New video for Temazcal available on MoF's official CZcams; check it out! / monstersoffolk Daily Conor Oberst quote and occasional picture: oberstquotes
Reminds me of my grandson who died at the age of 27. This was one of his favorites. He sang like an angel, now he is one. I cry every time I hear this.
@@berthasghost7814 thank you for your comment. I will never stop remembering him. Some memories are heartbreaking but most are joyful and Im thankful that he was in my life.
I am so sorry for your loss. This album is a truly beautiful way to remember someone. It’s one of my favorites. I hope you and your family are finding some semblance of peace in healing.
I've listened to this album countless times. I still believe that this is the creme-de-la-creme of the whole effort. Should be an Americana classic, in my opinion.
This is absolute magic. I revisit it once every few years and it still hits just like the first time. These four create something that can't be described, or reproduced.
still my favorite MOF song. I prefer the version on the record where M. Ward sings, but this version is also beautiful. Can visualize this song, although it has been long since I've travelled by train.
Ive been getting into this album lately. its been cold here in Vancouver, like minus 10. I drive to work at like 430 in the morning, dark and ice cold. and this song comes on, little snowfalkes falling and me driving. its otherworldly.
M Ward in the live version does this song alot more justice but this is so amazing! These guys together make each other better. Really hope they tour again soon!
This is modern day Traveling Wilburys! Jim James to Roy Orbison Mike Mogis to Jeff Lyne Conor Oberst to Tom Petty and Bob Dylan and M. Ward to George Harrison This is a large amount of talent and love and i love all of it!
if no other media such as news, tv, literature, existed besides MoF, the world might just get thrown into another Ice Age due to the level of chill that would follow listening to them all the time :)
Such an amazing version (i.e much better than the album one). It's strange - it's haunting but makes me feel very content. Can imagine travelling by train across the US listening to this non-stop.
No it's not. I Think it's definetly Will Johnson, drummer of MoF. He also sang this on the live show I was. His record 'Vultures Await' is something everyone must listen who likes MoF
@mkrugkill Love the comparison. I thought about a moder-day Traveling Wilburys after hearing Jenny Lewis' version of "Handle With Care" and it isn't too far off from this. I think someone like Ben Gibbard in the Orbison role would be awesome (as it was in that version) but I don't know that I'd ever want to hear a MoF song without Jim James in it!
@mkrugkill I would say that's a little off. Jim James is more relatable to George Harrison, and M. Ward has definitely got the Bob Dylan vibe going, with the glasses and scruffy voice. the others fit pretty nicely

@@SteveOmiix it's beautiful to be sad about someone you love... don't take that away
lol

His taste in music was great too.
May he rest easy and may God bless you!

This is still one of the very best songs I've ever heard. Deserves to be an absolute Americana standby
100%
the contrast of Jim and M.Ward's voice is like almost enlightening.

