@mij194 Well because most of the tracks on the album are about Anne Frank and I used to do lot's of research about her, so I picture her everytime I give the album a listen. Make sense?
I was going to write something witty about the people who pressed the dislike button on this video, but then it occurred to me that such people do not exist.
I fell in love at a summer camp with a girl who played this song on her ukelele and sang it. I searched until I found it. After hearing her sing it, it's kindoff weird to hear the real thing. But still. It's a great song, and it will forever remind me of being rejected. It isn't a bad memory though, because it also reminds me of that girl.
@fortunos Rejected. Hate that word. Just keep on trying, enough girls in the world who DO want you and maybe some day you will be singing this song for her. :)
I've listened and listened, and then I listened and listened again...this may very well be one of the most important albums ever made...I grew up with the "standards"...this isn't just a "belonging with" your collection of whatever you think needs to be listened to...this IS what you should be listening to. Yeah, whine and moan about how old it is at this point...
Sometimes, as a songwriter, I get so jealous of Jeff Mangum. He's a complete and utter genius. I would cut my fucking eyelids off to come up with these melodies.
I disagree, I think these are the greatest vocals out there. As far as passion goes, Jeff Mangum has it all. I understand what you're saying, but I respectfully just don't feel the same way.
I was also told these songs are about Anne Frank and if you listen, you can sort of see the connection.

This is the first song I heard from Neutral Milk Hotel, and I ended up truly loving this band from the first.

Where do you get Indie/Alternative band shirts? Like, seriously?
There's Mainstream, Rock, Metal, Screamo, and Hip-Hop/Rap.
But no Indie/Alternative. I really, really need a Neutral Milk Hotel shirt.
