This is the one song I play for friends when they've never heard of neutral milk and I want to get them as hooked as i am. If they don't get it, that's when i know that we should probably stop being friends.
"ok this one's called Sailing Through and it's uhmm...not really about sex...I know it sounds like it's about sex... it's just...about getting inside of people but not through...that way really." [guitar] "because I usually just, fuck stuff up anyway." "you do that." "it does for me." "Sailing through your disease and you Your disease and you Your body like a basket Shivering in static From displays of angry tears All those years you were alive inside the closet But nobody in it there but me Now you are coming Your life is off running You’re tearing yourself apart at the seams And you are a liar, You are a liar You are a liar, And you are a lie You are a liar, You are a liaaaaaaaar And you are a lie Now I’m off sailing Sickness inhaling Every drop of blood you could bleed The world is all coming They’re coming in millions Millions of people too sick to believe And I really wanted To be in your body To be in your body To be inside you I really wanted To be in your body Awaiting your sickness A shield around you And you are a liar, You are a liar You are a liar, And you are a lie You are a liar, You are a liar You are a liar, And you are a lie Wrapped up in masters They cover you in plasters They spit in your mouth and then say “I love you” Is this supposed to save us Is this supposed to break us Oh into the [living (?)] into the toilet [in are you (?)] And I really wanted I wanted to be in your body But I can only be in your body but I can only be up inside of you And I really wanted, To be in your body Into the toilet with our faces removed And you are a liar, You are a liar You are a liar, and you are a lie You are a liar, You are a liar You are a liar, you are a lie You are a liar, you are a liar You are a liar and you are a LIEEEEEEEE EE EE EEE EE E" [chuckle] "so yeah I told you" [chuckle again]
He wouldnt play it at thw one i went to lol. I yelled out for him to play sailing through but nope. Its top 5 for me because its the first song i ever listened to. Ha
I've been obsessed with this song since I first heard it at 13 years old. It's been something I've shown countless others who haven't appreciated it and have struggled to explain or understand my own connection to. It's only now, nearly a decade later that I've realized- I like this song because I'm trans. The lyrics perfectly capture what it's like to live as a gender you're not. And I feel so stupid for not have realizing it earlier.
Hi, also enjoyed this song for many years and I came to the realisation I was trans about a year ago. This song holds such a special place for me. It took reading your comment to make me realise it is THE trans angst song for me. It's the best expression of self-doubt and gender envy I've ever heard. This is like piping my own pre-realisation subconscious through a loudspeaker. "It's not really about sex, even though it sounds like it's about sex" The pain in the ending is so relatable and cathartic, and hearing it makes me so happy I've moved on from that uncertainty and started transitioning!
Sailing through, your disease, and you, your disease and you, your body like a basket, shivering in static, for all displays of angry tears, all those years, you were alive inside the closet with nobody in it, there but me, but now your all coming your life is off running, your tearing yourself apart at the seems you are a liar you are a liar you are a lire and you are a lie now im off sailing, sickness inhaling, every drop of blood you could bleed, the world is all coming, their coming in millions, millions of people to sick to believe, And i really wanted to be in your body to be in your body, to be inside you , I really wanted to be in your body awaiting your sickness, a shield around you, but you are a liar you are a liar you ar a liar and you are a lie Wrapped up in masters, they cover you in plasters they spit in your mouth and then say i love you , is this suppose to save us is this suppose to break us a way to believe into the toilet in our youth, and i really wanted to be in your body if i could only be in your body if i could only be up inside you and i really wanted to be in your body into the toilet with our faces removed, you are a liar, you are a lie
colorful winds dripping and bleeding and bleeding and bleeding into her mouth until she touched me my delicate hand that turned into flower pedals into fire into dust into wind into me through you and i fill with all that we cant see all that we need be all that you could sell and that i felt reached and slipped and through the rotten board that day i sank and merged into..
This is the worst piece of shit my ears have ever been subject to. I literally could not close my mouth for the last minute and a half of this. I thought I might accidentally swallow my tongue.
Huh, I never said it didn't have much merit. It's quite simple; *I* *think* the screaming at the end is unpleasant to listen to. I don't like the sound of what to my ears sounds like nipple torture. If you want to get philosophical with someone, I'm really not your guy.
I love how he just calmly plays the guitar in the background as he loses it.
whoa wtf my mountaintops were not ready for that man shit
I feel like we weren't supposed to hear this
This is my favorite song to play with my car windows open. But just the last 30 seconds over and over again.
Song starts at 4:15
CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM
My favorite screamo song.
This isn't a screaming song
@@phineasmurph9539you must have not finished the video when you commented this
This is amazing. No other musician has been able to move me the way Jeff has. This song brings up emotions i never knew i harbored. Thanks Jeff.
I for one love that he's so into it that he's just yelling by the end.
When he says "Yeah, I told you..." after all that screaming...
Prepare your mountain tops.
I know it's a seven year old comment but man, they're stained.
this is a great, deep song and yeah the way he gets into just adds to that
This is easily one of the deepest, songs in my entire collection.
man i pictured someone walking up and telling him, then he just kinda freaks out and starts making noises
Near the end of the track, someone informed Jeff that Anne Frank has been dead for years.
You just killed me
Still wondering why he thinks I'm a liar lol
Not only are you a liar, you're also a lie.
Jeff gets a little angry on this one
Into the toilet with our faces removed
This is the one song I play for friends when they've never heard of neutral milk and I want to get them as hooked as i am. If they don't get it, that's when i know that we should probably stop being friends.
Fair
But not in, *that* way.
and i always thought this song was just in my head...
I hadn’t seen a lot of those photos, thanks
Hi vera
@@fletcherng7404 ah, doing an nmh deep dive are we?
