Jeff claims he doesn't write anymore because he already said all he had that was worth saying. I wonder if that's possible, and how can someone get that realisation. I'm not an artist at all, I'm a numbers person, but I admire art passionately (maybe because it's magical, mystical to me). How does a poet comes to the conclusion that the body of his work is complete?
"My dream girl don't exist/At the age of 5 she slit her wrist" has to be the most striking opening couplet in all songwriting. I can't think of another that instantly grabs the listener quite like that.
Possibly Jeff's best song lyrically IMO. It's such an interesting concept, having "the one" die and then being alone in this world forever. Makes me wonder if my "one" was buried in the ground.
You're all pretty daft for fighting over who stole what, this songs has the same exact four chords as: Don't stop believin' - Journey, Glycerine - Bush, When I come around - Green Day, Let it be - The Beatles, Soul to squeeze - Red hot Chili Peppers, Dammit - Blink 182, Self Esteem - Offspring, and a bunch of others. If you want to get technical, everyone stole it from Pachbells Cannon in D.
The original lyrics say she worked at a Mcdonalds in Wisconsin. Whoever this guy Jeff loved when he was younger just didn't have enough love or didn't wanna be open about it. Now she's all washed up in Wisconsin, thats how most loves work out sadly(or not so sadly). Don't forget art. This guy's art was lost until about a few years ago, now its one of the most inspirational albums ever
My dream girl did exist, and I got to be with her on and off for 7 years. She died from heroin on February 13th this year. It really hurts my goodness gracious I'm gonna die and be reborn or something if this PAIN keeps up. Send help all ye ascended healers I really need it thanks
How can anyone think Jeff magnum was not incredibly innovative in his singing style? He has a voice that, sure takes some getting used to, but its so incredibly powerful. If you can't respect that then you don't understand music. Even if you don't like his music you have to appreciate his talent.
One time in 2006 two of my friends sang this and When I Come Around by Green Day at the same time and that's been stuck in my head non-stop for 14 years.
My dream girl is jeff mangum
I'm a 90 year old man and I like this! May we bow before your blackened essence!

this is the most unique comment section I've ever experienced
I love how they re-used the "She goes and now she knows she'll never be afraid" line in Ghost.

We use to talk about the future together. Now it's here and you aren't.
Fortunately, Jeff Mangum first recorded this song in 1991, three years before "When I come around" came out.
