“I saw you waiting by the roadside… you didn’t know that I was watching. Now you know. Let it all go” I feel like this song is the triumphant sequel to Cottons
Once in Florida after New Years, where i live every other day, my house, the school i used to go to. Idk. When you're fucked in the head it feels nice i guess, lol
This song reminds me of how much I love my sister for who she is- even if for 20 years that was my brother. We dont change because life stands still around us and i dont know if our old friends would recognize us. Or care.
@@TheTophat22 Oh she knows: We grew up in the house that dripped blood with parents who wanted no children but found a foster family who put the color in our cheeks, even after a coa dia blowout. They intruduced us to Jenny, made us real commadentes. You don't listen to the mountain goats you live it. Now if you'll excuse me im going to goergia, this time maybe she's worth it. Never let this world give you jam eater blues, hast tho consideted the tertapod?
i think of all the people who don't know i've transitioned whenever i listen to this song. it makes me sad bc most of those people don't know for a reason. thank you for being good to your sister
Oh no we still fight like normal siblings but I mean I respect her decision on that. Other things can keep people apart but I'm never going to condone or forget get. We are both grown people who respect we aren't compatible, we are human in short. But I do miss having someone to get high and watch TV with.
HOLY SHIT I FOUND IT, I've been listening to the mountain goats for like 3 years and this was one of the first songs I heard but I could never find it again to the point I convinced myself I dreamed it or it was some other band but finally after 3 years it has returned to me
I have one similar song that I just can't find. it was on CZcams and I was drunk. I can't find it on Spotify. I've listened to the whole discography many times over the years. I just can't find it. it played after I listened to a single off the Beat the Champ album before it dropped. but it was much older than that. and I just can't find it!
@@CommunistPanda1776 literally non other than it was strictly acoustic, and it was one their their more chorus focused songs. and it sounded really raw
And the new song, which has no title as of yet One, two three, four In comes you, not the same person i knew Looking roughly the same, but something hungry getting restless in your brain So there i go, not the same person that you used to know Peeking through the fisheye lens at you And the cornet blows where the oleander grows And us too, not the same people that our old friends knew And so down the street you head in the high summer heat White long-sleeved oxford pushed up to just before your elbows Black pumps and a medium length black skirt Eating a path through the dark damp earth I hope they've got plenty of money where you're going And the cornet blows where the oleander grows And us too, not the same people that our old friends knew

This happened because an old boyfriend played this video for me. We broke up 5 months later, both different people. I think he was trying to tell me something
Between this and Etheopians, John Darnell could have literally only made his cut B-side songs and would still worthy of being considered one of the best song writers alive
I got it when the other video got taken down lol. It occurred to me that others might not be so lucky so I put it back up. This is my favourite tmg song by far.
This song has everything and is timeless. I will never forget being a teenager buying this surprise recording from your hands
Ever enjoy a listen so much you restart it before it's even over?
Will never tire of this
Been my favorite TMG song for years.
Kimya Dawson helped write this song
I hope they've got plenty of money where you're going.

THANK YOU!
A great song. My life changed the day I started listening to The Mountain Goats.
My favourite song. ...And it's a B side. Love you John ^_^
this song makes me want to lay down on a sidewalk during the hottest part of day
I used to do that *way* too often

@@gaylothropmissinformed1046a wonderful response if I do say so myself.
"And us two, not the same people that our old friends knew" And just like that, I'm crying
This song reminds me of how much I love my sister for who she is- even if for 20 years that was my brother. We dont change because life stands still around us and i dont know if our old friends would recognize us. Or care.
This is really lovely
I am trans and me and my brother both really connect over tmg and this song, you should show your sister this song if she hasnt heard it!

AND THE CORNET BLOWSSS
something really familiar about this song. like it sounds like something else i’ve heard… i don’t know what it is.

Dude writes so much it's near impossible to find anything you don't have the name of.

@@Donsensical got any clues to go on? lyrics or something perhaps?

Dont forget your arms missed shots and track marks (hence the long sleeves, if you were ever curious ;) )
the chorus slaps me in the face every time i listen to this song
AND THE CORNET BLOWS
WHERE THE OLEANDER GROWS
AND US TWO
NOT THE SAME PEOPLE THAT OUR OLD FRIEND KNEW
I'd be funny to hear a compilation of all the -this song doesn't have a title yet- statements because his inflection is always wack
Was going crazy thinking I just made this song up.
me too
Holy shit. I'm (no longer) depressed!
FYI everyone kimya dawson sings and plays melodica on this song
Thanks for that bit of info. Like it even more now.
You’re an mvp for that tidbit
I did not want this info.
@@SB_-cf5zp why not? Do you dislike Kimya Dawson?
@@marcmt4171 nono. Don't know this guy. Just wanted to leave a comment that came to my mind. Was more of a joke
Looking roughly the same, but with something growing restless in your brain.
Song For The Ex You'll Never Bump Into Again And Knowing That Just Makes It Hurt More
damn bruh right in the feels thanks alright
Hi Joel.
Hi Joel.
😢
Songs like these make me wonder, why there is no loop button on YT?
There is now
Oh boy do I have good news...
This was the first song of theirs I ever heard
How??
Lucky!
This happened because an old boyfriend played this video for me. We broke up 5 months later, both different people. I think he was trying to tell me something
How did this not make the album?
It "made" the album and would have been a single. He intentionally wanted to keep it as a bit of a hidden gem
Between this and Etheopians, John Darnell could have literally only made his cut B-side songs and would still worthy of being considered one of the best song writers alive
As soon as it got through that first line I knew this would be a great one
I love u guys Me and my boy thank u
I want this song tattooed on my body, not the lyrics but the feel of the song somehow
Ryan Deslandes a tree dropping fruit
I have something I photoshopped. A corner with oleander coming out of it. It will be my next tattoo.
Want desire shame regret melancholy
I did this! I have an oleander tattoo
AND; the new song, which has no title as of yet.
Oooooomooooooooomomolmoooomomoomooo om oooooo om om oooooooooooomomommmmmmmmmmmmmmmamm?.. .W LO X XP.KJI.. DC.
"AND; the new song, which hasnoaofuhasldiufhals"
I still don't know why more people don't love TMG.
because most people have bad taste.
The people who don't are uncultured swines lmao 😂😁
Because they haven't heard it.
I live in Germany ... and it seems that I'm the only fan in this whole country
You cursed this. Now it's a tic toc thing.
I got it when the other video got taken down lol. It occurred to me that others might not be so lucky so I put it back up. This is my favourite tmg song by far.
It's fantastic. Thank you so much.
Thank you for bringing this back to youtube. As it turns out, it's actually really hard to get a copy of Letter from Belgium.
