Oh Sister by Neutral Milk Hotel. Apparently it was a companion song to the song "Oh Comely", but didn't make it to the final cut. This is in no way my music.
And I thought I heard them all. The studio albums and bootlegs are enough beauty for an entire lifetime. I still pray Jeff comes back, hopefully at a time when a lot of people need hope.
I love this guy! Already got tickets for the ATP Mangum headline show. Brililant man, a true inspiration to me, to all of us who have the luxury of hearing his voice in song.
@iamaphoneyVEVO ...the version i have is called "live @ aquarius records" (i think in SF) and i believe it is from 7/4/96. eight songs, it's a monster.
I can hear Communist Daughter and Oh Comely. It makes me wonder greatly the significance of those lines and how the lyrics of the songs all tie together...
@ChristianPLM Haha, yeah, instead of calling a track "hard-to-find," people will have to start putting "previously rare" on their video descriptions, lol..
I hope this is accurate. Oh sister, don't be afraid of me I won't be nailing you down in the nursery Just like the rest of them did With those watery, wandering fingers of spit That were supposed to be glorious and fine. Oh sister won't you believe in me I only wanted to be hard on the family Here with you now in this silly infirmary Your mother makes frantic and drunk calls From Germany all of the time. Oh sister, sweet brown and comely, Iwill be milking with you making fun of me now that my moods are not what they used to be there has been no alive laying next to me for such a long time. Oh sister, sweet brown and beulahery And milk from your blisters on your grandmother's jewelry There in the parlor all naked in front of me Watching the lights from the cracks Making archery animal designs. Rose Wallace Goldeline just moves her mouth over anything That's fleshy free and flowering with oranges out in the open But don't you waste your sins again She don't need you or won't fuck your friends And you, you're American, self important boiling over To prove that she must still exist She moves herself about her fist And won't ever, never gove a shit About all those words you're wasting again Some pretty bright and bubbly wonderous dream You'd like to kill and clean And claim her as your own But don't you worry All those dainty and dirty emotions Just go away and fade out on their own Sister, now that you're leaving Our fingers will falter Our lungs will be leaking All over each other and without even speaking We'll know that it's over and smile and go greeting Whatever comes next And oh sister You're getting married with some angry twister That you'll have to carry home Drunk every evening from the cemetery And if he makes it back half alive you can Bury him under your sheets And oh sister Now that you're grieving I can not imagine there is any meaning Forgetting you ever could once had the feeling that made you keep on And pretend you were breathing of all of this world And in an age of empty rings I don't want to feel the thing I don't even want to know Rose Wallace Goldeline Don't you ever die on me All the ways it goes and falls
Failed at love a few weeks ago. Found a girl that I had hoped would help me with my depression and loneliness yet all she did was increase both. Been listening to Jeff for the past few weeks now. I'm sorry about your test, I sincerely hope you do better next time. Failure always sucks

Now would be a good time
"Rose Wallace Goldaline just moves her mouth over anything "
Why is this so beautiful? It's so goddamn beautiful.
this song feels like sitting around a space heater in a cold open garage in the snow at night with your best friends
taylor holloway how poetic and nice. I like the visual.
Amen
You're high, but I agree :)
now that you mention it, yeah thats exactly what its like
this makes me cry large tears
His song writing... it's just...
Oh Comely + Communist Daughter + In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
I love the little discussion bits they have
I love this guy! Already got tickets for the ATP Mangum headline show. Brililant man, a true inspiration to me, to all of us who have the luxury of hearing his voice in song.
this will by my favorite song for the rest of my life.
is it still?
I am really hoping he plays this at the show in Boston - its one of my favorites. I'm so happy Jeff is doing shows again!
Follow up?
Their best song and they never realeased it. And only two versions exist. And they are fairly hard to find. Sigh. It is beautifullll.
doubt I'll ever stop listening to NMH. just such special songwriting
This is stunning.
This song transports me to another planet.
i really wish this could have been included on the cd...it would have made it better than it already was, which is reallllly damn good
Speechless.
It's like Oh Comely meets In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.
Awesome.
God this is beautiful.
Friend turned me onto to this band ....love them
Heartbreaking, man. I feel like I know this man so well.
love the picture
The best part of the song: 0:01 - 4:32
I disagree, I'd say the good stuff starts at 0:00 - 4:32
@@InfactBased no 0:00 is fucking garbage /j
What a great band!
one of only two songs i can find where jeff says a naughty word.
There is pieces of Oh Comely in here...
I like the other version of this song better. But its always amazing to hear jeff sing it.
@iamaphoneyVEVO and i should say--this audio is from that performance.
hopes were dashed when I found out this wasn't a cover from desire.
I like this better than studio version
This is a fucking fantastic song
would kill for a studio version of this
there is one, on the Ferris Wheel on Fire EP
***** gotta get the box set though for that shit
It's on TH-cam lmao
daRkxRelik in the year since I posted this, I found it
@womble67uk It's your lucky day - a studio version will be on the new boxset announced today.
