I would absolutely love to do the same thing but I don’t think I’ll be able to make it to this tour, can you do it for revenge and all of us unable to make it?
The chorus to this song means a lot to me. Recently, I've made some huge changes in my life that had led me to a much happier, fulfilled life. Lost a bunch of weight, became more comfortable with my sexuality, made some deep friendships, am closer to my parents. And every time it gets hard, I keep thinking "I'm doing this for revenge." To all the people who ever discouraged me. Who ever said "you're less than." I'm getting revenge on those people with my joy. And when I think of my little 10 year old self, confused, scared, uncertain... I think of him and tell him "I'm doing this for you. I'm doing this... for you."
Running my first marathon in October for my sister who passed away from cervical adenosarcoma. Trying to raise some coin for penn state research. Hmm I think this is going to make the playlist.
I *never* expected TMG, especially at this stage in their career, would release a single with a driving, anthemic _power-pop_ sound... But they did and good goddamn it is giving me LIFE!!!
I am a new mountain goats fan (*ahem* convert *cough cough*) and this is the first single release that I’ve been “present” for and all I can say is THIS ROCKS and I CANT wait for the rest of the album!!! Woohoo!!
Instant classic. Chills immediately. Kinda Mike Myers Resplendent vibes lyrically and I love it. Edit: THE STRINGS REAL KEEN? DARNIELLE YOU MASTERFUL SON OF A GUN.
I am so hype for a full album of up-tempo tMG songs - Some of my absolute favourites are in that style (Werewolf Gimmick, Pigs that ran, this year, etc etc)
Brand New Mountain Goats fan. I heard ' No Children ' playing in the background of something on the TV and had to look it up. Now I am working my way through all the videos.....LOVE THIS BAND!!
I didn’t think I could love John Green more, but his profound love of this band brought me here and I am reminded some love knows no bounds. And that some sentences require use of the word love thrice over. In this moment I give life five stars.
I just started a new lifestyle change due to depression combined with simply getting older (and wider). This song gives me chills as Im pushing myself to keep running every morning. Looking forward to the new album!
A few years ago I was a bit stodgy in my feelings of "I preferred the Mountain Goats when it was just pure, and just John," but this single is undeniably empowering. "I'M DOING THIS FOR REVENGE!” We all need this in 2022, perhaps more than ever.
OK, looks like we have to chime in again, on the short wave channel corresponding to Holt and Garey.... One of your best, gentlemen, lads, distant half-brothers....
I'm so excited for another album! One day, I'd love to do a trombone feature on a Mountain Goats album. My musical life will be complete. Well, not complete, but it'll have a massive feather in its cap, which isn't especially stylish, but will feel good to wear.
This is the best new mountain goats song I’ve heard in a long time. I’m actually excited for this album after a long while of being uninterested. I’m doing this for you!!!!
So so good. And I am so happy to dig into the new album. This song really has me pumped. Btw just stumbled over the "I only listen to the Mountain Goats" podcast. Which is seriously awesome. Have you all also been listening to it?
I recognize the audience/venue in a couple shots. I was right there against the stage! Aaannnnd right in the spot where the audience is obscured by a curtain 🤬 If I'd been a bit more towards center stage from stage left (like, less than a foot) I wouldn't have been behind that curtain!!! 🤷🏻♀️ Oh well, not like I could've known. At least I was there. AND I made new friends at the show: great people who I feel incredibly lucky to know... having them and the experiences of seeing several amazing TMG performances helps ease the sting a bit.
@@bleakbirds Nope, not Boston. Some of the live shots in the video were taken at the Aladdin in Portland, OR in May 2022 (on either the 9th, 10th, or 11th- I was there all 3 nights). They're the ones when they're walking off stage and the shot of JD doing the solo part 0:59 to 1:16. I started doubting myself but I took screenshots from that part of the video and compared them to pictures I took, and some a friend took (from the other direction) that have me in them. I wish I could load them here! There's a split second as Wurster's walking off stage when you can see a guy in the audience wearing a black baseball cap with white squiggly lines (it's hard to catch). He's in the photos my friend took from her side of the stage and I'm about 2-3 people down. So I wasn't there for filming in Boston, but I was there when they filmed in Portland. I'm even happier I flew out to see them now!
most exciting and interesting album concept they've had since Goths and from this track alone shaping up to be the best album of theirs since Goths as well. not that the last few albums have been bad but they haven't been incredible either for me
I heard this so much at the Alamo Drafthouse, I associate it with a montage of movies that the Alamo was screening that month. What a wonderful anthem, though.
God I wish the mountain goats were coming to a city near me. What I wouldn’t give to go to a concert! This is fantastic And honestly this song is very helpful right now.
Bruh, you guys are coming to the venue I work at and I’m so excited. John you are one of my lyrical heroes and getting to share a room with you is going to be incredible. So excited guys!
I cannot wait to scream “IM DOING THIS FOR REVENGE!” with all of you at a Mountain Goats show.
Absolutely!
Oh yeah
I would absolutely love to do the same thing but I don’t think I’ll be able to make it to this tour, can you do it for revenge and all of us unable to make it?
I can’t wait till they come to Australia so i can actually go to a show.
a strong singalong standout line to join other recent standout "me and my crew, we will deal with you / me and my pagan crew"
WAKE UP HONEY NEW MOUNTAIN GOATS
Oh shit, wasn't expecting to see you here, lol
Yo I am so damn happy to see Berd here
based berd
BERD MAN???
BERD
love the “high schoolers making a video for a school project” energy of this
This is the only song on Gimli son of Gloin's ipod shuffle as he ran from Tol Brandir to Eastemnet

