I'm 17. Playing this song on repeat really makes me feel better when my parents treat me as if I'm forever under their authority. I only have ten more months until my 18th birthday. Ten. More. Months. Feels beautiful.
@rawrziethezombie hey buddy just letting you know you are not free when you turn 18. Unless you wanna go out get a job that will pay all your bills then you can call yourself free from your parents but then you are forever a slave to society. there is nothing but hopelessness awaiting you kid. don't be so stupid and reckless to get out so fast thank your parents for everything they have given you.
@21trofy I know that. Sometimes I just get frustrated when they think they know best for me when they don't even have their own lives figured out. I am very grateful and so thankful that I have them, but I'm just antsy to make my own decisions. And I don't think there's only hopelessness. You find your own happiness in the big pile of crazy that consists of this world. I'm going to college for creative writing; something I love. With an open mind, happiness will come.
Hey guys, a few nights ago I got to see the Mountain Goats perform this song live. I recently uploaded it so if you guys wanna check it out or anything, it's there!
Please keep all petty squabbles out of the comments. I may be unwilling to take down this video, but removing the comments won't be as difficult a decision to make.
Heard this live last night in Houston. Absolutely amazing. The memory of hearing a couple hundred people screaming "I AM GONNA MAKE IT THROUGH THIS YEAR IF IT KILLS ME" is gonna keep me going, I can tell. John Darnielle is a brilliant lyricist and musician and he's probably saved my life at least once. I hope there are other people as deeply affected by this as myself.
I am going to Dominate this year, tear it apart and beat it with bits of itself, crush it and own this fucking year if it kills me. Fuck you emily and fuck the twelve days of this wretched year, the rest of the year is mine and im going to take it at the tip of the sword.
@BrentonSucks (c) Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself! Chill your tits and learn how to insult better, if you're going to at all. Stop being such a decepticon.
@BrentonSucks Saying 'You're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. (c)
this song was shown to me 3 days ago.my mate came over, he came over knowing id broken up with my girlfriend but he never mentioned it and we drank the night away, knowing why. thank you luke and thank you mountain goats. much love henry! x
@FutureEmperor420 it's a passover reference. It's what you say during passover to say that next year we'll still be around, and we'll be celebrating at home.
this song is great...i'll make it thru this year now 4 sure!!! wats the song where he sings bout the headstones comin up the hill????? cant find it anywhere...
Whenever I hit a rough patch on this journey of life I'm straight to this song. Its almost like a victory song when I reflect on what we have come through so far with this tune ringing in my ears ! And a mantra to keep forging on no matter what!!
in june of 2010, my girlfriend committed suicide. not been sane since. thankyou very much for posting this. its very beautiful. 10 hospital visits so far. not functioning anymore. everyone who reads this, PLEASE love those you know. love is everything. the only thing. goodbye. i tried my best. this note is to her...A.M.O. thank you alyssa.
The Mountain Goats and this song saved my heart in early spring...let me know that everything would be alright, and I put my fist in the air and there was no going back. thanks, John Darnielle.
Hey guys. There is a chance that I may have to remove this video. Copyright issues and all that. It was bound to happen. I'm just surprised that it took over a year.
@megasupersharkattack make them take it down if thats what has to happen. tmg is too good not to be on here. there just amazing. i dont think there has been a band that has touched me the way they have. i wanna get drunk with john.
@rationalization2 Lol Don't be so cynical, I actually liked their stuff. I wasn't that big of a fan of their most popular song, but they have some really good original stuff. Plus the lead singer sounds like a younger John Darnielle.
@musicmanic544 Not cynical nor do I have a real opinion of the band. This retard however is going through every video he can find and telling people to listen to them. Spammers hurt band image in my mind.
@rationalization2 Haha true spammers suck, but at least it's not sex pills right? Some fans just get a little too over zealous trying to help their local musicians. But I figure if someone wants to work that hard to promote a band it's worth a listen. Usually these spammed bands suck but still, why not make somebody's day better?
They surprisingly sound good, they just need to get some better quality sound for their videos, and probably a new drummer lol.
Fans of good folk music should check out this band called Seraplane. They aren't too big right now but search them on youtube and listen for yourself!
WOW I definitely needed this song when I was going through some hard times last semester! I will recommend it to anyone I know who is going through hard times. :)
@Medafets omg my sentiments exactly. Hopefully Year 13 too.
