"I cannot make it through September, without a battle..." God. There is no way this song could've been improved, it is perfection. I am such a fan of the autumn-y, burnt orange feeling I get when I listen to this.
my BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What's not to like about this song? The intro with it's raging drums and guitar noise creating a state of inner chaos, followed up honest and heartfelt lyrics about depression. Then of course the instrumental outro part which to me sounds like a turning point towards better times. Calm and hopeful. Easily one of the most beautiful and dynamic songs ever written.
The way that I Want Wind To Blow transitions into this song is just amazing. I actually love it when the transition catches me off guard and I get startled from the sudden burst of fuzz. Long live Phil Elverum.
I was fully invested in early 2000 rap until I happened to hear this in my friends car while he ran into a gas station...I even remember the exact place. I felt a wave come over me and It seemed as if my brain was slightly re-programmed. Turns out some regular guy named Phil would change my life's direction like a fuckin cross-current. I even traveled to Vermont to see his new project (at the time) MT Eerie in an old barn while having NOTHING in common with any of the other fans thanks Dubbs
I took my shirt off in the yard No one saw that the skin on my shoulders was golden Now it's not My shirt's back on I forgot my songs The glow is gone My gliding body stopped I could not get through September without a battle I faced death I went in with my arms swinging But I heard my own breath And I had to face that I'm still living I'm still flesh I hold on to awful feelings I'm not dead There's no end My face is red My blood flows harshly My heart beats loudly My chest still draws breath I hold it I'm buoyant Ooh oh oh There's no end
1:29 that one guitar lead is just so crushing and beautiful. so many things, like the insane intro and godly outro and the screams in the middle, just make this song perfect, and this one part somehow just adds so much to it.
This song gives me chills and the album is one of the best ALBUMS ever created, it really was a stroke of genius. I used to walk my dog at night and listen to this album and the walks always went much longer then intended bc there was something so intagibley beautiful about walking alone at night in the cold crisp october air w that smell of autumn leaves lingering in the air..the album effected me so profoundly.
This song is basically describing my struggles of last year.....When he mentions that he could not pass September without a battle, that was my never ending conflict between me and my mother....When he faced death, That was me when my father had passed away. September of 2015 was a dreadful time for me.....I was depressed and close to committing suicide. I no longer felt a sense of importance of even living. I was ignored by everyone, and often lead to me crying every night in my bed.
I'm not even closer to your pain but in (Not necessarily September) but the last two months of the year, i discovered my ex gf (gf at the time) was cheating on me, so she spent the last months of 2017 trying to stay with me even when she was in love with someone else, so I left her with her wounds because she was killing me. This song was and is my medicine at this moment. So in a way, i kinda understand the feel.
Will always be one of my favorite albums of my entire life. This year something came over me to listen to this and the September line caught me at the perfect time, as I'm battling addiction again this year. love this album
This song always brings me back to college, alone on my camp chair, a smoldering cigarette in my hand, an empty beer at my side, while the party beyond my door goes on
god damn. god DAMN I'm starting to listen to this album and this song is just completely different from what I've heard so far. There's just so many layers to it
there might be an end to some certain things, things that bring you pain maybe, but overall in the grand scheme of things when you really zoom all the way out and take a million steps back and really give it some thought and consideration: there's no end
This whole album hits you like a fucking truck after a devastating breakup, the lyrics on every song are such a palpable representation of the feelings that occur and the agony experienced especially when you’re the one who can’t let go
A bit of a weird idea but most of the lyrics remind me a lot of what Asuka experienced during the End of Eva (like most of the lyrics after "I faced death"). (SPOILERS) Like, it could describe her final battle with the eva series, to succumb to death even after experiencing such a powerful, almost triumphant battle. And imagine coming back to life, in instrumentality, not even properly alive, just in some jelly-like state surrounded by a sea of voices. Presumably, you can finally understand others in this state - but you are not yourself - you are only others. You still want to be alive, in the real world: i'm still flesh i hold on to awful feelings " i'm not dead there's no end my face is red my blood flows harshly my heart beats loudly " And you come back to life in a red sea: " my chest still draws breath i hold it i'm buoyant there's no end " And you see the boy who caused all this, the only other person in the world at that moment. What do you do?
I can totally see this. I recently watched Evangelion and I feel like so many melancholic songs can be connected directly to it. Pyramid Song by Radiohead sounds almost exactly like Human Instrumentality and the third impact. I like this connection to Asukas death, it actually works so well.
@@dimwitted-fool Yea Thursday does that from time time. LIke their outro to "Turnpike Divides" takes from the song "X-French Tee Shirt" by Shudder to Think
I thought that at the beginning, but now I think it's a song about failed suicide attempt from drowning. It makes sense when connected with the previous song on the album, "I want wind to blow", where he is on a boat which is almost in one place because of no wind. Not to mention the lyrics "my chest still draws breath i hold it", if he was hanging himself he wouldn't be able to survive (well unless he didn't hang himself correctly).
Go Phil. What the F___ is WTF? Why do so many people now express themselves through acronyms? Seems lazy, if you don't like the music you should just probably leave and find something else on youtube that you might enjoy. Or, if you feel like stating your opinion, do it, but elaborate and be nice. Personally, I think this is great!
I have to know what these words mean, they don't make sense to me. What current state of the Microphones do you find annoying? You mean Mount Eerie's recent work? And you're just randomly saying your opinion of them on an old Microphones song for seemingly no reason? And then you randomly use some words to describe yourself that have seemingly nothing to do with anything? What does Sleep > Argument mean at all? What does Hit me mean in that context?
Intelligent people understand. When music gets to your ears, it's good. When music gets to your mind, heart and soul (at the cost of your ears) - then, it is amazing.

