  • Love this group..

  • like im normally a stone cold guy but this song makes me cry

  • I hope 14 ppl die, I hope we all die.

  • I love songs like this

  • This song reminds me of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead: hilarious, but ultimately depressing.

  • I will go kill myself now. Thanks for the song that made me do it

  • @HaphyMorris This song is not going to make you kill yourself. you arw

  • @HaphyMorris Don't be an attention seeking little cunt. Tell your loved ones, seek help, don't be an idiot. If you're already dead, what's it like?

  • @pnoidd REALLY? You had to resort to the "c" word and attack a perfect stranger because YOU lept to a conclusion based on a 2 sentence posting on youtube?

  • I think it is someone who has long been in deep denial of a bad situation, and he has found the courage and strength to just let go and face the truth, which in the end will give both people involved a great feeling of relief, and the ability to get beyond it.

  • this song has to have subliminal messages in it cause its sooooo depressing yet im happy whne i hear it

  • love and devotion

  • i have been stuck on this for years. thankyou for the sweet action vid :)

  • A couple years later, and I'm still listening to this song on this video. My, how things have changed, especially the emotions felt through this song...

  • i think the transitions from picture to picture could have a been less cliche, but other than that, amazing video to go with an amazing song.

  • i hope you die...i hope we both die!!!!!!!

  • Great job on the video. (: You did the song justice.

  • YES.

  • This song encompasses so many feelings i have had for so long......

  • Comment removed

  • heard this from Moral Orel, I'm glad I found this..

  • I was rong THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER

  • i wish true love forever. this song scares me

  • @crystina99 so did I until i walk in on my girl with another man. But for some reason this song make me so happy when i hear it

  • Sexy

  • calmingh somg but ackwardly depresing!!

  • This song is basically about suffering through a loveless relationship. Staying together for one reason or another (the kids probably, as in Morel Orel) and hating every minute of it. Losing all hope and just embracing the pain and hatred in every way. So much so that you hope things get worse. You wish for it because the pain is all you have left.

  • love this song so much

  • best song evr

  • This song makes me think about my ex-wife.

  • A co-worker showed me this tune. Not a word wasted. Thanks for a great song! :)

  • And I hope you die... I hope we both die... LOL

  • Some see it as a love song but he mentions a girl what? once? i think its about hope in hell, but whateva floats your boat. I still think its epic even if it is about breaking up.Either way the feeling or mood of this song grasped out and grabed me like no other song has. So many feelings i get from this.

  • @LilTortillaBoy420 It's from a series that the Mountain Goats did, about a couple who used to love each other but grew apart in marriage. The album Tallahassee, which this is on, is all about them. Great album.

  • @whiteforestfox I will never listen to the song the same way again, but i can still relate, as for clay and bloberta their relationship was doomed from the start!

  • Nostalgia gives me a sad :(

  • i hope if i found the strength to walk out you'd stay the hell out of my way. best line i believe

  • Spite is delicious.

  • i love this song! its great! i hope i never get sober!

  • I HOPE YOU DIE

    I HOPE WE BOTH DIE

  • this is the ultimate beakup song.

  • I love how deeply ambiguous this song is

  • Awsome song

  • I live my life as expected. I wake up early and shave. I greet my neighbors and listen to their cliches, this fake smile sheds not. My friends are friends because I'm just as average as them. This town, with it's white fences, it's overly nice citizens. My yard, always mowed with straight lines. This song is the perfect ending to a perfect...ly fake life. I am drowning, there is no sign of land... you are coming down with me. My love, who commits to share this misery... with me.

  • There are way too many great songs with terrible overly literal videos like this. Using Google to find the most obvious image for every single line is the worst idea and shows a huge lack of intellectual effort on your part. Please, just stop.

  • @Esan81 You show your lack of intellect by criticizing someone else's expression of interpretation. The only sign of intelligence you've given is the ability to express your own interpretation. Shall I congratulate you for obvious conformity, then? You're the worst kind of asshole... chock-full of hypocrisy. In lieu of your response, I'm giving the video a thumbs up. Please, just stop... and enjoy.

