I've heard a different version where he adds a stanza that goes something like "My dream girl dont exist, she works at a mcdonalds in madison wisconsin. She was cool but she let the system get to her, one day she gave up on art and just made hamburgers"
That's because we're all depressed f*cks/loners that are thinking about love and thus in deep despair and anguish. Personally, I'm too unenthusiastic and miserable to be angry.
I love this band so much, but it's probably not a good idea to listen to them when you're feeling sad. It just makes you more sad... but in a good way. A good kind of sad. Weird.
Three Peaches in particular can leave you feeling like shit. This songs lyrics are just amazing though. Got to be one the coolest opening two lines of any song.
The artist is Evariste-Vital Luminais , the painting is Les fils de Clovis II which translates as The sons of Clovis II. it has been run through a reddish filter though.
how can people call a 4 chord pattern a rip off???? This was written before "when I walk around"...who on earth expects Jeff Magnum copying Green day??? This guy has better things to listen to than dookie!!!!
The Sons of Clovis II" by Évariste Vital Luminais, in the painting the two teenage boys had their tendons cut, (hence the bandages) and were sent down the river on a barge to their fate
ease your petty concerns music will always be music regardless of what chords whomever plays whenever & however it happens thank you neutral milk hotel for your fantastic works
Jeff Mangum mostly wrote in the aeroplane over the sea about world war 2 and to some degree anne frank, and lots of people joke that he's in love with her.
perhaps he's called ian? 5 years ago a street musician named ian showed me nmh. he sang in the aeroplane over the sea for me,telling me he would have loved to hear me singing that song too. so i did. then 3 years later i saw him lifting a bike while running all around...with this japanese guy. anyway i often sing in the aeroplane over the sea since that day.
The first known appearance of it is on a demo from 1991. This version here is from 1996 - you can check the band's website, which has a song index. I'm actually surprised at that too - I thought he'd written the material for Aeroplane much later.
In my opinion its pretty idiotic says that these chords are ripped off another song or that another song ripped off these chords because a lot of songs use similar chord patterns (particularly I, V, VI, IV like this), but that doesn't mean its a rip off... if the melody was the same it'd be a ripoff
Are you 100% that this track was recorded in 1991? I ask because of the Track's ending obviously leading into a Track I'm sure we all here love on the Over the Sea Lp. Thank you.
Given that that is the true title of the Painting, why is it that the above comment regarding the title is so emphatically stated? Is there reason to believe the work had some other title? Thank you for the time, regardless as to whether you know the answer.
I would say a lot of the songs flow together pretty good. On both their albums, its like not just ONE SONG, its all of em combined. Thats why I love em so.
First of all, he didn't rip it off, he wrote this song a couple years before "Dookie" came out. Second, part of his whole schtick is having that sort of loud, mediocre voice. Third, this chord progression is extremely common. You know that "Axis of Awesome 4 Chords" video? That's these exact four chords - I V vi IV.

+fatyfeet That's the one from "Invent Yourself A Shortcake" tape! :)
My favourite stanza.
i love how genuinely non-aggressive this video's comment section is compared to the rest of the internet.
That's because we're all depressed f*cks/loners that are thinking about love and thus in deep despair and anguish. Personally, I'm too unenthusiastic and miserable to be angry.
That's because you haven't seen the ones 4chan users infested. Don't worry though, it's not like they heard anything else than ItAOtS
Still lookin' for that Dream Girl.
dream girl don't exists ... ^.^
Error 404: Dream Girl Not Found

She dead
I love this band so much, but it's probably not a good idea to listen to them when you're feeling sad. It just makes you more sad... but in a good way. A good kind of sad. Weird.
I know what you mean...
The Smiths gives you a sad kind of sad
Three Peaches in particular can leave you feeling like shit.
This songs lyrics are just amazing though. Got to be one the coolest opening two lines of any song.
mood
Well she existed at some point but she died in 1945.
Smack Bramhall and she was born with roses in her eyes?
Shes still here but shes a little boy in spain playing pianos filled with flames

Good to listen to on Valentine's day
Not a Robot or everyday lol
"Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all" - Jeff Mangum
My favorite line from that song.
The way he sings at the beginning of the song quite reminds me of Syd Barrett.
It's a very common chord change. Plenty of bands have used it over time, nobody has ownership over a strumming pattern.

My dream girl don't exist because I'm a raging homosexual
damn, that's a beautiful picture

The sons of Clovis II? I don't get it.
The first known appearance of it is on a demo from 1991. This version here is from 1996 - you can check the band's website, which has a song index. I'm actually surprised at that too - I thought he'd written the material for Aeroplane much later.
This was written around 1993.

