The most remarkable thing about coming home to you is the feeling of being in motion again It's the most extraordinary thing in the world I have two big hands and a heart pumping blood and a 1967 Colt .45 with a busted safety catch The world shines as I cross the Macon county line Going to Georgia The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it's you And that you're standing in the doorway And you smile as you ease the gun from my hand and I’m frozen with joy right where I stand The world throws its light underneath your hair Forty miles from Atlanta, this is nowhere Going to Georgia
I don't think they ever had a pleasant meaning did they? I thought It was just him realizing he didn't want to romanticize self-destructive tendencies like that
Adam John Darnielle said on his podcast they don’t play this song anymore because the meaning changed because of events in the world around gun violence and he didn’t like it
@@oddjam It more along the lines Jon maturing as a song writer and feeling that the cliche of the rejected lover who does something crazy and brash to like showing up announced with a gun is kind of thing he wants to put out into the world anymore. He says he wrote this song when he was like 20 and that reflecting as an adult it just doesn't work.
Watching this now makes me so sad that Peter is now gone. So happy I got to see them play together twice.

It's the most extraordinary thing in the world
I have two big hands and a heart pumping blood and a 1967 Colt .45 with a busted safety catch
The world shines as I cross the Macon county line
Going to Georgia
The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it's you
And that you're standing in the doorway
And you smile as you ease the gun from my hand and I’m frozen with joy right where I stand
The world throws its light underneath your hair
Forty miles from Atlanta, this is nowhere
Going to Georgia
Hi Joel.
Dark Throne shirt. My man.
Good shit
Fucking outstanding
They don't play this song anymore- the gun references took on a more unpleasant meaning

It was always pretty unpleasant. But it's meaningful. I hope this isn't the real reason they aren't playing it yet.