  • @norevelation I like how you tried to make this guy feel somehow inferior by using the biggest words you know, and judging by your comment, you apparently don't know what most of them even mean. It really shows how petty you are, that one person voiced an opinion contrary to yours, that it must mean that he's a dumbass. Honestly, if you're this ignorant, you have no place on this planet. Don't reproduce.

  • @Chromedomeer I like how you completely missed my point. But, on the contrary, you are the type of person who wants to rid the Earth of people. Not even a chance of redresses? I would like you to explore the definitions of the words I meant. Then you'll be able to properly pick apart every little sentence. Then, after you've done all that, check it out at a whole. You're a fool offended by my words. I don't mind that you're offended, but you blatantly ripped off my opinion without recreating.

  • @norevelation I love how everyone is attempting to sound like an intellectual and failing hard. Especially saying "at a whole" sense, you make none. How's about you're all inadvertently ruining a grand ol' song and should take your internet dispute elsewhere...at least this guy is somewhat original. Rather than posting a live performance or a cover art picture he took the time to add imagery. Too tired to care anymore. I've probably been trolled allow me to accidentally the whole sleep process.

  • @Varshyl You're preaching to the wrong person. I'm not the one who was insulting the video. Furthermore, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. This is YT, "internet disputes" are pretty common. Get used to it.

  • @norevelation I was quoting you because you were the one who spoke last, that and you sound like you are four. Doesn't matter who started the idiotic argument you're just as much at fault because you fueled it. Also I'm well aware of many disputes just because that's true doesn't mean it is in any way okay. Your name is beginning to make much sense oh clueless one. xP

  • no children

  • themountaingoatscancureyourbei­berfeaver (DOT) com lol it exists.

  • best drinking ever

  • Seriously,Durandal's right. This song has serious bad mojo. But my junkyard already burned down so fuck it, sing along.

  • I hope i cut myself shaving tomorrow I hope it bleeds all day long!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • This song is fucking cursed.

  • @Durandal BUT IN A GOOD WAY

  • No, man. D: I'm serious. Every time I've ever listened to this song and happily sang along, my life goes into upheaval. Haha.

  • @Durandal It is. It is. :)

    I am listening to it because I am cursed.

  • This it my favorite love song.

  • I love this song!!! I saw it on Moral Oral, and just had to look it up on youtube!!!

  • hah so did i

  • this song reminds me of my divorce,i love this song. "hand in unlovable hand" Great job on the video

  • absolutely wonderful.... so sardonic... honestly hilarious and so clever

  • "hand in unlovable hand and i hope you die i hope i hope we both die" this song is great nice work on the video

  • This song makes me feel depressed but in a happy way if that makes sense

  • This makes me feel happily deppressed

  • hilariously depressing.

  • this song is so damn depressing and yet i can't stop listening to it.

  • because it's a bit funny too..in a tragic sort of way

  • @mastergaara117 Right its like watching myself die and im jus eatin popcorn and laughin

  • Hi, from Reddit

  • Best song in the world...and i think the vid is great...especially the images for the last few lines.

  • @schlapya thank you!!

  • Excellent song, shit video.

  • This song makes me smile. ^ ^

  • No I Listen To A Shit Ton Of Music And It Was Definitely The Mountain Goats I Heard On Some Commercial Or Advertisement Or Some Shit Like That.

  • u might have heard this on Morel Orel the tv show

  • haha that's where i heard it =D

  • @ctpwns do you know what albums this songs off??

  • @igg73 Tallahassee, really good album

  • @ctpwns

    It fits in perfectly with the show 90% of the time. 

  • @ctpwns I love the music for his shows. If you watch Frankenhole there are some great musical moments

  • @Sacr3dG it was on morel orel , if you watch that

  • It was on Morel Orel

    the show on adult swim

  • Ive heard a lot of vocalists that sound like this. it probably wasnt Mountain Goats you heard.

