@rrch88 if we're getting technical the sun doesn't burn at all because burning implies oxidation. I guess we can assume that the line isn't intended to be super technically accurate.
@MrGameface Yeah, but the sun doesn't burn hard. it burns hot. I know what you're getting at but it's poor use of English. Then again who gives a shit.
@rrch88 mmhm, whenever my group does this bit we use "harder"and the crowd seems to react to it. I mean, sure- if you're burning hotter than the sun, you're pretty hot. But if you're burning harder than the sun, well..
the mountain goats sound awesome on recordings.
THEY SOUND GODLY LIVE.

Damnit, i can't do the solos because I only have one cymbal. The pains of having a children's drum kit!

John is my favourite musician of all time, period, but this is a weak Mountain Goats performance, imo.
He sounds sick, like he is getting over a cold.
Check out the live version of Nine Black Poppies he did for Spin, its on here.
Easily the best Darnielle live clip I've seen.

I totally agree with you. His voice doesn't sound like it usually does.

The lyric "hotter than the sun" might be cooler if it were "harder than the sun".

it would be cool to the extent that changing anything would be cool, but it wouldn't make sense at all in the context of the song!

The lyric would have the same meaning. "Harder" is just a more expression-ate word, imho.
"I will burn harder than the Sun"

@rrch88 Harder in this sense would mean with great intensity. Hotter would mean with greater heat. I think harder would have a stronger effect.
