The little lemon blossoms In perfect animation And your tangerine perfume Tasted like salvation Green olives on the tree Falling down on me And you coming through the light rain Effortlessly And will we then arrive At the house justly appointed To find you in your splendor Righteous and anointed Green olives on the tree Falling down on me And you coming through the light rain Effortlessly

With all the love in the world and billions of hours listening to the best band in the world, the intro sounds like trump explaining the plot of the games. (except john has genuine humour and warmth)

I waited here all by myself The room was dark and it smelled like sulfur I heard the screams from way down in the darkness Felt pretty sure my life was over I kept my hat on just for luck Sang simple tunes the whole night through I wondered if I'd wake to find myself in flames As I waited here for you Yeah when you came in I could breathe again I saw some guys dressed up like sorcerers Blue robes that flowed above the ground They came and went and I was frightened for my life I tried not to make a sound Just when my solitude was closing in I heard a howl like screeching tires And I told you the one thing I know how to say Through the bright ringing drone of 8-bit choirs Yeah when you came in I could breathe again

full force galesburg might actually be my favourite tmg album and i was listening to it on a train yesterday and experiencing exactly what jd describes at the start so THANK YOU for this

The answer is Shinto - on obesity for married couples

The greatest songwriter I have found in my 54 years

It’s the complete mean from someone who understand the theme😂😂😂😂 this guy is a genus!!

such a dead crowd

If anybody was going to have the guts to sing the original "muddle through somehow" instead of "hang a shining star upon the highest bough" I was hoping John would do it.

I know for a damn fact that this is older than 3 years but I can't find the original upload, so god bless you for the re upload. And Merry Christmas.

it will never not upset me that this isnt on spsotify for me to have in my rainy days playlisst.

i listened to this song on repeat one morning last week for like, 2 hours, and cried the whole time

Makes you wonder what it is like as a Toad in a castle that was warped over...

Holy shit, how did I miss this

This should be the credits to the new Mario movie 🙏

He’s no Simon, but he’s dope

"When you came in I could breath again" ohmy heart!

"On the day i forget you... I hope my heart explodes..."

Is this "found filk"?

Y'all are such the free radical.

You did it

I want to make the 'you are coming down with me' part my ringtone

I WANTED YOU.... to love my like you used to do...... Pure desperation to keep the flame lit.

Damn this song hits me every time. Love this version. Thanks for having it here.

the piano melody at some points sounds like Deuteronomy 2:10 and that really adds to this song

:’)

I don’t think there is anything funny about this Thank u john

the introduction alone was a masterpiece

"There is a guy... he's a plumber..."

The thing I love about the Mountain Goats is that no playlist is really complete until you have a video for your favourite cover of a given song and your favourite introduction monologue for it

it's amazing to watch him play

This song gets me every time. I know it's about a cartoon plumber but the "yeah when you came in, I could breathe again" hits like a semi truck, every time. 😥

Proof, if anyone needed it, that JD can write a song about absolutely anything and make it beautiful, emotional and epic.

I had to watch because I was sure this was Kresge from the thumbnail. I had to make sure.

bark

"for Judy Garland with love" - beautiful

Check out the future kings of nowhere

Breaks me a little bit more every time

If anyone wants to introduce the mountain goats to someone this is the first video you need to show them

the energy at this show is unmatched, these videos are amazing

Which album is this song on? I don't know this one. He has so many great songs.

Far and away the gothest Christmas Carol.

Thank you SO much. I’ve never seen the video from which this audio was ripped.

Bo Burnham really aged terribly

The youtube algorithm has blessed me with this 141 view gem

I will always need a little more and this video should always fill that gap. I love TMG. Keep it up

Did he nibble part of the song scribe?!

Never heard that "as if the final days were descending" line before. It's better than the one that made the album, I think. Thanks for the upload--great performance.

Never before have I found a performance that makes me laugh and subsequently give me chills, and then make something so mundane and silly into something so profound. P.S. I was actually present for this performance (you can hear me; I'm the especially loud laugher), and bumped into John Dardielle afterwords as my date and I were headed to the water fountain, and he was trying to sneak out the back (he's very much an introvert, and doesn't do well with interacting with large groups of fans). He gave me and my date a very large Hershey's bar that his manager had given him and he didn't want, though I suspect he was just using it as a means to get rid of us. We took that Hershey's bar to the nearest watering hole and shared it, along with a pitcher of cheep beer, and it all tasted like teenage emo tears and victory.