I THOUGHT THE SAME THING!!! That line captures my feelings every fall.
Car Seat is mostly a very Summer feeling band to me, these guys are definitely fall. Weezer might be winter.

Avrey Levitian it took seven months to finish that line, absolutely beautiful
my heeeeaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
the dude straight up turns into Jeff Mangum for a couple seconds there
BEATS LOUDLYYYYYYYY
19 years later and Phil just confirmed that he is still in the yard and the shirt is still off
He must be cold
dont call me kevin well yes, but he wants to be cold
I heard the shirt's back on tho
@@juscebola did he happen to forget his songs?

same vibe as Echo Bravo off Stratosphere
2:30 onwards he straight up transforms into Jeff Mangum and I couldn't be more amazed
Literally this
This album is now legally old enough to F U C C
Welp, I’ll brb
Fucked me up pretty badly when I was 17 so it’s been fucking for a long time
LAWD FOGIVE M- *fidgeting with belt*

that's fucking beautiful dude
i love the outro more than my life
Ironically, I think that outro’s meant to represent the rest of your life, you’re still alive
You couldn't have said it better.
The outro is like and we've got more to have your mind ponder
imagine loving your life
Scuzz outsider you don’t imagine it you just do it quit being a sap
2:31 Will never forget the first time I heard this part while high.
For the longest time I didn't even realize this song was separate from "I want wind to blow", the transition is just that flawless
This is beautiful. Best song from their best album.
His*. The Microphones is not a band it's one of Phil's solo projects
*his best album
You can use "their" to signify a single person guys :)
@@BenVelebiryeah but Phil doesn’t go by they/them so it still doesn’t make any sense. pray to god I don’t catch you in East Atlanta lil nigga
I took my shirt off in the yard
No one saw that the skin on my shoulders was golden
Now it's not
My shirt's back on
I forgot my songs
The glow is gone
My gliding body stopped
I could not get through September without a battle
I faced death
I went in with my arms swinging
But I heard my own breath
And I had to face that I'm still living
I'm still flesh
I hold on to awful feelings
I'm not dead
There's no end
My face is red
My blood flows harshly
My heart beats loudly
My chest still draws breath
I hold it
I'm buoyant
Ooh oh oh
There's no end
i love the outro it's beyond words for me to describe
Has sort of a Modest Mouse vibe.
yeah, the outro kind of heals the song.
tannerin Why do I see your comments on every video I watch lol
The ascending ”my blood” (2:30) stops me in my tracks every time. It’s shocking in the best way possible.
One of the greatest ever.
One of the best songs ever made :)
Gabriel De La Luz agreed
1:29 that one guitar lead is just so crushing and beautiful. so many things, like the insane intro and godly outro and the screams in the middle, just make this song perfect, and this one part somehow just adds so much to it.
Outro is like something off of Modest Mouses first album. This song is incredible
This comparison works too well
This is a long drive is one of my favorites in indie and jesus I think I've found another gem
No wonder I love it. Can you rec anything else that has similar vibes?

