i played this song on my guitar and sang this song on my wedding it seem to fit perfect to our relationship we always had problems weather it was with family or whatever....and she started to cry....best night of my life...and im 26 looking forward to many more memories with her....
Tallahassee is my favorite tMG album, and this is my favorite song on it. I just love how in the opening instrumental, you can just hear the fight that's left it. He's resigned to this doomed romance. He knows they'll never really work, they never have, but he hasn't been able to leave before, so he'll stick it out if she will.
@MsMeguca A hipster professes a vague, shallow interest in a non-traditional or esoteric subject in order to bolster their social standing as a non-conformist and trend setter.
When a guy says (without a shred of irony) that he really gets the Mountain Goats and wants to play Old College Try at his wedding, I am forced to say "You're a fucking hipster and this music is above you."
"Anybody can interpret anything however they want!" is the war-cry of the tasteless and shallow.
I can't peak for him but there is a certain ironic (fuck you hipsters haven't claimed this word yet) beauty to this song. It expresses a knowledge of the pitfalls of marriage and shows that you are fully aware that this could be a huge mistake, but you're willing to bet it's not.
Judging by your misuse of the word weeaboo I don't trust your use of the word hipster either.
This song is so sad. I hate to think that I'd spend a lot of time in a relationship that would be similar to a trash can fire in a prison cell. It's just so sad as the writer seems to be on the edge of going into a relationship destined to fail. And its not a fail like everyone will just go their separate ways. This is an imminent separation laced with a bitter pill of some deeply disturbing feelings. Yet I would bet money that the writer was going to be miserable with or without the realation
@LilTortillaBoy420 you comment as much as me and I defended you when the shitload of people ganged up on you about that comment when you said you hated emos can we just get along todays my birthday check my file I love weed too Mostly k2 lately and the liltortillaboy from that commedian that did that cool voice arnold cant spell his last name in liltortilla boy we cool.
@RAZORPREADATOR dude i saw ur comment on the weed and k2 thing, try this shit called darkness bra :) its waaaaay beter than k2, i dont like synthetics and i actualy like this shit :) its like weed but it lasts longer and it gets you higher :)
This is such a beautiful song, and it feels so much more real than most love songs. "We are terrible for each other, but I love you so much that if you allow, I will follow this road to its end; I will be with you until we destroy each other."
@dwhit8 Thank you so much for getting the point of the Alpha Couple. Please explain this concept to every hipster you meet, since this album is apparently the newest thing for people to relate their shallow relationship-of-the-moment to.
If you haven't yet, please look up the Tallahassee liner notes on Google and also the album website on Internet Archive. It's totally worth it.
Go read the 1) lyrics 2) liner notes and 3) website for Tallahassee. You can find all three on Google and they bear John Darnielle's unique fingerprint.
The whole album's about the "Alpha couple", this depressed married couple who have grown to hate each other yet are perfectly compatible in all the wrong ways, pushing each other to drink and self-loathe and wait for death. This song is their solemn pledge to each other, a kind of suicide pact.
@EntropicMisanthropic i don't agree that the alpha couple are truly in a state of distopia in their lives, they're both depressed and codependent but in the end they always know there will be the other, even if on some days it seems like all is hopeless and lost, and that death seems the best option. Just think of whoever's version you would like to of "Love Hurts." Even the liner notes point to the fact that when love gets hot it burns like summer heat.
it's vague enough to fit almost everyone. when my husband and i first started dating, we assured each other we weren't as good as the other thought we were, and we apologized for how we'd be when we really got to know each other. we promised that we'd stay together as long as we could but that we'd end it before we started to hate each other. we didn't.
I first heard this song from the comic Friendly Hostility, when the author made a playlist of songs to be listened to when reading the last few pages. This was the song for the last page. The comic's very well written/drawn and definitely worth a read if you have the time
I feel really sorry for everyone that is saying that this song perfectly fits their lives. This is not a song about the good life or deep love. It is a song about your love totally falling apart, but your lives remaining together. I wouldn't wish the feelings in this song on anyone. It is an amazing song though.
@FoeMike i agree with your first bit of the good life...but it is a song of love....most marriages lose there spark...but its the love of staying togethor till the end....that although the spark is gone the love is there...like when he speaks of her eyes...the beauty of the song is through the endurance of there love....no matter how disfunctional it is
I heard this song on morel orel, it feels to me like a song about forced happiness.. which is true about many religious families, christian especially. it makes me very sad.
Why would anyone want to play such a negative song at a wedding? Don't get me wrong, I f'ing love this song! It's just not a happy song! I don't see how anyone could get confused.
@armoredfalconoid71 Marriage should be happy but the sad reality is that a large chunk of marriages end in divorce and of those that don't, who knows how many become unhappy like the "Alpha Couple." By playing this song, a couple acknowledges that love and life aren't perfect, but they're going to give it the Old College Try and do their best to make it work. By saying "I do" they are promising, for better or worse or through the parking lots of hell, to go down to the end with each other.
What I love about the Mountain Goats is that nothing feels like it is overstated. The music and the lyrics sound so down-to-the-ground. Yet it always gives you this horrible, subtle feeling dismantling the pleasure center in your brain with a second-hand spade, telling you that everything is awfully wrong. Strangely you always feel better afterwards.
An issue of the old Marvel series ROM: Space Knight. That or an X-Men comic, seeing as this is back when Rogue was still a villain. ROM was the shit, man.
@mercurymimosa I assume you don't want your marriage to work out to well, then. "I will come all the way down with yet" is not a good thing. Nor is "Our love has never had a leg to stand on" or "I can feel it in the rotten air tonight".
@mercurymimosa Not to minimize your feelings, but you're clearly a fucking hipster who doesn't understand anything about the Alpha Couple.
This shit isn't a joke, and if you're playing this shit at your wedding you don't need to be getting married, but instead running for the exit while there's still time.
The point of the Alpha Couple is that they're both hell bent on self-destruction, but they can't help themselves.
Unless you plan on being dead from alcohol in the next year, please stfu.
@EntropicMisanthropic You obviously don't know jack about interpretation, intent and context. I agree that, in context, this song is not to be played at weddings, but alone, it can be. Interpretation shouldn't be just focused on intent and macro.
@EntropicMisanthropic I have an idea! How about you breathe deeply, calm down, and appreciate this work of art, rather than overreacting over how someone misinterpreted it? You and I both know John Darnielle wouldn't want you to be so concerned over such a little thing.
It's an easy mistake to make; maybe the commenter didn't know this was from Tallahassee.
So let's just listen to this fucking beautiful music, close our eyes, and pretend that no one else exists
@mercurymimosa You want a song about two people realizing all they will ever do is destroy each other and hurt each other but they're just going to stay together and be misserable to be your wedding song? That's insane.
From the house tops to the gutters. From the ocean to shore. The warning signs have all been bright and garish, and far to great in number to ignore. From the cities to the swamplands, from the highways to the hills, are love has never had a leg to stand on, from asprins, to the cross tops, to the Elovils? But I will walk, down to the end, with you, if you will come, all the way down, with me...
From the entrance to the exit is longer than it looks from where we stand. I want to say I'm sorry
for stuff I haven't done yet. Things will shortly get completely out of hand. I can feel it in the rotten air tonight. In the tips of my fingers, in the skin on my face. In the weak last gasp of the evenings dying light. In the way those eyes I've always loved illuminate this place. Like a trash can fire in a prison cell. Like the search lights in the parking lots of hell. I will walk down to the end, with you, if you will come all the way down with me.
Get on it. Amazing show that started off as a funny satire of an overly christian town with its real problems. Then the last season took a turn showing the deep terrible sadness and irony of how messed up people really are even though they look completely different on the outside. That said, the last season was monumental and awesome.
Not only did they use they use The Mounain Goats, but the lyrics to the song "No Children" fit perfecly with the theme of the show. Look up "Numb Morel Orel" and will see how much the music affected the actual show. You might need to watch it from the beginning to get it...but either way, an amazing show.
Thanks I love this song, heard it via Morel Oral & am happy to find it here. Oddly & funnily enough, it reminds me of my husband & our relationship, now 12 years & counting! We went through each other's Hell & did not back down and stayed together. He is my soul mate & the best man I have ever known, this is dedicated to you Beloved, I will always walk all the way down with you, no matter what happens, positive or negative, our love will only grow stronger.
Don't watch that much Morel Orel, but I'm delighted to see this song has made it onto Adult Swim. Essentially the soundtrack for my stay in Scandinavia.
this song makes me feel both sad and happy but its meaning holds somthing that reasures me that everything will be ok :D perfect song to learn and play for my gf
heard this on moral orel episode help i saw help when it was the final 13 on adult swim but my first and fav episode is the lords prayer the 1 where orel meets christina
I think the last 13 episodes of moral orel where the best of the series! You really get attached to the charactors and there struggles, I can't really remember the last time I got emotinaly involved in that way, and when it showed orel as a grown up it was just incedible.
i played this song on my guitar and sang this song on my wedding it seem to fit perfect to our relationship we always had problems weather it was with family or whatever....and she started to cry....best night of my life...and im 26 looking forward to many more memories with her....

