"when you still believed in me" is the crux for me. i know everyone loves that part, i dont het it, i like the build up. i discovered NMH and mre importantly, Jason Molinas Songs Ohia/Magnolia Electric Co. very late...i may not have since i prefer my pain music loud and plodding, real modern punk like Tyvek, Hank Wood and the Hammerheads (if you read the lyrics you might dare use that emo word, but the music is pure punk with a james brown after the better part of a litre of whisky. anyway, probably shouldnt cover this song. never heard these guys and i suggest y'all check out the Marked Men/Radioactivity for pop punk as long as you dont mind the guys doing it are probably your dads age (or in his record collection). You wont look back. i wont pick on these guys, too easy. ill-advised cover.

Jesse Lacey can say "brains". He purposefully planted that. He's covered this song MANY times, does anyone seriously think he would mess that up THAT many times? This man is a lyrical genius.
@porkboy86 Жыл бұрын
You're giving him too much credit. He fucks up all of Jeff mangum songs that he does because he wants to be considered eccentric. He wants to live in his shoes. I've seen three of his concerts. He's done three different covers. He just thinks he knows better because he has no idea what the songs are actually about
@porkboy86 Жыл бұрын
He's a lyrical genius, but he's covering someone else's song and altering it. That makes him a lyrical genius for changing one word. Okay, he might be but him changing one word in this song does not make him a lyrical genius

Jesse Lacey is the reason I got into NMH in the first place. Somewhere along the way in reading about him and Brand New, I became aware that he was a big fan of something called Neutral Milk Hotel. So I started reading about them, and listened to Aeroplane, and became a fan. Since then, I'm proud to say I've seen Jeff live, with Julian Koster, which is the closest thing so far to a NMH reunion. Long story short, Jesse's done a lot to bring in new NMH fans. And he nailed this song. :)

@bklepacki28 He kept the first version of the song NOT because he sang in perfect pitch and NOT because his voice didn't crack once, but because he and his band members believed that the first take captured JUST the right amount of emotion to be distributed to other people. NMH fans appreciate the band not for musical talent, but for their artistic worth. If they wanted to sound perfect or if they wanted to prove their technical worth, I highly doubt they would have used a saw as an instrument.

@bklepacki28 why one would dislike them, but I can also see why I like them. And even though they don't have the technical skill to be compared to Elliot Smith or Radiohead, the message their music sends is one that hits right where it aims with me. I can see that a lot of indie fans kind of put them to shame, but I genuinely have yet to find another band that can make me feel what they want me to as well as Mangum's. So again, I have to respectfully say that we have to agree to disagree. =]

@bklepacki28 We'll just have to agree to disagree. Haha I love Elliot Smith. Conor Oberst is great, but for some reason has never had the same emotional effect on me as Jeff Mangum. I suppose when the argument comes down to "which artist is better," there can be no further agreement. And "How to Disappear Completely" was at one point my favorite song. But I simply find some of Mangum's stuff more personally engaging. And I also find it to be the music I always wish to listen to. So, I can see

If you don't like it, then don't like it. It's not like he is trying to say that his version is better or anything, he is just playing the song. He changed the lyrics... WHATEVER! It's a cover!

@bklepacki28 If an author writes a wordy book with superb grammar, it does not necessarily make it beautiful literature. If a painter uses masterful technique and flawless perspective, it does not necessarily make an inspiring painting. If a guitarist can move his fingers faster than your eyes can follow up and down a fret-board or can flawlessly change chords, it might make his music more technically outstanding, but it does not necessarily make the music great.
