Island Garden Song // The Mountain Goats

i will sail to the far shore, and i will chop a hole in the hull too big to repair, and i will turn the soil with my hands, and i will make my home there. my garden will grow so high. my garden will grow so high that i will be completely hidden. i will go where i will go, and i will jettison all dead weight, and i will use these words for kindling, and i will sleep by the garden gate. my garden will grow so high. my garden will grow so high that i will be completely hidden.

The Society of Poor Academics - Ethiopians (Mountain Goats cover)

I really love this. Favourite cover of one of my favourite songs.

Out-of-tune pianos - one of my favourite instruments.

"Lord if I make it through tonight
then I will mend my ways and walk the straight path to the end of my days."

+ encores

They handed this to us as we walked in - major set list spoilers! I liked it though. It was a bit like having liner notes the first time you listen to an album.

I’m really excited for Transcendental Youth.

I am going to see the Mountain Goats tomorrow for what must be the fifth or sixth time.

I think this video of John performing encapsulates pretty much everything I love about the Mountain Goats.

I love his enthusiasm. I love his unprejudiced love of everything. I love how he built on his past. I love his words.

If it weren’t for the Mountain Goats I wouldn’t have discovered the vlogbrothers which really helped me to become less ashamed of who I was. I wouldn’t have met the people I met from the forums and I wouldn’t have been a part of HWNtMG which was one of the first things that made me believe I could be a worthwhile part of something.

I think a lot of us started out by yelling “I am going to make it through this year if it kills me” as teenagers and believing it with a conviction we weren’t sure we could feel.

And even though I don’t need bands to save my life anymore I still really really really love the Mountain Goats.

Feelings, man.
