@GSniffchin we mountain goat fans are a dignified bunch :D

John Darnielle is brilliant and could play his music on a plastic toy guitar and still be wonderful `cause his songs are sublime but.......please go back to your Guild guitars John. That 'Rainsong' guitar has no soul and sounds thin and tinny in my opinion.

@Mouldytone it could be its plugged directly into the sound board unlike the bass which is through an amp making it sound tinny sometimes a preamp in the ampflier can really alter the sound or it could just be the strings

@Mouldytone This may be the first time I've ever seen the words 'I respect your opinion' used in a Youtube comment. How refreshing. :)

my fave song from all eternals deck

[Mouldytone]

@jeffreyweg That`s a fair point. As a collector of vintage steel string guitars I acknowledge my possible bias without considering the basic fact that recording acoustic instruments can be very difficult. I`ve never played a Rainsong brand guitar but believe that they are a very well made instruments which have many advantages especially for touring musicians.

[Mouldytone]

@undathebridge Yeah mate I recon we all have different "ears" when it comes to music don`t we. I respect your opinion.

[undathebridge]

the lyrics to this song sound like they could have gone to a decemberists song

[undathebridge]

@Mouldytone i disagree, i think it matches his voice well. it sounds very pure, like a sheet of paper, it's very non-intrusive. it blends well. i like it.

[jeffreyweg]

@Mouldytone Could just be the recording.
