This song is so moving and the way he has the crowd with him is awesomes. Cant help but sing along :) No matter how many times I hear this its like listening too it for the first time.
No matter how many times I hear this song, I still feel the same way I felt when I heard it for the first time. It's beautiful and uplifting and so true.
Annnd I hope if i found the strength to walk out, you would stay the hell outta my WAAaaaay. How can you argue with that? I am DROWNing. There is no sign of land. You're all coming down with me!
Very Simple. They Rock. "Thank you very much. . ( THAaaaaank YOO!) Feel free to help me sing this hateful little song" I love that crazy girl that you can hear in the background. That would be me, going nuts!!
There's something about the line "hand in unlovable hand" that always gets me. It's such a powerful image, clinging on to something that one doesn't care for out of pure desperation, because there's nothing else left.
When I saw them play this in London John didn't even need to go near the mike, the whole room was screaming those hateful little lyrics back at him, it was amazing. Favourite band ever, best gig ever.
this is an awesome song for sure but I think 'maybe sprout wings' has to be my favorite song, it's painfully heart hurt sad good and it's on "get lonely" in case anyone cared to know.

Ah, thank you Moral Orel. I've been an on/off fan of The Mountain Goats for a while, but hearing this one got me hooked.

On that night my life change in a small but powerful way. This song played a small but powerful part in that.
