  • The first Mountain Goats song I ever heard. Really fun to play. The video cut out RIGHT at the end of the song, so I guess it was perfect timing.

    This is stupidly old and I know profunditynow probably hasn't thought about this channel in 10 years, but I listen to this cover more often than the original. If I sing this song, I prefer to sing this cover of it, as it gives the song a level of emotion that the original doesn't have. It's such an entrancing cover, and I love it to bits, despite the old quality and clear age of it. I've been listening regularly for 2 years now - can't say I'll ever get tired of it. Hope you're doing well out there, profunditynow, wherever you are! You made an absolutely banger cover

    Ik that this is late, but here's the lyrics:
    Fog lifts from the harbor, dawn goes down to day
    An agent crests the shadows of a nearby alleyway
    Piles of broken bricks, signposts on the path
    Every moments points toward the aftermath
    Sailors straggle back from their nights out on the town
    Hopeless urchins from the city gather around
    Spies from imperial China wash in with the tide
    Every battle heads toward surrender on both sides
    And I am coming home to you
    With my own blood in my mouth
    And I coming home to you
    If it's the last thing that I do
    Bells ring in the tower, wolves howl in the hills
    Chalk marks show up on a few high windowsills
    And a rabbit gives up somewhere and a dozen hawks descend
    Every moment leads toward its own sad end
    Ships loosed from their moorings capsize and then they're gone
    Sailors with no captains watch a while and then move on
    And an agent crests the shadows and I head in her direction
    All roads lead toward the same blocked intersection
    I am coming home to you
    With my own blood in my mouth
    And I am coming home to you
    If it's the last thing that I do

    It's so weird hearing a Mountain Goats song sung melodiously instead of nasally and shrill like John that I thought I didn't like this cover. I listened the whole way through and changed my mind. This is beautiful.

    Unique voice! and in a good way! not in a "hey I don't have anything really good to say so i'm just going to be polite" kind of way, its powerful! and yeah sure, intense but ya know, it can be a good thing! Great guitar work too, the ONLY thing I would say is that the chords are wrong, but even if you meant it or not, what good are covers If their isn't a bit of accedential or intentional improvisation on those sorts of things eh?
