Wild Sage - the Mountain Goats
and some days I don’t miss my family.
and some days I do.
and some days I think I’d feel better if I tried harder.
most days I know it’s not true.
Alpha Rats Nest by The Mountain Goats
It’d be pretty hard to pick my favorite song when it comes to tMG’s lyrics, considering how vast the discography is, but this would probably be in the top ten.
Also, this is an excellent way to end an album as heavy and emotionally-charged as Tallahassee.

“I wrote “Palmcorder Yajna” and the way I wrote it was I had a chord progression, I liked the sound of it, didn’t have any words, so I just barked out an intersection of Pomona. It was the intersection that my dear friend Franz Writter always told us: If you ever get caught by the cops, and they ask you where did you score, tell them Holt Boulevard. They can’t touch you if you tell them the name of the street [where there are many drug dealers]. I barked out “Holt Boulevard!” and amused the shit out of myself just yelling the name of a random street that’s a part of my childhood. I felt like I was mythologizing this nothing area, and then I named the next two streets.”

The Mountain Goats: This Year
Album: The Sunset Tree (2005)
There will be feasting and dancing
In Jerusalem next year
I am going to make it through this year
If it kills me
I am going to make it though this year
If it kills me
