The sun came up above the strange white plain Blood red flowers all wet with rain And the spirit wasn't really willing any more FOR ME, but the flesh was very, very strong And I've got very little money left and I've got no sense But I'll have none of your goddamned impudence The sun came up above the new white fields Everything was new again Pure power stripped of meaning DAY BREAKING, spring cleaning Daisies on the hillside like cancer on the skin Pretty little yellow eyes HOW THEY flutter in the wind I WOULD be grateful my children aren't here here to see this HAD YOU ever seen fit to give me children And my defenses may be working with a skeleton crew But I WILL BE be skinned alive before I'll take this from you The sun came up above the ocean out west All the colors of the rainbow WOULD YOU stand up straight, you can see OUR house IS leaning SKY BURNING, spring cleaning
i've watched this over thirty times in the past two days and that doesn't even count the amount of times i pressed the left arrow key on my ipod to replay the song over and over and over and o. . . . . is there any other videos from this performance someone can link me to?
Hi from the future! Yeah, there totally is; 4AD posted a three-part video of performances intercut with mini-interviews, if you search for "Amoeba Mountain Goats" you can find it (: Also some kind soul in the audience got his whole set and put it on the InternetArchive! The sound is tinnier but still pretty good. Check it-- archive.org/details/tmg2006-08-22/tmg2006-08-22t09.flac
The look in his eyes for the second verse is genuinely unhinged
please this performance is so iconic someone tattoo this whole video on my forehead
This video persoanlly kept me sane during one of the most painful weekedns of my life. Dr darnille owe u a life debt. YEA\
"Stand up straight, you can see the house's leaning."
I love this man's lyricism.
The change after he says spring cleaning blew my fucking mind
damn you okay john
john is one of the most emotive performers ever, this video is proof that's he is the best at what he does
omg those dynamics... the look in his eyes..... w-o-w--
I didn't realize that his voice is that angelic irl
JD? Giving me chills? Making me question my sexuality? I believe it.
if he ever looked at me like that irl-
Holy fuck, this was the best unexpected two minutes I've had in 2016.
Much better than the record.. Amazing performance
Favorite TMG song.
Oh my God?? I can't believe I've not heard this performance before, holy shit it's fucking beautiful. Jeeze, this song, this man.
I am going INSANE
I wanted to comment on this amazing video because no one else has in three years. Wow. Wow I never get tired of this song.
It's been another 3 years, do you still dig The Mountain Goats?
DexterousDiggs it’s been another 3 years. Do you still dig the mountain goats
@@DexterousDiggs I did 3 years ago and I still do now
@@Cree8Ball confirmed, still dig tmg, still not tired of this song
12abirato I’m a new Mountain Goats fan, going on a bit more than year now, but I don’t see how you could get tired of these songs
The one dislike is probably the “you” in the song
The sun came up above the strange white plain
Blood red flowers all wet with rain
And the spirit wasn't really willing any more FOR ME, but the flesh was very, very strong
And I've got very little money left and I've got no sense
But I'll have none of your goddamned impudence
The sun came up above the new white fields
Everything was new again
Pure power stripped of meaning
DAY BREAKING, spring cleaning
Daisies on the hillside like cancer on the skin
Pretty little yellow eyes HOW THEY flutter in the wind
I WOULD be grateful my children aren't here here to see this
HAD YOU ever seen fit to give me children
And my defenses may be working with a skeleton crew
But I WILL BE be skinned alive before I'll take this from you
The sun came up above the ocean out west
All the colors of the rainbow
WOULD YOU stand up straight, you can see OUR house IS leaning
SKY BURNING, spring cleaning
Chills down my spine.