Good, because fuck those people!
Good for you. I came out as lesbian in October and am going to start counselling in a few weeks. God speed man.
Keep on fighting you're gonna win
Running my first marathon in October for my sister who passed away from cervical adenosarcoma. Trying to raise some coin for penn state research. Hmm I think this is going to make the playlist.
Do it for revenge!
@ Cervical adenosarcoma will be brought to justice for what it did to Rob’s sister.
Picturing someone filling out a form and checking the "for revenge" checkbox under "Why are you doing this?"
"Why are you doing this? Select all that apply:
-For revenge
-To try and stay true
-For the ones they left twisting in the wind
-For you
-Other"
Absolutely freaking out about spotting my friends and I in the crowd in this. Probably my favorite single of the last 10 years and that's saying a lot
I *never* expected TMG, especially at this stage in their career, would release a single with a driving, anthemic _power-pop_ sound...
But they did and good goddamn it is giving me LIFE!!!
“I’m doing this for revenge” is a fucking battle cry!
He's gonna bribe the officials, and he's gonna kill all the judges.
The mountain goats shuffle playlist is about to get spicier
the mountain goats doing push-ups in the streets like they're sims
Some say Jon is still trying to climb the fence
This is exactly what I was going to post. You beat me to it. Good job.
if we all band together and buy the album Jon can afford a stepstool
@@juiceboxbento Forget that! Use the money to file a petition to the county to have the fence removed.
When the night is quiet and the moon is full, you can still hear the rattle of the chainlink.
I am a new mountain goats fan (*ahem* convert *cough cough*) and this is the first single release that I’ve been “present” for and all I can say is THIS ROCKS and I CANT wait for the rest of the album!!! Woohoo!!
WELCOME! So glad to have you along
Finally joining the Pagan Crew
Drink some of this: it'll "put color in your cheeks"
I don't know who you are. It's good to have you here.
yay! one of the wonderful things is that tMG has so much content to explore. Enjoy the ride :D
Love all the bored in Minneapolis vibes.
LOLOLOL that is pretty much all one can be in Minneapolis at this point. Bored. Well, bored and cold. :D
Tag yourselves, all. I'm the single Matt Douglas pushup at 2:30
I'm loving the shots of First Ave in Minneapolis, and another nod to Minneapolis with the Hüsker Dü pin!
Dad energy action movie. Love it!
Already imagining how TITANIC this is gonna sound live
this is great and an entire album of uptempo pedal to the floor songs, I can't wait.
So THIS is what the volume knob's for!
Instant classic. Chills immediately.
Kinda Mike Myers Resplendent vibes lyrically and I love it.
Edit: THE STRINGS REAL KEEN? DARNIELLE YOU MASTERFUL SON OF A GUN.
I am so hype for a full album of up-tempo tMG songs - Some of my absolute favourites are in that style (Werewolf Gimmick, Pigs that ran, this year, etc etc)
yeah this is classic goats (but full band!!!!) and i'm so here for it
The running *down* the stairs is everything I needed
Brand New Mountain Goats fan. I heard ' No Children ' playing in the background of something on the TV and had to look it up.
Now I am working my way through all the videos.....LOVE THIS BAND!!
morel orel?
Lol that’s funny, I became a fan when I heard “when the wolf comes home” in the background of one of my favorite walking dead episodes as a kid
I'm crying & dying
RIP me
This is an absolute jam
AHHHH!!!!! FIRST AVENUE!!!! The teeny tiny Kenwood Crossing strip mall which is 4 feet from my apartment! AHHHH! MINNEAPOLIS REPRESENT!!!!!
We're gonna need a montage;
MONTAGE!
"Don't get your hopes up, it's just some guy training goats..." So happy now
Stoked to see so much Minneapolis footage in this vid!
I didn’t think I could love John Green more, but his profound love of this band brought me here and I am reminded some love knows no bounds. And that some sentences require use of the word love thrice over. In this moment I give life five stars.
"Training Montage" is #22 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!
official anthem of Pride Month
What a wonderful day to be awake and alive!! New video!! New music!!
Wurster always looks so cool
I just started a new lifestyle change due to depression combined with simply getting older (and wider). This song gives me chills as Im pushing myself to keep running every morning. Looking forward to the new album!
Keep doing it. For revenge. And for you.
A few years ago I was a bit stodgy in my feelings of "I preferred the Mountain Goats when it was just pure, and just John," but this single is undeniably empowering. "I'M DOING THIS FOR REVENGE!” We all need this in 2022, perhaps more than ever.
Why is this my favorite Goats video now? This wholesome energy. I cannot.
This. This is what I am looking for from the Mountain Goats. My excitement is undescribable
OK, looks like we have to chime in again, on the short wave channel corresponding to Holt and Garey.... One of your best, gentlemen, lads, distant half-brothers....
Peter is out here looking like he just stole his suit from the Gentleman's Warehouse and they're after him
I have literally heard this song ONCE, 3 weeks ago. It now lives in my head, near constantly.
Thanks for doing cassetts John. You have no idea how much I appreciate it.
I guess I have to make it through summer, don't I?
Stay longer, if you can.
So glad you came to Mpls! Loved the show ❤️
First Ave crew represent!
oh this is a new classic, you can tell.
Matt is surprisingly limber and agile, as a big chonky beardy guy myself it's nice to see.
What a splendid thing to spring into existence. And my wife is in it! So much love!
I'm so excited for another album! One day, I'd love to do a trombone feature on a Mountain Goats album. My musical life will be complete.
Well, not complete, but it'll have a massive feather in its cap, which isn't especially stylish, but will feel good to wear.
Your honour
Your honour I'm stanning
YASSSS First Avenue!!
This is the best new mountain goats song I’ve heard in a long time. I’m actually excited for this album after a long while of being uninterested. I’m doing this for you!!!!

