A weird place...to hang out.

Wow. Every time this man changes a lyric it's beyond cathartic.

His changes to Two Headed Boy were incredible. If only that dang harmonica.....

How four added words can hit like a goddamn tidal wave I just don't understand, but I'm absolutely reeling.

[@faithandherghosts]

The Mountain Goats are saving the world.

This is like he made the song into the hopeful thing that people would wish it to be.

I can't help but tear up every time I listen to this version. it feels like looking at the path ahead knowing, beyond all odds, that I will somehow navigate it.

[@jwest88]

One of my favorite songs by them. Broom People is another I love. I have a ticket to see them in August. Had a ticket to see AJJ a while back but didn't end up making it and gave it to a friend. Really wish I'd gone to that one though.

I hope you got to go before pandemic. :/

I know it's actually about being haunted by your past, but I THINK it's actually ACTUALLY about hoping against hope that things can and may get better. It's true we can't escape our traumas, but with time and effort we CAN do battle with them and reduce them to small, ugly things that can't harm us anymore. Whether I'm right or wrong god DAMN is this ever a beautiful song.
