    LYRICS
    Turn the volume up real high
    All of that money look at it fly
    And you smoking like a chimney
    Shadows crawled across the living room's length
    I held onto you with a desperate strength
    With everything with everything in me
    And I handed you a drink of the lovely little thing
    On which our survival depends
    People say friends don't destroy one another
    What do they know about friends?
    Thunderclouds forming cream white moon
    Everything's going to be okay soon
    Maybe tomorrow
    Maybe the next day
    Carried you up the stairs that night
    All of this could be yours if the price is right
    I heard cars headed down to oblivion
    Up on the expressway
    Your drunken kisses as light as the air
    Maybe everything that falls down eventually rises
    Our house sinking into disrepair
    Ah but look at this showroom filled with fabulous prizes

    This song translates surprisingly well to a rollicking alt country feel

    the combination of love and angst expressed in this song put it on my top ten list.
    your drunken kisses as light as the air
    maybe everything that falls down eventually rises…

    This one has gotta have some of the most potent and relatable lyrics to my life right now, stuck sharing an apartment with a former friend who turned out to be an absolute piece of shit, with nothing but contempt, and alcohol the only thing making this situation somewhat bearable. 2 months until the lease is out at least

    This song made me think about potential energy.Potential energy is usually described like what goes up must come down or whatever, but what about on a galactic scale, where do our atoms end up eventually? Is it in some black hole somewhere, and then repacked into some pre big bang ball of everything? What is our potential energy over a long long time?

    • @curvy4655

      Eventually, all those potential energies even out and everything settles into a uniform blank slate, lacking the energy for anything to affect anything else. Everything, even black holes, just burns out in the end. Probably. And over time long enough to be practically meaningless on a human scale

    john darnielle you are my absolute favourite - an unknown pinnacle
    BUT
    my goodness, you do like to do live versions of these perfect acoustic/melancholy songs with a band and completey ruin the feeling of the song
    i mean the fans seem to like it ahaha what do i know
