreddysteady no

[Cauldron6]

reapersun what have you doneeeeeeee

[CheckeredParadox]

YES, HELLO SHERLOCK FANDOM, WOULD YOU LIKE A BUCKET FOR THOSE CREYS?

[PianoFingers119]

Why has the Sherlock fandom suddenly exploded with this song?

[Martytheburrito]

@PianoFingers119

A popular fanartist posted some art with lyrics to this song in it. So I think that is the reason. Post-Reichenbach stuff.

[OutCasteD4479]

@PianoFingers119 One word: Reichenbach.

[sickabod17]

John's movements are kind of weird when he's not on a stage behind a mic.

I love this song.

[lookingformybluebox]

JUST KILL ME NOW AND END THE PAIN

Oh, my God, The Fall will be the end of me, dammit.

I'll be a total wreck.

*_*

[ChiaroscuroPL]

I was send here by Sherlock fandom. And, damn, TEARS.

[iDetektiv]

I don't know if I can handle the Fall. Can I just pretend it isn't going to happen? Please? If only for John's sake?

[nightmaresfollowme]

Thumbs up if the Sherlock fandom sent you here!

[ilovechuck42]

@nightmaresfollowme LET ME LOVE YOU, FELLOW SHERLOCKIAN

[LittleGlassShoes]

I was sent here why are the Sherlocks gathering?

[marisajts]

Okay, I'm a huge Mountain Goats fan AND a huge Sherlock fan. LET ME JUST SAY, I AM LOVING EVERY MOMENT OF THIS.

[DiffCliff]

since when are tmg fans sherlock fans (and vice-versa for that matter)? Either way, hi guys, let me love you all. Also, I'm expecting music videos, and lots of them :3

[gunyugunyu28]

i want to die.. next week doesn't need to come.. ;____;

[Gondorian9]

I will not be able to go on after Sunday. JUST LEAVE ME THERE TO DIE.

[writersblockgirl]

Sherlock is a force of nature.

[Slaapkat]

GOD

WHAT DO I DO

ON SUNDAY

[adayinhogwarts]

NOOOO I DON'T WANT TO FALL.

[TrufflesTheMushroom]

NOT READY FOR THE FALL

NOT READY

NOT READY

[jaydeebee114]

Never mind, I understand why we're here. Fuckin' Reichenbach.

May I just say that I love how the angst of anticipating Sunday has got the Mountain Goats some exposure? All publicity is good publicity.

Anyway, I'm going to return to weeping now.

[jaydeebee114]

Holy shit, wasn't expecting to run into you lovely lot here.

Hi, fellow Sherlock fans!

...what are we doing here?

[Maccadole]

I better not DFTBA after The Fall. Oh god my feels and cries! How do coping. 

[deliciousPB]

Oh god. Alright, Sherlockians, get your black armbands ready...

[ishallcallhersquishy]

OH GOD NO NOT THE REICHENBACH FEELS.

DEAR LOOOOOORD.

[LittleFanGirl]

OH MY GOD NOOOOOO >.< REICHENBACH WILL NOT TAKE HIM AWAY!

[sparklinganderson]

REICHENBBAAAACH *sobs*

[ThePrincessSpottie]

THE REICHENBACH FEELS

[AliciaMD13]

instantly the reichenbach playlist

[KetchupSplodge]

REICHENBACHHHH NOOOOOOO CANNOT TAKE EVERYTHING

[CrypticNymph]

@KetchupSplodge So I wasn't the only one who googled this after reapersun's art then? Thank God T_T

[choutax]

@CrypticNymph My Dear, don't you know? The cracked fandom is all over the internet now. Muahhahaha!

[teamorangeapple]

DFTBA!

[AsplundhFamily]

I think this is my favorite Mountain Goats song.

That said, they're all my favorites.

[FreeThePlague]

@Hollyslide Who the eff is hank is a nerdfighter meme

[2001E46325i]

Here because I don't need someone to tell me what good music is.

[gottogottweisswer]

25 years ago there was a lot of music like this, it was new and i liked it.

today it sounds a bit low-fi calculated wimpy.

[HeadAboveWater95]

John Green and Dan Campbell (aka Soupy, singer of The Wonder Years) have impeccable taste. Thank you.

[Ypuzzle]

this song is helping me through the toughest breakup in my life. I love the mountain goats.

[brandnewbabee]

@Ypuzzle same. nothing can quite help nurse a nasty breakup like the mountain goats can

[GanjaKreww]

Heard about The Mountain Goats from a Deathsquad podcast. Been listening ever since :)

[cott05]

Here because Soupy told me to come here....

[ashleybot3000]

This song is in Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac (movie starring Maki Horikita, Yuya Tegoshi, Anton Yelchin and Emma Roberts). The soundtrack is kind of amazing.

[hatmanmedia]

First song I heard by the Mountain Goats. I love these guys now!

[ohumanchild]

I heard about this from my Nerdfighter friends. Not a big vlogbrothers person, but damn they have good taste.

