2023 and still listening to this gem

[@tg343441]

"One night he sang. Macondo woke up in a kind of angelic stupor that was caused by a zither that deserved more than this world and voice that led one to believe that no other person on earth could feel such love. Pietro Crespi saw the lights go on in every window in town expect that of Amaranta. " Do your sensuality a favor and buy read this book if you haven't yet

[@searplays820]

Best book ever. Reading for the fourth time. Gets better everytime.

[@acct5910]

One of the most tragic characters in all of lit.

[@mouse_eater]

I tried to play this on my electric acoustic while at a gig and it just became The Sad Buzzing Of Piezo Pickups

[@ConstantClimbMusic]

Ultimate Raptor Of Greatness and Fertility underrated comment

[@benconnor3206]

Ultimate Raptor Of Greatness and Fertility hahaha bless you

[@danielbuhr4260]

Great comment, next time just mic the guitar for better results. Most piezo sounds terrible. Haven't used mine in years and the low notes make it rattle a little it's so annoying. Tip for starting musicians looking to gig: buy the nicer guitar without the electronics and just mic it at shows.

Can't believe this was made 12 years ago and I am just now hearing this masterpiece

[@VVVHHHSSS]

I saw him live at a free show in Plymouth, NH-this song blew me away. He mentioned it was tuned to dadgad and I’ve never stopped using that tuning 😂

[@brokenlock037]

"Amaranta, however, whose hardness of heart frightened her, whose concentrated bitterness made her bitter, suddenly became clear to her in the final analysis as the most tender woman who had ever existed, and she understood with pitying clarity that the unjust tortures to which she had submitted Pietro Crespi had not been dictated by a desire for vengeance, as everyone had thought, nor had the slow martyrdom with which she had frustrated the life of Colonel Gerineldo Marquez been determined..."

[@jaed005]

"Cien años de soledad" es mi novela favorita, esta canción describe perfectamente el amor en solitario de la obra

[@tardonamoto9]

Owen is perfect to play on those lazy days or when you're hungover.

[@SwordTrunks]

this video puts me in tears

[@Bucboy1001]

I love this song and for the sake of curiosity I looked up who Pietro Crespi was. Damn that just made this song ten times more depressing.

[@santiagoeag]

100 años de soledad es una de las razones por las cuales me da gusto hablar español

[@brokenlock037]

...by the gall of her bitterness, as everyone had thought, but that both both actions had been a mortal struggle between a measureless love and invincible cowardice, and that the irrational fear that Amaranta had always had of her own tormented heart had triumphed in the end." ~Gabriel Garcia Marquez, pg. 249. I just wanted to post this so people would stop saying Amaranta had no heart. She was just flawed and she was probably one of my favorite characters in the story.

[@jazzytrumpet12]

I agree we should not ignore her heart and love that was there, but by the time she died she had none left. It slowly dwindled until it was gone, first through rejecting Pietro and then Colonel Marquez and then through abusing her grandson and then refusing even a minute of reconciliation on her deathbed with her sister, Rebeca, who she hated her entire life (p 303). We are all flawed as well, but Amaranta gave into fear and ran away from love, hiding her heart in her chest which led to abuse and self-hatred that she never overcame. I think that she is a great character insofar as she embodies the completely wrong reaction to this turmoil of her soul that many including myself, experience. In the end she let her fear of being vulnerable to people entomb and kill her heart before it stopped beating. She turned to piercing her fingers (298) with needles in order to feel punished for the misery she had welling up inside her heart. (references are not matched to your book). Sorry for this spewing on a random post 9 years old, but I just had a book group about these chapters and vehemently disagree that she was "just flawed." I think she could have come back from her brokenness but that Amaranta made a concerted effort to avoid any redemption, just like most Buendias in Marquez's grand tragedy.

I downloaded the demo of this song on myspace about seven years ago. Still one of my all time favs.

[@versnellingspookie]

BaxterX7 can you mail me that demo? I'd be forever grateful for it!

[@danielisokay]

Mike is one of the best songwriters of all time, it's hilarious at times

[@lanerj]

I love this song so much, I wanna learn how to play it super bad but my fingers still need some (a lot) more breaking in.

[@searplays820]

[@chris4806]

Recuerdo que cuando leí cien años de soledad este fue mi personaje favorito, gracias a el termine de leer el libro y nació mi amor por la lectura, gracias por la canción

[@ryanmurphy9355]

Edit: got my dog back! But this video still makes me sad.

[@Superkirbeh]

@@ryanmurphy9355 im happy you got your dog back. reading your comments and watching this video made me hug my dog so tightly. I hope your pet is doing okay

[@theburningffkawaii]

"Cuz I lie awake waiting for you to lay beside me, I can almost hear the sad waltzes of pietro crespi..." Damn hits home everytime haha

[@WolReaper]

pretty good song, and pietro crespi is a character in marquéz´s book One Hundred Years of Solitude, and this song just fits to the book,I can´t help my self!:D great!

[@Gnarrkhaz]

blown away. just...wow

[@shelbatr0n]

SO EXCITED. To see Mike on the 24th.

[@ちゃん黶]

Could you love someone enough After all you've had and you've lost? It's a simple question I'm only asking 'cause I don't want to die alone could you love someone completely? And yes, by someone I mean me Spoiled sick like milk you let sit too long It's a simple question As I lie awake waiting for you to lay beside me I can almost hear the sad waltzes of Pietro Crespi could you love someone who does whatever he wants to do Whenever I want to? It's a simple question I'm only asking 'cause I don't want to die alone

[@Tito_Mikko]

I bought the book because of this song.

[@bluishfireworks]

i have very mixed feelings about this song. a part of me loves this song because it's ridiculously beautiful and because it references "one hundred years of solitude" which is one of my favorite books. another part of me hates it because it just makes me feel so goddamn lonely. ;-;

[@MegaShibalba]

AMAZING SONG:)

[@KibbysGhost]

oh my dog the crying dog with no eyes made me SO sad. why??

[@positivepig]

yea, but the best (? most interesting? saddest?) part is when all those brothers come home and make the ancestors/nieces/descendants (girls) of these people dance to the waltzes in a whole new context (sorry). history coloring the present, history still influencing things and all that good stuff. rite? amirite? (i'm wrong)

[@anidaguila]

i love that book!

[@stickysponge]

...But why did the dog have to blast off? :'(

[@mattymuchacho]

So, you too have read One Hundred Years of Solitude.

[@blacklava4978]

You mean the book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez? I havnt read that one but I read several other. Beautiful, brilliant author. I hope we are talking about the same thing. lol.

[@fpp4life23]

it's part of 100 years of solitude written by Gabriel Marquez...they never said it was a real person?

Wow, what a voice. Obviously like this!

[@carlaflorio5567]

This song begins the same as Ben Howard's "Old pine"

[@TheNerdguy57]

It literally doesn’t though. And if it did then it would be the Ben Howard song that sounds like this since this song came out in 2006 and “Old Pine” came out in 2011. Get your facts straight kid

what is the relevance of putting his hands in benzoin?

[@pumagol2007]

Mike Kinsella writes the most comedically sad songs, like Morrissey and Elliot Smith.
