i think so so much about "such gestures are noble and doomed", about jenny. noble and doomed. all the kindness and noble acts in the world could never have made it end any different. but the tragedy also can't overwrite the good things she did for the people she cared for.
This is a very old song that I seldom play anymore. (excited crowd sounds)
I can't play old songs with a pick. I didn't use a pick for a long time, I was very, very macho about this sort of thing. If you're not bleeding for it, it doesn't count. That is the dumbest way of thinking (laughs), absolutely—absolutely the dumbest.
The old songs don't work as good unless I'm fully doing the thing.
the mountain goats make music for people who spent their entire lives convinced they would die before they were 17 except now they're 26 and they have a job and friends and hobbies and they're not sure what they're meant to do now that they've survived
its less than a week til you've made it through this year if it kills you, so turn on the song and prepare to leave some snacks for the mountain goats on new years eve
