"Through My Tears (a.k.a. Message Sent)" Watch the wind blow your cigarette smoke Through my window and out to the sky This message sent, drilled into your heart But now the ink will fade Before the night is through my dear Where were you when the cracks were forming Where were you when it all caved in You were sleeping safe that morning Holding insecurities that burrowed underneath your skin And fade away All alone - another twisted moment's gone That will never pass this way again And through it all I thought there'd be some shred of hope But faith I've found will do you in And all the words that build into A bridge of love between me and you Will stumble, crack and fail to fly And now my only one, where have you gone Are you another heart that I must sing goodbye my dear Where were you when the cracks were forming Where were you when it all caved in You were sleeping safe that morning Holding insecurities that burrowed underneath your skin And fade away
I'm pretty sure I've seen a VHS of them playing this at the now-defunct Athens show-house The Ultramod. Much love for NMH and much love for the dearly departed Ultramod. (It was on MLK near College)
Two songs to expect from Jeff. The ones that make you feel like you're crying tears of joy while riding a burning rainbow over a peach colored sky, looking down at the Pacific. and the ones that sound like the playlist of a depressed college student who has sobered up from said LSD trip and will now kill his ex and her entire family.

Jeff being the Archangel on the wheel of good & evil on the cover of Blue Celosia by Garrett Snow explains why I became obsessed with his voice and music.
One of those songs that would play during a scene of a film where a character is committing suicide, and you watch with fascination and awe because the song is so perfect.
It is possible. He has broken apart and combined so many of his songs that I am sure they are all probably just different parts to one huge song in his head.
Older versions of Oh Comely never had the second, 'goldaline' section. Instead, that section was a part of a trilogy of songs which included 'Now There is Nothing' and this. Those songs in the trilogy probably evolved together, hence the similar chords
I can't believe no one realized that 1:48 - 2:37 became part of Oh Comely! "Goldaline, my dear, we will fold and freeze together, far away from here. There is sun and spring and green forever."
Pura poesia! Felizmente, tem gente que entende de música e considera o Neutral Milk Hotel uma das maiores bandas da história do rock! Tendo apenas dois álbuns! Conheci através de dois alunos, adolescentes, do colégio onde trabalho.
"Through My Tears (a.k.a. Message Sent)"
Watch the wind blow your cigarette smoke
Through my window and out to the sky
This message sent, drilled into your heart
But now the ink will fade
Before the night is through my dear
Where were you when the cracks were forming
Where were you when it all caved in
You were sleeping safe that morning
Holding insecurities that burrowed underneath your skin
And fade away
All alone - another twisted moment's gone
That will never pass this way again
And through it all I thought there'd be some shred of hope
But faith I've found will do you in
And all the words that build into
A bridge of love between me and you
Will stumble, crack and fail to fly
And now my only one, where have you gone
Are you another heart that I must sing goodbye my dear
Where were you when the cracks were forming
Where were you when it all caved in
You were sleeping safe that morning
Holding insecurities that burrowed underneath your skin
And fade away
this is message sent.
Also known as through my tears lol
@@LemonWedgeinc correct, I was just a dumbass when I commented this all those years ago.

I can't believe they didn't publish this on one of their albums.
It eventually evolved to be part of oh comely, but I agree, it stands on it's own.

This is absolutely beautiful
Between Rodian and this… What a great trove you have here! Thank you!
Sounds like it could be on The Good The Bad and The Ugly soundtrack
still not able to get over it
I have never heard a studio version before, thanks for posting!
This is incredible! Nice find.
This song is so touching...

Poor Scott Spilaine. He's all blurry back there!

I Met Him Outside a Neutral Milk Hotel Show 2 years ago
old comment, but what was he like? all the members are pretty weird guys, but julian especially seems so innocent yet ominous.

What an amazing song, too bad there isn't any better quality recording of it!
Mountain tops ready
stain them
@@ayusha149 oof
For some unknown reason I keep returning to this song, even though recording quality is pretty bad... I'd love if they'd rerecord this!
I think the quality adds the tone... Like most of my favorites end up being fuzzy demos.
Yes, thank you.
thank you
legendary
Most excellent 😁
is this an old version of oh comely?

@@conordrake2986also parts of oh sister
Reminds me of Baby Bitch by Ween
starting to believe neutral milk hotel is the only thing pure in this world....
DIVNO bravo Tina...
too good for the general public
You could use a TH-cam-MP3 converter, it's not on an album or up for sale anywhere as far as I know, so that's pretty much your only option.
I hate when my speakers don't go loud enough for nmh.
I can't believe no one realized that 1:48 - 2:37 became part of Oh Comely!
"Goldaline, my dear, we will fold and freeze together, far away from here. There is sun and spring and green forever."
I can't see the similarity
@@jareddawson4196 same melody different lyrics
reminds me of Buenos Tardes Amigos
Is this available ANYWHERE? Would go to the ends of the earth for this
which record is this on??
Godspeed, tho.
Aha, Nice meem!
XLNT!!!!

Don't forget Andrew Jackson Jihad.

Conheci a banda através do livro Will & Will. To adorando as musicas.
