Neutral Milk Hotel - Life Is Neverending

[@branland7464]

Something about his voice in this period is so good and I wish there was more. The psychedelic imagery in the lyrics and bright melodies are so cool

[@Qwertyuiopaz]

Have you heard Olivia Tremor Control? Jeff was in that band and he sounded alot like this, I honestly like it a decent amount more than NMH

[@branland7464]

@@Qwertyuiopaz I do listen to them but I didn’t know Jeff sang in it. What songs does he sing?

[@Qwertyuiopaz]

@@branland7464 I kinda figured he was one of the main vocalists but appearantly he left the band early on. According to my research he also did some contributions after he left so I dunno. It does kinda sound like him singing on I have been floated by honestly have no idea now. Theres not much info on his OTC contributions.

I keep finding more and more beautiful NMH songs that I've never heard before. This song, Oh Sister, Gardenhead, Jennifer, and more all knocked me on my ass. These are all pretty simple songs (except maybe Gardenhead) but I've never heard anything like them before. Jeff Magnum's style is incredible.

[@NolanWalker93]

NMH had a lot of hidden stuff no one's heard of, like Unreleased Demos #1 and #2, which I believe what this is off of. But yeah, their stuff is incredible, and I'll always wish for more. But what we got now ain't half bad.

[@blight-sen]

this song and others like it by jeff have shaped me as a person. i'm forever grateful for that

[@Nagasakevideo]

The singer doesn't sound like the same person at all but the musical style is unmistakable.

[@Endvisible]

Because of the ending, I like to imagine this song being connected to Naomi.

This is the epitome of this type of music I love this song

[@amyjones4362]

If I were a mirror I'd look right deep inside myself And if things were much clearer I'd see a brighter day And if you were my lover I'd wrap your locks around my wrists And shake beneath the shudders that turn to black or fade For you know that life is never ending But sometimes the miles just seem too long to try But I've got a love, she is my anchor She held me down and saved my soul So take the blood and hate and anger and let it go If I were the summer I'd give my light to all the world And wake you in your slumber so you could see my eyes And as your feelings crumble and all the words I keep unfurl I'll catch you in your tumble and kiss your face goodbye For you know that life is never ending But sometimes the miles just seem too long to try But I've got a love, she is my anchor She held me down and saved my soul So take the blood and hate and anger and let it go If I were made of water I'd slip my bones into the cracks And freeze when it got colder to hold the walls in true And when it came to summer I'd slip my soul into the yard And give life to the flowers that I never gave to you You might also like Follow Me Down Neutral Milk Hotel Jennifer Neutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Neutral Milk Hotel But I know that life is never ending But sometimes the miles can cut you down to size But I had a love, she was my anchor She held me down and saved my soul So take the love you never gave her, and let it go

[@fortebionic]

[@ramothyreal]

This has got to be a favourite nmh song for me

[@creeper1003]

[@neros12346]

The final line is actually "so take the *love* you never gave her", not blood

[@MrTooboredtocare]

Kind of sounds like REM. I like it.

[@szejnabianco205]

It's supposed to be "unfurl".. not "will twirl"