[gillianreachtoteach]

O.o, I didnt hear about The Mountain Goats from this John Green character, I just liked them for a long time. If you are just finding out about The Mountain Goats... amazing bad. Check out Sax Rohmer #1 (pretty popular) and San Bernadino (not popular), also awesome songs!

[BenGriffithsReviews]

John and Hank have good taste.

[hi56pie]

I would never have found out about this awesome band without my fellow Nerdfighters! DFTBA

[sXe182x]

When John introduced Woke Up new in St Augestine I knew, I wasn't alone. Soupy sent me, TWY <3

[AKiaFromTheTrenches]

@sXe182x TWY, FTW c:

[np02058]

thumbs up if the musical chair brought you here

[powerage112]

Who the fuck is John Green?

[psykokimera]

@powerage112 ...nice try. :P

[MegaCalvinHobbes]

@powerage112 It's funny how you say that, even though one of the top rated comments clearly says who he is.

Way to go, attention whore.

[powerage112]

@MegaCalvinHobbes It's funny how you say that, even though no one really gives a shit because everyone knew it was a joke.

Way to go, attention whore.

[MegaCalvinHobbes]

@powerage112 There's no indication it was a joke.

[0blivi0u5kid]

Does anyone get kind of suicide reference during the businessman train part?

[tynllan1]

This song reminds me of the books : Shiver , Linger and Forever by Maggie Steifvater , anyone ?

dftba.

[deathnotefan386]

Who the eff is Hank?

[Hollyslide]

@deathnotefan386 Look up the Nerdfighter FAQ for all of your answers. Do it now. Seriously. You're life will be enriched.



[deathnotefan386]

@Hollyslide I know! 'Who the eff is hank?' is a thing! :D DFTBA!

[rosworms]

okay... after hearing about this band from john green over and over and over again, i'm finally checking them out.

[Jestlow]

Who the hell is John Green?

[haeleiram1]

@Jestlow 

Step 1: Type vlogbrothers in to youtube

Step 2: Be amazed at awesomeness and community and fighting wordsuck and nerdfightertaria

Step 3: Subscribe. Become a Nerdfighterrrr! Become made of pure awesome with us!

Step 4: DFTBA

[haeleiram1]

rawr. spellingerrormakesmeseemstooop­id. wordsuck? lameface.

[ShuuussshKabobs]

I once played this song for an ex, before we broke up, as a way of saying "hey, I can see that we are ending." I thought the lyrics were pretty literal but I'm not sure that he caught it ;)

[TheGratefulmatt]

whos john green? john darnielle!

[EmoWolfMaster]

@TheGratefulmatt you dont even know John Green?! how dare you.

[mazzamoush]

@EmoWolfMaster Some people won't have heard of John Green, you just have to accept it and move on. Don't try to make somebody feel bad about themselves just because they haven't heard of somebody you respect - that's sucky. Don't Forget To Be Awesome! :D

[EmoWolfMaster]

@mazzamoush its true... im sorry...

[NarrowJoy]

Who the hell is John Green?

[PreviouslyOnbey]

@NarrowJoy I am going to assume you are not joking and that you honestly do not know who John Green is. John Green is a talented young adult fiction author, and is most popularly known as co founder of the Vlogbrothers channel here on Youtube, along side his brother musician and fellow nerd Hank Green. There are so many awesome facts I could tell you about these men but I suggest looking up their channel. DFTBA! :)

[JamesMLeo]

It kills me that this is only up in 240p :'(

[JDCorley]

@JamesMLeo Agreed, needs a HD re-up! Come on Rian Johnson, you're a Hollywood bigshot now!

[herestoeveryone]

Everyone saying that one fourth/half/all of their views are from nerdfighters or vlogbrothers or whatever couldn't be more incorrect. John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats has been writing and recording music under this name for 20 years now. They are pretty well established in the indie and lo-fi community. Don't get me wrong, the extra exposure is great, but it appears that many people think this is some tiny band who no ones heard of, when in reality they have a large and dedicated fanbase.

[LongviewCovers13]

hmmm... well i'm here because I wanted to hear some good music and I am well aware that this band is amazing without the help of some other random Youtuber.

[awastedname]

who's John Green?

[singstudysmile]

@awastedname He's an author who makes videos with his brother. Check out the Vlogbrothers channel, and welcome to Nerdfighteria in advance. :)

[fulfooter]

@awastedname look up nerd fighter or vlogbrothers

[TRAmPLdUNdRfOoT]

i'm here because soupy said "john introduced 'woke up new'." apparently, i'm alone

[DearShithead]

@TRAmPLdUNdRfOoT You are not alone.

[chellsss]

Sounds like Spongebob

[Axworth]

This is such a great song and only 3/4 of a million hits? Today's pop culture is lost in a maze of Kanye Wests and Lady Gagas. Pointless music keeping people in perpetual ignorance, they just cram it down your throat. But what do we care, there is so much more room to breath and stretch out on this side of the fence as there are so few of us. Make the leap, break free from pop culture, boycott it and come to the artistic side. Entertain your mind, not your eyes.

