Why are you coming to every Will Oldham video and posting the same fucking thing, PAULLONDEN? You're plain boring.

[jackogreen23]

Unfortuntely he kind of sucks live, or so it seems. I hate to say it because I listen to the album 24/7, but live, uhm, its all kind of boring. :(

@dantgood

sometimes it feels good to embrace the unforgiving parts of life

[daegrant]

Actually, Questpeace, I can hardly think of a musician less likely to. Oldham is no Cobain or Curtis. As someone once commented he specialises in joyful songs about death and joyless ones about sex. He can be wilfully difficult and his quality control wavers but when he's on song his beauty is breathtaking and uplifting. This is one of the finest songs I have heard this millenium

i see a beautiful man.

[ch90000]

Do you post this on every single Oldham video?

[Amotisthekiss]

If we're just talking about this song then it's not as dark as I could see him go. I mean second verse is very not-depressing, especially ending on "My best unbeaten brother/This isn't all I see" giving an almost new meaning to the end chorus. He likes the subtle stuff.