Greatest NMH song of all time. Or more specifically, Jeff.
god, i love this song
The song where Jeff Mangum tried death metal
This end hahahahahahahaha, epic
Jeff gets a little upset on this one.
Wtf?! So good song but the end?! Quite scary
+Radim Žmolík best part of the song
Awesome!
Deep song. To me this represents when you can’t save someone who
is destroying themselves. Probably someone you care about very much.
Absolutely legend
An Oney plays fan in this comment section brings me comfort for some reason
"ok this one's called Sailing Through and it's uhmm...not really about sex...I know it sounds like it's about sex...
it's just...about getting inside of people but not through...that way really."
[guitar]
"because I usually just, fuck stuff up anyway."
"you do that."
"it does for me."
"Sailing through your disease and you
Your disease and you
Your body like a basket
Shivering in static
From displays of angry tears
All those years you were alive inside the closet
But nobody in it there but me
Now you are coming
Your life is off running
You’re tearing yourself apart at the seams
And you are a liar, You are a liar
You are a liar, And you are a lie
You are a liar, You are a liaaaaaaaar
And you are a lie
Now I’m off sailing
Sickness inhaling
Every drop of blood you could bleed
The world is all coming
They’re coming in millions
Millions of people too sick to believe
And I really wanted
To be in your body
To be in your body
To be inside you
I really wanted
To be in your body
Awaiting your sickness
A shield around you
And you are a liar, You are a liar
You are a liar, And you are a lie
You are a liar, You are a liar
You are a liar, And you are a lie
Wrapped up in masters
They cover you in plasters
They spit in your mouth and then say “I love you”
Is this supposed to save us
Is this supposed to break us
Oh into the [living (?)] into the toilet [in are you (?)]
And I really wanted
I wanted to be in your body
But I can only be in your body but I can only be up inside of you
And I really wanted, To be in your body
Into the toilet with our faces removed
And you are a liar, You are a liar
You are a liar, and you are a lie
You are a liar, You are a liar
You are a liar, you are a lie
You are a liar, you are a liar
You are a liar and you are a LIEEEEEEEE
EE EE EEE EE E"
[chuckle]
"so yeah I told you"
[chuckle again]
"a wade in your sickness" "are we to believe in the toilet of our youth"
This song is extremely upsetting
This is terrifying.
Best post ever. Kudos to you sir.
u go jeff!
Weirdly reminds me of Scentless Apprentice by Nirvana at the end there...
i burst out laughing man holy shit what the fuck
He never really did the screaming during live shows
He wouldnt play it at thw one i went to lol. I yelled out for him to play sailing through but nope. Its top 5 for me because its the first song i ever listened to. Ha

@@TheShattubatu hey, congratulations! I'm glad I'm not alone in this feeling. I hope that transition goes smoothly for you
The endind sounds like the vocalist of acdc tried a folk cover of Nirvana after he took some black metal lessons
Jeff is a god...
3:55 he starts going super saiyan
FUCK. He sounds like Kurt Cobain at the end. I jizzed.
Sailing through, your disease,
and you, your disease and you,
your body like a basket, shivering in static,
for all displays of angry tears,
all those years, you were alive inside the closet
with nobody in it, there but me,
but now your all coming
your life is off running,
your tearing yourself apart at the seems
you are a liar you are a liar you are a lire and you are a lie
now im off sailing,
sickness inhaling,
every drop of blood you could bleed,
the world is all coming,
their coming in millions,
millions of people to sick to believe,
And i really wanted to be in your body
to be in your body, to be inside you
, I really wanted to be in your body
awaiting your sickness,
a shield around you,
but you are a liar you are a liar you ar a liar and you are a lie
Wrapped up in masters,
they cover you in plasters
they spit in your mouth and then say i love you ,
is this suppose to save us is this suppose to break us
a way to believe into the toilet in our youth,
and i really wanted to be in your body
if i could only be in your body
if i could only be up inside you
and i really wanted to be in your body
into the toilet with our faces removed,
you are a liar, you are a lie
colorful winds dripping and bleeding and bleeding and bleeding into her mouth until she touched me my delicate hand that turned into flower pedals into fire into dust into wind into me through you and i fill with all that we cant see all that we need be all that you could sell and that i felt reached and slipped and through the rotten board that day i sank and merged into..
Sickness Inhaling
anytime brother/sister!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hold 9 for rambunctious freak out.
Just posting to give the comments a good solid number.
❤️
reminds me of tommy jaronda in bob's burgers
“YEEOOOUUUAAAUUUAAOOOUUAAAOOUUEEEEEEEEEE EEE EEE EE EEE”
- jeff magnum condoms, 1992
Did the vocalist turn into Brak at the end?
@MrJivePirate
lolin' at this.
@ownagenewb111
Indeed
Reminds me of Vore for some reason
jeff mangum makes vore music
@Ancubius I came.
I love it when Jeff is asexual
shit dude calm down
OMG, WTF!
Wish he didn't ruin this song at the end, some people find it to be a great addition but not me. This song had potential.
The fuck?
@Skyfinity gtfo. he already said it's not about sex.
This is the worst piece of shit my ears have ever been subject to. I literally could not close my mouth for the last minute and a half of this. I thought I might accidentally swallow my tongue.
im trying to figure out wether i shall listen to 240+ or 360p or 480p
480p has more SCHRRRSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and 240+ has less
this is no longer true
That went.... downhill
Carolus The Companion Robot you mean up. sky high.
I can. If you ask me this isn't all that.
Huh, I never said it didn't have much merit.
It's quite simple; *I* *think* the screaming at the end is unpleasant to listen to. I don't like the sound of what to my ears sounds like nipple torture.
If you want to get philosophical with someone, I'm really not your guy.
Jeff gets a little upset on this one.