  • The decemberist sound kind of like this

  • the decemberist sounds like an annual.

  • I don't usually slide show mvds but this was well done

  • this song remindes me of myself and my x-fiance because no matter how much we tried all we did was fight until we basicly distroyed eachothers emotions.....i hope you die, i hope we both die

  • this band makes me really anxious. my stomach turns..not a bad feeling just that amazing

  • @pestilentfrost i get the same feeling, weird :/

  • There is no hope here. This isn't a song crying about incompatible people. These people are 100% compatible. Unfortunately, their emotional damage is perfectly compatible.

    Two people consumed by hate for each other and themselves, locked together in a death spiral, each egging the other on, hoping the end comes soon but knowing that it will probably be long and painful, because when you stare into those eyes and see your own rotten sickness staring back, you can't look away. You can't run.

  • i think ive heard a mountain goats song ina commerical...or somewhere else idk...lead singer sounds very familiar

  • This song is so kewt =3

  • Makes me happy for some reason, lol.

  • i like this song because it so grim and depressing

  • just heard this song on moral orel tonight.its a bit grim.but i kinda like it.

  • Lol me too ^_^

  • first heard this on "Moral Orel" and after that i had to search for it..

    makes me sad though :c

    like... bringing a boat out into the ocean and just jumping off, swimming to the darkest depths possible, knowing that there's no possible way of making it back to the top alive..

  • Just discovered this song tonight, and I feel like crying but at the same time, i'm happy. I love this song. It makes me feel a little better about my life. Thanks for putting this song up, and making a video that compliments it so beautifully.

  • this song makes me so nostalgic.

  • Fantastic song, but I also love how you went from color to sepia and then back to color at the end. it's like flashing back to a memory. Well done, couldn't have picked a better song.

  • @Rygads Thank you!

  • Comment removed

  • yay!

  • best song ever. It just hits the nail on the head when it comes to people you love that have hurt you.

  • "and I hope when you think of me years down the line you can't find one good thing to say

    and I hope that if I found the strength to walk out

    you'd stay the hell out of my way." Love it.

  • pretty much sums up my feelings

  • love the song

  • I hope i lie and tell everyone you were a good wife..

    WOW!!

    JUST WOW!!

  • For me this represents a dangerous prevailing feeling in the world now and i'ld thank the Mountaingoats for giving it a "face" that everyone alive has worn or seen more than once. And am I the only one here who has to hear this sung in an Irish pub.

  • "i am drowning. hand in unlovable hand." love that part

  • Its

    "i am drowning, there is no sign of land,

    you are coming down with me

    hand in unlovable hand and i hope you die

    I hope we both die."

  • i hope u die, i hope we both die

  • awesome song and a really well made video :)

  • i love the mountain goats and this song

  • I think anyone who was in a failing relationship but trying to make it work can relate to this song. Its one of the best songs out there for this subject. It describes the absolute bleak, meager situations we get ourselves into with our boy/girl friend or husband/wife. In the end, sometimes you just feel trapped and there's no way out.

  • Comment removed

  • this soong is kinda messed up

  • "i hope i lie and tell everybody you were a good wife." god i love this song so much. its so beuutiful and sad

  • This song is pretty damn cool.

  • Fuck marriage

  • well put.

  • Amen to that

  • Nick Cave sung, All things move toward their end. On that you can be sure.

    This song is sorta a release and bright in the most nihilistic way. It is like a jazz funeral to me.

    I mean hey, at least their were no children involved. LOL

  • Is it normal that I cried over this song...? Because I've been going though a really F'd up relationship and I just broke up with this girl...

  • dont worry i cried once too over this song... during my break up

  • normal enough i hope cause im goin through shit like that too D:

  • @weewoo1010 Dont worry man. I was in a relationship way too much like this song describes. Everytime Id leave her house, Id steal a couple of beers from her fridge and walk home singing this song to myself over and over again in the middle of the night. It hurt, but it helped

  • @weewoo1010 To people who don't understand it, it's just like "What?" But people who get it...well its deep in actuality and yes can make you cry

  • i love moreal and now ilove his song.

