Billy goat beard-twenty years in the making Carried lures in his brim Carried beer in his waders Stink like alcohol of all prominent flavors Carries knives in his vest Carried war in his nature Sat among the forest floor with the critters and pinecones Tied a perfect fly with his eyes closed Veteran angler with a mission to run Make all naysayers hold t-t-t-tongues!
3 tiers deeper than the purpelist pills and had pangolin scales at the tips of his quills from the cusp of the grill spilled moxy and will in a manner that'd make red matter hold still.
its more of an allegory for obsession and its effects on a person, similar theme, beat and rhyme scheme to its parallel The Harbor is Yours, which is about a pirate that saw a mermaid and let the obsession drive him to his end. Aesop writes parables lol
Henry Hazlitt This one was first, then Harbor was on NSP. Similar to what he did with Day/Nightlight, but with a different beat for FT and THIY. Aesop the fucking king.
once upon a time in the days of yor, when the people lived fresh out of legend and folklore, there was an old geezer with his teeth to the curb he had a hook and a line and a sinker and a worm.

Years and years ago I was introduced to this song via a WoW video that started with multiple monitors for a Druid PVP build. If anyone can link me that you would be be the biggest hero. I love this song, and I loved the video. I cannot find it. If not, Aes is still amazing.
@@zero_udk awesome I honestly wasn't a huge fan of it at first but the more I listened the more I appreciated the ending n beginning where it's jus the beat, thanks for letting me know hombre

HI! I'm Illmyrin, the mage who did that. :P ua-cam.com/video/0Xn6RKvnigs/v-deo.html

Make all naysayers hold t-t-t-tongues!
As a fly tier/fisherman, these lyrics speak volumes to me
O.o it's like the nightlight to the harbor is yours
I love this analogy
Omg it really is. Love this.
this song is so underrated
7 years later I still come back to jam this! Thanks for the support
"Keep it Rod and Reel....." Fantastic.
this song is dope love Aesop Rock! i remembered hearing this in an old Element skateboarding dvd. Man good times!
Elementality
@@jarno3000 fish tales!
Exactly 😁

Who tf said that? Aes? And what track?
I dunno what's weirder, the fact that I wanna dance to an Aesop song, or the fact that the song I'm dancing to is about fishing.
its more of an allegory for obsession and its effects on a person, similar theme, beat and rhyme scheme to its parallel The Harbor is Yours, which is about a pirate that saw a mermaid and let the obsession drive him to his end. Aesop writes parables lol
@@SmitzPNK Dancing to an allegory for obsession somehow sounds more reasonable than dancing to a fishing song, I'll give you that.
Aesops ready for snow, sleat, heavy rains, gailwind!!
I love how closely this sounds to the harbor is yours but its a completely different track!
But you can rap them over each other and they sync up ツ

Aesop the fucking king.
***** Yea when I heard this song for the first time back then I was like "waaat no way that makes perfect sense now!" haha
Yea definitely sister tracks, I’m gonna hit harbor right after this song haha
Why am I hearing this just now
once upon a time in the days of yor,
when the people lived fresh out of legend and folklore,
there was an old geezer with his teeth to the curb
he had a hook and a line and a sinker and a worm.
Slept in a city that kissed the seashore
woke with a bait and tackle store trip each morn.
not a bother not alot to say
that is until you ask about the one that got a w-w-w-way.

Woke with a twinkle in his eye
Also it’s yarns not yards
"fever to curb" (from Genius). Also, I think it's "arm stretched out to define the Keel"
It's Nightlife for Harbor...
YES
This song came out first, so I imagine Harbor is the nightlight for this
That's awesome...
As soon as I read this I could hear that...nice catch
13 years man..... 🍻
Aesop = Soulmate 💖💖💖
Salty Siren You too huh?
damn.
Dead men tell no tales....
There’s a live recording that has more lyrics to this same song… recording is crap on that one, but I love the additional lyrics on the live one.
This needs so many more views...
i agree lol
sleep first, then you can warn them better
Will Smith was really good in this
WTF!! AESOP ROCK!! AWESOME!!! MORE VIEWS?? BEST SONG SINCE YEARS!! :D
Years and years ago I was introduced to this song via a WoW video that started with multiple monitors for a Druid PVP build. If anyone can link me that you would be be the biggest hero. I love this song, and I loved the video. I cannot find it. If not, Aes is still amazing.
it mightve been me. i played druid for 8 years
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🍀
Why is this song not longer!?!?!
Thomas Kasper the style of rapping is like a one verse story. Blaps for days....
So did Aesop make this beat?
Yes
@@zero_udk awesome I honestly wasn't a huge fan of it at first but the more I listened the more I appreciated the ending n beginning where it's jus the beat, thanks for letting me know hombre