This is one of those songs that makes you stop doing whatever you're doing and just listen. It's breath taking.
Still SLAPS in 2022 🙌🏾
M. Ward's voice is so freaking amazing!
MOF is such an amazing band. Wish they'd give us another album.
Me too!! Saw them at ACL and it was awesome I'd love to see them live again
128,126 thousand views are me, simply replaying this body of art. This is absolutely beautiful.
i just adore this track its been ten years and nothings changed
well, lots has , but still love it
still my favorite MOF song. I prefer the version on the record where M. Ward sings, but this version is also beautiful. Can visualize this song, although it has been long since I've travelled by train.
This is absolutely beautiful... Music for the soul.
I love this track so much, it's so haunting and I'm haunted...
love the entire album! one of my personal favorites of all time!
Just masterful. The epic sound of passionate singers who voices ring in harmony-over the top in every good, possible way.
Ive been getting into this album lately. its been cold here in Vancouver, like minus 10. I drive to work at like 430 in the morning, dark and ice cold. and this song comes on, little snowfalkes falling and me driving. its otherworldly.
i just found these guys while watching bright eyes videos... im liking it a LOT!
Beautiful version. Was lucky enough to catch this tour a number of years ago. Looking forward to more.
I keep coming back to this song. I soothes my mind. Whatever will be will be. Their voice makes me want to cry with joy.
JAMES IS AN ALL AROUND AMAZING TALENT. There is still good music around, and still being made. You just have to know where to look
M Ward in the live version does this song alot more justice but this is so amazing! These guys together make each other better. Really hope they tour again soon!
Yes, i'm here because of the trailer of "Scenes of a marriage", new HBO Series.
that is so freaking cool that they have a different member sing their songs in these videos. sweet.
I realize that people are entitled to opinions. But who are the 4 hard of hearing people that didn't like this??
this is the kind of music that is capable of BIG things. i have so much respect for these guys
I could cry...
The harmonies in this are perfect. Bravo boys.
This is modern day Traveling Wilburys!
Jim James to Roy Orbison
Mike Mogis to Jeff Lyne
Conor Oberst to Tom Petty and Bob Dylan
and M. Ward to George Harrison
This is a large amount of talent and love and i love all of it!
Nine miles away is monster locomotive repair terminal, in this big train town. Cumberland,Md. Nice!
if no other media such as news, tv, literature, existed besides MoF, the world might just get thrown into another Ice Age due to the level of chill that would follow listening to them all the time :)
wow..this song could have been written...100 years ago excellent..thes guys are fantastic.
@bubsadoozy
That's exactly it, it is a 12 string electric mandolin has a really beautiful tone.
Gute Musik zaubert mir immer ein Lächeln auf mein Gesicht, weil der Text mir aus dem Herzen spricht... Thank you! I love your music
My favorite song on the album.
Mr. Ward, Mr. Oberst, Mr. Mogis & Mr. James.....My ears need no more.!!
heroes of folk is more like it ‼
seriously fellas, beatles as a kid
&, now, rocking out of this world
with you guys is excellent ♫
Such an amazing version (i.e much better than the album one). It's strange - it's haunting but makes me feel very content. Can imagine travelling by train across the US listening to this non-stop.
Thanks for sharing, Annie. I don't like monsters but I like folk music, the sandman and trains. :)
Beautiful.
Looks like a Gibson Lg-1, which I am about to purchase in two days.
this is what beauty is.
well said.
Beautiful. That's all that needs to be said. :)
What a beautiful jam
It's not a jam song. It's well prepared, well performed musical, colaborative art.
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Perfect comparison
Crolande -- Agree with you on the CSNY comparison.
beautiful.
Very Nice Boys!
Dear MOF:
Can I hang out with you guys? Can I be the fifth Monster? Pleeeeeeease?
Sincerely,
MIdget of Folk
he's voice like angle breaths, so calm :)
you guys must to work in another album!!
I'm seeing them in Austin this Friday!
amazing.
Magic guys. Nice one
Son muy buenos estos tíos.
Jim's fucking pipes, man.
man I want to melt when I hear this, sooo much better than the album version. I would die to see them live.
Enjoyed every bit of it
omg these guys just ignite so well togather
As much as I absolutely love M.Ward, I think I like this version better.
This one should be on the record... it's way better than the one on it...
Jim James, oh you beautiful son of a bitch.
For Carol and Jimmy D . and all the Rannoch crew :)
No it's not.
I Think it's definetly Will Johnson, drummer of MoF. He also sang this on the live show I was.
His record 'Vultures Await' is something everyone must listen who likes MoF
Freakin awesome!
Modern day Traveling Wilburys
Oh yes Yim owns this I wish they had recorded him singing on the album version
Oh my god this is so good what 2 heck
@mkrugkill Love the comparison. I thought about a moder-day Traveling Wilburys after hearing Jenny Lewis' version of "Handle With Care" and it isn't too far off from this. I think someone like Ben Gibbard in the Orbison role would be awesome (as it was in that version) but I don't know that I'd ever want to hear a MoF song without Jim James in it!
In this video, Jim James from My Morning Jacket sings lead vocals, but on the album, Ward does.
This is astonishing. Gets me everytime.
me too.
*LOVE*
you are indeed right and this is epic..but there is part of me that dreams of a "featuring Tony Dekker"..
@theantibling obviously conor oberst is no bob dylan but they both fall in the same falsetto vocalized folky music category.
fenomenalno, do samog kraja
This is much better than the album version.
Masterly masterful.
[Masterful].
wow
Theses guys could create more another album
CONOR OBERST!
are these alternative versions available for download or on an album? please, please keep ridin' that train!!
C'mon guys, how about a monsters of folk vol ii?
i saw them at the roxy in london and they were amazing yim and ward especially, the album seems to lack a bit of hunger for me x
Pure genius!!!
@samcare goat voices my man, goat voices. (ella fitz, bob dylan, petty, devendra banhardt, conor oberst)
@davemcconn That's my favorite part of the whole tune
I appreciate the willingness to experiment but still prefer the original album version of just M Ward. I think it's one of his best.
Sounds amazing at 2:11! How does he change his voice like that...
falsetto..
this is M Ward!!!
fucking love this song its on like a muslim prayer 5 times a day
Can anyone tell me the intrument Mike Mogas is playing? 12 string mandolin?
jim+m=heaven
I would kill for a gibson acoustic... =(
@mkrugkill I would say that's a little off. Jim James is more relatable to George Harrison, and M. Ward has definitely got the Bob Dylan vibe going, with the glasses and scruffy voice. the others fit pretty nicely
Uh oh. Great old(ish) song with only minor recognition at the time gets put in a big new tv series. Wave of new comments incoming.
this song reminded me of bob dylan's "tamborine man"
definitely my favourite MOF song, as sung by M. Ward. This version is ok, but not as beautiful as the original versionl
Excellent!.......is that a mellotron I'm hearing?
What is that instrument Mike Mogus is playing? A mandoline? Its beautiful