That's all anyone wants is to be heard. I hear you :)
Hope you're doing better man
Stanced Styfon are you doing better now? i hope so
just found out about this guy.what a breath of fresh air.I love this and have not heard music likethis before.wow
this whole album, but especially this song, changed me forever when I first heard it
That outro is still one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard
microphones in 2020 was a one of the best experiences i had in my life
Will always be one of my favorite albums of my entire life. This year something came over me to listen to this and the September line caught me at the perfect time, as I'm battling addiction again this year. love this album
How are you doing? It can be done I have 150 days clean
That smooth guitar at the end why it just melts me...
This song always brings me back to college, alone on my camp chair, a smoldering cigarette in my hand, an empty beer at my side, while the party beyond my door goes on
That knock at the end sounded like it was coming from the unfinished room behind my wall... spooky lol
miko tikkanen LMAOOOOOO
Idk wat dis is never heard of the microphones before but dis dis is something else
My chest still draws breath, I hold it.
I love this song so much, but I wish we could get more of that intro, so badass
The instrumental at the end is a top 5 music moment of all time
god damn. god DAMN I'm starting to listen to this album and this song is just completely different from what I've heard so far. There's just so many layers to it
its outro >>>>>
he cannot get throught september without a battle
just got recommended this and im questioning what norse god i angered to get that intro
Crazy that I thought the transition from I Want Wind to Blow to this song would be the most jarring one on this album
I'm here to tell you that rest assured, there is an end :)
there might be an end to some certain things, things that bring you pain maybe, but overall in the grand scheme of things when you really zoom all the way out and take a million steps back and really give it some thought and consideration:
there's no end
Long. Live. Phil Elverum.
Wow it's been 8 years since I last heard this lol still love it
This song hits different when you smoke 3 bowls and 2 blunts
inv me over bro whole album sesh
specific, but i don’t doubt it
DeceasedDeer that's the shit
That second verse about facing death hits different now.
I still can't believe you're gone, and I'll never be able to accept that I couldn't save you. I had no idea what you were going through.
RIP JML
2:35
This is the moment Phil became Jeff Mangum
jesus this is beautiful
why i had to born in september, now every september is a eternal battle
Felt
i finally have gotten to the point where i can play along with the fucking record im all giddy now
my blood flows harshly my heart beats loudly.....
This song is so damn depressing. Still good though
how Phil hold the note on "my blood"
just fucking kill me
Simon and Martina brought me here! 💜

This whole album hits you like a fucking truck after a devastating breakup, the lyrics on every song are such a palpable representation of the feelings that occur and the agony experienced especially when you’re the one who can’t let go
Hey autumn is starting, everyone stay strong
4:57 that part always makes me think someone was knocking at my door istg
best breakup album

favorite part: my blood flows harshly, my heart beats loudly, my chest still draws breath, i hold it. i'm buoyant
3:30
"I hold on to life with feelings" should be "I hold on to awful feelings"
"I'm boiling" should be "I'm buoyant"
No
I’m not sure wether I love this song or not, but I fuck with it lol
you love it

Is this song about a failed suicide attempt from hanging?
That makes this song's eerie dissonance extra creepy.
I thought that at the beginning, but now I think it's a song about failed suicide attempt from drowning.

Not to mention the lyrics "my chest still draws breath i hold it", if he was hanging himself he wouldn't be able to survive (well unless he didn't hang himself correctly).
Happytreefriendsfan3 plus him being buoyant means he's floating and didn't drown