[AWEandthenSOME42]

@Axworth That's pretty damn hipster, the point of music isn't just expressing feelings and being artistic, it's to make things that sound nice, and if to others Lady Gaga sounds nice why should they stop listening just cos she's famous or doesn't have any deeper meaning in her songs. There's nothing inherently wrong with pop culture or the more artsy side, it's just when you force one that's bad.

[ToddyBOntario]

@AWEandthenSOME42 lol "that's pretty damn hipster" damn hipsters, with their fixed gear bikes and scarves! Gimme my indie back!

[nikki2sox]

@ToddyBOntario lol...."Gimme my indie back"....brilliant. And I don't even mean that ironically.

[anakso]

I don't think I have the words to express how amazing this song is, thanks John Green for sending me here.

[dhcrazy333]

I wish john green would like my music and talk about it so i would get views. I'm almost positive that a large portion of their views are because of nerdfighters.

[AWEandthenSOME42]

@dhcrazy333 A decent amount checked them out because of nerfigheteria, but the reason those people carried on listening and the reason John Green talked about them so much was because they're so awesome.

[Montythelucky]

Ah, 240p...

We meet again...

[dftbawolf]

john green mentioned them a lot. then while i was reading paper towns i saw it again and just so happened to have youtube already on.

[annedrodgyness]

I'm not sure whether I'm happy that some man I don't care about is spreading good music or annoyed that every Mountain Goats comments section seems to have as many mentions of him as comments about the band.

I am sure that this is a great song from a great band though.

[vyrl23]

After a tour in Iraq I came home to an empty house.  Nine months later, and this song is still a punch in the gut.

[Kingianiii]

Rian Johnson FTW!

[paigewithani]

2:07- Oh hello there

[Madidog123]

the main singer (sorry i don't know his name.. -_-||) looks like a kid I used to know who locked a kid in the bathroom at school, and when confronted w/ the question 'why did you do that?' by a priest, he said something like "Sorry, i thought it was someone else." He got an ISS, then dropped out of our school....

[lemon2323]

one music video where there not all ignorant comments, i love it <33

[littleointment]

i enjoy the presence of all the fellow nerdfighters here :)

[katie98ification]

I was scared to look them up because I was scared of not liking their music.

I like :)

[pretzelzetzel]

damn you, mountain goats. there's a lump in my throat. what is this feeling?

[Amethystasheryn]

So, uh ... Who's John Green? XD

[violetsinger1]

@Amethystasheryn John Green is a quirky, nerdy, awesome Author who has a vlog with his brother (Hank). They are called the Vlogbrothers.

you should look them up.

John/ Hank are big fans.

If you look them up you will be introduced to the amazing world of nerdfighteria.

[NOawesomeWITHOUTme]

A counselor at a camp up in durham that i went to a few years back told me about this small local band. They had practically no views back then, and i just recently remembered them. It's nice to know they are finally getting some attention.

[laylatav]

probably 1/4 of the views are from people hearing about the band from john green

[thefinnlord]

@laylatav Pays to advertise.

[abduction2]

@laylatav The other 3/4 of the views are from people who liked that song in the moral orel episode 'numb'

[pepperbaby101]

@laylatav That's why I'm here :)

[barkon]

@laylatav : I'm one of the 1/16 of the people who heard about the band from Atom & His Package's covers of "Going to Georgia", "Alpha Desperation March" and "Seed Song" :)

[princessyrandom1214]

I never knew this was an actual band. I thought it was like the hectic glow... lol.

NERDFIGHTERS!

[VaniaDawson882]

Grab the audio from this tune at searchripgrab doht cohm.

[EmoWolfMaster]

1250 Vista Blanca, the ink blotter at the desk in the den in the basement of

 the house with the tacky mailbox.

[Alcapownag]

Music Vid-ception

[xxN00Rxx]

nice song

[BeavMcloud62]

I'm here because my friend told me they suck... My friend was right.

[AmiLikesChiodos]

I'm here because Soupy Campbell of The Wonder Years wrote a song about this band called Woke Up Older

[samuelfreeman93]

@AmiLikesChiodos Exactly why I'm here.

[AmiLikesChiodos]

@samuelfreeman93 I like it.

[samuelfreeman93]

@AmiLikesChiodos Oh, I dig the shit out of it.

[hayleighXsays]

What a wonderful song.

[JayseWeaver]

I can't listen to this song without getting incredibly sad - in a sort of good way, if you know what I mean.

[HeyJudeFace]

beautiful song :,(

[sarathoughtonnothing]

this song is amazing

[VervaineSidhe]

This guys' style is so similar to Kimya Dawson.....sings better and not quite so personal but very similar.

[MitchDouglas]

demitri martin?  hmmmm

[musicalpony]

The Mountain Goats make me feel slightly better about my current situation.
