They Might Be Giants - The Darlings of Lumberland (Official Audio)

[@joegodofish]

Can we talk about why industrial horror jazz isn't a real genre, and why it should be?

[@msmockturtle4921]

right?

[@michaljones8940]

Please

[@pfp.melany952]

Please.

[@qclod]

Please?

[@SteveBarton13]

Huddling under something semi-soft: please?!

[@SirHatchporch]

I love that there are two guys on Earth who write songs like this.

[@LL-qh6gf]

This song gives me so much serotonin.

[@Realwessharpe]

One of the most underrated TMBG songs of all time...

[@cyrusha]

fr

[@ungodlypoptart]

this is one of the most musically amazing songs i have ever heard

[@Alex-xk5xt]

probably the most underrated tmbg song of all time. this song is insane how is everyone not talking about it constantly.

[@floridaflamingogirl3119]

They've been playing it A LOT at their shows over the past year. Good for them.

[@privatemumbles]

oh baby play that freaky FUNK

[@HandleThatIsNotTaken]

I first heard this one in concert a few months back, and now it's one of my favorite They Might be Giants songs

[@colinhawco6153]

An amazing Gem of a perfect TMBG song. Nobody else does this.

[@Jonasaurus7]

Yes, it's the Darlings of Lumberland Their voices are the echoes mausoleums turn to sand Empty hollow sockets freeze the soldiers where they stand The Darlings of Lumberland It's getting difficult for a ghoul Wax museum dreams are so foolish No rehearsal, no finishing school It's getting difficult for a ghoul Hold my cold dead hand for a bit Just got my cast off, I'm gonna blast off A little melody if time permits Hold my cold dead hand for a bit Yes, it's the Darlings of Lumberland Pull you off the bank and by popular demand Drag you by your mind, now you're under their command The Darlings of Lumberland Yes, it's the Darlings of Lumberland Their voices are the echoes mausoleums turn to sand Empty hollow sockets freeze the soldiers where they stand The Darlings of Lumberland

[@RowletIsAwesome]

thanks

[@thenextwindow]

when TMBG goes harder with woodwinds than most metal bands

[@SixArmedSweater]

I get the impression that The Darlings of Lumberland are an undead band with hypno-eyes. Picturing Victorian era dresses and dried mummified faces.

[@sirkusarc]

Sounds like Damn Good Times! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJPahoahiM6lh5Y

[@troypuyear2241]

My fave from Nanobots! There are a number of really good songs on the album, but this one just resonates with me.

[@illioptopede]

augh something about this song just makes me ascend every single time i hear it. first time i ever heard it was live a few weeks ago and if i hadnt been at that concert i probably wouldntve listened to nanobots. such a good album, and such a fantastic song

[@SomeFreakingCactus]

Does not make for easy listening, but still one of the most ambitious, if not unique, songs by They Might Be Giants.

[@redundantqwail9088]

Really wish there was a lyricless version. I'd trim the quiet bits and listen to those sweet brass+woodwind riffs for hours

[@cheesewheel789]

i would love the sax part for this since i'd play it when i learned it :D

[@colinhawco6153]

I am so glad i found this album, I didn't realize there was another release. I feel like Join us just came out!

[@AWSOMEPOSSUM16]

Oh wow, this is wonderful!

[@samdorbin4763]

Most underrated TMBG song.

[@ValekHalfHeart]

You are wonderful, wonderful people for creating this.

[@stephencooke4569]

It was great to hear this one in Portland, Maine this month!

[@jdzasta]

Played in Pittsburgh the other night, too. Stellar.

[@thomashinds3308]

bruhhh I would kill to hear this live. wowza.

[@squeamishfish6812]

i get goosebumps every time i listen to this.

[@kat_draws__]

*dam I love yalls music sm*

[@jackdets7450]

I shall support the ban!

[@Beetlemuse]

Theme song for a Druid Guild

[@debb8321]

ty for uploading this!

[@morumotto931]

The horns sounded great when they played this live in 2022.

[@joneelillard892]

This is an absolute bop, and reminds me of the best parts of the Professor Laytom soundtrack

[@thomashinds3308]

How is this so damn good

[@emilioaladwhosintheinterne8421]

Spooky vibe

[@lauriestern8712]

That moment when you live near Lumberland...

[@tiberiuswise]

I'm at DeVenoge. Stop by sometime for a TMBG party ;-)

[@theabyss310]

Oh, this bangs!

[@alphanovember3192]

Real good.

[@yewbranch]

Reminds me of "World's Address"

[@floridaflamingogirl3119]

You're so right. The tone is completely different, but it has those same kind of rollicking verses delivered in a playful, nasally voice.

[@JunkyardBashSteve]

Goddammit this song is amazing. I can't stop listening.

[@jennyfoxworththepianoplaye2332]

The Treehouse of Horror YTP Collab 2 brought me here

[@notveryniceatall]

doesn't matter

[@Gage-jk4pm]

Me too

[@wolvepotter5858]

Highlights of the album include this and Insect Hospital

[@getsomelead]

Is this song what happens when you drop acid on the Burnbrae haunted mansion tour?

[@carolinek.34]

I feel like the song (without vocals) could be straight from a Final Fantasy game

[@energywine]

Not necessarily FF but it definitely has a boss fight vibe

[@acedianPianist]

@@energywine Earthbound.

[@pfp.melany952]

I don’t know what game it could be for but I’m getting boss fight vibes from this song- without the vocals.

[@TheDrtool]

The description says ban, not band.

[@saturnchicvt]

its difficult for a ghoul...
