the Mountain Goats - Genesis 30:3 (Jordan Lake Sessions)

[@Nuvizzle]

I'm not gonna lie; I'm not a bible guy, and the titles of the tracks on The Life of the World to Come kinda all blend together to me and I can never remember which is which (except Matthew 25:21 because it's one of the most powerful stories I've ever heard in lyrical form and actually brought me to tears the first time I heard it). But title or no, it still takes me approximately 1 note to identify each and every one of them all the same. That record was an absolute masterclass.

It's my personal favorite Mountain Goats album.

my favourite album

[@TheseBitchesWantNikes]

​@@singtomeofautumnleaves mine too. Gets me right in the heart.

[@tyceyoder3532]

yes, i've cried listening to this recording while lying in bed more than once, what about it...

[@teotlxixtli]

I would consider myself the luckiest person alive to feel a tenth of the love the narrator of this song feels

[@howtomeetwomen-]

I don't know that I'd choose it on purpose. :/

Have a daughter

Jacob loved Rachel so much that he labored 14 years for her.

My man Matty Bones killing it on the sax as usual, I see

The Jordan lake sessions has some of the most beautiful renditions of the mountain goats' discography and this is one of them. Reading along to the lyrics with this arangement i could almost see Rachel curled up next to her baby. cried during the whole last verse.

My heart is turning black 🖤 and the only thing keeping me together and sane is music 🎶 thanks!

[@rhododendrons_509]

ummm this performance and video deserves like 5 million likes. I guess im glad I didnt take up music as a profession. because ya'll do it so much better than i ever could. but im just a lowly teacher; i dont have any money; i just appreciate artistry.

[@giscol]

I never thought there could be *another* version of this song. But, here it is...

[@PNWLegion]

I needed this today.

[@FORE1GNB0DY]

As a The Sunset Tree fan, this one is hitting extra weird today...

[@jwest88]

One of my favorites from these sessions. I've listened to many of the songs from the JLS a lot. Beautiful stuff, thank you.

[@foobag969]
