Dear Autumn, You may never see this, but as John says in another song "I hope you love your life now, like I love mine." I was first introduced to this song after I attempted suicide at age 19. I was in college at the time, they kicked me out and made me re-apply...basically they didn't want a liability on campus. My first year back at college, this was my anthem. I just wanted to survive...and I did. It's been over 15 years, and sometimes I can't believe I'm still alive. And obviously, because I'm posting this, I still revisit this song and feel grateful for all the small things (like this song) that kept me going. You are not alone. I am not alone. We are in this together. I am sending you all my love.

Man, I remember being a teenager and listening to this song at least once a year at 15, 16, and 17 (it felt extra good that year because me being 17 matched the lyrics), and it really helped me get through all the BS of high school and my (at the time) shitty relationship with my father. Now, 10 years later I'm 27, and am finally gaining weight back/able to eat again after having awful digestive problems that made me pretty seriously underweight and the song feels just as relevant, albeit in a different way. I guess that just says something about the universal, relatable quality of this song, even if it was specifically about John's particular situation. In 2019, for Colbert, it's about getting through another year with Trump as president, but it has a million different contexts for all the people who hear it.

This year was gonna be amazing for me. I had finally kicked a bout of suicidal depression I’ve had for over two years. Just deaths after deaths in my life, on top of trying to learn to cope with PTSD without therapy. It was rough. Then I just woke up and I felt better. Then COVID-19 came around, I managed to catch it and have been stuck inside my house for going on three weeks now (I’m pretty much recovered now though), and all my events I’d planned that got me through the winter we’re cancelled. I didn’t even realize how bad the depression had gotten again until I was singing along to this and couldn’t sing the chorus. Then the tears came. I love The Mountain Goats. I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me. I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me.

watch when stephen sings "i am gonna make it through this year" he closed his eyes and slightly yelled it. He meant that shit.

YES. That is the moment you can tell he was feeling it to his bones.

Just found this today. I have great memories of Mountain Goat concerts! I am going to make it through this year if it kills me!

This 👏 fucking 👏 gave 👏 me 👏 LIFE! 👏👏👏 Stephen was so fucking into this! So fun to watch, and what a perfect song. I've never seen this on a late night show, and honestly, I really felt this. Great performance, amazing vibes-- what an experience! I've never wanted to be in an audience for a late night show more than right now. 20/10 will definitely watch this when I next need a serious cheer up. Straight 🔥🔥🔥

They both go into the dark places, emerging joyous and undefeated. Every album. Every day.

Dammit. Totally crying, because I'm a huge wuss. And laughing, because Stephen is obviously having so much fun.