Get on it. Amazing show that started off as a funny satire of an overly christian town with its real problems. Then the last season took a turn showing the deep terrible sadness and irony of how messed up people really are even though they look completely different on the outside. That said, the last season was monumental and awesome.

@brewskhee It must be a pretty cool show if they play The Mountain Goats.

Not only did they use they use The Mounain Goats, but the lyrics to the song "No Children" fit perfecly with the theme of the show. Look up "Numb Morel Orel" and will see how much the music affected the actual show. You might need to watch it from the beginning to get it...but either way, an amazing show.

@EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY THE POSTER:
Thanks I love this song, heard it via Morel Oral & am happy to find it here. Oddly & funnily enough, it reminds me of my husband & our relationship, now 12 years & counting! We went through each other's Hell & did not back down and stayed together. He is my soul mate & the best man I have ever known, this is dedicated to you Beloved, I will always walk all the way down with you, no matter what happens, positive or negative, our love will only grow stronger.

"In the way those eyes I've always loved
Illuminate this place
Like a trash can fire in a prison cell
Like the searchlights in the parking lots of Hell
I will walk
Down to the end
With you
If you will come
All the way down
With me"

Does anyone know if these "Alpha Series" songs are based on actual experiences the singer had or if they are all just concept songs?

I can't tell if this is the most romantic or depressing song I've ever heard. Probably both.

Don't watch that much Morel Orel, but I'm delighted to see this song has made it onto Adult Swim. Essentially the soundtrack for my stay in Scandinavia.

I think the last 13 episodes of moral orel where the best of the series! You really get attached to the charactors and there struggles, I can't really remember the last time I got emotinaly involved in that way, and when it showed orel as a grown up it was just incedible.

You know, I always said I would go through the things in this song for love...and nothing has changed!
When it looks like the darkness and the hurt is too much to deal with, what do you do?
When you love someone, truly love someone, when do you get to that point when enough is enough?
NEVER!
(yes I got that from The Mexican. God bless James Gandolfini)
I will walk down to the end with you
if you will come all the way down with me
