LYRICS
I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come out with a fail-safe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us
I hope the fences we mended
Fall down beneath their own weight
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
I hope it's already too late
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
Someday burns down
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
And I never come back to this town again
In my life, I hope I lie
And tell everyone you were a good wife
And I hope you die
I hope we both die
I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
We're pretty sure they're all wrong
I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
And I hope you blink before I do
And I hope I never get sober
And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

I like how I listen to this and my ears go "Yeah this is No Children." And then you say "1 2 3 and" and my brain goes "Oh oh no THIS is No Children"
I showed this to my dad, who's been married for 40 or so years, and he had some interesting insight to the song. "I get that he's talking about divorce, but I think it's more about the loss of friendship" he said. In his mind, the separating yourself from a spouse is less traumatic, so to speak, because after a while, you've pretty much gotten used to your other half's shit. And barring any active attempts to harm the other or themselves, you stop registering the shitness, as it's just part of the commitment you've made to the other person. Some things just don't get better, or even worked on. And that's just life. However, he went on to tell me, the amount of pain you get from this tells you it's not about that. It's the confrontation with the concept that there's something unsalvageable about you and the other person, and there's nothing to do but separate. And this could apply to any relationship, not just a married couple.
So true, my ex ended up with my best friend at the time, ive seen him like 5 times since then and seen her about the same amount and i only miss mine as his friendship, an ex is just that but a lost friend will always be that as well.
Your dad seems like a wise man
When I was a young teen, a girl I was in adoration of at summer church camp took me under a tree alone and sang this to me. The moment I got home from that week of camp I ran to steal it from the internet and dive into your worlds.
It will forever be one of my favorite memories.
I'm 32 now and will always be a huge fan.
That's a brilliant story
this story sounds like a mountain goats song lmao i love it
This sounds lovely.
You guys married?
I dive into your worlds
What a fascinating thing to say
listening to john just ramble really makes me miss "i only listen to the mountain goats". he's just such a fascinating dude and even his non-thoughts are interesting to me.
Make sure to listen to all the other live stuff, the banter is some of the best parts of the shows. Learned so much about so many songs.
Same, so glad they added a bit of commentary to the Spotify release of JLS
You could also check out his audiobooks - he narrates them
He does it in concerts and it adds to the whole experience. 50/10.
Thank God for Jazz No Children
Oh no I was ready for the whole song as jazz!
I think the instrumental is much more jazzy, but I agree, I thought it was gonna be like the intro, which would have been even wilder.

All these years later “ You’re The Worst” brought me here and I’m glad it did!
So glad Moral Orel introduced me to the mountain goats
same
Amen brotha
same same
Absolutely
The tone on that bass is beautiful.
I love this song. It speaks to me and the feelings I had during my divorce. Your music was such a balm for me during the troubles. I'm glad the kids are listening to you.
I once felt sad and confused listening to this as it played on Adult Swim's Moral Orel... then later I shouted along with it at the top of my lungs racing alone down the interstate highway from the city my wife and I Iived in to the town where I grew up... and then later I shouted along with it at the top of my lungs with a view of the stage from the front row of a raised seating area in a tiny split level venue.
This seriously has been my all-time favourite song ever since I first heard it. I was never 'divorced' in a legal way. Split with women in all kind of ways. But just the well-brought, easy-to-buy, overwhelmingly honest emotion of the song I definitely can relate to regarding many other parts of life
I love seeing how much fun John is having here!
0:51 glad he's finally settled on a pronunciation
i would give anything just to sit around and watch you guys jam 😂 i promise I'm quiet 🥺
The comments here are gonna be great. Thank you for this present.
JAZZ NO CHILDREN
Thank the gods for this full release of Jazz No Children
Reminds me of when me and my old friend used to sing metal songs to the tune of old swing music, my favourite to do was always "let the bodies hit the floor"
Jon Wurster is king of the Ghost Note
Fuck yeah man. Guy is top notch.
As a teenager with divorced parents this song hits so hard. I recently walked out of my fathers house and I'm never going back and I've definitely been listening much more recently especially since the time my father called me a cunt. This song is so good.
all the live intros since he started doing this song as "jazz no children" before playing the song proper are SO funny. the times he talks about the sorry couples who ask him to play this at their wedding and he's like "no, thank you, but i'll play it for your divorce attorney"... i will never do his intro jazz no children banter justice know that he mixes up the banter every time and its even better every time. you'll just have to see them live for yourself :-)
It's almost weird that he gives a similar energy to Serj Tankain performing
It's the goatee/madness in his eyes.
OH YEAH! JAZZ NO CHILDREN BABEY!!
still wondering why this video was filmed so dark and grey lol. but fun version of the intro for sure. someday we'll get the whole jazzy version!
I mean, is it not perfectly fitting for this song?
Your beard looks like an actual mountain goat beard. Digging it.
Yesss!!!!
How can I not love this?
Thank you all so much.
I've been waiting for this for ages!
Thank god for the goats
love this
Pure catharsis
No, I'm not the roadie, I'm the mountain goats!
FINALLY
Rad, you guys. Glad youtube recommended this.
WOOO
As with most live Mountain Goats clips I come across, half the video is him just talking and giving context loll
Fuck yeah love to see the boys doing a family favorite 🤩 😍
They gave up tryin to save me...finally. It's been dark a long time. Breathe...
I hear Dancing in the Moonlight in the intro.
Pretty much all of the lake Jordan session recordings are "Jazz" versions, it's just kinda their sound now lol
Never thought I would hear a Jeff Beck mention here, cool
I'm just going to say it this is the better version
Or when you're in a relationship that is untenable and you're trying to choose between kids and feelings. We used to love each other.... sigh.
2:07
I guess we knew we were destined for failure when we made this one of our songs. Miss you. We'll meet again in Hell.
It's Boz Scaggs's "No Children"!
Indie Serj Tankian
"Woah woah! I got my divorce!"
FFS John, tune that thing!
someone get that mad a proper capo!
why does John Darnielle only hire sexy longhaired musicians?
clickbait, not jazzy at all!