Thank you, Jason! You're a nice fellow.
This song is E, B, C#m, A. That song is E, C#m, Ab, A. Nice catch bro, I wouldn't have noticed that myself. Although Where is my mind is alot slower
Artist Evariste-Vital Luminais' painting 'The Sons of Clovis II', 1880, oil on canvas.
It has tone filters over it to make it look the way it is.
we’re all each others dream boys and girl down here
More like your worst fuckin nightmare
He wrote this in the eighties >_< not that he'd have been the first to have used these thought.
I LOVE everyone looking at this comments section, cept you Sam you still owe me a drink...ok fine I love you too my dude.
never made the connection! fucking love syd and jeffs acoustic stuff
I'M NOT OKAAAAAAAAAYYY
@Blind Mesiah, funny thing is I was just thinking about that song before
Yeah, except for the fact that this was recorded in 1991 and that in 93
What's that picture used in the video?
When I Come Around and My Dreamgirl Don't Exist are both good songs. Why the fuck does it matter who copied who, if at all? Just listen to the song(s)
Haha yea. I actually didnt mind Dookie" (back when i used to listen to it in middle school lol) but I' m pretty sure this song came out first.
Green Day - When I Come Around
WHEN I COME AROUND
***** Was it only weeks before the guns, all came and rained on everyone?
The Sons of Clovis
With just her sister at her side
forgot all about this one, yep
Uhh yeah it is man. Look it up
Are you 100% that this track was recorded in 1991? I ask because of the Track's ending obviously leading into a Track I'm sure we all here love on the Over the Sea Lp. Thank you.
Wow
Poor jeff, just can never be with his waifu.
"shit, cuz, how tha fucked we get out here???"
Given that that is the true title of the Painting, why is it that the above comment regarding the title is so emphatically stated? Is there reason to believe the work had some other title? Thank you for the time, regardless as to whether you know the answer.
what's the name of the picture?
and some green day song
'waifu'? What does that word mean or refer to? Thank you.
Bush ripped off like every NMH chord progression.
Wonder what the song(s) is(are) that this one goes with?
"She goes and now she knows she'll never be afraid"
I think that's the link.
I would say a lot of the songs flow together pretty good. On both their albums, its like not just ONE SONG, its all of em combined. Thats why I love em so.
Explicitly it is Ghost, but they all fit together on both albums. Which it is why its worth considering both these albums together :)
man. i fucking LOVE neutral milk hotel. i can never get over it lol
"Ghost", and the chord progression is the same as "Naomi"
and Glycerine by Bush.
September 2018?
so this is where green day got the chords for 'when I come around'
It is not an uncommon chord progression.
Actually, I deserve to be knocked - you are right, Mangum is all you wrote he is.
who are you quoting? :^)
what's the inside joke here?
It's easier to ask.
First of all, he didn't rip it off, he wrote this song a couple years before "Dookie" came out. Second, part of his whole schtick is having that sort of loud, mediocre voice. Third, this chord progression is extremely common. You know that "Axis of Awesome 4 Chords" video? That's these exact four chords - I V vi IV.
what is the companion song?
what were they being punished for?
Other way around, When I Come Around was written around 1993 and this wasn't :(
so whos the human who created the art tho
and every blink 182 song ever, no less
I have a lot in common with this song...at the age of five she slit her wrists..... call me horror but i thought of the all the ways to die.
Is that song that "probably will never be released" "Ghost?"
Same chords as When I Come Around by Green Day.
reminds me a little of Incubus WYWH
ghost :)
So who stole his rift he's playing here first?!
I dont see it.
When I Come Around by Green Day :P Like exactly in every way, besides the unique singing.
ghost
all cords are a rip off deal with it and be happy fellow music lover.
worst argument ever.
that's not the lyric.
😳 🌛👩 🔪✋ 😔
Real talk, a lot of ITAOTS was based on Jeff's love for Anne Frank.
Do not bother with them.
I don't think she ever existed at all.
dat feel
Sounds a lot like when I come around by green day
written way before dookie came out, around 91 apparently
>tfw no gf
>tfw no qt3.14 hipster gf
Also that really shit Green Day song lol
Just the guitar from When I come Around.
... A bit lazy.
You're terrible, this sounds nothing like that song, sure they share the progression of two chords probably. It's not the same.
This song was recorded in 1991. When I Come Around was recorded in 1993.
A bunch of bands use G,C,D and Em, they're literally the four most basic chords ever.
Ah 1991, then my apologies for jumping the gun there.
That is a very overused chord progression, though.
really bad vocals