  • Comment removed

  • He realizes that eventually everything will crumple, such as a nihilist would believe. Yet, it doesn't make sense when he has this love for her, in a realm where nothing is probable and we're products of millions of years of evolution... although the world is falling apart, we could never understand the darkness of everything, and in spite of it all, the hate, the dark, the emptiness, the hurt she has given him, he'll stay with her and ignore the natural human discrepancies. That's my analysis.

  • that's probably the best explanation for the song. the narrator will just look past all the crap he gets from his parner because he's scared of being without her

  • well said.

  • aw i forgot what i put lol!!

  • Hell yea fuck it all LOL! yea itotally agree with u 2

  • Comment removed

  • he cant find out how to leave his wife but has no where else to go so he would rather die then try to find a way out

  • Love this song, to me it seems like a guy who either truly loves his wife, but can't figure out how to express it, and he really hates himself for it, and he places all of his feelings of impotence and rage on his wife, so that though they do love each other (which we don't know, we only know that he loves her but feels undeserving of her love) their marriage is failing fast, and he wants out of it, but he doesn't want to live without her either, and he's too bitter to let her live without him

  • dark but loving a wonderful song

  • The most pessimistic love song i ever heard. beautiful in a dismal way.

  • I hope I'm listening to this song when I pass way

  • I think this song is about not giving a fuck, yeah.

  • Why does the song have to have a meaning?

  • Isn't it better for a song to have meaning than to have none? This band has so many insightful songs and songs that are meant to be thought about. Songs and stories in general are written from strong feelings and emotions. Of course they have meaning. And of course they are meant to be analyzed.

    Would you rather listen to a song with meaning, or would you rather listen to a song about the same-old same-old She broke my heart, I love her, I hate her, I want to get back together song?

  • This song always brings me close to tears. No song I know carries with it more meaning or more passion than this. Anger, resentment, hatred, and and underlying fear of the end. Powerful.

  • i thought that pearl jam and alanis morisette wer good. godamn was i mistaken.......

  • Thanks you Moral Oral for playing this song, i fucking love it

  • I am drowning, there is no sign of land!

    You are coming down with me, hand in unlovable hand!

    Great vid. 5 stars.

  • how many people watched this because of moral orel? this song depresses me

  • I first heard it on Moral Orel. I really like it but had a hell of a time finding it 'cuz I thought it was Weird Al, lol.

  • okay.... a little literal dont you think? i mean fences and you show fences junkyard and you show junkyard...have i already commented on this?

  • yeah, it's not the best video i've seen..

  • thank you so much. i was looking everywhere for this.

  • This really fits Moral Orel.

  • true that

  • this is great, i'm at work and i'm laughing my ass off thanks to these retarded posts..

    keep em coming!

  • i played this song to my ex when i found out she was cheating she was not amused i was tho i love this song esp the i hope you die part great memories

  • Good call.

  • even a song with vivid lyrics of gore couldn't be more morbid than this..... and to such a good melody. it's real, i like this.

  • heard this live

    incredible

  • I thought that Morel Orel was stupid... Though that Ep was good....

  • Seconded

  • i loved morel orel....but Christians hate it

  • i thought it was retarded...and im not christian...in fact i dont believe in god

  • well then that just means you have no sense of humor. Christians can hate it because it makes fun of their religion. but if your atheist than you are just lame. I'm Jewish. so i laugh my ass of at that show.

  • o well congrads on being jewish ....here lemme send u a picture of me not caring....

  • Jewboy, I'm Christian and I love the show.

  • Jewboy? Atheists are lame? can't everyone get along? This is why the world is so bad. And David if you claim to be Christian why would you call someone a Jewboy? In the Bible it says they are God's chosen people. Ian they make fun of Jews too just to let you know. and lastly Zero what does God have to do with any of it? It's a show. Not a sermon on how to live your life.

  • Do you have something against Jewboys?

  • No but it looks like you do.