Dude this is fucking dark..
this comment fits jeffs surreal insanity perfectly.
Where do I get this song?!
This is masterful
Jeff Mangum have a creative mind... =D
@love4all4ever
Are you joking? ITAOTS is a fucking masterpiece, as is, and it would've thrown off the album's flow, as much as I love this song.
How could this not find room on the album? How is that possible?
I need this mp3.
damn
Why the hell as this never released!
@The84camerondurkin i know especially considering the album isnt THAT long
@iamaphoneyVEVO ...the version i have is called "live @ aquarius records" (i think in SF) and i believe it is from 7/4/96. eight songs, it's a monster.
What's this recorded from?
Jeff Mangum is fucking golden.
great speed control. emo~folk is born.
lyrics are are so sentimental....
Was this at jittery
Joes?
this was recorded from 1996-07-04 Aquarius Records in San Francisco
i love you
@The84camerondurkin IT HAS ROOM IN AN ALBUM NOW!!!!!!!
@olivegirl1989
Jeff and an eighth... that's heaven.
she is great isn't she.
I can hear Communist Daughter and Oh Comely. It makes me wonder greatly the significance of those lines and how the lyrics of the songs all tie together...
i was so disgusted at the top comments that i'm like, "fuck this" and closed this tab, then the music cut out and i'm like, "fuck everything".
this sounds reald familiar
@HawthornxxVideos this is memorable.
@kingcanti You also used to be able to get some stuff like "Jittery Joe's" at the Elephant 6 website.
Sorry...Jeff Mangum has a creative mind. *
Thanks.
@womble67uk
What is the other version?
@rhinocore is the other one naomi?
Could somebody explain this? Is this like half Oh Comely, sped up, and half original?
@ChristianPLM
Haha, yeah, instead of calling a track "hard-to-find," people will have to start putting "previously rare" on their video descriptions, lol..
Somebody's birthday party I think
@ChrisnSnoop Aquarious Records
Does anyone know the lyrics to this version? I can't quite hear the audio too clearly
I hope this is accurate.
Oh sister, don't be afraid of me
I won't be nailing you down in the nursery
Just like the rest of them did
With those watery, wandering fingers of spit
That were supposed to be glorious and fine.
Oh sister won't you believe in me
I only wanted to be hard on the family
Here with you now in this silly infirmary
Your mother makes frantic and drunk calls
From Germany all of the time.
Oh sister, sweet brown and comely, Iwill be milking with you making fun of me now that my moods are not what they used to be there has been no alive laying next to me for such a long time.
Oh sister, sweet brown and beulahery
And milk from your blisters on your grandmother's jewelry
There in the parlor all naked in front of me
Watching the lights from the cracks
Making archery animal designs.
Rose Wallace Goldeline just moves her mouth over anything
That's fleshy free and flowering with oranges out in the open
But don't you waste your sins again
She don't need you or won't fuck your friends
And you, you're American, self important boiling over
To prove that she must still exist
She moves herself about her fist
And won't ever, never gove a shit
About all those words you're wasting again
Some pretty bright and bubbly wonderous dream
You'd like to kill and clean
And claim her as your own
But don't you worry
All those dainty and dirty emotions
Just go away and fade out on their own
Sister, now that you're leaving
Our fingers will falter
Our lungs will be leaking
All over each other and without even speaking
We'll know that it's over and smile and go greeting
Whatever comes next
And oh sister
You're getting married with some angry twister
That you'll have to carry home
Drunk every evening from the cemetery
And if he makes it back half alive you can
Bury him under your sheets
And oh sister
Now that you're grieving
I can not imagine there is any meaning
Forgetting you ever could once had the feeling that made you keep on
And pretend you were breathing of all of this world
And in an age of empty rings
I don't want to feel the thing
I don't even want to know
Rose Wallace Goldeline
Don't you ever die on me
All the ways it goes and falls
MP3!!!
@GuBB3rGuN I mean 40 watt club.
Duh. everyone does.
@AllFolk3dUp Already did.
*has
@kingcanti google "thecollective sashwap"
It's "mangum" not "magnum"
he's a man you chew, not a gun you shoot
i don't know why i said that because i really didn't care
my names really skatesatan I just put Vince so nobody knows who I really am. hail skate Satan or die under the wheel.
Well that's kinda rude...
u shouldnt use that word its insensitive to butt pirates
failed my road test today
never failed anything in my life
idk how to respond to this awful feelling
not in the comments of a youtube video???????
You'll never amount to anything now : (
You'll probably nail it next time
Failed at love a few weeks ago. Found a girl that I had hoped would help me with my depression and loneliness yet all she did was increase both. Been listening to Jeff for the past few weeks now. I'm sorry about your test, I sincerely hope you do better next time. Failure always sucks
Jeff is better than sex.
@IxTASTExBETTER Please don't kill Jeff.... if you could get his creativity buy drinking his brain I'd like to eat Manny Pacquiaos arms : D