the royale in boston last october? if so, I was at the same concert!

Oh
Yup
There they are
There are the Emotions
I call this genre of music "Optimistic Literary Emo With Staying Power"
most exciting and interesting album concept they've had since Goths and from this track alone shaping up to be the best album of theirs since Goths as well. not that the last few albums have been bad but they haven't been incredible either for me
Goths is so fucking good.
@@sithspitdanikan4725 it is!! the last few after that haven't been bad but pretty lacking compared to that one imo
I'm about to see them perform live in dallas in a few days so im now binging all their songs
Aw Frick yeah dude new mountain goats
NEW FAVRIOUTE SONG
Hiked 20k this weekend and came home to find this, it's been a good weekend 🥰
I welled up watching this. Haven't been this emotional hearing new music since the first time I heard The Slow Parts 💕
New Mountain Goats and new Bo Burnham in the same week? Life ain't half-bad...
It's been an absolute rollercoaster ride lately, but YES!!!
I heard this so much at the Alamo Drafthouse, I associate it with a montage of movies that the Alamo was screening that month. What a wonderful anthem, though.
The energy! Those melodies! John's damn voice! I love everything about this!!!
Thanks for doing this for me!
Oh hell yes inject this right into my veins.
This is going to be getting a lot of play in the days to come 😊
So much Dad energy
Yea! New mountain goats!! Gotta learn this one! Sounds awesome!
just had the most painful conversation this year so far. Thanks for giving me something to leave my bed tomorrow
edit: more like week
Pretty action-packed for a bunch of old men!
Love it!

smoking a cigarette while listening to this in one of the first sunny days in months feels fucking sublime
I LOVE this!!!!!

already obsessed with this album... SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!
The never fail to surprise me. This song and style came out of nowhere and I couldn't be happier with the poppy sound. They can really do anything.
This song got me so hyped today.
This jam is badass.
God I wish the mountain goats were coming to a city near me. What I wouldn’t give to go to a concert! This is fantastic
And honestly this song is very helpful right now.
This is all I've listened to for days
Heard this on the current this morning, awesome song.
Bruh, you guys are coming to the venue I work at and I’m so excited. John you are one of my lyrical heroes and getting to share a room with you is going to be incredible. So excited guys!
