This song is so evocative to me, it's a very accurate portrait of how I felt when I was a hopeless junkie. I'll always love this song for how chillingly accurate it is.
I remember being at a show around 2003ish (Space 1110, Lubbock) and John poking fun at the 'scene kids' having to sweep their hair out of their face constantly! my oh my, how the tables have turned. Love these sessions!
The first time I heard this song I immediately knew I was gonna love All Eternals Deck, and to this day it remains my favorite though by an admittedly small margin that further shrinks every time I listen to In League with Dragons.
This is so cool. I never thought until today to look for video of the Jordan Lake sessions. This was the first song I thought to search for so idk if their is more, yet. God damn TJLS has been on my ears for months. It's so good. And saw them live this year, 2022. So fucking good thank you TMG!:
Vampires in this song refer to heroin and speed. John fought the hardest fight and got clean; he "[learned] to walk upright". John Darnielle is one of the most inspiring people I've ever had the privilege to meet and I hope to have that privilege again some day.

If you look at the TH-cam info, they apparently think this song *is* in league with dragons
this song always seems to find me alone in a dark room :,)
This is the very first Mountain Goats song I ever heard. I played it over and over again until I fell asleep.
I love this song, glad to see J.D.'s still kicking ass and taking names.
this is such a great musical summary of chronic addiction. i'll keep going to shows as long as i'm still standin' john
This is one of my all-time favorites
Hi mountain G O A T S
Still waiting for John Carpenter to come out of retirement and make this song into a feature film.
you and me both
May I Interest you into "30 Days of Night", a scandinavian vampire-horror film?

So fresh
Love this song!
All the feels ♥︎
I can safely say I am half of these views
Always a banger ❤🤘
Don't quit crawling. Not til dawn.
And dawn came, the vampires turned to dust. We fashioned stakes for the ones hidden in shadows and exposed our necks at dusk.
What did the vampires do to you as you are singing the song and seem ok?
