Why should it matter whether or not they're "mainstream?" I'd love it if they had wider recognition; the only downside I can think of is that concert tickets would perhaps be more expensive.
And yes, this is one of the greatest Mountain Goats songs ever, which puts it high in the running for greatest song period.
these guys really are great.the lyrics are awesome.thank god theyre not mainstream yet. at least i dont consider them to be.they seem to be smarter than that. the lions tooth is another great song along with no children.
Goosebumps...every time.

Eternal Sunshine, anyone? The first three chords sound just like Peer Pressure.
I love this song. Can't beat the 'Goats.

I love The Mountain Goats, but there are always a few songs on every album that make me cry. This is one of them. It's tragically beautiful.

I like the song. The opening chords are identical to Peer Pressure by Jon Brion, though.

It's about the christians being fed to lions, keep that in mind as you listen to it, it makes sense.

Each song on this album was inspired by the bible verse in the title.
Here is the verse he based this one on :
"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them."
Beautiful song.
